Thanks.
ESA takes income. Flies rocket from Enceladus to Dione, forms colony on Dione and picks up stuff from the outpost.
Event is Election. Send me your bids. Please also let me know how many colonist votes you have.
Crap been busy myself and can’t check this for a few hours (recently had issues with DB crashing, so that might be it.

Yeah, I think DB had some connectivity problems. When I tried later, the files were there, so no worries. :)

Still need votes from PRC and Shmizu. I’ll be AFK for several hours.

UN bid of 7 is the winner. I bid zero… but it doesn’t matter what I bid, since I only have 2 WT!
I can’t do a file right now, but Grunden, you can go ahead and take your turn and make the necessary adjustments.
Yeah take 10WT away from me when you do your turn :P
I guess everybody else bid 0.

Sorry, yes. NASA bid 10, UN bid 7, everybody else bid 0.

Turn 50
Chaos, war, cats and dogs sleeping together, mass hysteria!
UN spends 7WT to regain power.
UN Crew free markets ‘C’ reactor for 4WT
Babbage Halbonots ET Produce ‘S’ reactor to rocket, abandoning the Luna outpost paying 1WT
1WT Robot income
Over to NASA: the harbinger of anarchy.
Anarchy is freedom!
[B]NASA IRSU refuels for 4 fuel tanks, moves rocket, does one income op for net 1WT.
Then nasa pays 1WT for an election op.
Please send your bids.[/B]
Still waiting for PRC and Shimizu (although we all know what they are going to bid :P )
BTW, sorry for all these elections delaying turns lately. It just was part of my strategy. Thankfully the blue sector is almost over.

Sorry! I totally missed that there was an election. My bid is in.
OK, UN wins the election. They bid 6WT, everybody else bid 0.
Grunden, what do you want to do with the politics marker?
Grunden
1854
Stays the same. I figured it was a “make Grunden spend money” op.
Just a note for the future: You totally could’ve punked me if you’d done the election as your first op. Then you would’ve had the potential for a SECOND election after the first.
I know, we have both made many mistakes in this game!!! It’s much easier in this game to see how you can get crushed than to see how to crush somebody else. For the postmortem I’m compilling a list of the stuff I think we all did wrong (other than rules mistakes :P).
Anyways, election is over. UN loses 6WT and marker stays put.
Over to PRC.
Mmmm, this weekend, starting tomorrow afternoon, I will be without internet, like, totally without any available connection.
With any bit of luck the game ends next week???
BTW, PRC still up.

Maybe I’ll flip the Vatican observers and activate the Footfall future…
You already have a colonist future. All you can get is a thruster future.

I wasn’t actually serious. :)
