I have too many bases.. I have about 1/4 of my population as drones. I've tried getting my psych up as high as 30% and it doesn't help. I'm losing too much production and my rec commons are building slow cuz of the low production (except for a few bases). That and I am the only one not able to build crawlers. Games far from over I suppose... but I'm going to start falling in the standings.

Well, my cash flow is finally starting to exist... and if I can get wealth going, the virtual world is probably 3 years away.. just about the time I finish all the rec commons, heh.

Turn is back off to Tau...

Reports today accross University Island was that the Provost was incredibly upbeat after finalizing dealings with the Morganites today. "Negotiations were tough, as they always are when you are haggling with the best and brightest economic minds on the planet, but we are pleased to say it looks like we have finalized negotiations with Tau and his followers to have a full Pact with their empire."

It is reported that the Provost was much more upbeat after tech trading than he thought he'd be. "The benefits of wealth are so great its hard to imagine turning away from them. That is, at least until we figure out how best to utilize our _knowledge_ of research facilities on this planet.

All was quiet in Cyberland today. The people are becoming restless as our cities grow and expansion is still very slow. With confirmation of the alien presence to the south of our island, Cybergenerals made urgent representations for garrison units across the land, and particularly along the south coast.

In a recent meeting, the Morgan Industries board of directors decided to issue shares to all Morganic citizens, starting a new 'corporate democracy'. The general assembly was held yesterday, and CEO Tau Ceti won the vote of confidence by an overwhelming margin.

It is also rumoured that Morgan Industries intends to increase its research effort, possibly at the expense of industrial production and a reduction in profits. No official comments were available today.

Chiron Eyewitness News Report
Alpha Prime HQ was the scene of frenzied activity today, as key Functions were summoned to the Prime Function's state chambers.

The Prime Function is said to be furious at the lack of cohesion in Cybernetic strategy.

It is certainly true that the "Expansion Drive" was a miserable failure after half the island was covered in fungus. The subsequent "Breeding Drive" never seemed to get off the ground, since young Borgs prefer astrophysics to sex as a recreational activity. The current "Research Drive" has been assessed as a partial success, but it is clear that it cannot be sustained at current levels for long.

"OK, so we're having a little trouble working out which way to go" commented one Function. "Is it the end of Planet? Personally, I liked the idea of switching strategies every few turns. Kept things interesting."

The Prime Research Function, who is rumoured to be heading for obscurity in the coming reshuffle, refused to comment on the current situation, saying only "Don't blame me, I wanted to join the UoP. How am I supposed to work without a full complement of nodes?"

Attending meetings in person is almost unheard of in Cyberland, where functions meet on the net constantly. Critics of the current leadership suggest that the Prime Function has had difficulty throwing crockery via the net.

Yes ... the tech research rate is ridiculously fast. It's actually a pain - can't afford to let my research rate fall because you guys are really motoring, but my infrastructure just can't catch up enough to do anything sensible with all this stuff that's available ...

I've played this game pretty badly I'm afraid

Ah, we all suffer from classic paranoia. Regardless of the actual game situation, we expect the others to zoom past any time. Misotu's research comment is interesting; I am running Knowledge instead of wealth just to keep my research rate up at your levels! And your infrastructure is pretty good - you are the only one to have Tree Farms built, and are average in everything else. Tig's is of course the best with all the free Nodes.

Sorry this is so late - I have been busy the last few days...
