Turn to SMH.

80 to darius.

unfortunately, Archaic's build up of weapons of mass destruction near my newly conquered territory, has forced my hand. i was left with the difficult decision of declaring war and making a pre-emptive strike on his military bases.

hobbes, his dutiful pactmate, automatically intervened on his pact brother's behalf(computer decision).

my objective is clear: i will have to disarm archaic's military and bring peace to Planet.

-Provost SMH

Archaic · March 7, 2003, 20:42

Weapons of Mass Destruction? What the hell are you talking about Provost? Any pre-emptive strike on our bases is a clear act of agression against the soverign territory of the peaceful Hive nation. If indeed that landmass we're currently raising the sea bed to connect to is yours, and that is how you feel you've been threatened, then simply say as much and we'll cease. We have no intentions of engaging in conflict with the UoP, and we had already signed a Treaty of Friendship with you towards that intention.

perimiter defenses in every single base, suggest that the Hive is preparing for war.

the UofP on the other hand, is only interested in peace and research, as the plentiful network nodes in our empire attest to.

the Believers called my research blasphemous, and attacked me, leaving me no choice but to conquer their empire.

the Hive is only interested in control and military might. i will not wait, until it is too late, and let the Hive build up a mighty military.

if peace can only be attain through force, then so shall it be.

Archaic · March 8, 2003, 02:04

Our Perimiter Defenses are for protection from the Mindworms, and from the Gaians who declared Vendetta quite some time ago because we refused to go into Green Economics. We are preparing for no offensive actions, as our lack of offensive weapons can will attest. We are building, yes, but not military might. Formers we are building, and infrastructure for our good citizens. Not weapons of war.

smhfan86 · March 8, 2003, 02:14

formers u say, my dear Chairman? how can i be sure that they aren't simply a cover for mobile weapon labs?

perimeter defenses have no effect on mindworms. they can only be used against man-made weapons. which begs the question, who's man-made weapons are they designed to stop?

- Provost SMH

p.s. glad u can be a sport about this Archy. some people just can't take being attacked and lash out like whiny kids.

Archaic · March 8, 2003, 03:09

One could say exactly the same thing about your Formers Provost. However, given that these things have been going around planting forests, farms, condensors and roads, they would seem to be generic formers, would they not?

Which was not something we knew when they were first set up. My people were understandably afraid. We lost many bases to wild rushes of worms early on. Even if they have no real defensive ability against the worms, they still help my people psychologically.
And I already said whose man-made weapons they're supposed to stop. The Gaians. All because I refused to go into a Green economy. They've got a transport right off my coastline if you hadn't noticed, and I've only stopped them thusfar by giving them nowhere to land. Frankly, if you're that unobservant about things, perhaps you shouldn't be trusting your own judgement on this matter, eh? Seriously Provost, attacking someone who doesn't have real weapons, and has displayed no real intentions to develop weapons except in self-defense against the Gaian agressors, as a pre-emptive measure to stop yourself from being attacked? There is no logic in that, and I know Provost that you hold logic highly.

- Chairman Archaic

P.S. Actually, I've been expecting it for quite some time. I simply didn't have enough room to build bases up here, and not enough production in any coastal cities early enough to get Foils into the water and exploring. I figured I'd lasted this long simply because I wasn't a target worthy of notice, but now that I've got the LV , which I don't doubt you want, and I've started to get terraforming in place, my territory's become a lot more valuable than it was earlier, especially for its easy access to the Gaian territories via Needlejets, if only I had them.

H0bbes · March 8, 2003, 04:03

And Darius has a probe in my waters. The plot thickens.

Turned to my friend the smurf.

Archaic · March 8, 2003, 04:29

Turn to the traitor.

smhfan86 · March 8, 2003, 18:13

81 to darius

logic, my dear chairman. the provost is logic incarnate.

Archaic · March 8, 2003, 19:13

If that was so, why would he be attacking someone against whom he has no infiltraition, someone who had no knowledge of him even being there, let alone any intention to make an offensive action?

smhfan86 · March 8, 2003, 20:56

dear chairman, all the knowledge i need is that u have many crawlers sucking up minerals and nutrients, which can only lead to one conclusion. that u plan to use those minerals and nutrients to support a vast army.

logic dictates that i make a pre-emptive strike, to prevent the hive from amassing weapons of mass destruction.

Archaic · March 9, 2003, 03:36

Supporting a vast army is not the only valid conclusion, as you well know. I need those to support my population with basic food and infratructure, not an easy task with such a large population as mine.

smhfan86 · March 9, 2003, 17:42

the hive only supports such a large population for miliatary purposes, as is obvious under its police state.

H0bbes · March 10, 2003, 17:16

So why attack me then? What's your miserable excuse this time?

