Attention

The Hive is calling for all factions to unite behind cbn as the Supreme leader of Planet

The vote to date is

Hive 66 Yea
Cult 16 Nay
Cyborgs 6 ?
Spartans 59 ?
Pirates 18 ?

There are currently 165 votes so 122 are needed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

The Hive requests the support of all factions in the quest to unite Planet. While there has been some acrimony, it is time to set aside our differences and unify for the good of all the people. It is our hope that all leaders will see the wisdom of joining this quest and that lengthy wars will not be necessary to enforce the decision if the council should see fit to support my candidacy.

All factions that join this quest shall be treated as friends and allies and we shall move forward as a United Planet !!

The Cyborgs, of course, turned the Mad Emperor cbn´s "offer " down.

CBN contemplated the cyborg response

"We offered them peace and a united planet. They have instead chosen annihalation. Very well! We shall drive them from the face of Planet."

[Zaphod]

An excerpt from Colonel Zaphod's address brought to you by SPR,

"Today we cast a historic vote for the unity of Planet. Our faithful ally Emperor cbn has called on all factions to put aside their animosities and join him for the good of Planet. Henceforth we are no longer Spartans, Hive, Cyborgs, nor Pirates. We are now, every single one of us, citizens of Planet. I hereby declare an official day of celebration in honor of the dawn of a new era!"

and there was much rejoicing...

[cbn]

" Citizens of Planet, it is my hope that you can find it in your hearts to support this initiative. While celebrations are premature, our calculations indicate that we should be at or near the 75% threshold needed to achieve unity. I ask any factions with doubt to consider their options carefully. To oppose this initiative will mean years of strife in an attempt , almost certainly futile, to overcome two powerful and well armed factions. Is it really a good use of time and resources to battle on in what will certainly be a hopeless cause? The Hive has a large, well disciplined air force and a formidable number of drop troops available to enforce any new world order.

All factions will be well treated and if you wish you can certainly turn attention to other worlds to be settled. Let factions battle for supremacy on other worlds for the battle on this world should be done.


I salute my ally Zaphod of the Spartans and thank the Spartans for their support regardless of the outcome of this vote. The Spartans have been an honorable and trustworthy ally. Hopefully we will not have to combine our forces once again to deal with dissident elements."

[H0bbes]

Game over.

Despite the dissenting factions, the final vote was 125:40, just enough to get through. I- recognizing the futility of any other course of action, decided not to oppose the final outcome. Next time, remind me not to take over the pirates in a game where there's no water!

Nevertheless, well played all, kudos to the victors. See you on Planet sometime soon.

[cbn]

Hobbes, we certainly appreciate your taking over a faction when it was in such a bad situation. The map was a really tough one for the Pirates.

To everyone, thanks for the game and I look forward to seeing you on Planet again sometime.
