Can I write for the Believers, or is this some sort of a private community off-limits for others?

Close Community? heck no...how else could we get people to join and write?  I didn't know these people until they joined well, know each other only via the boards and other internet form of communication
Yeh! Argonaut is back Me like Data Angels and I am sure they would have fun with the Pirates
Dark Cloud, since we are moving to 2200, would accept the addional bases in the East parts? They would be small, but for strategical reasons and places to for Scientists to do their pet projects in peace with no risk of killing to many peopl eif something goes wrong
Should we have the aliens now, or wait atleast a year? they are about hundred years overdue :P
Anyway, time to do the modified histories Will do a general summary one, and you people can go further in details i each of your factions Histories. Lot of the main events would still happen, but some others will not, especially where it involves Antimind and Planetmind being sentient. No Antimind and Planetmind not playable, more like NPC. So the Data Angels will not have a Garrison at the Manifold Nexus. and so on.

Sorry I haven't been around lately.Back again to a decent computer...
I could take the Cult of Planet.
Okay, LordLMP, I noticed your changed the Sparta-PK history quite much.
DAMN IT! What is wrong with you? Though Sprayber controls the Spartans now, I still have alot of objections as I controlled the Spartans then, and spent lots of time writing those stories. Frankly, I dont care if I hurt somebodys feelings, ideologies or view of world when playing spartans like that, this IS a roleplaying game after all!!!
And now you've changed it into a story line that depicts Centauri Dawn for Christs sake!What, can't you stand a little atrocities?
As I've understood roleplaying, players have the right to choose their doings, and not be leashed by the GM.
And let me guess, the pirates still have their HUGE armies, impossibly elite ground forces and huve probe values.But Of couse, that faction is controlled by the GM, you see?Priviledges, priviledges...
The pirates get all the good things, and the Spartans and CoW just the whip and slash.
Whatever, LMP, whatever. Just DON'T do that kind of things anymore, okay?
Yes, I played a double life as the player controlling the PKs, but didn't want to make them weak( didn't need to, you see ), just wanted to get them out of there and safe to that island, from where they did a lot of "good" things, you must admit.
Do whatever you wish with the CoW, I don't see a future to it in this hostility.
Lets keep this story a story, and not a bickering and arguing of details. I've been in this since the beginning and I would not like to see all of this whole construction fall

Cyber, Spartans are not perfect and would of done some atrocities, but not huge crazy ones like Nuking, mass genocide(some excutions of "rebels" ok, disregard of civilians during combat makes sence too) Gives bit more freedom to Sprayber with the Spartans without some Big Black Marks. Besides, its distancing a bit to much from SMAX. Anyway, by making Planetmind not playable (reasons: to much power, can be everywhere and step on other peoples bounds. Also, Planetmind doesn't have newspaper and doesn't make sence to have it part of the council and so on. Christine been missing for a bit), the planetmind factor has been removed. So Peacekeepers would have trouble to completly leave the continent by IoDs and other things. As for the Centauri Dawn...ideas from it, but not completly. Unity Pod thing would make sence to start fighting over then just a excuse of "them being weak". Without Planetmind, they would be a need of a reason to why Santiego didn't kept UN HQ. Haven City and Humanity Base wouldn't of been discovered.
As for the Pirates, they pretty much had free reign of the oceans without to much opposition. Allies with the Data Angels and Peacekeepers, who have the next largest Navies. As for the Elite thing, they got Extra Train and takes up a "Ability" slot. So they are a bit vulnerable to Artillery and Air units. Battle Dragons is small compare to other factions Armies. As for the Marines, they specialize in Amphibious assaults and doing Garrisson duty. Pirates don't have much of an advantage ground wise. Also, Pirates focus more on the Navy then Air, so their Air Force is too small to give proper coverage everywhere. Anyway, Pirates wasn't really active in the game too.
Sprayber, as for Blast Rifle Crag... can say Pontas ask for cease-fire, avoiding surrender thought, and make some deal. Especially when the Garrison losses was to high to properly defend the perimeter defence if ever the Pirates directly attacks in concentrative way. Pirates wouldn't of gotten complete control of the base, but would acquire Perimeter Defence and Naval Yards. Then they would allow the Gaians to come in. Blast Rifle Crag could get back to complete control of Sparta after a Treaty was settled with the Peacekeepers and so on. So can be a trade... give back Data Acquisition and we give you back Blast Rifle Crag.
Helzberg and Weiss could of went rogue a bit, with no Human Shield atrocity thought. Santiego could of still disbanded the Junta, in a more peaceful way then complete purge due to increase in corruption. Anyway, you can do what you want. The Second Spartan War would be pretty much close to the same, except no Human Shield, no Cult of Planet Elite Troops, but Elite Infantry units could still exist and still attacked defence lines north of Haven City. Weiss succeeded in punching through the defence lines in the west and going straight for Data Acquisition, using Nerve Gas upon the base, causing a lot of civilian cassualties. and so on
Would rather wait for someone to play atleast one of the aliens, but can still have them up if wanted too... they would stay quiet anyway so they have a chance to establish a bit. Scout ships don't usually have a big crew complement. I was thinking to have the Usurpers land in the Northern Island, takes control of Alien Center. Soon after, start fighting the humans there of various factions and start pushing to get the bases there.
I will do the quick altered summary timeline, in general with enough room to alow players to fill in the details.

