General Jorgenson: I could use the following.
-sonic grenades
-emp grenades
-the cloaking device silas had
-a fake computer virus that temporarily confuses brainbot
-2 dilithium
-a transport with a warp drive. Hence agree to skaregg deal and build a warp drive. Dont bother calculating cost since the future will be changed anyway.
-cllr kench
-copies of proof of what happened in doc form
-a gun
-silas body armor

Don't leave colony. We can make Colony great again. General Jorgenson, get the recording.

Well, if we're decided on this, lets have at it. Lets make sure our one shot works

General Jorgenson: So, when this is done. You realize theres gonna be two of me. And Im gonna have to probably kill myself for the 2nd time in my life. What a trip

##Give Jorgenson what he wants

General Jorgenson: There will be two Kench also. I hope you are prepared man.

By the way, yavuzovic, I don't remember what role you joined as.

What do you need Councilor Kench for?

##Brainbot I suggest shortening this phase back down to 48 hours, since there's not much we can do until General Jorgenson completes his mission.

Brainbot: I have programmed the transport to take you back to the start of phase. If all goes according to plan you will arrive here just before Capt. Jorgenson returns from Edasichb. Ive uploaded a temporary system shutdown much like what racunar does. This will stall the fleet briefly enough that youll be able to kill Silas and shut down security measures that could attack your transport. Im basically teaching myself how to sabotage myself. Bizarre.

As a precaution you should probably kill the duplicate kench. Or have him off on a wild goose chase. A key detail is alex was in kenchs mind this phase. Its very likely your simulacrum will be the dominant as a result.

Probably makes no sense.

Jorgenson, please explain it better.

Brainbot: The new phase will be normal. 48 hours as weve lost some players no need for 72 or longer.

@leon1122 I'm Glocus the rat from Rattatat's aliens.

Good, 48 hours is good.

General Jorgenson: If anyone objects, please speak. Dissent is healthy.

¤~ Phase XVI ~¤
-Ticking away, the moments that make up the dull day-

--Commander Byron has been assassinated!--
--Silas has been killed--
--Someone has used a Jorgenson badge at the colony before he has even landed.--

**We have built Hadron Particle Accelerator**
Hadron Particle Accelerator - 5000 Steel, (6) Science, (8) Fuel, takes 200 workers to build.
Grants Colony +10 Steel +10 Fuel per phase.

“Bully! The size of a Battleship! Marvelous, hovering at the edge of madness for what humankind can create. This makes the Accelerator of early 21st century look like a joke. This is great”.

--We have researched Interon bone fragments. Interon share all traits with humans. They were phoenicians of space, colonizing many worlds. Their race became highly developed and eventually paired with an alien race of like minded interest. Interon underwent a significant biological evolution gaining mental abilities telepathy, telekinesis until ultimately becoming the khamaloid--

Decision:
Destroy the fragments
Manufacture human enhancement drugs to allow a variety of abilities
Give fragments to hynerians

Hynerian research indicates they are a small (literally) group of creatures currently at war with Sabaceans, and other distant alien marauder groups. Hynerians suffer from health problems despite long life spans.

Bosnia: It’s as if all of our former neighbors got together and became desert dwellers. Greetings! We would like friendship. Our financier Chinese Space Agency has informed us you are a very successful colony and will help us get off the ground. We settled on an Oceanic world as a floating colony. Any advice?

Defense Dept:
##Built a Nuke
##Blast the 4 drifting battleships with EMP then board and capture them. Have the Prawn stay back as backup in case something bad happens.

##Brainbot, you never responded as to what mole ships are and how strong they are. Also, how many phases do we have until the 2096 Olympics?

With regards to the Congo, I am fine with building a monorail to them, but we have too much diversity, not too little. I am not in favor of an open border policy.

##Vote to reject membership in the Red Legion.

The flood of new immigrants has caused our education level to drastically decrease. We must implement a merit-based immigration system. (DeluxeStarLord)

##Vote to accept Blue Horizon offer
##Vote to accept Syscor Pharma offer
##Vote to reject SANSA offer
##Vote no on marriage bill- Cyborgs are not able to produce children. As cyborgs can be built to look more attractive than humans, many humans will choose cyborgs as their partners, and humanity will have a population crisis. To allow marriage with cyborgs is to guarantee humanity's extinction or near-extinction.

