Space Empires 101 - Galactic Council

[Wardad]

Cyber Empires will be taking a long 4th of July weekend, 1st to 4th.

I think others will also.
So maybe we should be on Last Player Upload, 1st to 6th of July?


BTW: I can understand Terran C's postion with the Electrum. Well spoken mate!

We of the Pride are not demanding that sole access to those be given to us, the wendigo; (I assume that's what you meant by free access) we are demanding that we be given ownership of them. Should you want the right to colonize those systems we have asked for, you shall recieve that right; we are only asking to the intergalactic community to recognize our right to give you that right by ways of barter and diplomacy.

My right is the right of the first settled.
If you have forgotten to grab Electrum planets for a year now, while we were all busy fighting Dei, too bad for you.

It is true that we have not aided your nation and other nations militarily during your struggles against the Electrum Empire; and if I understood you correctly, yes, we did maintain diplomatic links and trade with Electrum, and in doing so, possibly the deis. But I ask you, my dear marshal, what would you have done in my position? Declare open war against Electrum, and sacrifice the entire pride to 100-strong dreadnought fleets of his? Do you really think we had a chance with our defunct police force of light cruisers against his armada? We nations that lack in force have in large quantities of wisdom; wisdom that has saved us from being a martyr to your so-called heroic struggle against Electrum and others. And you also say that we had supplied Electrum with our resources? I believe that you are mistaken, for nations that control 20 planets cannot logically feed the war machine of an empire that controls 100.

We have proposed to you to join our alliance, Flesh eaters, Arterias, Royal corpo and even Dog warriors have done so, you could have helped too, but in fact you're a coward, aren't you ?

OoC: Alarikf, yes, politics are fun. I'd love to continue territorial disputes with just about everyone in the game, especially WarDad and Trooper , but unfortunatey, I'll be without internet access until July 12th, due to my moving of dwellings. I'll try to issue orders and queue up on things so that the game could run on schedule during my absence.

OoC: Trooper, what do you mean by PMs? I don't remember getting any PMs of yours?

Very unfortunate, indeed. Remember "absent ones are always wrong".

I've send an alliance proposal using political Messages, but maybe you've missed the turn...
Made another one one or two turns ago.

RCC positions

Colonization issues:

The RCC has no interest in colonizing or claiming any former Electrum worlds.

We do, however, of course, feel it is a good time to re-iterate that the RCC will recolonize all it's planets (RCC & former Dei-O) that were obliterated in the Last war. A planet that was part of the RCC sphere prior to the war is still understood to be an RCC planet unless we have ceded it to Thermolia (which we have done with a few of them) or made otherwise explicit arrangements such as we did in Woostoid Woqua. We have abandoned all claims to the Woostoid system.

Wendigo:

We propose that the disposition of the Council members towards the Wendigo be taken up after their government returns from vacation.

Pace of the Universe:

OOC: There seems to be some people who want the game set to ALPU at least for the long weekend. Is there a quorum on this?

Flesh eater claims:

On the surface, it sounds as if the Flesh Eaters have a strong claim to colonies in the former electrum sphere of influence. We are inclined to support their legal claims, and hence we re-state our preference for orderly claiming of these planets, rather than a first come first served race to them.

Wendigo claims:

We remain disturbed by these, especially given recent events regarding Wendigo agents in the RCC sphere, and in light of Wendigo contributions to the recent war effort against Electrum. We are still deliberating.

oops RCC,

You mistakenly colonized a planet at Woostroid Woostra, after you promised not too.

My poor colonizer is now low on fuel and has no where else near to go except Birch VIII.

How about a strait across swap?

Yeah, I think I mentioned this a few Posts down, but when I missed a turn a colonizer of mine went and colonized in Woostoid. I have since ceded that colony to Thermolia already....Last time I checked, though, weren't there plenty of empty planets there? Also, you should be able to refuel at a number of the colonies there, since you are partnered with at least one of those powers, no?

Whoa, we just re-read your message, and noticed this little bit that slipped by us:

Ummm...Birch is considered off-limits to all others by our councils, but we will consider ceding you another planet in a different location. However, we do fully beleive that since there are many other planets in Woostoid Woqua that those should be the site of your colonizer vessels' landing. We're a reasonable people, we're pretty certain that something can be worked out so long as no one acts in haste...

thanks,

RCC
