Here was my speech on Psych, and the active list of GS at present as well as their positions:
quote:
Greetings zeit,
I must admit, GS has been my personal favorite team to deal with. Always straight up and free of the games that are involved in some of the other teams.
As far as Jung is concerned, I have had no real formal training and only am able to read whatever I can get my hands on at the local library here, which is not always much.
I originally was interested in him due to my own heritage. I am 1/8 Sioux, and spent a year with a shaman on the reservation. I noticed many similarities between Jung and the Sioux religion. In addition, I have seen many things that he describes in action, such as the collective consciou(sp) and Collective Unconscious(sp).
Any sporting event can be seen as an experiment in the CC/CU in fact. To a smaller effect, so can a good horror movie. Your emotions and reactions simply run deeper because of the magnitude of people that are around you feeling the same way. Re: the sports, living here in Utah, I experienced this myself. I could care less for basketball. However, when the Jazz were in the finals a few years ago, I was fully caught up in the emotion that the entire town was feeling. It was quite interesting when I stepped back and examined it as such.
I have been surprised at how well the Internet can be a vehicle for these same experiences, and as such I predicted a 'personality' for the CC of each of the teams based on what I knew of the people who signed up. So far, I have been pretty accurate with the teams I knew most about (lego and vox had allot of strangers to me at the time). I often find myself needing to remove myself from the game a bit to get an objective view, though, since the GoW shapes my own perception, and perception IS your reality. That is what we are seeing, the different teams, how their CC perceives the game, and the different realities that are becoming apparant.
I have also been tracking how dominant leaders are effecting the perceptions of their teams. Togas is one such leader, and that team has definately blindly followed his lead. Ghengis may have been early on was as well, but GoW seems to be full of strong personalities, and some very interesting internal debates have arisen because of it, none of us are very willing to go with the flow so to speak and insisting on having our own perceptions recognized.
This is waxing long and I need to get my sons to bed.
Until later

Dear UnO!
Please accept my apology for the delay, It's been a hectic day, and I've barely made it to finish my academic chores in time...
Thank you for the elaborate explanations of the Jungian'ism (is that an acceptable term?) as you it in the game. I always thought Jung mentioned the symbols and the collective uncs. as universal, but now that you mentioned it, it does make sense that in different cultures (and teams), different symbols and archetypes are menifested in different ways.
And now, for the official list of key-members. This are not "officials" in every sense of the word, as our team is run mostly by discussion and an attempt to reach consensus, but still:
Notyoueither- the founding father of the team, doesn't have any official duty, but he is sometimes looked on as the 'godgather'
Sir Ralph- once a dedicated in-game player, his activity has gown down over the last couple of months, and now is back up. A true Hawk.
Arrian and Thesues- the two co-generals of the GS army. They are always "to the point" and tend to spare the chit-chat.
nbarclay (Nahan)- Our never-sleeping player, and our talented chief economist. He was also our de-facto ambassador in Vox.
Aeson- a dedicated economist and analyst of the team, working alongside Nathan on the short and long-term planning of infrastructure and city planning.
DeepO- a gifted diplomat, who was once a white dove. He is now a bit closer to the dark side, after the traumatic war of Voxian agression.
ManaicStarSeed (MSS)- our newly appointed FAM, who was recently beack from a long exile.
That would be it.
I wish you success with your writing.
Zeit,
Gathering Storm ambassador in the Glory of War. |

Greetings from the Gathering Storm.
As you might have already known, Vox and the GS have recently begun talks in an attempt to end the conflict between us.
I'll just say that our team has decided that in order to end the war with Vox, they must leave the continent. This issue was presented to Vox, but was not discussed, as we have yet to recieve a response from them regarding this idea.
The public's opinion in this matter is also important for us. To be more precise and to the point: If Vox is to leave the continent, they must find have a chunk of land to settle on, this chunk of land would preferably be unclaimed territory, or an agreed upon location.
We wanted to ask you, what is your opinion in this matter, and if you have any suggestions for a suitable location
We would also want to know if you'd even support such a development, should it come into possible realization.
Cordially
Zeit, Gathering Storm's ambassador in the Glory of War |

I hope all is fine in the lands of the Glory of War.
In an effort to solve the problem of the loss you and other teams will suffer from in the event of a Voxian demise, I have come up with an Idea to provide you with Engineering, without relying on Vox.
We were informed by ND that they are working on Engineering, and would acquire approximately when Vox plans to. ND expressed their willingness to sell us the tech, and hence the following idea, this was not discussed with ND yet, but a PM was also sent to them regarding this
This includes ND selling the tech for a very low price, to compensate the loss of gold resulting from any downpayment Vox has recieved from you. GoW would have to back down from the deal with Vox, but you have already expressed interest in getting the tech from us, so I don't see this as a big problem.
We were thinking that insuring a source for Eng. for everyone interested, would reduce the foreign interest in Vox's prolonged survival, except for weakening the GS, of course.
I hope you can see the possible benefits you can have from this: a safe source for a tech you are now not so sure you could have, this will also allow you more freedom in dealing with us in the future, or as GF would have said: "take less heat".
Please tell me if you are interested, and if you think this could work with the other teams.
Cordially
Zeit, Ambassador to the Glory of War. |
Many subtlties here.
GS is cofortable enough with their relations with ND that they are asking them to 'greatly discount' the selling of Engineering. Consider that relationship confirmed from GS now as well. Whether this is a full alliance or simply good relations is impossible to tell yet. Guess the chat was more effective at drawing this out than I originally thought...
What did we give Vox for Engineering? Was it as part of our assistance? was it the 30 gold?
Anyway, ND would probably straight trade for Chiv, maybe even throw in a bit o gold...

OK, Ok.
I am back from my trip trying to get caught up on everything today. Ill get to the PBEM's tonight, I noticed them in my inbox, but didn't have time before work.
I did find something of mild interest in my PM box, though. I was asked not to relay the message, so I will place down the basics of it.
GS has challenged us (well, me particularly) to a battle of roleplaying/fun/story telling in the public forum. Glancing over there, it seems they have already begun. I don't know if they are intending to challenge everyone or not, but it is a good idea.
Ill have the next edition of my story out before the day is done. Feel free to begin your own, add seperate stories, whatever have you.
