Chiron Chronicles Discussion

[[LordLMP]]

Better if we talk here then in the story thread or the admin.

Rules:

its more of a Political/Diplomacy type of game. get into the story by either writing some news clips, messages to whoever from whoever, actions, discussion, dreams to planetmind, personal thoughts, descriptions, short story and etc... anything that gives details, or an idea of whats going on.

Can acquire the map at the admin, and list of bases and co-ords. all base on the xplanetx map. but i think i need to fix it, showing X :/ but the game map file should work thought... if you don't have Alien Crossfire, then i just have to get the world map link working :/

Free Drones:

They have a strong industry and good size military, mostly comprise of cheap units. They have at the moment a single Sea Base and a small navy.
They are in good relations with the chiron alliance. they are in a treaty with spartans since the beginning...except some territorial problems concerning the Borehole Cluster, which the Free Drones controls, but was resolved, especially after the Hive was able to cross Free Drone territory to attack spartans and pillaging Centurion Caves. Spartans helped with the blockade against the Hive. Free Drones may have a treaty with spartans, but ideally, they don't like spartans either because they have run a police state, mistreat drones, and slavery. But Drones not interested in two front war, so make friends with one and fight the other. Free Drones was at war with the Hive since the Free Drones split off from the hive...until recently. After the planetary council, Hive ask for truce with Drones and started negociation for a Peace Treaty, which neither side expect to really happen. Hive needs it because they are busy with something else and Free Drones needs a time to rest because holding the Blockade up puts heavy stress on the military(and defending against Mind Worms/Locusts/etc), with Hive constantly attacking/raiding.
Pirates have three Elite Rover Units that was helping with the blockade, and disguise as Free Drone units so Spartans don't find out about the Pirates...which they have now after the Planetary Council. Drones does a lot of trading with Pirates...pirates also use Free Drone terrority for their probe teams to operate from against Spartans.
Also recently, after the blood truce, Spartans remove its units from the blockade and started establishing another Blockade line along Free Drone/Spartan borders.

LordLMP: Just curious. Did you take the character of Braddock from battlezone 2 ?

[Christantine The Great]

Remember there can't really be very good relations between the CA and the Drones. Planetmind is pissed off at them because of their rampant pollution.

[[LordLMP]]

well, the relations are peaceful and good relations with pirates, but less than good with the Cyborgs and Planetmind. If they didn't have the pollution problem and have switched to Green Economy, they would of been part of the Chiron Alliance quite quickly.
They would try, but they can't switch economy because they need the industry to support military s they can defend themselves properly against the Hive and Planetmind, and because thats simply how they are :P

As for name of Braddock, yes, i got it from Battlezone 2 Trying to base the character on that character but not to cause a civil war and does support the U.N. Charter, just stresses it a bit and finds the loopholes. and use ta have a wife and a kid at High Commission Was a scientist before he joined the military and supportive of the Pro-War beliefs. Can also see why he can go bit overboard at risky his troops lives

*blinks*

i thought is supposed to devastate U.N. SeaQuest, not completly destroy it :P Thats the third Peacekeeper base, and the third base on the whole planet, to be oblirated. PKs have such bad luck.

also, what a political mess :P Thats the first Nuclear Blast on Planet aswell. Anyway, I say the blast only destroyed everything in the single square which SeaQuest was and half damage among the surrounding squares. Can't it be stronger than a Fission Planetbuster. One square is about 500x500 km.... or so. maybe less.

[[LordLMP]]

Would of been nice as to why and how this Brian became leader of the Free Drones? Also, why would the Free Drones declare war on the Hive, when their military is unprepared and when Hive have just offered blood truce? Before you asked for control of Free Drones, i got Free Drones to accept the truce, giving them time to reorganize its military and to deal with the Planetmind problem, who have been popping worms and fungus and then attack free Drone bases because of the pollution created.

