Control Your Own Faction: Part 5- The Redemption: Game Threa

Wed Mar 30, 2005 5:00 am by Codename

Wilde - Sorry, man.

Wilde blitzed Ogashawa - 3 - Failure
Douglas and Rugen are both hidden.

The base search I'll deal with when more people have posted.

And, for the record, Hobbie's blitz was legal. You simply need forces in the system. And the planet didn't explode either.

Diplomacy

Message to The Creator, of Liberty

Many thanks for your will to protect our bases against Xenos. We are also moving some of our fighters to both Galileo and Hudson Systems.

Message to Shogun Bret, of Kusari

Thanks for your accepting of our friendship. We will also estabilish an outpost onboard Shinagawa Station soon. (OOC: I wanted Roppongi, but Samura got it first...) There you can contact our representatives for any demand of bases, Jump Gates or Trade Lanes to be build within your systems.
Also, the construction of Chugoku Jump Gate is getting close to the end. After finishing, the Jump Gate will be given to your control. Current explorations show great quantities of both Gas and Metal supplies there.

Message to DSQrn, of Rheinland

We are asking for a permission to estabilish an outpost onboard Bonn Station. There you will be able to contact our representatives for any demand of bases, Jump Gates or Trade Lanes to be build within your systems. We are also inviting you to form a Coalition with us.

Message to Shasla, of Orbital Spa and Cruise Lines

We are accepting your trade offer. Transports with Metal supplies are alerady en-route. As soon as we will be able to spare enough resources, the construction of Salvador Station will begin.

Message to Chessalavakia, of Xenos

We have spotted your increased movements within Hudson System. Be warned - even if we are not one of the major faction, we still have a fleet of our own. We do not want to start any conflict with you, but any Xeno ship nearing any of our station, particulary Providence Station with hostile intentions, will be dealt with.

Faction News

Xenos in Hudson

Over a period of several weeks, more and more Xeno ships have been spotted in Hudson system. Xenos activity has risen greatly after the completion of the Providence Station on orbit over Planet Atka.
Workers aboard station do not need to fear, because DSE leaders are aware of this fact, and right now the patrols in Hudson and Galileo systems are increasing. Liberty Goverment also proposed to help in the case that Xenos had hostile intentions and/or attacked any of our bases.

DSE is expanding

Yes it is true. Deep Space Engoneering has built two new bases in last months, and the corporation is going to become spread throughout all of Sirius. New outposts of DSE are being estabilished in all major Houses - the Bretonia, the Kusari and the Rheinland. Due to this, new job positions are opened, including:

Architect, specialization Space Stations
Engineer
Fighter/Heavy Fighter Pilot
Marketing Manager
Scientist, Research Worker
Transport Pilot

For more informations contact your nearest DSE representative.

OOC Wilde:

Blitz attempts: Gas Miner Ogashawa (14), Douglas Station (11), Rugen station (11)

From Rules:

Another action that is considered to be a battle is diplomatic blitzing. A diplomatic blitz is an action where you try to convince an NPC base to join your faction. This action can only be done to NPC factions, and only to bases in systems where you have units and/or bases. It may also only be done one time per turn.

Please edit your turn.

And to all: I think that base's position is important when you attack someone, so please post positions (at least coords, exact location would be better) of the bases you have. If I am wrong, then nevermind...

Wed Mar 30, 2005 5:23 am by Codename

LE - You're researching Improved Labs again? Why?
And don't worry about Wilde, he can't blitz those other bases anyway as they're hidden.
Base position is unimportant. It may be a good idea to specify where your ships are (which base) otherwise I suppose we'll just assume an even distribution.

Edit: Ignore the first question. I think I understand, you're trying now to get a permanent +4 Research modifier? Makes sense, though I'm not sure whether it's actually allowed or not. We'll have to ask Jacob when he comes along.

Edited by - Codename on 3/30/2005 6:32:25 AM

Wed Mar 30, 2005 5:35 am by Lord Emperor

I have alerady discussed this with Jacob on e-mail, each next level of Labs gives you an additional +2 to chance of success, up to 15/20 chance max.

By the positions I mean that for example if someone enters for example Honshu from Sig-19 via JG, he will get immediatelly attacked by ships at Aomori Station. So he has to deal with them first if he wants to take Planet Honshu.

