Zeta 2 game starting!

[Sabin]

Grand Master Sabin stood in his bedroom, thinking as "Live from the Yggdrasil" played in the background. He and his staff have recently come to a decision about attempting to make more deals with the Zeta Knights Society, or known as the ZKS in short. Hopefully the ZKS would not be offended by the shorthand term.

The deals, more specifically, had to do with conducting a trade operation based on that the ZKS would send ships loaded with technology to the Space Empire, in exchange for resources. There were also two other agendas, one of which concerned about allowing the proto-type Escort E-Type free passage through ZKS space. The other proposition was an extreamely dangerous topic: Forming a protectorate treaty with the ZKS, as the protected party. T

here were advantages, no doubt, but it may send the wrong message to the ZKS. More specifically, that the Space Empire is so weak, that it can be conquered easily by the ZKS. Which seemed to be true. The Space Empire wished to form such a protectorate, so that it may be under the protection of the ZKS if any hostile races were found, and to cement the relationship of the two empires, possibly making the passage of the technology proposal undeniable.

The discussion of the protectorate treaty was placed on hold for now, however. The Grand Master felt that the measure can be delayed so that the situation can be more clear.

A message about the first two proposals have been already sent. The following is the message:

"The Space Empire wishes to know if the Zeta Knights Society is willing to give ships to the Space Empire in exchange for the following goods: Minerals, Organics, and Gases. If the ZKS is interested, please make a price for the ships. What is desired in the ship composition is primarily examples of technology, that the Space Empire can examine freely."

"Also, permission is requested that a new vessel that the Space Empire recently commisioned, the Escort E-Type, is being constructed. This vessel is unarmed, and is meant for exploring the universe. However, it may need to move through ZKS territorys. The Space Empire is willing to give information about other systems. The Space Empire thanks the ZKS for lending a ear to the proposal."

Due to unforseen circumstances, I am forced to be removed from the game. Apologies to all players about this. This can't be altered, since computer use would be unavailable for at least one week.

Sabin,

I can put the game on hold for a week if that's all it is. In fact, I just got asked by another player to put it to ALPU for a week since they are having computer access issues also. Why don't you stay - others might complain, but, well, everyone should get at least one pass, no? And if it is for just a week, that won't kill anyone, eh?

thanks,

alarik
