Boring and easy game

[Sebastian]

Playing as moriggi. 1 moriggi 7 hiver game. 100 years of NAP with the hiver empires. They are at war. It's not my problem. I'm just making money.

The UFO peacekeeper moron appears. Lots of trouble. Again not my problem. I saw a lot of hiver ships get turned into ash over my homeworld. Lots of death. My people are angry. I have hivers and morig's. Birdos. Feathers in my polity.

Look, I set up another trade route. It's just business. Every one of my planets has 7 gates in orbit. Every 100 years

Not my problem. I'm developing something new. Something nasty. Slavery of artificial beings. They were done before they became sentient. My people have been in space for 5000 years. There might be no political solution to the hiver controversy. I could in theory destroy them. In theory my technology is 1 level higher than hiver. In reality they have 7 gates on every world. Stagnation. Peace. Trade. So it always were, so it could.

In 2 century of war no hiver has defeated any hiver. The hiver conflict is without purpose or end. Queen vs Queen on an empty chessboard. Morig do not die. Morig live and flourish. Hiver on morig world live in peace. Every hiver lives for his queen. And every queen lives for the Morig.

conclusion: don't allow human. not even once

[Sebastian]

PS when von neuman attack a morig world with 7 hiver fleets in congress they puke out 10000000000 pyramids lol. FYI. Von Neuman supremacy. I have an idea for a playthrough:

CTHLULU cultists (von neuman)..... play SOTS with the explicit goal of heralding the VN construct to as many worlds as possible. You win when the last star disappears

[Sebastian]

There's nothing more pathetic than seeing an entire wing of vipers (*drones) get vaporized out of existence by VN phaser beams

66 drone fighters flying thru space.... 2 seconds after making contact... they gone

Man, this brings back memories... Still the best space strategy to me.

I don't understand the conclusion you drew from Morrigi-Hiver game - why no Humans?

[Sebastian]

As a human, from Earth, I understand your attitude. There's a whole world of bugs out there son. They nuked Paris. I saw it with my own eyes (in the loading screen).

Here's my understanding:

- Morrigi: oldest xenos in space.

- Hivers: Second oldest

- Tarks: Third. Don't know how good they have it.

- The rest of us: Launching torps. We have one shot to make the galaxy ours. Don't fuck it up.

In my current game we've contacted and absorbed 3 different hiver planets. When you contact a xenoid world and they surrender, set climate hazard to the local species. They didn't agree to this war. If the xenoid empires start throwing their weight around and take these planets, it's no loss to us but the hippies on their systems will start crying about war crimes.

Meanwhile here's my take on stealth tech and maskirovka: FLT spy beams: useless. Spy ships: Not bad if you need to know the enemy disposition. Data correlation: lets you know if they're on to your cloaking tech and / or bio weapons program:

Deepscan: this is the core tech that our operatives at Spy HQ are focused on. Deepscan combined with a deep space spy station is the technological basis of our anti VN science mission.


Update to my game with 1 morig and 7 hivers: everything is going according to plan, but we got the Space Cop and he killed about 100000000000000000000 hivers as part of his cop duties. In theory this should make the low IQ bug monsters love me more. In a multiplayer game this strategy would not work.


To answer your question: humans, tark, and indeed zuul are the sole source of evil in the galaxy. Without these interlopers there can be peace (internecine bug wars notwithstanding) in the local system. Never forget.

Liir are the oldest xenos in space of the SotS races, it’s just most of them don’t know it. Some of the GMs are older still.

Hivers and Tarka have warred plenty amongst themselves and each other. And have you seen some of the Morrigi leader names? Plenty of blood on their talons too, we just know less about it because it’s lost to history.

[Sebastian]

Let's be honest morrigi are older than liir. Yeah I know about the Sul******. Morrigi don't start with 4 free high IQ techs for nothing. Stealth tech. Drones. Morig are the only people who's Life Path is permanently defined by space travel. We all know male moriggi go to space... femoids stay on the planet. The liir are the exact opposite. They hate space, they hate it so much they call their space marines "The Black" and deny them of their liirmanitee. Name one single random alien menace based off the liir. There's only one. Moriggi have 3. Case closed.

[ZedF]

Maybe actually ask Kerb what the lore is next time rather than spouting your own assumptions and turning them into propaganda statements.

Siren and He Who Shapes are contemporaneous with the ancient Morrigi and they are far from the oldest of the Lords of Winter; in fact He Who Shapes is the youngest. Morrigi have crawled from terrestrial cradles to the stars at most twice, Liir have done so dozens of times over countless millennia. If you are looking to determine which species is the longest of the SotS races in space, the Eldest has the Morrigi beat easily, and probably by orders of magnitude.

But there are older things than even him. The Peacekeeper is an artifact of the first galactic civilization and is probably the oldest thing in the SotSverse, though it’s hard to say for sure. The ages of the System Killer and Locusts are indeterminate so it’s impossible to compare, though they are probably older than the Morrigi. Certainly the VN are older than the Morrigi; the latter refer to them as ‘ancient machines’ even by their standards. And it’s hard to tell if time even has the same meaning to the Puppet Master as it does to everyone else, since it’s dimensionally phased and partly not in the SotSverse at all.

[Sebastian]

OMG impossible to believe. Spoken like a monoperceptual tunafish. omg. You: "i was here first... why is that asteroid flying toward my refinery???"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7KCb-O20Fg <- tunas when they meet the real great old ones

The Screamers imply a space faring culture before contact with the old great ones. If the great ones came across a juvenile morig race.... the morig culture would not have survived the onslaught. In fact, the morig seem generally unprepared for interstellar war. If they had developed in a STL context like the most noble Tark and Queen.... they would not have lived. The only explanation for the morig total naievete and failure to develop combat systems on par with those of the most High and most Respected Tarkan Empire is.... an originality.

One thing we can agree on. The assumptions of SUL KA are naive and pathetic in comparison to the connivances of the greater beings...

Fear and hate are characteristic of the liir.... a species brought against their will into the great game. Unlike the morig.. Who were born for interstellar life... whose destiny is greater than mere conquest...

The sulka will never be forgiven for their crimes. but they are one horror of many

Morrig only crawled once... once on earth... once in space. And thereafter. Unlike the water beings who die with every breath, who hate!

[ZedF]

Your roleplay of Morrigi is very weird and inconsistent. Lore-accurate Morrigi respect all races to a similar degree (including Liir, but excepting Zuul) if they are modern Morrigi, or they are dismissive of all other races if they are more like their ancient forebears.

I guess the main thing is you keep making mistakes about the lore, but you don’t seem to listen when I try to help you improve your knowledge. Instead you take an argumentative roleplaying tone even though I am not engaging with your roleplay.

I have to admit I find your diatribes off-putting. I don’t think you are reading the lore correctly and I don’t really think there is indeed much we can agree on here, so I’ll leave you to your propagandizing.

[balti knights]

pettifogging ... again z?

[Space Voyager]

Heh. Role play and let role play, as the old saying goes.

[ZedF]

If he wants to roleplay a racist Morrigi, he can. I just explained that I wouldn’t be responding to it any longer.
