if the redeem link or button is still there click again!
you should get a popup that an email with code has been sent

It's not there. It's telling me it's redeemed (changed to that immediately).

I couldn't find an actual contact link anywhere in the game, so I posted in the Baen Bar about it, in a thread where a couple of other people have had similar issues ... I guess I'll see what happens.

surplus pop gifts welcome, am trying to push up pop while collecting money for levelups.

Actually I'm making 3.1 million bucks per cycle @lev 16
unneeded asset gridplaces are filled with ansible links that makes 100k per cycle and will pay themselves off in 8 cycles.

as far as I see it now raising buck/cycle through pop/food management is the only way to be able to level and ally on.
will post my asset layout on the alliance thread

Are there any Projects after Level 6? I think that was the last one that had any. 7, 8 and 9 have not had any, and I was just wondering if they came back?

There are not any projects at the higher levels (yet); that's part of why there's such a jump in cost to go up levels.

I learned that it is only natural for people to stop reproducing when they are kept in the dark as punishment for excess dope.

How do you see the ansible links are creating 100k/cycle, is that because you have 35-40 of them? It looks to me like mine are only making 2635/cycle each, because my political alignment has a 15% political/asset hit. For me, that's a 10 cycle hit, and another 6 or so cycle hit per level. I almost wonder whether I should just raise the thorium reactors and the bug juice plantations that I need to keep food and energy for my populations, and maybe my two anti-matter towns in the corners, and ignore the rest from now on.

Sure is a jump. Over 1 million buck to go from level 9 to level 10!

I have just joined my 20th Alliance, and got another coupon, so I was obviously lucky enough to just get in under the change to 25.

You probably need to work on increasing your population. I think it took me a couple of days because I also added another ally which was another 9 million buck hit. I'm currently level 14, with a little over 100,000 population and I'm now getting just over 2 million bucks a cycle. If you've got at least 10 thorium reactors and a bug juice at your current level in the quick surge squares, you should be able to grow your population by at least 2k-4k every cycle you're playing.
