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

[GeneralTacticus]

That was the Soldiers of God, Conclave mercenaries. the Hammer of God is a Believer rebel group.

[Kassiopeia]

The Coalition doesn't see it that way.

[GeneralTacticus]

You mean the Coalition sees all Believers as enemies and hence doesn't care what happens to them?

[Kassiopeia]

Well some of them don't see all of them as enemies but at their current state couldn't care less what happens to them.

[Mr. President]

not really, you people still haven't answered to my compromise option, which as room for even more compromises...and willing to make a deal with MarkG to ban me from Apolyton if I break any...if he is willing.

Here's the rub. Generally compromises are good. But myself and Kassiopeia feel that there have been a large number of bad experiences relating to our relationship with you in the past, and we fear them being repeated or added to in the future.

It's a difficult situation, no doubt. If Mellian walks back in, myself, Kassiopeia, and probably History Guy will leave in protest - halving the number of writers and possibly crippling the story just by literary volume. If the debate continues until Mellian leaves, Beyond Alpha Centauri may be so poisoned that it will not be worth continuing.

So I am going to blow the emergency hatch, show myself a red card, and planeswalk away from this thread. If I have championed a false cause over the last two days, then I am truly sorry.

[Kassiopeia]

For several months I've myself had thoughts of leaving BAC. These had little to do with the situation with Mellian, however, but more personal reasons. Her reappearance was the drop that caused the flood, though...

I've started in a new school now, and here it's an entirely different ballgame - I'll have to actually work to get any good grades. Also, in terms of literary ambitions, I've decided to focus more on writing in Finnish as I feel I'm more apt there, and I've got many issues I feel a need to deal with, but are not BAC related or wouldn't fit the general tone and plot of the story.

I don't really know what this message is. Probably a good bye, I'm afraid. I don't think there's anything left for me to contribute to this story, and if I stayed I'd be just ballast. I haven't even had the time to read the recent additions there, and my general idea of what is actually happening outside Earth is getting fuzzy.

But... it's a great story. I hope you can continue it even without me.

[Kassiopeia]

Almost forgot - I've got no dibs for the fate of the Coalition. If someone wants the background files I've written (took them off my page yesterday) PM me and we can arrange something.

[Mellian]

Mellian, to be frank, I'm not buying that you could do a compromise. Why not write your own story if you can be satisfied with a small part in BAC?

And I'd like to hear Sprayber's input on this as well.

Silence, HOG Planet? HOG meaning...?

I more interested in BAC because i helped create her. else, no point starting a story in AC Fiction, as like you people say, my track record is not really good.

I CAN do compromise, i have done it before with you people. so don't say i cannot. i had to compromise in the last 8 months, i still do and i am doing heck of a lot better now then before.

-Mellian

[Mellian]

people i say am stubborn and can't do compromises

your the ones poisoning BAC at the moment, not me. so people better not give the credit for ruining back without a real vote wether i should stay or not. yet, you people are not making the decision for my fate here. why? maybe because you already plan to ditch BAC anyway? Have I caused any problems since i came back? No. you people are, being so close minded and not letting the past go or even willing to compromise. You three are acting quite similarly as i did before. so if anyone is going to ruin BAC, it is not me...and i am not officially back either as i waiting for a Collective decision by the writers, which i am not seeing much of.

I want to have fun, and im sure you people do to. so stop the seriousness, getting ridicilous.

-Mellian

[Silence]

Ok,


The 3 groups that I have are

The Conclave: Government of the moderate belivers

The Hammer of God: the robed nutters, (think word of blake if you are into battletech)

The Soliders of God: The Conclave miltary forces that are currently serving with Morgan in return for some energy credits.

But since nobody seems to care that I am going to to a very nasty thing to them, I guess when I get a chance I will write up a post this week.

[Frankychan]

What the freeking heck, guys? Can't we just wait and let things cool down first, instead of making brash decisions first??? I don't want anyone to leave and that is that. I think we should wait for Sprayber to return to, at the very least, get his opinion on things. Can you guys give frankychan at least that much.......p-l-e-a-s-e-???

Silence-I care of what you do with the Hammer of God and your plot. However, since you seem to just have interfaction events, I believe that what you choose with your faction would be the right noe.

GUYS & GALS! Please don't leave yet, wait for Sprayber to see what's up. Can you give me that much?

Please? :sad:

I'm just curious, who will be chucking that asteroid at FTL speeds? will it be like ala Starship Troopers style, but using Quantum Tunneling/Slipstream?

don't worry franky, i won't ditch ya

[History Guy]

Hmmm...well, Mellian, since you've now chased off Kassiopeia and, it seems, Mr. President, are you going to hold true to your word, i.e., if they leave, you'll leave?

And, if we ever do get to the Peace Conference, which I now doubt, I was wondering if Morgan himself could spark the Civil War between the Earth Coalition and the Terran Alliance, via a document from a spy, or sympathizer, in the Earth Coalition itself, which appears to be executive orders for the assassination of Tremaine...

[History Guy]

By the way, I am also gone. I'll check back if Sprayber returns to straighten things out, and if he don't, I'm gone for good. Sorry, but I think that this is just how it's going to work. I am truly sorry to have to do this, but Mellian either is too thick to understand our protests, or simply (and I think this is the case) refuses to listen to them. So, without further ado, I leave you. May God bless the rest of you.
