I think we're doing pretty well considering we're not Fin, Yossarian. We might have made a mistake by choosing a non-Fin leader, since our benefit from Exp is at a standstill as long as we can't really settle many more cities at this time due to our stagnant economy. Currency should alleviate some of our current problems though.
That said; I'm sure the masterminds around here can help us improve on our play of course. But mainly we need three things for that to happen more often:
1. More tips on how to write interesting posts in this thread. I guess we've been doing it dull so far with just static turn reports (even though I enjoy those since they are informative, I guess they get boring to others).
2. Summarising the diplo better instead of just posting the letters.
3. Getting some actual lurkers to then read our thread regularly and enjoy the reads.
@WilliamLP & Krill: Your comments in the thread is very very welcome, and not derailing at all, as what you are debating is highly interesting. Also, it's activity in our thread from RB regulars, which gives me hope that we can still turn at least our thread into an enjoyable experience that people want to read and comment on. So thank you both for taking the time to comment here.

As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master. - Commissioner Pravin Lal, "U.N. Declaration of Rights"
