BEEP BOOP DOES NOT COMPUTE [¤_¤]

Spoiler: Fealty Contract (click to show/hide)

Pledge of Loyalty and Fealty to the Emperor, Lord Insanus Cancer, ruler of Earth, the Sol System, and all of Mankind

We the undersigned hereby pledge loyalty and fealty to the Emperor, Lord Insanus Cancer, ruler of Earth, the Sol System, and all of Mankind. 

We acknowledge that stewardship of the planets under our House is given only through the benevolent generosity of the Emperor, and that the Emperor holds eminent domain over all.  We pledge to serve the Emperor for all time, through life and death, sickness and health, and to never betray him, nor raise a banner in opposition, nor lift a finger against him.

The Emperor is the wisest and most powerful human in all of the universe.  It is a joy to wake every day knowing the Emperor guides us with wisdom and courage, and that he is much smarter and far more handsome than anyone else.  We pledge to follow his every order, for his grand plan is ineffable and to counter his designs is treason against the entire human race.  We pledge allegiance to the Emperor and will spend every waking moment thinking about how great he is.

We promise to never ever break this contract, ever.

Signed,
Lord Tyrannous, of House Sinister.

Alright, well, that's enough I think, we obviously won't attack into that this turn.

Since contracts are removed via mutal consent of all signed players (is my understanding) I'll ask Fivebalesofhay if we can dissolve the Triplicate Alliance attack contract.

[FiveBalesOfHay]

House Harrak consents to the dissolution of the contract.

[Nirur Torir]

House of Sands dissolves the Triplicate Alliance attack contract.

Turn 6: Bunch of Filthy Animals
I am the Emperor.  My word is law.

TURNTURNTURN

The Emperor's Mood: Irritated


The Emperor Insanus Cancer squints at the creature on the other side of the glass.  "And this is a...?"

"A sea-turtle, my Emperor," the aide replied patiently, reading off the placard beneath the exhibit.  "A rare Earth species known for its delicate flavor and ability to filter plastics from the ocean.  It went extinct during the Global Cooling crisis when the beaches became too cold to support the various species its young would devour shortly after being hatched."

"Extinct?"

"Yes, my Emperor.  This one is an animatronic."

"Ah.  And this creature over here...?"

"It's what was known as a 'cow', my Emperor.  It was known for its ability to turn plants into various gasses, but was hunted to extinction due to its propensity for causing Global Warming.  Of course, without the numerous hordes roaming the land, the planet soon after went into Global Cooling, resulting in the sea-turtles extinction."

"And this is also...?"

"An animatronic, my Emperor, yes."

"And this one?"

"This was a rare primate known as a close cousin to humans, my Emperor.  Known for its ability to craft tools and hoard foods for winter months, it went extinct somewhere between the Global Warming and Global Cooling crisises."

"And - "

"Yes, my Emperor, this 'Portugeese' is an animatronic as well."

"Do we not have any living creatures in this zoo?"  The Emperor snapped, disgusted.  "Inform the Houses that I will be accepting donations for my new Imperial Zoo.  And tell them to make it interesting!"


First Mechanator of the Forge wins the bid!  The Emperor graciously grants the 5R world to Criptfiend.  Insanus Cancer accepts the Slag, then trades it to a minor House in exchange for their Fleet.

New Event!  The Emperor is accepting animals for his zoo.  They can be either native xeno species or specially adapted Earth creatures for your particular world.  Write a short paragraph or two about your species, which world it comes from, and how it behaves in its natural habitat.  The most 'interesting' species sent earns that House a Favour.

New Planet Available!
17[0]F: Size 17 Farmworld.
Available for auction.  Starting bid is ^10.
A rich, green and blue marble orbiting slowly around a bright white star, this world is a richly vegetated planet.  Higher gravity than normal means trees are not quite as common, but the native flora here grows in lattice-like patterns which allows for both sturdy upward growth and permits sunlight to reach lower levels of the vegetation.  Rich oxygen production means that humans can breathe unassisted, though the over-abundance and high concentration can prove toxic for those unadapted to this world.  Fauna generally consists of insects, beetles, and hive-creatures.  These are generally smaller in size, but truly gargantuan mammalian leviathans patrol the oceans.  It is generally advisable to stay on land on this planet.

House Durin is granted 8th Fleet "Reckless Effect" in exchange for their Favour.
