Space Empires 101 - Galactic Council

[AMF]

We're not forgetting it at all. WE certainly feel that your empire deserves the lion's share of the spoils, no doubt. We just want to make it all a bit more orderly...

Gentleman, the race is on to colonize planets.
May we embrace true diversity and share more systems together.

RCC has recieved a large portion of intact Die-O territory. I propose that they refrain from colonizing.

I will restrict my colonization to former Die-O and Electrum systems, including neighboring asteroid systems.

[AMF]

I can agree to refraining from colonizing, that sounds fair. I also ceded two systems to Thermolia this month, to help them rebuild. I don;t think there are actually any empty planets in the core Dei-O systems, but there are a heck of a lot of empty planets in the Woostoid Woqua system. We'll call back my colonizer from going there, we have no problem with that. But this still leaves open the question of how to allocate the WW system planets to others such as Thermolia, Citizen, Rorg, and all the others....

Who would be the security council members under this proposal?

And shouldn't votes be given proportionally to population, at least in the "lower house" and according to afixed number in the security council (or is there an "upper house" in this scheme?)

RCC

I would say that the three surviving superpowers should be the permanent members. Cyber Collective, Royal Corporate Commonwealth, and Citizen Federation would be the three as of right now.

As to votes, each race should be given an equal voice in day to day business. But on maters of security, the superpowers have the biggest stick and therefore the loudest voice.

[AMF]

That's certainly acceptable to us.

Now...is the disposition of the Woostoid Woqua system to be addressed in an orderly fashion, or is it still a "race to colonize"?

Our empire is in shambles and it will take years to rebuild to the glory we once had. But with the help of our alliance members it can be done. Getting some order to our systems is first task at hand, having all of our colonies spread out like butter on bread is hurting our people. But we shall complete a ship in the months to come that will enable us to restructure our space and get things in order.

We would suggest the creation of a Council force composed of Warp-opener ships that can assist your empire in this process. We've got at least one we could committ to such an endeavour.
