HongHu has been added to the conversation.

Kody says:
honghu you've been accepted for cycon diplomat
Kody says:
Congratulations!
HongHu says:
oh god
HongHu says:
lol
Voltaire says:
You should feel very proud.
HongHu says:
ok thanks
HongHu says:
yes dear chairman
Voltaire says:
The People have chosen you Comrade HongHu
HongHu says:
I'm feeling proud
Kody says:
We should put Jamski in charge of the university?
Voltaire says:
LOL, I like that.
Kody says:
Or maybe one of the others.
HongHu says:
I have one request dear chairman
Voltaire says:
I'd send them Tass if he were still with us.
HongHu says:
that you talk to jamski
Voltaire says:
Anything
HongHu says:
so he could withdraw his excution order
HongHu says:
that I could safely return to Hive
Voltaire says:
Tsk tsk tsk
HongHu says:
lol
Kody says:
execution order?
Voltaire says:
What has Jamski been up to...
HongHu says:
you guys don't read IC
Voltaire says:
The IC story
Voltaire says:
I just remembered.
HongHu says:
it is quite drastic now
Kody says:
I've been way too busy.
HongHu says:
he wants me dead
Kody says:
I've been out and about on a rover.
HongHu says:
I'm hiding in Drones
Kody says:
mapping and talking to mayors
HongHu says:
if chairman have time
Voltaire says:
Drive to Voltarograd, seek refuge in my private residence, you're always welcome there.
HongHu says:
maybe you could write a short ic post
HongHu says:
ok
HongHu says:

