DT8: TigToad vs Misotu

[mark13]

It always seems to be the second tech you'll discover frm a pod. IndBase, AppPhy and DocMob in that order....

Anyway, notice how yours came after EnvEcon

[Misotu]

I rarely get techs from pods. Just the one. Almost always App Physics ... Anyway, you don't know I have Env Econ. I could be following an experimental beeline here

2146 back to the populous, wealthy and territorially-advantaged one.

2147 back to the technologically-enlightened one

[Misotu]

I take it the footie has finished then, has it Mark lad? 2148 sent.

[mark13]

Greece 0-2 England - I'm in an optimistic mood tonight

[Misotu]

Yarooks! I'll refrain from too much jingoism on this board though, I think

Nice pop boom Provost. Not entirely unexpected, but we are starting to look a bit sad here ...

2149 sent

[mark13]

Ah well - our scientists are clearly no match for your enlightened lot, even if there are more of us

2149 back to Misotu.

[Misotu]

That won't last ... there's nothing quite like the VW for an early UoP pop boom, that's for sure ...

2150 back to Mark

[mark13]

Tech wins this game, not pop....

2150 to Misotu.

[Misotu]

Yeah ... but I think having less than half your pop may prove to be a drawback you know ...

I just compared this game to where I was in DT7 at the same time. And now I'm off for a quiet lie down in a darkened room.

2151 to Mark.

[mark13]

Once the ME starts to kick in, the tech will fly....I would still put myself second favourite for this, without a doubt.

2151 to Misotu.

[Misotu]

Well, all I can say is I hope you're right and I'm wrong

Landslide victory eh? Historic second term, eh? Good old Newsnight complete and unexpurgated on US TV for *hours*.

Wot joy! 2152 is sent ...

[mark13]

Absolutely. Labour get a second term, the Tories go home with their tail between their legs and the future of British politics, the Lib Dems, gain yet more votes. A dream election all round.

The future is bright

2152 to Misotu....

[Misotu]

The future may be bright, but it isn't orange. Nor yet that luverly sunshiny yellow colour of the Lib Dems. I'm afraid people have been talking about the Lib-Dems ... um ... the Social Democrats ... um ... the Liberals ... ... as the party of the future for as long as I can remember now.

It's starting to feel like science fiction. In the year 2401, Paddy Jeremy Kennedy greeted an expectant nation with the words "Go back to your constituencies. For now we *have* that victory".



In the meantime, you'll be pleased to hear that my beeline went South and I still have less than half your pop. The worms are descending, the research is stagnating and we are not in a good mood over here.

2152 to Mark

[Misotu]

A pop boom has begun in Misotu-land ... anyone suggesting that we are desperate is WRONG.

DEAD WRONG.

No, no, no ....

2154 to Mark the Powerful.