One more thing, about the Pirate probe thing.... Probe rating doesn't improve, just that the Pirates have atleast 15 active probe teams and 3 Probe Cruisers. With some Data Angel training, a lot of them get elite moral.

Knowing the Believers, the CoP-Believer War could still be happening. Could make it the longest lasting war on chiron to date, close to 2 decades long :P aswell as the most bloodiest, putting the Second Spartan War as second. Can have the war die down a bit, but War still happening thought...but both sides resources and militaries pretty much wreck for the moment.
So when game starts up again, the war is currently quiet. So not much needs to be done until you can write bit more often Cyber. Doubt peace will come for while longer.
The war started slow, where over half a year has elapse before the first main battle as happened. So while the believers prepared its first mass push, Cult prepared its defences, using exprience from troops that was at the PK Defence lines during the Second Spartan War. During the war, the Believers sent three or more huge pushs, but each one was smaller then the last. Most of the fighting could of happened at the Unity Wreckage area.
Military rundown of both sides at the beginning of the war:
Believers
-Have the second biggest ground on chiron
-have the Fanatic combat bonus
-they are behind in tech, so most of military were still using Impact Weaponry while rest used Gatling Lasers.
-Most of military is comprised of cheap Infantry Units, with some good ones for Garrison or whatever, while rest are cheap Rovers.
-Into mass pushs.
(during the war, Believers may of acquired some new techs from the Spartans or/and others. Believers don't worry about resources[minerals, energy and manpower] and industry, just how fast they can replace their losses in their fanatical attacks :P They would of started making Empath/Trance units aswell...they did have some, but not enough to make a diffence in the beginning of the war :P)
Cult of Planet
-Have an average size military
-Military mostly comprised of mindworms, but do have some conventional units
-Have a lot of fungus, most are planted over the years. So they have an advantage, which always gave the believers trouble during the previous wars.
-If the Believers attacked right after they Declared War, the Cult would of been cought off guard, but that never happened. So the Cult had enough time to prepare it defences along their border and at Unity Wreckage.
-Have some experience conventional and mind worm units from the Second Spartan War
-Cult have slightly more advance techs compare to the believers, gained from the Peacekeepers just before and during the Second Spartan War started. They also acquired Missile Weaponry base on the Spartan designs. They captured a few spartan missile rovers you see. (it has happen, just read Blake's actions before he dissapeared)
(Yes, the Cult would have enough time to prepare defences, which mostly comprised of mind worms. during the first main believer push, the Cult would of learned that they cannot mainly depend on mindworms, especially as they are loosing them faster then they could breed/capture. So Cult started recruiting/conscripting Infantry units. Their Industry wasn't good enough to seriously produce a lot of rovers quickly, so they could make a deal with morgan. Cult send energy and Morgan provides rovers, weaponry, equipment, supplies and other stuff.
Also during the war, Cult military was forced to be bit more creative and also develop some combine force doctrines, mixing mindworms and conventional forces together or whatever.)
Kass, will be sending the map soon. Hope you have SMAX.
Will write up the general timeline, mention global effected events, wars that effects somehow the whole planet, or just other factions then just the combatants, events and so on tommorrow.
There will be room for you people to fill concerning your factions
Darkcloud will be gone for a bit, vacation probebly
