DarkCloud (I think): I have read the Morganite history, and it seems fine.
Every chance I get, you can be sure I will be reminding all factions of my personal viewpoint that it is not the business of the Planetary Council to interfere with the internal affairs of factions. (You can imagine why Morgan would be wary of an Alliance member in the governor's seat because of their green ideology and his polluting industry-based economy.)
The Data Angels will be reminded to respect the will of the Planetary Council. Part of democracy is accepting the will of the people, even if it grates on us at times. They are also reminded that Morgan Industries is prepared to defend itself against any unilateral action.
To the Hive, the Spartans, and the Drones, I will be sending this message: The increased access to resources Morgan will gain should he be retained as Governor will allow him to set aside increased economic aid packages, possibly in advance.  I would also like to tell Miriam and Dawn that satisfactory resolution of their situation would make us look much more favorably on increasing economic aid to both of them. Captain Svensgaard: You have a large merchant fleet, and I have some ports. Perhaps, should I be retained, I will possess the resources to increase and broaden co-operation.
I also agree with the on-vote-per-faction system. It will make the elections more interesting, and, like someone said, give more people the chance to run in the future.
P.S. I don't mean to nag, but I don't seem to have the map yet. I was wondering how it was coming along, and when it could be sent out? Thanks in advance.

We share much of the interfactional comunitie's concerns with recent actions taken by "hardline" peacekeepers, which seem to be going against the desires and requests of various factions.

It seems that neither the Believers, the Gaians, nor the Cult of Planet have requested assistance from the U.N., and forces in the area have hardly provided a neutral calming affect. But we do commend the U.N. for the humanitarian relief that they HAVE provided in helping those fleeing war zones. |
Let the record show that the Data Angels have voiced their concerns and that the Peacekeepers accept them as valid and legitimate.
We would like to address some of these points in a little more detail...
First of all, let me stress that we're all concerned about the current situation on the Western Continent and the deployment of foreign troops there (PK troops included). We also have to admit that the deployment of U.N. forces in the region has not had the desired effect on the overall situation, although we HAVE accomplished our mission on a smaller scale, protecting the innocent and providing disaster relief. That said, there is currently some concern amongst us that things may have gotten a little out of hand with the troop deployments and that we've ended up acting more as a third party to the conflict than as neutral peacekeepers. We are currently taking steps to remedy the situation and ease the tensions that have unfortunately arisen.
Which brings me to the point that U.N. actions

Sad but true.
It is unfortunate and regrettable that some people have come to feel threatened or even mistreated by the U.N. This is clearly something we shall strive to avoid in the future. I should point out, however, that we can not let our actions be governed by those who have no regard for our Charter, or who actively seek to prevent its enforcement. Nor could we sit idly by and watch a humanitarian disaster simply because there was no political consensus on how to handle it in the interfactional community. We had to act and we did so with good intentions. Sadly, certain people failed to recognize this and regarded our presence an "unjust interference" rather than a humanitarian effort and a peace initiative. Even more regrettably, it became necessary to station troops in the region to protect U.N. personnel and civilians from the more aggressive elements of such groups. Tragically, a number of armed incidents have occurred since the deployment of these troops and they have been forced to defend themselves on a few occasions.

And so do we. It is not hard to agree that what has happened is indeed regrettable. Maybe a few things should have been done different. However, it can be hard to show restraint when somebody's trying to kill your people - even if you ARE a Peacekeeper. That said, we are currently working on a new set of policies which should hopefully help ease the tensions. Also, we will carefully evaluate all our operations and experiences from this conflict for the purpose of improving future performance.

Correct. The U.N. intervened on its' own account, which it may do under certain circumstances according to the U.N. Charter. We felt that such circumstances were present and that there was a dire need for immediate action. Like I said, we could not sit and watch a humanitarian disaster and not try to stop it.

(...) and forces in the area have hardly provided a neutral calming affect. |
Regrettably, this is true. It seems our forces are seen as a party to the conflict rather than neutral peacekeepers. We are currently considering what can be done to remedy this situation and avoid similar conditions in the future.

Thank you. -And we are still doing this.

I want to quikcly mention before goes out of hand....
Guardian - Gaians and Believers don't share borders. Cult of PLanet is located between the Gaians in the north with the Ruins and believers in the south and south-east. Cult and Believer borders don't actually touch each other, so there is a open neutral zone in between. Unity Wreckage covers a good part of this open neutral territory...and also where i can a lot of fighting is happening.
PKs could also use the excuse in establishing themselves at the unity wreckage to preserve the wreckage from war :P
sorry for dissapearing for several days, been busy, tired, working, hot, etc.......
