It's all good as long as we maintain a balance between pirates winning and pirates losing.

Come to think of it, the theft of Sirocco counts as a pretty big "pirates winning," not so?

I mostly have them as an excuse to have Bees doing Bee things and people reacting. The fact it's pirates is just, well, Bee threat responses are... Bees. So many Bees.

It's cool.

Unfortunately we're in a lull; I'm not sure if all our normal regulars are watching (White Haven, you there? Shinn? Darkevilme?). And some of the others have been very quiet too (Rabid? Fenreer?)...

bleh.

...I'm still here...

I do see what you mean though...I would hate to see the game be stillborn after all that work going into it. Hopefully its just the board problems making them leery of logging on...

Simon_Jester · Post by **Simon_Jester** » 2012-06-13 06:02pm

Some of them are showing up semi-regularly; you can check "last logged on" times in user profiles. But I don't know what they're saying or doing, and sending volleys of PMs to them would feel weird.

Although if you have anything invested in this game, guys, please don't just sit there waiting for nothing to happen. At least comment in OOC so we know you're around and we can actually talk and think and plan with you.

Well, I've been inactive because I made the mistake of planning out a prologue.... but not a "first post." Combined with my general lack of inspiration I've been at a loss for what to write.

That said I'm willing to do a cooperative post or storyline with anyone who would like. Since until I can figure out something I'll be more or less just watching.

Skywalker_T-65 · Post by **Skywalker_T-65** » 2012-06-13 06:37pm

I've always been open to cooperative posts with anyone who wants one. Not sure how an Arcadian/Cernan thing would go though.

Watching, but not really motivated to actually do much about anything in the game due to more pressing concerns in real life.

Simon_Jester · Post by **Simon_Jester** » 2012-06-13 06:49pm

Sigh. Well, keep in touch and hopefully things will straighten out.

Imperial528, I've got Eleventh Century Remnant's von Neumann machines poking around your coreward border all sneaky-like, because of the way the darts-at-map approach went. While I might change the map, I think this would actually be a great opportunity for you to get involved in the game. Brush up on your stuff and get together with him about it, OK?

KlavoHunter · Post by **KlavoHunter** » 2012-06-13 07:19pm

First story post up! Lacks shooting or even music, but a little peek inside.

OmegaChief · Post by **OmegaChief** » 2012-06-13 07:28pm

While I'm working on my stuff here, I'll also put out that I'm always up for a bit of collaberative fiction with whoever, and when I do get this first story post finished there'll be a lot of room and encouragment for them too!

Darkevilme · Post by **Darkevilme** » 2012-06-13 08:00pm

Angry turks or some such? On MY border?
Oh my..

Esquire · Post by **Esquire** » 2012-06-13 08:02pm

I think the Klavostanis and I shall get along swimmingly.

Skywalker_T-65 · Post by **Skywalker_T-65** » 2012-06-13 08:04pm

Well you've got Space Turks and Space Greeks on either side of you...make them fight each other? Hey, it could work.

(Plus you've got Space Swedes backing you up...not that you really need the help)

EDIT: Ninja'ed...but hey, if Esquire and Klavo can get over the Greek/Turk hatred, then yes, Dark may need the help.

Simon_Jester · Post by **Simon_Jester** » 2012-06-13 08:11pm

I like the Greco-Turkish rivalry angle. That would be good to play up.

KlavoHunter · Post by **KlavoHunter** » 2012-06-13 08:19pm

To survive the Chamarrans... we must become... Frienemies!

Skywalker_T-65 · Post by **Skywalker_T-65** » 2012-06-13 08:21pm

Well, you can be Frienemies and still pull off a Greco-Turkish rivalry...in SPAAACE.

I agree with Simon by the way...that could be truly hilarious.

Shinn Langley Soryu · Post by **Shinn Langley Soryu** » 2012-06-13 08:27pm

We need a Space Cyprus of some sort to add another wrinkle to the rivalry between the Hellenes and the Klavostanis. Depending on how you want to work things, Makay could easily be it.

Esquire · Post by **Esquire** » 2012-06-13 08:36pm

Particularly if both of us absorbed some Makay refugees - there could be multiple governments-in-exile, all sorts of fun.

Skywalker_T-65 · Post by **Skywalker_T-65** » 2012-06-13 08:39pm

Man, that chunk of the map is going to be having some real fun soon. Glad I'm on the opposite side of the map now...

(oh wait, I'm next to the Imperium, and the Grays...I stand corrected...)

Simon_Jester · Post by **Simon_Jester** » 2012-06-13 08:59pm

I don't know how much of a problem Zor will be. Depends on whether you keep his interest or not.

Hm. Is there anything I should know about those extra-dimensional entities, D? My PM box is nearly always open.

Skywalker_T-65 · Post by **Skywalker_T-65** » 2012-06-13 09:03pm

Speaking of extra-dimensional entites...hmm...I've already lifted the Furlings, why not the Ancients? Nah...that would throw every human history thing out the window now that I think about it...

Simon_Jester · Post by **Simon_Jester** » 2012-06-13 09:08pm

Ancients?

Skywalker_T-65 · Post by **Skywalker_T-65** » 2012-06-13 09:10pm

Stargate...the big guys who are ascended (aka, Gods in all but name).

EDIT: They also happen to be the source of the Human Race in Stargate, hence throwing history out the window. Though it would be interesting to see the Gray's reaction to that. But they might be a wee bit too powerful for this, considering they absolutley can mess around with stars and other such stellar bodies. Though if they were directly lifted from Stargate they wouldn't interfere.

And that got real long winded there...

Simon_Jester · Post by **Simon_Jester** » 2012-06-13 10:20pm

I need time to chew that over; remind me about your higher-life-form ideas later.
