Beyond Alpha Centauri:::: Discussion Thread 5

[Sprayber]

I thought I would go ahead and start another thread. 500 hundred was comming up fast.


Mr. President: Nice to see the soccer inclusion. I'll have to be sure and include some Spartan sports.

as for the title. Just advise people about different aspects of the field.

[Lonestar]

I'm just here to say howdy. Howdy!

[Mr. President]

Howdy, Lonestar.

Questions about engineering can now head over my way.

Sam's adventures will only get crazier in the future. I'm planning to have the Razorwings travel to play international club matches in future posts.

In addition, would there be interest in doing/reading a World Cup-type event involving BAC states, in honor of the upcoming real-life soccer tournament? If so, I'd be glad to write/co-write it.

Howdy .


For the non-Americans who don't know, thats how we southerners say hello.



Kass/Mellian: I was looking through some sites and found this cool site on Star furies. It has paint and marker schemes from various fighters including personal star furies for the command staff. Very cool stuff as I did not realize that they were that detailed on some of them.

I had been toying with the idea of having a Spartan Games along the same lines that I had in CC. Events involving different fighting styles, and the more traditional atlethic type events. (no events that the Spartans would consider trivial) But you can use Spartan teams if you want. Just note that the participants would tend to be in their late teens since most adults have already gone to military tasks. Maybe teams from different military schools inside Sparta. And all Spartan teams have both men and women in them.

Very egalitarian.

Spartan Games would be fun. Feel free to use Drone and Firaxian athletes in that. I don't know if they'd be good or not.

I'm getting an idea . . . How hard do Spartans tackle? Seriously, I'll think of some appropriate team names and probably write some more next week.

I was just digging through some ancient AC-Fiction threads, and I remembered one Argonaut, who was involved in the Chiron Chronicles for a long time. His last post was way back here , and there's been no word since then. He just fell off the face of Apolyton. Anybody have any idea what may have become of him?

I don't know what ever became of him. He had said that his time would be limited on poly becuase of different reasons. He then showed up in that thread you posted and asked for the angels and never came back. I would have love for him to write for BAC.

As for the Spartan teams. when a child turns 16 he/she goes to a school desiged to prepare them for thier future career, often determined by government officials depending on scores on varies tests.

From 16-20 they remain in these schools.

The schools are
Military schools(Mainly prep work for the different branches)
More hard core than all other schools

Science Schools(Engineering, Computer, Medical,)
Basic military training also takes place

If you use any Spartan teams, remember that the Spartans will usually work together but there will be a clear leader of the team on the field. Also remember that they are still human and will occasional smile and celebrate(although in a subdued manner) when they win.

Whoops, bang, woosh...(that's the noise of History Guy coming in and tripping over a discarded shredder pistol).

Sorry for my inactivity. Busy week. Busy time. Summer is coming, the geese are getting hot, put a penny in the poor box slot...or something...Anyway, I'll be gone in June for 2 weeks, and again I shall be absent for about three weeks in July...tough stuff, Summer.

Anyway, hopefully today I will finally get that post done and posted. It won't be much, just a failed Pirate attack, a bit of the Morgan anthem, etc. Mellian, the station is not too far from the recently seized stations. It's about 23 or so minutes away, in fact. Half an hour has passed since the first Pirate attacks.

Mr. President--

(OK, let me hop into my garbage war-ship and get that post written...)

[Kassiopeia]

Howdy!

I got so excited of playing Final Fantasy IX that I forgot Apolyton. Yes, it's possible.

Sprayner: Good link to the Starfuries. Thanks.

There's stuff about the Earth education system on my website, could it be this? (Under "Everyday life on Earth" or something to that effect).

[History Guy]

Well, here we go. Another post to join them countless onions...err...minions. Well, the Terrans have taken Naxos, and the Morganites and Terrans have a cease fire. The Pirates have been forced to cease fire as well, by their own masters. Calgacus, the military station, is abandoned and exploded. It looks like peace has broken out!

Thanks, I'll definitely make a note of that. For now I've just been using my VB Notepad to keep notes on my enemies. I suspect Spartan teams would be quite disciplined on the field. I'm thinking of the Italian World Cup teams of 1990 and 1994 as models for their style of play.

[History Guy]

Well, what should I do next postwise? Lonestar, what will Morgan have to do for CHOAM? Franky, how will Yang respond to Morgan?

Mr. President-- Hey! We've got a great Field Croquet Team, maybe we can play against the mighty Drone team...

[Mr. President]

Is field croquet different from regular croquet?

Also, would Morgan Interstellar like to host the Orion Cup? It's a little soccer tournament I'm thinking of, in honor of the World Cup.

[History Guy]

Mr. President:

Nope.

As for the Orion Cup, Morganites would love to host...and take part! Yep...heck, we've ever got our own major league team...all over Morgan space...mostly guys from Pollux, but there's several Cepheleens in it as well. We'd love to take part in the All-Interstellar event!
