The Frontier party seems like the one to back to me, if we have to back one. I'd prefer to stay out of endorsing either side though.
As for the reporter, I'm fairly glad we didn't off him. Honestly, given that we apparently outtalked him in the past we might just want to do that again, especially if we can get any information on how he's planning to come at us or what dirt he thinks he has on us.

Your first potato harvest is in and the results are... potatoes. For everyone. With next month's supply growing just as well as the first, your people are keenly looking forward to ending the months-long rumbling of their bellies and reversing their nigh skeletal status through the elimination of rationing. All it requires is your word.
Your light ore refinery has begun churning out processed metals at a delightful rate and your mines are expanded to provide a good income of resources for your colony. The only thing lacking is proper acommodations for all. Your people are pretty much clamouring to be set free of the passenger module in your cargo hold and you can't say you fully disagree with them. That thing was only meant for temporary jaunts between systems, not for long term habitation. It'll last for a while yet but the thin walls are beginning to drive some of your colonists a bit batty.
In other news, a journalist has come to your attention via the Blue Rose who seems to have it in for you. Dealing with them is going to be tricky and a small part of you honestly wishes you'd passed it off to the Blue Rose... but you don't know who they are or what their agenda is, and it's not in your nature to put your future in the hands of others. You've sparred with this journalist before and completely trounced them in the past, so hopefully history will repeat.

You don't have any time to spare. Every day you work yourself to the bone. Every night you fall asleep dead tired. Your parents built the colony you grew up in, and now you know just how much hard work that is. Lately you've been having some rather severe nightmares. It's not affecting your work so far, but you're definitely getting less sleep.

Re: Outcast Quest
Hmm...
I wouldn't eliminate rationing just yet for two reasons: First the numbers don't add up just yet, second a surplus is needed as a safety net.
I would put the rationing onto two meals per day until the numbers fully add up, which will happen once the Yeast comes out.
So:
Free action write in [X]: rationing to 2 meals a day, which should put us somewhere less than 400 consumption per month (which is where my 400 harvest idea came from).
Diplomacy:
Slightly torn between improving relations and the common folk.
First of all, debate moderator should be picked after the issue with the reporter is resolved, it should make things easier imho.
Improving relations does provide an unknown benefit while the common folk just boosts the populace opinion which is very good already.
So [X] Improve relations with Loroi, I want to see what the bonus is and it's a 90% chance of success.
Stewardship:
Breaking my RU focused headplanning planning in order to expedite matters in other areas:
Turn 4: Habitat + Altitude thrusters
Turn 5: Mine + Stabilization thrusters
Turn 6: Mine + Stabilization thrusters
Turn 7: Clinic + Yeast (with one of the two pushed down in case of Stabilization issues)
This way our RU income is actually enhanced and we secure the infrastructure by turn 9. Not only that, we can easily afford a double down on stabilization thrusters without crippling our economy:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
@ Razor: I think a way to make a vote on double down is this: Whenever a building has two turns and more add a free action on the second turn of construction about the double down or double time.
Research:
[X] Wind research, same as before.
Now for the hard part, intrigue:
There is the possibility that the reporter has been head planning how to crucify us for years. Going in head first is very, very risky imho so I am in favor of a more conservative approach.
Either []Background piece or []Know thy enemy.
Wasting time on an interview while the colony is still reeling can be seen as foolish, a back ground piece has low chance of something damaging and we get an overall feel about the reporter's disposition. Know thy enemy offers us information but we don't know the chance of success and a failure could prove very damaging.

Relaxing instead of ending rationing seems wise to me as well. I also agree on the diplomacy option, and like the Know thy enemy option.

