Factional Intermezzo, M.Y. 2126

CEO Rubin Personal Diary, M.Y. 2126:
Succeeding the recent University discovery of the Secrets of the Human Brain our scientists have pondered upon the aspects of this important breakthrough. While chemistry--including biology--is easy to comprehend, comprehension of perception itself is a different matter all together. The processes of stimuli and responds--and the mapping of the delicate workings of the human brain--were expectedly researched, of course. However, to fully understand the perception--to which these discoveries are nescessarily deeply connected--requires a complete tanscendence into a novel scientific paradigm... to understand understanding itself while still being able to communicate the findings! The vicious and regressive loop that lies within this scientific strategy is, well... disturbing.

In a public speach Doctor Xan of the Rubinic philosophical and psychological nexus playfully inquired if the Provost was able to express the secrets he unveiled. Of course, the Provost might need more time to speculate on this matter.

Meanwhile, Rubinic scientists have discovered the Secrets of the Fallible Mind. The findings have been discussed in a subsequent treatise aptly named Transcendent Semantics: "This sentence is false!"

Turn 2126 passed to the Peacekeepers.

2127 to Gaians

2127 to the University.

Rubin, was that an announcement that the University has discovered "Secrets"? I have yet to see any announcements of anything.

[jtsisyoda]

In my limited PBEM experience, it seems a lot of announcements are given only to one player. I did discover Secrets of the Human Brain.

Also, I've emailed Chip asking for a resend... I received the Gaian 2127 instead of Uni 2127.

[Chip_Buckner]

Yesterday, evidently, was not my day.
Yes, I see jtsisyoda's announcement higher in the forum. Yes, I did send the wrong turn. Yes, I have sent the correct one.

I have another (albeit short) Boy Scout weekend coming up. I will be leaving town late Friday afternoon and returning late Saturday morning. I expect to miss the Friday evening turn and be late with the Saturday morning turn.

[Rubin]

Turn 2127 passed to President Net Warrior.

Now, we only need to see a customized University leader.

[Net Warrior]

2128 to Gaians

[Chip_Buckner]

... and on to the University.

[jtsisyoda]

2128 to "Rubinstein"? Famous chess grandmaster.

How do you customize the faction leader name?

The University has begun construction of the Human Genome Project.
1. I'm remembering not to upgrade crawlers.
2. In the future, I'm not necessarily going to give notification... you'll have to check F5.
