Accept Jamski in the Consciousness?

[Drogue]

I feel for Jamski too. But his current actions are not helping. I hope this is sorted out though, Jamski's a nice guy.

I agree completely with Googlie

[Kody]

Also why dose everyone thinks he has been feeding us vast sums of information and is about to give us passwords and other highly illegal stuff. We would never accept such contraband in the first place, its blatently illegal. Is our public image that bad?

At the time yes.

Hrmm maybe I shouldn't have listen to tassadar so much about the whole spy issues. Maybe I took him too serious.

Maybe we should try to offer him an asylum

And it looks like there's more proof that I've misjudged people.

Forget I mentioned anything about moving jamski to the cycon. If Voltaire wants to bring it up again he can do that.

The odd one out isn't Jamski, he fits right in with the faction, it's me.

From Kody. And Kody has left the Hive once again.

Yeah, I should have nevered even considered the possibility of removing Jamski out of the Hive. Where was my loyalty to a friend.

I realised that while I made great progress for the Hive that great progress was detrimental to the team. My actions didn't encourge team play, and I need to stay away long enough so that team play developed.

So that's what I did, and I was right. They eventually did manage to gain long term stability, although the Hive was nolonger as quirky and interesting place to be.

[Snowflake]

I was the one who opposed moving Jamski to the CCs. I have till today believed in his love to the Hive. He may have done things that was not so good in the end result for the Hive, but I never doubted his intention for one minute.

The Hive never really managed to gain any long term stability. The only stability I have to say is myself, and Voltaire, actually. But the Hive has always been a nice place to be. Jamski is the one who first made the Hive such a quirky and interesting place. And so many others. The gameplay may not be effecient but we were high in spirit. Impaler was so wrong in thinking that the good spamming does not do good to a team.

When Kody first gained superiority I fighted hard against him. I sent Voltaire multiple PMs accusing him being LinBiao (Mao's vice chairman who planned an unsuccessful coup). I forwarded all those PMs to Jamski when he came back from ceiling painting, and was misunderstood by him and thus caused a three way conversation among Voltaire, Jamski and Tass, when Jamski accused me of running some kind of conspiracy. You can all read the chat transcript in the IC stories.

Jamski convinced me that Kody was alright and I started to trust him. And we had a brief golden age. But then the team activity has started to die down because Kody was so effecient, just as I predicted to Voltaire. When Kody realized it he tried to take on a teaching role, but people just got lazy. The Hive never recovered its golden age no matter if Kody quit from the team, or come back for the team.

And then we lost many good Hiverians, and either the temporary but frequent retirement of Kody or the periodical inactiveness and later defecting of Jamski did any good to the team. I reckon although they are friends who values and respects each other, one never really accepted the other's right to be the most prominent member in the team. And thus the feelings were hurt by each other. And they never were able to really work together. I had tried to be a facilitator, but I was never too successful in uniting people together.

But I don't know why, I still feel the Hive is the best team. And we have the best teamates. I really do love each and every one of them.

[Snowflake]

I realize you never did see those PMs Kody. I just looked for them and I have deleted them and I couldn't find them in the downloaded files too. I hope Voltaire or Jamski still have them. I really want you to read them.

[Kody]

It's okay Honghu, I never really noticed you fighting against me. I was too busy squeezing extra ECs out of the turn to notice.

[Snowflake]

Ok I'll let you in a little more secret. Remember the Roko scheme? You told Voltaire that Roko tried to get you on his side by offering you a job. I asked Roko about that and he denied it. I then PMed Voltaire something like this:

I have been thinking after we chatted last night. And I have felt some kind of growing worries for you dear Chairman. If I could be so bold please bare with me. Looks to me you are more and more like Chairman Mao in his late years, surrounded more and more by people who are less trustworthy and farther and farther away from those people you should trust. (This is kept from the IC. Then I wrote more: ) Imagine some one, whose fanaticism toward the game would actually cause him to lie in order to gain the power and trust he needs. ... The newly budding democracy are murdered and people's voices are muffled. When everybody loses his interest in the game, it will be your turn...

Remember the chat we had when you say you were "sitting at the fence"? You were trying to see if I was bought by Roko and I was trying to get from you if you have lied. Oh what fun time it was ...

[Snowflake]

That chat was the first time I started to get to know you I think. And when I really get to know you better I realize boy how wrong I was before.

[Kody]

Actually I'm very impressionable. You see Voltiare had been talking to me about Rokossovky and how he would try and take over. Two days later Rokossovky offered me a job and I turned it down because I thought Rokossovky might have been trying something. Looking back I don't actually think Rokossovky was trying anything.

Just like now that I look back I think I was largely wrong about the cycon. Won't go into who was talking to me.

I really was sitting on the fence, because I always avoid conflict if I can and was pretty sure I could avoid it. If was trying to see if you were brought by Roko, then it was because I'm insanely curious about everything (that conversation was a bit hazy for me though). At the time my only strong loyalty was to Vev who was completely netural, and a partial loyalty to Voltaire because I believe in following the command structure.

[Hercules]

It is amazing how you guys can threadjack

[Illuminatus]

Herc! Welcome in CC. Just don't mind all the anti-pirate stuff here. This was only a game . BTW how about some authorising ?

[Kody]

Well I learnt how to threadjack in the Hive, because everyone would do it all the time there. There were threadjacks of threadjacks in the Hive.

[Maniac]

I guess what Hercules just did was in fact a threadjack of a threadjack.

[Snowflake]

In fact this is exatly the reason why we did the shaddow ministry. You see any thread if started to discuss some serious game related issues it will end up about half accross the planet. But guess what I really loved the spamming too.

[MrWhereItsAt]

Nobody go authorising Ming or Dan... Sometimes I'm amazed the turn was actually played.

[GeoModder]

Spam at your hearts contents, and the rest will follow...
Mmm, nice one for a sig...
