So your communications options are ComStar, a Clan, or the Federated Suns(the FWL is a few hexes to far for them to establish an HPG link, so they're unavailible to you).

I'm a little unclear on this, as I'm not entirely up to date. Did the Word of Blake bite the dust as both a provider and a faction?  The Marians once had a relationship with the WoB, and I'm trying to determine whether it underwent the kind of messy break up during FC62 that might result, for instance, in a neutron bomb detonating in Caesar's bowl of breakfast cereal.

We could always build some one a comm's system.

Yes, the WoB were eliminated as a faction and provider. Elements of the WoB might have returned to the fold of ComStar, but for all intents and purposes, WoB's remmnants are fugitives, running from the Clans, and probably ComStar aswell.

[Marlin]

It is so much still unclear.

The Cats would be interested, for example, what happened to those  that stayed with the Hegemony, the olde Nova Cats. Would they be dead? Would they still cling to whatever planet they were on?

Etc.

Probably depends on whether they sided with the Wolf Dragoons or if they sided with the Master when everything hit the fan... though DR6 would be the man with the answers

Hhhmmm, I was trying to do something about my PM Box. It doesn't work like Email. I started creating new Labels, but they're not true folders. I labeled stuff, it moved to that label, but stayed in the inbox. If I deleted it from the inbox, it deleted it from the label. I guess it really doesn't matter that I have well over 100 pages of PM's

[Iron Mongoose]

PMs are a cruel mistress.  I've been gone for months and I'm on page 95 

[Daemonknight]

I prune mine every other month or so, else its grows so large i can't find anything.


As for the dragoons, Dave you should know their position on the cats

A cat walked into the Goons hiring office, and after hearing him out, the hiring officer had him escorted to a 'waiting' room while ROM was notified of his presence. Wolfnet was in no way responsible for any bruising or injections he might have sustained. Fell down some stairs most likly. Into a medical cart...


yeah. thats what happened. Wolf does not like kittys. Actually i think that was a Spirit Cat, haha

That's a good point. I'm sure the Goons have a little less hateration for Clan Nova Cat-in-Exile than for the Spirit Cats, but there is definitely some bad blood there over the whole "murdering wounded soldiers" business.

 Interesting points regarding the split between WoB and Comstar. Just a note the WoB are still around just not as a comms provider per se. They are quietly biding their time since the split was not near as violent but there were numerous sharp and brutal convetional actions as well as terror orperations from 3070 to 3080. More details will be made available once I am able to sit down and formally put them to paper so to speak. It is very possible that some factions may have WoB as a provider but throughan elaborate set of cut outs.

[Daemonknight]

Hateration. Sounds like some emo kid's drink.

Mix in a collins glass:
1 part Tequila
1 part Whiskey
1 part Cranberry Schnapps(for blood coloring)
2 parts crappy music
2 parts angsty poetry

Hateration!


sorry...

My biggest issue remains communications. Unless someone burned out all the Wobblies from the Marian Hegemony, I'm thinking that adepts outside of the inner circle would have been reintegrated into ComStar, leaving ComStar as my defacto provider. Pay no attention to Marians who still go to HPG temples to pray for the repair of their toasters. The truth is that despite his highminded ideals, Caesar never beat his technology addiction, which is what made the Hegemony a safe haven for the WoB for so long, despite their double dealings with the Circinus Federation.

Details on the forums are a bit sketchy about how things ended after the last turn. On the OOC side, one person seemed to think that the Spirit Cats had already crushed the Marian Hegemony out of existence.

The beatdown on Niops had a lot of secondary effects, such as the end of the CoPS and the return of Canopian sovereign territory, but I'm not at all clear on how or why it started. Can anyone give me more insight as to what happened?

[Deathrider6]

At the time the decision was made to do the time jump there was not a marian player at the same time I wanted to keep the Marians available for play should some one choose to. The MoC had outlined reintegration of the lost worlds during the time lag and It made sense so I ran with it. There are other choices I had to make as well but they will be made plain once the T47 prestart map is released.

[GI Journalist]

All of that makes sense. I'm not at all surprised Niops had to go. I guess what I don't understand is why it took so long, and why the Cats were the ones who eventually did the job.

[Daemonknight]

FWL was busy fighting the Adders, Marians had no player, and Marlin was the only Clan to go 'lets go hit those guys'
