(( Btw GWG the 2 fleet proposals are different, mine is limited to only me, the other is for everybody. Though it doesn't matter anymore since the emperor will be the one making the choice and every knows he's already won. ))I know. I only voted for the latter.
Hey GWG, that -1 you gave me helped me avoid some total BS, Thanks!*grumble angrily*
I am confirming that.ZentolOHSHI-
"Hmm, Believe I had a repeat in there. How embarrassing.""You certainly did. Hm, this current line of experimentation is...interesting. Evidently, they're not good spells on their own..."
((I'm pretty sure those are only on the one planet.((Well, well...Renen has a new target on ship....May I ask you don't do anything before Renen comes back...It's been a while since the last one... ))((Something I don't understand. Why doesn't Renen just use the whores? He shouldn't really have a reason to hit on any of the ship's girls, since he basically has what he wanted presented to him on a silver platter. Even if they are wearing plants. You can probably even take one on the ship with you.))
((But May isn't going after the girls for that exact same reason. It's like cheating on a fair video game.))((So, she's in it for the challenge? Why not work your way up to the Armory Master? Perhaps when you tire of your current body?))
((So continental drift suddenly decided to reverse?))More to the point, the
Well in any case, it's time to vote for house crow to be the new emperor. Or not as the case may be.At this point, there's so much support that not supporting them would be foolish for whoever doesn't. They're in.
I have taken the Freedom of Making a Galaxy Map...That's a small galaxy...Spoiler: The Empire (click to show/hide)
On a related note, I'm quite impressed with how quickly everyone's opting to vote for an Emperor. I had expected more infighting. If a Crow Emperor is crowned, he will immediately gain dictatorial say over fleet dispositions etc as per the Galactic Constitution.I think part of the reason that they're so popular is because they're popular.
"There is no magic to being better at war", Vaclaw DisBarr remarks with an instructional tone, "just a lot of grit and determination.""And yet, it was the Pra'Grue who fought for many years despite being outnumbered. Anyone can fight a war when they have the advantage, but only a few can do so when they are sentenced to lose from the start...let alone successfully for decades."
"Ahhh the fleet, now we come onto ground in which my people lead. More then any other race in the empire my people are engineers, in the past the emperor has refused to allow us to construct ships ourselves and this has been something of an issue."This certainly sounds like a logical course of action, although there are no doubt some humans who would claim I'm biased on this point."
Our service has always been loyal but the emperors have insulted us at every turn doubting us and refusing to allow us to put our skills to the fullest use.
If the new emperor would allow it and the Axar Coalition and House Ka'al would supply us with the psionics we require then we could begin mass production of ships within the year ready to begin a counter offensive to reclaim the core.
We need to focus our resources and my people have resources that are going to waste by imperial edict.
With the core secured we would have a safe base of operations to take the war to them directly.
I suggest that it is time that my people be allowed to begin ship production, our history within the empire has been one of complete obedience to the emperor and we have always acted with honor.
Does anybody have a reason why we could not be trusted?"
"That's a lot of words, Wraither, I fell asleep while listening." DisBarr smiles at his own joke. "I would like to propose to the council that we Lift the imperial ban on shipyard worlds. Who wants to second the motion?""Despite the more pressing matters...this seems like a reasonable resolution."
Proposed Resolution: Lift the imperial ban on shipyard worlds
"Not necesarily. One does not need a fancy forge world to grow food, nor refine fuel or make missiles, just a really big pile of peasants. Part of the whole grit and determination schtick I keep talking about.""Peasants cannot make fuel and missiles with their bare hands. Factories are needed, and planetary-scale facilities are by far the most efficient."
