Space Empires 101 - Galactic Council

[AMF]

I can agree to refraining from colonizing, that sounds fair. I also ceded two systems to Thermolia this month, to help them rebuild. I don;t think there are actually any empty planets in the core Dei-O systems, but there are a heck of a lot of empty planets in the Woostoid Woqua system. We'll call back my colonizer from going there, we have no problem with that. But this still leaves open the question of how to allocate the WW system planets to others such as Thermolia, Citizen, Rorg, and all the others....

RCC has recieved a large portion of intact Die-O territory. I propose that they refrain from colonizing.

I will restrict my colonization to former Die-O and Electrum systems, including neighboring asteroid systems.

And shouldn't votes be given proportionally to population, at least in the "lower house" and according to afixed number in the security council (or is there an "upper house" in this scheme?)

I would say that the three surviving superpowers should be the permanent members. Cyber Collective, Royal Corporate Commonwealth, and Citizen Federation would be the three as of right now.

As to votes, each race should be given an equal voice in day to day business. But on maters of security, the superpowers have the biggest stick and therefore the loudest voice.

[AMF]

That's certainly acceptable to us.

Now...is the disposition of the Woostoid Woqua system to be addressed in an orderly fashion, or is it still a "race to colonize"?

Our empire is in shambles and it will take years to rebuild to the glory we once had. But with the help of our alliance members it can be done. Getting some order to our systems is first task at hand, having all of our colonies spread out like butter on bread is hurting our people. But we shall complete a ship in the months to come that will enable us to restructure our space and get things in order.

We would suggest the creation of a Council force composed of Warp-opener ships that can assist your empire in this process. We've got at least one we could committ to such an endeavour.

Please don't forget Eysk. He was there fighting and helping.

Eysk Imperial Guard is ready to openly collaborate with other races of Galactic Council and will be glad to join the Council. Distribution of votes according to the empire population amount is acceptable. However, 5 members, able to use right of the veto is too much in our opinion. 3 elective members (elected once a year or so) is better.

So long as the status of Woostroid Woqua is dabated, I'm deputed to claim our rights to the planets: Woostroid II, III and XIII. It's our trophies captured during the military operation in this system. At the same time we are ready to discuss the sale or exchange of this planets to any interested empire.

We have a special proposal for RCC: we could convert any number of asteroids inside your territory to planets in exchange for colonies in Mannurepha system. Approx. exchange rate: 2 converted planet to 1 existing colony. Please contact us if you're interested.

If RCC will refuse and if any other empire will find such services useful, our fast and seflsustained stellar manipulators could create a planet, open or close warp points for you in any sector of the known galaxy for a reasonable price. Just let us know.[Shameless ad ]

Edit: just read the comments and I agree that Cyber Collective, Royal Corporate Commonwealth, and Citizen Federation are the best pretender to call themselves "The Council Core" (with veto right) even without elections and such.