Re: Outcast Quest
The reporter might have also prepared sources to skewer you in the worst way possible, in which case Background Piece might be the worst option. Just because you didn't do anything wrong doesn't mean they can't make it seem like you did something wrong. Then again, the fact that they had to resort to a tabloid afterwards may mean that the reporter doesn't have the skills to pull off the required subtlety: only the end of the month can tell.dragoongfa wrote: Now for the hard part, intrigue:

At the same time, Live Interview runs the risk that the reporter might be better on their feet than you (differing reaction to jump sickness, for example), or might run the risk of conveying the impression that you're setting yourself up for a run for Colonial Governor: the Captain will need to be careful to tilt the direction of things in her favor, such as descriptions of her concerns and frustrations about the current situation, and her plans to compensate for them. Beware of over-committing though, in addition to the risk of your own talking points being turned against you.
Private Interview runs the risk of the worst possibility of all: if you suppress the interview, then it probably won't be enough to prevent rumor of the interview from spreading around, possibly just from someone mentioning that they saw you having a meeting with the reporter, after which it could be twisted into any number of forms: Private Interview is the option most likely to open the Captain up to rumors of backroom dealings and vaguely defined nefariousness.
But the worst case would probably be taking any of the previous actions against the reporter, and discovering afterwards that the "enemy" actually WAS the Rose, and was just hunting for dirt. They could have learned of maintenance, testing, and configuration backdoors through a contact with one of the L'Amour's construction contractors. So, likely worst-case has been avoided.
At any rate, I would suggest against Know Thy Enemy at present. If the Blue Rose is presenting themselves legitimately, and possibly even if they aren't, this is the current best-chance to get a foot in on the Intrigue aspect of the game, so fertilizing the Rose in some way is likely worth the effort. Similarly, Private Interview sounds too dangerous to risk.
At any rate, there's still options available to improve the Captain's standing, so things would likely have to go very badly indeed for this to become a major failure.
Re: Outcast Quest
What's our food income now, 500 food units per turn? And we have 540 expenditure if we go to full rations, and so we'll have a monthly negative of 40, with 624 Food in supply. So we have enough extra supply that we could survive if we had a potato famine for one month. I say yes, end rations, but we need to start a yeast plant either this turn or next. It's going to important to have a surplus of food.

[X] Yes
It's still 6 months from the elections, so the debates can wait. And we already have a good reputation with the colonists. Let's meet with the Loroi.

Re: Outcast Quest
If we get a potato famine without preventive rationing the whole population will not have any backup rations at all to survive. The Yeast plant takes two turns to finish so if we start it now our food will reach zero the moment it is ready. If a potato famine happens after that we are back to square one in regards to rationing because our whole population will have to survive solely on Yeast for a couple of months if not more.
Light rationing is the safest bet.

Re: Outcast Quest
What do you mean with crop diversification on the survey?
Nvm, just saw it...
So the income is halved for 8 months and it doesn't occupy a stewardship slot...
What is the food consumption for 2/3 rationing?
EDIT: I don't like those rolls at all.
Damn, emergency change of plans because Razor went insane.

Re: Outcast Quest
I'm not insane. I'm just differently sane.
Those rolls may or may not have relevance to you. I'm mostly showing them off to tease, but do bear in mind that the universe is not standing still while you're building up. Things are happening. Have been happening? Will be happening? Happened? To you? To others? Who knows?
Your consumption on 2/3rds rationing goes up from 243 to 354 units of food.
There are currently:
14, 9, 7 = 30 women who are pregnant and on full rations, with others switching out to maintain the balance of food, as well as a few miscellaneous others who are also on full rations due to risky / necessary precautions and not wanting important personnel yo keel over from the munchies.
The number of women who are pregnant will definitely rise when your habitation complex is built. There's just no avoiding the inevitable on that front. You've got about 217 women amongst your population (half the colonists plus a handful of marines, your crew is excluded) who can have a maximum number of one child every three years or so, and I'm rolling 1d20 pregnancies per month as of Turn 2. At the end of the year (Turn 12) the available pool of women able to bear children will drop and the d20's will continue. This should give you decent population growth if you can keep things going until Turn 216.
The reason your colonists are going to be wanting to pop out the children is because of demographic problems. You have a small but highly skilled population. Lose too many people too quickly, and you'll actually regress technologically as you lose vitally important experts. By the time the children being produced right now grow up and start learning trades, your colonists will be pushing their 50's and 60's, with no middle-aged people and a host of younger people. Your colonists know this and are avoiding this problem by being proactive on this.

