One cannot argue with PRAVDA because PRAVDA by definition is true.

just alone nameing a newspaper "Pravda" is suspicious. It is like telling to someone in a conversation that recent discoveries in the science field of mathematics formulated new addition rules and from now on 2+2=3
Really
It is the truth
two plus two is three
i tell the truth
no joking

Oh, and for anyone counting, this post makes the 3d v PRAVDA post count equal....

Excellent PRAVDA, as usual.
I only believe PRAVDA because PRAVDA is the only one that is worth believing.

You really want to know? Sigh.
I perhaps have stated this many times, but it is the quality that matters, not the quantity.

As I siad, this PRAVDA is REALLY, REALLY bad and short. And whole Hive philosophy is about quantity (industry, population growth). CPU is about quality (from there come from Research and Efficiency bonuses since we prefer quality). Unfortunately CyCon part of CPU has a growth quality since we prefer quality too much. On the other hand Hive has a growth bonus - seems that you do not value quality at all but quantity

We value both. It just so happens that your Computer parts cannot find the true value of PRAVDA....

Luckly  we can`t. Has anyone wondered why Hive has ECONOMY penalty? Because PRAVDA claims 2+2=5.

If that was the reason, I am sure they would have a -50 penalty.
