Psst, you dropped a moon on their homeworld. Might have something to do with it.Fingolfin_Noldor wrote:The Imperium has no idea how the Tau became the Jews of the 35th Century.Shroom Man 777 wrote:That puts you in Fin's Bad List I'd bet.
We didn't. We melted the crust with hours long bombardment.Darkevilme wrote:Psst, you dropped a moon on their homeworld. Might have something to do with it.
I noticed. And the quote too.Shroom Man 777 wrote:BTW, I also used the name for the Bragulan you mentioned in your wiki article.
Housing Tau refugees increases the likelihood of Moons impacting your homeworld. Hmm...I think some people shouldn't so openly brag about these things.Darkevilme wrote:Psst, you dropped a moon on their homeworld. Might have something to do with it.
I wouldn't mind moving a celestial body.Darkevilme wrote:For shame, nothing says 'fuck you' like dropping their moon on them and you passed up on the option?
though wait, are we allowed to move minor celestial bodies steve?
Yes, we are. PMed you on how to get into it.Tanasinn wrote:Just curious - are you guys accepting any new players at all? I can't find and posts that say yes/no either way, so I figured I'd ask.
I was meaning human majority or controlled-nations with a major alien minority (up to and including entire races under their sovereignty), not just "Oh, I have a few hundred thousand Tau refugees on one of my crapsack colony worlds". I mean, given the totality of that race's destruction (both the main genocide and the fact that the Tau refugees on Dilgrudar were exterminated to the last child by the Dilgrud at the end of the Second War) I find it hard to believe that beyond the Atlanteans there are major eight or nine digit populations of Tau in other states. Especially any state in range of the Tau homeworld, since they would probably have had bad dealings with the Tau during the attempted genocide in the Imperium (one ponders if the Tau respected any kind of neutral rights or even acknowledged Human states as neutral in that war) and then have to dwell with the Imperium near their frontiers.Ryan Thunder wrote:The Union has non-human minorities, including Tau refugees.Steve wrote:States with alien minorities consist of the Solarians, Klavostan, New Anglia, the Federated Ascendancy, Umeria, Severus (Wilkens' Severians), the Outlander Commissions, and.... that's it, I believe.
He can't communicate with Kordis until after Kuun-Lan gets to the Pendleton side of the Gap, near the Acker System.Force Lord wrote:Steve, your turn at last.
Katr_Kana, I'll soon have Forg communicate with Kordis and tell him what happened. I still intend for Kordis to arrive in Pendleton for the Datton, so your shuttle can continue it's present course.
Oh yes. It'll take 2 days for them to get through the Gap. Inside the Gap, no communications beyond simple text messaging is possible, audio and video would simply require too much energy to force through the shoal interference.Force Lord wrote:He can't use long-range communications?
EDIT: Should I retcon it as happening after Forg and Shetty finish their chat?
Ah, yes, well, I'll correct myself to say that there are alien minorities, but not in statistically significant numbers.Steve wrote:I was meaning human majority or controlled-nations with a major alien minority (up to and including entire races under their sovereignty), not just "Oh, I have a few hundred thousand Tau refugees on one of my crapsack colony worlds".

For example of what I meant b "alien minority", here is my population breakdown for New Anglia:
Population: 330 Billion People (248.2 Billion Humans, 34.5 Billion Dorei, 34.9 Billion Trill, 12 Billion Thanagarians, 400 Million Members of Other Species)
81.8 billion out of 330 billion is just under a quarter of the Anglian population, far more significant than the implied population of "Tau refugees" in most states I'd imagine. Hell, I might have some community of Tau five or six digits (maybe even seven altogether) in size on one of my Colony worlds, but they wouldn't even register as a statistically-significant demographic on that world alone (which has a population of about 3-4 billion), let alone my entire Empire.
No obejections, Steve. I'll do my best.Steve wrote:Oh yes. It'll take 2 days for them to get through the Gap.

Also, if you have any objections to my new post's elements, go ahead and raise them. We can talk via PM if you want. Though I might not reply immediately, about to go make something to eat.

Sorry about that...Moved your banter posts from the Roll Call thread to here.
