We are waiting on your submission for how you propose for the alliance to function. At present we see you as very weak and an easy initial conquest.

If Planta can satisfy the Mechanema in the major points of emphasis an alliance would be acceptable. Elsewise prepare for imminent invasion.

Piss off.

The orion are enjoying the open hostility so much

[cerveza_fiesta]

Overheard in the Great Hall of Ancient Warriors on Rigel Prime -- *Chairman* Wekken speaking to Warmaster Bann:


I don't spare Vannov a second's thought, Bann. This moment is in fact the first I have thought of him since I impaled his wrigling, weakling body on the poison spikes of the arena wall. The transmogrification did not go well for Vannov...somebody most certainly administered desert roach venom -- would that I knew who -- but the audience did not detect it. From outward appearances, I simply picked up a weaker opponent and threw him at the spikes. Granted, it was an unusually rapid victory, but such things have happened before.


[from Bann]


Sir, we have discovered troubling news concerning Weken.....


[interrupting]


I know of Weken's treachery. I know he shared knowledge of my allergy with Vannov...does he think I have no spies in my own Chancellery?? That pitiful runt - trying to poison his own father so that he could petition for joint leadership with Vannov's spawn after both our deaths in the ring. He has some idiotic notion that the ORION can live in peace and harmony like PLANTA?? I think not.

The depth and brutality of his plan have impressed me though -- I am truly moved that my *own* spawn would be so ruthless. Moronic as his goals are, his methods are beyond reproach. We may make a proper leader of him yet.


[a nod from Bann, then more loudly, to give the impression the two were discussing business]


Will there be anything else then sir?


[from Weken]


No Warmaster, you performed admirably at the Battle of the Hive. I expect further victories this cycle.


[stiffly saluting, from Bann]


Sir.


[Bann leaves the Chairman




The spy slips off to relay the conversation transcript to the Galactic Council.

I like not this talk of a CF/Tatts alliance on my borders!

Tapper would you be interested in an alliance, I could help you take the ancient homeworld and it would prevent the CF/Tatts alliance forming.

There are only two entrances to our territory at the moment so it would be relatively easy to defend. We are both in a good position to build up vp and research for a strong end game.

I would be.

Ok I'll consider that a formal offer of alliance which I'd be glad to accept.

Any preference for which alliance you want to form?

I think we agreed previously that allies can PM each other off thread?

doesn't look like a formal offer to me, really, but whatever.

your lovely turtle shell with IH will last exactly as long as it takes us to get wormhole generators. Ally with the winning team and things could go much better for you.

EDIT

consider that a formal counteroffer to both you and tapper.

EDIT EDIT

i realize that means we'd have to wait until next round to formalize the alliance. If you don't obstruct that homeworld capture by Tatts then you're in.

Round 4 as well if I remember correctly

[cerveza_fiesta]

oh, there is a round limiter too? I forgot about that discussion. Maybe our plans need to wait until next round anyway then Tatts.

To be fair, I can't recall if we decided firmly that there was a round-limiter on alliances.

Alliance, no alliance, whatever. But should you put your threat to action be sure it's a knockout.

Elsewise, fuck off.
