<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">This reminds me, am I correct that you cannot propose a "lower" treaty than you currently have, without breaking the original treaty first?

I know you can "upgrade" treaties, but I don't think you can "downgrade" them.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No, that is not correct. You can downgrade treaties without cancelling them. Although I never saw it happen till recently in a game. It may be something relativly new cause before that game I thought as you did.

I think that you have always been able to downgrade treaties just like upgrading them. It rarely happens though, which is why you probably haven't seen it in a long time. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

So enemy_unknown, how do you think the war should go? From your initial attack, it is obvious your game skills are going to carry the day in this war! However, it won't make a very good story if I give in to your demands. I just think if we leave it to skill on skill, it's almost a forgone conclusion! Let me know what you think!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Indeed you have no hope to win. By making public my peace conditions, I gave you a way to escape annihilation. What are you waiting for to start negociations ? Christmas http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ?

Then, about the financial compensations. You had a TR treaty with me not so long ago. You know what are my resources productions. You know I do not need at all these 20k mineral..Etc.. per turn. But think about WW1. The peace treaty of WW1 seed the roots of WW2. So is the peace treaty I made for you. The peace that will come will only seed the roots of future wars. You'd better start creating alliances, especially when it is becoming obvious that the Tyreans are close allied of the Katana Imperium. These resources are just an humiliation launched at the face of your corporation.

Last : your chairman. If you really need to save him, try to create a plot, and send it to me, we could work it out if it is convincing enough.

Re: History of the Galaxy II Discussion Thread
 
Well, enemy_unknown, I don't see how that would really be much fun for me to roleplay, so I guess I'll just have to play the battle out. I doubt my mega-conglomerate would surrender so easily, but it sounds like you have your storyline already.

Fyron: I read the Messages, and I wasn't clear if you were saying we are at war or not. If we are, I have no idea why, but I guess I can take your empire on too. After the war ends I can figure out why, I suppose.

Unknown_Enemy March 19th, 2003 05:47 PM
Re: History of the Galaxy II Discussion Thread
 
You are wrong, I have no storyline on this part yet. These were mere suggestions. We can indeed fight it out, but it seems a bit...pointless. As you did not develop Intel, I am probably able to tople out your empire just with intel projects without sending any warship to you.

What I proposed seemed to me an interesting proposal (story wise), but...You're the one to decide, not me.

sachmo March 19th, 2003 06:29 PM
Re: History of the Galaxy II Discussion Thread
 
I have some intel, but I spent most of my research on the financial aspects of the game...because I'm a megacompany! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif The unfortunate side effect of this choice is that I will indeed be crushed by someone who geared up for war.

Sorry if I misread you, but it looked like you were saying either accept these peace demands or be destroyed. Not much option for a story there, as I see things. Alas, that is the way with history sometimes!

So, do your worst, and I will survive as long as I can!

Unknown_Enemy March 19th, 2003 06:45 PM
Re: History of the Galaxy II Discussion Thread
 
I did went for military research very recently, but when I did my research output was around 10 times yours. But let's put the problem differently.

The Tyrean made public their peace conditions, and are moving to a war time economy. You seem to doubt your capacity to survive. What do you do now to survive ? Find something. surprise us !

And most important, put it in the story.....

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Then you did not read all of them. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif I quite clearly stated that neither you nor the Tyreans would be allowed to send military vessels into or through Heru space. You have sent a large force of warships into Niobe. I warned you to turn them around immediately. We are not at war, unless you continue to abuse our neutrality in this issue.

Re: History of the Galaxy II Discussion Thread
 
Wow...that intelligence stuff is rough. I have no idea how to fight back. I hope my limited PBW skills aren't ruining the game for anyone, but it looks like the Tyreans are going to be the power to beat once they are finished with me! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Unknown_Enemy March 20th, 2003 10:43 AM
Re: History of the Galaxy II Discussion Thread
 
No, my intel attack are not so rough. I only steal your maps. I don't steal your ships anymore, I dont kill your pop or decrease your planet's values.

Then, be advised there are 4 superpowers in this quadrant. You know what ? The Tyreans are very far from number one.

Also, who said that the Tyreans intended to wipe out your specie ?????

The History of the Galaxy, Part II

You will not even be required to do a lot of intense in game role play. All we ask is that you play your empire in an intersting manner, and as consistantly as is possible for you to do. This will give those that are planning on writing story Posts monre interesting events and characters to write about. We also ask that you stick with the game as long as you can, it may be months. And that you be aware the purpose fo this game is not nessecarily to win , but to generate some interesting events for others in the game to write about.

You don't have veto powers Unknown_Enemy! In fact, no one does. And, there is no possible result of a motion of "intel sucks" being passed. So, a veto wouldn't do anything even if someone had veto power. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Ok, if you must know what led me to believe that you intended to wipe out my race and take over my planets, I present to you the following quote:

Quote:
Indeed you have no hope to win. By making public my peace conditions, I gave you a way to escape annihilation. What are you waiting for to start negociations ? Christmas ?
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">So, if I was reading you right, you were telling me to accept the peace offer you extended, or be destroyed by intel and my own ships. I was merely stating that if this were the case, I could not fight back, and my race would be destroyed. I guess that's where I was confused. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Unknown_Enemy March 21st, 2003 10:54 AM
Re: History of the Galaxy II Discussion Thread
 
Good point.
The annihilation word was stupid. But indeed if we have to fight it out , you will not get such generous conditions.

BTW I stopped to take control of your ships because I dont want one of your former captain glassing a world just for the fun of it.

Just found a computer with which I can post, I will not be able to post/play/RP until wednesday evening, I got my turns played by a friend who has strict instructions to hit "next turn" and nothing else when he has one to play.

So if you send a message, do not expect any answers fron that or these turns.
