Topic: OP : The Peacekeeper Wars

[Hexx]

What?

I don't care if someone else thought of the title first, it's a good title.
And completley original if you didn't know that someone else thought of it first.

Anyway.. apparently a while back in a hallucinogenic haze I cam up with (or copied.. really can't remember) a brilliant
server concept consisting of the Gorn/Rom/Kzin/Lyran and Hydran fighting over the territory formerly known as the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon Empire.
Now this was good.. but sobriety has shown me that to create a server with different, interesting and somewhat plausible VC's for 5 + races is work.
As work is of course something I get paid to pretend I do, it doesn't really apply here.

Sooo
After finally sitting down and watching a film I've had for some time (can't remember the name atm) I thought
"Hey that's a big wormhole! Wouldn't it be funny if all those stupid plasma chuckers got sucked into one?"
and then
"How can I punish people for chucking plasma on a server?"
And it came to me.

What if instead of the stupid Darwin, an ISC ship had got caught in a temporal thingy and hurled forward then backward in time
This ISC ship could have reported that the silly little "Pacification" would get stopped cold at the Lyran border (SFB Factoid! Look it up!)
and then the ISC would get theri collective Heiny's stomped but good by the Andros.
Sooo the ISC head honchos decided to become a little more agressive.
Realizing that historically the Gorn and Romulans have merely been cannon fodder for the Alliance and Coaltion respectively they decided to use them for their intended role.

The Andros hit the galaxy, only to find a very strong Galactic East, and turn their attention towards the Federation and Klingons
(who are all busy disarming at this time)
Then there's lots of fighting, people making long winded speeches about how they can destroy the Andros with a simple pictoral illusion, because obviously even though they can travel between galaxies they're stupid. Then more speechifying on how even if they can do this to save Earth is it right to hurt another species to do so? Then basically more fighting.More whining. Repeat ad nauseam for seven years and..

On the Eastern side of the map sits the ISC and their two protectorate states.
On the Western side of the map sit the Kzin Hegemony, Lyran Empire, and the Hydran.. whatever it is.
In the middle sits alot of open territory .

No Feds
No Klinks
Plasma Chuckers vs Lyrans & Fodder for control of the known universe.

Thoughts?

And yes- I wasn't going to but I'll allow a few gasps of admiration and envy
-Don't say I never do anything for you

[Hexx]

Ahh lass, any server I set up will be glad to have you decked out in purple.
I think it's go lovely with the burning purple hulls those Hydrans like to use.

Although, if I may be so bold- I think you'd look stunning in gold..

And just because plasma chickers are the only race who's heavy weapons are noted for... firing blanks is no reason to worry yourslef
Disrupters never misfire...

[Dfly]

sounds good to me, but those poor plasma chickers would never stand a chance IMO, but I could be wrong.

Don't you normally fly Gorn?


Hexx the apparently misinformed

[Dfly]

strange, I flew Gorn in 2 servers total.  I flew Hydran for 3 years, Mirak for 1, Klingon for 3, Gorn for 6 months(within the 3 year Klink) and now Lyran for 4 months.  In those years I flew all other races at times (except FEDS where I only ever flew them in Mirror-Mirror).  And all anyone remembers is that I was a Bruce. 

I like to think I am skilled at many races and a threat no matter what the ships.  Oh well, Gorna go get a soda.

I like to think the same about myself, doesn't mean anyone else does though 

Nah I just remembered you smackin the crap out of me while you were flying Gorn on some server.
On the rare occasions that happens I usually just console myself with the belief knowledge that that's what
you've been flying for years.

Are you trying to make me look like a liar?

[Dfly]

absolutely not, besides you even admitted that I slapped you around while I flew Gorn, and that is the truth 

[Hexx]

Well I mean I remember I was playing without a keyboard or mouse while trying to put out a fire and save the neighbors cat while the
fight was on, but you earned the victory.

Well, I'm pretty much FED up and thinking about branching out.

Well Lyran is about as far from having people Fed up as you can get.
Plus it's like our mission in life to pound on the Kzin (chuut) and Hydrans (t00l)

What more could be asked for?

I gather a Bruce = Gorn, but where's that come from?? curious.....


In general - this is to be an ISC/Rom/Gorn vs. Lyran/Kzin/Hydran setup?? -- I love the backstory - would be fun to have the Andros around    

Fire er up!!!

Seems like there would be a disparity in hex flipping capability between the two sides unless you have a plan where hex taking is not a issue?

That's why I left the Kzin in, should help even things up between the two sides.

LYRAN CIVIL WAR

Thats the one I've been waiting for.

Order should be
1) Katfight
2) ?
3) Profit LCW

LCW is (tentatively) in my mind going to be ready for Sept 06.. but sometime after I get some PVP practice in.
Map's done, sides are drawn up, backstory is.. well there's a backstory of sorts (see there's this civil war..)

[CaptJosh]

PvP PRACTICE? <sarcasm>The great Hexx needs PRACTICE? My illusions are shattered...</sarcasm>
