There was a total of 1 message there yesterday. You're right: the alliance needs new leadership.

Well, the glorious colony of Agentia (originality FTW!) is off to a slow start. So a question: What exactly should I be doing? Right now I'm buying up AIs so I can build more mines. Is this a good direction to head in to start raking in the cash? Or should I be building housing to support more taxpayers?

I think Housing is the best way to start.

A mix of both, really. The prices of both AI and housing go up with the number that you already have. And if you just keep buying housing, eventually you will reach the point where you don't get any profit off of taxes because your life support costs are so high.

Mines give a better 'net profit' ratio on a day-to-day basis, but they can only be bought as you accumulate AI so they are much more expensive to acquire. A mix of housing and mines is probably better than going for only mines.

Ok, I'm going mainly for housing at the moment, and investing whatever I have left over in AI. Any rough ideas on when I should switch my priorities around?

Someone named 'Empire of Arcadia' has just joined The Paladines, and he's in the midst of an aggressive war against two members of the BORG alliance. Who is this guy? Does someone in The Paladines know him? Or is he just trying to use us as cover?

Well, that's not the only colony attacking it seems. And I don't know if either of them just joined for cover or if they were already in... the alliance has been at 19 for the past few days, and that's what it's at now.

I'm not so sure I'm going to be staying in The Paladines. It doesn't seem to be going anywhere, and I've been either #1 or #2 for a long time now, and nobody else seems to be catching up. Not sure where I would go... maybe I'll try to figure out who the recruiters of some of the other alliances are and have them try to convince me which to join privately (so I don't need to go about advertising on the LW forums openly).
