Cybernations

Hmm... I agree with Kasarn. The treaty is rather wordy without sounding formal, so the end result appears unnecessarily complex and unwieldy.

So do I pass 40 Tech along to Tez now after getting that package?

Yes, thanks.

Since we're short of volunteers... are you interested in remaining my middleman for subsequent transactions? I'm planning two more, with the first planned for the weekend after next. Basically, I want to get my tech to 300 (which is where it stops having useful game effects) and bring Kryptic up to the level where anything big enough to hurt her is also within striking distance of the rest of us.

Arcalane · July 07, 2007, 06:56:50 AM

I'll bite. No reason to refuse, really.

llearch n'n'daCorna · July 07, 2007, 07:13:29 AM

There's 1.5 passed across. If Kryptic would pass that on to Kasarn, who can then pass it back, we'll all be happy. Or something.

I just wondered, actually... If we passed 10k around, and just kept passing it, would the interest picked up from the various parties as it went through be worth the effort? Hmmm...

Kryptic · July 07, 2007, 12:49:39 PM

I got it now. I'll pass it on to Kasarn.

You know what's frustrating? I buy infa, thinking that I'll hit another thousand. Nooo... 4,999 civillians. Bah. The game mocks me.

Kasarn · July 07, 2007, 01:30:12 PM

Moon stuff:
Cost per AI at 504AI
$29,474, 1.5 Copper, 2.8 Ilmenite, 0.6 Gold

After 5.4 hours I collected 1.7 Gold, 5.3 Ilmenite, 11 Aluminum, 14.2 Copper and 18.9 Iron

llearch n'n'daCorna · July 07, 2007, 02:03:00 PM

At least you've started collecting gold, I suppose.

I'll await the tech arrive any minute now, I guess... ;-]

Yay! My joining the alliance rocketed us into... uh... 93rd place!

I wonder if that's enough of a safety net to try war mode for a bit. The new changes to grant income kinda suck for us hippie carebears.

llearch n'n'daCorna · July 07, 2007, 05:28:26 PM

I'm not sure being in war mode would make enough difference, really. Grants are variable enough, and low enough, that even quadrupling them wouldn't really make that much difference, IMO.

Although, not having tried it, it's possible it'd be enough spare cash to make a change.

I'd sort-of like to get Valynth into the alliance, since he's now at 200AI...

Valynth · July 07, 2007, 11:23:36 PM

Yep, I'm getting up there, mostly because I've been selling minerals like crazy. Seriously, I sell about 50% of the stuff I get just because I don't have any other use for them and my storage space quickly fills up after two or three gatherings.

Hopefully my shiney new improvement will help with that.

Kasarn · July 08, 2007, 12:20:51 AM

You will always be selling excess minerals. Personally, I put off buying the Mineral Warehouse until I had the population to buy the next improvement.

I was wondering where PSD's membership was going...

Curiousity killed the cat, eh?

Kasarn · July 11, 2007, 04:10:22 AM

Haha, the Score value has been changed and ours is now 0.26

Although, I think it's much more representative than the 23.43 it was yesterday.

llearch n'n'daCorna · July 11, 2007, 05:48:15 AM

*poke* *poke*

Where's my tech, Kasarn? Or has Kryptic not passed it to you yet?

Kasarn · July 11, 2007, 06:32:51 AM

No, I haven't gotten anything and Kryptic is off at her family reunion.

llearch n'n'daCorna · July 11, 2007, 09:08:43 AM

muttermuttermuttermutter.

I knew something was going too well. Now I'll just have to make do for the moment...

Regularly, you mean? I picked up like... 0.3 really early on and sold it on the market.

I haven't recieved any since.

Yeah. Before 500AI, you pull in ~1 of gold over the entire stretch of time to get there - four months or more. After there, well, I'm up to 17.6 of gold, in about 2-3 RL days. And I've sold most of the 0.6 or 0.8 I collected previously.

Kryptic · July 14, 2007, 12:31:50 AM

Oh, I'm so sorry! Argh!

Passing it on right now. *hides in shame*

Kasarn · July 14, 2007, 01:06:54 AM

And bounced... or bpunced. Me spel reel gud

llearch n'n'daCorna · July 14, 2007, 08:20:29 AM

Not that I'm complaining, or anything, but, uh, Kasarn, you're supposed to keep 10 and pass 40, or something.

Usually, anyway.

Is Tez saving up for the 31st day? There's no way I can hit it, now, so...

Arcalane · July 14, 2007, 03:27:26 PM

Looking peachy in CN, and I've passed the 100 AI checkpoint on LW (now clocking in at 115 AI) so I'm starting to accelerate on the going up front.

llearch n'n'daCorna · July 14, 2007, 05:18:27 PM

having passed the 500AI front in LW, I'm starting to slow down... ;-]

CN.. I'm still annoyed at Tez. He's -still- ahead of me.

I'm almost tempted to cheat. Again. ;-]

Edit:
gah! Lunar Wars gave me another 800 troops. I now have, after 2 weeks of buying none, have over 1400 spare soldiers that haven't got jobs looking after housing units.

Yay. Just what I wanted. :-/

Tezkat · July 15, 2007, 01:21:51 PM

Heh... you look bigger than me now... if only by a little.

Anyways... yeah, I'm on track for Kryptic's one month anniversary. I sent the cash through Arc this time, so it should percolate down to her in time for her to get the birthday bonus.

In other news... we've got a new newbie to play with.

Arcalane · July 15, 2007, 01:25:55 PM

So do I pass 1.5mil along to Kryptic now?

Tezkat · July 15, 2007, 01:28:44 PM

Heh... that was quick. Er... yeah... that was the plan, more or less.

Arcalane · July 15, 2007, 01:41:47 PM

Sent and awaiting approval.

For about ten minutes, yes, and only because you're not buying anything with that money you're rolling in.

We'll see. I think the week of not having the tech I paid for (because Kryptic was AFK, so no, I'm not complaining) slowed me down. Oh, well.

Yeah. Fresnor decided he wanted to play. Shall we leave him lurking for a while, and then start handing him cash? I think Kryptic has reached the point of falling returns, so we probably want to leave off pushing quite so hard for growth there...

I'm willing to be argued with, though ;-]

Kryptic · July 15, 2007, 07:44:38 PM

Yeah - the tech costs about 800K right now. So I'll see...

Who do I pass tech onto?

llearch n'n'daCorna · July 15, 2007, 08:42:58 PM

Me! Me! ;-]

... oh, ok. Tez passed it to Arc, who passed it to you, right? So flick it back to Tez.

Arcalane · July 19, 2007, 11:55:57 PM

Up to 200 AI on LW now.
