CMN's Pontifications

Does this mean if we can publicly post encrypted messages to the CyCon we can have dicuss potential alliances?

Assuming ofcourse that we don't PM or email the encryption method between ourselves.

Well according to GooglieGod (at least my understanding) you don't even need any encrypted messages as long as it's in the public forum. But do we really want to act like we are THAT anxious? Especially since we are now at the bottom of the power graph, could somebody interpret this anxiousness to be lack of self-confidence? We want to form alliance but we also want to be valued by our allies don't we?

If you flirt with them they think you are attractive, if you seriously tell them that you need them then they feel you are annoying. Aren't all man like this?

I'd balk at aiming a message to a specific faction before meeting them. But, saying that, in RP'ing - assuming that the Hive wanted to reach the CyCon who they knew were somewhere on Planet, the Hive could embed a message within Pravda - which could be read by all, wherever the "winds of Chiron" blew the newspaper (assuming it'd survive 200 kph winds !!). So an encrypted one I'd think would be verging on "bending the rules"

Or there'd be some itinerant hermits who refused to affiliate with any faction - sorta like the European minstrels of the middle ages - who'd carry the newspaper with them and stumble on another faction's base and thus they'd see Pravda.

Wouldn't have the commlink #, so no head-to-head talk could ensue, nor the co-ordinates of the Hive HQ or bases, but could have an "open letter to all survivors of the UNS Unity" or some such drivel

I guess it could even go as far as to rail against the scientific eggheads who brought about the catastrophe, and appeal to the workers of the Drones and the Pirates to think kindly of their Hive brethren (or vice versa)

But I think the key should be that it could be read by all, thus no encoding and no PMs or e-mails or chat room discussions.

That'd be in the spirit of RP'ing. But to discuss a specific item like a potential pact, or tech lines of research would be counter to the spirit of the game
