((On a completely irrevalant note, what faction color is yellow))

[Twiggie]

((Believers I think, they got swapped with me :<))

[Karlito]

((You can check the comlink for colors- yellow is the Lord's Believers))

[PTTG??]

How's it going?

No pressure or anything, but at this rate, a 300 turn game will take 2.2 years.

[GlyphGryph]

Turn was just passed to me, I'll handle it when I get home from work.

[Twiggie]

we're generally going at one turn every two days, as long as people dont get emails stuck/lost

would be nice to keep that going and get 1turn/day over the weekend

EDIT: was hoping for a turn when i woke up, no such luck :<

[GlyphGryph]

Sorry for the delay. I was considering delaying it even more, honestly.

You see - I've made contact.


More later.

[GlyphGryph]

"People of Unity Capital, I know this has been a challenging, but exciting year for you! Sightings of strange alien masses on the horizon, a native species we have never seen before, have worried many of you, and we understand! The Lord will put many trials before us, but I urge you - we do not yet understand the meaning of this strange mass we found dwelling in the Unity, and we have no evidence it is hostile. If it is, we shall overcome it just as we have overcome the other challenges of planet. If it is not, perhaps we will learn a little bit more about this place we call home.

I make this speech here today not to talk of possible challenges, though, but to bring amazing news! A Rover team today discovered that the rumours are true! There ARE other survivors of our ship, out and wandering the surface of Planet! We do not yet know if this Patrol is a small group of survivors having survived until now by scavenging Planets wilderness, or if they are organized by a larger group of survivors as ours are. If it is the first, we will extend the offer to join us, as we did the teams we found in stasis in the capsules we've uncovered. If it is the second, we will open up dialogue immediately, and discover the extent to which our brethren have succeeded here. I know many of you will be eager to try and contact family you've been separated from, and I promise I will do what I can to quell your worries. Thank you, and we will pass along the news as we learn more." With that, the broadcast flickered our, and Kiera turned, as another camera flickered.

"Have you made contact with them, yet, Commander?" She asked.
A face, tired and chapped from roving the wilds for years, appeared on the screen. "Yes, ma'am. We've taken position in a flanking position and sent someone in. They claim to be from a group calling themselves the University. I'll patch you through now, Sister, if you wish."
She nodded. "Do it."

((10ebbor10, we need to talk. ))

[Twiggie]

((ah, diametrically opposed factions next to each other, fun!))

[GlyphGryph]

((Considering my response to detecting his scout was to send 4 scouts and 2 rovers (every unit not currently tangled up with Mind Worms) on the chance I'd need him, I would hope that he decides NOT to be "diametrically" opposed, heheh.))

But seriously, I was under the impression the Spartan's were most opposed to the University.

The Believers seem most opposed to the Hive. While hostility with the other factions, esp. the University and Morganites, is possible, it really depends on point of view - a more cynical and self-centered Miriam could easily befriend the Morganites, using religion as a tool for advancement, and one who sees the University's work as the study of the glory of creation could easily befriend them for that and practical reasons (they shore up each others weaknesses rather well in either case).

The Hive, though? There is simply no potential for cooperation there.

[Twiggie]

((well the university gets a bonus to research and (i believe) a malus to probe, whilst believers get it the other way around. also, believers start with social psych which means they are a bit more drone-friendly, whilst zak gets extra drones. a lot of it does depend on your playstyle, though. its nice that all the factions are defined well enough to be different while still having that wiggle room))

((EDIT: yeah! played my turn within 5 minutes of receiving it! :p))

[10ebbor10]

((Yeah, sorry. Comp kinda crashed, meaning I doubt I can get it to work till tomorrow.

Oh, and yeah, not going to be diametrically opposed. On another note, for some reasons there are turns in which I can do essentially nothing for some reason. No movements, no research breakthrough. It just says I've finished my turn as soon as I load it.))

[GlyphGryph]

Do you have "auto-turn-end" turned on? If so... you might want to disable that, and enable "pause at end of turn".

But seriously, we need to talk. Could you hop onto the lower boards IRC in about three or four hours?

That's 2:00 (Night)  for me. So, um, I'm afraid not.

((On a side note, theology certainly is science, good science.))

[Edit: I can't remember that bloody 12 hour system]

[GlyphGryph]

Well... that sucks. To PMs!
