Miriam's research is locked

[Ned]

I never noticed this before, but Miriam's research appears to be locked at -2, just as Wang's efficiency appears to be locked at 0.

I noticed this only on my current game where I am running Miriam as Demo, Green, Wealth, and Cybernetic. This should yield a research rate of 0. But it remains at -2.

I don't recall ever seeing this posted here before.

BTW, what happens when she is running Fundy? Does research remain at -2? (I will check this tonight.)

[Flubber]

I have never seen that noted before -- I play Miriam infrequently myself but I would have remembered if someone posted that.

Research goes from -2 to -4 when running Fundy. It drops back to -2 when changed to Cybernetic, and to 0 if Fundy is then removed

(You can check all this thru the scenario editor)

Miriam can never be SE research positive, as knowledge (giving a +2 research) is her aversion - she can't run it)

Maybe that's why my current game crashed. It was violating the rules.

I'll double-check the game tonight and post it so that seeing is believing. No pun intended.

How was it violating the rules? You had a 0, which should be fine.

Ned said he was locked at -2. Anyway, Mir might not be so smart but she is a great thief.

Sorry, mea culpa. When I got home I checked it out. It does indeed change to 0 with Cybernetic.

I must have been seeing things. Still, it would be cool if Miriam could run Fundy without the -2 research penalty.

[Mongoose]

Right. It would be cool if Morgan could run Free Market without the -5 POLICE, too.

MariOne, There is no game quite like SMACx. I really enjoy playing this game. Ned

now all we need is for you all to join to ACDG in order to secure more support of free market

Good to see some familiar names. I'll have to call here more often.

I confess to still disliking playing Miriam as well as the Aliens on random faction games.

Yeah I was over there and saw that the place is dominated by "planners" who seem to think FM is the road to catastrophe.

[Method]

mostly planneders who want to switch to green at some point...

Yes please! We lost the last poll on FM by only 3, so if we can get a few more pro-FM players involved, we'll have our revenge
