Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong's Head Cantina - After Hours

Something has arisen after viewing the "Communication ethics in PBW" thread.

I would like to raise a possible 'house rule' in the Galactic Bash game.

Looking at that thread, I was a bit surpriused to see that people comminucate outside the fora of the game to make alliances, discuss double crosses etc.. my view is that this is something which should be carried out, in character and in the game..

If I want an alliance with Dogscoff against Mac, I should do that through the diplomacy window in character etc

I appreciate this is practically unenforceable but as we are all men of integrity and honour, is this something we can commit to?

Opinions please.

WHAT??? A serious discussion in the Cantina? I think fatherhood is changing you, tigga old boy...

Having said that, I think most people on this forum are willing to abide by "gentlemen's agreements", even if none of us ARE gentlemen...

[Gryphin]

While I will abide by the concesus,
The complexities of deals exceed the capacity of the Diplomatic screen. There certainly could be the Gist of agreements transmitted that way, but overall, I think it would be very limmiting.
I think there is a limit to how many characters you can put into a diplomatic screen.

[Growltigga]

I agree that the diplomatic screen will take oodles of time to get complex points across but hell, that just means it takes hyou several months to iron out a complex deal which at interstellar disctances, seems fair and reasonable to me

[Mephisto]

Congratulations, GT! And thanks that you have proven that not everything a lawyer does is theoretical...

[mac5732]

In regards to diplomacy, I agree that it should be carried out during the game and only after contact with each specific race. Maybe we could ask Richard, Geo, Aarron on the possibility of increaseing the space limitations in the diplomacy screen at least during PBW games, I don';t know if thats possible.

If I want to ask Dogscoff for an alliance against Mac!!! Why is it the young ones always want to pick on us older, slower, non violent types.... sigh, (be careful, be very very careful, look to the sky, its "THEM" )

Gryphin, I think its time you revive your Bash story thread.....

Mephisto, its good to see your still hanging in there,

just some ideas mac

Thanks for researching that, capn

Part of it was "state pride"; I've lived in PA all my life, and the Turnpike is the fastest route between my home and my parents', when I visit for holidays. The part about the construction cost being long paid off is true. I didn't dig far enough to find whether the surplus stays in the PennDoT budget, or goes to the state's General Fund.

I'll add my congrats to Growltigga while I'm here, but I'll pass on the cigar.

After many hours travelling a large dreadnought parks into the lot outside the fabled bar, promptly hitting a galactic parking meter leaving a huge dent on the outside. Cursing quietly to himself a young man enters into the Ye New Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong's Head Cantina. Narrowly ducking incoming bottles.

After hearing about this place on the BspaceB tv satellites, was there an end to corporate expansion??, he had decided to visit. The sight of many regulars rejoicing in drunk celebration of Growltigga's announcement wasn't the sight he had expected.

Though as more bottles and objects flew across the cantina he felt the familliar tripping over a chair, landing face first on a table, knocking over a bottle and yet again cursing to himself, though the lake of alchohol that trickled into his mouth and scantily clad FBW maybe it wasn't so bad...

Raging Deadstar

Welcome to the Cantina.

I am drunk again as friends have turnedup from all over the place to celebrate. In fact my half brother has just flown in from Stockholm (how is that for family ties) and we are all celebrating by drinking the 3 bottles of akavit (sic?) he brought over...

You say you are from a black hole just off the English countryside, that means you are from Hull, Leicester or Birmingham

Which one?

PS thanks to everybody for their kind words.. it is a shock, it is scary, and at the end of the day, I am a little upset cos I wanted to spend another couple of years practicing

[mac5732]

I must address my earlier post on email msgs, after discussions with a number of members of the forum and cantina, I must agree that email should be allowed once each race has met in the game. The time frames allowed seem to inhibit some of the msgs. However, I do still agree that the races must meet lst in order to converse. Beat me....

Mac quickly orders another brewski (since the Tigga is buying and besides he appears to already be a little unsteady so probably wouldn;t realize it anyhow), drinks it down, staggers out to the patio to contemplate and most graciously passes out.

zzzzzzzzzz'n mac

[Taz-in-Space]

...Walking in via the patio,on his way to work, Taz passes by a comatose older man in a funny hat. Not one to pry (yea,right) he motions for one of the FBW's to throw a blanket on that old(er) man. Can't have the regulars catching colds and passing away. (note:deadly mayhem - yes accidental colds - NO)

As Taz relieves the other (unknown) bartender, he notices a notice saying that GT's tab is being used all this month. And wonders of wonders - GT himself suggested it!! Parenthood does produce miracules!

Well patrons, belly up the the bar and order away before GT comes to his senses!...

Oh and will somebody help that new guy, Raging Deadstar, off the floor? We need to mop up that spilled booze!
