PEACE-CyCon war: strategic planning office

[Drogue]

We can't contact them until we meet them anyway, so the point is mute. However if we meet them, I will be very nice to GT/Archaic and hope we can strike up an arrangement. I think PEACE won't like it, but we have more to offer them than PEACE, especially by then, since we will have a couple of PEACE bases IMHO.

[Phenix]

Yea, we should be friendly to any other factions we're going to encounter...

One war is more than enough IMHO

For the moment Maybe one war at a time

[Nubclear]

Once you break the backs of those pirate scums, can you (as the controlling faction) approve me into their forums? Even though you won't use their forums....It's still a nice thing you can do

I'll even give you a recent hit up here in heaven, "101 Ways to Skin a PEACE Parrot" for free! Aren't I nice?

[Phenix]

Our cause is just, we've even got a god on our side

[Drogue]

That's a point, do we get to read their forum if we capture them? SInce we have the ability to access their networks (why we have techsteal) we really should, RP wise. What are the rules concerning this? And yes Tassadar, you will be authorised if we do get their forum.

[Phenix]

I think it would be very fair and logical to get access to their forum if a faction becomes the equivalent of a submissive AI...

[DeathByTheSword]

the turn has just been posted....PEACE is going to be PISSED when they find out...

Seeing the new situation where we don't have NonlMath, may I suggest we temporarily scrap the plan to build land marine units? Instead, as suggested in the "Attention Urgently Needed - New Developments" thread, I would propose to start a probe war. To that end, I would suggest starting production on a Plasmasteel Cruiser Transport in Boolean Bay or Aurora as soon as the current production in one of that bases is finished; and build a 23-8 in Pi Square. I would suggest rushing the production of those units with a crawler nearby. In the other bases I would propose building two 0-1-1 probe defences (to use against sea bases) and 0-1-2 two probe teams (to use against land bases - IIRC land probe teams can't probe from water to land so they have to unload first, making giving them 2 movement points necessary).

[Drogue]

See my proposal in the Urgent thread. But yes, that is almost identical I would like to use only 1 crawler though, since another is going to Logic Loop, and the others are needed IIRC.

On the propaganda side of the upcoming war, I've been trying to put together a rendition of "What would you do with a drunken sailor?". So far, I have the following two verses:

DeathByTheSword in the old town centre
Lock him in a room with a well-armed Maniac

however I'm having difficulty coming up with more verses. Does anybody have any good ideas?

[Maniac]

Could you please give the original version in English? Then I'll see if I can come up with something.

I've seen lots of alterations on the lyrics, including

Shave his belly with a rusty razor
and
Put him in bed with the captain's daughter

Essentially anything that fits the pattern.

BTW, the music kicks in after the wave sounds if you wait long enough (it's pretty easy to hear how the lyrics fit in).

[Googlie]

I'm not sure if I've posted this tip already - if I have, please forgive

In the interests of fair faction advice-giving .....

A couple of turns ago, to help a faction that was temporarily labour-impaired, I downloaded and posted the various base screens for one of their pactmates, and made the throw-away line "Someone with more graphic skills than I could probably cobble together a pactmate's map from those screens."

It is possible as I've seen it done.

The exact base locations? How would they know even which bits are land and which are sea, that are unexplored? We could try that with out old infilitration of PEACE. It would help greatly with the war effort.
