Running A Data Angels faction option up the flag pole

[Enigma_Nova]

I was planning for that, actually.

1. Defend early rush, weakening rushers.
2. Build it up, harassing the weaker.
3. Backstab your building rival.
4. Outvote the weakened survivors.

If I could pick my diplomacy like I could change clothes, I'd go:
1. Gaians//Spartans vs. Angels//Morgan
2. Gaians//Morgan vs. Angels//Spartans
3. Gaians//Angels vs. Morgan//Spartans
4. Gaians vs. Angels

But it's rarely so easy.
So, at the start, I pick Angels.
That way Morgan and I don't get rovered and probed,
and I'm not stuck building with Santi,
and I have a decent chance of outbuilding you or winning a war against you later.

Longterm plans are all very nice and well, but they rarely stand the test of time. Most likely you'll just be forced to cooperate with whoever meets you first, if you want to keep up with everyone else.

[Enigma_Nova]

Quite correct, Maniac, but it's possible to have two factions arrange to meet each-other.
Spartans will probably be the first to meet anyone with her Doc:Flex.
Depending on who Spartans meet, I will choose my tactic.

If Spartans meet Gaians, I'll use their ships to collect IoDs and crush you all early.
If Spartans meet Morgan, We'll out-expand them for a win in the midgame.
If Spartans meet Angels, Morgan and I are building it up, and staving you off until we win in the late game.
If Sparta sits on their ass, I'll take over an AI early with worms, and use the territorial advantage to win.

So basically...
I win. It's just a matter of timing.

Unless Angels decide to accept a contract for probe raping Gaians Ahum, peace, love and understanding please...

[Enigma_Nova]

We will never conquer you cruelly.
There will be lots of free love, dancing naked and xenorum at every base takeover.

[GeoModder]

Ah yes, a prime opportunity to mind control your troops meanwhile...

Please ingore Enigma`s posts. He is delusional and this is not official opinion of Gaian Republic.

Data Angels Forum Private Forum has now been set up. Please be sure that you currently don't have permission to read the actual forum so I can get the bugs worked out of that system.

Oh... and post here with the e-mail address you're using too (or PM... just extra security)... surrounding it with 'xxxemail@whatever.comxxx' is good if you don't want your address sniffed.

[Snowflake]

I got an error message saying page is not found. Is this what you mean by not having permission?

My email xxhhu003 at mchsi.comxx

[FlameFlash]

er... for the first link here or for subsequent links?

[GeoModder]

I get to the fill in the memberform page.

O yes, email is xxGeoModder at hotmail dot comxx (without you-know-what letter )

[Snowflake]

Ok I was able to access that page. Have created a new account.

[FlameFlash]

Did you get to actually submit, Geo?

HongHu, which link/button was it that gave you the error?

[Snowflake]

The first time I clicked on the link you included here in your post I got the page not found error. But I tried again and was able to get in. So it shouldn't be a problem.
