The Hive highly appreciates your attitude toward the imperialistic capitalists who seek to bleed their people white for money.

Shall the Pirates live long and in prosper, for they do not know about social classes!

Or you could join the wonders of logic which is The Cybernetic Consciousness. We are always accepting new members, and are the most active faction (# of posts and threads in private forum). If you want a heavily research based, very easily and interestingly RPed, and active faction, join the CyCon.

Remember, you only need to give up half your brain, the illogical half, for the wonders of logic that we have become.

Haon · May 16, 2003, 09:05

I here by pledge myself to The Hive and its goals, Long Live The Revolution and may Capitalist Roaders be as ants are to large shoes!

*sees all personal freedom and liberty taken away*

Thats just the best part of the job!

For the record the drones team currently consist of the following players:

buster
Triped
shadowlord3
Mongoose
Mark (13)
Main_Brain

As can be seen resistance will be futile

~~That's my line~~ er... I mean, that's my queue to... er... return to... base! Yes, that's it, I must return to base!

/me leaves and heads towards base, noting, while walkign pas Miriam's new HQ, a big mural reading "We must Dissent"...

Haon · May 16, 2003, 09:26

I think that for one short moment, all of the human factions shall make a pact to crush kill and destroy Miriam and her Bible Thumpers. The Hive will hate her religion, the Uni will hate her Fundimentalism, and the Pirates, Drones, and CyCon will just plain hate her.

Gnool · May 16, 2003, 09:29

Police States are awesome!!! Sign me up for the hive

Haon · May 16, 2003, 09:31

The Hive is Father
The Hive is Mother
The Hive is Brother

This shall be and must be recited every day when you wake up, and shall be the last thing you say before you sleep, and the last thing you say before you die and go into the tanks to become one with all the people.

Comrade, as a fellow Missourian, I recommend that you join The Human Hive.

The Hive welcomes people such as us, while the other factions enjoy spitting on us and belittling the accomplishments of Mark Twain.

LONG LIVE THE HUMAN HIVE!

FlameFlash · May 16, 2003, 10:30

I take it, SU that a Missouri Pirate would seem strange?

Are you calling me strange?

Wait... I am... crap...

Everyone knows Missouri is The Cave State, so Missourians will be much happier in the underground bunkers of the Hive. You have betrayed us!

Doesn't Comrade FlameFlash sounds better than Strange Missouri Pirate? Jump ship and join us! There will be ~~two~~ three Missourian comrades warmly waiting for you!

Now what is the rule about defection?

Eli · May 16, 2003, 14:38

Oooh! Oooh! I want!

Can I join The University of Planet please?

Micha · May 16, 2003, 14:50

THIS POST HAS BEEN HIJACKED BY THE DATA ANGELS.

It had to be deleted for security reasons. The faction of the Data Angels has been brought to Hive "Recreation through work" camps.

Sorry this had been a double post

Micha · May 16, 2003, 14:51

Sorry comrade, but the Hive Information Ministery announced the approved (of course by the HIM) information that signups for the University are no longer possible ~~due to our embargo~~

But you are warmly welcomed by the glorious human hive! Join today and get two wonderful "I love Yang"-T-shirts for free. They are available in all sizes and colours (L and blue

).

Probably the above post doesn´t correspond to reality

Welcome Comrade Haon, we could use a new People's Minister of Industry and Development, I'm certain you'll be perfect for the post. Be sure to join the private forums if you already haven't applied to do so (I'll approve you as soon as I can get the damn function working, stupid good for nothing University computers

).

Octavian X · May 16, 2003, 18:31

I'll go Hive, seeing as it is the largest team, and can probably afford having a member without Alien crossfire. Besides, I don't feel like thinking freely for a while...

Atlantian · May 16, 2003, 19:24

Hello, I'm new to the Forum.
I have been searching for a way to play SMAC online for a long time now and had given up a month before. Came upon this site by pure accident. Joined on the spot. Now I am looking to join a team. I do not have Alien Crossfire (I'm broke

).
I am asking to become part of the Nautilus Pirates.

The Party and People of the Human Hive welcome you Comrade Octavian. You will be a great asset in our revolutionary struggle towards socialism.

Hercules · May 16, 2003, 19:42

Atlantian. with a name like that how could you be anything else.

Welcome aboard. Collect your parrot or reserve designer parrot and eye patch on entry. Also collect this month's incentive of a keg of XenoRum

Go to the Peace faction, up right and as soon as I can I 'll authorise your membership.

Re: getting Alien Crossfire, yes it used to be easy to get inexpensively from Game shops but now seems to have become more difficult.

Anyhow the basic concepts remain the same and any of us Pirates will be happy to help out.

Nubclear · May 17, 2003, 02:13

I NOW RENOUNCE MY MEMBERSHIP OF THE UNIVERSITY AND JOIN THE HUMAN HIVE!!!!!!!

LONG LIVE THE HIVE!!!

GeneralTacticus · May 17, 2003, 02:17

I wish to protest Tassadar's action. He has seen our private forum and knows what we're currently planning, and in order to avoid having this seep into the Hive forum it would be encessary for him to effectively muzzle himself, which I don't expect him to do. It would be no mroe fair to allow Tass to switch teams with what he knows than it would be for the Hive to read the UoP private forums, or vice versa.

And I shall do that. Let Googlie monitor me if you are unsure

Archaic · May 17, 2003, 02:21

And you can easily muzzle yourself in the forums while saying it all in IM's and PM's, as you very well know.

Voltaire · May 17, 2003, 02:26

There are no official provisions that state a player cannot defect, in fact it adds an interesting element to the game by forcing a faction to possibly change its plans, etc.

Voltaire · May 17, 2003, 02:28

And as pointed out in the discussion about cheating, we ultimately must rely on the honesty of the players.

Anyone could easily do that while signed up to a faction.

I suppose you will simply have to trust me, for I give you my word that I will speak nothing of the knowledge I know of the University plans. (What little I know of them, anyway)

GeneralTacticus · May 17, 2003, 02:29

There were no official provisions because the issue was never resolved - and you should remember that I raised precisely this issue when the subject was first brought up. And I do not consider it in any way fair to force a faction to assume that everything they've done is now known to another team because a player decided to switch sides.

However, yet still there were no official provisions. It is irrelevant as to whether they were solved or not. One cannot say that something is illegal simply because it was never resolved, for it remains illegal until declared illegal.

And you need not assume anything, for again I will not reveal University intelligence to the Hive. And yet again, it is just as easy for someone to go into a faction and begin sending PMs or IMs to another faction without detection. Ultimately everyone will have to be trusted, and I've been here long enough so that I do care about my reputation and I will NOT reveal anything to the Hive as it would have negative consequences.
