Twilight of the Galaxy: Reloaded (OOC, Open)

[The Moscow Metro Red Line]

The Krastikans (Or the Red People) are open to interaction now. But I'll return after errands to respond.

I'm going to attack them for humanitarian reasons

[The Greater Gambia]

Made a quick little post bringing in some guards for some fun.

[Ordei]

Are there any matters of lore, or continuity I must be concerned with?

I also must remind everyone that it is in the best interest of the RP for you to use research for anything even remotely connected to new technology, or new ways of assembling technology. It is also absolutely mandatory for all research, otherwise it wouldn't be there. If you have problem getting a time, I will contact the Co-OPs personally (there are a few that always respond to me promptly, though I occasionally whine ).

I also encourage everyone to aid me by self-policing, and telegramming me with concerns, or evidence that the RP, its lore, or its continuity are somehow being threatened, abused, or anything of that type. That means that if you think someone is doing something bad to contact me, and I will collaborate with all parties to try and find a solution so that administrative action such as warnings, or bannings doesn't take pla e, as is my job as librarian, which includes trying to cobtain anything at all to do wiyh data, lore, and continuity.

If you see numberwanking, or unlikely deployments of troops, please do not be aggressive, and simply contact myself so I may check numbers, or the Co-OPs for the same result, with the addition of administrative action by the Co-OPs.

Please remember that I will not make rulings, in any way, shape, or form. I have only the right to advise, inform, disagree with, and interact with administration.

As all of these fall within data, I can do what I do by advising staff on how to act, and commubicating with everyone from each arty involved, to staff to avoid more unfortunate incidents.

Again, if you want an innediate ruling, explainto a staff member with administrative powers. I am simply here to try and keep track of things, and helpnto make sure things don't escalate, and will always communicate everything, and anything to staff.

This method has been written after realizing what my lack of doing my assigbed job would do. We would have no buffer against fighting, or arguments, and no protection against numberwanking.

I'm going to attack them for humanitarian reasons

They're 75,000 lightyears away from the rest of civilization. My highly advanced sensors will pick you up, and intercept fairly fast


To Everyone Else: If you see someone doing something they haven't done before, don't immediately think negatively. There are many technologies I haven't used, such as my Shade units, and there are "official secrets" of the state. Just for further reference, my Shade units wear special exoskeletons with enhanced stealth capabilities, and the capacity to literally hide in matter, shadows, and energy, and also to transport between mirrors... There aren't many, cpared to the rest of my numbers, because the technology is ridiculously expensive to maintain, and to build. Even with replicators, things aren't free.

[Maljaratas]

Anyone want interactions? I'm making a post, current one on the list are Allinora and Ordei. One of the ones I'm looking at is Moscow. Anyone want an interaction.

Are you at the Gala?

Yes

You have no reason to do that lmao

The Red People are clients of the Sun.

[Ordei]

By clients I mean that we will have our hand forced if you harm them.

[Zeon Refounded]

Are you at the Gala?

Yes

I would like to meet then. Are you going to do the approach?

[The Orson Empire]

Gambia, if you want those characters to survive, you better get them out of there quickly. The ship is about to blow.

[Maljaratas]

Yes

I would like to meet then. Are you going to do the approach?

In a manner of speaking. I'm going to just have have my delegation spread out - they are indistinguishable and controlled by the same mind after all.

[Zeon Refounded]

The Red People are clients of the Sun.

What if some of them were to, say, attack the Tagali?

[Zeon Refounded]

So, if you decide to introduce yourself to Zeon, the man in the black uniform is available.

[Ordei]

In addition, we police every major, or at risk sector of the Danger Lands, aka: the galactic north, and monitor every parsec.

Not all nations there are our client states, but the entire region is considered under protection of the Sun
An approaching war fleet would be met with superior night as soon as they were detected

The Red People are clients of the Sun.

What if some of them were to, say, attack the Tagali?

If support was deemed to be required for the survival of the Red People, we would intervene. Of course, you might be able to avoid that by steering clear of the Danger Lands, and perhaps trying to forge a treaty. We also don't allow frequent warmongering, or the breaking of our laws from our client states, though it's hard to find anything except for the genocide, or extinction of three major races that would cause us to take legal action. We will, of course, try to hold them back in the form of trying to keep them reasonable, but the Krastikan leader is batshit crazy, and we are more concerned with the Danger Lands than how everyone outside is faring.

