This is what it means to be a Spartan. It's not the killing or the suffering that matters. It's the purity of focus, without fear of death or pain. -
kk, i wouldn't put much stock into the who's leading what categories just yet. last turn, i had 1 pop, and the gaians had 2 pop, but it listed me as leading in pop.
i think it's usually a turn behind or so.Comment

Well... even if it's a turn behind, I START with a free tech.
So unless he popped at least two pods (unlikely) AND got a tech each (highly unlikely), then somethin's amiss...
Whats the story? ... Qantaga ?
( I don't want to sound like a cry baby here, but compared to the rest of you guy's, I would like to make sure that I have some strong suit

There is nothing amiss.
In 2103, you have two techs and t_ras has one. The game will continue to recognize t_ras as the tech leader until you get your third tech. The game does not recognize your free tech when computing the tech category "leader". That is a good thing for you because it means that free tech (for the Uni) does not count against your tech discovery rate when computing the cost of your next tech.
I am more than happy to send a copy of the game file, and all passwords, to any other veteran CMN you can think of, Googlie, Tau Ceti, or someone of your own choosing if you wish to have independent verification.Comment

Okay that makes sense to me.
Excuse me a minute ... " Ivan, please reassign Nataliya to Recycling Tank cleaning duty.
And if she squaks, tell her she can think about how she misinformed me in front of the council"
Allright, now back to my reaserch...This is what it means to be a Spartan. It's not the killing or the suffering that matters. It's the purity of focus, without fear of death or pain.Comment

No problem.
For all of you, my offer to provide independent verification was a genuine offer (not to be read as a defensive statement on my part). It would not bother me in the least if any of you ever want to seek outside advice. I do not pretend to know everything there is to know about SMAC. This is your game and I do not expect you to take my word as gospel on anything.
Please let me know if anything pops up that looks amiss.Comment

ok. that's why it's a good idea to post here on the turn tracking thread every time you send it.
we had this problem a lot in my other games, till we made it a rule to post every time a turn was sent. then if the person didn't recieve the turn, they could ask for a resend.
we should do the same here.Last edited by smhfan86; May 3, 2002, 15:11.Comment

From The Telescope At Kopernisk Observatory
Ivan : " Provost ! Come and see. The Peace Keepers and Hive both bare the same face ! "
Zakharov : " Yess... You are correct, Ivan. They both pretend to be thinkers.
Ivan : " Why should they masquerade as such ? "
Zakharov : " An obvious attempt at trying to establish themselves on our good side, Ivan. However... I shall consult the datalinks for more information... (I wonder if this is perchance the begining of a conspiracy ?... ) ... ?!? ... ( Bah! Let them play their childish pranks, back to my research...)This is what it means to be a Spartan.
