MY 2109 to Qantaga (No credits attached )

The Morganites would take a very dim view of any UN sponsored "social program" that would require the reapportionment of our currently meager profits. The only possible outcome of such a transaction would be to weaken our already precarious financial position. These so called "less fortunate" people obviously have no idea how to handle what they have. How can we expect them to be fiscally responsible if we just hand over to them our hard won credits? If they truely want to rise above their current situation, let them follow my sterling example of ficundary prowess. They can read all of my secrets (Well, most, anyway. You cant just go about sharing ALL of your secrets, now can you ) in the recently published holo-novel "CEO Deimos's Secrets to Financial Freedom". This fine work is available from your local reseller, for the low, low price of 19 centi-credits.

Turn 2110 to ColDark

And my score is 5

MY 2110 to Deimos, my score, oops I forgot to check (but no doubt is miserable). Will check beginning of next turn.

Surely Deimos, the best way forward for us all is to work and advance hand in hand. Isolationist ideals can only do harm to your faction, as those around you prosper by sharing.

Brother ColDark.

I too forgot to check my score. Next turn hopefully.


There's no need to go crying "Isolationist" in my direction. I am all for an equitable trading relationship. Everyone profits (especially me ) in such an arrangement. What I am opposed to is a Robin Hood style relationship. I never could understand that guy....robbing from the rich, giving to the poor. The fool should have kept the profits and invested in a good trading venture, like Morgan Transportation for example. They need some new VC, what with them not having anyone to transport goods to and all.

As far as score goes, I did look at mine and it is not good. I have a score of 0. Now, I am quite sure that is an error. I do have citizens and I do have (and have discovered) technologies, so I am not sure why I have a score of 0. At first, I thought it was a factor of this being a Random map and the fact that the power grid will not activate until 2120. So, I thought maybe I would not see a score until 2120. However, since SITS was able to get a score, I am not sure what is going on.

I will keep an eye out for the next few turns, but if this score holds up, it is quite certain that I will be occupying the bottom rung of the Ratings Ladder for some time to come.

Turn 2111 to ColDark

[ColDark]

Turn 2111 to Deimos.

My score, as anticipated, was miserable, a lowly 0. Strange, I would have expected more, but nevertheless 0 it is.

Deimos, I am not crying isolationist, I appreciate that you are not so stubborn or arrogant to think that you could "go it alone". I just wish that when you meet up with other factions, you will help to further all of our development on this new world of ours, and not seek to race ahead without sharing new knowledge.

(just getting in character, you understand )

Brother ColDark.

ColDark,

I have not yet received the turn. Please resend to deimos_00@usa.net .

Thanks!

[ColDark]

Turn just resent.

MY 2111 to Qantaga

The only thing I want to race ahead in is profits, and one of the finest ways to generate profit is to _trade_. Can't do that alone, now can I? Now what kind of businessman would I be if I went arround knocking off my customers? No, you don't have anything to fear from me. Unless you start cutting into my profit margins, that is (Staying in character. Been there for some time. )

As far as my score goes, I too have an amazingly high score of 0. Don't understand that at all.

Very strange indeed. Three scores of 0 and one of 5. Well, we know that all three of us can't have legit scores of 0. Not sure why SITS has 5, but I still think the rest of us might not get our scores until 2120 when the power grids appear.

[SITS]

Turn 2112 to ColDark

Not sure why the 0 scores. I've had 5 and even a 10 after the first ten years in other games

[ColDark]

MY 2112 to Deimos of the Morganites.

Live Long and Prosper Deimos (I'm sure you will prosper )

Brother ColDark out.

[Deimos]

MY 2112 to Qantaga

Prospering away! Projected increase of annual year over year profits of 100% next year. Can't do much better than that
