Thanks for joining the Confederation of Democratic Worlds. I am General Rak, Prime Minister. As for your rank, we'll have to communicate by e-mail. BTW- you get two ranks, a political and military ranking.

I think that it would be a good idea for us to start discussing the major plotlines we wan't to include, and also to invent new ideas for in-story weapons/outfits/ships for our governments.

Hmm... I hope this thing gets up soon...

Some things I would like to say:
NO new weapons/outfits/ships!

Could we have President (or Emperor, Priest, whatever) elections for each government? Like, a term is two weeks; the most of President can serve is two consecutive terms. But if that Pres. wants to serve, say, a term after the new Pres. has been elected, he can be put on the 'ballet'. This way no one will feel singled out. :frown:

'Kay? think about it.

But IIRC, you're in the Olympus system, which means you won't have to worry about me directly. You will have to worry about mercs, though, unless you want to cut a deal before this starts. I'm not opposed to having additional allies.

Ah, good, by the time we meet I think i'd have a decent amount of power already. About alliances, we'll see...

Oh and pardon my stupidity, but can you define IIRC?

I have a hard time envisioning you having better than average power on page 1.

a) if you don't want your government to design new ships, that is fine by me.

Sure you can run your government like that, but the official position of the Confederation is that governments should have organizational freedom. BTW- STOP THE SMILE ABUSE!

Are you sure? You'll have to compete against the financial resources of the confederation and the rebellion and they can pay much more than you could. You'd have to offer some nice benefits in addition to the pay if you are going to be able to compete effectively against them.

Is there any chance we could get this started sometime in April or May? I know everyone is busy with school, so am I, but the work load gets a little lighter towards the end of the semester (with the exception of finals week )and I am afraid that I might end up with some commitments around mid June. If this is not possible I understand, maybe I can put my fleet under Rak's command for a few weeks.
