Paranoid: An Adventure in Extreme Fishing[Lanun Spoilers]

[Selrahc]

We've got fish, and we've got whips. You want something else then you're in the wrong civilization. :neenernee

Hey, can we get a screenshot of your demographics and maybe your empire overall?

Hey, can we get a screenshot of your demographics and maybe your empire overall?

In 2 turns, when I've got city number three up and running, and regrown the population from the whipped settler. That will be a good showcase point, because it will pretty much represent the final state of the Lanun empire bar some population growth.

The expansion of Complex External brings them to the edge of madness. An overlords festooned haven, that drives men mad, protected by hideous sea serpents. A nighted, penguin-fringed abyss.



Elsewhere however, the Complex records record levels of productivity and population.



In analyzing this against the figures of the surface mutants, the advantages of the relentless drive for fish becomes evident.

Assessments that the fish stocks surrounding these cities are being fished to extinction are treason. Rumours that the secret society PURGE has created an offshore base that it launches continual raids from are treason.



With an edge in food production and a rapidly increasing level of research and population, Complex External is making bold news strides towards the worlds of tomorrow.

The computer would urge you not to consider the relatively low levels of production, and would instead urge you to take another Happy pill.

Relax, and enjoy the fact that our anaemic army of five men with clubs is still well within the safe zone, compared to the small army of the other factions.

6 turns until level 1 routine maintenance procedures are complete, and the upgrade to Computer 2.0 can begin.

The mass upgrade to Cloning Tank systems known as "HumanitY Birthing Or Relocation: Extreme Measures" will be the first task for Computer 2.0. We see no circumstances under which the project could spiral out of control with apocalyptic circumstances. Project H.Y.B.O.R.E.M. has been unanimously agreed upon by the computer and the High Programmers, making it flawless.

Attached Note from Pioneer-1 to Control Group V
If we can only keep away the secret societies, the "Lanun PURGERs", unregistered mutants, Cultist fishmen and that nutter in a Guy Fawkes mask Alpha Complex will soon be experiencing a new dawn, based on Complex External technology. Needless to say, that will make the violet pioneers controlling Complex External operations indispensable. A promotion to UV might be on the cards if play things right.[/COLOR]

Do you have a more refined ETA for the completion of Project H.Y.B.O.R.E.M.?

[Selrahc]

1 turn of anarchy.
5 turns until the Great Prophet is born.
Lightbulb Infernal Pact on T88. Which should hopefully finish things.
Firm estimate- 88-91, depending on just how much that lightbulb can do.

[NobleHelium]

How much pop do you have?

[Selrahc]

By the time of the bulb I should have around 18.

[Hesmyrr]

So no mining, I guess?
