The Chiron Chronicle: Discussions (Restart 3)

[Sprayber]

I didn't even notice it. I'm sure Solo would love to respond to the rant, ooops I mean speech.

Darkcloud, yes it is expensive Paper Money wise...where the value changes constantly and prices goes higher and higher every year...which is vulnerable to inflation big time. But Energy Currency wise...where anyone can produce it out of nowhere... lot easier and cheaper to maintain military units especially for factions by 2200. But Pirates is bit overboard still...have to reorganize.

Okay, I see- but they still have to maintain the vehicles to normal wear and tear, and feed the troops and that costs food and money.

Ignore Svensgaard? Have you read his speach in the Planetary Council? how can you ignore that and postpone it?

Now I have read it, but can think of no response, the university is silent on that matter

Vote for Nerve Gas? Darkcloud, it is already considered illegal in the charter :P

Zakharov is all for reversing that decree... especially considering that he is in the best place to manufacture a lot of it- actually I haven't proposed that... after his supply was lost, he is now going to use it as a political bargaining tool.

I think we need to make units large enough to block a square. 40 rovers could never stop any number of enemy rovers moving through the same square as them, since each rover would be defending about 10 kilometers. Maybe 50-100 (depending on what sort of rovers you have and what faction you are) would be more realistic?

Well I had a whole bit typed out, tried to post and was told that the server was too busy, so I lost my entire message.
The gist of it was: if you want me back, say so.
My thanks.

[Argonaut]

I want you back SmacFanatic. Are you Cyborgs or Gaians? I can't remember which one Alynzia took over. But, I certainly hope to resolve relations with both factions who have been quite since I left the Alliance.

[Clear Skies]

I thought she took the Cyborgs...
Trouble is, I need to try and find out which faction I could best cope with and develop. I usually sympathise more with Aki and her lot these days, although I used to play the Gaians in ordinary SMAC a lot.

Also, it depends which are taken and how much Alynzia wants them! Of course she gets first choice - I have been away for ages after all.

[Kassiopeia]

*looks at SMAC Fanatics signature*
I think we'll come along very nicely.
Any word on Cyber? The Council will stall at least on that topic without him.

[Clear Skies]

Ooh, fellow Foundation fan, or simply fellow non-violence fan?

If you're reading the Second Foundation Trilogy (the post-Asimov ones) read ONLY the David Brin one, because the other two SUCK majorly.

The original Foundation series are by far the best. Why hasn't anyone extended the series post-Daneel? I would sooo love to do it - I even have an idea for it....

[[LordLMP]]

Are we using my system for the vote or just one vote vote for whoever? (using mines, Santiego as higher chance of winning with Hive's and the Believer's votes).

The Factions that still need to vote:

Free Drones
Gaians
Cyborgs
Peacekeepers???

Going by the game some factions should have more votes than others.

Well, both - though my faction selection does not necessarily be coherent with that

WHAT? There are Post-Asimov Foundations? I have "only" read the seven original ones, all of them handily available at my local library. How about the Empire and Robot trilogies? I have been unfortunate to only get the latter parts from both.

Back to topic...

I concurr. I thought we had this matter settled? *mutters something about the left hand not knowing what the right does*

I'm just passing a message

I got this today in my email. It's from Alynzia(or claims to be). I have no idea what it is about but I was asked to pass it along. I will simply cut and past. What follows are not my words at all and I don't won't anyone to get pissed off at me. I believe that there has been a misuderstanding and that the parties need to work it out cause as far as I'm concerned Alynzia is welcome to write. This is supposed to be for fun and not a source of friction. For me it has been a welcome distraction from the real world at least for few minutes a day. Can't we all just get along. Wait did a Spartan just say that? BTW. I edited out a last name on the message. The only way a last name should be mentioned here is if that person is the one that does it. I am Chris by the way.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Greetings Chiron Chronicles people and the owners of the other James
******
email addresses (I couldn't quite remember his exact one). In case you
haven't guessed, it is I Alynzia writing to you.

I can't post on Apolyton on holiday until I get to a real PC... which
will
hopeful be before I get to go home.

In case you wondered how I got your email addresses, James posted his
to
MarkG on the forum, Chris and Jason signed Googlie's site guestbook.
I'm a
wily one, to do all that investigating since I can't log in to
Apolyton.

I would like some one to post a note in the Chiron Chronicles saying I
am
quitting it, to let the other people know. Not that I did much!

James, you are a *****. From my own perception of such things, I find
you a
lisping little brat who thinks he is so smart because your apparently
gay
gene carrying parents send you to a posh school. You don't write
better
than me. In fact you write like a girl and it sucks, in my opinion.
Of
course you may have an over 146 IQ and be really rich but it doesn't
mean
you can write at all.

Why? Surely you read my note posted by MarkG, I am on frigging
holiday. I
didn't steal your faction, you had two, I picked one. I gave you the
Gaians
because I've heard your sissy whingings about the environment.

And like seemingly oblivious to me saying 'I'm in the most exciting
city in
the world for a month' in my message, you post you want the Cyborgs
back
and we will have to hear from Alynzia about it. You know I am away -
you
****ing knew that but hoped people would forget that and after a week
or so
of absence Darkcloud and LMP would say 'Oh, Alynzia's gone, you can
have her
faction as well as the one you already have.'

That is not cunning, it is blatantly pathetic and a direct indication
of how
stupid you are. If you could have thought of a smarter way to steal my
faction, you would have been well respected. I can appreciate that.
I'm
playing on your level here, however.

Have fun anyway though,

Alynzia.

LMP, we are using your system of # of votes per faction, I just couldn't locate it when I posted the post.

Alynzia.

I don't know what to say. I am literally speechless.

By the way, I'm James and I have no idea what she means about 'the owner of my other addresses'. In fact I have no idea about any of the other stuff she says - I've never claimed to be sent to a 'posh school', to be rich or to have a high IQ at all.

I never said she'd stolen my faction. I heard that she mgiht have taken the Cyborgs, but since she hadn't posted for a while I didn't know what was going on. If you read my post, you'll see I was planning to ask her which faction she wanted. I have no idea what she's going on about when she says all the environmental stuff.

I was never intending to steal her faction at all. I intended to wait until she returned before posting anything about the Cyborgs. I didn't know how long she was going to be away for and was willing to wait until she returned to say which one she wanted.

This outburst is totally uncalled for and I am sure I haven't done anything to warrant it. I never meant to 'steal' any factions or anything like that.

This has literally made me cry. If Alynzia is going to be such a vicious ***** then she can have her precious Cyborgs for all I care.

[DarkCloud]

...Sorry I didn't respond earlier, I didn't have time to read Alynzia's long post at the time.

Alynzia- I fail to see how you took SMAC Fanatic's post as insulting- he never said that you couldn't have a faction, in fact he said that you have first pick and that he wished you would pick soon.

We would be glad to have BOTH of you as players.

LMP- I'll PM Bearcat about the Drones' vote.
