OOC: LOL Take a close look at the race pix's.

I'll have to dig up my old race profile from the ladder, it was an army of the dead kind of thing.

OOC: OK here is what the Thermolians were back in the days of the Borg Forum and The SE3 Ladder. They were actually temporal before SE4 made it fashionable! Of late they have become more religious where it is allowed and more Organic when religion is suppressed. But they are still the same old dead meat


Ladder Data on the Thermolians:


The Thermolians are an energy based race which evolved in the Quasars at the center of the galaxy. They revivify the dead bodies of their victims in order to interact in normal space. Their average lifespan is eternal. They have very little technology of their own, and are quite adept at stealing what they need from other races. They do tend to adapt these designs to their own manufacturing methods and materials.


The Thermolians are aggressive and known as devious schemers.
The Thermolians are a dictatorial empire dedicated to spreading its influence across the galaxy. The government keeps all of its citizens in line and allows no dissention. The society is ruled absolutely by the current emperor, with new emperors coming to power only after the current one has been killed in mortal combat by another Thermolian. This has only been known to happen two times in the Last three billion years. There are the occasional rebellions, but they are put down quickly and violently. Most of the galaxy has heard of the fate that The Last First Speaker suffered when he aspired to the throne.

Originally the Thermolians were not considered much of a threat to other species. They were largely unknown, being mentioned only in old myths. This is largely due to the fact that the Thermolians only leave their Quasars once every half million years or so, although a few remain on occupied worlds and never return. These are usually thought to be demons and devils by the local populations.

I'll let you know when I'm OOC.

I'm not buying Thermolians excuse for the message.
It came in response to my polite inquiry to trade resources and 5 DNs for a small planet of theirs in my system. A simple "NO" would have been acceptable.
Their reply was "We offer this gift with the hope that you will bend over and grab them ankles."

This response greatly angered Rear Admiral Hemorrhoid, who is raising a bloody mess about it.

OOC:

Odd, you did not negotiate with the Cybers, or offer them systems.
Unless you consider your offer to conquer the galaxy together a cease fire negotiation.

...evil talisman... bwahahahahaha... sure go a head and blame it.
blame it for 3 major battle loses where:
1. you were defender, had the first firing round advantage, and missed.
2. your ships orders caused them to fire at range 4 ships instead of range 0 or 1 ships.
3. you had superior numbers and tonnage.
4. you had the wave motion gun.

I suspect your ships and fleets were not fully trained. I was surpised by the lopsided victories.


The talisman is a nice touch, but I also had a few tricks in my ships that helped a bit. Also, the Cybers do have a great defense rating, and are fully trained.

OOC: I have now set the turn to run on Jul 17, 2004 2:21:55 PM EDT. It is a "timed turn only" so you all can switch your turns up until that point,at which point the turn will run. Sorry for the delay/hassle/etc...

EDITS: I'll put the game back on autoturns after this turn.

Thanks,
Alarik
