Rubinic Report, M.Y. 2138:
New terraformer plans has been presented. For the next several years Rubinic terraforming engineers know exactly what to do. These new plans are much appreciated.

*Public Announcement, M.Y. 2138*
By the end of M.Y. 2138 Brother Lal finally reports that Chiron's second Secret Project, The Merchant Exchange, has been built at U.N. Information Agency. Immediately after its completion Brother Lal announced the initiation of a project codenamed The Virtual World.

End of Report

Turn passed to Lord Chip of the Gaians.

[With all these announcements about Lal's secret projects, we're aren't supposed to know that other factions exist yet, are we?]

2139 to Hong Hu.

No AA's here either. But contacted a semi-hostile AI. What a luck!

Gufnork · August 26, 2003, 02:55

We have Santiago, Lal and Miriam. Lal could be friendly, in the other two cases semi-hostile is a positive reaction. Maybe it's just me and women... Dee isn't that bad though, must be my animal magnetism that catches her eye.

2139 to Rubinites.

Rubin · August 26, 2003, 05:24

Rubinic Report, M.Y. 2139:
Rubinic Scouts have finally crossed the crimson fields. CEO Rubin is awaiting the new map data with anticipation. Jeneba has revealed that the Weather Paradigm actually contains parts of an alien device found within the planet itself. The origin of this artifact is still unknown. This effectively prevents the Rubinites to reproduce the project. However, Jeneba has requested more funding to Rubinic research, which has been granted.
Also, preparations are being made for the 4th Decade Report.

Official Rubinic Infomercial (excerpt): Education is important. Very important. Social and individual awareness and enlightenment form a crucial part of the basis of our society. You have the chance of joining the ranks of the highly educated Talents -- our intellectual elite. Enlist now and contribute to Rubinic prosperity.

End of Report

Turn passed to Lord Chip of the Gaians.

Chip: I, too, find it a bit conflicting, that we have access to information from factions which we still haven't encountered. I can't seem to come up with a rational explanation... Any ideas? The factions did have contact aboard the U.N.S. Unity, maybe some kind of transmitters or tracers/beepers from before planetfall?!?

Sorry for the delay. I seem to have lost that ASD of mine.

(It was found later in the hands of my sick baby.)

Just had time to read some prior posts too. As for PBEM tech trading I think there is no rule but people who would like to stick around normally are pretty honest with their words since reputation is very important in PBEM games.

2140 to Rubin. HGP too? Give us a break!

Rubin · August 27, 2003, 04:42

Rubinic Report, M.Y. 2140:
Upon the discovery of Biogenetics Jeneba presented the idea of the Human Genome Project, a research and educational complex with branches and divisions in every base. By M.Y. 2140 the project has been completed. The intellectual reserves of the less educated part of the population have been put to good use -- resulting in far better social conditions than ever before.
Unfortunately, the 4th Decade Report has been delayed due to technical problems.

End of Report

Turn 2140 complete

Turn passed to Lord Chip.

~~Gufnork: You forgot to attach the turn ... Please resend.~~

Chip_Buckner · August 27, 2003, 21:57

I don't know why I their reaction surprised me. We've all been working so hard for such a long time without any real prospect of taking a break that I should have expected the uprising. We shall have to investigate ways to promote rest, relaxation and recreation among our overworked citizenry.

GNN - 2142

Military sources today reported the discovery of a pod from the Unity spacecraft. Investigation showed the pod to contain a transportation unit beyond our current capabilities. Economists hope that the new unit will accelerate our ability to explore the planet, holding out the hope that we may discover other survivors of the Unity "landing".

Just thought of one question. In an SP game you would get a warning one turn ahead of the AI gets an SP. Do we have the warning here? Did anybody get the warning before Lal gets his ME?

Anytime you want to check on SP's that have been built/ being built, hit the F5 button on your keyboard. This will pop up a screen showing the SP's in production/ built. FYI.

Yes but it could be nice to know if it is going to be finished ahead of time. When you learn that it is already completed, it is too late.

Rubinic Report, M.Y. 2145:
As Rubinic Terraforming engineers alter the surrounding terrain, local rainfall patterns change. These changes seem to be semi-predictable, but Rubinic geo-scientists advice caution in specific terraform planning. So far, no radical changes have been reported.
