Looks good. Though I doubt most of you will get the "what a talkative sausage" joke. But I'm sure of you can spam like a butcher

This won't be used then?

The war with PEACE continues within predicted successpercentages.
Although the reoccuring space time continuum breeches have lowered the total victory percentage with 37.5629 % (assimilation of all PEACE members), the victory percentage is now calculated at a near perfect 98.8961 % (assimilation of all PEACE bases).

After an unfortunous incident in the Hive embassy (the ambassador was accidently nerve-stapled by testing such a newly developed CPU device for trading purposes), the Hive has decided to abandon the pact with CPU for the time being.
Regrettable as this incident is, we hope we can continue to cooperate with the Hive.
CPU wishes ambassador [don't now for sure, Jamski? ] a swift recovery and no noteworthy brain-damage as a result of his fullhuman curiosity.

If you use this paragraph, copy then the text here, it has a correction in it ('unfortunous')

This text should come AFTER the story about HMB and Shrine of Tassadar.

**** this text can only be put in 3D if we conquer Pampalona this turn, and it's not a report from me (I'm off to Calico now) ****

Following item just came in from war reporter GeoModder

Total elimination of Calico defenses by our cruisers was done prior to our taking of the base, but disappearances are reported among the civilian population.
According to Calico governor records, a colony pod was dispatched to Yardarm Island before our forces were within reach. According to the fleet commander will this not noteworthy delay the conclusion of PEACE assimilation.

Two little suggestions:

While being in hell, a team of delegates led by Obstructor and Maniac managed to persuade Tass into restoring CyCon into existence.

into: Obstructor Omicron-9 and Mani Alpha-3

This year CPU unified forces have established a strategic important spearpoint on the PEACE island west of Liar's Lair.

How about, to win future propaganda wars, we start calling our military the Allied Forces? And count all our enemies towards the Axis. We could also start calling ourselves "the Free South" (instead of the Free West), and if in the future there is a conflict between CPU and Hive-Drones, call it a battle of democracy against totalitarianism. (Calling it a battle of capitalism against communism would be rather silly, because we believe in a communist God and because, despite going FM, the CyCon share a collective consciousness and thus will always be the most communalist faction on Chiron.)

[Illuminatus]

Two things - thanks Geo for edited version since I hate looking for mistypings. Text shall be added if we capture the base. I will pronounce Kassad as the reporter .
Nice touch Maniac with names.

But I am worried that if we start to call ourselves allies hordes of members will swarm to Hive-Drones (everyone loves bad guys). But definetly Allies with some kind of added name. Will post here as soon as we edit it. Must put DEMOCRACY and remind of Hive secret forum scandal for the max effect.

[Illuminatus]

BTW it will be finished tommorow. i know I promise a lot but this is true!

[Maniac]

Great! I'm currently busy writing the article about going free market btw. Hopefully it will be finished too tomorrow, though I won't promise anything to be safe. But as long as we release the 3D before we send the turn to PEACE, there shouldn't be a problem as far as I see.

[Maniac]

Here it is. Hopefully it's not too long.




The Philosophical Corner

After a few 3D Issues without them, the 3D Editorial Office presents a new edition of the Philosophical Corner. In this Issue our Prime Function Mani Alpha-3 discusses the political, philosophical and theological consequences of our recent change towards a free market economy:


As you have read in this 3D Issue PEACE has once again been heavily defeated in battle, losing two bases this year: The war against PEACE has now almost come to its conclusion. And with that an era in our history on Chiron. Thus minds started to ponder about our future after PEACE’s defeat; the question arose what road to follow next.

There were scientific studies, lengthy and rational debates between many cyborgs, massive computer simulations by Athena, and so on. But finally we have reached a conclusion on what course to follow: On Mission Date 21570223 the Collective Assembly, the parliament of the Consciousness, officially accepted a series of laws liberalizing our economy. We have moved more towards an economic type called a “free market”.

This may look odd at first to any rational thinking human, especially since the Consciousness due to its telepathic bonds, collective consciousness etcetera, will always be the most communalist faction of all on Planet. And after all, it is more efficient to work with each other to achieve one common goal instead of competing against each other, such as in a free market. However the problem is that despite our advanced scientific methods we cannot predict a full 100% the results of our actions, and thus determine what is the most efficient action to reach a chosen goal.

Therefore it is rational not to dedicate all our resources and talents on the same project, just in case the project decided on by the Collective Assembly might not be the most efficient one after all to reach a certain goal. Instead we now allow individual citizens, or groups of citizens, to start “cooperatives” - a nineteenth century socialist invention - to test things (technologies, products…) out on their own, determine their efficiency, and bring them on the market to test what other cyborgs think of them. By the processes of competition and trial-and-error it would become clear what cooperative is most efficient and provides the best product and service. The methods of that cooperative will then be generalized to the whole faction, and the members of that cooperative will be rewarded and get a higher social status within the Consciousness.

It is of course true that besides many successful cooperatives there will be some failures. Those will waste precious resources that could otherwise have been spent on more useful projects. During the PEACE war we could not afford any precious resources spent on free cooperative experiments that had an unknown chance of success. Thus the Collective controlled all resources centrally. But now that is no longer the case, and it has been calculated that the surge in creativity inherent to a free cooperative market system will more than make up for the slight decrease in industry.

Due to the Fullhuman’s inherent need for categorization, many economists will from now on call us a “free market”. However it should be pointed out that we cannot be equalled to free market economies such as the USA on Old Earth. We still have and will always have a strong government providing free education, health care, public transport, cybernetic implants, datalink access, etcetera.
Also on Old Earth greed and personal profit was the motive for many humans in a free market. This is not the case for cyborgs. Since we share a collective consciousness, what is the good for the individual, is good for the whole collective; and what is good for the collective, is good for every individual cyborg. We perform our duty not for greed, but because we realize that our efforts will contribute to the common good of both ourselves and the Consciousness.

All this proves that we have not forgotten Lord Tassadar’s Sixth Commandment “Thou shalt dedicate thyself to communism, thy belief system of your Lord Tassadar”. We are still Children of the Garden of Eden of Communism, and will strive to further Lord Tassadar’s cause on Chiron.

I don't have a quarrel with you, Obstructor. I only use the tone of your posts to do a little extravagant RP. Nothing more. But if it makes you feel like I have something against you, BAM, I ease down.

You're making good contributions to this team, and as reporter, I'm more then willing to give you copy.

Great Issue, I love it.
But let it be read by a english tongued member. Still some text errors in it. I'm not sure if I missed those or a wrong copy is used.

[Illuminatus]

Hmmm. There are some problems when viewing photos and Issue will go in two posts (since it totals about 23000 chars). I hope to finish it tommorow finaly, when i fix prob with the images and check speeling + add unfinished sections.

[Maniac]

Just reread the updated 3D. It keeps getting better!

Wiseman`s Column:

Wiseman Yoda-Iota-Five




Has the war with PEACE won been? Have secured south we? Time of war over is? What we do now? We celebrate? Or for defence we prepare? Many thoughts for me.
Another topic is: democracy or police state is? In society that logical is, CPU like is, democracy best is, but is it good in Hive like? Or police state better for Hive is? Maybe for CPU too is. Or not is.
We communist are. So we free market introduce. This is good. Need to know youreself before face street vendor.
Planned economy in one thing better is: commercial there aren`t any.
Apologize to Micha do I. His pants that weren`t. That Tassadar`s pants were. Ways of the God indeed strange are.
Ey - why another philosopher in this Issue are? Complained who that I boring am? What! That Impossible is? What means that sack I get? Interest not?
Please write to editor you?
