2104 to Rubin.

[Rubin]

And our ship was high upon the sea when pirates came along
But the soldiers on our convict ship were full five hundred strong
For they opened fire and somehow drove that pirate ship away
But I'd rather have joined that pirate ship than gone to Botany Bay

Energy re-allocated and 2104 passed to jtsisyoda.

I'll second that. By the way, change the year when you send the turn to me. The next turn you should send to me is 2106.


2105 to Rubin.

[Rubin]

With the storms ragin' round us and the winds a-blowin' gale
I'd rather have drowned in misery than gone to New South Wales
There's no time for mischief there, they say: remember that, says they
Or they'll flog the poaching out of you down there in Botany Bay

Turn 2105 passed to jtsisyoda.

Rubin, AFAIK, the Drones get the same treatment as Miriam w/r research, notably the 10 year drought (I suspect that the Miriam routine in the program keys on the Research setting); given the other human factions in this game, you will definitely be off to a relatively stone age start. OTOH, the Drones do have their endearing qualities in other areas (in some of which, as it happens, the other humans are themselves in fact disadvantaged - i.e. the Uni's in drone control and the CyCon in industry). Edit: Now I see that MM has already addressed the Drone research thing; I guess I should have read the thread more closely. As far as good looks goes, it's still no joy for the Drones, although at least you don't get an additional penalty; in this game I think it's definitely Santi's turf, hands down .

What's the matter with the CyCon's industry? I thought growth is where they are lacking.

You're right MM, there is nothing wrong with the CyCon's Industry rating, my bad - I've been playing them with 'Power' in another game (don't ask) and there is definitely something wrong with my industry in that game (I must be trying to forget that it is my fault that their industry is so handicapped in that game by projecting it onto the CyCon in general instead).

2106 to Rubin.

[Rubin]

Now it's day and night and the irons clang, and like poor galley slaves
We toil and toil, and when we die must fill dishonored graves
And it's by and by I'll slip my chains, well, into the bush I'll go
And I'll join the bravest rankers there Jack Donohue and co

2106 passed to the Consciousness... This place is dangerous!

One thing I forgot to mention is that one of the AI factions discovered Secrets Of The Human Brain. I don't know if others got this notification.

Didn't receive the in-game message, so thanks MM.
