The President's office would like to publicly thank the NSD for formulating the long science queue. Keep up the good work!
The President's office also requests that the NSD lay plans for Phoenatica to gain a technological edge over the other countries.

 

[Strider]

I was already planning something.... I was thinking of asking (ALOT) of gold for rush unversities/libries or see if I can talk to the culture department about rushing some in are greek border cities. Also the NSD the the cashh to buy techs.

 

[Zur]

I was thinking of asking (ALOT) of gold for rush unversities/libries or see if I can talk to the culture department about rushing some in are greek border cities.

This will have to be a long-term plan due to the current cash squeeze. It may work in conjunction with CAP.

 

[Curufinwe]

Strider, we can only build Universities to help us, every last city has a library, afraid huge costs (396 after 1 sheild, 4 less for every new sheild) so the rush cost may grow inhibiting, perhaps ask governors to change queues to a few more universities, but I see a lot happening already.

 

[Strider]

I know.... I made a list of which cities don't have universcities. Most of them don't, but ALL cities have a library.

 

[Strider]

Here's the list I made:

Fox Nest: Both

[Cyc]

I think we're at a key turning point here as our Science paths will differ from player to player. So I'm marking this point with another Science screen. Hope you like it, Strider. BTW, game year is 1315ad.

 

[Strider]

Thanks Cyc

 

[Strider]

I will be gone June 15th to June 22nd. I've had computer problems and just got a new computer. Unluckily my back up disks are in england so I will be without a computer for some time. Zur and curu will have to take over for me.

 

[Curufinwe]

it seems as if every department I'm in has a leader missing. So instead of Strider I ask zur your opinion on this, in the constitution it says that science is in charge of research goals through research, espionage and conquering, but not trade. Does this not seem a bit odd do to the fact that a significant source of science is in trading, where as espionage has yet to be used by us and conquering is inefficient. What do you think of it?

 

[Strider]

I'm not missing curu, I'm just having computer problems. And it's only the 13th I'll still be here for two more days.

 

[Curufinwe]

sorry, then wha tis your opinion on it?

 

[Strider]

True, but I think they have it that way because of the trade department(which I am deputy of) Through I think the Science department should have the option to trade techs.

 

[Zur]

Then both Strider and I will be semi-MIA over the next few days. I will only be returning from the Meditteranean on 20th June and will only have internet cafe access till then, which makes it highly unlikely that I will be able to attend chats. I also have no access the civ3 program (no, I didn't bring it on my trip )

in the constitution it says that science is in charge of research goals through research, espionage and conquering, but not trade.

This is a point I made regarding how department(s) should sort out cross-departmental issues like this. Science is higher in the COC so if no prior decisions have been made, then Science would have the say, which may not always be appropriate. IMO, there should be some trade-off between the Trade/Science Departments if there is conflict. In these cases, the departments should work together as far as possible to reach some kind of decision beforehand (before turn chat).

 

[Strider]

Zur

This is made easier by me being the trade deputy.

That means from 15th to the 20th curufinwe is in charge of the science department. From 20th to 22nd zur is in charge.

Also which ever one of you is taking over please pm me the techs that researched after ech turn chat or when you find out.

Strider

 

[eyrei]

Would the science leader and deputy please see this thread.

 

[Strider]

I'm back..... I will be retaking my power in the science department tommorow. (8 pages of thread substrications take's alittle while to read.) Intill tommorow whoever is currently in charge of the science department will continue to do so.

 

[Strider]

With the coming nominations/elections I am afraid I might lose my poistion to those who are my equals and maybe even betters. Curufinwe and Zur are both excellent candiates for Science Leader. Of course if I get nominated for science leader I will try my hardest to keep my seat, but both zur and curufinwe have more idea's than me. My only idea was to bring the citizens into science discussions. Bring the people into the science discussions worked smoothly and soon we had a large queue set up. Recently that queue was challanged by the citizens and was desposed of by the citizens creating a new science queue. With a old idea of mine being proposed(secret right now and it might stay that way, but hopfully it will make it through)I might gain enough respect to win Science Leader again.

 

[Zur]

I am back too officially as of now. It will also take me some time to catch up with the recent happenings. I hope Pheonatica has been getting along just fine!
