Being Russian, I will obviously choose the GLORIOUS

UNIVERSITY OF PLANET

Corellion · May 6, 2003, 01:01

Geeze. There are so many people joining the University and the Consciousness you'd think we were all... I don't know... computer nerds or something.

johndmuller · May 6, 2003, 02:54

Please sign me up for the Pirates, although my participation may be limited due to RL.

Mind you, not that I mind dictatorships much (epsecialy when I'm the one in power).

Well, if I was in charge of setting up your political structure (

) I'd organize it in the same basic way they do at the PTW DG RP team; you find appoint a Chairman who has basically unlimited power and can be brought down only by an internal coup (that is, a majority vote to have him replaced). Extra flavour can be added (like executions), depending on how much you like roleplaying.

Now, now come join the Pirates - we have xenobeer & xenorum, pirate babes and much l3wt! (And it's not impotency, it's proper birth control!!

)

Join the Hive under the iron fist of our democratically elected Chairman.

Suggestion - for all Hive members. We elect a Chairman, who cannot play the save during his time in charge. He is, however, responsible for making the plans, and telling someone else to actually play the save. Maybe?

We should discuss this in secret.

No one must know the details of Hive affairs.

So I can expect to see you in our escape pod then?

Hehe, well said.

But spies, however, will be ~~executed~~ handled immediately.

Drogue · May 6, 2003, 09:08

We have at least 4 per faction, which is nice

This is looking good

Archaic · May 6, 2003, 09:17

University faculty members, both those already on tenure and those joining on tenure, please contact me via PM with your IM details (MSN and AIM) so that we might be able to arrange a council of Deans at the earliest opportunity.

Please also include in your message your preferences in gennie. If you wish for something other than a catgirl/boy, or for a different outfit or personality, this can be arranged.

I can see this faction (HIVE) start with a number of dictators and then they gradually whittle themselves, by coup and executions, down to one. Then we'll step in and string him/her from the yardarms after the statutory keel haul.

Hercules · May 6, 2003, 10:21

Re Pirates: Pirates actually operated a democratic system, many having escaped from the oppressive run regular navy schemes. They also had worked out a fair system for sharing l3wt.

With a few more sea faring members we'll soon be able to steal ourselves a nice fast Sloop.

While most of the other factions discuss research nerdy stuff, we'll be drinking xeno rum, with some fine doxies, sailors, or sturdy matelots (whatever's your thing) beside us as we design our own particulr Skull and Crossbones flag.

What life would you prefer?

So... where are the forums already?

-Jam

AdamTG02 · May 6, 2003, 11:18

Sign me up for the University of Planet!

Voltaire · May 6, 2003, 13:04

Forums! Forums! Forums!

How else are we suppose to start plotting the demise of our enemies?

Regarding the government structure of the Hive, let’s talk about this using PM until the forums are up.

Drogue · May 6, 2003, 13:57

Do you people have no patience? I'm sure the forums will come along soon.

Snowflake · May 6, 2003, 14:08

Can I join? New and knowing little, I AM a close relative of Chairman Young.

Jamski · May 6, 2003, 14:10

The more the merryier - welcome into the dark world of the Hive (If you want to join our friendly faction)

-Jam

Snowflake · May 6, 2003, 14:13

Yes! The friendly dark world of Human Hive!

Edit: I saw your post in the other thread.

Nubclear · May 6, 2003, 15:20

Small question:

Isn't having University and Conciousness unbalancing our teams? Both are research teams.....

Maniac · May 6, 2003, 15:32

What would you suggest then? That the UoP (with Archaic and GT) and Consciousness (with Drogue and me) merge? Can you imagine what would happen:

Drogue · May 6, 2003, 15:45

We take different views ideologically, and they are very different to play. The UoP being very anti probe and pacifist, while the CyCon being more militaristic (having tech for conquering helps this) and better at probes. I always saw CyCon as a cross between UoP and the Borg. But I don't think it unbalances it, we have more research players, thus we need more research teams. You could say the Pirates and Hive are both militaristic, but they ahve enough differences to make it good.

moomin · May 6, 2003, 15:55

And should the fifth team get in, we're basically playing with two Hives - ordinary and Supersize. If they drop out once whatever the guy wants to demonstrate has been demonstrated to his satisfaction we might as well restart immediately rather than prolong the agony.

Maniac · May 6, 2003, 16:15

What do you mean?

Nubclear · May 6, 2003, 16:17

Hmm....Yes, I do think Concoiusness and University should merge, and that it be replaced by something else.

What if University and Conciousness were to have an alliance? It wou ld be unstoppable!!!
