@Gaunathor - After reading your post, I do remember early game Magnar had meditation on this city as well.

Oh thats why I haven't noticed it

On high essence city I usually have meditation and inspiration running.

edit: Ha, i just talked to one of our devleopers about this and she said she noticed this problem a few days ago and fixed it, no wonder i cant repro it.  So it will be fixed in the patch.

Ha, I'll take bug fixes however they happen.  But yes she was working on something related and fixed it when she saw the logic was incorrect.  That's the sign of an amazing developer.  And in further defense of her I'm sure she detailed the change in her changelog email and I may not have read it as closely as I should have.

We have a great company culture.

Yesterday we had a chili cookoff, and there are some great cook's here at Stardock (Tater Chorizo Chili was awesome!).  But the best part is just hanging out with Brad and the other Stardockians.  

The latest interaction on our shared channel:

[2:00:49 PM] Brad: Are all your tax changes in, Derek?
[2:00:52 PM] Brad: Was going to playtest.
[2:01:55 PM] Paul: They made it so only your taxes are higher now
[2:02:36 PM] Brad: Obama would approve

Discussion of the fix for the "mooning bandit" problem (clipping error when a bandit bends over)

[9/20/2012 4:52:39 PM] James: Derek I have the mooning bandit fixed if you want that checked in
[9/20/2012 5:53:57 PM] Derek: nah, dont want to change the mooning bandit yet
[9/20/2012 4:54:06 PM] James: hehe
[9/20/2012 4:54:13 PM] Derek: dont know what that may uncover
[9/20/2012 4:54:36 PM] Derek: keep him under wraps for now
[9/20/2012 4:54:55 PM] Sarah: don't want to be caught with our pants down when this next build goes up