Don't simply say something out of nowhere without any useful details as to whats going on. do have to be realistic and other players need to know whats going on, especially when it may effect other factions like the Spartans, Pirates, and Hive And various situations like the Spartan/PK thing. So atleast edit your post on the intro of Brian as new leader with some more details? and to why they will simply turn around and try attacking the Hive? you do have to place some realities aswell. like the Hive is bigger than the free drones, base and population wise. Hive military is almost twice the size of free drones. SOME Hive units ma of move away from the Hive/Free Drone borders, but doesn't mean they are at the other side of the faction. Free Drones have the Mindworm problems winthin their borders to deal with aswell.

don't want to look like tough, but i don't want a player to pop something out a bunny out of its hat, want them to do if they can with valid make sence details. it is a diplomacy game of SMAX

I've found www.rhyme.lycos.com
to be a usful on-line utility.
has functions like:
Related words (ie finding a "longer" version of a word, for when you get bored with using three and four letter words or if you don't want to use the same word too many times in a paragraph)
Simialler Spellings (can be used for spell checker)
Definition
Quotations (From famous writings and peoples)
And ofcourse rhymes (For example you want to make a poem about miriam, what the hell rhymes with miriam?!, a quick check reveals "bacterium" and "delerium" heheh)

LordLMP: Well, devastated...destroyed. Lets just say that the Spartans estimated that the base would be devastated, but they got it wrong and instead it was completely sunken one square is enough for damage.
Three PK bases have been obliterated, and all by Spartans

[[LordLMP]]

Cyber, how many foils you have there? Sure built many in a period of one year, and more ground units and building up an air force. Spartans being Industrially handicapped, how can you get so many units so quickly?
And i have pirate fleet coming towards the spartans and spartans didn't detect them yet? ok


Oh, and i "refresh" my site, so should be showing the map on the Admin site.

-LordLMP

[Cyber]

Sorry if you got confused with the "Massive fleet" thing, its rather a sizeable fleet , you can see the numbers from Admin.The Spartan scout fleet was built a long time ago and the 1st expansion fleet entered service in mid 2180 mission year.
The construction of the ground units began even earlier, and the Air units were built in the Spartans three biggest bases, round the clock you could say
And, about the pirates, as I mentioned in my post, the Spartan fleet stopped inches outside PK territory, so they have detected the Pirate fleet but don´t have a problem as they haven´t violated anything, yet.

[[LordLMP]]

I don't mind I created Braddock and now you get to play him, and i am okay with that Maybe not i can put more concentration towards my Pirates :P Do you have the map?

But better if i tell some my plans...some which i am only hinting, or else it wouldn't be a surprise for Cyber, and other details which doesn't show on the map and so on.

Thanx!

Er... no, I don't have the map yet. I also don't have Alien Crossfire (YET!). I noticed that you seem to be using the "official" map of Planet though, so I guess i can figure things out on my own if I have to...

Also, yes, you should still play out (or have a "chat" with me about) some of your plans, since obviously I don't know what they are... For instance, I have NO idea what kind of deal Braddock made with the Hive...

Welcome to the game Guardian.

god dag, hilsen!

I would like to apologize for my sporadic involvement over the last few days, but I am sad to say it will not get better- I may be gone for a week in a few days or in a few weeks, I am not sure when. In that case, if the University is at war, please only take one of the colonial cities because Zakharov with Morgan and Santiago's help can easily defend the rest of his lands to the Cyborgs and Angels.

If you have any other questions, please ask, I will next be avaliable Monday.

[Guardian]

Hi guys!

Been following your story for some time now, and... well, I finally got myself registered on these excellent forums, and so I'd like to join in!

I'd be interested in taking over the Peacekeepers. Both of them if possible, but if LordLMP wants to keep general Braddock, then I guess I'll settle for Lal... your call. Either way, I've got some ideas already and... well, I'm looking forward to it!

I'll be seeing you around!

[[LordLMP]]

Hotmail is down, darnit! Which Faction is to blame for sending a Probe Team to Hotmail?
