The year is 2100, Bay12 has finally landed on Alpha Centauri. Soon after planetfall, the crew members gather 'round as the leader asks, "What do?"

Hehe, hey Bay12. Anyone up for some Alpha Centauri tonight? I've yet to play a game past a few turns, but I just recently obtained a copy after some recommendations of how good it is. I'll handle some little things like where to move units and killing off some spare turns where nothing is going on, but for the most part I'd like to let *us* as a space team decide how to handle other factions, when to go to war, what to focus on, what to name us, etc...

Im also going to note that I'm not going to be too text-based here, I'll try and use pictures to explain things better. Not to say everything will come with 4-word phrases, but please don't expect short essays on our current standings every turn lol. Oh, another note, Im going to appologise now for the awkward aspect ratio of the images. I'm not sure if it's the game or if it's what I'm using to host right now, but I'll go check my config and see if I can fix it real fast.

So, cut to the chase, lets begin. Here're the rules we'll be playing with:


First off, which faction should we play? I say we go for the space hippies, as shown in the picture, but we'll wait a bit and see if anyone takes interest and agrees/disagrees.

Gaians, of course, to capture a mindworm army.

Alright, another for Gaia; here's my suggestion for our name; any objections?

[Weirdsound]

This should be on the play with your buddies board.

Sucks you don't have the Alien Crossfire expansion pack. I always play as the pirates myself.

Name is fine.

Should it be? My bad, lemme see if I can move it then. I don't have the expansion yet because I heard a few negative things about the imbalance of the new factions. Wanted to get a feel for the original first. Anyways, planetfall! Colony name?

Edit: Heh, there seems to already be a SMAC game going on the first page. Whatevs though, I'm a newb and will prolly get destroyed real quick.

[mastahcheese]

Well, that's a multiplayer game, not a suggestion game, so it's ok.

But yeah, it should be moved, just hit the button at the bottom right of the page.
Nevermind, you did that already.

Yeah, it's taken care of. Still up for a name~

(Oh man, I suck at names...)

"Burning Man"

For the hippies.

[Rankor]

Burning Man has been founded!

Currently we only have one scout patrol created, and have a terraformer on deck. In other relevancy we see two pizzas waiting to be claimed.

From the north we have...

...An alien artifact that's probably going to kill us all!

[mastahcheese]

Well, best get that second one!

[Rankor]

Bringing everything (including the trap-pod-of-!!FUN!!) back to base, our first Former has been created! Now, lets take a quick look at that Burning Man has to offer...

Not too bad for starting out, 4 nutrition, 2 minerals and 3 energy. As for what to build next, what do? Should we go for fast exploration with a racer-car-of-exploring or slower, more protected exploration with a bear-nekked-stormtrooper? Turns out we cant yet build a racer-car-of-exploring, so a bear-nekked-stormtrooper it is! I wouldn't suggest a new colony just yet because of the population loss we'd encounter...

In other news, on to the second pizza!

[Rankor]

Harharhar this pizza was infested with ramen noodles! Ew the shrimp flavor too >.<; Time to put our trainer skills to the test and see if we can capture it...

First we managed to kill it, spraying purple drank errywhere, but also our stormhippie smoked a dooby and got promoted to Green status! Unfortunately we don't have enough badges to train those noodles...



Our scientists seem to value social psychology over other !!FUN!! things, but what can you do, convert to fascism and force scientific practices? In more relevant news, our town seems to be really trying to build that colony pod instead of training another stormsmoker, despite my efforts in changing it.

Oh and society decided to tell us that Morgan Freeman discovered this a few years back.

[mastahcheese]

Well, maybe next time.
Explore!

[Xantalos]

Do what mastahcheese says
PTW

[Rankor]

Well, it looks like we found carmon santiago! How should we approach her? With a stick?
I think her head might be as dense as her people's shields, seeing as she believes her rovers (that we don't have >.>) are invincible...

What do you know. Without even giving me a chance to ask her, 'why can't we be friends~~?' she goes threatening us with the invincible rovers, demanding our super-advanced skills in Social Psychology. Should we do it?
