Sankis is supposed to post the nominations, and his votes for his candidate.

First one who receives a turn with a AI faction(s) is supposed to post their votes and candidate as well.

I emailed them to you, didn't you recieve it? From my last post:

quote: Mail sent to all members of the game regarding the planetary council I started up. (accidently, but oh well. Might as well.)

Heres what I sent if you didn't recieve it:

quote: This is just to inform you that I recently started a Planetary Council vote not long ago. The Candidates are: (Gaian) Deidre (Peacekeepers) Lal The votes are as followed: Sankis: 7 Aeolus: 4 Elevea: 8 Rubin: 6 Diedre: 10 Lal: 12 Yang: 9 As of this email, it is a tie with each candidate having 19 votes. Good luck, and vote carefully.

I voted for Lal, I forgot to add that in the message

(I sent it to you too, Mr. CMN. Don't any of you check your mail?)

Sorry for the confusion.

Yes, I did earlier this evening, and no 'voting' mail was received then.

Doesn't matter now. It seems if everyone is willing, this governor vote can be nullified by simply abstaining. Nicely done!

MY 2128

It has been a busy year for Datajack Aeolus. Ever since the first contact with Sankis and his Pirates, Data Angels' comlink has been flooded with messages from other factions.

There's even the first Council meeting with elections for the governorship of the Planet! It has been happening too quickly for Aeolus' comfort but he did not have much choice in the matter.

Seven factions... Aeolus never expected all of this to be so complicated. Sighing to himself as he stood before the updated map of the area in which his bases are. All he could see were xenofungus. Indeed, there are much work to do.

Sitting down at his desk, he went over reports complied by his intelligence "experts" on faction leaders. Some of them, he knew personally, but this was nearly 30 years ago in a different life and a different time. So much has changed ever since then.

He hope very much so that somehow he will be able to craft a peaceful co-existence with others but few leaders have been hostile toward him already.

Ah, yes, it has been a busy year.

MY 2128.2204, Queen's Chamber.

"Elections for a planetary governor??" Elevea cried, "Why should we acknowledge such a government, we're independant and no-one will tell us how to live!"
Geo answered: "Calm down, Gwynn. Nothing we can do about that now. We're not alone on this world after all. If the other factions feel the need for such a governor, let them do so. We simply keep out of it as much of possible, or attempt to become the governor later on..."
"Yes, but..." Elevea flared up.
"No, no but." Geo interrupted. "It works two ways as well. If that bastard Yang continues to press his will, we can appeal to that council then.
"Ok, " Elevea said, "but this must be discussed in the council as well."
"I'll call out for a meeting then." Geo said, "See you later!"

*************************************************
Council proposal: elect Planetary Governor, MY 2128

Deirdre: 19 votes (10 from Deirdre, 9 from Yang)

Deirdre has been elected Planetary Governor--I hope to have an update ready soon.

Randomness & Carelessness, M.Y. 2128:
So, the fine Captain Sankis has convened the Planetary Council. It is disturbing how reckless the faction leaders' dispositions seem to be. Firstly, they all knew that the University votes were crucial and none of them found it nescessary to confer with me prior to voting. It should be evident that Brother Lal should not be allowed to claim governorship and Lady Deirdre were not to benefit on this fact. However, the careless voting of DataJack Aeolus left me with no choice. Alas, the inefficient Lady Deirdre is now our Planetary Governor. Disturbing indeed.

And why is it that diplomatic negotiations seem completely futile? How come the faction leaders think they have time to wait? This tendency is foolish and generally a waste of time. Of course, Brother Lal may have his own personal incentives but why do the Atlantean Kingdom refrain from diplomatic progress? And why should the Data Angels decide to hesitate? Surely, something is up and I cannot afford to sit and wait.

The seeming randomness and carelessness projected leave a clear impression of factional dispositions. I hope it is not too late for reasoning.

Question: I noticed that first Pirates and Angels started a secret project, but that next turn those were gone from the F5 screen. Is this a MP bug that they first appear when construction starts and dimish till finished, or did you guys had to stop constructing it for some reason?
