Hi ThePlagueRat, great to have you on board. Send me your email address or post it here and I 'll authorise you. On arrival, you will be given you free parrot, eyepatch and keg of rum. If you also need a peg leg, that too is available. Oak or Ash?

Do not eat the parrot. Repeat do not eat the parrot
See you there.

Cap'n Hercules pipes ThePlagueRat aboard Pirates Peace faction. All pirate members have been immunised. So ye landlubbers beware.

You may also join now without having SMAC working

Just be sure to choose your faction carefully... Then you´ll see only the Hive can offer you protection and a joyous life...

Please hand your id and your nerve-stapling pass to one of the state security beserkers with order to shoot handsome guys next to the door

You don't actually have to be able to run the game to play in the democracy game, though it helps so you can have first-hand knowledge of the save file while making policy decisions... I don't have SMACX set up on my computer at the moment, but I'm still involved.

You can pretty much join whenever you want, just give some thought to your choice of faction, as defections are a big no-no.

edit- bah, crossposted by the Hive

But don't join the Hive, everyone does, and it's becoming very one-sided. I'm going to poll for the cap I talked about.

A major default at the moment is the absence of a central /general thread. THere are two views:

1 We can't interact until we meet in the game.
2 We can interact as long as we don't talk about the current game.

RE 2: Going by past pbem experience that could be in the late twenties for some factions and maybe later for others.

So do we wait until everyone can have ambassadors with everyone else or what.

To me that is nonsense. As Maniac (it was you wasn't it) suggested, perhaps we should have a communal 'free radio' type thread.

If so, as the Creator/defender of the AI, I'd suggest no tech or ec's switching hands until formally meeting in-game

Otherwise the AI, which will be overwhelmed soon enough by human players, will be even more at a disadvantage (and they were positioned in the game somewhat strategically vis-a-vis contacts and had their preferences/agendas tweaked to maxinize on their likely opportunities)

Googlie: you may need to elaborate on the AI bit. In the forums we wouldn't normally expect the AI to engage in discussions.

'Miriam how are you have a nice day' Oh yes, so wishes Panag?.

But I think there is a range of topics eg red fungus which many can comment on without breaking confidence.

If I ask after Kass or, forbid Lemmy, will that compromise the game........... Well maybe, point taken.

I had assumed that you were suggesting - absent the Empath Guild - that the "no trading before in-game contact" protocol be dumped. That would seriously have disadvantaged Miriam and Roze (well maybe not so much Roze, as her 'infiltration techshare' might kick in earlier after she's probed enough)

If it's as inoccuous as you subsequently suggest, then there's no problem

Interaction between teams before commlink freq. is a bit unrealistic IMO, but it can be fun anyway. Diplomatic agreements before commlink freq. is very unrealistic and I hope we can avoid it, but we can make a "free emergency freq. " or something, just for fun?

I have a freqency here in my ship-log:

Code:
... _ _ _ ... ... _ _ _ ... ... _ _ _ ...

*squuuueek*
mayday... mayday...  do you read me... do you read me?  
If you are intercepting this signal please respond to the Free Pirate Freq = 23544Hz. 

Pippi here, there is something in the water ahead of us. 
I am alone here with all these monkeys. 
They are starting to panic.  *background noise: Oink-oink*

I will take a closer look... Can this be a pod?  
Oh, no it's moving towards us.
Nelson, man the aft fusion batteries! 
Full speed starboard... Hey!

*snap*  Please assist...  *crackle*  , in quadrant...  *pop*

*silence*

The pirates have wine, women and song and parrots and eyepatches: wonderful ships and lots of ocean. Why even one day some of those north/south/east/west sea isles could be yours.

I think we have a small problem: Nivoxz N. has managed to join 3 forums (UoP, Hive and CyCon). This could lead to all sorts of problems. What should we do? A simple mistake or a DL?