Voltaire says:
Do that, and then we will do another joint IC post
HongHu says:
ok
Kody says:
heh
Kody says:
when all the hubris dies down over the ingame
Kody says:
I'll need to read all that IC stuff
HongHu says:
and perhaps clear marshal from his "counterrevolution activity" too
Voltaire says:
I hope Jamski knew well what he was getting into.
Voltaire says:
Had harm come to you, and word reached my ears, which it would have.
HongHu says:
I think vev needs to murder him
Kody says:
lol
Voltaire says:
I will call a summit, all the senior Hive members shall come to Voltairograd.
Voltaire says:
In my private, I mean public, estate.
Kody says:
I think we need to start labeling MSN chats by dates
Voltaire says:
that would be a good idea
Kody says:
to see the opening of the PTS
HongHu says:
yes
HongHu says:
now I need directions with CC
Kody says:
because I couldn't fit all the topics we've talked about in the topic header.
HongHu says:
what diplomatic stance we are going to hold toward them
Kody says:
HGP is also openining in Feckin Tower.
Voltaire says:
Friendly
Voltaire says:
Extremely friendly
HongHu says:
are we going to pact
Voltaire says:
we want a pact with them if possible
Kody says:
we want to pact
Kody says:
however, non-critical information to be shared only.
HongHu says:
drones pact priortize cc possible pact?
Kody says:
at the moment drones pact priortises
HongHu says:
ok
Kody says:
however that may change
HongHu says:
ok
Voltaire says:
Just consern yourself with the CC pact
Voltaire says:
Don't bring up the Drones
HongHu says:
ok
Kody says:
if they ask, just say it's all undecided
Kody says:
which is it
HongHu says:
I will not try contact them until next turn if we get their comm link
HongHu says:
ok
Kody says:
we don't know how deep our pact with the drones may become.
HongHu says:
I agree
Voltaire says:
regardless of the Drone pact
Voltaire says:
push for a pact with the CyCon
HongHu says:
yes i will
Voltaire says:
if the permipact take effect
Voltaire says:
then we can use the cycon to our advantage
Voltaire says:
if not
Voltaire says:
then we can fall back on the CyCon
HongHu says:
we will have to choose between them eventually
Kody says:
if the permipact takes effect we'll try and get the drones to accept the cycon into the pact, (but not as a permipact member)
Voltaire says:
even if they dissagree
Voltaire says:
we will tell them that we are simply using the CyCon to our advantage
Voltaire says:
which would be the truth
Kody says:
no that's not what we should say
Kody says:
needs a different slant
Voltaire says:
or right
Voltaire says:
these are the drones
Kody says:
tell them that we're interested in the cycon as their ideology is compatiable to ours
Voltaire says:
something to the effect of how the CyCon can contribute to our research as a junior member of our alliance?
Voltaire says:
Will that work on the Drones?
Voltaire says:
This is Buster we're talking about
Voltaire says:
he plays to win
Kody says:
however that we will keep our word to the drones, and the drones' alliance is more important.
Voltaire says:
true
Voltaire says:
but we would technicaly be keeping our word with the drones, the pact with the CyCon is not perminant, and we'd share our gains from it with them
Kody says:
we just let them know if it came down to a choice, we would side with the drones.
Voltaire says:
granted it's a matter of semantics
Voltaire says:
and the Drones are you field
HongHu says:
we need to be careful not to make the drones suspect our intentions
Kody says:
with the cycon we don't mention permipact
Kody says:
just refer to it as a pact.
HongHu says:
at least not yet
HongHu says:
I agree
Kody says:
well the ideal situation is cycon-hive-drones win.
Voltaire says:
actually
HongHu says:
I'm not sure if buster will want to go for three faction win
Voltaire says:
i don't think the Drones would go for it
Voltaire says:
a 3 way win?
Kody says:
however, if there is a decision to be made
Kody says:
we would go for drone-hive
HongHu says:
that's why I said we will have to choose bt them eventually
Kody says:
since we've more deeply commited to the drones
HongHu says:
although situation may change so that we won't have to choose
HongHu says:
it would be chosen for us
Kody says:
that may occur
Voltaire says:
We could simply tell the drones that a pact with the CyCon would just be a pact, not a permipact, so we're in this to win with the Drones, the CyCon are a means to an end.
Kody says:
but you should make it so we are always telling the truth
Voltaire says:
the end being the victory of our two factions (i.e. us and the Drones)
Voltaire says:
That is the truth
Kody says:
don't call cycon a means to an end
Voltaire says:
if we permipact
Kody says:
that may make the drones think that maybe they're a means to an end
Kody says:
just say the drone's pact is stronger than the cycon one.
HongHu says:
hold
Voltaire says:
Sorry
Kody says:
I think the drones will understand that exactly for what it is.
Voltaire says:
let me clarify something
Voltaire says:
are you speaking of now?
Voltaire says:
or after (if) we permipact?
Kody says:
if we permipact
HongHu says:
back
Kody says:
until we permipact, cycon and drones are treated equally friendly
Voltaire says:
Alright
Voltaire says:
I get it
Voltaire says:
you want to put pressure on the Drones to permipact
Kody says:
that only happens after a week
Kody says:
if they start dragging their feet
HongHu says:
it is now a rather important turning point I think in drone-hive relationship
HongHu says:
if they go for permpact
HongHu says:
we'll stick together with them to the end
HongHu says:
if they hesitate
HongHu says:
that may mean we will apart eventually
Kody says:
if they hesitate we give them a little leeway
HongHu says:
No matter who we would part later, drones or cc,
Kody says:
then we start aiming to throw our weight with the cycon
HongHu says:
the parting is going to be painful
Voltaire says:
We should still pertend that we aren't aware of the Drone game
Voltaire says:
if they're stalling for time
Kody says:
it won't work
HongHu says:
we need to handle it with extremely care
Kody says:
it's too obvious that we met the drones
Voltaire says:
let them thing that we're ignorant of it
Kody says:
at the moment in the early stages I think we should give the impression they're just a trading partner
Kody says:
nothing more
HongHu says:
if cc asks
HongHu says:
I would have to say that we pacted
Voltaire says:
of course, nothing wrong with that
Voltaire says:
we just don't tell them about the permipact
Kody says:
depends on how they ask too
HongHu says:
but I will not say that we are into drones hive joint win
Kody says:
because sometimes if they don't ask the right way you can divert them.
HongHu says:
yes
Kody says:
well at the moment we aren't in a joint win
HongHu says:
which is the truth
Kody says:
in fact things may turn out we go for a joint win against the drones
Kody says:
rather than with
HongHu says:
it may
Voltaire says:
indeed
Voltaire says:
the CyCon proposed this earlier in the game
Voltaire says:
in the communique blacklisted by Googlie
Kody says:
until the drones finally make their decisions, we need to keep options open
Kody says:
proposed the joint win?
Voltaire says:
I'm not sure
Voltaire says:
The CyCon may well not like the idea
Kody says:
which idea?
HongHu says:
can you repeat what you said chairman?
Voltaire says:
a joint win
Kody says:
*nod*
HongHu says:
I didn't understand
Voltaire says:
Let me rephrase
HongHu says:
cc proposed the idea of joint win?
Voltaire says:
I do not believe we should propose a permipact to the CyCon
Kody says:
the cycon may be only after roleplaying friends.
Voltaire says:
Just propose a normal pact against other factions...
Kody says:
*nod*
Voltaire says:
Which essentialy signifies that we're pacted until other threats are eliminated.
Voltaire says:
After which it's each for himself
HongHu says:
yes
Voltaire says:
I think with the CyCon that is the better option
Voltaire says:
But let us test the waters first
HongHu says:
I would agree
HongHu says:
ok
Voltaire says:
We may well want to offer a permipact
Kody says:
I think that as long as we give them a nice roleplaying scenerio when we break up.
Voltaire says:
if we feel they would accept it
Kody says:
They won't hold it too strongly against us

Vev has been added to the conversation.

