Beyond Alpha Centauri:: Discussion Thread 2

[Frankychan]

Mr. President,

I read it. Pretty cool. However, I remember someone asked if we were going to create a thread that described our society's and the political area within our factions. Do we need to make one or is the 'Sign-In' thread appropriate?

[Sprayber]

Mr. President. I'm going to convert my old webpage for things like societies of the factions. Ill just copy word for word what you guys write. but for the time being, where you put it is great


Franky, those planets near the Gians is are the Morgan Coperate sector. Mining, agriculture and other ventures there. Spartans are currently there to help protect them. Look at the detail maps on the second page




Kass. I have spent many hours reading that page. Some very exahaustive work went into that page. Try his links page. You will find many many other cool sites as well.

Try this page as well. http://www.synicon.com.au/sw/

This guy got the people at Lucus Filims and Lucus hopping mad

Ah, somehow I am not surprised.

I actually would agree to a new thread so that those who have no web space can do their descriptions etc. there. The descriptions there exist primarily because the game was in it's starters and people where somewhat confused of what to do where.

Unless the Thread-deity has some hidden agenda with that thread....

[History Guy]

Sounds OK to me. I'm working on a new post, by the way. Is there anything in particular that I should include?

And hey! The avatars are back!

Ehh, well tonight I am having a post (which is not exactly finished yet) but what will happen is, that the Titanian motion for TA membership for pass, and the EC is repelled from Titan and Rhea with no bloodshed.

And o'course the EC will reply/react to the message from GHE.

And hey! The avatars are back!

I would use the Coalition emblem, but my nebula is so beautiful...

Re: ***********Attention

It seems the Registration and password settings have changed when i first activated [LordLMP] :P besides, forgot the pass and the cookie on my comp for it... so i created i new account, also realizing that they allow hotmail and so on again.

just starting to get internet connection at my workplacement, which as high speed... have net at the home i living at with 11 other people, but the connection suck as it is not high speed and disconnects :/


anyway, Sprayber, the Galaxy isn't that small :P galaxy is like 60k-100k lightyears long and wide.... were the stars in the map i created spans only 20-50 lightyears. Also, Sol is nowhere close to the galactic core....it is part of cluster of stars at the edge of a galactic arm near the edge of the galaxy. so don't go off making the Universe look heck lot smaller then it really is :P

anyway, still haven'tread the story fully yet, so won't be able to be the realist critic for bit on that area.... but all the stuff said here i will, and the details posted on the site


-LMP

[Mellian]

as for the GHE zone, why not simply make a semi circle which faces towards Sol...as no one knows how far Hive influence expands to...

The Cyborgs are based at that star which i annoyingly forgot at the moment located near Tau Ceti..... that star where that sci-fi Test of Time scenerio is located at. Cyborgs don't let anyone enter the system for some reason, even for trade.

I say the major stars shouldbe habitated :P

So what do you say? The Coalition will be more pissed of then ever, and will do anything to prevent membership. Also they will continue harassing the colony, and though they won't directly attack it, they still consider it a colony of theirs.

They do not consider the Nova Saturna as the legal regime of the colony, you see. They might give up on wanting the colony back, but they'll still want the monarch system abolished and a democratic parliament instated.

Trying to overfrow a government rightfully followed by it's people, are we now Kass? NS would just love to annoy EC (whoever is in the head of government - they don't care). BTW, I was thinking of Maria Sanchez having a living link (her uncle) to some European monarchy, but I don't know which one should it be! Any suggestions?

Also, I will make it so that a few Belter clans would settle in the Saturn system and work in a sort of a coalition with the Titan government, until Titan itself launches colonies to other moons of Saturn, from fears of overcrowing (figure - GREEN ECONOMICS )

Sprayber, do you want me to send in-depth details on the Titan society?

PS. THANK GOD THE AVATARS ARE BACK!!!

[History Guy]

Oh, and by the way, to Franky and Kassiopeia, in this new post I am including a Mr. Sym, who shall, if you like, be a traitor later on in the story, and will be selling secrets to the Hive, and perhaps the Terrans (if the price is right). This guy is going to be pretty smelly, but you may find him invaluable when the war progresses...that is until he gets his just desserts!

[Kassiopeia]

Now, Cybergod, I have left you some living space in my post. The Earth fleet is now around Titan, ready to strike.

The Terran Council has assembled in the Terran Alliance Headquarters.

I say, now it's the time for your breathtaking speech on behalf of Titan and Rhea gaining a membership.

BTW, I was thinking of Maria Sanchez having a living link (her uncle) to some European monarchy, but I don't know which one should it be! Any suggestions

Well, considering her apparent Spanish heritage, her uncle could be a descendant of the king of Spain, Juan Carlos - of the royal family of Bourbon.

Ah, a typical Morganite apparently.

That sounds really good History! Thanks for opening up the Morganic people to the brilliance of the GHE. (kidding).

So, is this Mr. Sym an agent for the Hive mostly and selling additional stuff to the Terrans...or is he basically a disgruntled Morganite?

Either way, thanks!

....now only if those dang Spartans would understand the wonderous Hive...

[Frankychan]

Kass,

The message to the Sol system was supposed to be secret! The Earth Coalition isn't supposed to know the message is from the Hive....oh well, if possible can you some how explain how you found out the message is from us?

Actually, I think I can clarify this situation...how's this:

The message on the body of the InEn man was lost. Minister Ehud, impatient to start a war, transmits the message and accidentally leaves the 'GHE' tag marker on it.

How's that? If this sounds good, I'll include it in my next post!

[Mr. President]

Anybody like some apocalyptic weapons? I can provide you with some stuff I gleaned from a Carl Sagan book. Basically what you do is use nuclear blasts (or in our timeline you might use anti-gravity boosters) to divert asteroids off course and smash them into rogue planets or satellites. Of course, it consumes too much time, energy, and resources to be part of a sustained strategy, but could be a course of desperation or fanaticism.

[Frankychan]

Weapons of desttruction and other fun stuff...

As I see it,

Redirecting an asteroid would be very risky (not to mention unconventional) and whoever is trying it may not succeed. I see nukes (for Terrans), planet busters (for Chironians), and biological/chemical attacks as an atrocity or something that is done as a last ditch effort/action done in secret/to just get rid of annoyances.

However, I can see a government experimenting on redirecting an asteroids path for destructive purposes...whether or not they succeed is a different story.

Ok, I'm gonna post a description of Hive "government" *snicker* in the same thread that Mr. President put his. That way, we're both clustered around each other.

One last thing---->I've only just realized all the stuff that Emperor Yang has his hands in....dang!

[History Guy]

Franky (I'm posting shortly), I'm not sure whether Sym should be a Hive plant or just a slug who sees a chance at making a few extra energy credits. I prefer the latter, though I think he'd be a bit mysterious in some ways as to what he actually is. Only two things are for sure as of yet, and they are 1) he will give the Hive information on anything the Hive wants, if the price is right, and 2) he'll get killed off spectacularly.

Which do you prefer? Having him a Hive plant, or an unscruplous rotten apple?

Oh, and by the way, the wounded Spartan spy appears briefly in my post.
