Welcome to the SECOND week of technology for Dawn Season 3! We are aiming for atleast 30% reduced rage and anger with the technology process this season, so hopefully you enjoy the new system. If you haven't read "How 2 Tech", you really should go do that. Some of you should probably re-read it, especially now that C slots will be utilized more this week.

Here is the tech Catalogue. ONLY USE THE FIRST PAGE! The others are various collections of all techs researched in S1, or previous attempts at sorting them. There may also be some errors in the first page, so be wary of that. We are still working on adding techs, so don't be surprised to see activity there.

Also, instead of everyone individually getting a tech sheet, we are having one Master Tech Sheet, with a tab for every player! There are a lot of tabs, so they are organized by claim number. The first several pages are templates, that have the various tech groups, and the proper categories for Personality techs. I WILL BE CHECKING YOUR TECH SHEETS THIS WEEK, so if you don't have your starting techs and Week 1 researches on there, I will not approve your tech until they are.

/u/Tefmon is going to be assisting with tech. Please ping him on your research posts. (you don't need to ping me, as I already get a notification for the reply)

The 1st week there was no penalty for being late with techs. This week, if you are late (after 11am EST next Monday) with your first submission of your techs (requires ALL your techs AND the rp for them), the penalty will be that you lose your A slots. Since A slots are the most RP intensive, I like to think I'm just making your lives easier for you <3. If you know that you will likely be late on tech for a reason ahead of time, send me a pm, you should be fine.

Since I know there is going to be questions on C slots, here is how they work. If two people you know have the same Minor tech, and atleast 1 of them has had it since first week, you can research it as a C slot. If two people you know have the same Major tech, and atleast 1 of them has had it since first week, you can research it as a B slot. You must have established trade with the other culture (through diplomacy or explo), and mention the people you steal tech from in the blurb for that tech.

LET THE TECH COMMENCE!
