Space Empires 101 - Galactic Council

[TerranC]

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.

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.

As for your Last statement regarding our outspokenness, marshal, with all due respect, you will hear our voice everywhere, and anywhere, and at anytime and at all times, until we are truly "glad".

Just been aware of the existence of this "council", and I see that Wendigo are quite talkative. I wonder why they haven't replied to my private Messages during the Last months, then.

First, let me tell you that I disagree with Wendigo demand for free access to systems once controled by infamous Electrum integrists.

They have never help us to fight them, and moreover they have always provided resources to our ennemies. So they should be glad to have received Electrum ships and planets, and should keep quiet at the moment.

I'll refer to members of the White Coalition for Peace and Wealth, to see if this place is a good place to discuss the galaxy issues.

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?

We of the Flesh Eaters hive are small, yet we dealt the first and earliest blow in the Electrum war, sacrificing dozens of ships but glassing all planets in one of the Electrum home systems.

True, we accepted a non-agression pact from the Electrum after, but our fleets had already been reduced to a few survivors, and we had no other force in the area.

We have now rebuilt our battlefleets and stand ready to enforce the will of the Alliance. We stand ready to reclaim our worlds in Buber system, but will require several turns to construct adequate troop transports... troops, luckily, we have in plenty.

We shall feast only on the flesh of those that resist... Klingon is rather tough and gamey.

Klingons will not be a problem for too long. I had to regroup my troop transports this month, and next month I'll be ready for some surgical strikes...

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!

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.

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 ?

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.

RCC

[Wardad]

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?
