The problem with utopia's is that they all require everyone share the same philosphy - may work possibly in small communities, but once the population grows you are more likely to get opposing views (its just human nature...and statistics), hence dissention and a society that is no longer perfect.
Looks like some more issues of University Underground are in the works, but then Zak does have his drone problems...

Okay, is Christine playing Planetmind or Lightning? or whatever? Or the Gaians or the Cult?
If planetmind, she can't go to the Ruins, Gaians have bases in that area and if Gaians or cult, than will have to establish techs first and see if they even able to acquire Isle of the Deep, and they would need to cross Pirate waters to get to Morgan.

I don't think the Cyborgs should be trying to contact me with so little tech researched about Planetmind. In the game that took place a long time into the future.

Well, in my defence, I am researching centauri empathy, and the attempts at communication are clearly experiments that may or may not succeed, that follow quite a simple logic.
Plus, how can we not be trying to communicate when we are being put into the position where we HAVE to try to understand this entity, or risk being wormraped like the Morgans? Plus, in the game planet doesn't engage in any diplomacy, and only contacts very rarely. We have clearly broken off on a tangent to the game. Christantine, if you're not going to play planet like from the game, I don't see how you can expect us to react like in the game.
Until a moderator says otherwise, I feel I am completely justified in what I am doing. In fact,I am surprised no one else is trying to do the same considering what a big role planetmind is currently making for itself.

About democracy in the game. Considering that the rulebook states that a citizen/worker represents only about one thousand people then the early bases didn't really need democarcy.
Imagine this, you have just arrived on a strange planet you know nothing about, and you pretty much know everyone you live with. There is little need for a formal democracy, but rather a strong individual leader to unite everyone and create the beginings of a new civilisation.
Once the popualtion starts to grow a bit then you start to need more formal/representative means of governance. Hence democracy is introduced at the same time as childrens creches, at the time when you expect your population to start to take off.
We seem to have inflated populations (I'm really not sure what the actual system is we are using for population, which is why my faction stats haven't listed them in the admin thread) so I guess there is a call for more complex governments earlier.

As for me, i rather wait for the pirates to acquire the proper tech before considering Democracy or any form of government.
For the pirates, aslong Svensgaard keeps the faction happy, let them be themselves, no oppression, freedom and so on, he will stay in office. He is leader of a pirate nation :P and no other have yet challenge him for his position. I was hoping to the pirates to start out in pirating other faction ships and trade routes, but won't really see that at the moment. I atleast stole a ship from the hive

"Perhaps Zakharov is just full of air, or this trial could drag on a long, long, long, long time"

-Dr. Sergei Inkothob of the Data Angels commenting on Zakharovs idea to implement democracy in the University, voicing his concern that either he (Is just bluffing his idea, attempting to gater support; or he is counting on the trial taking a long time and the people forgetting)
What I belive is, that with a population near 200,000 Zakharov is nearly ready for a Democracy; 'he also believes that the other factions will make the Cyborgs with their 150-200,000 join him.'
Plus, he has been working on a project for cloning 'all previous data was lost due to ethical concerns', and genetic engineering to create humans from scratch.
These are ways he intends to increase his population count above and beyond the other factions;
Rocky Crag is hidden and took the research; so in say 5-10 years a breakthrough may be made there or in University Base and, barring a war, University population will explode.

Besides, how does a base get 10,000 people in a few years? maybe humanity evolved where children grow up faster, females stay pregnant for shorter time and so on. Hey, Humanity did discover the Longivity Vaccine back on earth before laucnhing Unity, what other simple genetic alterations they can do?
So far, the basics of alpha centauri universe is being altered the more this game goes on, especially with the mind worms and the story of earth nuked by a insane U.N. official. :P
way i increase my bases pops is that the one with most pop gain pop quicker, more people to multiple. bases with low pop take more time to gain pop. and so on.

Good post TheDiplomat! - the log of the hive prisoner.
I like the description of the monolith effects and great atmosphere to the approaching attack - I'm hoping he escapes.

I was just wondering if Lal is going to call a planetary council meeting. He does have all active commlinks. (BTW: can planetmind have a voice in the council in the future or will it go through Lal?)
