Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
Morgan has a Executive Directorship of CHOAM. Which means he has a say in how it's run. Eventually, we'd like to bring MI into the Free Trade Zone CHOAM encompasses.
How does that feel, mister capitalist?
Today, you are the waves of the Pacific, pushing ever eastward. You are the sequoias rising from the Sierra Nevada, defiant and enduring.
Firaxis as they are pretty much have contact with nearly all of the factions and so on. They are also neutral and independent. besides, rather it be the Treaty of Firaxis then Treaty of New Antonio... and not to keen of having the facist protectorate as mediators not much in known about them and they just recently came out of blue and become active diplomaticly.
(just came up as a thought... independent means a single world or system not alligned with any bigger faction. once the independent starts colonizing, conquer, or simply take a non-neutral stance, they pretty much become a faction and not considered a independent anymore...anyway, whatever)
I can rap things up from the TAF's point of view, then have background organization of the treaty. May be a couple of BAC weeks or more before all sides sit at a table at Firaxis... all sides that are involved, meaning i see no reason for the Protectorate to get into that, even if they offered to help. Firaxis will be the mediators... as for the sides: Morgan Insterstellar, Terran Alliance and Spartan Federation. maybe the Free Drone Republic as well, but didnt have any direct involvement in the war by the time of the cease-fire.
another note, The ships currently in FTL will not know yet of the Cease-fire until they get to their destination and Comms their Commands... so there is a possibility of Cease fire being broken non-intentionally... so how will you people resolve that?
In other news, sort of loosing interest on BAC in general sure i have playing around with the Pirates...but just interested in developing the society, the faction... not the game itself.
I will still play, just, my mind isn't really into it as it was last week and before.... especially since i started thinking about starting up game base around Master of Orion 3...with modifications history wise... and modifications to the universe itself ...like with did with BAC in a way. working on the concept and the set rules.... may as well work out the structure, then post it and then modify depending on the players interest before started the game. ..and generally basing on Moo3 mechanics, technologies, and so on will be more stable then we did with BAC
decided to post that after reading up on the never-ending story thing going on at civfanatic.
The logical place to hold the talks is at Firaxis.
Main participants.
Firaxians-as netural party
Spartans-Legal representative of the cooperate sector
Terran Alliance/Earth Coalation- don't know how you guys want to handle that.
Morgan Interstellar-
Others can be around as observors if they think that their faction has an interest in being there.
Mellian: Once again. Soccer is going to be one of many backstories. It's just a way for different writers to get across an alternative view of a faction. ex. Firaxian view of Spartan society. We all know what the authors think of their own society. Lets get it from another standpoint. It's not a soccer story. If I wanted this to be a futuristic sports story, then American Football would reign supreme

Hey now. The Protectorate has a Senate and everything.

I'm in for the soccer tourament. Even though I don't know much about soccer, I like the idea. Too much war-mongering and feuding going on in BAC. We need some normal citizen stuff, to give a better perpsective of the BAC universe as seen from the normal everyday people, not from a military perpsective.
I'm finally wrapping up my busy week, hopefully I can get two or three story posts by next week. I think one will deal with some Quantum experiments, like Quantum Reactors, lasers, computers, etc. Just your basic "work or explode" stuff
The other post will involve the Berrik ruins, giving it more detail and depth.
The third post may concern some UCS - Hive stuff, if thats ok with you Franky?
I'm going to make it a point to have the UCS focus on exploration, research, etc. as well as civil stuff, rather than warmongering, invasion, or vendettas. Maybe some with the Believers, but that's the only faction that the UCS will actively be aggressive to.
I'm seriously thinking about adding one or two more colonies, to grow through the time-warp. I'd like to describe how a UCS pinoeer colony grows into a full fledged "Star State" over several years and posts, to give the reader a good idea how the UCS develops.
Pretty much about it. What are your thoughts and feelings on these ideas?

don't have to repeat yourself and doesn't change the fact i am loosing interest...and not because of the soccer thing.
Sovereign- Sounds good! Sorry that i've been dragging my butt, finals and all...
Mr. President-Proper neurochemical treatment! You make it sound barbaric!
History Guy-Nwabudike will probably be shocked at the incoming message
For the soccer stuff- frankychan says that if the majority of the authors want it, then they should have it. An alternative would be to create a totally separate thread dedicated to the Galactic Cup Soccer League (or whatever you guys call it)
Hive won't be participating for obvious reasons...Playing soccer will be considered treason in the Empire until it is state-sanctioned.

I like baseball too. Are the Believers good at it? Someone can cover the Believing soccer teams, no problem.
If BAC becomes a soccer thing, i am definatly leaving. I am into sci-fi interactive story, not soccer in the bloody future. If i wanted it, i would go join some Fantasy Soccer game somewhere on the internet.
Like everyone's said, it's just a flavor subplot. Almost every post I've read so far is war, war, war. All I see on television these days is war, war, war. All I read in the papers and in the Off-Topic forum is war, war, war. All my friends talk about is war, war, war, and math, math, math.
oh wait, i have an idea, Pirates decides to wreck a stadium, hmmm

Sounds good to me.

You could demonstrate the superiority of Hive society by dominating the soccer field as you do space! The Soviet Union won a silver medal in the 1988 European Championships while being a closed society.
In non-soccer related news, I intend to go into more depth on the Ophelia situation. Authorities there will listen in on native media transmissions (early-twentieth-century type stuff) which will of course prompt some discussion. Some military type people will advocate an extreme solution (not the one you might expect - it'll involve what might be called aggressive terraforming).
not much in known about them and they just recently came out of blue and become active diplomaticly. 
Sounds good to me.
