Chairman Mist of the Laconic Collective

[Brian Shanahan]

Update!

"I'm a little teapot, short and stout,
here's my handle...
...oh bugger, I'm a sugarbowl!"

[Mist]

Just played t59 and absolutely nothing of interest is going on

There's a civic swap and new tech path to choose next turn, I'll post an update then.

Revolution time



My capital just graduated to a monster

[Maniac]

Do you lead in demographics?

[Mist]

Nope.

I'm tied first in power, narrowly 2nd in GNP ( behind Bob and his truckload of free culture ), narrowly 2nd in MFG ( behind Nic with mining laser and 5 cities ), 3rd in land and pop, and last in food which I completely ignore outside of short periods when I actually grow the cities.

You know Mist, the main reason why you suck at updating is that you don't consider a lot of things update-worthy. Sareln posted in the lurker thread and is thus presumably dead - most people would consider that worthy of being posted about.

[Mist]

That was posted in diplo and tech threads already, why waste electrons on repeating yet again?

[Mist]

Sigh. A goddamn fungal bloom next to capital. Off a single patch of coastal fungus. Ate a mine ( 10 worker turns to replace ). Can eat a settler and a worker too. Apparently I had two of them before, because my cultural buffer was exhausted. This frequency is surprisingly high and makes Biodomed economy not really viable in the long run, especially close to the coast.

Maniac, what are the exact odds of a bloom depending on city planet rating?

[Maniac]

your negative planet rating in that base per cent per turn

[Mist]

Seriously? I got *three* 5% events within ~50 turns?

Damn, that's some serious bad luck.
