I'm glad I'm not a neighbour of the Nyxian chaos.
Can be somewhat confusing to talk with someone who don't know what they are ralking about.

One might say that being a neighbor of the Nyxian Chaos is a chaotic experience...

On a sad note I will be out of town from Sunday June 7th through Thursday June 12th. So the AI will be playing those turns for me. On the plus side maybe my neighbors will be less confused by a computer!

2403.3

The Alteri had many new things to think of, especially First Speaker. Two new races the Free Democratic Socialist Republic of Bhrzvfbk, and the Argon Confederation had only recently been encountered. The borders available for future exploration and colonization where rapidly shrinking. First Speaker found this deeply troubling. On the other hand two of the three races had stated an interest in an exchange of knowledge that would allow for the colonization of new types of worlds.
The Rorg had briefly spoken on this topic when first encountered but nothing much had come of it. Recently the Free Democratic Socialist Republic of Bhrzvfbk had made contact more aggressively for such a trade. Now the Argon Confederation was present and though it had not made an offer based on the actions of the other two races now known First Speaker felt confident in extending them an offer of trade in such knowledge. First Speaker was smiling inwardly at how a three way bidding war between races that were all offering the same basic package might benefit the Alteri. Still it was too soon to be declaring victory just yet. The two new races where very much unknown quantities and while no official communications with the Argon Confederation had taken place, both the Rorg and the Free Democratic Socialist Republic of Bhrzvfbk had what could only be termed warlike and hostile overtones to past Messages. First Speaker felt certain that the need to expand and create a military War branch was now very necessary. Further delay would not be tolerable.

First Speaker communicated his wishes with those under him directly from their they rapidly spread to other areas. Thanks to the other Firsts giving First Speaker Zyx authority to do whatever was necessary with the aliens his commands and decisions were unquestioned. For the first time ever multiple Firsts were raised all at once, and by the command of only a single First.

First Warrior, First Captain, and many other Firsts all quite in agreement as to future courses of action for the Alteri and all from First Speakers newly come to power. Enough to ensure that the other Firsts could do nothing about it or take any other necessary actions without First Speakers agreement once they became aware of them.

The Alteri Unity had effectively seen it's first governmental overthrow. It was likely the closest thing the Alteri would ever come to a revolution or Civil War.

Perhaps it would be beneficial to remind all players in NGC3 that tech trading is not allowed (although trading of ships is allowed!) If you want the technology, trade for a ship with the tech and evaluate it...Greybeard (for the Argon Confederation)

It's not needed to be reminded, tech traidn is impossible, it is disabled (Should be anyway, I checked that box, so ship trading is the only way)

Cyrien · #6 June 7th, 2003, 11:31 PM

Yep. Any time I am referring to technology trading I am reffering to a trade of ships with the relevant technology. Breakit down and analyze it and you have a tech trade, or something like it, as long as it is a ship placeable tech anyways.

2403.6, The Swedish Nation - The Edge of the Abyss.

The head of the armed forces walked with a distinct sound from his boot heels as he entered Ruatha's office.
"-Greetings.
I come to inform you that we need more and better warships if we are to defend our nation!

"-Oh.
But we already have the Coastguard Alpha class ships, Defender of the kingdom and the Defender of the Queen.
They are quite possibly the most powerful warships in the entire galaxy!
Surely that must be enough?

"-By no means!
Those ships are merely armed transport ships, they are most of the time being used by the civilian authorities.
I can't understand how you can say that they are the most powerful ships in the galaxy, they are quite weak!!

"-But we have seen no other war ships, not one amongst the alien species around us.
So therefore our Coastguard Alpa ships can quite POSSIBLY be amongst the most powerful ships in the galaxy!

"-You don't understand!
We stand with our feets at the edge of the abyss, we need to take a big step forward to ensure our safety. And that step forward is called the Wasa Dominator!

"-I can't really see the meaning of it. The Coastguard ships should be enough.
But if you feel so strongly about it the Wasa Dominators will be added to the construction list for prioritazion.
If we build these ships though you will have to keep them in the core systems, they can't be used to patrol the borders.
The Wasa Dominators are to powerful ships. Such a show of power might provoke a pre-emptive attack from our neighbours. And I will not take our nation into war if I can avoid it!
Is that understood?

"-As long as I get some decent capital warships I'll keep them wherever you want, as long as they aren't needed elsewhere!

With this he saluted and left the office in a fast walk.
Ruatha watched him go and shaked his head thinking that there goeas a man that has seen to many war movies.
