It's the Colony News!

Making our first appearence since the House Wars, this is your channel for all the news fit for you!

Market Booming! : It is a prosperous time in Sirius, with prices falling and resources abundant! Piracy is fairly quiet in the houses, and everywhere business is being done! For the last fifty years since the Bretonian Wars, everything has been wonderful for us. Now, the markets have reached record highs, and every mouth is being well-fed. How long will the good times last? Well, our anylists state that they could last a long time, provided no major disasters or wars occur. Whether or not that happens is up to the fates and the politicians, not a good combo.

Corsairs in Sigma-13? : Factions have reported sightings of large groups of Corsairs in Sigma-13. Contact with Gas Miner Naha has been lost. We will keep you up to date as the story progresses.

That's all for now!

This is the colony news, signing off from New London!

Sorry to butt in...this is the first time I've looked at this Control Your Own Faction game and it definitely looks cool...although it's a bit over my head...
Just from reading what has been posted so far I'm a bit confused but hopefully my little brain will pick up what's happening here as you continue to play.

Anyway I just wanted to say this looks real interesting and I will try to make the time to read each days events as they unfold...
Sorry for the interruption
Have a blast...

I've edited my post to fix some mistakes

Post Mon Mar 28, 2005 7:14 pm

Yay, Roc posted! Which means that I don't have to do his post for him!

And yeah, Bakedpotato, you can join if you feel like it. If you want, just pick a faction and tell us, and then we can help you out on learning the rules over MSN or email. We've had people as young as eleven and twelve play before, and they picked up on it pretty easily, so it should be no problem for you. Or, you can just watch and, as DSQrn said, write the Colony News, which would probably be better than having me do it since I am always so tempted to record my own exploits all the time. But we'd love to have you around to play or help, BP!

You should maybe blitz Shinagawa Station and use your creds, Fang. This is your big chanve to even the scales a bit. If you wait too long you'll find that you won't be able to keep up with the larger factions at all. And, if we are to have an economic union I'd like to see you make the most of it.

Edit: I'm adding you to my MSN contacts (I'm [email protected])

@Liberty If none of our current affilations stop this then i accept your offer of alliance

Post Tue Mar 29, 2005 3:25 am

@Rheinland

ok, peace and harmony to everyone!

@Wilde

Who are you attacking? (you can't attack a faction for another 2 turns)

Post Tue Mar 29, 2005 4:24 am

@King Roc of Bretonia - I would sign a alliance with bretonia under the condition that i get building rights in the dublin sector. I also wish that you make no move to stop any expansion i make out of the dublin system. ( its a little crap with not much gas )
@Wilde I have added you to my msn list.