Wed Mar 30, 2005 5:39 am by Codename

Okay. Fair enough on the Labs front. In fact, I think I'll take a page from your book.

As far as position goes... well, people can go *around* obstacles and such. Also most "invasion" fleets aren't going after just one base when they come in, they go after everything in the system. But your point stands. I'll let Jacob make the official ruling.

Our ties have long been a secret, one which will remain. We stop all persecution of your operatives if you sign an alliance with the Shogun. He asks for nothing in return apart from your co-operation in helping Kusari, along with Samura, become a dominant force in Sirius.

***Kusari Colony News Service***

Economic Union Signed with Samura Industries

In a move that is sure to please the fine people of Kusari, our wonderful Shogun has put pen to paper on a lucrative deal with Kusari based corporation Samura Heavy Industries.

Earlier today the Shogun was reported to be delighted to have signed the treaty with the highly respected CEO of Samura, Codename. The two men were said to exstatic that they were able to see eye to eye on all matters regarding our portion of Sirius.

We believe that this treaty will further strengthen Kusari interests, which include all corporations under the Kusari banner, throughout Sirius.

IMG OFFICIAL NOTICE:
(TO ALL SIRIAN FACTIONS)

As of today, the IMG is making an official price for any trade of resources. Any resources purchased from the IMG may be purchased at the price of either 1 resource for 3 credits, or 3 resources for 5 of a different resource. Any current trades will not be affected by this. So, if factions want resources from us, you must pay us our price.

We reserve the right to negotiate any and all prices.

Signed,

Jacob III, Guildmaster of Independant Miner's Guild

The Colony News!

The Kusari Union? : In the last few days, a series of pacts and agreements have been signed by most of the Kusari factions. Now, much of Kusari is under the Samura-led Ecomomic Union, and those in other houses are wondering about this. Shogun Bret and CEO Codename both met earlier today and agreed to another ecomonic union. That means that the current union in Kusari includes the house itself, Samura, the Hogosha, and Kishiro. What can come of this? More later about the Kusari Ecomonics.

IMG Raising Prices? : Today, Guildmaster Jacob of the IMG released a notice to all factions that he was establishing a price for all resource trading. This is obviously a response to the dozens of trade offers he has recieved, since the IMG is an eagle among pidgeons in that they are incredibly rich in mineral resources, and are the only faction with such vast stockpiles. The Guildmaster commented that the notice was to, "Make the other factions aware that we are not to be taken advantage of for our resources. They will either pay us our fair price or find another dealer, and there is no one else with our amounts of resources."

Sigma Troubles : The rumors have been proved true. In a stunning move last week, the Corsairs advanced into Sigmas 13 and 19 and took over the systems. They have now turned control over to Rheinland, and the IMG and Zoners have been given charters to construct bases in the system.

Liberty Struggling With Pirates? : Liberty has imposed a new policy on its piracy troubles, and it hasn't been very successful. Elusive groups like the Xenos, Hackers, Rogues, and Outcasts still are very active in both Liberty and the Independant Worlds, and the other houses have been jumping on Liberty to fix the problem. President Creator has started massive hunts for pirates and pirate bases, but it might be causing Liberty to fall behind both in income and military. As of yet, the organized crime elements in Liberty have been successful, but that all could change easily. At this point no one, be they pirates or policemen, sleeps well in Liberty.

That's all for this addition of the Colony News!
Tune in next time for the station that brings you the news faster!

Over and out from New London!

Whoa, I'm really sorry everyone, but I have been really busy with school, and I won't be able to play this game for a while. I'll come back when I can, and maye post something every now and then, but until I get caught up at school I need to turn my faction over to ww2jacob. Sorry again everyone.

ww2jacob, you can do whatever with the Zoners, just don't get them totally killed!

Bye for now everyone!

Wed Mar 30, 2005 10:09 am by ww2jacob

Wow, thanks Dagger_Ace!

I don't know what to say!

Lucky me?

Well, if you don't mind, I'll just absorb the Zoners into the IMG, so for now, everyone, the Zoners are officially a part of the IMG, and I'll treat the different money and bonuses and stuff like they were seperate.

And I'll return everything when you get back, don't worry.
