My vote's for a shift forward to Q4 3400; Shroom's got the BEEEF coming up, for instance, and that's in Q4. But once we get to Q4, I think we need to commit to a jump to Q1 3401 in fairly short order- say, by the end of January or the first week of February.

Q4 is when I'm planning the end of the Shroom fighter story, so that works.

Another vote for Shep.

Why Shep?

As others say, why vote for the lesser of two evils?

As for myself, I vote Simon.

Someone said that the guy who plays Orks is absent, so I want someone to fight a war with. At the very least, I would expect Shep to start a war against the Orks near The Servian Republic, which I could then use to flank the Orks and take their space, and Shep won't be able to stop me due to losing many ships to the Orks.

I suppose the others have different reasons though.

What does his being mod have to do with it? He's also on the other side of the known universe.

What?

I am voting to give him the Serbian Republic, which is fairly close to me and the Orks.

Your entire logic stream doesn't even make sense!

It's not replacing the Servian Republic, it's replacing Wilkins' position as a game moderator.

I was unaware I needed to explain myself to someone who has a VI title.

Then how come you just did?

*sighs*

How, exactly, did people come to the conclusion I was talking about who would replace him on the map when we're all already on the map, and when I explicitly mentioned Timothy's status as alt-mod in the same line?

Moot point, because nobody is being "voted" to replace Wilkens' place on the map.

Then who is playing as the Serbian Republic?

Chaotic Neutral wrote:Then who is playing as the Serbian Republic?

Servian Republic, and right now nobody. I'm going to discuss with mods on whether to keep them or delete them, since they've had no involvement in wider storylines as of yet.

Right now, No-one. Just like I'm mostly inactive with the Kryptonian Empire. I have a few co-authored stories I'm working on, but I've been busy.

No one. It is either going into a supremely isolationist phase until Wilkens comes back or the game ends, whichever comes first.

Anyway, if my vote matters, I vote for Simon as a mod. He's a very level-headed fellow who seems to have a good grasp on how things should work here and, unlike me, I think he'll be able to make the commitment since I don't think he has a "kid" that would infringe on his time quite so much.

I think the only person who thought that was Chaotic Neutral.

Coup story's coming to a head. Another 2ish posts and it should be finished up. The next couple should have plenty of bloodshed and death!

Psychic dinosaur shock troops?

I KNEW I made the right decision allying with you!

There's a reason the NenAltKik isn't represented at the psychic games: all our psychics are indoctrinated shock troopers. I also have to say I grew quite fond of including psychic powers in the game after I considered a psychic allosaurus in power armor carrying the equivalent of a GAU-8 avenger.

Oh, I wasn't actually asking you. I'm sure we're all well aware that you're actually just classless enough to enjoy the aftermath of something like that.

The idea of Shep being a mod tickles me...

Psychic dinosauruses!
