IMPORTANT: Drone Permipact

Voltaire · September 14, 2003, 02:31

The Drones recently indicated that they consider our two factions to be in permipact, the only thing left is to formalize this pact of ours. While we are awaiting the final decision from the Drones, we ask once again that the Hive approve the permipact with the Drones.

The government is technically authorized to go ahead with the permipact due to the poll about it earlier during the game, but minds may have changed on the issue, therefore we present the question once again.

Should the Hive enter into a permipact with the Drones?

You have 7 days from today to vote.

-Chairman Voltaire

Drones have chosen a good time for asking this. They know very well that we will be meeting with CC soon.

Kody · September 14, 2003, 08:05

They didn't ask, we asked.

We're not meeting the CC anytime soon unfortunately.

Snowflake · September 14, 2003, 08:28

Well I guess my just woke up brain doesn't work as well.

Ok let me change to say they have chosen a good time for deciding this. We have asked many times haven't we?

As for not meeting with CyCon, I guess the PEACE are not ready to give up their advantage yet. Which is not surprising.

Kody · September 14, 2003, 08:33

The peace wasted 70 hours of our time to tell us NO to our trade offers.

At least the Drones said yes after making us wait.

The planet-wide spread of the Revolution is the highest aim of truly enlightened mankind. Since we are the only faction representing that elite, we shall do whatever may give us advantages in order to achieve our goals!

The Drones - our closest relatives on planet, so to say, deserve to be part of the glorious Communist Revolution Pact (CommRePa).

Yes to the fusion of our two factions, yes to our brothers!

Together in Industry! For the Chairman! For the Hive!

The Drones remain our best and most valuable ally, for the sole reason that our two factions have cooperated well. We cannot trust the others to do likewise. IMO the other factions will pursue a more Machiavellian foreign policy, and hence we would not be able to trust them as much as we can trust the Drones.

When the permipact has been formalized, we should seek to synchronize our foreign policies, but that I mean if the other factions desire Machiavellian politics, we should also pursue such politics with the other factions.

One other question that I need to bring up: do we keep the permipact secret? It may well server our alliance if we were to keep it undisclosed since then other factions would be more willing to cooperate with us. If the CyCon were aware of the permipact, I doubt they would be as willing to pact with our faction.

Vander · September 14, 2003, 16:45

Well said, Chairman. I also think that the pact should be a much on the DL as we can have it.

Micha · September 14, 2003, 17:04

Won´t the pirates find out as soon as they probe us?
I mean they surely will open an "embassy" in our faction, and if a SECRET pact is then discovered, wouldn´t that make us look... suspicious...?

Just a thought, though

Kody · September 14, 2003, 19:48

We're going to put down some fairly strong probe defences.

EZRhino · September 14, 2003, 20:49

The drones will have to do the same if this is to stay a 'secret' pact.

Octavian X · September 14, 2003, 22:57

Comrade Voltaire, are you feeling ok?

What kind of option would we write in? Any why hasn't the CCC decided this matter for us?

All kidding aside, we should go ahead with it. We want to have at least one ally in this game.

Micha · September 15, 2003, 08:12

Not an ally... a brother!

Kody · September 15, 2003, 08:13

Together in brotherhood we'll guard each other's back.

Snowflake · September 15, 2003, 10:05

They may have already suspected that the Drones and us have some kind of relationship. They probably are suspecting that it is a pact, but probably don't know that it is gonna be a perm pact.

So we should keep it secret as long as we could. Let them be in that suspecting but not knowing for sure state.

Kody · September 15, 2003, 10:09

Yup Yup,
Honghu has exactly the same idea as me.

Snowflake · September 15, 2003, 11:16

You know it is such a delightful feeling when you see you're on the same page as dear Comrade Kody.

Findst Du mich wieder lustig, alter Kumpel? Es war nicht gerade meine Absicht, aber...

"Brudershaft"

Gosh with a blend of German and English that makes an
interesting word.

Sworn brothers in oath?

Ich lache MIT DIR, nicht über dich...

Ist ja nur Spaß

It´s great to have English people speaking German, for it sounds very funny

And after almost 10 months of posts written by myself using "manufactured English" it´s quite refreshing to read other people´s tries to perform in a foreign language
