... I'm away (Well, sleeping & working...) for about 2 weeks or so & Ninja is being silly again... FFS...

And Eno, to be honest, most countries have followed a more conventional route, with the most esoteric equipment being stuff like the LAUNCH grid. Your tech is highly esoteric, and such, replicating it is an interesting proposition. I don't understand trying to do so, as in the time required, Reach could have advanced further being innovative rather than directly copying...

Tomorrow I might start a bunch of projects that I've been way too lazy to bother doing...

I like to see myself as an amateur cryptologist.

Alright, I'll give you that one, I had no idea what he was going on about. But seeing now that they are anagrams, you seemed to overlook "Get" actually equating to "TGE", as in, Operation TGE Replica.

Original message details are unavailable.
So again, if you're serious about this, I am going to take it up with the BoSS.

Yeah because which rule is he breaking by doing this?

I would've LOVED to get rid of Darknis a whole lot earlier for copying all of my ideas, but it seems to be more of social faux pas then rule breaking, making it a matter the BoSS are not at liberty to make a decision on.

But come on, Ninja, you could've at least made it HFPE...

Technically speaking, he's not breaking a rule, as it doesn't say "you can't copy people's tech".

However, technically speaking , I wouldn't be breaking a rule if I sent his exo-Sol-system stars into supernova, cracked all his planets in half, shattered his Earth defenses, conquered what remained of Atlantis and press-ganged all his citizens into slavery forevermore.

And yet, I'm not allowed to do that. Which is the sort of rule I believe Eno is talking about - not the official ones, the unspoken ones everyone follows anyway.

Don't send people's stars into supernova. Don't crack their planets in half. Don't steal their tech (and let's not even get into the fact Atlantis has no idea how any of our technology works, and doesn't even know that three-quarters of it exists ). That sort of thing.

I'm 60% sure he's trolling to begin with, but I wouldn't put it past him to think this is somehow a good idea and then retract it into a trolling attempt later when he realises how actually colossally stupid it is.

As a result of the recent revelation of Atlantis's underhanded megaproject intending to copy the TGE's technology (which includes some of our own proprietary technology), our legal department has issued a cease and desist to the nearest Atlantian embassy.

Should our claims on international law be ignored, our corporation will attempt one more time to discuss the matter with Atlantian officials, but should that secondary attempt fail, we will bring to bear our own considerable array of technology which has not previously been seen in active operation.

HFPE except Atlantis:

Should you in fact be interested in attaining advanced technology we can talk further, but attempts to imitate any of our technology will be met with full legal and technomantic force by our corporation.

We do believe we may have technology both in our possession and in development that could be of interest in your goals however, so please consider carefully. We are a company after all- not a typical ruling body.

HFPE end
---------
HFPE except MAT Investors:

We are afraid to announce that our mutual properties may be at risk due to what our new Chairman Faron considers a foolish move by the Atlantian administration.

We would appreciate your support as we make moves to protect the rights of our developments as others attempt to make knockoffs of them from one of our partners.
HFPE End

HFPE except Nera:

Our new Chairman, Faron Teridax will be happy to meet with representatives of a major stockholder at your convenience to explain his vision for the future, including the future of the stock and assets of MAT LP.

HFPE End

OOG: I won't be finishing up the Faron thing at this rate, so yeah... meh.

Projects will be dealt with soon-ish.

Jokes on you, I already have plans if you did that.

Just cracked his planets in half? Not shattered them into many, many tiny pieces? Where's the fun in that?!?

Also, Shing! & Magery are both right in this... It isn't something the BoSS should get involved with, but it is still somewhat against the unspoken rules. So really all that can be done is to let it resolve itself. Or pour fuel on the fire. But that's not exactly a good idea right now... Is it?

"16. Members CAN NOT use their BOSS power to settle what is considered to settle their own business (for instance, a BOSS member trying to BOSS motion a rival's tech out of the game). ANY player can accuse a BOSS member for this, and an investigation will follow, during which time their motion will be suspended. If they are found guilty, the motion shall be struck down. "

sorry.

I don't know an official term for this, but since the idea is my nation doesn't have contact with anyone yet actually, consider this me giving my two cents, not my nation's word.

I don't really find spying reasonable or the right thing to do, as its incredibly immoral and will definitely get a lot of attention against the spying nation, but I find that if the nation wishes to spy it may do so under a balancing regulation.

200 years to do so is fairly balancing.

Furthermore, I recommend that (even though if it was HFPE, its not hard to catch spies. It wouldn't take but 15 years to catch on to be fair, really.) you take advantage of his lack of HPFE-ing and put an end to it early. How?

You're your own nation, you know what you'd do. :)

Ninja:

I already know you have some odd technology that somehow copies Atlantis into a parallel universe if it's destroyed, from what I remember of the project. But that doesn't stop me from then going to said parallel universe and repeating the process ad infinitum.

It also doesn't stop me from simply infiltrating Atlantis, finding out everything there is to know about the project, how it works, how to stop it working, how to sabotage it, how to wipe the copies, then taking care of all the loose ends and other such things so that it doesn't work, and then destroying you.

It's really quite simple.

You can stop acting like you're five, or I can end your 3+ years of progress in CYOC because you're too stubborn to know when to give up.

Your choice.
