Rules: All as standard, except:
I don't know whether Co-op victory is enabled...
And we can begin inter-factional contact in 2101.
So bring out your tech trees, everyone!
(Do we have a taker for the Gaians?)

I -did- make a map for this game, but it doesn't seem so useful now.
It's attached down there.

Yay! Someone picked The Believers, a somewhat underrated faction, IMO. That should really make this game interesting. It is nice to have a mix of builder, hybrid, and momentum factions like we do here. You really get to see a wide variety of play styles and techniques.

Unless someone asks me otherwise, I'm posting my turn in the turn thread.
...
Now do I get the turn from Colonyan, or do we play on from the land-bridges map I made?

All right, it's been 24 hours.
I've made:
An islands map with lots of bridges
A map with a single continent
Which would you rather play on?
...if I get that turn from Colonyan, we play his game...

Never mind - since it was less than 6 hours, the file was still in the trash.
Okay guys - it looks like we're playing on
BLIND RESEARCH
As far as the other settings, our CMN hasn't even divulged what settings we're using,
instantly putting himself at an unfair advantage.
What settings are we using?

You -are- aware that one's PBEM settings are preserved from one narrated game to the next, aren't you?
*sigh*

CMN hasn't even divulged what settings we're using,
instantly putting himself at an unfair advantage.

I can play blind and I can play non-blind.
It's better if I do Directed Research, because then a massive tech-trade plan can come into effect.
I've already done a first turn.
The game settings are:
Victories allowed:
Conquest
Diplomatic
Economic
Transcendence
Do or Die is on
Bell curve is on
Randomise leader personalities//social agendas is on
Standard//50-70//Average//Average//Average//Thinker
Communications lines are completely open at game start.
So, propose your pacts and share your tech!
------
On this note:
My first tech was Centauri Ecology.
I know this is valuable to you all, so I'll make a deal.
I'll give you this tech now,
In exchange for being able to pick a free tech later.
Here's how I look at things:
The IA beeline will be Colonyan's duty.
I'll give him CentEco now, and PlaNets when he researches IndEcon
In exchange, he gives me Industrial Automation when it's ready.
DetriusXii has a useful starting tech.
I'll give DetriusXii CentEco now.
In exchange, he gives Zeiter Social Psych.
Zeiter and I are going to tech-leap to Gene Splicing
I give DetriusXii CentEco and Social Psych now.
In exchange, he gives me Social Psych when I complete PlaNets,
and researches Ethical Calculus -almost- all the way,
He waits for me to give him Ethical Calculus.
He switches techs to Gene Splicing once I give him the tech.
Finally, he gives me Gene Splicing when it is available.
I have my first turn complete, but before I send, I need to know who's in on this deal.

The trade seems fair enough.
You should start trading techs amongst yourselves, though - this is just an initial tech path.
Oh, and be careful around those pods - Data pods are nasty to encounter.

Santiago will be mad at us for running Wealth
There's an off chance that we'll actually find an ally on the map if I scramble the personalities. |
Actually I once got a nice little quadruple alliance going with Lal, Deidre, and Zak by running demo/green/knowledge. Of course, it didn't last too long, because my pact mates soon started warring between themselves, and then accusing me of siding with the other faction, and yadda yadda yadda, you know how it goes. But it isn't impossible for pact mates with the regular faction personalities.
But I do have a question: With randomized personalities, do the AI's personalities continually switch, or do they randomize at the start of the game and then stay in that fashion. Because if they continually changed, then it would be quite difficult to keep a pact mate for long.

Zeiter: You mean you don't use Dem/Planned/Wealth?
What are the benefits?
------
One particular ISP has a monopoly for providing internet to my Dormitory. Take a look:
http://www.speedlink.com.au
My ISP went down at 5:30 pm on Friday.
The techs arrive at 9:00 am Monday.
This damn ISP:
$1030 for 20Gb
10% Downtime, 90% Uptime
1/3 of packets are lagged by at least 500ms
Tech support "aren't in right now" or "aren't available for comment" during office hours.
And of course, no-one can transfer your call to them outside those times...
And my favourite, told to me on March 22nd:
"We'll have that fixed up by mid-July."
Ed. Note: They can't buy the T3 bandwidth until they've finished being taken over - which will be by July.
They have 10 Mbit of bandwidth shared between 1000 people.
I'm starting an internet slander campaign against them.
If their share price starts falling, they'll know why.
------
We'll start this game when:
1. you boot Detrius out of it
2. Detrius says 'Yea' or 'Nay' to the trade.

Sorry. I was paying attention to the thread. But I wasn't aware that I had to respond to it. Yes I'm in agreement with the trade.
