The Chiron Chronicle: Discussions (Restart 3)

[Kassiopeia]

It's not so much the ideal of the Believers, more like the fact that when playing SMAC she tends to be a real b***h. And I can imagine the stereo/architype she is
In fact, I think she has a much too bad a reputation on Chiron... And maybe "hating guts" was too hard. Mere dislike.
Maybe Miriam and I can come along, in time. The Believers are cool, but Miriam sucks
Maybe a little attitude change in our little redhead? But not too much, or she'll loose her edge.

Guardian, those are PK ideals, but are they Lal's ideals?

[Mr. President]

Morganic Agenda

Haven't posted here for a while (except for my Usurper story), so I hope no-one minds if I speak up again at this point?

Here are Morgan Industries' major concerns at the moment:

1. Eco-terrorism. Security suspects the University's gas incident was eco-terrorism, and I think I mentioned a firefight between security forces and eco-terrorists around a month ago. One can see why they would fear this. The lack of a material air presence (see below) makes isolated facilities vulnerable to long-range SAS-style commando raids. And that's not even considering domestic activism (read: drone riots). And so forth.

2. The Industrial Summit. No, I haven't forgotten that. And if it does go ahead (ie. the Third Spartan War doesn't bankrupt us), I'm dreaming up some advanced robotic mining equipment for people to drool over.

3. Modernizing the army. Recent shows of power by the Data Angels (who I thought weren't allowed to use Power in the Social Engineering screen ) have made the government painfully aware of its limitations in the military sector. We don't even have a real air force. Keep your eyes open for major future purchases from Sparta and the Hive, and possibly even a bid to acquire a share of the Ascetic Virtues.

Catch you all Planetside!

[Kassiopeia]

2. The Industrial Summit.

Oh, about that... I assume it is held after the PG election. So can Miriam join? Please please please? The BDC will ask the Morganite delegation once at PC Base?
And maybe some co-operation with the air force purchases?

Oh, and to Guardian: "Sort this mess out with Spartans" does not sound like "improve relations" - that sounds more like "kick their sorry hind quarters", so to speak

[DarkCloud]

So... In order of importance, as a group, we should resolve the "WORLD" Issues

1.) Planetary Governor Elections
2.) Nerve Gas
3.) Believer-Cult War
4.) Peacekeeper's Relations

[Natan]

The Hive's issues:

1) Planetary Governor elections.

2) Tensions with PKs and Chiron alliance in general.

3) Believer-Cult war.

4) New Hive allies, like Morgan and the Believers. The Hive wants to counter the Chiron alliance and also wants access to the new technology it lacks.

[Argonaut]

Belated Data Angel Concerns

1.) Planetary Governor Election
2.) Nerve Gas Incident
3.) Tensions along our borders with our neighbours
4.) Relations with Cybernetic-Conciousness and Gaian's.

As for the nerve gas incident, I don't think the Angels should be the ones to uncover it. The way I saw there participation was this: Roze sent Rezon and his team to investigate. When things went to hell, one of Rezon's underlings saw an opportunity for a promotion by getting rid of Rezon. Rezon thinks Roze set him up, so she could be with her new lover and Roze's is trying to prevent an incident by covering up the fact that the Angel's were there, even though they didn't blow it up. Just my thoughts. Your ideas?

[Sprayber]

I'm back guys. did anthing important happen? Are the Spartans still availible.

God it is so good to be back home with the one I love. But I don't know for how long.

[Cyber]

Cult objectives:

1. Cult-Believer war and to end it( obviously)
2. Find allies
3. Planetary Elections
4. Preaching peacefully about a more ecological way of life.

Welcome back, Sprayber...

[Mr. President]

Miriam, Kass, is welcome to join the summit. I think Morgan's representative to the Council publicly invited all factions to participate. The Morganites and the Believers have much to learn from each other.

[Natan]

The Hive would like to attend the Industrial summit if it will improve relations with Morgan, but the Hive does want to keep its Planned economy. We'll have to see if that sparks tensions or not.

[DarkCloud]

Okay Argonaut- you can do that, I'll work it into my storyline.

I have decided to place the Planetary Governor votes not because the story cannot move on until the votes are taken and I do not wish it to stagnate.

After that we can resolve the nerve gas and the Cult-Believer war... (My storyline will depend on who wins the PlanGovernor elections)

I believe the Spartans, PK's, and DAngels are running... Correct?

Welcome back sprayber!

[Kassiopeia]

Welcome back Sprayber - good to hear that you are in one piece. You have arrived just in time to win the election

Mr President, Natan: Okay. But the Believers run Planned also, so we'll be in the Hive camp with that (Believing SE is Fundamentalist-Planned-Simple, IIRC)

DarkCloud: A prudent decision, Miriam's vote placed.

DarkCloud and Argonaut: Methinks the Believers were very heavily involved with the nerve gas accident, right?

[Guardian]

Welcome back Speayber!
As you may have noticed, virtually nothing at all happened while you were away, so we can pick up right where we left off.

Now, I would like to draw everyone's attention to the admin thread for a moment... it appears we have some rather MAJOR inconsistencies in terms of sizes and numbers of military forces. I haven't posted anything about the PK forces yet, and I currently find it kind of hard to do so, seeing as how - for instance - the air force is supposed to have more than 40 units, but fewer than 10 units...

Actually, yes.
However, Lal would like to get rid of all the factions and have everyone unite under one (PK) government, which would then protect everyone's rights (-and which he'd like to be part of)... This doesn't mean Lal wants everyone to think the way he does, although it can easily be mistaken for just that. Oh, and of course, everyone would have to agree on certain basics (U.N. Charter, etc.)... For more details, watch for my introduction to PK politics - coming soon to an admin thread near you!

Well, "kick their sorry hind quarters" is not the typical PK idea of how to go about sorting out their differences with other factions... However, in the Spartans' case... well, we really don't know yet...

[Guardian]

Okay, the above post has changed a little...
(i.e. if you already read it, you may wish to re-read it to see my revised answers to kassiopeia...)

Just the air force, or all forces in total?

Oh, what is that lurking in the horizon? Well well, isn't that our old friend Conflict?
Lal is rather optimistic with that. To have the Believers join the Federation - I mean, UN , there would have to be some major internal change in Believing goverment, something like a revolution or similar.

A question to our moderators: Is it possible for a faction to have a revolution and change it's leader?
