Hmm... Hello everybody. Starting back again (really am this time!), haven't done any RP'ing in a long while and I'd like to get writing again.

Beginning with the end of AquinasNet this time, Aquinas will be replaced by a new government, I've moved the nation of "Kuat Industries" into TEP which will replace AquinasNet as soon as the plug is pulled. :P

Sorry if I jump in, but... well, considering Pax's prompt reply, I'd say this thread messes with stuff og "a long time ago", when TEP was a bit younger.

Obviously, nothing against it. But well, I suppose many of we newbies do feel a bit lost, because we probably lack 99% of the relevant background.

Mind throwing in some infos about your nation, HC? I'm not hoping to see a three volumes "all you want to know about HC" work, but... just something!

Correct me where I'm wrong, HC, but I think it went something like this...

The Aquinas Network was a self-aware artificial intelligence that gained control of the nation of Aquinas. It strictly controlled the humans who lived there ('organics'), restricting them to five environmentally-sealed megacities where their influence was gradually phased out in favor of machines.

The Aquinas Network went to war with the Pax Hive during the third EP War, although it was something of a footnote to the greater conflict of the Xiopothans, Dovakhanese, Pax, Vladistockans, East Malaysians, and so forth all beating the stuffing out of each other. After the war was over, the staunchly atheistic Aquinas Network invaded the (inactive) religious-based nation of Seekers of G-D. Though the RP in which the invasion occurred never was completed, the current thread reveals that it failed, aggravating an existing problem of religious extremists* among Aquinas' organics.

*I may be wrong about this, since the only perspective we have on them is that of the Network, which regards all religious believers of any kind as dangerous extremists.

Damn'it, Drak... I'm sure you've just ruined the whole thread HC had in mind, with an uber-intelligent robot shaped as a coke-bottle trying to take over the whole TEP!

It wasn't that long ago was it..? Okay, maybe it was. Though I don't think you can call yourself a newbie. :P

But yeah, Kand has got it right- except the nation was called Kuat before the AI took over- they were involved in the war on the side of Krech and Vladistock, though largely peripheral. I thought it was best to have ended the war with Seekers, being how they've since been replaced...

My intention behind destroying AquinasNet is to allow for a new start if you like, though there are linkages with the past. And Reziel, I believe that Kandarin is infact a computer program running in cyberspace... :P

Heh, I'm not sure Kuat Industries will be that much nicer, though they will be (almost) organic, I mean, human. I notice you've asked to expand into the Rylian plot, funnily enough I'd been looking at that plot myself... Perhaps you'd be willing to share? I'd take the Northern half and you could have the southern half. On the bright side, it means your border with the Pax won't be massively increased (though mine will be... :().

Damn! My sekrit plan has been revealed! :P

Actually, I stole the name Kuat from Star Wars, though I will have to try and find a way to fit "Kuat Coke" in there somewhere...

Ah, no he has no physical system core, you see it means the only way to deat Kandarin would be by turning off the interwebs itself (so you can't attack him with an EMP briefcase, he's better than AquinasNet).

(*chuckles*) just joking, my friend! A bit of overreaction on both sides, therefore no offence taken! ;)

And about Kand... uhm... a tricky procedure. But we should work on it. You never know what can happen with these artifical intelligences!!!

Some of us are old.

A few of us literally span years.


To put it into perspective.

I remember when there was no map.

I remember passing the million man mark and it being an accomplishment.

I am older than the FPS.

I think of the original members of the EP, only Loop and Codex surpass me in age... (correct me if I am wrong.)

I remember making the ADN ads when the invasions were imminent.

I remember when Everyone thought I was a man.

I remember when everyone thought I was a woman.

I remember when www.theeastpacific.com didn't exist.

Haor, just posted on the map request thread that i agree with sharing that plot with you. And once you start your industry, iŽll want a coke :)

Me, a plot-taker! How absurd! Rez, youŽre so wrong...

...and soon: The country of Drakkengard 2! To be placed on the mainland among all those white unclaimed plots. Guess iŽll request 6 or 7 of them just for start! First the TEP, next da World!!! Bwahahaha!

p.s.: Good luck with the hive, Haor :tu:

Just to explain, my thinking was that Kuat Industries would have had to left the country whilst the AquinasNet was running things, so setting up shop next door in Rylian during that time would have make sense.

Also, to explain quickly a little bit more about Kuat Industries, the company is run by the Kuat family- the original royal bloodline of Kuat- and as such has vast financial reserves. It retained influence over the civilian government of Kuat even after the imperial house was overthrown and democracy installed, through its commercial assets which they were able to hold onto. Its primary concerns were heavy and defence industries (particularly research), it being the primary supplier to the Kuat military (as well as exporting to other countries), though it had interests in most sectors of the economy.

Guess weŽll have competition for more than Rylian, as arms manufacturing is one of Drakkengard main industries and we also export... But at least this will motivate both sides to improve tech faster.

This "setting up shop next door in Rylian" you mentioned was pacific? Or more like a military invasion?
