Is it, but I'd prefer to deny the AI the opportunity to get SOTHB first if at all possible. A free tech. is nothing to be sneezed at.

Right now though I'd be more concerned about your system. That zip you sent me has a virus of some sort. Hotmail wouldn't even let me download the attachment because of it.

Good enough-- I have often pondered the value of the extra tech as against being a bit slower obtaining other techs. I never fully satisfied myself which way was best. Whatever you folks see as the best route, go for it, but IMHO getting crawlers as fast as possible is a huge advantage

Don't know what to say on this. I updated Norton antivrus on my machine and found nothing wrong with this file. I left the machine doing a complete virus check when I had to come to work.

I emailed the same turn to myself from my yahoo address to my hotmail address and downloaded the turn using hotmail. The anti-virus program in hotmail allowed the turn to download, no problem.

We are left with a couple of options

1. I have a virus but for some reason it is undetectible to all my anti-virus stuff or
2. Archaic's anti-virus stuff gave a "false" positive due to some non-virus problems in transmission, in hotmail or whatever


I think it is likely a false positive since my hotmail screening should be identical to his hotmail screening and mine was clean. But I am very concerned about the possibility of spreading any virus so I will run that file through the (very good and constantly updated) anti-virus stuff here at work before sending it on.

hey

ran two more anti-virus tests and all came back clean. I do not know any more ways for me to test this so

Flubber and I are in other games together. I have run another game file through two anti-virus screeners on my machine and there is no indication of a virus, so I would also guess that it is a "false positive".

MY 2117 sent to Q.

Not sure where we left the discussion of SoTHB vs. Ind. Auto. To be safe, I sent Archaic Ind Econ. If you want to stick with Brain, Provost, don't accept...I'll remove it next turn and we'll still have time (just) for you to send me Biogenetics before I discover it on the following turn.

I just had another thought. If you want to go for Brain, Archaic, you could send me both planetnets and biogenetics...perhaps I'll get IndAuto as an option.

And another...iif you do go for Brain, it only makes sense that we all give you all our techs before you get it. We wouldn't want to waste the free tech on one we collectively already knew. Hmmm, I play directed research rarely and I almost never get Brain first. In these circumstances, will you get an option for which is the free tech? If so, maybe we don't have to load you up with all our collelctive techs. Anybody know?

2118 to Mongoose.

I was planning on exactly that.

I'd get the same options as if I was researching a new tech, so I'd likely be rather limited on my choices. If I have a tech of course, I won't be presented with it as an option, so loading me up with the collective techs (But only once I've started actually researching SoTHB) would be the most effecient and safest way. I'd of course be gifting whatever I did end up getting to everyone else, and put us all on an even keel in the tech. tree.

[Flubber]

and don't forget to send me planetary networks as soon as it is obtained

I will also take ind auto ASAP but as for the rest, I will not want them yet.

MY 2118 to Q.

Flubber, hit a pod for cash? I give the poor guy 30 ec to just cover his SE change...turn around and he has more money than I do! What's wrong with this picture? j/k

PS. It would be kind of funny if Marr has already beaten us to SotHB.

[Archaic]

Already sent to you Flubber.

From the way fungboy was harassing me for Biogenetics and the fact he starts with Social Psych, I'd say no one's got SoTHB just yet.

I did hit a pod and got cash-- I can return your 30 ec if you wish
