The Chiron Chronicle: Discussions (Restart 3)

[Guardian]

Ho hum... (*fiddle*)

So... is there anyone left whom I have not confused yet??!?
If so, just let me know...

Just for the record though, this thing with the Data Angels wasn't exactly what I had in mind...

[Argonaut]

Hey Guardian,
It's all good. It makes the story far more interesting. However, you couldn't have called Roze an "elephant" and thought you would have gotten away with that! Besides, it's been a lot of fun. I've found myself getting through the boredom of work wondering what Lal was going to say next. Unfortunately, for dealing with Roze, he ended up saying all the wrong things.

[Guardian]

Yes, we both said all the wrong things.
So, it was the "elephant" thing that really did it, huh?
Well, that was the impression Lal got... He doesn't really believe that Roze is "only in it for the power", but that's the impression he'd get if he only looked at their most recent encounters...
The Peacekeepers never meant for it to go this far, they just wanted Roze to see that just getting angry with them wouldn't fix anything. Then they basically wanted to exchange apologies and sort out the problem. They'd even be willing to vote for Roze if an agreement was made in a more dignified manner, they just weren't going to turn around and do it simply because she got mad... Ah well! So much for that...

The thing is... now that you Data Angels have been the Peacekeepers' best friends for so long... we won't really turn out backs on you unless you turn out to be a bunch of real @ssholes. Will it go that far?

The Morganites, Free Drones, Gaians, Cyborgs and Hive haven't requested directly for some more bases. So should i use my discretion, or your people choose or no extra bases at all?

For the Gaians and maybe the cyborgs, will give some bases according to my opinion of what they should have and place them.


For now, I will take care of some simple things for the Gaians and Cyborgs via their representives at the Council and so on.
Gaians will be quiet as they usually are and the Cyborgs, quiet for an reason. Can say the Cyborgs are working on something big, so Aki Zeta-Five not available at the moment :P

I'm still trying to get everything sorted out

May as well tell people about the Nerve Gas thing-

-Zak is using horrible untraceable IP numbers... he sent his best people to DAngel hacking cafes. (Thus all the 'unknown' messages came from him)
-The Nerve gas really kills humans and was destroyed by someone? Haven't decided who... if kassiopea wants the Believer special Forces to have done it it could have been... Zak sent some mercenaries and the arrangement was like so:

Untrustable people (suspected Howellians guarding shipment)
Jakobians given heads up on shipment... but he sends some other untrustable people Greens (he tells them he doesn't want to kill mindworms- but wishes to seem powerful... thus he cannot destroy the shipment himself [flawed, but he thinks they are stupid ]

Greens-Jakobians meet fight. BSF come and kill them, then they blow up the mindworm killers by accident, trying to save them. The gas kills all. A grenade is dropped and explodes everything.

Well here's my problem so far. I've managed to unzip the file that Lord LMP sent me. But than I discovered the SMAX is refusing to work for me, and I determined that it was a problem with a sound file. So I had to rename the SOUND.DXLL file after consulting the Read Me. So now I can run SMAX, but without any sound. But that's only half my problem. I simply can't seem to upload the map. Unzipped and all. I don't what I'm doing wrong, but I can't seem to locate anything but the original zipped file, and I can't upload "ChironMap.SC" as my computer has decided to designate it.

So maybe I'll tackle it tomorrow. In any case I guess I can start playing as long as don't need to exactly know all of my bases and facilities and everything.

*sighs*

I updated the map again, so i'll post in the admin thread with the current coordinates.

Oh, while i was in the game, i check out my stats for the pirates...

WIth Democracy, Green and Power:

Efficiency +3 (so very clean and barely any wastage...)
Morale + 2 (so soldiers are pretty trained, especially the naval units with all bases having Naval Yards)
Planet +2 (No problems with planetmind and better chances of capturing mindworms)
Industry -2 (since turning to power, industry suffers..but not a big deal with Automation, +1 mineral bonus in shelf squares, Subsea Trunklines, use of supply convoys at Fossil Field Ridge and etc, so on)
Growth -1 (not a big deal either)

So, to figure out how much units the pirates can support...since they have Support Zero and have 31 bases......

2 free units per bases, so 62 free units in total

then, if you consider how much minerals they produce and so on.... well, they can support a lot lets use x5 per base formula which equals to 155 units, plus the 62 makes 217 units

I am many pirate bases can support more then 5 units mineral wise....... So technicly, the Pirates don't have much of a problem with minerals, neither with energy and food i would think too

thats crazy don't plan to max out my resources to maintaining military thought...................

Just to say in Chiron Chronicles, Non-Combat units are practicly free...but leave some resources to maintain them anyway for realism sake

Beacat, *.SC means scenario. so in the main menu in crossfire when you start the game, go to Scenerio and then Edit Scenario. then locate ChironMap.sc, wherever you unzip it at.

Im working on some JPG images of Spartan territory. I could send you some of the Drones if you want. Natan, I will get you the believer maps tonight. Sorry for not getting them sooner. I have been so busy lately...Guardian I will get them to you as well...Kass..if you need some I can send them to you as well.

I just like to be able to visualize things when im writing things down. And the JPG images helps on that.

Just wanted to let you guys know I'll be out of action for a couple of days. I'm moving into my new apartment, and until I can get my computer set up, I won't be able to post. Should only be until about Monday though, as long as all goes well. So, if you're going to declare war on me, could you wait until Monday? That would be great, thanks.

[Guardian]

Sorry guys! Looks like I'm out of it for now...
I'm visiting my mother's house this weekend, and she somehow managed to screw up her computer to the point where I don't think I can fix it anymore...
Got a f?!cked up screen that blinks and makes my head hurt in no time and an internet connection that only works for like 3 seconds every half hour or so...

I'll be back as soon as I can....

[Kassiopeia]

Sprayber: Yes, that would be wonderful. It is quite horrid to fiddle around with the scenario editor. Thanks in advance

Guardian: This is OCC and Off Topic, but congrats on Mette-Marit, unless you are one of them antiroyalists.

[Bearcat]

It works
I finally got it to work. Now I just need to know who to talk to and what my exact situation is.

[DarkCloud]

Welcome to the Game Bearcat

Argonaut, Guardian- good luck with setting up the computer and fixing the computer... hope to see you both again in a few days

Bearcat- the first thing you need to do is choose a faction.
I think SMAC Fanatic quit so the open factions are:

Free Drones
Cyborgs
Gaians????????

NOT IN GAME YET---- (below)
Progenitors
Usurpers

---
Natan is Hive
Guardian is Peacekeepers
Cyber is Cult of Planet
Sprayber is Spartans
DarkCloud is University
Argonaut is Data Angels
[Lord LMP] is Pirates
kassiopea is Believers

Is that everyone? I seem to be missing 2 factions?