Voltaire says:
the Drones?
Voltaire says:
or CyCon?
Kody says:
invite ezrhino?
HongHu says:
we have invested quite a lot into drones
Kody says:
the cycon
Vev says:
hard core
HongHu says:
so parting with them is harder
HongHu says:
same with them I would believe
Kody says:
the cycon should be okay as long as we make it a big roleplay event when we part.
HongHu says:
what is hard core?
Kody says:
should we involve EZrhino?
HongHu says:
is he the hard core?
HongHu says:
lol
Voltaire says:
I don't see why not, I think I appointed him a member of the People's congress moments ago
Voltaire says:
He just doesn't know it yet'

TrickyAnansi has been added to the conversation.

Kody says:
heh
Kody says:
figures that you appoint people and forget to tell them
TrickyAnansi says:

Voltaire says:
No no
Voltaire says:
Rember how i said i'd just appoint people
Voltaire says:
to fill up the job list
Voltaire says:
that's what it was about
Kody says:
Voltaire says:
I don't see why not, I think I appointed him a member of the People's congress moments ago
Voltaire says:
He just doesn't know it yet'

HongHu says:
and people needs to find out themselves
Voltaire says:
hey
Voltaire says:
it's not my responsibility to tell them
Voltaire says:
they should damn well pay attention
HongHu says:
lol
Kody says:
heh
Kody says:
Erin: you're in the people's congress
TrickyAnansi says:
say what??
HongHu says:
it is not that they get paid or anything
Voltaire says:
Yup, we just forgot to tell you.
HongHu says:
congratulations!
Kody says:
HongHu is the new cycon ambassador
Vev says:

TrickyAnansi says:
I dont know what to say
Voltaire says:
Now be a good little deputy and read the constitution
Kody says:
and voltaire is taking over pirate negotiations
HongHu says:
that'll take him 5 days
HongHu says:

Kody says:
not as long as it would take to read all my posts if he wanted to help with in game stuff
Voltaire says:
lol
HongHu says:
oh that'll take us 5 months lol
Vev says:
Can I join in and make it even longer?
Kody says:
sure
HongHu says:
you mean like 5 years?
Kody says:
Vev you can be university ambassador
Voltaire says:
That's what it would take to read all our spam
HongHu says:
but you need to murder jamski first
Vev says:
I need a fake persona
Vev says:
I was keen to do a seadog
Kody says:
Erin: this is where all the interesting stuff in the hive occurs in the censored MSN conversations
HongHu says:
vev you need to talk to the chairman about all the murders
Vev says:
now for a academia nut
HongHu says:
and chairman is planning to hold a meeting with the hard cores
Vev says:
People will die oitnow!:
HongHu says:
and I will be able to come out alive again
Vev says:

Vev says:
a need a kicker to begin
HongHu says:
and come with some idears
HongHu says:

HongHu says:

HongHu says:

HongHu says:
it is more complicated anyway
HongHu says:

Vev says:

HongHu says:
like me
TrickyAnansi says:
gotta log off for a bit, be back in 20 minutes or so
HongHu says:

Voltaire says:
Alright, I must depart for while, don't go anywhere, i'll be back in 20 min, until then do what you're best at, SPAM

Vev says:
can you give me a brief pointer where I should take the story?

TrickyAnansi has left the conversation.

Vev says:
that is usually what takes the longest time for me
HongHu says:
well I think you have gethered some info
HongHu says:
about the murder
HongHu says:
there could be several options
HongHu says:
one, roko did it for he doesn't want to pact with drones
Vev says:
so now set the story from my point of view over what I have discoverd
HongHu says:
two , univ did it and framed roko
HongHu says:
you need to talk to chairman
Vev says:
I prefer process of elimination
HongHu says:
and clear roko out
HongHu says:
and bring me to his place with more info
HongHu says:
about univ probe teams operations at drones
HongHu says:
and he'll hold the meeting
HongHu says:
and everything is cleared in hive
HongHu says:
but there would be more murders
HongHu says:
roko was actually taking the oppotunity to murder jamski
HongHu says:
and blame it on univ
HongHu says:
for power struggle bt the two
HongHu says:
really does exist
HongHu says:
but chairman do not need to know
Vev says:
is Roko now a NPC?
HongHu says:
npc
HongHu says:
what's that
Vev says:
non - playing character
Vev says:
essentially we can take over what the character is doing
HongHu says:
well he just entered university so may be busy
HongHu says:
but we can't wait for him
HongHu says:
I'll try email him see if he can do something but I doubt
HongHu says:
what I just said was just a quick thought
HongHu says:
you could perfect it by your own
HongHu says:
oh
HongHu says:
an
HongHu says:
and
HongHu says:
you should send a probe team to jamski
HongHu says:
to help find honghu but the true intention
HongHu says:
is to help the murder investigation
HongHu says:
and they may have saved jamksi's life
Vev says:
more probing
HongHu says:
lol
HongHu says:
that may be quite a lot in writing
HongHu says:
or
HongHu says:
jamski could visit drones
HongHu says:
and was murdered there

HongHu says:
attempted murdered at least
HongHu says:
ok this all that I've thought
Kody says:
Okay I'm giving up posting the rest of this conversation
HongHu says:
oops
HongHu says:
censor them out