2182 to the Hive.

smhfan86 · March 10, 2003, 18:32

u(the computer) intervened and declared vendetta on me when i began disarming the hive. u made no effort to revoke ur vendetta, thus implying that u were collaborating with the hive.

H0bbes · March 11, 2003, 07:02

Did YOU offer to reinstate since YOU caused the change in the first place? How could I be collaborating? It's sunspots so no tech exchanges are possible; we were at Vendetta so I had no intel to offer; and I have no military capable of assisting the Hive.
Admit it; despite all your hot air, YOU are an opportunistic warmonger, bent on conquering planet and enslaving humanity in your labs. Let history witness your evil deeds.

A Police State is better than a Fundamentalist Theocracy, as I'm sure you'd agree Provost. A dictator can be kind and benevolent, and that can be attested to by my own Pact Brother. Do you truly think the UN Peacekeepers would even think of talking to me if I wasn't such?

smhfan86 · March 11, 2003, 12:34

warmonger hobbes? does a warmonger have network nodes in every base, so he can perform research for the benefit of all mankind?

fundamentalist theocracy chairman? i am a researcher, not a religious zealot. i would never do research unders such a strict regime.

by extricating the hive and the pks from planet, the university is performing a service to planet's environment and its people.

the UofP is stunned at the hive's vicious attack on UofP weapons inspectors.

H0bbes · March 13, 2003, 18:33

Inspectors my ass! Imperialistic forces of agression and despotism is more like it. Go experiment on your lab rats and leave us all alone.

Turned.

Archaic · March 13, 2003, 19:52

A warmonger has Network Nodes in every base, so that he can perform weapons development banned by the UN Charter! Not to mention Command Centers and Bioenhancement Centers in every single base to augment his troops.

Exactly Provost, exactly. My government is not a theocracy either. I am a Benevolent Dictator. And judging by the complete lack of what you would call "Drones" in my bases, ever single landfall, I rather think my citizens appreciate that rather much more than your citizens do your rule. Indeed, I have proof to that effect from the lone UN Rover pilot who escaped from your custody shortly after you declared war on us both, and the council will be seeing that evidence as soon as the sunspots are gone.

"extricating the hive and the pks from planet" are we? Thank you for admitting your warmongering. As for your "Weapons Inspectors", I don't think even you could claim that there would be any in my nation if you were trying to "extricate" us, could you? These "Weapons Inspectors" are nothing but Drop Probe Teams, Missile Choppers and Missile Penetrators. You've already slain many of our troops trying to insert these into our nation, as well as having destroyed much of our resource extraction network.

smhfan86 · March 14, 2003, 00:16

83 to darius

my weapons inspectors were attempting to bring peace to our land, and yet u(archy) ambush them like gorillas in the midst?

i would have gladly accepted a peaceful solution if both of u had openly destroyed all or ur military weapons. yet u mocked me and the UofP Council by building more in ur bases?

clearly, the UofP was left with no choice but to cleanse the world of all evils and leave only the righteous to live in peace on Planet.

Archaic · March 14, 2003, 00:24

I see you've conviently forgotten that you were attacking us long before you sent in these so called "Weapons Inspectors", with Missile Choppers and Penetrators no less. YOU are the one who should be disarming Provost. The Hive possesses only 1 Laser, and all other militarty personel are armoured garrisons with hand weapons. Mock you? Hardly. We're simply training more troops for our own protection against your conquest plans.

smhfan86 · March 14, 2003, 01:24

the UofP knows that the hive police state trains all its people in the deadly art of hand-to-hand combat.

disarming means total disarmanent. my weapons inspectors could not safely pass into ur territory until i eliminated some of ur illegal weapons platforms. unfortunately, i could not predict that u would hide troops in the fungus.

Archaic · March 14, 2003, 05:35

Oh dear. We train our people in ancient martial arts. Yes, that's a lot more scary than a missile.

Weapons Platforms? Seriously Provost, I think you must be high off something concocted in your labs. As for "hiding troops in the fungus"....hah! All our troops who made attacks in self defense from our own cities. We hide nothing in the Fungus. Indeed, we're trying to rid ourselves of the blasted stuff.

H0bbes · March 15, 2003, 17:02

Sheeeeeeeesh. You can tell who models their foreign policy on the bloody Americans: "We rule the world, let's kill everyone else and destroy the UN."

Turned.

Archaic · March 16, 2003, 09:54

Indeed we can. If only these sunspots would clear up so that all could see the true extent of the Provost's ambitions.

Turn to SMH.

smhfan86 · March 17, 2003, 18:59

84 to darius

the UofP has unfortunately had to take leadership of some Hive and PK bases, as clearly, their leaders were not working in the best interests of Planet and its people.
