Go Kass-kick some a**!

Anyways, for BAC stuff, I'm working on a new post dealing with the Drone's as well as the Spartans. Since Sovereign (hiya doin?) is out for a coupla weeks, I can't touch up on UCS-GHE relations.

Also working on a "Nemesis II" post concerning the Drone's and Gaians. I'm also thinking about a long-post idea dealing with a Hive propaganda-ist and the rest of the factions. Would be pretty big tho...Mr. Prez gave me some feedback. If you guys can, tell me what you think.

Right on. Anyways, I won't worry myself too much with realism. I will play with two major alternate realities ( ) added with a constant flashback dimension, which will already consume most effort. Besides, this won't be a story about Finand, science, the Enigmas or Armageddon... but a story about the human mind, the main characters and religion.

("Nemesis" would be pretty gory, like borderline-cannot-post gory.)


I wonder if it's cultural or just my inner twistedness, but I didn't consider Nemesis gory by a mile. It was human, but in no way extensively violent.

I got 77%, which surprised me since we've never been within 7,000 miles of each other.

Edit: I hope no-one noticed that my new American flag only has 48 stars on it. But it looks so neat . . .

Hm. For some reason I felt good writing that. And reading it, I actually like it. I rarely like my stuff immediately after writing it. Guess I should be off to bed then.

And yes, she's the gal in my avatar. She's a blatant ripoff from Neon Genesis Evangelion, all the way to the name... but considering we've had Final Fantasy X, Battlezone and whatnot involved, I hardly think it's against the universe and environment of the fic.

I haven't (consciously) plagiarized anything yet, mostly because I haven't read or seen anything worth plagiarizing recently. The last good movie I saw was X-Men and the last decent science fiction I read was I, Robot.

But wait, I hear you saying. Didn't you read that book more than five years ago?

Yes, I reply. It just goes to show what a sorry state commercial science fiction is in. We used to get Dune and The Caves of Steel. Now we get Hyperion and Prelude to Foundation.

Oh well. I've known you guys almost half the time longer then her (12 months / 8 months) , so I guess it's self explanatory. But it's still disturbing.

The additional Foundation books were rather... sucky, I agree. Haven't read Hyperion yet, though you are the first one to have a negative opinion on it.
I haven't read new scifi for years now, the last one I read was Timeline by Crichton. I've concentrated on catching up with the classics, like Orwell, Dick, Clarke...

Have any of you read Jeff Long? I've heard of two of his books, interesting stuff.

I must admit I'm not familiar with the works of Jeff Long, but perhaps I should take a look.

That's my experience too. It seems to be very, very popular.

About the link, all I saw was a really gross picture of an alien, and then the page killed my computer. Sorry.

Speaking of losing souls to new games, I'm thinking of getting an old one, namely Call to Power II. Have you, or anyone else reading this, played it? If so, what was your impression of it? (I'm also going to look for SimCity 2000 since the 3000 edition hasn't worked on my computer since I got the sound card replaced. But I know that's going to be good. )

We all hate random events, I sometimes wish I could've decide to turn them off before I was born... oh well. Bugger that.

CtP2? Got that on loan from a friend once. It was decent enough, far better then Civ3 in any case. Didn't even try out the modpacks out there, Poly has a ton of them. If you can get it for a decent price, go ahead. I liked the futuristic parts, to my annoyance the Civ games always lacked that part (hence my affection to SMAC).

What comes to the silence of this forum, I guess it's because the game is turning so old. But I'm very proud to be a part of BAC; in a bit over one month, it's been running for a full year. Not many MASTs reach those figures, I'd say.

Finally! Well, I wish I could have done more in the limited time available...I do want to have more time to get the Daisy thing, the mob plot, and the Free Capella thing fitted together with the Novans...and I want to add to the Peacekeeper plot. Hope you like this little bit which I cranked out in a half hour in order to let the more industrious Kassiopeia start with our DRAMATIC plot...

Nice one, History Guy. I hope Imran would appreciate what you've used his name for.

The latest post, in fact, inspired me to toss together my most recent contribution, which offers a brief glimpse into the shadowy underbelly of the Drone military's hunt for Nautilus Pirates.

I had a math exam yesterday, but I seriously doubt I got an A.

BAC group . . . hmm. It's apparently mainly for Democracy Games and related michigas, but it'd be worth asking nicely.

I just had a criminology midterm today and I think I bombed it.

I wouldn't mind having a BAC group, but I think it'd probably be really small....

I'm glad BAC is picking up again as well!

Well, just making sure you guys are behaving.....I haven't been able to come online for an extended period cause of that criminology test, but you guy's will probably see more of me now....usually hanging in the OT where I can do quick postings but now I'll be EVERYWHERE! Mwa-ha-ha-ha!

A side note: I looked at the link in your sig Kassiopia and it has made me want to watch Evangelion now.

Though I am going to have to force on of my buddies to by the DVDs or videos since the local movie store only takes obscure Anime from the 80s and lots of Hentai.

Silence, you will find Evangelion intriguing in a philosophical sense. Try to avoid spoilers, though the metaphysical and psychological aspects won't suffer too much from knowing important plot twists beforehand.
