Official: CyCon negotiations - Page 15

Anything going on with the CPU with regard to PUT surrendering yet?

Snowflake · April 6, 2004, 15:24

Ok I got impatient so I shot them a non official proposal.

If we do this then we can concentrate on the DataAngels front.

The Ambassador have quite a lot work to do though, if we are interested in this route. Including communication with the Drones, arrangement for the PUT and such.

Voltaire · April 6, 2004, 21:28

I'll send them one right now.

Quote:

The People of the Human Hive wish to bring an end to aggressions between ourselves and the University. We desire that hostilities between our two factions come to an end. We, alongside our Comrades the Drones, have liberated the peoples of the University, but we believe in the principle of self-determination, so we offer the government of the University the opportunity to surrender. If the government of the University surrenders to the Human Hive and signs a pact of non-aggression and friendship, becoming a Friend and Ally of the Human Hive, we will allow them to continue to exist as independent international sovereign entities within the greater Communist Interfactional [COMINFAC]. If the government of the University does not see it fit to do what it is the best interests of its peoples, the Human Hive will have no choice but to depose the government of the University and establish a People’s Republic in place of the former capitalist regime. The Human Hive is open to negotiations about the conditions of surrender, but if the University government chooses not to we will be forced to act.

The response should be interesting...

Frankychan · April 7, 2004, 05:50

Comrade Chairman!

We should just destroy the Planet University of Technology! Letting them survive will only allow them to regroup their forces. We should squash them and be done with them.

However, if this is the will of the Chairman, I will not oppose it. My concern is the relative safety of the Hive if PUT continues to exist.

PM from GeoModder

Quote:

University surrender:

Members of the Central Continuing Committee of the Human Hive.

The Planetary University of Technology acknowledges hereby it's military defeat against the combined forces of the Human Hive and the Drones. As a consequence of this the Planetary University of Technology is willing to break the links with it's Cybernetic Consciousness Unification partner, meaning that no military backup or transfer of info and energy will be received anymore, nor sent. As stated when the Unification found place, the Planetary University of Technology is allowed to go it's own way whenever it's citizens see fit. This time seems to have come now.

In light of this the Planetary University of Technology asks the terms of surrender of the Human Hive, as well asks if a surrender to the Human Hive automatically means surrender to the Drones as well, so that our last city wouldn't fall because of bad military communications between the Hive-Drone alliance.

Also, the Caboolture City Council wishes to make clear that no heavy assault troops will be trained as long as the status of the Planetary University of Technology isn't clear, thus in essence as long as the surrender talks are in progress.

I've posted the above message at Drones' embassy. Upon Drones confirmation I propose to send them a message like the following:

Quote:

Caboolture City Council of the Planetary University of Technology

The Human Hive commends your actions of conceding and joining the fight to liberate Chiron cybernetic plague. We have obtained confirmation from the Drones that Caboolture will not be attacked as long as it does not in any way violates the terms of its surrender. The Hive/Drones alliance request the PUT end its affiliation/pact/joint-ness with the CyCon/CPU. Caboolture must not be controled by anybody who is in anyway affliated with the CyCons. Caboolture must not be used in any way to aid the CyCons in its military actions. The PUT must not produce assault troops. The Human Hive will provide military forces for PUT's protection.

Central Continuing Committee of the Human Hive

The above is a draft. I would appreciate reminders about anything that I forgot to address.

Sounds good but please add -
The surrender will be to the Hive/Drone alliance (ie: both)
In the case of a planetary council vote, PUT will vote according to the recommendations of the Hive/Drone alliance.
PUT should cease all hostilities towards peace.

Voltaire · April 8, 2004, 17:27

Curses, you got to it before me.

Snowflake · April 8, 2004, 17:32

But I have saved the honor of notifying them for you dear Chairman.

Snowflake · April 8, 2004, 17:44

Oh and don't forget the PM should be sent to obstructor and GeoModder.

Voltaire · April 8, 2004, 18:03

Do we want access to the University forums now? We have to also ensure that all the CyCon members are expelled from the Uni forums.

Snowflake · April 8, 2004, 18:06

We had some talks in the public forum (status of the game thread I think). I suggested that we would be playing the uni turn. But it is a good idea for us to be able to access the uni forum and deassociate CCs and PUT forums and members. I suggest we let the PUT members who would like to stay with the CCs stay though. Just they cannot be in two forums any more.

Fair enough, I'll send the PM response now.

This just came in from GeoModder:

What are our terms (assuming we have them)?

Snowflake · April 8, 2004, 23:24

Arnelos, we had some discussion in this thread just before your posts.

Arnelos · April 9, 2004, 02:00

ok

Snowflake · April 9, 2004, 10:13

So did we send any official message? What did we send?

We sent what you composed with minor modifications to take into account Buster's suggestions.

Can you copy it here Chairman?

Hopefully I still have it, let me check.

Voltaire · April 9, 2004, 17:56

Sorry forgot to save it.

But it was just the one you wrote with a line or two at the end.

Snowflake · April 9, 2004, 17:57

No problem.

Just thought that I'd try to keep everything recorded.

Arnelos · April 10, 2004, 02:13

Sounds good, then. My apologies again on not being around for that.

Voltaire · April 10, 2004, 05:30

Reply from the University:

Quote:

The Caboolture City Council has received the harsh demands the Central Continuing Committee of the Human Hive put forward.
Although PUT is forced to acknowledge the defeat, it does not mean that it should suddenly turn against it's longterm ally the CyCon by fighting them. Nor is PUT in any condition to fight a war with whomever. We hope that the Hive/Drone alliance can offer the same clementie as CPU once offered PEACE, as in becoming a small neutral state with no submission to anyone. To ensure the continuing survival of our city, good relations should be maintained with all warring factions in this part of the planet, as that nor the Hive/Drone alliance, nor the Cybernetic Consciousness will 'accidently' or 'strategically' make use of Caboolture.
We await the Committees response on this.

-Caboolture City Council of the Planetary University of Technology

Voltaire · April 10, 2004, 05:35

I see no reason to accept their proposal. We did not perhaps make it clear enough that the message we sent was not so much an offer as an ultimatum. We can go so far as to nor require any military obligations on their part [which we were not intending to do so anyway] but the remaining University should come under the joint jurisdiction of the Human Hive and Free Drones. The CyCon may be trying to get us to give into their proposals because if we do if gives them the chance to use the University as a means by which to get infiltration data on us. We’ll formulate an official response tomorrow, right now I must get to sleep. Good night all.

Snowflake · April 10, 2004, 12:13

We said surrender or be eliminated. They are in no position to negotiate. I say we ask tass to order an replay of the PUT turn. Since they have decided not to surrender, they need to self destruct.

Indeed, I will tell Tass right now.
