Beyond Alpha Centauri::::::::Discussion Thread 8

Jeez,

You guys have been active! Sovereign, sounds like a plan. I'm 1/2 way done with the post so it'll be up (hopefully) soon. Just for background info, the Hive attitude toward the Believers is still, in game terms, Truce....so Sheng-ji won't interfere with Believer affairs, but will aid the University in it's affairs if they need it. (Since the University and the Hive are cementing a Pact).

[Frankychan]

Argh, ok. I'll incorporate Randius' message to Yang in my post....I'm getting confused if this is BAC or Star Wars. If it's possible, can we try not to use Star Wars characters and names in the future, please? It's just that I'm getting confused, but other than that every thing looks good!

[Lonestar]

I'm begin the long hard drive to San Diego (from DC) in about an hour, so I won't be up for awhile (maybe in Ft. Worth while visiting my grandfolks this weekend).

Viya con Dios.

[Frankychan]

Kick a**, Lonestar!

[Sovereign]

Okay, I made some editing to my post.

I changed the Daala character to a different one, but I really liked Pellaeon from the Extended Universe books.

He'll most likely be the only "overt" Star Wars based character in my faction. Devlin Yezprach is a blend of several Star Wars characters, but no overt character basing.

Franky

check your PM's. I'm trying not to use Star Wars people, but they're soooo fun to write about.

Lets have a blast over the summer!

[Sovereign]

Oh! I forgot to mention that I fixed that nitpick, Silence

I changed the Hunter-Seekers to Believing Fighters.

Thanks for catching that oversight, Silence

[Silence]

Not a problem, I think it would be a bit more disconcerting for the UA forces to see destroyer size ships launching from a frigate

[Sovereign]

Heh... I guess I need to brush up on Believing information.

Do you have any information I could use, like ship sizes, functions, ground troops, ground tactics, etc. so I won't make more mishaps or oversights in the future?

Feel free to launch an counter-attack. My forces will regroup, repair, then go after Earth in my next post (after your counter-attack post) if thats good, setting the stage for the ground invasion.

Star Wars characters...uh-oh...

I just have to rant for a minute...

Without Kass, who will control Greg and Filkins? And whatever happened to Mr. Sym?

And most of all, why is it that we never create characters that we keep for very long at all unless they are in the government? I mean, Kass is the only one, I think, who introduced characters who appeared on a regular basis. Mr. President did the same sort of thing, but I haven't seen Sam in ages. I even tried it with my garbage guys...but they couldn't go anywhere...unless.........

And why are all these wars suddenly breaking out like hey-wire? When will we have a period of peace? High culture?

Ok. Scratch that last one.

(Luckily, at this point, the soapbox cracks through)

I remember Sam! I must have been thinking of Kate Winslet when I made up his name, because I mentioned somewhere that his last name is "Mendes", even spelled like her boyfriend's and not what I would consider the "correct" way.

I honestly was going to write a story about him going to Sparta but that was such a long time ago, I don't think I could post it now - too much in-story time has elapsed. But thanks for reminding me of him - he's definitely a character I would bring back into the story.

Well, I've begun resurrecting charecters that were obscure from the Protectorate's POV.

Made it Ft. Worth Okay. Got in last night. Loooonnngggg story that I'll post in detail in the OT tonight. I ended up giving a ride to a female friend (get your minds outta the gutter!) Who's trip to San Diego fell through. She's in the navy also.

[Mr. President]

What's up with you, Lonestar? Do you just like to see your name as the last one in the Beyond Alpha Centauri thread?

[Frankychan]

Holy crap, that came outta no where!

Just for the sh**s and giggles baby!

[History Guy]

Franky, what's up with Emperor Yang? I'm dying to hear how he's doing. And where's Mr. Sym? Have we killed him already?

Post a story and find out.

Although in this case I was going to post some filler on the battle of Sluis Van anyway...
