I guess then that Sovereign will have little trouble in getting himself a quantum computer!

Despot-(1a) : a ruler with absolute power and authority (1b) : a person exercising power tyrannically

You can add that it was also a Byzantine title for a ruler.

I didn't think anyone caught that! Change noted and added.

Yes, even if he does jump on the bandwagon seven hundred odd years late...

As science fiction writers, we now have to work overtime to keep up with reality!

That's the drawback with following the example of Arthur C. Clarke.

Mr. President-a Serra (sp?) Angel as an avatar? I'm more partial to Blue myself.....haven't played in years though. Counterspell decks are so much fun!

[Mr. President]

Oh my God! You know the Serra Angel! I didn't suspect you because you never joined in the Magic threads in the OT or Other Games. Cool!

I usually play green myself, but usually just against my sister since I'm not really involved with the local Magic community. We don't have a great number of cards, and I've been looking to buy a couple of boosters; unfortunately, it's very hard to find around here.

And Counterspell decks are fun, as long as you're the one dishing it out.

[Frankychan]

Oh yeah I know some Magic: The Gathering. I used to play it about 4~6 years ago. I think they were on 5th edition. Legends just came out along with some of the other expansions.....but it got ridiculous so my firends and i stopped.

We all had our different colors and different decks. My friends was Weenie Black. 4 Bad Moons, will-o-wisps, and skeletons. Along w/Zombies and Zombie Master. I was Counterspell Guy. I had so many different variations of the counterspell that no one could cast anything! All I had were Prodigal Sorcerers (I think that's what they were called) and used them to zap away at my opponents.

Green is fun when you have a whole bunch walls and a lot of Stream-of-Lifes. I got up to 100 hitpoints before my friend conceded.

[Frankychan]

oh, the reason i never joined the magic threads is because, like i said, i haven't played in ages!

I'd be an old fart, saying the same old stuff over and over again.

So Kass, how about nuking Earth (EC would finally leave us alone ) nyah, nyah, nyah...

Sovereign, please check your PMs.

Sprayber, please respond: which star-systems are available near UCS space? Plase give me a good name!

[History Guy]

Cybergod-- That's what Morgan wants to do when the Peace Conference take a...(deep, suspenseful voice)...DRAMATIC TURN. Sadly, he's just got to be content with causing some nice trouble in Tranquil City...ahahahahahahahahahhaha!

[Cybergod]

History (and everyone) I have reached a deal with Sovereign that we evacuate our colonists to a new world, a new system all to ourselves (along with Scions, who are welcome to join us, along with any AIs or extra-terrestrials ), near UCS territory. We will sign an alliance will UCS which will allow us to trade tech/energy etc but also station a small UCS fleet in our territory for early protection.

If Morgan proposes something, he should air it.... now!

[Kassiopeia]

Oh yes, sounds like a plan to rid Sol of the Scions. Good. The TA mess will piss them majorly off.
