Just found out I was supposed to do one of these things.

Hi! I'm EnergyKnife, a High School student from the United States. About a year ago, I got spore thinking it would be a great game with lots of a scientific base, however, I was wrong and found that much of it was based on nothing. I found out about this project fairly recently and got an account as soon as I found the forum. I like how it is going and feel like I can contribute. I have a large background in macroeconomics pertaining to the fact that my father has a PhD in the subject. Currently, I am taking classes from the Penn State (it's a college for those who don't know) section of Corsera (an online tool that lets you take classes for free) on that very subject. I believe I can help the economic section of the later game. Though I know we are currently working on the early game, I will continue giving ideas until I am needed for a larger task.

Welcome!

Its good to see you have posted some contributions already. Economic help for the later game would be appreciated, but as you guessed it has been put on hold more or less with my finishing exams and the current work on Microbe.
