No. The Human Confederation territory has had sufficient time to severly cut into Pirate territory.

Well, I don't. I thought U were a pirate originally.

Yes, KK has cleared that up with his funny comment about aliens being "overgrown hermit crab thingees"

Though your pirate friends might disagree with you on that one, yes. We is definitly more advanced (get it, "is"? Never mind. bad joke).

BTW, Lord Asriel, I've got a question regarding your screenname. Does it have anything to do with the His Dark Materials series? 'Cause if it does I give my faithful alegiance to you as a friend. Those books RULE! I was going to make my name Lord Asriel, but since the ubb code thingy said that was already taken, I used Lyra instead.

I'm gonna put this in the context of a relevant post.

You bet it does. They are possibly the best books I've ever read. Why didn't you use Lyra Belacqua as your name? Oh, and are you with the Aliens, Dreden, or the HC?

True, that does make sense. I read your restrictions on the buster cannon. Could you give me some ResEdit damage specs for that thing? The restrictions seem pretty harsh.

Judging from the Boozerama Bar 6,that lawlessness and lack of order should suit her fine.
Sorry Lyra,I'm just having flashforwards to Spl_Cadet II...

One shot every five minutes- 300,000 Energy and Mass damage, resedit scale.

First of all, the pirates are MUCH more civilized then the Confed's and Rebels. They know that they can make a good, rich, dishonest living in irating, and at least they don't fight each other over who had dibbs on the last M+M package or whatever. They're also smart enough to take YOUR inadequecy of order and use it to there own advantage. In short: They have better a law system then you do, which is simply "No rules, JUST RIGHT!", and they have much more order. They have much more class, too. They DUEL each other for the last M+M! 😉

Good. You now have my aleigance.

Well, originally I was going to (and it's "Silvertounge" by the way, it was changed by good ole' Iorek, remember?), but I wanted to personalize it a bit, and Lyra Engel is the character from the chronicles I'm writing. However, I might change it to "Silvertoiunge" later. I like Engel better, though. that's the ONE good thing about being unregistered- you can change your name without changing your status.

See above post for answer.

Yes. spl_cadet, KK, and Asriel, the leader (I think). I am NOT a pirate.

OK, sorry, didn't see shade's new post.

Lyra, I'm assuming you are an alien. Shade is your Emperor, remember that.

I see. Yep, those restrictions work. The mods will probably have to monitor it very closely anyway.

True. However, the pirates have always had, and will always have, the weakest technology (though, admittedly, not by much right now). The HC doesn't appear to really be that far ahead of us.

Of course. Once he assasinated the old guy, He probably made us all swear alegiance to him as our almighty ruler of all and made the bloody place communist! Any way, if you look at my former posts to shade (in this topic) I show high, busnissman-reffering-to-his-boss like respect for him. However, that does not prevent me from putting his beloved Shadowcat in a burlap bag and throwing him over the Brooklyn Bridge in BB, however ;). Hey! that gives me an idea!

Alright, so the new tally is 5 Aliens, 6 Dreden, 5 HC, and 3 Pirates correct? And is Lord Asriels leader position official?

I won't like that buster cannon if it can blow a carrier apart in a single shot...

Hey, hey, let's be very delicate here. You can't just enounce that you are the fleet commander. It's a very delicate proces. Shade has to apoint you for you to qualify as anything.

Since Asriel(sorry for spelling it wrong) left. (if he did)It's only 4 for the aliens.(I think)

Alright, for the last few posts -

Asriel has not been appointed Pirate Leader, though i admit it is highly probable (in my opinion). I'll need to talk to Skyblade, this just gives me one more item on the list... hmm, could have a 6+ kb text e-mail by the time I'm done.

Lyra - You aren't the Alien fleet commander. Get this straight - you're all fleet commanders (most likely), and Shade will assign you ranks. If you kill ShadowKat too much, do not complain about your lack of rank, court martial, and summary execution that I should expect would be forthcoming.

Zen - I don't either. Rak, I want a full list of your restrictions, for possible modification... what kind of range does it have again?

RC - Lyra joined the Aliens, so there are still 5. By the time we're done though, they certainly need to outnumber the Dreden at least, to keep things somewhat fair. 3-5-6-5 (Pirate-HC-Alien-Dreden) would probably be a good mix, but we'll have to see if we get any more players first. I'm also going to start pestering Skyblade about when we're starting, I think...

------------------
- Macavenger | e-mail: (url="http://"mailto:e-gamerguy1@home.com")mailto:e-gamerguy1@home.com(/url)e-gamerguy1@home.com

Yeah, the Aliens should definitely have many players, because I doubt it will be possible for anyone to keep the Dreden and HC apart for the entire webstory, someone will find a way, especially with both Skyblade and Mac able to coordinate.

Now, the question in my mind is what would be a fair number for the pirates? If there are too few, the HC, once allied with Dreden, could simply put all its effort into crushing them, but if they are too large, and the Aliens are able to put ships against the HC in vast numbers, It may become a but chaotic. Though now that I think on it, that may be the way t go, with the Dreden fighting the Aliens, the placement of the jumpgates allows the Aliens to attack HC space without interference from Dreden, and the HC would have to put up with both them and the pirates...

Well maybe thats not too good after all. Now if I could only take a gander at an upadated version of the Milky Way Galaxy Map, that would be nice.

Just remember,as Emperor I can have you executed for treason,or sent deep into enemy territory(J/K,I wouldn't let BB spill onto this thing).

Mac already did. When I asked what alien posistions were availiable, he said that fleet commander was, and he said I could have it.

PS- Where've ye been, RC?
