Debate: Policy re: Morgan

I approve of TKG's plan. Pacting with Morgan would get our commerce off to a strong start, and ensure us an ally should we run afoul of Believers and/or Hive. My own preference is to try and make a Pact as soon as possible, and to replace our explorers with Probe Teams and transports. Once we have no combat units out of our territory, we can switch to FM. If Morgan won't Pact until then, fine, but if we initiate FM after the Pact, it will extend the alliance's lifespan.

Should we be in a position in the future to make Morgan a submissive, all we'll have to do is switch to Green or Planned, and let monopoly capitalism's nature assert itself.

Best plan I've read so far...

Infiltrate with probe teams. Stay civil, if he gets pushy we take a base and convert him into a submissive pact mate.

BTW can someone post an updated map pic for me? or does anyone know where I can see the current status of our faction without going into the game?

Go to the 2167+ report thread. TKG posted a mass of screenshots there.

infiltrate and keep as ally... we should try to remain honorable and be a trade partner to him... not stab him in the back... if there are any other factions on Planet left they may not look too kindly on us if we stab a friend in the back during a treaty...

I'm not advocating that we do that. Just that we should give some thought to the possibility of attacking him later. Of course, we'd have to find a legitimate reason first...

Of course, we'd have to find a legitimate reason first...

Being representant of the UN, we are the only legitimate faction on Planet.

[GeneralTacticus]

That alone is no excuse to start a war.

[Pandemoniak]

No, of course not. But our reasons are the only legitimate reasons. We are what remains of the UN.

[GeneralTacticus]

What?

[Pandemoniak]

forget it, I was quite out of my senses anyway...

[GeneralTacticus]

Quite.