##Vote yes on holiday bill
##Vote yes on immigration bill- as I mentioned previously, we need to increase homogeneity and a sense of identity
##Vote no on minimum wage bill- I am willing to begin paying wages, but I am not willing to implement it with a 'minimum' wage system.
##Vote no on corporate tax rate.

H+H:


##Build Upgraded Hangar (2.2 steel, 1 credits, 60 workers) - request that Engineer Oztra rush this build
##Build Offshore Oil Rig (1.5 steel, 50 workers) - this will give us +1 corruption, which I think we can deal with, but the fuel will be very helpful with all the journeys we will be doing to and from our mines on the moon. If you do not want to take on the +1 corruption, you'd best speak now
##Build free uranium mine using Miner Pootle's power
##Build 3 steel mines (120 workers, supervised by Cllr Kench, Wajira and Chelmy)
##Build 1 other mine (40 workers, supervised by Exy73)

I'm strongly in favour of us using our Science to build the Hadron Particle Accelerator this year. I am willing to offer 3000 steel from my budget, out of the 5000 needed in order to see it done. It's a big commitment, but as far as wonders go it is quick to build and will have made up its own steel and fuel cost in one phase. Obviously, this requires some cooperation, so I'll make it a formal proposal and hope for some support.

##Prop 15.1 Build Hadron Particle Accelerator

Separately:
##Build 15 farms (450 workers)
##Build 5 Biowells (2000 steel, 150 workers)
##Hunt for 2 whales (60 workers)
##Allocate 100 sheep for wool (from those not shorn last phase)
##Allocate remaining sheep to breeding
##Allocate 6 Harvesters to food
##Allocate 6 Harvesters to luxuries
##Allocate Recycler to Fuel

Crisis Card
57/100
-Signal-
A signal coming from Lentilis indicates a settlement there. (7) fuel distance. The signal is low frequency and sporadic. The message says something about the interwebs and repeats it over and over.

A) Investigate (-14 fuel round trip)

B) Ignore

Brainbot: Not that I'm advocating inaction...

But if we did help the NAL, how would we get there? We have 20 fuel. A round trip for our Nuclear Battleship is (5).

A round trip for a normal battleship is (10)
We could send 2 ships basically...

But what do I know? I'm just a computer

Bladerunners: This is ridiculous. We built an oval office and put tons of security on the President at all times. This wouldnt happen. How is there no suspects captured? Brainbot why is Silas dead we didnt even let him land?
If this is the kind of events were going to have without the ability to react, I resign. Why didnt the Secret Service report anything to me? Why did we not see any attack coming?
This seems unrealistic.

Not what i said. Lots of insccuracies re what 'jorgenson saystoo avoyt how we ran things. We had a great system

A player vs gm disagreement led to issues -- bot colony in game decisions

Also i never said i wanted to quit. I just dont want to continue if game pace too fast / action happens between phases with no input and if a player quits + he and gm can just destroy colony and everything accomplished

Solution: 1. GM and CB talk and resolve things.
2. Cb and gm unrealistically blowing up colony is reversed not in game with time travel but as a GM stating whoops. This.never should have happened because a player and gm had disagreement

What a shame all this had to happen after a full month if play;; lots if effort and time by GM and players; and just as some awesome new players joined

Repeat - Don't solve problems 'in game'. solve the game

**Human First Contact with Ocularans**

YnBar, you are experiencing a space time continuum conundrum. You have evidently trigged a significant change in the course of evolutionary history. Our job is to identify and evualuate the severity of such an infraction. Many things that are terrible are necessary. Many things that are terrible are purely just terrible. Our job is not to measure violations in terms of how many innocents die or how many are saved.

As a result we are charging the council of YnBar with using a powerful technique that is an offense (if you are found responsible and compliant) that earns you up to a lifetime of prison.

You probably feel that this was not a crime you are aware existed. Ignorance of this offense is not a valid defense. We give you 48 hours to present the case of your innocence in these matters.

I ignore the crisis card. We have a lot of problem this is not necessary.
##Vote to accept Blue Horizon offer
##Vote to accept Syscor Pharma offer

I think we're not available for nuclear power now. We need fuel, yes. But first, we have to solve our dangerous problems.

