I think life got in the way.

I wonder if Michael's sources exist outside of his mind? A valid question I think as he is insistent on not providing sources.

_I spent most of yesterday semi conscious, drifting in and out of an uncomfortable sleep. At some point I was picked up by a freighter on its way to the system I was floating towards, where I slept properly for most of the journey.

_The colony is not Beta 12, it actually belongs to the Wardancers. They're an odd bunch to look at, it seems like half of them have to wear their helmet visor bubble things closed no matter what the atmosphere. For instance the local civic centre I was taken to is a dual atmosphere building, but no matter which half the Wardancers walked into half of them would close their visors while half opened them. And they all look different from each other, and I'm not talking about Asian or Indian different, I mean really really different.
  There was one tall one who was built like that Quantam guy, Rijs something, but still had the bright purple eyes and skin of a Wardancer. That seems to be the only thing they all have in common.

_I'm waiting at the port for a Quantam ship to take me home to Arrahe, I've been waiting for a couple of hours now. I wonder why the Wardancers don't use one of their own ships? I'm sure they could use the good press and political brownie points, they've been trying to be recognised as a seperate race for years now haven't they?
  I've just noticed that all of the Wardancers wear some kind of armor, all I can see of them is their heads. Weird.

_The Quantam ship is here, a patrol vessel, a pretty white and blue thing that looks a little like a stretched arrowhead with the Quantam symbol painted on top.
I asked the pilot what it meant, he says it's a representation of the Hydrogen atom. I don't get it.
This ship is fast! Either that or the inertia damping thing is busted, either way I can feel some real backforce against me as we speed to Arrahe. The pilot says we're capable of 75c at a push.

I have my sacred Octarine now (@_@)v-~

He was knocked out from behind it, knocked sideways to the tank.

The excitement will last for as long as it did the last time someone tried to cure Imperial Conflict's ailing health by merging two unpopulated galaxies.

Ultimately what Imperical Conflict needs is something that noone will do: A total re-working.
The universe, the races, their background stories, the whole game has the potential to become an awesome and popular game IF someone would only give it the work AND backing it needs.

I think it is about time Stefan accepted that he cannot give IC what it needs and let someone else have their turn, but unfortunately that will never happen because Stefan is famously weird about his precious PHP scripts.

Give the game the chance it deserves, give the game the chance you cannot give it, give the game to someone else; After all, you have had plenty of offers and they have all been turned down, and for what?

Imperial Conflict is dying, dying of cancer, a cancer called complacency that is pumping out toxins that are made of indifference and are thriving on the fatty goodness that is pride.

[lion king]pride, or [www.] Imperial Conflict, it's your choice.

WTF o_O

_So at wee small hour o clock I was awoken by a red alert (I didn't even know this old clunker had any alerts) which was soon followed by the Captain as he burst into his/my quarters and dragged me to one of the smaller cargo holds which held, amongst other rusting things, a lifepod. The Captain bundled me into it and told me not to get out, then ran out of the hold, the door sealing behind him.
The ship was hit twice, and then, for the brief moment that there was still air enough for it to thrive, there was fire.
I'm now still in the cargo hold, amongst all manner of scrap material, having just watched what must have been the crews lifepods being shot to pieces. I don't know who it is but I know it's not Raiders.

_Oh hell, I think they're looking for me.

That's 3 off the top of my head 2 of which are members of the G8.<

Japan. But to be honest I think it was a trade off between Japan and the West: We certainly helped improve their country in many ways, but the Japanese have this odd way of being a spiritual/cultural influence even when they're just sitting there.

I havent bothered to read most of the posts, because the majority of you for 1 don't live in America so i have no idea how  you can comment on the problems it has, and also the majority of you haven't learned to open your mind yet and see the truth ... this thread is dead.
