heads-up needed here, USEC.

What for? How can I help?

[evilcherry]

While most communities can stand negligence for a few months to a few years. Venusians don't. The Air is toxic and corrosive, and if the government officials don't provide the necessary services to the colony, people will just revolt - better say gain access to the life-maintaining facilities.

Rename state to Independent Venusian State

Build and complete lab in V1
Gain V3

Build SP-arrows if I got extra prod.

[GreatWyrmGold]

((Right, you're conquering them for their own benefit. Because they can't maintain their own life-support facilities.))

[zacen299]

((Right, you're conquering them for their own benefit. Because they can't maintain their own life-support facilities.))

((Oh shush Wyrm just because he's clearly a megalomanic dictator doesn't mean we need to kill him. Oh wait that's exactly what that means never mind continue.))

[GreatWyrmGold]

((Just saying. Make your justifications airtight or not at all.))

[Taricus]

Hey man, you're playing a bunch of rebels that allied with their oppressor. I think belief can be suspended here

[GreatWyrmGold]

Our oppressor is dead. From the point of view of NERIELS, you guys are a couple more rebel groups.

[Taricus]

Well, either way, you are allied to the remnant(s) of the former government, just saying.

Besides, kinda a little aggressive that you're calling someone that's just getting on their feet the oppressive dictator, whereas ignoring the largest power that just so happens to be producing substantial military assets. Way to ignore the elephant

[GreatWyrmGold]

Where did I call him an oppressive dictator?

((Right, you're conquering them for their own benefit. Because they can't maintain their own life-support facilities.))

((Just saying. Make your justifications airtight or not at all.))

Our oppressor is dead. From the point of view of NERIELS, you guys are a couple more rebel groups.

The only oppressor I mentioned is the old government.

[Taricus]

Implicitly through your statements.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I'm just saying that they have a terrible PR department.

[Taricus]

They have a PR department atleast . Anyway, give us a turn already USEC! I'm starting to suffer withdrawal symptoms again ;-;

[Azthor]

Well, either way, you are allied to the remnant(s) of the former government, just saying.

Besides, kinda a little aggressive that you're calling someone that's just getting on their feet the oppressive dictator, whereas ignoring the largest power that just so happens to be producing substantial military assets. Way to ignore the elephant

Surely, you mean yourself? The largest power is clearly either Blackwolf or Katauvan, as it stands.

Now, if only we could get our hands on more of said weapons in the first place.

Venus Rising
The Independent Venusian State has absorbed the ISWG in their bid to become a major power in the solar stage... While traditionally the harsh environment on Venus has greatly limited the economic and political power of its inhabitants, the discovery of rich mineral deposits and advances in metallurgy and ceramics have greatly increased the strength of the Venusian state...

Dominate unites Pathfinder colony cluster!
Earlier this week, the Katauvan dominate, one of the successor states to the fallen SysGov, had firmly entrenched itself as one of the most powerful post-collapse nations with the re-unification of the Pathfinder cluster, the largest collection of former colonial assets pre-collapse. With the vast industrial assets on the now-renamed colony of Avaylan, and the Neviim institute of science and technology, the cluster itself can claim to rival both Mars and Earth.

When question about further plans, a representative of the dominate declined to comment.

Description: General Tottington. Respected by all. Hailed by many to be one of the greatest Gentlemen in history. He is exceptionally jovial, calm, polite and competent, but above all, he is completely and utterly insane. One cannot, however, underestimate his sense of honour. Tottington will never stoop to such low levels as Firing upon a helpless or retreating Foe, nor will he ever engage in such underhanded tactics as deceit and trickery, never mind betrayal. He commands the HMS Gloria, the refurbished original settler ship and prize of the Group, with exquisite poise and accuracy, treating battle as a one would a formal dance. He values his ship greatly for its history, and will go to extreme measures to save those in need. He greatly enjoys camomile tea and potentially dangerous tinkering, which he takes to with refined, joyful interest. His favourite possessions are his stovepipe hat and matching goggles, and his limited edition copy of the Gentleman's Code.

Technically we're still waiting for cheesemuffin, but he hasn't been on since the 20^th, so... When he comes back online he can submit his actions for Turn 3 retroactively or something.

Also, adwarf, since I goofed up with the ghost Millepatte, you can redo your wasted Gain Control action and still have it count as part of this turn.
