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

[Frankychan]

Nod, things are picking up rather nicely!

Sprayber-do you still want to collaborate on the Bree, or just want me to take over some of their background? BTW, is it arright if Yang sends another transmission to Kessel?

Mr. President- Gaian-Hive relationship is mostly research related but we can include them into the EC-UCS-GHE triad....but then we'd have to rename it to Quadripartite-or somethingsomething.....

just gabbing nonsense.

gonna start building up Hive aggression for the upcoming "tussle" match. I don't know if we discussed it, but what will be the reason?

[Frankychan]

Forgot something,

what the heck is that AC-Democracy thread thing added into the AC forums?

If you're talking about what I think you are talking about, then I don't think anyone of us has any clues as to when and why it'll take place.

[Kassiopeia]

frankychan, it's exactly what the name says - the democracy virus strikes again, this time the AC crowd.

[Frankychan]

ROFL, I do not know what this "Democracy" thing is all about, can you kinda explain what Apolytoners do there?

[Kassiopeia]

Oh. The basic idea is that we have a leader, a cabinet of ministers, and they play this single game of SMAC, and they arrange polls, and they officials are elected via votes, so the entire forum crowd basically decides what is done in the game. If we are contacted by Santiago, our Commissioner will act according to our general guideline of diplomacy set by the Minister of Diplomacy, for example. If our stance is to kick Santiago's buttocks the moment we encounter her, then the Commissioner will proceed to do so.

[Mr. President]

Franky - As mentioned in my last post, Drone military intelligence is going to send some probe rafts (small, stealthy crafts with long-range sensors) to the edge of the Hive region. If you like, Hive patrols can find them soon after and destroy or capture them and the incident can be the excuse for the beginning of dialogue between Yang and Adams.

Sorry for all those dumb-ass comments about the Gaian territory earlier. See, I actually did know of Merak and Megrez, but for some reason I thought that they were Morgan planets. Duh!

I think Gaia might want to stay out of the tripartite alliance just to be out of the line of fire, since a frontal assault from the Free Drone Republic looks able to roll over them in no time, at least on the two-dimensional view.

What are your ideas on the background of the Bree Franky? The Hive would have a little more information into the Bree regarding culture but try to keep them somewhat mysterious even to the Hive. The Spartans and Drones would have extensive information as far as fighting them goes since we both spent decades in battle against them but only the stuff one would gather during military operations.

As for the Spark. The cadre system would work but not right now. that should be little later. and yeah go ahead and contact kessel.

[Sprayber]

Ok guys. one more thing.

Let us finish the talks in our next posts. get your leaders down and give your prespective of the talks and the results and let our leaders get on their way back to where ever they are going.


the results are.

MI returns all of taken territory and makes payment that u guys talked about

and

Earth withdraws from the systems of the Cooperate Sector

Spartan then hands over rest of Cooperate sector back to MI.

All in all back to the status quo.

Is this acceptable to everyone?

[Mr. President]

About that last post of mine: I didn't mean to impugn the tripartite military, only that the Gaians might be the weak link in such an alliance, with their distantly smaller population and economy. And they looked sandwiched on the map. No help would be forthcoming from the ever-neutral Firaxis.

That sounds about right with respect to knowledge of the Bree - Sparta and the Republic would have learned about their tactics and military but just about nothing about their culture and history.

As for the Cadre Civil War, it also seems like a powderkeg to me, waiting for a fuse. Bring that in later.

I know I'm not directly writing for this, but why was Morgan paying reparations again? It seems to me that he'd feel tremendously wronged in this conflict. I remember a few story pages ago he was in fact demanding restitution from Earth for the actions of InEn.

[History Guy]

Morgan??! Hand over Capella! Never!! Come and get me you Terrans!! (loads shredder rifle)

Actually, I thought that the Terrans could hold onto their conquered spots and the Morganites would hold onto Capella (as he has found something there, something he hasn't told you guys about, that is worth more to him than the Corporate Sector!). As for reparations, those things aren't really in the plans, but are a safe guard. Just in case the Terrans decide not to listen to reason, etc. Morgan isn't going to use the money if he doesn't have to. It's a last resort. He wants the war over so he can start operations in Capella...ummm...I mean...so the Spartans don't loose any more land in the Corporate Sector.

[Kassiopeia]

Ok. So we'll have the situation so that we'll have our respective representatives down at Firaxis. All Earth cabinet members aren't dead yet, so I should have someone there, my M of Foreign Affairs probably. The Terran Alliance rep will be there too, of course the TA won't be around much longer but still.

So... my rep will have his voice in the next post... down at Firaxis. He'll suggest the restoration of the status before the war, but I guess if Morgan proposes what History proposed here, they'll agree.

[GeneralTacticus]

I'm really leaving this time

We have confirmation this time around that the builders actually *WILL* turn up this time, so we're leaving today.

[Mr. President]

See you soon, General. Have a nice time.

I read through the whole story in my spare minutes (when did it get so long? ), and fixed some glaring mistakes in my posts.

[Frankychan]

Peace out GeneralTac-see ya when you get back.

Uh, I hope I have been consistent.....from what you can tell, have I?

(Nevermind my usual ramblings though! )
