Okay, so after further negotiations with Time Warner, I now
actually have stable internet. Here's a massive post dealing with administrative things, and other stuff I just felt like typing, because, you know, social interaction. :P
If I didn't address your question/issue, I haven't seen it - note that I'll address nation applications in my next post. I'll also try and PM the interested-in-joining parties and inactive players, just in case.
Oh, and
here's the map. I also stuck it in my sig, because, you know, I'm easy like that. No, wait, not like that. Um. Right.
==============================||-[Random Things]-||============\\___Sweet Mother of Mercy, NacNak, what did you
do to the forum‽ That was just... odd.
Universities/Colleges around here seem to be in finals week. So I'm not surprised about the slowing down around here, but "we're not dead yet!" All my friends are taking exams on awesome things, like programming and physics and aerodynamics and orbital mechanics, and I'm stuck not going to college at the moment because I was dumb and didn't do work and failed out. :(
But really, it's okay. I'm going to get myself an apartment and a job and maybe join the Navy, or hopefully go back to college, and I'll start re-learning math and work out, and maybe find a new boyfriend. Or girlfriend. I'm not picky. Oh, had I forgotten to mention that
Boyfriend Ex-Boyfriend and I broke up during that move? Argh.
Why am I typing this to you? Sorry about the rant, guys. Just felt like it, I suppose.
==============================||-[Our Story So Far]-||============\\___
>>> Or: Queen Raidne Writes a Tongue-In-Cheek Summary <<<In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.An ancient race of
powerful wizardsprecursors creates a great artificial intelligence. They design said AI to
grant one wishsafekeep their great knowledge, and distribute it to anyone "pure of intention". Said precursors have accumulated such a large amount of knowledge that the AI can essentially grant any wish asked of it. The
wizardsprecursors conveniently litter the galaxy with temples containing a much lesser AI to direct any future sentient race to the archive at the center of the galaxy. The precursors politely mysteriously vanish not long after.
Nothing particularly interesting happens for millions of years. This is a very long time.
In a startling development, the Septonium Concordant performs military exercises on their homeworld. Meanwhile, in Brittania, an archeological expedition comes across one of the Precursor's temples
of doom. Two of their citizenry mysteriously disappear. Advanced levels of greed is suspected.
In the TCS, the Orks are frustrated with their lack of war and bloodshed, and plan on invading two of the neighboring empires: the Damocleus Adeptus and the Kerbal Interstellar Program. Oh, and they decide to approach the core, to seize the knowledge for themselves.
The Damocleus Adeptus detect raised activity amongst their fellow empires. Of particular concern is the simultaneous development of ships capable of extraordinarily rapid travel in the Federation of Brittania and the TCS. They decide to find a temple of their own in response.
The Harlaci Imperium demonstrates its terrifying knowledge of religious principles and secret governmental conspiracies as it initiates the "Black Project Initiative", shortly after speaking to their local
wizard's constructprecursor Temple AI.
The Septonium Concordant decides to stop practising military exercises and start to go exploring, having gotten sick of listening to their fellow empire's latest "Top 40's" hits on the radio. Oh, and they continue with some military exercises.
The Kerbal Interstellar Program completely ignored a temple 150 years ago, but that's not really relevent. What is relevent is that they've got a ship that might be going in the general direction of the Septonium Concordant, if that's okay with the Septonium Concordant? I mean, I don't want to step on any toes, here. Um. Right, moving on.
So the Harlaci Imperium ended up deciding that the shrine, despite being an ancient precursor plot hook, still counts as a temple. They also decide that they should continue expanding the government conspiracy, because, hey, why not? Oh, and there's some aliens sending out Top 40's playlist radio stations, and they've got crazy ships, and maybe they should do something about that. So they send out a metric f*ckton of drones. They also "sanitize" some nearby systems of "threats".
The Septonium Concordant continues to practice drilling military exercises. They also observe some Kerbals acting like the space lemmings that they are.
The Kerbals manage to mine some fuel (somehow). The head of their space program decides that maybe ignoring the temple
in the previous post was a bad idea, and maybe they should investigate it
so that way they can join in on this whole plot thing, maybe.
The RZE does a whole lot of things. These things include: •Being Kingly •Investigating Temples •Aggressively Remodeling temples with high-tech cannons •Getting "Bad Feelings About This" •Activating Fortress Worlds •Chatting up their local AI •Assembling a Fleet with a capital "F" •Exploring
The Septonium Concordant happens to be exploring in the same system that the RZE mega-ultra-hyper-warp-jump-FTL-drives into. They ping space a couple of times, then melt into space like Homer Simpson into a bush. They also decide, after days of boredom, to just straight-up rendevouz with the KIS Jebediah.
The RZE does another lot of things. This batch includes: •Listening to pings, rather than Top 40's Radio stations •Counter-Pinging •Exploring seven different planets
The Harlaci Imperium "sanitize" some borders, after enjoying the view from their marvelous space station. They start colinization of some planets. Meanwhile, PROJECT SECRET GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY: BLACK EDITION continues. Apparently they're making a clone army on
KaminoDuranthos. Oh, and those drones have totally encountered other civilizations, maybe. Please?

|Kilo6: Yes, go ahead and make your human civilization. Oh, wait. You already-. Er. Hmm.
|MattManganon: Haha, and then I go and move houses on you. :P ...I mean, yes. You should post, you lazy, far-too-busy-for-your-own-good human being! [that was meant in humor][[I'm slightly tired]]
|Schradinger: I honestly have forgotten what you typed (see the end of MattManganon's note, above), but I think it was about applying. Go ahead and apply. I promise that I didn't forget what you wrote and then was too tired to go back and check on purpose. <3
|kabenSaal: *giggles* Ouch! Don't jab me! I'm ticklish.
|Skylar: Sure, why not. There's no player cap yet, but I think it might be beneficial to stop this influx of new nations relatively soon.
