Yep, that's the one. Let's repeal the Charter and together we can rule the world!

[Misotu]

It will be my first task once I am elected Leader   

[Kirov]

Sister, you're a blessing to this Planet. If only I could trust your words!

[Misotu]

But you can, dear Brother, you can. It's a well-known fact that the only thing a builder likes better than a bunch of recon rovers arriving on her doorstep in 2115 is repealing the Charter. 

[Kirov]

It's a little-known fact that repealing the Charter actually does wonders to environment protection. It's true. The Planet doesn't mind any ecological side effects of atrocities if they are committed without the Charter in place. We don't want to repeat the mistakes of the Old World, now do we?

[Misotu]

In haste - we are going out. But it's good to know that we can save Planet. I will ponder ...

[Kirov]

Unbelievable. Did Yitzi tweak something with eco-damage? I got a streak 5-6 fungal pops within under a dozen turns at a base with ca 13 eco-d. I'm at 5 eco-d now and if I get another pop next turn, someone's gotta pay.

[Misotu]

Yes, I am getting serious ecodamage in one base with a very modest mineral intake. Weird. Nothing much to report, other than blind research gave me the wrong colour again. Given that I don't want to disgrace myself I am *trying* to play to what I'm given.

It's difficult   

[Kirov]

I haven't got the blind research figured out, but I think that you've got higher chance for 'your' colour if you change it from tech to tech. As in, keeping one colour on all the time will net you a more or less even distribution. I have no idea if I'm right so let's share any info we observe in this area.

[Misotu]

Sorry, I had a lot of trouble downloading this turn and then when I loaded it it was doing weird stuff - 6 mins per row which is just not right. So I don't know how it will show up but if it says 5 reloads that wouldn't be wrong.

In the end I had to play the turn without Yitzi's patch, just to get it to behave. Probably my connection. Apologies. I was on a winning streak, reload-wise, for a while there 

Anyway, popped an IoD which is probably going to lurk, as they do, in a *very* inconvenient location   

[Misotu]

On the blind research, I think watching the AI in SP games is a good indication. Miriam always seems to get air very early - Morgan seems to get to tree farms quite quickly.

I change my priorities pretty much every time I get the tech I want but possibly I should just stick with the settings that are in the general area! Several times now I've been given the completely different colour despite having two choices of priority a lot of the time. With one choice I seem to be certain not to get the one I want!

Perhaps it's this one game ... I will invoke the Lord's assistance. Again. 

[Kirov]

Strangely, there was only one reload message. No worries with that.

My turns got considerably shorter after I lost most of my ships to IoDs. But I don't complain, because now I have nerve gas pods. Ho-ho-ho.

[Misotu]

Well both the IoD and the mindworm passenger attacked - but my tough little 3res defender held them off for 90% damage. Hoorah!

I would've been in serious trouble otherwise ...

Edited to add: Nerve gas is *definitely* not the way of The Lord. Consider well, Brother Kirov. Consider well.

[Kirov]

Sister, I uphold the same official version you do, but deep down we both know that there is no person in the world who wouldn't think that nerve gas is just rad. Except for this little detail, I support you 100%.

[Kirov]

If you're still here, I can push 1-2 turns and go to bed.
