Whiskey in a Beaker - tech discussions & science lab

[Daghdha]

Especially since he monitors this thread as well

Thats why we are having this discussion - we all realise it is at best unethical, but I didn't see anything in the rules as to when or how we were allowed to contact the other teams. I would hate it if the 2 Alpha teams had already cooked up a deal, and we didn't just because we thought it wasn't allowed.

But in any case I am happy to only contact people when we have met them in game

 

[Sir Bugsy]

@ RF - I think that is the spirit of the contact rules. I think we would have a good case for sanctions if we found out two other teams had made contact before real in-game contact.

Mysticism should be finished in 5 turns. Go for polytheism next or is there something else we want first?

 

[RFHolloway]

my vote is for poly

 

[killercane]

Poly is due in ~7 turns. The idea is alphabet next. We should have a coastal city in a few turns for a curragh. Is this the consensus?

 

[RFHolloway]

Yes from me - I don't know what after that though - Lit or IW look like reasonable targets.

What about shooting for Maps? We're a little low on contacts.

 

[Sir Bugsy]

I would say let's find out where the iron is while our dinky boat is built. Then we can go for map making and galleys

Hey, we're need to keeping a running tab of tech values with the Babes as they're exchanged. Does anyone out there want to crunch the values of the techs as they're exchanged?

Also, while the GLib is under construction, and in the event that we don't get it completed in time, we'll need to share the tech duty w/ the Babes in order to have a chance of catching up w/ Free/Council.
