Sankis is supposed to post the nominations, and his votes for his candidate.

First one who receives a turn with a AI faction(s) is supposed to post their votes and candidate as well.

Sankis · April 21, 2004, 18:21

I emailed them to you, didn't you recieve it? From my last post:

Quote:

Mail sent to all members of the game regarding the planetary council I started up. (accidently, but oh well. Might as well.)

Heres what I sent if you didn't recieve it:

Quote:

This is just to inform you that I recently started a Planetary Council vote not long ago.

The Candidates are:

(Gaian) Deidre
(Peacekeepers) Lal

The votes are as followed:

Sankis: 7
Aeolus: 4
Elevea: 8
Rubin: 6

Diedre: 10
Lal: 12
Yang: 9

As of this email, it is a tie with each candidate having 19 votes.

Good luck, and vote carefully.

I voted for Lal, I forgot to add that in the message

(I sent it to you too, Mr. CMN. Don't any of you check your mail?)

Sorry for the confusion.

GeoModder · April 21, 2004, 18:43

Yes, I did earlier this evening, and no 'voting' mail was received then.

Doesn't matter now. It seems if everyone is willing, this governor vote can be nullified by simply abstaining. Nicely done!

Barinthus · April 21, 2004, 21:23

So Yang voted for Diedre?

Btw the turn you sent was actually for you, Sankis. Resend?

Sankis · April 21, 2004, 21:47

It was? Werid. Resent.

Barinthus · April 21, 2004, 23:12

Thanks, Sankis

Queen, it's your turn.

Barinthus · April 22, 2004, 00:02

MY 2128

It has been a busy year for Datajack Aeolus. Ever since the first contact with Sankis and his Pirates, Data Angels' comlink has been flooded with messages from other factions.

There's even the first Council meeting with elections for the governorship of the Planet! It has been happening too quickly for Aeolus' comfort but he did not have much choice in the matter.

Seven factions... Aeolus never expected all of this to be so complicated. Sighing to himself as he stood before the updated map of the area in which his bases are. All he could see were xenofungus. Indeed, there are much work to do.

Sitting down at his desk, he went over reports complied by his intelligence "experts" on faction leaders. Some of them, he knew personally, but this was nearly 30 years ago in a different life and a different time. So much has changed ever since then.

He hope very much so that somehow he will be able to craft a peaceful co-existence with others but few leaders have been hostile toward him already.

Ah, yes, it has been a busy year.

*************************************************
MY 2128.2204, Queen's Chamber.

"Elections for a planetary governor??" Elevea cried, "Why should we acknowledge such a government, we're independant and no-one will tell us how to live!"
Geo answered: "Calm down, Gwynn. Nothing we can do about that now. We're not alone on this world after all. If the other factions feel the need for such a governor, let them do so. We simply keep out of it as much of possible, or attempt to become the governor later on..."
"Yes, but..." Elevea flared up.
"No, no but." Geo interrupted. "It works two ways as well. If that bastard Yang continues to press his will, we can appeal to that council then.
"Ok, " Elevea said, "but this must be discussed in the council as well."
"I'll call out for a meeting then." Geo said, "See you later!"

*************************************************
Council proposal: elect Planetary Governor, MY 2128

Candidates: Lal and Deirdre

Deirdre: 19 votes (10 from Deirdre, 9 from Yang)
Lal: 23 votes (12 from Lal, 7 from Sankis, 4 from Barinthus)
Abstains: 8 votes (8 from Elevea)

Barinthus · April 23, 2004, 04:03

This is to let you guys know that I'll be away from my precioussss computer until Saturday evening or Sunday afternoon, -8 GMT.

GeoModder · April 23, 2004, 04:18

Make sure you got some other preciousss with you instead

Rubin · April 23, 2004, 08:00

2129 to Sankis.

Deirdre has been elected Planetary Governor--I hope to have an update ready soon.

---

Randomness & Carelessness, M.Y. 2128:
So, the fine Captain Sankis has convened the Planetary Council. It is disturbing how reckless the faction leaders' dispositions seem to be. Firstly, they all knew that the University votes were crucial and none of them found it nescessary to confer with me prior to voting. It should be evident that Brother Lal should not be allowed to claim governorship and Lady Deirdre were not to benefit on this fact. However, the careless voting of DataJack Aeolus left me with no choice. Alas, the inefficient Lady Deirdre is now our Planetary Governor. Disturbing indeed.

And why is it that diplomatic negotiations seem completely futile? How come the faction leaders think they have time to wait? This tendency is foolish and generally a waste of time. Of course, Brother Lal may have his own personal incentives but why do the Atlantean Kingdom refrain from diplomatic progress? And why should the Data Angels decide to hesitate? Surely, something is up and I cannot afford to sit and wait.

The seeming randomness and carelessness projected leave a clear impression of factional dispositions. I hope it is not too late for reasoning.

Sankis · April 23, 2004, 15:47

Turn passed to Angels.
Rubin you have mail as well.

Barinthus · April 25, 2004, 17:29

Turn passed on to Geo

GeoModder · April 25, 2004, 17:52

Well, turn was played before you posted...

And I do hope to receive some positive RP answers! Then I could perhaps write and interesting story in the thread.

2129 on to Rubin.

Sankis · April 25, 2004, 19:37

Geomodder, i'm unfortunatly not able to send mail at the moment. However, I read your message and sent a PM instead of a mail.

GeoModder · April 26, 2004, 05:14

Rubin · April 26, 2004, 06:56

2130 to Sankis.

Sankis · April 26, 2004, 15:34

Turn passed to Data Aeolus of the Data Angels.
==============================================

The Nautilus Empire has recently signed a Brotherhood Pact with Yang of "The Hive". The Nautilus Empire will do their best to uphold their part of the pact.

Long live the Nautilus - Hive alliance.

Barinthus · April 27, 2004, 00:18

Turn passed on to Geo

GeoModder · April 27, 2004, 06:16

Turn moved to Rubin

Question: I noticed that first Pirates and Angels started a secret project, but that next turn those were gone from the F5 screen. Is this a MP bug that they first appear when construction starts and dimish till finished, or did you guys had to stop constructing it for some reason?

Rubin · April 27, 2004, 09:41

2131 to Sankis.

GeoModder: The F5 screen is correct. Only during sunspot activity may the information be wrong, I think.

Barinthus · April 27, 2004, 09:43

I have 4 PBEMs ongoing so I might have them mixed up a bit but IIRC as Angels I did start one but had to cancel it.

GeoModder · April 27, 2004, 10:12

Thanks for the response, guys.

Sankis · April 27, 2004, 15:14

Aye, I canceled mine as well for In game reasons. Don't worry, though I didn't know f5 gave that information out. Interesting.

Sankis · April 27, 2004, 15:33

Ouch. I'm not doing so hot anymore..

Turn to Angels.

Mart · April 27, 2004, 15:41

Sankis,
F1 - Datalinks
F2 to F10 - various faction info
F11 - menu switching
F12 - commlink

F2 to F8 give you also info on Pacted factions or infiltrated. This is one of the most interesting aspects of SMAC/X. Intelligence is powerful in this game.

Barinthus · April 27, 2004, 22:46

Head up, Geo!

GeoModder · April 28, 2004, 12:38

Sorry for the somewhat later posting of the turn then usual, diplomatic issues were to be attended.

MY 2131 to the good doctor.

Btw, Barinthus. Both your inboxen await your attention.

Rubin · April 28, 2004, 15:55

To Sankis.