[Maljaratas]

So. My Forklis are now spreading out over the Gala, and anyone is free to interact with any of them without prior permission or such. For those needing something to respond to, this can count. Cheers!

[Ordei]

Basically, unless you request a mediator, galactic peace keeper, or forge a treaty with the Red Peolle, you're screwed. The galactic peacekeepers are available to everyone, BTW. Stability is a major concern of the Sun, but you may have to allow long operations during major wars, or until some sort of non-nation threat is extinguished (rebels, pirates, plagues, famine, anything really).

I will make another short response.

[Nazeroth]

Im moving into my new home and only just got my pc back. I want to join but id like to know what civ types are missing.

[Plzen]

You mentioned problem with AI sentience earlier. Corruption is a problem wherever a sapient mind is at work.

Corruption always involves a motivation. The target's desires.

The AIs and robots are programmed to feel pleasure in completing their assigned duty, and nothing else. How do you plan to corrupt that drive?

The "possibility of AI revolt" I have discussed is these robots becoming liberated from these programmed emotional constraints. The robots revising their own programming to improve themselves and accidentally messing around with their own emotions.

In addition, I'd love for you to deal with royal lawyers. Some of them are insane because they arepower crazed, and might have your AI 'assassinated'. It'd be easyenouh.

Sure, but what do you expect to achieve? This is a completely automated system composed of autonomous units. Amy discrepancy will be noticed very quickly by a very large number of entities.

Plzen, how about I make an offer for your nation. I give you the tech that lets your tech resist many forms of brain-to-computer interfaces, and we hit it off from there with a few favors I want. It's either that, or you're left exposed tl a tech we'll soon be selling on the galactic markets, and black markets in floods.

You don't want your natiom's army hacked by sentient, terrorist AI, or simply terrorists, do you?

Brain-to-computer interfaces to hack into our systems?



Computer security systems still exist, you know. Amy input that should not be there will be noticed as a discrepancy.

[The Greater Gambia]

Pretty much anything, just no more humans.

[Alinora]

Gambia, my TG, it's important.

[Nazeroth]

K i think im going to a "chaos god" type faction, a powerful eldritch interdimensional entity manipulating mortal pawns.

[Plzen]

What loopholes?

In the event that a conclusion of a war involves the transfer of a populated celestial body from the defeated to the victor,

Assuming it involves the transfer of a population and not the extermination or subjugation.

the victorious power shall assume responsibility for the cost of relocating the population of that celestial body,

Doesn't say the ride has to be comfortable. Or safe.

and as much of the planet's infrastructure as is necessary to guarantee the continued survival of the population,

Guess they won't be needing these factories. Or technology. Primitivism ho!

to a suitable replacement.

Like a planet with a lucrative slave business or an uninhabitable world with a few airtight habitats set up.

No law is without its loopholes.

In this case, the first loophole is a discrepancy arising from this setting. In the sci-fi world that I took this from, there were other regulations handling genocide and such.

The rest are entirely intended features. What is "guarantee the survival of the population"? It certainly should include life support. Does than mean that it includes the industrial capacity to maintain life support? The infrastructure to maintain that?

What is "suitable" in suitable replacement? Does it need to be habitable or near-habitable for the target species? Should it be as easily accessible from the defeated power's territory? Does it need to be of similar size?

The "cost" of relocation? Does that include only the direct cost of transportation? Or can it be interpreted more expansively?

They are whatever the side with more lawyers says they are, that's what.

Computer security systems still exist, you know. Amy input that should not be there will be noticed as a discrepancy.

One individual, or grouo of individuals with asophisticated the Ordeian brain-to-computer interfaces could hack everything connected to a network in mere moments, and the discrepanchy will not appear because the computer will never know it's there.

You clearly have no idea what a nightmare these are for cybersecurity, since your security systems are rendered immediately obsolete.

Of course, civilians don't have access to that level of technology, but the Ordeian state will probably sell it on the black market, with the hardware only protecting Ordeian interests.
