Cycon, Peace and the Hive - the endless decision on what to wear
My official position is netural in all matters regarding peace and cycon.

Summary:
* Kody complains about no decision being made on the cycon issue.
* Voltaire points out we're in pact, but we're not obligated at all due to no formal document being written up.
* General grumbling about the way the hive decisions wander like a stray sheep.
* Kody points out that the cycon are actually weak for all their boasting and have changed back to economic production after seeing the hive's infiltration.
* Voltaire suggests that hive needs to go to war with the cycon to keep the citizens happy as the university isn't a team anymore.

Kody says: what's your opinion on the peace?
Voltaire says: But try to resist looking at the other forums.
Voltaire says: We should give them tech and units to fight back against the CyCon
Voltaire says: retake their former territory
Voltaire says: also
Voltaire says: I think we should have the Drones call into session an RP planetary council
Kody says: they won't be able to retake their former territory alone
Voltaire says: To decide on the Peace-CyCon issue
Kody says: if we do that while the cycon are winning
Kody says: the cycon will hate us for it
Voltaire says: Let them
Kody says: by doing that you set our path against the cycon you realise?
Voltaire says: I do not see why we should allow the CyCon to invade other factions freely
Voltaire says: They started the war
Voltaire says: they are the aggressors
Voltaire says: The Planetary Council has every right do demand they withdraw from PEACE territory
Voltaire says: if they do not
Voltaire says: then we have an excuse to go in and help peace
Voltaire says: Indeed
Kody says: how does multivote systems work
Kody says: the option with the most votes win?
Voltaire says: multivote?
Voltaire says: oh
Voltaire says: hmm
Voltaire says: Not quite sure exactly
Voltaire says: but yes
Kody says: at the moment it's 2 votes to help the peace
Voltaire says: the option with the most votes wins
Kody says: we should negotiate something with the peace
Kody says: also we don't have the actual military techs that the peace need
Kody says: we'll need to get the drones to give them to the peace and that might mean concessions
Voltaire says: concessions?
Kody says: Personally I would agree to cloudbase in exchange for full drone backing of peace as submissive
Kody says: peace as submissive would give an extra forum to play in
Kody says: and more people in interact with hopefully
Voltaire says: indeed
Voltaire says: I see what you're getting at
Kody says: however, we need to finalise the darn cycon issue
Voltaire says: which one?lol
Kody says: jamski effectively cut the decision off
Voltaire says: there's so many
Kody says: the cycon issue in our diplomatic stance
Voltaire says: did we not vote for neutrality?
Kody says: are we considering ourselves netural or for war?
Kody says: or for pact
Kody says: I think we went for some kind of pact
Kody says: can you post me the link of the decision
Voltaire says: I'll try to find it
Voltaire says: but well
Voltaire says: frankly the Hive public opinion changes too quickly
Voltaire says: we might need another poll on the issue
Kody says: yeah
Kody says: it changes day by day
Voltaire says: I don't think we know what we want
Kody says: depending on which politican is shouting loudest
Voltaire says: http://www.apolyton.net/forums/showt...hreadid=105462
Voltaire says: the winner was "declare neutral stance to both Cycon and PEACE"
Voltaire says: at 40%
Kody says: heh
Kody says: but we never did
Voltaire says: true
Kody says: also if you look at the options
Kody says: 2 for cycon
Kody says: 2 for netural public
Voltaire says: Only 5 voters
Voltaire says: Yes, I'm aware
Voltaire says: This is why I want compromise
Kody says: 1 for netural, private
Voltaire says: that was me
Voltaire says: lol
Kody says: I didn't vote in that poll
Voltaire says: I seem to be getting what I wanted since no one has bothered to inform the other factions of any of our supposed decisions
Kody says: lol
Kody says: well if you read the poll carefully
Voltaire says: I knew it would happen that way
Kody says: it's only about the war
Voltaire says: true
Kody says: which is kindof dumb
Voltaire says: the whole CyCon issue has never really been resolved
Kody says: becauses it should be about the whole cycon issue
Kody says: then once that is cleared up
Voltaire says: And once again I'm getting exactly what I want, no permipact with CyCon, just normalized relatinoship in pact
Kody says: decide on the details
Voltaire says: The Hive has too short an attention span
Voltaire says: They've already moved on
Kody says: to the jamski issue
Voltaire says: I think they've accepted that there will not be a permipact with the CyCon
Kody says: yeah
Kody says: I think honghu has informed the cycon too
Voltaire says: What is interesting in all this
Voltaire says: is that we do not have a formal non-aggression pact with the CyCon like we do with PEACE
Voltaire says: from a stricly legal point of view
Kody says: yep
Voltaire says: we are not obliged to not work against the CyCon
Voltaire says: whereas we are against PEACE
Voltaire says: That
Kody says: okay
Voltaire says: And the fact that the CyCon are the aggressors worries me
Voltaire says: They're the only faction showing the ambition of expansion.
Kody says: some of our team members think of the cycon as powerful forces to be reckoned with
Voltaire says: I know
Kody says: *chuckles*
Voltaire says: They're not, I've taken a look at the inflitration data
Kody says: the cycon have realised their mistake after seeing us
Kody says: they're going back into economic production
Voltaire says: Regardless we need to act not out of any necessity but because it would be in the best interests of the Hive to somehow act
Voltaire says: Even if it is RP
Voltaire says: Come to think of it
Voltaire says: A war would do wonders for Hive morale
Kody says: yep
Kody says: but it will be strange going to war against cycon
Kody says: by the way we're already trading shots with the data angels
Voltaire says: But it's not an outright war
Kody says: so far it's 1 probe ship, 1 laser ship destoried on data angel side
Kody says: 1 forest destoried on hive side
Voltaire says: We've since the beggining planned an invasion of the Uni
Voltaire says: We may want to carry thorugh with that
Voltaire says: No wait
Kody says: we'll have to delay the university invasion, if we protect the peace actively
Voltaire says: The Uni is no longer a team faction
Voltaire says: The Hive would benefit more if they see themselves going up against a team
Voltaire says: It would mean that when we win some of them would join us
Voltaire says: Hmm
Voltaire says: We could always go on the offensive and outright defend PEACE
Voltaire says: take a CyCon base or two
Voltaire says: demand that they end the war
Voltaire says: give them back a few bases
Voltaire says: but keep one for ourselves
Voltaire says: for security purposes
Voltaire says: that would serve quite well as propaganda abroad
Kody says: it'll be diffcult getting to the peace in time
Kody says: because the peace is actually fairly far away
Voltaire says: Hmm, you're right
Voltaire says: that is why i suggest the planetary council idea
Voltaire says: order the CyCon to withdraw and end the war
Kody says: it won't stop the cycon
Voltaire says: if they do not comply
Voltaire says: then we have an excuse to invade them later
Voltaire says: i don't expect it to
Voltaire says: but it will create tensino
Voltaire says: frankly come to think of it
Kody says: okay if you want to
Voltaire says: our friends with almost everyone stance is kind of boring
Voltaire says: we need enemies
Kody says: *chuckle*
Voltaire says: the Uni are no longer sufficient
Kody says: university?
Voltaire says: if we let the CyCon take PEACE
Kody says: heh
Voltaire says: then they become the evil imperialists
Kody says: can I post the last parts of this msn
Voltaire says: by all means
Voltaire says: please do
Kody says: It's quite amusing
Voltaire says: hopefuly it will get the Hive thinking
Voltaire says: which might mean we will finnaly act
Voltaire says: i've worked for compromise and the moderate position because the Hive has always been so divided on issues
Voltaire says: but if we were to formulate a plan of action acceptable to everyone

