Alpha Star Trek Sim discussion

[Nickswitz]

Just an FYI for everyone...given the timetable set by the Klingons an investigation is likely impossible in an IC sense. This is a crisis that will move quickly. There would not be time to assemble investigators, ship them to where they need to be and engage in the process necessary to render any verdict on the issue.

All you can really do is compare notes, different players have different information on this, hope people are not lying (or hope they are depending on your POV) and pick a course of action.

That was essentially my idea, however, no one has gotten back to me, however if Stitch gets up his post and pleases the Klingons then we'll have a full formal investigation.

Hell, the 9/11 report took forever. This would be nearly as bad. Evidence, such as there is, would be scattered across a bunch of places.

To just investigate what is public now you would have to send a team to QonoS to gather physical evidence and conduct interviews, one to Romulus to interview people and one to Carassia to interview people. And the discussion is to get 3 different powers at least invovled in the investigation. Governments can move quickly at times but reaching a meaningful conclusion in a month or even three is just not likely unless someone stumbles onto a smoking gun saying "HE DID IT" with someones picture on it.

Then you would have to assemble all the information and try to make sense of it. Then you would have to probably conduct more interviews to follow up anything you put together from the first round.

I just don't see this happening in the matter of a few months. I would say at best you are talking a year to even get 3 different government reps to agree on a preliminary report.

I'm posting now... well typing now.

We know full well that IU Klingons would never wait that long, regardless whether Deep wanted to or not.

[Tyyr]

Hell, even waiting a month given the distances involved you'd be doing good just to get the investigators where they needed to go much less do any real investigating.

[Deepcrush]

Whatever, I tried to be as nice about it as I could.

Nice statement Stitch. I now officially have a suspect Time will tell if I'm right or not.

Oh share share!!!!

This feels like a more dangerous game of FtF... but I was good at those.

Hm... that reminds me... to the FtF forum, away!

A suspect eh? I feel sorta like I'm in a marple novel.

[Mark]

I was going for Dixon Hill

Just so everyone knows, I probably won't be able to get on till around noon EST, unless I get lucky in the morning.

Since we are in a crisis and I want to simulate crisis decision making right now we are going to speed up the next turns due date. If you can't get the spreadsheet in by then not a huge deal. But military and diplomatic orders for the turn are due by Wen. at Midnight unless I get a compelling reason otherwise. Would prefer SS's by then but not required. They will be due Saturday, which will be the second of the three month turns, taking us through June 30 of the year. The first turn takes us through March 31st.

Just a reminder.

Also....the silence is downright creepy. Wonder what it means?

[Nickswitz]

Yeah, it's like the Klingons are thinking, and I'm not sure if they are planning on killing the Rommies or letting them live.

I just want to point out, in 5 weeks the Beta SIM has matched the number of Wars we've had in 30.
