Space Empires 101 - Galactic Council

[Wardad]

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

Nope, you are wrong in nearly all your wild allegations.
But I'll leave it there and not hichjack the thread anymore.

IC:
Thermolia brings distressing news to the council today. We had planed to make an announcement of realignment and repatriation, but this is not possible under the current conditions. Thermolia and it’s newly joined peoples are under attack by the Cyber Collective. This is a most heinous act and was not preceded by any declaration of war. This war is a blatant act of aggression with the sole goal being the prevention of the realignment that Thermolia was planning to negotiate. Instead of gracefully receiving their fair share and just rewards, the CC has used its massive fleets to take what it is not lawfully entitled to. To allow them success in this endeavor will doom the galaxy to enslavement, and bring an end to civilization as we enjoy it today. We will all be doomed to be ruled by a race of ankle grabbers.

Thermolia now calls on its allies. We ask that they come to our aid during this time of need. We ask that they drive the barbarian ankle grabbers back to their dens. And restore peace to the galaxy. Only then can an equitable realignment take place. Only then can these worlds be returned to their rightful owners.


OOC: Ok here is the short Version. Any allies that show up for the fight will be well compensated. As it stands now, the CC will get it all. And we all know that this will not be the end of it, how will you stand against him then?

[Wardad]

Well, of course. NOW you act reasonable.
NOW you talk about negotiations and sharing.
There was no mention of that before, you know, back when I objected to RCC gifting an empire to you. That would have been the time to message.

The Cyber Empire has a long standing history of generousity, and will continue to do so.

It is sad that our former friends were double dealing us, and treating us as unpaid servants.

1. About 50 years ago when Eysk was one of the weakest empires, leaders of the small nations (Eysk, Arteria and Vorlon) decided to form Lesser Union in order to protect each other and work together to achive economical and military success. We asked Thermolian Expanse to join us and be our leader. They refused, they told us that trade is the only kind of relations they want. I have no right to condemn their decision. But now we have opposite situation.

2. During Great Wars against Electrum and Dei-O, Eysk and Cyber Collective fought together hand by hand. Cybers are not most pleasant beings in the known universe, some of their actions are outrageous, but they never backstabbed us, so we won't do it too.

3. Cybersol started a dirty war. Where was no public war declaration. Cybersol draw in Citizen Federation to this war, although it was a conflict between 2 empires only. Previous demands of Cyber Collective are scandalous, and I think that the real reason of this war is greed.

We can't decide which side to choose, so we will stay neutral. Please don't use our systems for military routes and don't open warps into our space.

Eysk promised to not make any hostility against galactic races, but since all the treaties are broken and laws are crushed, I'm, Admiral Shekk, proud to declare Big Hunt for Wendigo Pride. Treat this as war declaration if you want.
