The Chiron Chronicle: Discussions (4)

Heh... well, since Argo hasn't said anything, I just couldn't resist the urge to answer myself...

Well, if you'd paid a little more attention and understood us a little better, you would have known it all along...

-And I guess you could say something along those exact same lines and throw it right back at me...
In other words: What we have here is a failure to communicate properly...

Lal never said no to the idea of voting for Roze if he himself did not stand a chance.
He just wasn't willing to give up without even trying, that's all.

-And I guess he could have been clearer about that... probably would have been if things hadn't gone sour. Thing is, Lal was somewhat taken aback and kind of got the impression Roze was basically telling him to get the @£$€?! out of her way... so, instead of actually discussing the matter at hand, Lal ended up acting kind of defensively, Roze got upset and pushed harder, they kept misinterpreting each other, and it all went to hell on a mag tube...

With the way things turned out (pretty much exactly as Roze predicted), the Peacekeepers would have been backing Roze to the hilt if we hadn't had that nasty falling out over it.

As matters stand right now, we're not even sure if Roze is better than Santiago at all.

Sorry, but that's how it is at the moment...

I will be voting for the Free Drones... SMAC Fanatic can vote for the Gaians and the Cyborgs.

I receive email from Alynzia that she won't be coming back.

If we get a tie in votes, the CEO retains as PG until the Council smarts up and make their mind up.

Hey give us a little credit Gaurdian! We haven't slaughtered thousands of your civillians in two brutal wars!

Your just lucky Roze didn't hear that. She'd be pretty pissed,

We have agreement! Shall we proceed?

Actually, in the game this could produce an unwanted situation where people refuse to admit the power of the council

Question for those who have played CC before; has the election ever been as complex and thight and disputed as this time?

No, it has never been as complicated and contested as this

----
LMP- I think your infantry # of units is FAR to bloated. 40-80 would be a good number. (Examples: University only has 30) Pirates probably have more, but 100-500... !!!!!!

---
We do not have to worry about Morgan voting- The Free Drones' vote will decide the contest unless they abstain

----
Hmm... The Gaians and Free Drones... Well, I suppose Roze will win. Zakharov won't be happy about that, but he won't be too angered with Roze...

---
Oh yes, and if there is a tie in the future... What happens is the faction leaders co-govern...

[DarkCloud]

SMAC fanatic- welcome back... however, please do not do too much with planetmind- the game has unanimously decided that planetimind will not play a big role in the game--- however, since you are the gaians, you may use planetmind to obtain mindworms.

I am not sure if you are allowed to implore planetmind to use mindworms to attack other factions however... My decision is no... but what do you and LMP think? The reason I say so, is that doing so will technically give you control of planetmind and the gaians...

Oh well, welcome back and thank you for writing

[Kassiopeia]

EDIT: Whoops, gotta read council thread more carefully. Wait...

I don't intend to use Planetmind against any other factions. All I was attempting to do was to bolster the Gaian military, since they don't have a very big conventional one and need more native lifeforms to help them along a bit.

[Kassiopeia]

*looks at PC thread*

Sprayber, as soon as those transports get to Mt. Planet, it's time for a slight strategic discussion!
To tell you the truth, the Spartan requests of colonizing the area went to deaf ears.
*slaps himself*

No, but you have made it perfectly clear that you won't raise a finger to help our civilians next time somebody comes around seeking to slaughter them...

As far as we're concerned, those who won't oppose an atrocity are in fact no better than those who commit it.

Your just lucky Roze didn't hear that. She'd be pretty pissed,

Oh really?

See if I care...

That is all right- I just wanted to make sure you understood all the rules that had been made in your absence.

[Argonaut]

We never said we wouldn't oppose an attrocity. We're just not coming running with guns the next time Braddock shoots his mouth off and some army comes looking for him

[Clear Skies]

Oh, and if anyone opposes the Cyborg/Data Angel colonisation of the next-to-Mount-Planet area, please say. If there's a majority of you, we can always have the transport destroyed by a wild IoD or the pods destroyed by mindworms.

Well, officially the Spartans have already spoken out against colonization in that area. But from my personal standpoint, i don't mind. Wasn't that going to be the area where the aliens would eventually land. You won't get any argument from Sprayber, but Santiago and company will certainly be very angered by it. The Spartans have tried to advise the Believers to send colony pods that way to claim it. :hint: :hint:

Do note SMAC that the Gaians as built up a force of 10 rover units ment for the Second Spartan War. Of course, they didn't see any action...just garrisoning and patrolling around Blast Rifle Crag... but it was the Gaians first time of sending a force overseas and the biggest conventional force build up. They either disband some units or kept them. I would think they kept that force to defend their gaian-cult border... just incase the Believers break through and charges Gaia.

So i guess that the Gaians have about 10-15 Conventional Offensive Units.


Does anyone know how many troops in a typical infantry Battalion in this world? I guess 100 to 500. I can see the Russians having a bigger Battalion unit then the United States :P

oh, talking about Russians... Darkcloud, University ain't completly populated by Russians :P so don't name all of your characters with russian last names :P

Just to say, the Nautilus Pirates controls some Mines in the landmass west of Mount Planet, connected by a chokepoint. The story of that is simple, the nearby Pirate bases wnated to explore Mount Planet and so n started from the west. So they sent exploration teams, and during their exploration, they found some Unity Pods. One of them as been activated somehow as mining robots have started some mines. The exploration teams used some building resources from some other unity pods and started a mining operation, with the help of a former unit from Nessus Base. So the explorers started up a mining company and started selling their minerals via their sponsoring base. Svensgaard eventually discovered of the operation when he noticed a increase in mineral production at the bases there. Didn't give heck to anyone, just advise the people of the Company that they should of told the Government, so they could guerantee their safety. SO they establish a small Defence outpost along the Mining Outpost. So far, no factions have noticed. So one reason why Svensgaard would be against having SPartans at Mount Planet
