Perhaps we should get more information before assaulting or fleeing anybody?

• How well armed is Merci?
• Compared to Machu?
• Their disposition towards us at the moment?
• Whether or not they know anything about what's going on?
• Total fight capability of both fortresses?

So, my action is now:

Kick one of the short-circuiting drones.

"Couldn't of gotten here a little sooner, could ya? Had to take your time and let one of my mates be killed in cold blood. If you were here to come and stop the good sargent anyways, seems that way from the fact you didn't shoot us all. I hope whoever is controlling you is faster next time."

"Speaking of the Sargent, or is he the Governor now that he's assumed control, I think we should get more information about the mission from him, then decide on what to do."

"I'll go and ask him the essential questions. Then we'll decide whether to assist, turn or flee."

This discussion has harpooned our credibility in all aspects. Remember, whoever controls the drones and whoever is Mason can read our posts here as easily as we can. Even if we do join MP, there's no chance at all he will trust us because of this. If we join the Abu Merci, they too will never trust us as we've shown through our discussions that we will backstab anyone for our own gain, but that's assuming the GM will just make their leader a player too or their leader is already a person.

Spying on our posts isn't really cheating, by the way. If I recall correctly, Jack's been perforated with darts that are probably recording devices and MP can just bug our habitat with very little expenditure.

There's really two ways to fix this, as far as I can see. One, we can piss off the GM and simply PM each other rather than actually posting our ideas. I actually got this idea the moment after I read that there would be a morale statistic that could be affected by our arguing. This way, only we know what we want, not everyone with an internet connection.

The second way is to simply stop arguing and rally behind our (kind of) democratically elected leader, PyroDesu. Let him tell us what to do, let him direct our actions, let him conduct our foreign affairs. With a united front, we can properly deal with foreigners without having to convince them not to listen to the outliers. I'm not saying let him micro-manage everyone, merely announce the goals for Hope and assign our allegiances.

There is a third, but I do not think that being a massed conglomeration of varying views will endear us to anybody, and even if we try to leave everybody, Abu Merci would crush us. Does anybody really think we're going to be able to climb mountains with tank treads? Even if we do, is it reasonable to just assume that a flying fortress won't just float over them?

In the end, we should stop all this talk about betraying people. No government posts all its actions online for all to see. Then, we should seriously rethink how we communicate for the sake of our survival.

Remember, we are no longer playing "against the computer" so to speak. We are playing against humans that have none of the disadvantages that we do and all the intelligence we do.

Damn. So basically, we're forced to play straigth. No fun, I wanted my role to be "Diplomat/Scheming Strategist". 

Well, then we should stay with MP. By the way, that flying fortress of them is basically a huge blimp, right? Now, we've got a big fucking harpoon. Now, I think you know what I'm thinking about. Plus, we'll get tons of stuff from the wreckage  .

(P.S. Yes I know, the inside is probably compartimented. But once a big hole is blown in the outside cover, we can just send a commando inside to hack and slash at the various inside covers. We may need respiratory mask, if someone can make somes)

[adwarf]

Does no one remember what happened last time I messed with a drone. I GOT SHOT !!!!!!!!

[Sheb]

So what? Those are down. By the way, do we know why they're down?

[adwarf]

The one I messed with had a fricking hole in the thing, and it still shot me.

[Ehndras]

The sky fortress is more than a blimp, and its pretty armored. Its more of a massive cargo plane on steroids.

Also, the bots are old and short-circuit a lot. Botman has many more, though.

[Zako]

Hmmm, good point Adwarf.

Dismantle drones, CAREFULLY. Make sure that they are completely shut off if possible.

[adwarf]

Also as to reasoning with Abu Merci, It isn't happening the old Governor was part of the head honchos up there, and they didn't want us telling them about the spawners. Now that we have they will won't us dead, no ifs, ands , or buts about it.

[Drago55577]

no, traveling people told them! make an excuse, or run away

[Ehndras]

Areyoua, delete your message. That won't be a problem. Remember, I'm the Abu Merci spy. No need to cause trouble in the crew with assumptions.

I have no idea why I would retract my statement. I don't even believe why in the world your being framed for being the Abu Merci spy would matter in it. No matter what, Mason will become a player character and when he does, then we're in jeopardy because of all the discussion of betrayal. The only possible ways to continue are listed there. We either stop talking about sedition or talk about it where it can't be seen by everyone, or we forever be a pariah.

I think the crew needs to know what they're doing. They cannot continue plastering our plans where everyone can see.

[Sheb]

Ehndras, there is no way it can be a cargo plane on steroid. Would consume too much fuel, it couldn't be seld-sustaining. It has to be a huge, armored blimp.

And it cannot be too armored either, or it wouldn't fly. So I say that if you don't want to betray the PM, you use the harpoon to make a hole in the armor and then send a commando inside to wreck it.

[adwarf]

Sheb in the old Pixel pack it shows a preview of it, and its basically an airship from FF III (Or was it IV Not sure)

[Sheb]

Where can I see it?
