Sovereign!!!-Good to see you back! My control panel is messing up.

Everyone-If you sent me any PM's, please send them again....I haven't received anything for over a week. Sovereign, if you sent me a PM, can you please send it again?

Mr. President and Kass-Good luck!

Since summer vaca has started for me, I'll have some more time to cook up some Hive posts, but please excuse me if I reply to you all late. I won't be in school as much (thats where I've been posting all the recent Hive posts as of late) so I might take a couple days to get back to you all.

Smiles!

Frankychan · May 28, 2002, 21:52

Sorry, one last thing:

Quote:

Sparta has no need for alien allies because we are strong enough to stand on our own.

Good comeback from Marcus, Sprayber. Never thought this would be a response.

Still--->

<---Spartans.

Mr. President · May 29, 2002, 04:00

Way to make constructive use of a double post, Sprayber.

In other news, nothing has happened on the writing front. Sorry Lonestar, it looks like the Drone government visit to Beta Hydri is lost in the blind eternities for now.

Mellian · May 30, 2002, 11:04

Hello, sorry for not writing much, i have been busy. Atleast the story didn't bypass that far off where i can't read it all... well, i'll skip the non-political/diplomatic and non-military posts to save time

Cease stoped, where TA controls practicly all of the major stuff int he three systems, with only a few morganite stations, ships and etc left. Pirates took longer to stop, but they did and now starting to leave the systems to start hiding in their usual pirate pattern. (Joe Nova and a 1/3 of the surviving Novan clan will go to Sol for a bit, will hide around the Asteroid belt under TAF supervision. If i can get around, will do a post concerning Joe Nova's views on the Belters.)

Not sure about the ship weapons regulation Firaxis as, but five Battlecruisers will be sent from Sol to Firaxis, and only one will orbit the World of Trees or wherever the summit will happen, carrying the TA delegation (the General-Secretary [since morgan will be coming himself], TA Diplomacy Advisor and various ambassadors from some members like Earth, Mars and Venus. Saturn Kingdom may have someone coming, so will the Scions, which is something new. why not? they participated in the battles, where they didn't do whole that much. will be the first time a Scion goes on another world outside of Sol since the unofficial scion war.)

is there any replies people would like me to answer in the story? Oh, even thought the Hive supports TA, TA doesn't support the Hive...maybe except the Earth Coalition.

Kassiopeia · May 30, 2002, 11:24

EC definitely supports the Hive. Not official, but it'll come to pass soon enough.

History Guy · May 30, 2002, 12:58

What I'd like to know is: When do were start negotiations?!

Kassiopeia · May 30, 2002, 13:16

About what? I have been totally out of BAC for the past week or so... I can't even remember Greg's surname without checking the thread!

Sorry Mister Dalmant...

You mean peace? I guess that's up to the TA... when shall the Terran Council appoint the delegation? EC reps are recommended to be present in it.

Mellian · May 30, 2002, 14:23

whenever... game time wise, 2-4 weeks after the cease fire was declared atleats, at Firaxis. Like i said, the TA delegation will comprise the General-Secretary, Diplomacy Advisor and reps from Earth, Mars, Venus and the Scions. Possibly some from the Saturn Kingdom, but they weren't exactly involved in the war and their still new. Fleet Admiral Kerensky will be at the edge of the Firaxis system in his BC and 3 others while another who will bring the delegation will orbit the planet.

-Mellian

Mr. President · May 30, 2002, 21:49

Whoever writes it (it might end up being me): Firaxian security regulations forbid unescorted foreign warships in the World of Trees system. So keep that in mind.

I'll be back, eventually.

Frankychan · May 30, 2002, 22:31

Alright, I've just come back from looking at the GHE website and

daaaaaamn....I need to update it! I forgot to put the history of the Xiero and the Tarlak. Sorry if you all are curious about them and wanted to know where they're coming from.

Sovereign-Once again, my apologies for not putting the UCS on. I'll try and get it up ASAP.

Also noticed a lot of typos and I'll try fix those as well.

Before I forget, do General Tacticus and Sprayber want me to edit my message post to the Cadre?

GO YANG!

Frankychan · May 30, 2002, 22:38

oh BTW

GO EC!

I think that would be a good idea, otherwise we will most likely end up with another big war going on, which we don't want.

Sprayber · May 31, 2002, 02:57

Franky You can edit it if you want to but all that really needs to be done is to make sure that the Hive ships that go into the system aren't identifiable as Hive ships. Yang said he would send ships but he never said exactly what kind of ships.

One good thing for you about them not being regualar ships is that as soon as a full Spartan fleet arrives they will be toast. But if they are Pirates or mercs, Yang shouldn't be too devasted.

History Guy · May 31, 2002, 10:57

Guess what?! I might just actually get a post done today!

Kassiopeia · May 31, 2002, 11:06

Whoa! Respect to HG! I thought of having a post done sometime next week.

School's over, tomorrow I shall receive my, what is it, well, that document that proofs that you have cleared Finnish comprehensive school.

Best of my class, naturally...

