Beyond Alpha Centauri::::::Discussion Thread 6

[Kassiopeia]

Kass: Do you know where I can find out about the nominations? I just nominated myself for Director of Peacekeeping Operations and posted my campaign speech, however I'm now unsure of whether my nomination will be accepted.

I'm pretty sure that now that you've aired your wish to run for the positions. There are no official channels to decide in a borderline situation yet, so I'm not sure what you should do. If Tassadar5000 puts you on the Nominations list (when he gets online), you should be ok. I see no logical reason for you not to run, though. It'd be pretty nitpicky to just ignore you if you were a bit late (were you, btw?).

No idea. I haven't seen anything posted up about the nominations closing outside this thread.

Oh. I just assumed so since the debates started to open up. (shrug)

(hints at sig) I got a bit carried away there.

As for the rest of my friends, they all went to a hotel to do drugs (which I find deplorable) and left them to their own demise.

Good for you.

For events not within frankychan's life, here's what's up...

Yang has contacted the University delegates on planet Drone Mound. Sheng-ji also knows about Menelaus' plea to Kristy Adams and Marcus Kessel....Yang plans on sending a "warning".

For the Earth Coalition, GHE forces will try to update their information as soon as Drone/Spartan and UCS messages are sent.

Ah, now this is getting to the fun part. I can't wait to read this!

BTW- The Gaians stance on this galatic affairs shouldn't interrupt the GHE's plans for universal conquest.

Now, are we making Deirdre the perfect idealistic pacifist that she was in Dragon Sun, or the way she is in the game? 'Cause if it's the former, I doubt she'd have the will to stop the GHE anyway.


P. S. What does the "N" stand for in (N)CPA?

[Sovereign]

When I came back, I've seen new posts in like 10 threads, and The Wizard of Chiron is back. Wizard was the first fan fic I read here on the forums. I was thinking it'd never end or end up in limbo. Here's hoping to it having a definite "~fin" like Joe!



Franky, expect a PM tonight.

[Frankychan]

Thanks for the replies!

Mr. Prez-glad you think that way. I didn't wanna hang around my other friends if their gonna do drugs and s***, not my bag.

As for Dee and the rest, since it looks like you are the Gaian author, it's up to you to figure out the Gaians stance on everything. The message to Adams and Kessel will be sent after Yang concludes the diplomatic talks on Drone Mound.

The (N) in my locale stands for Neo. The regular CPA members tend to lean toward abrupt, violent change. I advocate for gradual, peaceful change. My ideals are more accepting of other's while regular the regular CPA seems more radical and less tolerant of others. (Sorry for my ramblings! )

Sovereign-Got your PM, thanks! I'll try and construct a reply ASAP. Looks good so far.

1 more thing for whoever can help-

I forget how to put a link to BAC in my sig. How do I do it again? Sorry for my forgetfulness.

[Mr. President]

I'd rather try and make Deirdre a human, rather than a caricature, if you see what I mean. It's too easy to cast her as the idealist or as the eco-terrorist. In reality, all leaders have to face tough decisions, and can't always rely completely on ideology. Sometimes they make mistakes, and sometimes they get it right.

As for the (N)CPA, I don't necessarily agree with everything you believe, but I like what you said about gradual or non-violent change and procedures. My main problem with most movements (that includes vegetarians, socialists, the Young Liberal Party out here (which is actually the conservative party)) is that they think they should make everyone believe what they do, right now.

About links, you can type this in:

[URL = address to be linked]name of link[/URL]

but without the spaces around the equals sign.

It takes a little getting used to, and even now I usually just click on the "Reply" or "New Thread" buttons and use the Hyperlink feature when I want to make a new link.

[Silence]

Tell me guys, did I miss much from my last post?

[Mr. President]

Let's see . . . The Morgan-Terra peace conference is about to begin on Firaxis. Other things are progressing apace. The United Nations Peacekeepers have made an appearance, courtesy of History Guy. The Lakedaemon Civil War is heating up, aided by Menelaus' request for Spartan and Drone assistance and the arrival of a Hiverian battle group. Events are leading up to an encounter between the Hive and the Drones. I think that's about all at the moment.

[Frankychan]

Sovereign-Did I send you a PM yet?

[Kassiopeia]

OMFG. A very mean headache, a sore throat, and still I'm padding my post count here. I'm sorta stuck with everything; I've tried to continue my part for a few times but I always nuke the result. At this rate, any sort of gibberish will do for me.

[Mr. President]

Beyond Alpha Centauri returns! Well, sort of. It's a peace conference-related post, from Firaxis' point of view - relating to some of the preparations and the issues arising from such an important event.

[Frankychan]

Wow, it...lives!

[Kassiopeia]

Thank the Yods. I was just pondering whether we'll return from the dead or be forgotten like so many other story threads before BAC.

[Sovereign]

Kass Yods, eh?



Franky I didn't get a PM yet. Maybe it got lost in the endless corridors and tunnels of Cyberspace.
