Bitterness and WoeFor war shall wage eternal. And many are the times that foes become friends, and foes become even bigger foes, and foes disolve under your massed armies and die. For instance, let us record the messages of two clans and see how humans can relate within the sphere. |

You are scum. Aggressive, daring, opportunistic scum. Admirable qualities if we ever heard any. We have dispatched several Droids to wreak havoc amoung YOUR fast breeders in return for the crippling damage and technological set back you have caused us. Even if we are unsuccessful we have sufficient troops in the area to start a massive campaign against you. While our neighbours continue to grow in size and technology our bitter feud will cost us both.
I propose an alternative. Join me (or have me join you, if you dislike the grammar!). My armies to the north can escort your breeders south to the orange (as opposed to destroying them) where we can build a grand army and take our first steps at conquering this little world of ours. What say you?
A vocal opposition is one worth keeping. Makes things so much more enjoyable. Vocal allies are fun things too.
hmmmm.... no. I'm open to the possibility of an alliance, but not yet. I don't wish to commit to someone who lacks the required skills. Show me what you've got. Give me your best shot, then we'll talk.
Another admiral trait Clan X. Blunt honesty and an unwillingness to associate oneself with those who have not earned it. Had you accepted unconditionally, I would have identified you as weak and ultimately destroyed you. You have impressed us; let us see if we cannot do the same for you.
Can we at least ask a favour of you? Would you allow our most advance fastbreeder to live. We will grant you the same courtesy when we break through your defences (confident, us!) That way, should we decide to ally in the future, it won't be when our clans are nothing more than a pile of smouldering titan corpses.
This, ultimately is what we would like to avoid.
Again you impress us with your aggressive utterances. Or should that be passive-aggressive utterances?
Feel free to continue to ask for favours, but in this case I'll have to decline. I'm not interested in a war with rubber bullets.
Yes you have soldiers... but perhaps too many? Advice is the only favour you get from me. Get insurance on those techbreeders of yours. You plead for the most narrow of margins. A few days in tech may seem a lot today, but tommorrow it will seem like nothing. Why sacrifice the thrill of a real war for this nothing?
...
Run, run
As fast as you can.
You can't catch me,
I'm the gingerbread man.
Enjoy it while it lasts... you're going down, $#%&-Boy!!
Exactly. "Down" south. See if you can keep up. Or you could flee east and avoid having to deal with me at all.
Our fast-techs may do so, seeing as you refuse to give them any slack. But our armies shall continue to hunt you down until we have had our retribution... or you lay off my fast techs, you meanie!
You will be exterminated.
...
hmmm, seems you may have your first points within your grasp. First day of the new tourney too. 14-days of mayhem ahead in which to grow your clan.
Indeed. We will make sure that there is always space in your clan, for your forces to grow. It is the least we can do. If we get a little pleasure out of it, where's the harm in that.
To arms.
...
Seems you've still got your Mother merrily churning out invulnerable fighters. I may have to do something about that.
You have little to fear, Clan X. Our clan's complete lack of anything higher than gen 3, primarily the result and responsibility of a certain festering clan that shall go by the name of "turd-face" to protect the innocent has resulted in our total lack of interest in this new world other than to see the total destruction of your MOTHER so that you may not prey on others in the same fashion that you did us.
I could pursue your fast breeders in a further attempt at revenge, but they could probably out run anything I send at them. On a long enough time-line the survival rate for everyone goes down to none. Your time is coming Clan X, but it won't be by our hands.We prey your time on the sphere is miserable and unhappy.
You disappoint me. Being shot at encourages you to lose interest? What are you here for? A group hug?
Gen 3 vs my Gen 9 is not a huge disadvantage in the long term. I can't recall any major offensives against you. I started the war and simply held the line. Anything that challenged the line or went south of it died.
I hope you have a more enjoyable and peaceful time in the other world. You're obviously not cut out for war. This surprises me a bit, our initial exchanges promised so much. I truely value good enemies, you disappoint me, I had thought you were one.
...Silence...

And so a bitter end to a promising start. Is there a moral, or perhaps an imoral? Prepare for the worst - this is a world of conflict, and some folks fight to win, while others fight for glory. Fondly I remember Genesis, and how every elder lived in fear.... |