My position remains now, as it always was.
Milk 'em for tech.

I have no interest in prolonging this war. Let the sides battle unto the death.
I mean, what would delaying this war achieve?
Our greatest problem is CyCon and their big Air Power push.

We could go to war against CyCon for one simple reason.
We want to stop the bastards getting D:AP!

Failing that, we could stomp the PUT, to prevent Neural from finding its way to the CyCon.
MMI is in our hands and ONLY our hands. We must make sure this is the case at least until we get planet busters.

We could attack CyCon on the proviso that PEACE send us Adaptive (PEG attached) and their cruisers / amphibious prototypes.

We are the Hive. We can't sit and build forever, or we will lose in a game vs CyCon and Uni. We'll need to kick someone, sometime. For me 'copters are too late for the big Hive push. We may have missed our moment.

I just mean in general 'copters are too late in the game for the Hive. If the science factions were playing to the same standard as Kody-standard, then they would already be attacking US with 'copters now. Impact rovers are the Hive's best moment I feel, produced in quantity. And this map is Hive-unfriendly too - too much water to cross to meet enemies.

The first thing we need to do, is to finalize our position regarding CC.

Second thing we need to do, is to talk to PEACE to see if this surrender thing flies.

If that doesn't fly, third thing we need to do, is to propose the planetary council meeting.

Then from there, we will have to see how we can get CC to accept stop attacking PEACE territory. We don't need to ask them to return what they've got, they should be allowed to take whatever they win with their effor otherwise there's no hope of them agreeing to stop the war.

We also need to figure out what we are going to do if the CCs do not stop the war. How can we stop them using our force.
