HIVE diplomatic exchanges

[Maniac]

Should I tell them that we had the choice between go to war with the Hive or pay off the Angels with a lot of cash, and that we unanimously chose the latter? It might prove that CPU has no aggressive intentions.

Btw GeoModder, didn't Roze ask you in your parallel AI dip tests to declare war on the Hive?

[GeoModder]

You can tell them, but if they will believe you is a whole different matter.

And yes, that was the first question she thrown at me after contact. And only then did she ask ec's or tech after refusal of going to war.

Voltaire is preaching, even now. All this 'We consider you aggressive', 'we do not recognise your sphere of influence', 'we say these are international waters' is all rather arrogant sounding. I think we should take this to the public forum, and ask how legitimate all this unilateral decision-making is - just because the Hive says it is so, why should it be so? Voltaire, although seemingly Hive's rep, is doing more to damage Hive-CPU relations than anyone else ATM, and we should probably PM some other senior Hive members about this attitude problem of his. So we expect this when they have a problem (as in this whole Council/ceasefire with PEACE bs, but now they got their way and he is still showing his bias. He cannot be allowed to be a diplomat and continue to show this stance! :doitnow:

i saw lets play the cease fire thingy out and look where it will bring us...this give us time to redeploy our troops and reinforce all critical bases...

[Maniac]

Indeed, as mentioned to laurentius in the chat who agreed with it, I agreed to the ceasefire because it will take two years before we are able to attack Crossbone Way. In the meanwhile we could attempt negotiations, and if they fail we just do what we intended to do before: attack Crossbone.

[DeathByTheSword]

well from a roleplay point of view and the highly explosive situation the HIVE has created i am not sure it will be ok to take out PEACE...

[GeoModder]

So do I take it then that the people who voted to eliminate PEACE have changed their stance towards this issue?

I can agree with a PEACE survival if they keep out of our way and Crossbone Way becomes ours, but how many NAY voters can feel themself back in this proposal?

As or MWIA's remark about Voltaire: In my opinion it's just bigtalk because he's the chairman of his faction and he needs to show how stern he is in the face of a crisis. Also, there seems to be a schism within Hive for whether attacking us or not, and this ceasefire issue is nothing more then a facade to make both sides happy.

From a military point of view (I'm the MAF, thus... ), I must post a warning: this is the only time we have the means to destroy PEACE easily.

I'd suggest a new poll once we have more clarity about the location of the PEACE ship.

However I have seen others in your team conducting acts that may not be viewed as honorable by others.

Any idea what she's talking about?

[GeoModder]

Simply ask her. If she didn't thought that way beforehand, that it must be for one of the newcomers. (Me, Obstructor, Skanky...)

She must think of our badgering of Hive members. I think she cant stand little teasing from our team while Hive can put up a thread full of **** to annoy us (planetary council motion blah blah). I can stop it, but I am puzzled that Hive doesn`t approve some teasing in Trash Talking Thread while they openly claim we are aggresive warlords seeking to conquer Hive?

ATM, the only thing they can do is taking back a few ex-PEACE bases. Plenty of time to produce an army then, since most of our production still happens on the main land.

But that is a thought: Hive taking out our defenses in former PEACE bases, and the remaining PEACE schooner conquering them then.

But it is a fact that the posting Hive members ATM seem relaxed. It would indeed be a nasty surprise for us.
Btw, did you notice that Buster plays his turns quite quickly the last month?

From HongHu

Dear Function Maniac,

I was notified that the colony pod your captured is determined to be affected by an unknown planet virus that may be deadly and highly contagious. The Hive coastal guard had to take it out because it posed great potential threat to the Hive's security.

Comrade HongHu

[Impaler[WrG]]

Are they saying they destroyed our Colony Pod, &^%@^(^*&%!%@&*@()(&**$##$ HIVE!!! This means war!

[laurentius]

Wait up! Lets hear them first...and kill them later
