Darn. I opened this thread yesterday and saw the turn, but forgot about it thereafter. 
Btw, has mart7x5 been notified Archaic has played this turn? AFAIK it wasn't really clear if him replacing Archaic was temporary or permanent, so who knows he feels pissed off now. 
Anyway, now I've opened the turn.
There's a serious matter I'd like to mention. Hobbes has contacted me this year, claiming he has obtained my comm frequency from Drogue (in fact it's MrWhereItsAt of course - why don't you change your name in-game?). However I have not yet met MWIA. In the commlink menu I do have his commlink and have a truce with him, already from the beginning of the game in fact. So while setting up this game, Darsnan probably made a mistake and gave MWIA all the faction's comm frequencies. I assumed MWIA would not make use of this error and not conduct dipomacy before in-game contact, but apparently he has (I guess he didn't realize this was an error) judging from this turn. This of course totally screws up the game, especially if MWIA has already conducted several trades with other factions...
Another problem of this game is that Darsnan probably forgot to "force current difficulty level". As a consequence the player first in row will play on Transcend level, but all others have Librarian benefits when it comes to SE switching costs and number of drones. (Check this by trying to change your SE settings - the costs won't be 40. Also most of you won't have any drones in size 2-or-higher bases.) This is good for the rest of us, but pretty bad for the one among us who's playing on Transcend (GT?).
(A third minor item is that Darsnan forgot to set rovers to prototyped for me. IIRC normally one never has to prototype that.)
Because of all these problems, I'm wondering if we shouldn't either:
a) Simply stop the game. (It's moving terribly slow anyway.)
b) Do some sort of restart with the current game position, but edited so all previously conducted illegal trades are undone. One problem would be though that if I now suddenly switch to Transcend difficulty level, a couple size 3 bases of me would suddenly start rioting.

Drogue took over from ME. I will find the link if no-one believes me.
