Term 3 Science - From Merlin to Fibonacci

[Cyc]

By the results of this Poll, we now have our fourth Tech in the Tech Queue. And that Tech is Gunpowder, which won the Poll with 64% of the vote. The Poll was held open for 48 hours. Therefore, our current Tech Queue looks like this -

Printing Press
Democracy
Economics
Gunpowder

A new Science Poll will go up today that will have the following Tech Options listed in it -

Music Theory
Chemistry
Free Artistry
Navigation

The aforementioned Poll has been posted and can be found here. Please vote now. This Poll will stay open for 72 hours and will give us our 5th Tech in the Science Queue.

Minister Cyc,
As your potential sucessor, I have but one question to ask of you before you depart this office (after raiding it of all supplies, paperweights and towels, of course).
Where do we plan to prebuild Smith? We have the ability to do a prebuild again, so where do we put it?
Penguinadua...Penguinadua...Penguinadua..

Hehe. You brought up the same point when I mentioned Shakespeare's Theater, you Shakespearian Penguin, you.

First of all, I still believe the placement of Wonders, or the gathering of knowledge and support for choosing a site for one is the responsiblity of the Domestic Dept. If not there, then it should fall on the Culture Dept. Both are well suit, departmentally for this.

Second, although since its creation, I have looked upon Peguinadua as a Cultural center, it has never blossomed as such. It is now tied with some other 10 cities in Culture. Although it is building a Cathedral now, I think a Marketplace followed by a University would be a better queue for this city. In regards to Wonder building, Penguinadua will need some irrgation in it's grasslands and mines in it's hills to make it a strong contender for that right. As of now, it is tied with Regia Doughnutia for 6th place in the Shields standings. So things don't look that favorable.

But there is good news. I have decided to vote for you as Science Leader. Having known you for quite some time, I can say I am very familiar with your work and trust you will not let the nation down. I'm sure Siegmund will make an excellent Deputy.

BTW, you have to buy you own flasks and beakers, as I've found an excellent use for them at home and have more or less appropriated them all.

Well, as we close out this Term's Science Report, I'd also like to thank everyone for the opportunity of being on the President's Cabinet. We'v had a very successful Term in Science, I'm sure both Merlin and Fibonacci would be proud of us. We've researched or traded for 14 Techs, which is outstanding, and we are still Technologically advanced.

We will be done researching Democracy in 5 turns and then move onto Economics (9 turns), followed by...well we have to get the results of the Science Poll which ends this Saturday morning before the next chat. Due to our excellent funding and trading this last t/c, we achieved Printing Press, Music Theory, and Gunpowder (we have two sources of Saltpeter connected!). Our new options are Chemistry, Free Artistry, and Navigation. Please don't vote for Music Theory in the current Poll. Below, you'll find a picture of our current Science Screen.
