[Misotu]

2114 to the Awesome Academician ...

[mark13]

2114 to the Scheming Scientist

[Misotu]

2115 to the Triumphing Technologist ...

[mark13]

2114 to the Phabulous Physicist. (Yep, after all of 30 seconds of thought, this was the best I could manage )

[Misotu]

2116 to the Rigorous Researcher ... (first one to crack has to give the other a tech. Gotta find a way to catch you up somehow )

[Misotu]

All right. I give up 2117 to the Mark13 ...

[mark13]

Heh. I knew there was a reason I didn't have time to post

[Misotu]

Very cunning, Provost. Watch out for those worms 2118 back to you ...

[mark13]

Funny you should mention that. I didn't think it was possible to get four from the same pod this early in proceedings

[Misotu]

Worm coincidence - call me psychic

Well I may be behind on practically every sodding measure, but in MY2118 the Merchant Exchange is mine, all mine, mwa haha ha ha

Now. What to do about the rest of it?

2119 sent.

'19 back....having missed the ME, we are down

Trying to work out how exactly you get an SP within 18 turns of the start of a game....and a still at a loss....

Oh well....there are more important things in life I suppose....like winning

[Misotu]

Oh, it's easy to build an SP in the first 18 turns (she says, hah!).

All you do is scupper your pop growth, build almost no pods, formers, facilities or anything else useful, ignore Cent Eco until after Ind Auto and throw everything you have at it. Then you end up behind on every other measure but at least you get to see a video

Remains to be seen whether it'll pay off ... bit of a gambit but it's a good SP for this particular set-up so I thought I'd give it a whirl and see what happened .... It probably means that you take the next 2 or 3 best SPs is what I reckon.

2120 sent.

[mark13]

Well, it makes things interesting, anyway - you are now ahead on the power graph, at any rate

2120 to Misotu.

[Misotu]

Hah! The mind worms come and they fall before my very green scouts

You're ahead on *tech*, wealth & territory. I've been watching the pop stats, you definitely have more bases than I do ...

2121 to Mark.

[mark13]

The ME should sort that out soon enough - in any case, you can always build a few more bases.

2121 to Misotu.
