First PBEM - TTT

[Vishniac]

To Morgan and co.

Would the Pirates be interested in ending hostilities if the Drones dropped any claims on conquered alien lands?  Perhaps if the Drones also agreed to a 10 year ban on producing armed naval units?

Welcome to our game!
You should probably discuss these matters by PM; diplomacy prefers secrecy.

And don't take any rash decision without asking the position of your other partners (especially the current Governor  )

[Brecon]

Ah, okay.  Thanks for the welcome!

I think when I saved the previous file I had not pushed end turn.  I did on this attached file so if the previous one asks for a log in as the drones then use this one.

[Kirov]

Foreman Brecon, how wonderful to meet you! Let me assure you that the Pirates' commitment to lasting peace solutions on Chiron is unwavering.




Now let's go talk in private.

[Kirov]

Brecon, I believe you've only just met our bunch, so let me introduce you to everybody.

This is MallaxOZ, the Cyborg. He's an infiltration unit, part man, part machine. Underneath, it's a hyperalloy combat chassis — micro processor-controlled, fully armored. Very tough. But outside, it's living human tissue — flesh, skin, hair, blood, grown for the cyborgs.... He can't be bargained with. He can't be reasoned with. He doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And he absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

This is Vishniac. Have you read his sig? I’m sure you have, but go ahead and do it again. Take your time. Roll it around with your tongue. You see, most people would never ever use WMD against their fellow men. Others would be less squeamish, but at least they’d have the decency not to rub it in your face. Well, Vishniac is neither. And what you gonna do about it? Yeah, that’s what he thought.

Meet Kurvivor, a wonderful chap when sober, believe me. Just don’t make eye contact with him. And remember never to call him “La Garrotte”. He doesn’t like that.
Not.
One.
Bit.

Oh, and while we’re at it, Kurvivor? This lad is new here so give him some slack, will ya? We need him at least until the end of the game. No, this one doesn’t look like he’s gonna squeal. And there is nothing to squeal about, remember? We’ve been through this a million times. Just… just take a grip, buddy, ok?


And finally, your humble. But what it is to say? I’m Sagittarius, although most people think I’m Aquarius (truth be told, I think I should be Aquarius, too!). I love dogs and cats equally, but oh never say that near Rupert! He would be crazy with jealousy.

Ha ha, but look at it, silly me. Dogs can’t talk, amirite? I’m sooo goofy. People say I’m a big dork, but I say you should follow your heart! Dance and sing like nobody’s watching! So hit me up if you wanna hang out or something. I can’t say I’m good at this game (I just joined to make new friends), but I’ll try to make your SMAC experience as interesting as possible.

[Kirov]

Kurvivor, it is now your turn to vote for the Global Pact and take another step in bringing us all closer to Harmony. Peace won't be lasting until we are all identical and ruled as one. Hail Vishniac!

[Kurvivor]

Welcome aboard, Brecon!
By the way, i had that photo of Kirov just lying around, can you believe that?

[Kirov]

Here we go again, yet another 'Obama joke' by Kurvivor. He's stepping down soon enough, for chrissake!

Please accept my apologies, Brecon, we've got a problem with blatant racism here. Vishniac and MallaxOZ try to counter it with their #NoLivesMatter platform and refuse to acknowledge that that was not what I was going for. Oh boy.

[Kurvivor]

Sorry, forgot to attach my turn

[Kirov]

Sorry guys, I need some time with my turn. Mourning Leonard Cohen and the Western civilization.

[Kirov]

I'm back with you guys. As always, giving hope to the weak and nerve gas to the wicked.

[MallaxOZ]

The vote for the governor's proposition, actively supported by the Pirates, is finally over. The mesure passed. #MakeChironGreatAgain

Splendid! The Master will be pleased.

And of course I supported this initiative, as I do with all actions which move us forward to the Unity (as envisioned by Master Vishniac) in which everyone is the same and thus there is no conflict.

Hail Vishniac!

[Kirov]

I sure hope this delay means that a nefarious plot is cooking. But wrap it up, cupcakes!

[Vishniac]

Merely catching up after the 2 months, took time.
Next turns will be played much faster.

[Brecon]

Thank you all for the kind introductions.  To introduce myself for this topic I am Brecon current leader of the Free Drones and adept at finding a silver lining for the faction's situation.  So far I have privately concluded that, although the Free Drones may be in difficulties, long term competition among the factions will lead to social and environmental chaos making the eventual triumph of the drone ideology a historical inevitability even should the faction be defeated.

And Kirov if there was any nefarious plotting I hope you can also take some consolation that the Drones were also not invited to the plotting!
