Y'know, Ross, this is the second time you've typoed GDP and GPD. It's also working population, but yeah. I think this business of starting a rebellion on Hex's planet is a but ludicrous, to be honest.

That would be great Penguin. The bases will be on high ground near the coast.

Fortified military bases being constructed in Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and the Solomon Islands.

Was it not you who was principally against my telekinesis? At first, at least. Seemed like a good idea at the time. I liked the prospect of 'our' 'colour' being more widespread. My green was ugly. I'm British. I do not remember ever seeing you admit you have been wrong. How can a discussion be fair when you refuse to back down? If it was a logical formula, why do you think I would illogically reject it?

Treat others how you would like to be treated, Dusty. You moan about people's godmods, 'sarcastically' stick them into your own posts, and except us to sift through the [cabbage] to find what you really mean. Pretty sure that the Japanese 'state' is stronger than the Britannian one, but really, this is just you trying to piss me off. "Want to have a fair discussion? TOO BAD IT'S ME DUSTY." How about this: Do you actually use a formula to work out your Midgard growth rate, or just pick a random number from your head and think to yourself, "Yeah, that looks big enough." ?

Fact is, I had no idea what your real meaning was, so yes, it was unclear. If that's how you choose to interpret our 'agreement', however, this isn't really the case at all. I don't see your logic here. If you're posting, angrily, then yeah, you are taking it out on the thread. Back to the start of the circle, you can't populate India in 4 years. It's irrational, no matter how many drugs you have.

The choice of wording is quite important. It's my opinion if that if I, or someone outside your alliance web had posted what you did, you would have thrown up a [cabbage]storm if they were as unclear as you. Stop being butthurt because Sere liked me enough to want more of an alliance than just "yeah okay let's share tech woop", or because I actually bother to argue with you. Dusty, come on, 1 out of 3 of your posts are full of anger. When all else fails, joke.

5 is an overstatement, imo.

Oh my, aren't I a bad person. Sorry, I missed the class where we learnt that "popping up" means "I'm moving something over here". Super. No, I definitely meant godmodding. I assumed that your spaceships has cost more than 100b each, considering mine cost between 300 and 400. I'm apologise for this misunderstanding. However, logically, my battlecruisers will be, in more respects than not, superior to yours, according this data? Yes, money isn't everything, but as you state later in your post, your specialties are "Genetics and bio engineering". Then don't, comment on it, take your anger out on the person BSing and not on the thread as a whole. I didn't know people on Midgard could [bleep] people on Earth. That's pretty impressive.

The point was he left some of his people there. Thanks Of course not. That would be cowardly. I was referring to your ready built fortifications - the asteroid fields. Yes, I agree with you on this point. But making up new powerful metals is a similar problem, but whatever, this isn't important. So you're godmodding to keep up with everyone? What? No, you won't, because you get angry with us when we type BS so you won't do it either. You want people to play fair, not godmod, be sensible etc, you have to do it as well.

It grows naturally, albeit slowly, over time, Killer.

Afaik, Rocco wanted to keep his earth land for his HQ. Why grief? What's Roridium? Forgive me for not looking it up. What? The only instance I can think of this happening is Doom doing it, but I never thought anything actually came of it. Telekinesis is reinstated, since, y'know, godmodding is cool now. See above point, but to a lesser extent. 11 ships a year, on a budget of 1.4T? I think? Something like that. So, uhm, each ship is only costing 100b? This either means 1) Yours are awful or 2) Mine are superior. I really think you need to get over this surge in funding thing. Yeah, it was total BS, but in the long run it doesn't matter - we just don't need to repeat it. Do you want some kind of compensation for it? If not, shut up about it, yeah? Your planet increased it's population to that of India in 2009 in 4 years. I don't care how many drugs, robots or whatever you have, that's irrational.

Why is it [developmentally delayed]ed? I think his budget is somewhere around 600b, can't remember for sure. Often Sere has no idea what he wants to spend his money on, so simply saves it for later. I think the time you probably remember most is when he said he had something like 180b left over - but that was before any of these major projects started, iirc. Either way, Sere is very careful with his budget and does confer with Ross, Doom and myself over how much everything should cost.

Oh, the horror of adding a little bit of random triviaesque shizzle every now and then! God forbid we give some randomers some money! [but yeah, I guess I take your point.] Hex, I don't think so. Afaik, the heat from the laser would burn through the mirror anyway, or something.

This post? Wasn't necessary. In future, don't spam the thread with meaningless drivel. Nobody cares that you wasted your weekend. Trol, if nobody has claimed it I don't see why not. I assume it's in Fadou, and Grim is pulling out of other, so it's claimable..

They look like... water pistols.

[hide] Nop, but M16 are standard automatic rifles, that gun is original and alien. Okay, as you completely missed my point, STARGATE DIDN'T INVENT THE CONCEPT OF TRIPLE BARRELED SHOTGUNS. We've all had enough of Stargate, if someone posts something that looks similar to something from Stargate, guess what? None of us really care that much. So StarGateish tech is allowed as long as it isn't mine? [/hide] IT'S NOT STARGATE. The concept art may be similar, or whatever, but the point is Star-[bleep]ing-gate doesn't have a patent on triple barreled shotguns; i.e. the theory behind them didn't come from there.

It's a gun, Mather. Pretty sure they use M16's on Stargate as well, doesn't mean Stargate invented them.

Just saying, I was under the impression that considering you're starting a colony, you won't really be able to 'tax' anything from planets 'yet'. Infrastructure needs to be built, and those N colonists don't have the millions to do it.

Uhm, no, let's not. 13m*40k=520,000k total GDP 20% of this (high % for newbie) is 104b. But these stats are totally wrong, as your entire population cannot all work. Some are too young, some are too old, some are too sick etc. But whatever.

You're given starting budget of 80b so you're not gimped.

Your current average income is supposed to be 40k. It should increase steadily if you seriously improve your infrastructure. This kinda thing is long term investments.
