Will we have other opportunities to share information?

Still following my sort-of min/max plan. Complications are fun.

Also, I think it's tied again.

Incidentally, the jumpdrive does this rarely enough that Humanity uses it somewhat often, thus the colony won't be getting more human population except via birth. Any recruited population will be aliens (Urkuk might make for great Minions if captured as pups). Thanks for making me picture this. :P ...

Snip I like the idea of getting that Light Ore facility up and running. The more we can get out of each action, especially early on, the better. Meeting with the new faction is going to be very important now that the Loroi have been at least slightly placated. We need to know where we stand with bo...

That does make things easier... I will see if I can get to work with that planning spreadsheet. EDIT: Spreadsheet done. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a3KOScF4-_4lD62efgAsRhU-l_yS5YoiMbE1r7R4sv4/edit?usp=sharing EDIT2: Question, does the damn thing show my email anywhere? I can't see your ...

Rolled 51 on meeting, it goes well. Rolled 1 on Intrigue check. You fail to notice something critical. The crit fail though. Current head plan with current information: Turn 2: Agri center + Mine = 10000 - (2250 + 250) = 7500 RUs Turn 3: Mine + Light Ore = 7750 - (1250 + 500) = 6000 RUs Turn 4: Min...

I would like to say that choosing 'Valhalla' gives us a perfect opportunity to put in some Lieutenant Colonel Kilgore quotes and of course the mandatory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TqtehtSB0LI I have a feeling that the Urkek will hate us ;) National Anthem! Well, we still need words... Close e...

The USA has switched at least unofficially. schools teach metric first. When did that happen? I'm 29 and I don't remember any metric at all. I'm a bit younger and I remember 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade being filled with the metric system. Then, I changed schools. In high school, metric units were used ...

Voted.

[X] Yea.

Let's never scrap the jumpdrive.

The idea that the Loroi who already met dozens of civilizations, are eager to memorize another set of units is strange but acceptable as a quirk of their behavior, but clearly the efficient businesslike thing to do is to show humanity the units used by all the other races in the alliance for inter-...

Algae might have done it, but that was taken as a genetic sample, so it's locked for now. Algae + Yeast = Nutrient Paste, a vile but nutritious food that keeps forever. Cheap to produce, your colonists won't starve on the stuff, but they will take morale hits unless they're a freak of nature like y...

[X] Rapids

I still want to go to the Rapids. All of the earlier reasons in addition to the fact that the Nafen might send a scout make the Briar Patch look bad.

The classic question of where to start your mighty empire. [X] Green Hivemind for the win! The radiation can prove problematic to navigate at first but my main concern is the combination of a hard to get location and the fact that the only nearby 'empire' looks small and probably has trouble with th...

We like our Alexanders.

Woot! First contact!

Also, we've got nothing better to do.

Looks like I only missed two updates while I was gone...

[X] Plan Compromise

This is why you should actually look at the posts that occur while you're writing a post. It's not as if you'll miss out on anything....

[X] Holding pattern... for another hour. Then swat them with low power lasers.

[X] Cut the transmission, THEN evade

Write in:

If they continue firing somewhat accurately, fire a warning shot (with a laser) back. If they persist, then shoot to disable.

Hopefully, they'll be friendly. If not, that's what a warning shot is for.
