Welcome to the THIRD 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 (for a third time?), especially now that C slots will be fully utilized 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 and overhauling early boat designs, 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. If you don't have your old techs on there, I will not approve your tech until they are. Also you should add any trade partners you have to the box.

/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)

As ongoing policy, 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.

This week, any tech that a culture started with (either tech group or flavor) can be stollen at a reduced cost. Main techs in B slots, Minor techs in C slots.

For stealing techs, please say the number/numbers of the cultures you are stealing from. It makes our jobs much easier.

LET THE TECH COMMENCE!
