Nexaduro Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Assuming there isn't already a Captain, Jeremiah is the only viable individual. Dusty too, probably, but if he ruins this, again, I am going to have a [bleep]ing seizure. <_< 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

The_Mather1 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 There's no way Dusty's going to get the title, he's too destructive to even be eligeble for considderation. Out of those who have held the title, Ross and Retech are the only ones who have the qualities a captain should have. Though I think we should go with a council as well, so that everything is taken into considderation before a major decision is made.

Retech Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 At most, we should have an acting captain for emergencies. Ultimately, I don't feel comfortable with anyone holding supreme power for any long period of time, and only comfortable with Jeremiah for a short period of time. Honestly, I would make a bad captain, because I just crunch numbers. I don't possess any adaptive or reactive traits that make for a good captain, so at most I could be an economic adviser.

The_Mather1 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Retech, you listened to the crew... well, at least you listened to me. The only other captain to listen to any crewmember was Ross, and he seemed to do that to a bare minimum. Twitter: @TheMather1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icuownage Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I'll be running my own colony most of the time. I may make a small sqaudron of ships, but I mainly serve under colonisation and as we start off with two ships. It's a REALLY big shaft.I didn't catch fire, I used the can of hairspray as a flamethrower and pointed it at my arm.how are you going to ignore my posts when I'm offering to let you live as my vassal in two weeks time?

Nexaduro Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Mather, no one listened to you because no one trusted you in the last game. I'M forgetting what happened last game, I think we ALL should. And Dusty wasn't destructive until he went into whiny-brat-bullying-the-mod mode because he couldn't be Captain. Well, and there's the fact that he always roleplays the brute force fantastic racism uber nationalist type. 10:53 PM - retech9691: I feel the need10:53 PM - retech9691: To include many chasms in my story arc10:53 PM - Resistance: You mean plotholes?

Resistance Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8OpsPok6iQ As Terrans it is our destiny to explore, only held back by our imagination and the sweat of our brow.In 1961 we knew that nothing was going to hold us back, we were determined to explore and with only basic technology we begun our ascent into heaven. Those two hundred and eighty one years ago we made a descision and we haven't turned back since.Because as terrans we can reach any star, any planet, any point. Through the darkest days, through the wind and the rain we will suceed GLORY TO THE TERRANS!!GLORY IN DEATH AND ALWAYS!!FOR IF GOD STANDS IN OUR WAY HE SHALL BE DESTROYED!! If destruction is the path to glory then let the blood of a thousand planets wash our ship and the screams of the dead sound through the galaxy, let them know that the Terrans shall never surrender. FOR GLORY!! -- I would like to be captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seraphi Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 It will be a vote. I will not be running for captain. I am also playing a heavily psionic individual. Registered and sanctioned, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim_ Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I propose that either Dusty or some other neutral individual be captain, for what it's worth I have a rank in piloting as well as the capability to create a 5th level ship weapon (that is useful for orbital bombardment (at least on microcosm)). If we cannot agree on who's captain I propose we set up a counsel of three crewmembers who will act as the governing body (and hopefully not able to agree in the least bit), composed of the oldest tavern members who can actually play the game.

archimage_a Posted April 10, 2011 Author Share Posted April 10, 2011 A poll has been posted.There are 3 positions avalible.Captainacy of Ship 1Captainacy of Ship 2And Colonial Controller All come with 25,000 kT of resources, which you can spend any way you like.However only 2 ships may be purchased to start with. Poll will close next saturday. 25,000 kT will be kept in reserve, and only be released with the agreement of all three. Votes for yourself with not be counted, and votes for the SI are votes for collective decision making, where everyone has 1 vote and there must be 4 votes to do anything with the 25,000 kT. http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree.

Alg Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Meh. I'll jsut be the repair junky, and if any of you ruin my ships i swear i'm going to murder you horribly.I was hoping to do the same, but with people instead of ships. On that thought, murdering people if they screw themselves up sort of eliminates the point, so maybe not exactly the same... :razz: Thinking of an idea for a curio. Cybernetically enhanced human? Perhaps with robotic limbs/brain implants of some kind? Leading to a slow conversion to a fully artificial being? Bonus could be a small number of talent ranks to spend on anything.

Resistance Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 To anybody that has voted SI, Please reconsider your choice, there are a majority of issues that could occur when it only takes four out of thirteen people to vote on an issue. It makes corruptability easy and trusting an AI to do jobs isn't one that I would favour. Please vote me if you want to be listened to but also want to security of having one neutral leader. I'm sure that voting for me would also reap certain benefits, regardless if I suceed in becoming captain or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leiana Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 @Icu and Nex: I dislike wearing armor. The problem is that if I had armor, I'd have to take it off when we're not fighting, put it back on for a fight against whatever, take it off... get the picture? Also, I'd have to make repairs, adjustments, and clean the armor so it doesn't rust or anything. See, it's too much of a waste or time. A sheild and plasma-proof gloves would work just fine. @Chi: Well that was BEFORE Lee went insane and Faust wiped her mind (Faust wouldn't let her be used for experimentation or let her have a elaborate death plan. Lee was becoming a P.I.T.A. to play). I still wish for Lee to be destroyed before someone (Archi) decides to bring her back and be evil or something. In fact, all the old characters that are not being used now should be destroyed/sucked into a black hole to never be seen again/something so we don't have to deal with them ever again. @Nex: I'M also going to forget what happened with the last space. @Everyone: APPOINTING ME AS CAPTAIN OR ACTING CAPTAIN IS ABSOLUTLY FORBBIDENBy the way, I watched Tron Legacy last night and thought (besides the fact of how awsome it was on the giant tv) we could possibly make a version of some of the weapons, like the disk, and use them. And maybe use the motorcycles too for terran expiditions or something (or just to have fun XD). All, of course shouldn't be able to desitigrate into a bunch of tiny cubes (pixles).

Retech Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I don't understand something. With these different ships, are their resources shared between the fleet/colony or are they separated according to the ship and then traded/shared when another ship really needs it?

Infact as captain I would make research my number one priority, because I know that with strong foundations you will create strong buildings.

The_Mather1 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Money is useless for anything but trade. We need a captain with experience, one that we know can't be corrupted. That's why I voted for Retech.Honestly I am that kind of guy as well, but I know I'll never become captain unless I perform a coup.

There is a first time for everything, I think you'll find that a person with experience isn't always the best to lead as they seem to always make assumptions. If you want to test this out close your eyes and walk up the stairs quickly, watch what happens on the last step. Its human nature. If you want somebody you can trust then you can vote for me.

The_Mather1 Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Lynx, Nex was the one who killed everyone except Drake and Jeremiah during your first mission. Also during the first or second session he brought the AI into an error state and stole a shuttle. He's too dangerous and unstable. Res, *cough* threatening an ally *cough*.

Earth Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Retech inccoruptable?.. ... Very wrong.I voted for the SI, because we always have to arge this way, although i'd be more than happy if it was based on numbers.. Say, 3 people show up for a session, only 2 have to vote for something to go through, and as the nmbers go up so do the peoplehaving to vote.. And I don't trust you yet, Resistance, simply because you haven't played a tavern game yet... Well, one like this.

Retech Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 I am extremely corruptable, but I always do things for the benefit of the ship. The way that I govern is quite simple. I mainly work the economy, making sure our ship has enough resources to keep trucking. Everytime that I have captained, I ask input with everyone before I proceed and talk with everyone, because I don't believe that the captain should have ultimate power to rule a ship. A captain is there to move things along when there is deadlock, to move the ship left or right when an asteroid is flying towards it and the crew is deadlocked. Master of your domain?
