Quick question while I try to catch up: are the bgreman.com sites from earlier in the LP (for ship designs, missile design, etc.) all void now? With the exception of the personnel page, everything rolls up 404. Pretty pleased that I'm the CO of the Belnar Imperium Exploration Corps with my thunderous 1% bonus for xenoarchaeology.  What spot is my unit currently assigned to?

To: Lt. General berryjon and UN Ground Forces Centcom From: Col. RedTonic, CO Belnar Imperium Exploration Corps Subj: Paperwork  I'd also appreciate an update on our orders. ---- Out of character-ly, I haven't noticed the BIE Corps being assigned to anything while reading the text-only parts of bgreman's updates and I didn't note anything in the wiki. I could have missed something in the images, though. Is the unit currently assigned to Mars or any other known Belnar ruins? And may I have a current stats update of my officer (assuming the version in the Viewer is out of date)? e: Gnooble's communication is the last post of the previous page and includes ~spaceship orders~ and ordnance manufacturing orders. e2: Holy poo poo, there's way more stuff on the viewer than I thought.  Thanks, Saros!

Unrelated to current proceedings, bgreman, were there ever further developments with regards to Ambassador Aloyoshenka Kulikov, who came down with leukemia (supposedly)? For Zhongguo, why not ask to establish a scientific outpost/station one of our ~science spaceships~ out there and share any xenobiology developments with Fred in exchange? A full blown colony or military outfit may threaten them, but I imagine a small research outpost would be less alarming, especially with a conciliatory approach towards research sharing. I admit I don't know what that would look like in game terms. Setting up an actual lab on a celestial body in Zhongguo seems unlikely, since I am betting that requires a civilian support population. A science ship might be significantly easier since it would prevent the UN from making any end runs with the Articles of Colonization. e: what markus said e2: I've begun updating the Mars page on the Aurora wiki. I'm not quite into the events with the Brotherhood of Free Mars just yet. I have taken a few small liberties with a couple of the throwaway events around UN leaders' skill-ups that bgreman included in his updates, but nothing huge. I incorporated the whole text with some small adjustments of bgreman's flavor text about the Republic of Mars (RIP). POOL IS CLOSED fucked around with this message at 23:00 on Dec 16, 2014 |

I finished making a big update to the Mars wiki entry. I definitely didn't lose it when my account mysteriously logged out in the middle of the day, no way. Definitely didn't have to re-do that and probably omit little factoids.

Thanks! I think I'll work on expanding the Mars-related stuff while that's fresh in my mind. (And I guess I better aggressively check that I stay logged in...) bgreman, I put your Belnar in Our Time and Theirs write-up into the wiki. Unfortunately the neat pictures can't be embedded if they're not in the wiki directory. e: I intend to source aggressively so that in case of future UN shenanigans, the major actors can point to past events with more certainty. I'm very glad it's appreciated! Skeletons of related pages are going into place, should have those more fleshed out and cited over the next couple days. If someone wouldn't mind looking over the http://bgreman.com/AuroraLPWiki/Second_Treaty_of_Mars page and providing whatever the actual text of that agreement turned out to be, that would be awesome (TildeATH?). In any case I'll have that page done today based on what I could find in the thread. \/\/\/\/ POOL IS CLOSED fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Dec 18, 2014 |

Thanks for digging up all those lovely letterheads. I've uploaded them (both versions for each office) to the wiki and included them (the large only) in the appropriate pages (where I could find them, at least). I also added the Mars flag (though I think I might be wrong; the one I used might be Brotherhood rather than UN) and Jupiter flag. Were any other flags (Venus, Luna, etc.) ever decided upon? I'm having a little trouble locating flags. fake e: love parentheses real e: Thanks, Gnooble. I've made a little correction or two accordingly.

To: UNGF Mailing List From: Col. RedTonic Subject: A Martian History Finally recovered from a spate of tne gastronomy-poisoning. Don't let the eggheads out here in Callisto convince you that mercassium-assisted sous vide moonbear steak is in any way safe or delicious. In between bouts of mortal suffering, I have included further updates in my little unofficial history of our Martian efforts. I'm pretty sure I managed to exclude any mention of my delirously beautiful medal. Mediocrely yours, Col. RedTonic BIEC

Order the crew to concentrate on singing the song that never ends. At the very least, it will baffle and annoy the Mind before the crew's inevitable personality death; at best, it'll drive the Kaavi nuts and they'll be ineffectual! Psychic enemies are the worst.

That was one action-packed update. I'm not sure having no apparent guns means that ship isn't a threat. After all, a previous unarmed pod was able to make modifications to a military class vessel of ours. (Sure it was narrative... But who knows?)

If the Mind can still forcibly Osaka someone, we're at a (diplomatic) impasse.

Kommando posted:They may still do this. Right. If I were a potent mind-eating Mind, maybe I would wait until the density of detectable minds rose to population center levels before exerting my mind-eating Mind powers instead of chowing on the ship crew. Or maybe I did chow on the ship crew and no one has figured it out; meanwhile, I'm taking a pleasure cruise to the all you can eat naked mind buffet. I mean, I'm out on a distant space rock. If Earth's population gets eaten, before our inevitable lonely end, I'll write some tragic space memoirs for future explorers to use as sani-wipes.
