The Everlasting CCCP !

Pandemoniak · January 15, 2003, 14:57

Since we have 455 post at the CCCP, it is time to found a new thread. We therefore become the first two-(t)h(r)eaded party !

This is the official thread for the Centauri Communalism Citizen's Party. Here you can discuss about ideology, social agenda for CCCP, etc...

But for a start, as the founder of the CCCP, I want to explain you what the CCCP is. We are not old stalinists who took the spaceship to Centauri. We are not related to the Hive neither. We are just marxists. We believe in the struggle of social classes, Drones against Talents. We think that the engine of history is this struggle between social classes.
Alpha Centauri is our new chance, to apply marxism, and if we ever find a limit to Marx's wonderful theories, we'll build new theories, and the History will go on !

Our social agenda is very clear : we go for Democracy. Police State is not even an option, and Fundamentalism is stupidity. About economy, we of course favorite a Planned economy. When every worker knows what she/he has to do, things go better. We also favorite Green economy, since we know that the mistakes we have made on Earth shall not be made against Chiron. We cannot tolerate a Free Market economy for the damaged caused to Planet, and favors a Green Economy to develop our research.
We value Knowledge, since every worker, Drone or Talent, has a right to know. Nothing else is an option.
Our future society tends to be Eudaimonia, and it is actually our unique goal : make every people happy.

Our choice about the United Nation Charter is very strict : we do not allow any kind of atrocity. Human life, as Planet life, is far too important to use such nonsense and henious actions. Note also that we consider Punishment Sphere as an atrocity, since it is torture.

"Drones will never be free until the last Hivean is strangled with the entrails of the last Morganite." perhaps to make it more SMACish? Also it could be good to make a link in this new thread to the old one. Anyway, may I apply for "observer" status in the CCCP?

lucky22 · January 15, 2003, 17:31

I remain a member. I also retain my doubts that "knowledge" is the sole legitimate marxist value choice.

Main_Brain · January 15, 2003, 18:50

I already feel at Home :=)

I propose my new Doctrine: More Power through more Boreholes

Method · January 15, 2003, 18:51

i like that idea

Main_Brain · January 15, 2003, 19:52

NO Home is complete without one

GeneralTacticus · January 15, 2003, 20:32

Amazing. I can actually agree with a CCCP member on something.

Archaic · January 15, 2003, 22:44

Miracles do happen.

Voltaire · January 16, 2003, 01:20

Congratulations must go out to the CCCP, they’re the only original party still alive after more than a century on Planet. And they’re still going strong.

To the last 122 years, to all the joys, tears, and accomplishments! And to another century for the CCCP!

GeneralTacticus · January 16, 2003, 01:25

The LSD party is (technically) still alive, isn't it?

Pandemoniak · January 16, 2003, 06:34

Edit first post according to Maniac's idea

About boreholes, I think we must avoid to make Planet looks like a total gruyère, we shouldnt abuse of boreholing Planet. Moreover, as I said in the Centralis borehole thread, it can raise temperature and changes moisty land to arid land, depriving us of nutrients.

True, but that doesn't apply to forest squares, which will produce 3 nuts to bases with a TF and HF, regardless. While I would prefer to keep boreholes within base radii to a minimum, forests could be planted in the "dried out" squares and more dedicated farmland (if necessary) could be developed elsewhere in the base radius.

Main_Brain · January 20, 2003, 11:31

Boreholes provide Power and waelth for the Common Man.
Alos Boreholes make Planet a warmer world for the poor Drones who have no shelter!

Pandemoniak · January 21, 2003, 05:11

It remains a hole in Planet's body...

Pandemoniak · January 21, 2003, 05:42

Lets not be naughty...

Main_Brain · January 21, 2003, 07:57

I also uncover hereby my Secret Plan to Free all of Hive's Common Drones:
Raising the Land out of the Sea to connect our People should be our Next Goal!! :=)

Main_Brain · January 21, 2003, 08:08

The Drones need our Help!
Do your Duty!
Free our Brothers!
Support Project 'A Bridge of Friendship' !

lucky22 · January 21, 2003, 12:34

This plan is both foolhardy and interesting. Maglev madness!

Cedayon · January 21, 2003, 12:58

Raise a land bridge? That can be interesting, but I prefer another approach...

Get a large fleet (with plenty of SAM and AA ships to neutralize air threats) and a whole bunch of sea formers... see where this is going?

... move the stack of formers next to a hive coastal base and lower the elevation, under the escort of the military fleet. If the target base is small, it just disappears when submerged (unless Yang actually builds a pressure dome there); if the base is over a certain threshold it loses half it's population and gets a pressure dome... ripe for taking by the fleet

Rinse, Gloat, Repeat.

I've been known to carve whole continents to pieces as the Pirates

Support project "Dunk Yang"!

I suppose actions that result in the mass drownings of Hive civilians are out of the question, though...

Main_Brain · January 24, 2003, 09:02

Yeah but we arent the Pirates Matey

Our Navy is nonexistent our Seabases weak we lack Seaform Options so lets go the Upper Way shall we?

GeneralTacticus · January 24, 2003, 09:15

I intend to send us a *VERY* upper way - we'll use Fusion Needlejets to vaporize Yang's airforce, then obliterate his ground forces. Our ground troops would be relegated to occupying empty bases.

Main_Brain · January 27, 2003, 12:29

Fusion should be Used for RoverFormers not for War :P
Make Boreholes not War!

Drogue · January 27, 2003, 14:22

Well, I'd prefer a "Make Love Not War", or even a "Plant Forest Not War", but Boreholes are better than war.

Talk about choosing between a rock and a hard place

Main_Brain · January 27, 2003, 14:40

But Boreholes expand uncontrollable

This leads to anarchistic Terraforming!
Control Planet -drill some Holes..
Holes dont tend to expand on their own..

Drogue · January 27, 2003, 15:38

And thank God for that!

Beside, expanding forests means much less terraforming needed

Main_Brain · January 27, 2003, 15:48

Jupp but Forest Provide possoble Attackers Defensive Boni :=)
watch them Drop in BoreHoles instead

Drogue · January 27, 2003, 16:10

It also stops movement, so that even a rover has to be next to a base to attack (unless it's elite) and so is vulnerable to attack

Main_Brain · January 27, 2003, 19:02

Road Road Roll da Boat
everywhere will be Shiny new Streets I see it coming :?=)

waab · January 28, 2003, 05:05

I have just join SMAC democtaric game and I would like to join the CCCP

Maniac · January 28, 2003, 05:15

Great.

In case you'd like to live close to your party HQ, it is located in Pandemonium, Jedinica Vrijstaat.
