The Recreation Commons

[Kassiopeia]

I think that to a certain extent, the Anti-Drone Slush Fund could be used to curtail some of the costs. So lower prices, but not free drinks.

goverment lowered drinkprices thats a first! i like it!

[- Groucho -]

One fungal gin martini, please, extra seed pods. It's been a hard morning down at the network node.

DBTS, i think i'll put that in the "Great civ quotes wanted" thread in the community forum. so guess what? one day you'll submit a post and you'll get a screen saying:

"here's something to think about while you wait..."

TYP YOU OWN F***ING CONSTITUTION!

but what does everone think of attacking other factions for territory. i have been watching DGcivIII and they did that 2 times and the second time plunched in a 3 front war because of alliances. so i am not a person that is to happy with the idea. but i think it will happen what do you al think?

EDIT:

TKG, my thoughts exactly. It's a born classic.

We should avoid conflict at any reasonable cost. If someone comes to us and asks us either to give them an insane amount of dosh or to have a vendetta, I'm cool. But I don't think we should start wars ourselves - the AI will handle that in it's time, all we have to do is wait.

[Maniac]

I drink to that!

Echinda, sorry I kept you waiting for your drink! Here's your gin martini, with some extra peanuts. That would be 0.0001 energy credits please.

I think I'll install a drink automat as I can't be present at all times.

nae, I have a feeling that this will stay on the top for good.

Btw, remember the 500-post limit. My suggestion is that after this thread makes it to 500, we leave it be and start a new one, accordingly named 'The Recreation Commons II". Any humour re: the name could be appreciated too, however.

If it doesn't stay near the top, then we've got problems.

Or we could recall it the Hologram Theatre, or Paradise Garden, depending on the technology level we have reached by then.

I prefer that, Kass, Maniac...

May I suggest "fungal gin" as the local brand for this rec commons? You can leave to your own imagination if there's alcohol in it.

I'll drink to that *raises glass*

Though I doubt you'll see me divert from that once I figure out how to make my own Cherry Pepsi on this new planet and start marketing it

One gin and water coming up!

Now that would be an interesting mix...

Why do you think I brought my own keg?

Oh, of course it will... a new planet, few understood resources... differing ideals among factions... there's bound to be some scuffles, though I'm more of a attack if attacked kind of guy. That, and I don't want to have to constantly clone my children, thank you... I'd prefer to keep them in tip-top shape with the refresher pods...

And that's what the Uni gets for thinking that computers can rule their faction ... though you're probably right.

*slurred for the fun of it * I'll drink to that!

The Merchant Exchange officially had enough support to open up, so I think I'll grab my Pepsi and wander over there and see if there are any ideas floating around.

I have some nice Talisker, a gift from Lady Deirdre before Captain Markos has been murdered. Anyone fancy a drink ?

(Talisker is a scottish whisky, while Deirdre is a scottish faction leader... er, you know who Deirdre is)

[DeathByTheSword]

I KNOW who Deirdre is. YES i do

[Pandemoniak]

Yeah, but she offered nice whisky to me a green marxist, not to you free marketer

Now, as I'm a Director of Foreign Affairs, it might not be too appropriate for me to "vetää aivan tajuttomat perseet" (a Finnish phrase... it pretty much means what it sounds like) here...

But since you do serve alcohol... I'll take a Chiron-Redberry-Cocktail. And keep it down to appropriate levels

[Maniac]

And to an evil Chinese maoist?
