Beyond Alpha Centauri:::: Discussion Thread 5

[Mr. President]

Because I am running the Terran Alliance and they are not push overs.

I don't think anybody implied that they were.

[Frankychan]

Sovereign-yeah, I think that link should work. I haven't been upkeeping my website so....my bad.

As for the "weakness" of the Terrans-

I, for one, do not think they are weak! Maybe because of the lopsidedness of the author distribution makes them seem more "weaker". Readers are seeing more Chironian posts than Terran posts and this presentation may be the cause of the perceived Terran "weakness".

....sorry, i'm getting all 'psychological' on everyone!

But, yeah, I don't think the Terrans are weak! Yang has big plans for them!

Anyway, I'm going to start introducing a Hive subplot to the story. Everything I have done so-far has been geared toward my main plot and I feel that this may be a "welcomed" break. If any readers were wondering where I was going, I welcome any PM-ed questions to me.

My growing alliance with the University, the Hive's involvement in the Terran-Morgan war, the Protectorate-Hive relationship falling apart, all of these are geared toward Yang's master plan!

Bwa ha ha ha!

(although the UCSS-GHE alliance will benefit both of our governments! I believe Randius Zakharov and Sheng-ji Yang will make a great team!)

See ya later everyone!

[Kataphraktoi]

whats yangs master plan anyway?complete enslavement of the galaxy?

I, for one, do not think they are weak! Maybe because of the lopsidedness of the author distribution makes them seem more "weaker". Readers are seeing more Chironian posts than Terran posts and this presentation may be the cause of the perceived Terran "weakness".

i never considered them to be weak.just that the chiron factions are stronger

[Frankychan]

Well...Yang's master plan is....hey, how come you don't have a PM option above your postings?!

[Lonestar]

Well all, I'm going to Boot tomorrow. Assume the Protectorate is in "sleep" mode.

Adios!

[Frankychan]

Good luck Lonestar!

Best wishes from frankychan! You take care of yourself.

[Mr. President]

[sings]

In the Navy, yes you can put your mind at ease!

[/sings]

Give 'em hell, Lonestar! And if you see Saddam, tell him what he can kiss.

[Kataphraktoi]

Well...Yang's master plan is....hey, how come you don't have a PM option above your postings?!

me?i dont know...maybe i disabled it when i registered...

looking back over the last few posts,i see everyone has a send pm option and i dont

[Mr. President]

Yeah, when I view your profile, there is a definite absence of a "Send Cataphract887 a Private Message" link. If you want to enable it, you should go to your Edit Options screen from your control panel and there should be a thing you can check that says "Allow users to send you private messages" or something like that.

[Kataphraktoi]

thanks ill muck around with that today and see if i can get that fixed

[Silence]

Good luck Lonestar

[Sovereign]

Hey guys...

I'm kind of at a stump here...

Here's the thing. I'm not exactly sure which Quantum stuff to write about... Quantum reactors, Quantum weapons, Quantum computer processors, etc??

I don't want to suddenly have quantum stuff in 2 weeks, you know? What would be a good springing off board for quantum tech experiments??


Thanks for your feedback!



Laters,

Academician Randius Zakharov

[GeneralTacticus]

Most likely Quantum Reactors. They come first in the game, after all.

[Mr. President]

I'd say quantum computers, since that doesn't involve controlling reactions that release enormous amounts of energy. Just my opinion.

Not if the energy is very high in watts. Basing my judgement of energy credit value in SMAC/X energy credit. Like, how energy it takes to power a base? how much energy is required to build something? Energy as a lot of applications and uses, where paper money or gold doesn't. It is even bigger of need then money itself these days. SO, energy is very valueble, especially as we progress more and more in technology.

i thought the great despression(your talking about the one inn the states 1920ish?) was caused by the market having a slight sudden drop,and investers panicking a little,and pulling stocks,causing other people to panic and pull there stocks,leading to a economic collapse...or something like that

No, I am talking the next Great Depression that will come due to heavy inflation and so on, which is increasing every single year. people treated 1000 dollars US as we do a Million now. the way the rate is go7ing, well be treating a billion the same way as we do with a million now.