Average of 9,3 when the utter maximum is 10... 9,89 when in regards of 'literature' subjects (that is, average with the grades from Arts, Music, PE etc. excluded).

Frankychan · May 31, 2002, 19:50

its good to see History Guy, General Tacticus, Sprayber, and Kass are still kicking.

Sprayber-I think I might have to change the post. I posted that Yang was sending battlecruisers, frigates and such. Personally, I think this is a little specific so I'll make it more adaptable.

Kass-Good job!

Glad to see fellow Apolytoners doing good in their own respective land.

Arright, I'm outties till the next time!
Booyah!

Kassiopeia · June 1, 2002, 03:33

Thanks Franky. By the way, you are not suffering from amnesia - last night I had my login changed from kassiopeia to Kassiopeia.

Mr. President · June 1, 2002, 04:46

Hey! Nice new login!

Somehow it looks better this way.

And I like your new Beyond Alpha Centauri tagline.

Yes, I somehow now have magically lost my feel of newbiedom...

I thought of shortening it to Kass, but all the Finns call me Kassi (kassi = a bag

) and Kass sounds like a girl.

Just putting things in the right perspective.

History Guy · June 1, 2002, 10:07

Yeah, sure, Kassiopeia.

(History Guy loads his shredder pistol...)

And guess what I didn't have a chance to do yesterday? These summer months! I always think that because of a lack of school I can actually get things done in them, but nay.

Here's what I am planning, however: Morgan having dinner on his ship, the reporter is tagging along, hoping to interview Col. Kessel. Delbar is returning to Morgan Interstellar, eating peanuts on the shuttle. Exploration of the new colony planet begins.

Frankychan · June 1, 2002, 22:45

Hope everyone is doing good!

I've edited the Hive message to the Cadre. I've also posted a little somethingsomething to get the H.E.F. out of Samnos space and toward LP 658-2. This way, Bippol gets to find out and tell command of the attack there.

You know, how do you make a link in your sig? I'm trying to get BAC in my sig also, but it's not happening. Help please!

Lonestar · June 1, 2002, 23:59

Reminding everyone that, if you live in the USA, there's a B5 marathon tomorrow starting at 1:00pm eastern.

To get a look as to how I envision Proctectorate Battleships, watch Legend of the Rangers and look for the Valen (The big green Ranger ship)

Mr. President · June 2, 2002, 00:46

Franky: The way I did the links originally was to click on the button to post a new reply, use the "URL" function there to make a link, then copy the code, open my control panel, go to "Edit Profile" and paste the code in my signature.

They show Babylon 5 down on the Forgotten Continent sometimes, on our TV1. I've only ever seen the commercials for it; it didn't really appeal to me. Sorry.

Mr. President · June 2, 2002, 00:51

P. S. Kassi = bag? That explains the avatar.

The other day, someone called me "Dubya" on the Off-Topic. Should I be offended by that?

“Money, of course,” responded the CEO, in mock surprise, “What else? Well, we shall see if the Terrans like the idea of being presented with fifty million credits?”

50 million credits?! why is morgan paying them,and not vice versa??espessialy with that mighty drone\spartan\believer fleet sitting on the border??

History Guy · June 2, 2002, 16:34

Hey! 50 million is a lot of money. A credit ain't worth a buck, ya know.

Anyway, he knows that the Terrans can strike elsewhere. This is only to soften them up.

Kataphraktoi · June 2, 2002, 18:51

yes,i realise 50 million isnt a small sum.its just IMHO,the chiron factions are much stronger than the ''earthers''...

[RAMBLE MODE ON]

but these threads always seem to end in military stalemate anyway because of things like ''sure you destroyed my flagship,but i have a even bigger ship coming in from xyz system''

i think BAC would be more entertaining if the humans played one side vs the ''AI'' or whatever you call it in this situation,because no one would get offended when there faction starts getting destroyed(leading to a stalemate when they counter each others moves over and over and the thread dying)

[/RAMBLE MODE OFF]

Mr. President · June 2, 2002, 19:18

I also found it slightly odd that Morgan was willing to give up so much money (I've heard of land-for-peace, but cash-for-peace?

). I suppose you have to spend money to make money.

Frankychan · June 2, 2002, 20:12

Well, actually, I thought 50 mill was small coming from Nwabudike. Seeing as how he is head of a system spanning conglomerate, he must make trillions of credits.

Cataphract-you bring up some good points, but the thread god has indeed stated that at a later time, things will get very interesting for all of us. Right now we are all establishing ourselves in the BAC universe with little "mini soap opera" events happening. I'm sure we don't all want a big war and then find out that we have to fight a BIGGER war after.

Of course, Yang is still keeping his true intentions a secret....even though I've had to state some of my plot idea's numerous times...but that's ok cause that's what collaboration is all about.

Am I right fellow BAC authors?

(BTW, Honestly Cataphract-thanks for your objective input! I for one would welcome any comments you have on the Hive P.O.V. postings!)

i hadnt taken that into consideration.your right,he must make an obscene amount of money.50 million does seem small now,considering he is a system spanning conglomerate...
