	Beyond Alpha Centauri Discussion Thread 9 Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

The old BAC Discussion Thread 8 is nearly 500 posts, and IIRC, over 500 posts in one thread is bad.

Anyways, here we go on the 9th discussion thread for BAC. Not even the Spartan Chronicles had so much discussion matter.

I encourage everyone who hasn't yet done so to visit the CivGroups page and join the Storywriters' Guild. Not only do you get to be a member of a Storywriters' Guild, you get this cool quill icon that displays on all your posts!

Does being a member have any actual effect other than the icon?

Congrats on your post, GeneralTactius.

I must say, that mind-claw sounds terrifying!

I'd like to see more of the Cadre and the Rebs. It's a nice distraction.

What is up?

Yes yes, I'm back (I'm just waiting for Lonestar to take a couple jabs at me.....)

Sovereign-Hmmmm, from reading the past posts I think we can pick up from where we left off. As I remember, there are still University delegates on the Hive world: Drone Mound. We were going to start creating embassies, but only Drone Mound has been settled.

However, I think we should go kinda slowly because with school and work, I might not be able to post that frequently and keep up. But I definitely think we should warm things up.....I forgot to mention that the University ppl should be exempt from Thought Control (I only realized it now). Maybe some breathing masks or something......


Thanks guys, I'm getting back in the swing of things.

(Good post GenTacticus )

THERE he is.

We should discuss how thing will go between us. I'm predicting a very, long drawn out affair between us.

Victory to the Hive!

10-4 Lonestar.

Franky, in my next post, I'll try and address the GHE stuff. IIRC, Yang has already gave the Academician private coordinates for a meeting place, as we discussed in our PM's last year.

Yes, but only in their first appearence when they board a diplomatic vessel.

Every other time they'll miss.

StormTrooper Syndrome?

I remember hearing about it once or twice. Isn't that based on these StormTroopers missing the Rebs in the Star Wars films, due to graphic effects?

By the way, I'm currently typing up my post. Expect it to be posted within the hour.

That, or to 'clone madness' from (IIRC) the Thrawn books, which caused clones grown too fast to become unbalanced.

Thanks, GeneralTactius.

Lonestar, which version were you talking about? The Thrawn clone madness, or the Stormtrooper 99% miss rate on Rebs in the films?

Franky, in case you forgot, the code name "Lavender King" is about the personal meeting that we discussed about last year.

Mellian's back, out of the blue!

Franky and HistoryGuy posted a BAC story post each, within the past two weeks.

Me posting about 3 or 4 story posts within the space of a month.....

What is the world coming to?

Heh. I have ESP, Prez. Fear my Q-like powers!

I have ALWAYS wondered if all the Final Fantasys were linked or connected. I came up with several theories, but they didn't pan out.... so I decided to resolve it once and for all....

Have a Goa'uld from Stargate transplant humans on the FF2 world, then have them spread to the other FF worlds thru Stargates... and the Bahamut dude is in EVERY FF game... so I said, why not have the Goa'uld named Bahamut...

I generally think that our story needs a little spontaneity from time to time. That's okay.

However, what we're talking about here is a major plot issue. This is the kind of thing that needs to be discussed with the writer in question. I can understand why Franky isn't happy.

Perhaps . . . we need some sort of middle ground. What if the spy records the information on a disk or some such and casts it adrift in a pod?

That way, the location of Hive Prime remains secret now, and we have the possibility to reveal its location in a future plot?

Yes, thanks for seeing my side. Sorry if I sound kinda pissed, but I discussed this with Sprayber a long time ago...

And for now, I would like to keep it that way. I'm willing to make a lot of concessions, but that won't be one of them until later on, when things start to go bad.

Franky, here's an idea...

If Lonestar doesn't change anything...

You could have the spy believe that he was actually on the real Hive Homeworld, when in fact, it's a dummy one. A fake, if you will.

The REAL Homeworld remainds hidden.

Just a suggestion, bro.

That's a pretty good idea!

I'm not mad, I just wanted to get everyone's attention...so if anyone thinks so, my bad.

I'm willing to work this out (cause we've done this numerous time before) so whatever Lonestar wants to do, I'm up for it.....but I don't want it's location revealed until we're near the climax to the Hive plotline.
