Summary of the ACDG

Enigma_Nova · June 13, 2004, 11:20

I don't want to read through 18 months of forum posts.
Can the Faction historians give me an overview of what's happened thus far?

Also, is there a summary for the teams / rules to date in the ACDG3?

Kody · June 13, 2004, 11:22

Hrmm what are people interested in knowing?

I'm planning on reading every post anyway. Although from the looks of things Pirates tended to email their more vocal conversations and Cycon edited posts to remove information.

AFAIK we only removed a conversation between Drogue and me long ago, and I edited away some of my posts where I told some bad things about you or the Pirates.

However for the rest all the diplomatic and strategic decisions etcetera are fully open.

Kody · June 13, 2004, 11:51

I actually never posted bad things about people. Well maybe that's going a little too far. Rather I never flamed people, and tended to keep my mouth south when I was upset.

Although I grumbled to Honghu and Voltaire.

Edit:
and they're not the kind of people to jump at someone's opinion and do something rash.

Kody · June 13, 2004, 11:54

You forget to edit the post about editing all the incriminating posts by the way. You know the one where you said you'll systematically go through threads cleaning them and make a list of clean threads.

Maniac · June 13, 2004, 12:30

I never intended to edit that post. It was just a suggestion that, under the possibility that some Pirates would want to join us, that we should edit some posts to avoid throwing oil on the fire. Since no one joined us, it wasn't necessary.
However back then I did make a list of threads of bad opinion expressions about PEACE just in case. Here are the urls in case you want to have a special look:

People take this too seriously. This was a game, relax people.

Kody · June 13, 2004, 13:12

Actually I've read quite alot of your forum already, I spent 16 hours at it and didn't finish though.

Your attempt to make me touch on the subject of the peace trading is futile. I wanna keep my head intact and it isn't my battle at all.

Kody · June 13, 2004, 13:17

Maniac buried me in PMs is all I say.

GeoModder · June 13, 2004, 14:58

You're not the first he tries to persuade on commenting the peace trading. Jamski was there before...

There once were 5 factions

Then there were 4.

Then 3.

Then only 2

GeoModder · June 13, 2004, 15:34

And then the dogfighting began?

Nubclear · June 13, 2004, 15:35

Not according to my sources

Whoha · June 13, 2004, 16:01

Also what are the passwords?

I'm not trying to get any comments from Kody about PEACE. Kody posted something about me not editing a post which suggested to delete PEACE-negative (so not "incriminating"

) opinions and I just replied.

/me shrugs.
Whatever.

Nubclear · June 13, 2004, 17:26

Now now, get along everybody

Snowflake · June 13, 2004, 20:48

If somebody feels that things they said in the past may not be pleasant if certain other people read them, and so choose to edit them out. I do not see why they shouldn't do that. I'd view this reflects their good intentions of not making people upset unnecessarily, which means they care about the other people.

Kody · June 13, 2004, 21:42

But how about honesty?

I did my best to avoid posting about specific people in the forums, I was very curious whether those people returned the favour. However, I guess I'll never know now.

So far I'm only aware of my own critism towards a player in one post made in the drone embassy after the whole "I'm actually a peace member not a cycon" thing. Aside from that I think I directed any critism towards cycon rather than specific players with my posts.

Not really. Pretty much everything we did, with obviously a few, but not many exceptions, is in the forum.

btw thanks Kody for all your comments

Snowflake · June 13, 2004, 23:45

I understand, Kody. Think about it this way. The best one could hope for is for other people to completely understand him/her. But that is never possible. The second best one could hope is for others although may not be completely understanding and agreeing, but respect him/her enough to refrain from posting many comments that may sometimes feature perhaps unfair criticisms. The third one could hope is for others to understand him/her better with time and to realize that some of their earlier comments may not be appropriate and so choose to edit them. The last one would hope for is for other people to totally misunderstand him/herself, and to not care whether the criticisms/comments are true or fair.

We all want to know the entirety about what happened in the past. However what happened in the past IS past. We can still leave it in the past, even if we may not know the entirety of the past.

Kody · June 14, 2004, 00:01

Oh can't we talk about this after I sue them for defamity.

They had the planetary energy grid for a long time so they must be loaded!

Kody · June 14, 2004, 00:14

Oh one thing I found funny while reading the peace forum. Alot of the diplomatic messages the Hive sent the Peace were to do with our "team has stopped rioting" we're now open for trade. It sort of says how often Hive had internal problems.

Kody · June 14, 2004, 01:29

Wow, apparently people thought that most trades I put together were really good. Although they had other reasons for not wanting to trade.

The only exception was when I attempted to trade with the Cycon. It eventually came down to begging my team mates to gift Doctrine Loyalty to the Cycon for free, because we couldn't find anything we really wanted. Ofcourse I didn't manage to get much support for that.

Kody · June 14, 2004, 01:39

pffttt

Now I find out that with both Peace and university we always got considered last with the tech trading just because we were organised contacted them several turns beforehand.

University:
I advise we answer them pretty soon, since they proposed the deal a few months ago and haven't heard back from us at any point, if I'm not mistaken. Still, I wouldn't accept the deal, and I would rather trade with the PEACE or the CyCon.

Also a few months wasn't exaggerating.

Sorry, most funds went in Xchoppers...

CyCon might be convinced to let one of the remaining ones open some containers in your backyard when sunbathing...

What I'm not going to tell him.

- cycon, they leak information mainly through posts in public forums.

- pirates, we know they're up to something when hercules logs on looks around and logs off again without doing his turn. When the pirates got IA IB and IE within 2-3 years, hercules was logging in and out like a husband to an expecting mother.

- university, archaic seems to shun the boards most of the time unless there's some important matters occuring. Whenever something big is going down in the university archaic remains online for hours at a time. Otherwise he logs on looks around and is gone within 30 minutes.

Heh I found this....

Snowflake · June 14, 2004, 10:14

Oh my it looks like Kody is really in a working mood.

But,

Where is the infamous Hello thread?

Micha · June 14, 2004, 10:15

Wow, Kody, you must have a lot of time...

Kody · June 14, 2004, 10:16

Argghh there's too many threads!!!!!!

I'm going insane.

Okay note there are large gaps in the above.