**Emergency Message from Odunlade, Acting Prime Minister of NAL**

SpaceX has blockaded us for our role in the conflict at CHXR. They have 9 battleships and DS4 in orbit. Theyve destroyed all ships we are trying to send away. They refuse to reply to our hails. They offered no terms.
Our President has gone missing. Our only battleship was obliterated in the attack. This is a maximum level distress signal. Please help us. We argued for you YnBar and prevented your councils arrest. I personally helped save your planet. We turned on SpaceX when it was not advantageous for us to do so. You offered them peace immediately after we declared war on them FOR YOU. Now were about to be destroyed.



Brainbot: the NAL reside on Alcor (5) Fuel distance.
They settled Alcor in 2089 after Kepler1117 their original planet became overrum by Musk worms. The NAL have the Wonder Promethean which is a disease and invasive species science lab. They used this lab to cure Tiberium sickness mutation. Odunlade has earned the Nobel Prize in Agriculture and Medicine. Odunlade was a guest on Ynbar and helped to create a system of sand traps which allowed our desert to stop growing. He also was able to eradicate borer beetles from YnBar.
Odunlade's best friend- a linguist was murdered by a Serbian high on stimpack. A trial was held and the Serbian man was found not guilty. He resumed work as a colonist.
Odunlade left Ynbar, denounced our faction and returned home. A few months later Odunlade returned with SpaceX to arrest the council. He was able to talk them into destroying the Prawn and ignore YnBar. In the process we destroyed the SpaceX attackers and Odunlade surrendered, vowed to declare war on SpaceX and we released him.

I offer them to join us. SpaceX listens us. Their supply will be our and they can continue to living in Ynbar. They are useful. I don't want to they die.

Is no one going to react to the fact we've just been accused of tampering with space time? Seriously, how the hell is time travel even possible?

Brainbot:
The slingshot effect, also known as the light-speed breakaway factor, was a method of time travel through the use of an artificially-created time warp. This maneuver was performed by traveling at an extremely high warp factor towards a massive body with a high gravitational attraction, such as a star. After allowing the gravitational pull to accelerate the vessel to even faster speeds, the vessel would then break away from the stellar body, creating a whiplash effect which could transport the vessel through time. Performing this maneuver required extremely precise calculations to be made, such as availability of fuel components, acceleration, and mass of a vessel through a time continuum.
The only successful attempt by anyone we know is...

Oh shit.

Brainbot: We arent technologically capable of doing what were being accused of... we dont have warp drives... yet. Hmm

Brainbot:
One of the greatest mysteries of the past 100 years was the great cheese heist.

Accessing Report, April 2017.
Police as confused as a string of cheese heists has rocked the Wisconsin area.

Officer Dunbar: I never seen nothing like this. Parmesan, Asiago, Gouda. Fuck me, somebody loves cheese.

"For one hard-luck semitrailer driver, the routine task of hauling 20,000 pounds of fresh Wisconsin cheese from Green Bay to the Milwaukee area led to a mysterious crime that remains unresolved a year later.

That night, the semitrailer pulled into the Hoffman Storage facility near Interstate 94. The Oak Creek business seemed a safe place to temporarily leave his trailer while he got his truck serviced. The property had video surveillance and a chain-link fence. Video showed several suspects with rat masks much like the character Master Splinter from Ninja Turtles.

By 2 a.m., when the driver woke up, his trailer was gone. Someone made off with $46,000 worth of stolen cheese.

Where did the cheese go? Where did the semitrailer wind up? Just who was the cheese bandit? Almost a century later, no suspects ever surfaced.

The Oak Creek case from June 30 was one of three cheese heists that year — strange, unusual crimes that gave Wisconsin plenty of national notoriety:
"Thieves make off with $46,000 worth cheese in Wisconsin heist" - New York Daily News

"People can't stop stealing thousands of pounds of cheese" - Gizmodo

"What went wrong in Wisconsin's biggest cheese heist?" - Munchies

A semitrailer filled with 41,000 pounds of Parmesan cheese was stolen in Marshfield and another trailer of assorted cheeses was taken in Germantown. That pair of crimes occurred in January 2016, about a week apart. Both of those loads were recovered. The Marshfield shipment of cheese turned up about two weeks later at a storage warehouse near Appleton. The trailer of cheese from Germantown turned up at a grocery store lot in Milwaukee.

"It's an organized type of crime," said Marshfield Police Lt. Darren Larson. "It's certainly very plausible because of the sophisticated nature of these crimes that you need knowledge of the (freight) shipping business."
