All players can now access the Cheat Vendor! At the moment you all have exactly 0 (ZERO) Cheatoins except for IcyTea, who discovered the thing in a most unlikely set of circumstances. Attempting to Coup the Cheat Vendor results in me prescribing you the most agonizing, painful, disturbing death I can come up with while still being legal forum-wise and reality-wise. In-Game, of course.
Cheatoins can ONLY be gained by taking over another players territory, stumbling across one of my hidden stashes which have a 1 in a 1000 chance of appearing, or discovering other secret features which can only be discovered in just as unlikely circumstances. They do carry through Death, Universal Reboot, etc. and normally cannot be stolen without a hefty modifier beyond anything I've ever seen.
Entering the Vendor counts as a minor action, but buying something will take up a whole turn- which can be worth the trouble for something like a Seal of Even More Infinite RTD (5 Cheatoins) on another player or a Pardon Coupon (1 Cheatoin), the effects of which can cause a lot of trouble amongst your opponents or save you from annihilation and defeat.
Send scouts to planet 12 and 13. Build a shipyard and base on colonised planet.
[5] You already have a shipyard and base on the colonized planet?! Must of been busy attempting to do the same with other planets. Well. Maybe there
is someone competent other than you.
Extremly Fertile, is mostly untouched other than some abandoned structures from a highly advanced (presumably alien) race which dates before the expansion of the Sun to a Blue Giant, we have not investigated them beyond a cursory look to ensure they were abandoned. Bodies of Water consist of Small Lakes scattered throughout the planet.
Geological samples have shown most of the mineral resources are in a single layer, suggesting some sort of event occurred to create this layer over a period of over 2000-2500 years. Further investigation has revealed that this is the same for all planets we've explored.
Life consists of massive Saurian Herbivores but relatively few predators, the only one which stands as a threat are the packs of Raptor-like things with Wolf-like heads which display near-human intelligence. They tend to carry their young on their backs, so they may make good mounts if domesticated.
The planet itself is composed of several gases, the most valuable of which is Talonigen, required to operate shield and forcefield generators- the scouts made sure to gather about a ton and a half, enough to keep the generators running for about a decade on top of the stores already gathered as long as you aren't at war with anyone. Which is unlikely at the moment, You havn't managed to run into anyone yet. It is also rich in Hydrogen, making it excellent as a source for Hydrogen Fuel or for creating Water in an emergency.
The Artificial Satellite appears to be a Autonomous Mining Facility which mines Talonigen- probably for that planet with the Forcefields. Scans reveal that it is heavily defended by autonomous forces- looks like you're not the only one. As you scan it, it scans you. Upon completing it's own scans, it launches what your scans conclude is Data Storage Device, which your scouts have also brought home.
((You're lucky- if you hadn't gotten a 5, they would thought you were launching a attack and you'd have been in a bind.))
0- Blue Sun (Center of System)
1- Puny Purple Planet, has Solid Ground and a Gaseous Atmosphere. Not that notable.
2- This planet is quite anomalous- it should be unable to sustain any form of life due to its proximity to the sun.
Instead, there seem to be Satellites in orbit which project some form of field to lower temperature, radiation, and
light levels to that of a yellow sun from the Earth Pre-Destruction. Most likely signs of a highly advanced civilization,
but making contact will be difficult due to the interference caused by the field.
3- Molten Ball that planet 2 would otherwise be, with a mysterious Anomaly in an Ellipses Orbit. Third Largest in system.
4- Mars-Like planet with Rings. It is massive, being the second largest in the system.
5- Another Mars-Like Planet, but MUCH smaller.
*Asteroid Belt A- Rich in many resources, even has pockets of gas in some of them.
Said pockets of gas can make collisions...volatile at times.*
6- Small Desert Planet. ((Think Tatooine with a single sun)
7- Small Oceanic Planet with no landmass above sea-level, although huge portions are knee-deep during the summer.
8- Small Forest Planet, has no Oceanic bodies of water.
9- Small, Lifeless, Barren Rock not even worth putting on the Official Charts.
10- Atmosphere-less Ball of Precious Resources. Youngest Planet in the System.
11- The planet you've Colonized. There are only two continents, one at each pole, which are covered with lush, thick jungles.
Has violent, deadly life which loves the taste of human and alien flesh, making colonization slow.
12- The Hobbiton of the System- Endless Plains with green hills.
13- A Gas Planet that is the largest in the system. Has a Artificial Satellite of Unknown Origin, which appears to be still functioning and doing... whatever it does.
14- Jupiters Mini-Me, complete with its own 'Red Spot'.
*Asteroid Belt B- If you thought Asteroid Belt A was rich in resources, then this one is off the charts! It has the drawback of being even more volatile, however. But sensors cannot detect anything beyond the first few hundred kilometres due to interference, and shows signs of having been tapped in for its resources before...*
15- Earth if you replaced Water with Lava Flows. Quite a nasty place, although great in a Military Stance- easily defended outpost at the edge of the system,
has the resources to make defensive stations all along its MASSIVE orbit... you could practically make a border here, complete with massive garrisons of
military-grade border police once your population is up... or you have the necessary amounts of drones.
Gain the power to counter hostile actions aimed at me as minor actions instead of major ones.

[color=lime green][ERROR:ACCESS_LEVEL_TO_LOW:REQUIRES LEVEL 50 ACCESS][/color]
sacrifice 10,000 people to the gods to be cured
[4] YOU ARE CURED! HURRAH! Now, you really should do something about the San Marino's Invasion Fleet heading your way. And the Civil War you caused by only sacrificing those still suffering from the diseased. Minor details like that.
Hack the attacking Tachikoma to work for me and attack the Sontarans, also, build myself a HAW206 Multiped Tank.
[2+1=3] You don't know how to hack! And they ARE RIGHT BEHIND YOU RUNLIKEARABBITDURINGMATINGSEASON!
