Rubinic Report, M.Y. 2183:
The Global Trade Pact resolution has been passed in the council. The effects of this resultion come just in time for the increased energy output of the major solar flare activity on Alpha Prime. CEO Rubin is thrilled by these current events.
Colonel Santiago, however, has occupied important Rubinic resources. So far, Santiago has refused to remove her units. Additional military units have been dispatched in order to protect Rubinic citizens from the threat of the Spartan forces and the pending threat of nutrient shortage.

*Public Announcement, M.Y. 2183*
Brother Lal of the Peacekeepers has authorized a secret project, codenamed the Citizens Defense Force.

End of Report

Turn passed to Lord Chip of the Gaians.

Turn to HongHu.

I entered the wrong password several times this turn, before it occurred to me that it was the wrong password. After the third time, the game kicked me out. I remembered what I was doing and got it right the next time. I suspect you'll get a double-load message from me.

I'm a boy scout leader this weekend. I'll be out Friday and Saturday evening. I'll need a turn early Friday, if I am to play.

Rubinic Report, M.Y. 2184:
Again, Colonel Santiago refused to respond to Rubinic diplomatic efforts. Rumor has it that CEO Rubin now intend to remove the spartan units by force. Patience is running low on both sides.

*Public Announcement, M.Y. 2184*
Sister Miriam convened the Planetary Council! Agenda: Repeal U.N. Charter. Sister Miriam and Colonel Santiago both voted YEA. CEO Rubin joined Brother Lal in voting NAY.

Rubinic Report, M.Y. 2185:
The current global situation is critical. The initial hostility of Brother Lal declaring vendetta upon the Hive has had dangerous consequences. The Lord's Believers and the Spartan Federation joined the Peacekeepers in the war against Chairman HongHu, forming a global alliance: The Peacekeeper Alliance.

It is unclear whether the Peacekeepers have been able to direct the Spartans or if Colonel Santiago initiated her own war upon the University which has now been drawn into the global conflict. During these events the Peacekeeper Alliance has been terrorizing all factions on Chiron. It seems if only a small possibility remains open before the Peacekeeper Alliance's warmongering escalates to total global war!

In order to talk some reason into Brother Lal, our Planetary Governor, CEO Rubin has personally embarked on a risky journey to U.N. Headquarters. CEO Rubin explains: This conflict may soon land on Rubinic territory. Sister Miriam and Colonel Santiago have no respect for our borders. The mastermind behind the advancement of the war-inclined Ladies' battlefleets, the now infamous Brother Lal I expect, need to reconsider this pointless aggression. Hence, I shall try to convince Brother Lal to cease all fire and eventually withdraw from the conflict. And I shall do so in person. Not only the Rubinites are in danger of invasion... This concerns all factions on Chiron!

The fact that the Peacekeepers actively prevented the council resolution to Repeal the U.N. Charter indicates that there may be hope for peace. However, the current build-up of military units all around the globe is alarming. Also, until the safe return of CEO Rubin Counsellor Kai of the New Chiron Party is acting spokesman of the Rubinites. The counsellor is best known for his political influence leading to the Rubinic change from Free Market economy to the more appealing Green economy -- preserving the ecology of Chiron.

Finally, during M.Y. 2185 it became clear to the Rubinites that Provost Gufnork had completed the Cyborg Factory during the last couple of years. Congratulations to the Provost.
End of Report

Turn passed to Lord Chip of the Gaians.

Today is a sad day indeed. Today, the Peacekeepers brought genocide upon themselves. Brother Lal is supposed to be an example to this world, being Planetary Governor. Yet he decided to declare vendetta upon my peaceful faction which has yet to do anything but defend itself. The probable reason for this is a debt he has to me since the early days on planet which he doesn't like repaying.

Bringing war to this world out of greed was not something that I expected Brother Lal to do. I'm afraid we have no choice but to eliminate this abomination from the face of the planet. You have shown you cannot be trusted, now you'll have to face the consequences.

We are willing to accept any refugees willing to aid us in our quest for knowledge and peace, we promise to protect you from your tyrannical faction leader. You'll become full members of the University, subject to and protected by the same laws and regulations and thus be spared. We also urge other factions to do the same, we wish that as many as possible can be saved from this destruction.

Provost Gufnork, Representative for the University of Planet.

Boys, I'm sorry to say that the next couple months I foresee that I'm going to be very busy. In other words I could perhaps only do one or two turns per week. Would you guys like me to find a replacement so that the game could run at a normal speed?

Once again, Santiago moved up to a base and demanded that I declare a vendetta against Gufnork. I did so--to buy peace--and the Hive's AI joined Gufnork against me. I'll get a broadcast out shortly, but wanted you to know immediately what had happened.

With regard to the HongHu problem ...

I would, of course, like to maintain the current pace, but also want to keep HongHu in the game. Because there may come a time when I am away from a computer for a week or two, I want to be flexible with HongHu.

Why don't we try to play three or four turns according to HongHu's schedule and see how it works? If she can play twelve turns in a month (I'm thinking about three turns a week), I would vote to keep things as they are. If she cannot play at that pace, how about a "Russian Revolution"? We ask HongHu to turn on the governors in her bases and ask Darsnan to take such actions as are necessary to defend Hive territory. At the end of twenty years, if HongHu's schedule permits her to play full-time, we welcome her back. If she doesn't think she can play, we look for a replacement, with Darsnan continuing to act as a caretaker until we find one.

That way (1) we stay active, (2) the Hive doesn't become an easy target for one of us and (3) we don't risk an immediate major diplomatic change from the introduction of a new player.

Will that work? HongHu, can you average three turns a week?

I'm sure I can play at least two turns a week until Dec 2 (a deadline) and maybe able to play more after that. I really would like to avoid to let my governors manage things. It's not that I can do any better, it's just I don't trust them. I've also quit from the ACDG. Hopefully I will be able to get back on feet soon but if this is not acceptable I would prefer to find a human replacement.

Rubinic Report, M.Y. 2190
Three reports this year:
Firstly, Jeneba reports: Hercules (Alpha Centauri B) is approaching perihelion! For the next 20 years, we expect native life activity to increase dramatically.
Counsellor Kai is somewhat worried that the expected increase in native life may be harmful to Rubinic settlements; although considerable ecological initiatives have been put into effect.
Secondly, Counsellor Kai is happy to announce that a status report has been published. The 9th Decade Report has been included below.
Thirdly, Rubinic intelligence reports that wars are raging across Chiron. Recently, the Gaians have been drawn into the conflict. It seems Chiron has become an even more hostile place after almost a hundred years of human presence. There's been no reports from the CEO, but Counsellor Kai hopes that Rubinic diplomatic negotiations are able to present a peaceful solution to the current conflicts.
End of Report

Turn passed to Lord Chip.

Note: I suddenly had a Foil in one of my inland bases. Is this supposed to be possible? I don't know what happened. Oh well, maybe some sort of bug. Could happen to all of us.

Rubinic Report, M.Y. 2191:
Once again the Rubintes have been threatened by the Peacekeeper Alliance. The Rubinic diplomatic expedition has returned and CEO Rubin had no good news concerning the diplomatic negotiations. Brother Lal refused to discuss the situation any further. Instead, the Rubinites have been drawn into these pointless vendettas. CEO Rubin is sad to announce that no human faction on Chiron is without any vendettas.

*Public Announcement, M.Y. 2191*
The Peacekeeper secret project, The Citizens' Defense Force, has been cancelled. The Peacekeepers are now redirecting their efforts toward a new goal, The Planetary Datalinks.
