The Phalanx: Issue #7

[GeoModder]

It is a fact that sofar at least one fungal pop has been noted on Spartan territory.
I'm not aware of any others elsewhere.

Also, may I urge to halt this shouting to one another? It makes achieving peace quite difficult IF there is a willingness to discuss this...

Wow, must have been a looong time ago. I saw none of these since I joined Sparta. OTOH, Worms attacking Morgan bases seem to be quite a common occurance.

Anger management. You should not hide your feelings.

You, Andrziej Sawicki seem to be living here - 3000 posts in a bit more than 6 months.. wow!

I just noticed you've become an emperor and couldn't hold reviewing your profile - you've been there less than me, but are an emperor already

A good apprentice, he is.

I'm here a bit over a year now, and have double his PC while I've been away for 2 months in the meantime.

Morgan Industries will happily provide free copies of the popular holovid "Lessons for the Aspiring Entrepreneur VI: Advanced Anger Management for Successful Negotiations" for all participants of an interfactional round table event IF the Corporation should receive an invitation for such an event from a neutral faction.

Sofar only the Peacekeepers have showed up...

Kassiopeia has RL commitments, hence our (s)lower diplomatic activity at the moment. As far as I know, we are interested in peace talks. To what extent and with whom... opinions vary.

But not to you.

Imagine that. And that with about 10 posts in the OT forum. I PBEM too much.

The game actually seems to be heating up. Lurking would be so much more fun if all the factions had similar and up to date information bulletins

Oh, right, you had no infiltration, or did you? The Worm attacks Morgan Industries was and is suffering from are surely just a sign of the "love" of the Planet for them.

I'm pretty sure Morgan Industries isn't suffering anything anymore. As far as worm attacks, though, we've had a few as well. A friendly kitten may yet claw you, and a tree may fall on you even if you're chained to it.

The Data Angels urge every warring faction to try to come closer together instead of continuing shouting towards each other from their respective towers of Rightness.

The Corporation would greatly appreciate, support and contribute to any initiative from the Data Angels in this direction.

I applaud these wise words! Let us bring peace on Chiron! Unfortunately the Gaians seem to disagree with this.

Then you draw false conclusions. Presented with the possibility of danger from the Spartans and the Hive (the former because of reactionary voices among Spartan leadership, and the latter because of the psychotic hatred of the Gaians by Yang), and the weakened state of the Morganites, we were willing to risk strengthening them for our own gain. Previous negotiations with the Spartans regarding technologies had been unfruitful enough to force us into trading with other partners to ensure the welfare of our people.

Err... looking at the bolded text, it seems I draw the right conclusions: you pacted with Morgan against Sparta.

And now you have initiated a war on two fronts (three if you are actually fighting Yang). Hitler would be proud.

Please... If any comparison with World War Two needs to be made, the Corporation would be Nazi Germany who took over the SCC Hunter (aka Poland). Yang would be Japan, and you are the German cronies, the Italians. Unfortunately for the Corporation, they didn't expect the UK-French Spartans to react so strong and defend the honour of Poland...

Never thought I'd see the day a Spartan would identify with the French! And the Hunter... didn't you destroy it? Wouldn't that make you Soviets?

You are free to draw your own conclusions (I hope), but it is hardly hostile to attempt to temper the bloodthirst of a once friend. It is true, there were those among us that would have taken action given your open disrespect for our sphere of influence, but you can clearly see that peace triumphed among us. Is it an ignoble goal to try to dissuade people from pointless war, by any means necessary?

As far as the Angels' initiative for peace, discussion, however heated, is preferable to none at all. A war is much easier to stomach when you don't know who you're killing.

(By the way, I feel it needs to be said that I'm grinning as I write every one of these posts. By no means do I take the events in this game personally)

Yes, this is a game after all and I don't think Maniac's propaganda is anything more than a parody of what's going on in the real world..

Well, if you need comparison, be my guest. They were first to Berlin, remember?

We had to destroy it in order to save it.

If you really cared about us, we wouldn't have had to ask

(I always wondered what it would be like to be on the "right" side of one of those)
