42 -> Mis
CEO Buddha frowns after a bad year. Early on in the year Provost Paul decided to not trade technologies his Planetary Economics files for Morganite Optical computers files. As Buddha said "I just don't get it, it was a fair trade! How could a researcher not want a tech that is important to discovering nuclear fusion!"
Morgan Industries desperatley needs this tech or its growth is threatening to halt. Without being able to learn the virtues of being ascetic Morganites need more than 2 times as much space in their habitation complexes as, say, a Peacekeeper. Without this the population of Buddha's corporation with stagnate. However Paul decided to withhold it in a very unfriendly gesture.
And to make matters worse a colony pod that was heading north opened a unity pod that turned out to be a nest of 6 mind worms. CEO Buddha frowns at the cost of upgrading units to fight this annoyance.
----Disclaimer----
CEO Buddha and Morgan Industries by no means wishes to declare vendetta on Provost Paul and his University faction.

Turn to Mis
I will be honest with ya'all- I was trying to corner the market. Unfortunatley the cost jumped from about 2500 to 3600 in 1 turn. I can't keep up when the costs rise like that. I am going back to regular 50/50.

Grr.. Too bad this is SMAC and not SMACX. Say goodbye to being anywere near the front.. citizens of Morganland.
I was at about +450 credits a turn... it would have been only 3-4 more turns before the cost jumped. It would be quite a strain on me to have to run at SE like that for more than 5-6 years, after that jump it would have been more like 8-12 years, perhaps even more. You would have figured it out eventually, and since it takes 20 years to corner the market I am NOT prepared to fight both of you in a TOTAL WAR for the 20 years plus whatever when you did figure it out. This map... is too close for comfort. That is also why I started building garrisions, in anticipation of the coming waves of invaders. But having my entire empire deprived of tech and cash for such a huge period of time would put me behind.. too much of a gamble for me.
I had a good chance at winning though.. until that cost just jumped. I guess I thought you two would figure it out anyway, kinda pleased with my own deviousness 
Blah not being able to pop boom is not feeling nice right now.. especially on a map where I can not ICS very easily. I have opened 2 pods containing 6 worms each in the past 10 years or so, Mis is outexpanding me like crazy, my prospects of actually doing anything this game are pretty low 
Now I almost wished that I had not told you.. I really assumed that you knew I was on my way to market cornering. By the way does anyone here know when the other players get the actual message that the market is about to be cornered? I have never had it happen to me... is it like 10 years after it is initiated?
