Quote voice auditions for the Ultramind Mod!!!

Cybergod · January 25, 2002, 14:42

Hello everyone,

I am near completion of my Ultramind Mod, which I have dragged on too long and I really need to speed p the tempo of its development. All I need is people to say the following quotes, from the 'new' blurbs, for the couple of new techs, if that is okay. This means that I am looking for voluntiers, with a microphone (or something similar

) that are willing to provide the voices for the quotes. You will be mentioned in the credits of the mod, when it finally gets posted...

Any comments, suggestions and misc. please post here.

Quotes

*** (Quote for Space Habitation)
Are we content to stew in our collective juices, to turn inward as
our planet runs inexorably out of resources and wait for the Universe
(or perhaps our next-door neighbours) to grow tired of us and wipe
us out? Or shall we claim the planets and stars, distribute our eggs
among many baskets, ensure the long-term survival of our species, and
in the process embark on the greatest adventure of all time?
^
^ -- Brian Reynolds,
^ The Alpha Centauri Manual

*** (Utilised Espionage)
Formless and invisible, we are the arbiter of the enemy's
fate. One is strong if he causes the enemy to respond to him;
one is weak if one must respond to the enemy.
^
^ -- Sun Tzu,
^ "The Art of War", Datalinks

*** (Basic Psionics)
As the Ultramind split from the Planetmind, it extracted new
information and knowledge from it's horrific human hosts. In
doing so, it has managed to evolve new forms of psi techniques,
some of which have been deemed undreamt of before. And it will use
them ferociously against any same sentience that stands in its path.
^
^ -- Shaman Chiana Samato,
^ "Observing the Enemy"

*** (Ghost Enhancing)
Your basic training will consist of an introduction programme to our
so called "Ghost" projects. The individuals who choose to go through
the transformation will have direct uplink to Planet's vast computer
networks, from which you will commence various operations coming from
the highest chain of power - me, your rightful Emperor.
^
^ -- Emperor Tukal Adius,
^ except from Lord "Ghost" Project

*** (New Age Anthropology)
We need not worry so much about what man descends from - it's what
he descends to that shames the human race.
^
^ -- Mark Twain,
^ Datalinks

*** (Mapping the Planetmind)
After arrival: Progenitor notice things have changed. New tehcniques
developed: devastating Ultramind. Cultivator goal: map the remaints
of the more powerful Planetmind: to see if such evolutions can be
applied to our will.
^
^ -- Queen Galla Ke,
^ "New Home: New Dangers"

*** (Morphostrategic Algorithms)
All our final decisions are made in a state of mind that is not going
to last.
^
^ -- Marcel Proust,
^ Datalinks

Any volontiers? Anyone?

PS. Yes the first quote does come from the Alpha Centauri Manual!

Don't know if I'll be any good, but if you need a few quotes I don't mind...my friend thinks I'm pretty good at the authentic SMAC stuff (although when I go around quoting the Bioenhancement Centre quote at her I think I scare her slightly...)

james_aldred@hotmail.com if you need to contact me. Got a microphone.

Cybergod · January 26, 2002, 10:15

Thanx for replying! What is your voice like - deep? If so, would you mind doing Bryan Reynolds, Sun Tzu and/or Emperor Adius? I'll be forever grateful.

Googlie · January 28, 2002, 15:16

I can do any that you need - Scottish accent as well (can't get rid of it)

V'ger · February 1, 2002, 13:48

Hi,

I'd be interested. Baritone-tenor male with what some people say is a slight Southern accent. I have a mike, etc.

Cybergod · February 1, 2002, 16:33

OK, I am very glad when people voluntier!

Can we do it this way:

SMAC Fanatic: Marcel Proust and Sun Tzu
Google: Emperor Adius
V'ger: Brian Reynolds and Mark Twain

I'd be rejoycing even more if I had some female voice too

Hello,

I'd really like to do this, but a sudden family emergency has arisen and I will be out of town for about 1 week. I do apologize.

If the gig is still available when I get back, I'd be happy to do it.

I sincerelly hope all is well. May God watch over you and your family.

I am hoping some contact from the rest of you!

I have somehow receive a blank email from an unexistant adress (I sent an email asking what is it) with an attachment of "Humour.MP3.scr". I am suspecting that it is a virus so all of you - be careful! And my email adress (email.co.yu) was only given to the apolyton so it must be someone who browsed these threads who sent it!

Cybergod · February 6, 2002, 17:07

Well, looking in my mail box (specifically created to be used for my Apolyton businesses) and finding this:

no new messages for this time period

makes me wonder

To encode your WAV files to MP3 (any format - I can reformat it later) just get an MP3 Encoder at www.download.com the best site for Freeware!

Please don't be shy!

Hi,

Thank you for your very kind thoughts. One of our twin, 1-month, 2-week old granddaughters came down with Group B Strep (or Staph, never can remember which) and almost died.

As we were driving up we thought she would be dead when we got there as they had told the mother that the baby probably would not make it through the night. Fortunately, they figured out what she had and started antibiotics. She's fine now and has been moved out of the PICU to a regular pediatrics room. (Huge sigh of relief.)

So, we had some stressful days, but with a good outcome and had a great time visiting family. I'll have the passages you have assigned me back to you sometime the end of this week.

Googlie · February 13, 2002, 23:18

sorry for delay - getting ducks in order (and guests out of the way from their visiting me)

have downloaded the WAV to MP3 decoder - will start experimenting tomorrow

V'ger · February 21, 2002, 20:06

Hi,

Sorry for being tardy, but I have the texts done and encoded. I would have already sent them to you, but I couldn't find a way to send you an attachment.

Cybergod · March 1, 2002, 15:04

I hope everything is fine V'ger, but I am not sure why you can't attach the files. SMAC Fanatic sent me the files -->

but no one else did.

V'ger · March 1, 2002, 20:18

Hi,

Well, color me confused. Nowhere on HERE or when I click on "mail" for you do I see anything to let me attach a file.

Just tell me what to do and I'll do it. Sorry for all the hassle.

Cybergod · March 2, 2002, 07:24

Sorry, Apolyton's so called "mail" system does not support attachments (AFAIK) so you'll have to email it to moi manually at cybergod@email.co.yu

Google? Are you there? Goooggggllllleee...

Cybergod · March 6, 2002, 16:08

Ok I have just discovered that SMAC Fanatic has also sent me files for both Mark Twain and Brian Reynold and I didn't ask him to! So now, as I'm downloading V'ger's files, I have to select the best!

And google has gone away...

Will post soon...

Mea culpa, mea culpa. I just couldn't resist doing the Brian Reynolds one!
