2229.
Finished the Planetary Energy Grid - I had a lot of Energy Banks already, but I sold a lot of them back and don't have to pay expenses on them any more; plus the free ones in new bases and the ones that didn't have them yet.
Knowhow2, you should probably wait until after you get Photon/Wave from me before you accept Monopole Magnets from Darius. I think it should happen in 2231, on the same turn from your perspective (although Darius will finish it in the MY before, but after our turns), so you just need to pass on Darius' negotiation if it comes up before mine (if mine comes up first, no problem). If Darius and I are both good boys  , we will tell you in our negotiation notes, as well as in the thread, what we changed our research to. Assuming Darius is playing along with the idea of getting Super Tensile, he and I will attempt to research Probability Mechanics and NanoMiniaturization; you can try to research one of those if we can't. If we can, you could also research the NanoMiniaturization, as that part of the path has an extra tech NanoMetallurgy, before Matter Compression, or you could duplicate Darius's tech because his rate is a lot less than ours, whichever you think more efficient (if you want to think about it  ).
Darius, I gave you the ec's for the Aerospace Complex at Psi Consensus; didn't see any bad stuff by the Spartans for a change, but I don't have any more units on your north shore either.
Didn't see your post until I had already moved, but didn't matter. Re knocking out the PB, the missile at Psi Consensus is for softening up the defenders, perhaps I'll bring over another one (or maybe I can reach The Hive with a missile from my mainland). I brought a fresh chopper over to Psi Consensus from Pi Complex, but it got shortstopped by knowhow2's base in between  - I should have guided it rather than just dragged and dropped - I don't think that base is close enough to the Hive to hit the PB and return, but maybe? Anyway, don't do anything too dangerous with your chopper to get it injured and let me know if you can handle a missile or two with your SE settings without too many drones, in case it works better for you to do the whole attack. I can always send some missiles to your punishment spheres, and give them to you there assuming that you have some (and make it easy by telling me where they are).
So what is the verdict on me going Thought Control?

Interesting, I'm now in NY and didn't have any trouble getting onto Poly - the last few turns I wasn't able to connect - you guys were apparently able to connect during that time. It seems like they fiddled with the Routing/DNS settings, maybe my machine had locked into the old numbers. I had been leaving it on all the time, so maybe it never tried to re-lookup Poly's address??? I guess we'll see when I get back to DC.
Darius, the former on my mainland in the NW should do a Borehole @ (40,20) = looks like you might be heading there anyway.
You guys should try to research NanoMetalurgy when knowhow2 finishes the ProbMech (otherwise duplicate my research of NanoMiniaturization as a stall - I am reasonably convinced of the theory that withheld techs are offered the next time - 2 out of 3 overall).
I'm slowly advancing on Santi's territory, she isn't putting up much redsistance, but it is taking me a while to build enough units to occupy her bases. Hopefully Yang will mind his own business and not start lobbing missiles at me there. I thought that I might just be able to buy all her bases, thus getting the garrisons already there, but the 2nd one was going to cost 2000 ec, so I guess I can only afford small bases.

I'm working on Matter Compression - 2241.
I had a probe over there in Eastern Yangland and I couldn't resist mind controlling the "Labor Network" base, just north of Knowhow2's ex Yang holdings; All it took was a few fancy cars and flat panel TV's and a very big box of cheap cigars (somebody stole my Rec Common though!). It was not necessarily a great idea in that I forgot that my probe would go back to one of my bases and that all the Yang bad boys that came with the base turned into green or very green Morgan wimps (I guess Yang didn't build them with Control and Bioenhancement Centers and monoliths  ). I did at least "convert" 5 of his hoard (more than 10% of his land army), taking them out of circulation, which is 5 less for us to kill, although they all seem to think that what we do all day is sit around our swimming pools on piles of money and drink champagne (I thought that was supposed to be a secret - have one of you guys been fraternizing with the enemy?).
So anyway knowhow2, I'm your new neighbor over there  , so please don't shoot me by mistake. Better yet, maybe you can knock off some of those evil Yangsters who look like they want to bully my poor defenseless POWs while they're (hopefully) learning a useful trade. I sent a few choppers over there, but they won't get there until next turn and they will be a bit tired from their trip.
I initiated a vote on the Global Trade Pact; I didn't offer it for discussion since it seems to be a no brainer for us as the AIs have very little commerce and we have lots of it (now we will have 2*lots). Vote is Yang, Santi: No; Aki, Me: Yes; Zak N/A for 2 to 2; hopefully you'all will make it 4 to 2 in favor.
Knowhow2, I'm working on the Ascetic Virtues too; I think I need it more than you do (I've got about 20 bases whose pop is maxed out which could grow by two each just about right away with the AV), but if you have a case for it, I'll listen.

) Let me know.
Researched NanoMiniaturization, was offered Unified Field and Planetary Economics (Hybrid Forests) and went with the latter and gave the Nano to each of you. I would suggest that at least knowhow2 also research the Planetary Economics, so that when he gets it (and gives it to me) we can both research Matter Compression on the way to Super Tensile Solids. Both Unified and Plan-Econ are getting us closer to Quantum Power, 'which will make our forces practically invincible'.
