Why are the Pirates hassling with the Spartans if the Spartans are at Believing area?

Cause the pirates don't distinguish between other factions borders. Kind of like the Peecekeepers, but without the confused policy.

[DarkCloud]

Let's Work with this... Any additions, corrections?

Morganites... Sell Tech to the Cult

Spartans-Peacekeepers ---- War?
PK's-Spartans--- War?
PK's-Pirates--- ? Chiron Alliance (Military/Econ Pacts)
PK's-Data Angels--- Dislike

Cult- Spartans--- Hate
Spartans-Cult--- ???
Believers-Spartans--- Allies
Spartans-Believers--- Overt Support
Believers-Hive--- Allies

University-Cult--- Friends
University-Believers--- Dislike
Believers-University--- Dislike
University-Morgan--- Allies
University-Cyborgs--- Hate/Distrust
University-Data Angels--- Indifferent
University-PK's--- Think they are meddling/ Dislike

Simply gets pretty confusing :P 2 dimensional charts of relations ain't enough for CC... we need 3 dimensional ones technicly.........


In the admin, can simply do this:

Nautilus Pirates
Relations:

Peacekeepers: Friendly Pact - Chiron Alliance
Data Angels: Close Pact
Free Drones: Close Treaty
Spartans: Hostile Treaty
Hive: Uneasy Treaty
believers: Distrustful Truce
Morganites: Annoying Treaty
University: Annoying Treaty
Cyborgs: Distrustful Pact - Chiron Alliance
Gaians: Neutral Pact - Chiron Alliance
Cult: Whatever Neutral

First part is how your faction feels about the other and the second part is the official diplomatic status with the other. Third part is Other very short added info.

besides, we are not in Believer waters ;p also, the Spartan task forces would have to go around a island to get to and from Redemption Base. (noticed that when i went to review the map).
Your near Pirate waters, enough reason for them to harrass them

Oh, will post an updated map tomorrow or day after... Added the extra Free Drone bases (making Athen Outpost within Free Drone territory...and free drone can't do much anyway, as the pirates establish the outpost before the area became part of free drone territory :P), Hive bases (about five more...two up north, two south and one inside the monsoon jungle...i used the two square away from other bases policy when placing the latest bases...and there no more room inside Hive terrtory to place more using that policy), one Morganite base on Deianira Island (Morgan Interstellar), and place the requested Data Angel bases which i haven't placed before (thought i did, but atleast i place the colony pods at the coordinates :P).


Oh, Mr. President, no super tanks please The warping coils, base on your description, seem more like a Photon or Probelity armor to me, which no one have the techs for yet. I still say Rovers can outmaneuver tanks, making it hard to shoot at with a Gatling Laser Cannon on a turret. also, don't want vear off away from SMAC too :P oh well, let the morganites learn their lessons.

...yes i am picky...

[Sprayber]

I must say that I was a bit lost on Morgans new weapon. If I had to choose between a rover and a tank. I would definitly pick the rover. But if the Morganites want to build them, who am I to question.

[Kassiopeia]

Looks like there will be connections down at the US for some time... Just hoping you and your friends/families are OK.

[Sprayber]

Well guys I really don't know when I'll be back now. As things stand I am still leaving Saturday for Guard deployment. I was supposed to be back by the 29th but now I don't know. Way things are no one really can know. See you when I can..

[Argonaut]

Just wanted to add my condolences to anyone who lost friends or family in the attack on the U.S. today. We've been watching with worried eyes up here in Toronto and we're praying with you that at the very least it doesn't get worse from here. I hope everyone who can is giving blood or doing what they can to help in the relief effort. It's a small thing on our part, and what those people have suffered through is insane and terrible. I know most Canadian cities are organizing blood drives specifically to be sent down to New York hospitals (and I believe Washington as well).

And Sprayber, good luck and hopefully you'll be back in a couple of weeks without incident and some sort of normalacy can return. If that's even possible.

[Mr. President]

Magnetic-field armor has little if anything to do with probability armor. I got that idea from a science magazine. I can send you a copy of the article if you like.

I am originally from New York, and my family felt this shockwave all the way across the world. We're following the news with great concern, and I may or may not play while this pans out. To all, I hope that you fare well during this difficult time.

[Guardian]

I was thinking Sprayber might be called out early after this... I know I might have been if this had happened in my country (if anyone didn't get it the last time it was mentioned, I'm in the Norwegian National Guard).

Anyway, I really don't know what to say about this all. It's just too much... I can see a lot of good reasons for people to be pissed off at the USA, but none that would warrant anything even remotely similar to this stuff.

I don't know what is happening in other countries at the moment, but here in Norway, all night long, people have been coming to the American embassy in Oslo to lay down flowers and light candles in the street outside.

Naturally, I watched a lot of TV last night, and... well, one of the strongest scenes I saw all night was one where a Norwegian reporter was standing in a New York street, and... well, there were no spectacular images of buildings collapsing or people fleeing in panic or anything like that. Just this reporter standing in a downtown street without any traffic, and all around her people were just walking quietly by without a word. The reporter was trying to explain what was going on around her, which was a challenge because she was working really hard not to cry. She gestured towards the people all around her and she said that these were the people who walked away from the World Trade Center, and that almost all of them knew somebody who worked there...

At that point, I was working hard not to cry myself...

[Kassiopeia]

This is quite strange...
I had a migren attack last day at noon - headache, feeling sick, dizziness.
What is odd is that the day my grandmother died, I had a seizure also, just before the news came...
Spooky isn't it.

I think we should postpone on the Chronicles for some days, because of Sprayber leaving for duty and because all this is so... terrifying. Like from a cheesy Tom Clancy -novel. Or an action movie.
I'm just hoping that Finland can somehow help the people there. Words are just not enough.
BTW, some light at the end of the tunnel. Six people found alive at the WTC wreckage.

[Kassiopeia]

I spotted a post of Natan dated today on the OT. At least he's OK.

All missing Chiron Chronicle players, please... Report that you are OK!

[DarkCloud]

Dark Cloud is here- I may be able to post more later but- I was staying off the internet because of fear of internet attacks.

My phoneline lost its dialtone for a while and now I am connected 50% slower than ever before, 14000 BPS. Thus, I second a postponement, perhaps until Sprayber returns- but at least for a week

A side note--- If you hear about the Afghanastan bombing of Ammo Dumps... Look to my posts in the story! No one really knows for certain WHO bombed the Ammo Dumps!

Another note--- The nerve gas 'disaster'???? In the story... this brings to question "Who was behind it?" Perhaps in real life this is paralleled, with many people and organizations behind the troubles... I hope not.

[Mr. President]

This horror is all that anyone is talking about here in Australia. Every flag is at half-mast. Every single person is horrified.

My friend has a friend who was in Tower One when the plane hit. She has not yet heard from him.

I also recommend an indefinite recess. It is hard enough to concentrate on school right now, let alone the Chronicle.