Re: Outcast Quest
@ Razor, you didn't count the Loroi in the numbers, the food total on 2/3 should be 362 (354 + 8)
Crunched the numbers and if we pick up Yeast this turn we can start the food diversification now and have a solid surplus in turn 7 with mild food rationing:
Food situation:
Turn 4: 624 - 362 = 262 + 250 = 512
Turn 5: 512 - 362 = 150 + 250 = 400
Turn 6: 400 - 362 = 48 + 500 = 548
We still wont be able to fully lift food rationing but 2/3 rationing plus full food safety we are golden on that front until full food diversification is complete, if we really want to remove food rationing before the 8 turns are done we can build an extra agri center which will bring the halved food income to 325.
So my proposal and vote:
[X] Food diversification
[X] Yeast
[X] Altitude thrusters.
Which will then be followed by
Yeast + Stabilization
Mine + Stabilization
Habitat + Mine
Mine + Clinic
Recycling + Medical center
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... sp=sharing
EDIT: Question, we have data hard drives and Arioch has made it clear that there are longevity treatments available at the tech level humanity is (Even went as far to say that there are people alive now that are still alive when the comic takes place). I think that we should address the aging population with a Bio Lab + Longevity production research. Will you allow this?

Re: Outcast Quest
My bad on the numbers there, didn't count them because their rationing won't be changing and forgot to add them after the fact.
Food diversification will cost you an action this turn if you choose to enact it. It just won't take up a stewardship action (Lock in) for your subsequent turns. If you're going to pursue it now, you'll need to drop either Yeast or Attitude Thrusters.
RE: Longevity treatments, sure, but the research to reproduce that kind of stuff with the micro-scale economy you have is going to be long and difficult, especially since some of the highly specialised and expensive medicines you'd need you don't have.

Re: Outcast Quest
Hmm...
Wait a sec, will the second potato harvest be halved (250) or full (500) since we planted only potatoes on the second planting?
EDIT: How difficult exactly? A 10.000 investment sounds reasonable considering the returns.
EDIT2: If the harvest is full as it should be, then we can drop Yeast and pick it up the next turn without an issue.
Turn 4: 624 - 362 = 262 + 500 = 762
Turn 5: 762 - 362 = 400 + 250 = 750
Turn 6: 750 - 362 = 388 + 250 = 638
Turn 7: 638 - 362 = 276 + 500 = 776
The RU output looks good as well:

Re: Outcast Quest
You're trying to recreate a proprietary and advanced medical treatment without the correct medicines or even the precursors to those medicines on a virgin economy with a small group of people with a doctor who's job isn't in anti-aging research using medical knowledge that assumes you have access to an economy capable of supporting billions and all the necessary infrastructure that implies.
I'm not saying it's impossible, but it probably compares favourably with the collar. If there's a logical way to make it easier on you in the future though, I'll consider it.
Your second potato harvest will be the full 500. The reduction in agricultural output is assumed to be planting for different crops, and your second agri-complex will go through the diversification as well.

Re: Outcast Quest
**checks to see how things are going on the survey**
**there's a three way tie on a certain option**
Well. Guess I'd better leave this for a couple days then.
In other news, some slight retconning.
Avilac is now house Arilad. V and C do not seem to exist as Loroi syllables, so it required a backtrack. Going forward, I'll try to keep to this.
The number of major Loroi Houses has been reduced from 70 to 7. There are two reasons for this, but the main one is so that the distinction between major and minor houses remains... distinct, and for ease of storytelling.
I've also taken the opportunity to flesh out backstories and such.
