Retech

Ewwwwwwwww, humans. How do you manage to splice DNA into my males anyways? Have you been snooping around my planets? If so, they would've been shot down, most likely. :thumbsup:

Or, even more likely, the X/Y chromosomes are the cause of the difference. The Y chromosome may slow down the growth rate of the females, allowing their brain to develop more nerve connections. That is more likely. I like calling pi, pie. It's better, and it helps me remind myself that pies are circular.

1. Assuming that I'm not arguing about this, which I am, but assume I'm not. Then we'd have to logically conclude that since males are giving birth, females are also a likely result (1/10th) and possibly higher, since you're splicing in human chromosome. Thusly, either the males produce far more females, which evens things out, so I have 50% of each and can promote actual sexual equality, or you have created a population of super-smart females who can multiply ten digit numbers in their head within a second or so and can memorize pie to a million digits.

No Godmodding Sere!

Don't worry Grim. They've already been evacuated. :)

Oh yes, that reminds me. As you have sent a smart bomb at my people, my females must all be geniuses now! So the dominance still remains. Now my females are smarter than adult humans at the age of... 5? Interesting.

Is there any feasible way of causing intelligence to billions of people without me finding out?

That only depends on the conditions. Besides, males could never have become that smart in first place, but you interfered in my domestic affairs and made them smart, just to cause them to revolt. I made the whole government system on the premise of the species, and it was impossible for males to learn. Sure, there was the 1/1000th male who was a genius and could do basic addition and become a clerk, but the whole point is that males develop much faster than females, sometimes from eggs to adults in half a year. ---------------- So basically, I think I should have a free change of my governmental system without my people getting fussy, because these are extra ordinary circumstances when 50 billion idiots suddenly become intelligent. So if you're comparing this to a real life situation, none of this ever would have happened. There was a reason males were at the bottom of the food chain; they were naturally stupid. ----------------- There's also the fact that the queen can veto any bill that gets passed through.

Archi, I think you misunderstood what I posted. 1. The queen says she's been around for thousands of years, so she'll be around for many more thousands of years. 2. Males and females as a group have equal votes, but since there are fewer females, each of them individually get more of a vote. So basically votes are tabulated based on gender, then the percentages are averaged. For example Male: Candidate A: 2500 : 25% Candidate B: 7500 : 75$ Female Candidate A: 600 : 75% Candidate B: 200 : 25% This averages out as a tie, since both the candidates receive 50% of the vote. That's the real meaning of sexual equality in my species, since males are naturally more common than females.

Choose 50 billion Dusty! They'll be able to manage themselves, at least for a few turns until they choose me as their leader so I can ship them off the planet. Archi, I'd like to call that vote thing to see if they'd like to join the empire again. Also, what happened with the Capiahns?

Hehe, my bad! :) ---- Actually, it's good that you're booting me out of Japan now. I just realized that I don't have nearly enough land to support that many people. Oh yes, permission for the group of monks that regard Mount Fuji as a sacred site, as well as pilgrims to come to Mount Fuji? They'd be in unarmed transports of course, which you could search.

I get lured in by the prospect of candy and get stuffed in Ttan's trenchcoat.

Rocco threatened to virus bomb me 50 pages ago. Don't ya remember that?

Thanks Dusty! The reason I was being so desperate was because events were beginning to turn against you. You've had that feeling before, haven't you? *hints at Alpha Centauri* --------- And virus bomb... I wonder who threatened to do that to me earlier *hints at Rocco*

Can I call a plebicite thingy right now? :) To the Imperialists, I send a message that I (the queen) will be around for a long time, so they can guarentee they'll have a queen for at least ten thousand years. Also, I reply that females will always have more power individually because the female vote is worth 9 times the male vote, if everyone voted. Also, do I get my... 12.5 billion that fled from Japan? I'm sending unarmed transports to recover those people and return them to the homeworld. ------------- To Dusty, I'm not so much interested in Japan as I am in my people. If I win my plebicite, then I'll evacuate everyone off the Earth, except for embassy officials of course.

Erm, you don't have to pay farmers to farm their own food for themselves. <_<

Well, they are Japanese. Keep in mind that when we live on the surface, it's a 2d plane. When you dig tunnels and live in the water, that expands into 3d. Much more land to live in.

I have 6 viruses <_< ----------------------- I don't have army stats for Japan, but it is 50 billion. 25 million growing at 20% yearly ended up as 50 billion. You could logically assume that within that 50 billion, there'd be a sizable former-military group. I'm aware of that Dusty, but I'd rather not be surprise attacked and destroyed while I'm away. I'm on most of the time anyways, so that should be fine.

Sounds fair Dusty. Keep in mind you might need a few more troops than that. Japan has 50 billion up in arms, sooooooooo yep. Anyways, I wasn't really planning for an uprising, so I had a network of tunnel defences. Also, their submarines are some of the strongest. ----------------- Dusty, can you hold off your attack until Archi gets back? If the rebels rejoin the empire, I request that you allow them to evacuate to my home planets. You'd still get Japan, just without all the 50 billion dead bodies floating around. I can still virus bomb Earth, it's just not such a good idea for me to. ----------------- Incase Japan gets taken over while I'm not here, then the virus bombers have been commanded to release the virus. Of course, if something happens while I am here, they won't do anything.

Thanks for the correction. It should be prime minister. --------- Waiting for what Archi responds with

Ross, I'll go get the figures in a minute. It's in my report thingy. To Rocco, I ask you to leave my domestic affairs be. I don't want to fight; I just want to get my affairs back in order. --------------------- Thanks for the advice Ross, I'll see what I can do. To Archi, my nation is switching to a constitutional monarchy/representative democracy. Thank you Sere for a model. Basically, there's the queen and a president. There are two houses. One house is consisted of males, the other females. Nothing can get passed into law without both houses approving, while the queen can veto things. The president will be elected by a voting process where everyone can vote. Male and female votes are tabulated separately, with the vote consisting of 50% male and 50% female, regardless of the actual number of each sex. All rebels may rejoin the empire without repercussions. -------------- Whale Class Ultra Battleship (Elite): 2 SeaCow Class Ultra Battleship: 20 Manta Ray Class Super Battleship: 5 Kelp Class Heavy Battleship: 0 Wave Class Battleship: 0 Plankton Class Fighters: 0 Sea Bottom Class Artillery Battleship: 4 Transports: 800 There we go

I thought Doom needed some for her research project. Anyways, I haven't even used any of the Duna, so I'd have more than you.

Of course I gave in, someone *looks at Archi* made them intelligent all of a sudden. That's not supposed to happen! A doofus cannot become smart in a year.

Hmm Rocco, they stole my stuff possibly? I sacrificed millions of troops to gain Japan? I never said I was being wiped out; I said my GAINS were being wiped out. ------ Doom, I will send you my entire reserve stocks of Duna (150kg per year that it was being mined, I don't remember how long we've had the planets for) if you help me crush Rocco. This offer goes to Dusty too! :thumbsup:

I'm not going to let the gains that I've made be wiped out in a single day by an overzealous moderator. I'm bringing someone else down with me *stares at Rocco menacingly*
