Alpha Star Trek Sim discussion

Alrighty boss.

Especially if his diplomat is a tellerite

Look at it this way, in Beta I was well aware that Nick as the Romulans was telling the truth in regard to almost everything. He is a nice guy. He is not likely preparing a flotila of thaloron equipped cloaked ships to wipe out the UFP. But it was useful to me to portray it that way. Every comment he made that could be twisted I would twist because it suited my purpose at the time.

This is no different really. If one wishes to be offended by diplomatic communication it is easy to find a way to be offended and make a stink of it. It does not mean people are dumb or don't understand because it is not a debate about who is right or wrong.

A lot of people in the game get hung up on who did what, or who said what or so on. Those really are not the answers you are looking for. It should be A) What do I want to happen and B) How do I use/twist/lie/extort that out of the present circumstances.

Think back on the situation with the cloaking device sold by the FKI. People were concerened about which power the cloak was actually from. When it got blown up everyone should have started lying. If it suite your purposes to have it be a Klingon cloak then that is what it should have been. Same thing if it suited your purposes for it to be a Romulan cloak. Or a Federation Cloak. Or a Cardassian Cloak.

Of the list of 100 things that matter the Truth is about 75th on most things here. Its the great game of international affairs, it is about taking what happened and turning it to your advantage. Nothing more.

Would you kindly shut the hell up?

[BigJKU316]

Would you kindly shut the hell up?

Huh?

[Tyyr]

Let them run fat dumb and happy please. Last thing I need is people in Beta taking "International Politics for Dummies."

[Mark]

Holy crap, spit orange juice alert!!!!

Wow, people in the office are looking at me like I'm nuts.

[Reliant121]

You are.

[Mark]

Granted...but they're not supposed to know that. Only the crew from NA, and you guys are privey to that info

I think I'm starting to get the hang of this part.

[Deepcrush]

I'm not sure why you guys have to interpret anything. The statement was so simple even a Pakled could understand it.

But the way you said it indicated that I was holding them. The only way they get into my space is if I intentionally let them in. You also only mentioned my border as one they could have gone to.

You can mean it what ever way you wanted, but that's the way someone from the Federation would have seen it.

Wow, pms much?

[Lt. Staplic]

seriously? That's how your going to reply to me explaining why I'm saying what I'm saying IC. Go for it.

[Deepcrush]

Hey, IC thats how the KHC see's it. They'd get upset if they weren't busy laughing at you.

[Deepcrush]

Okay, KHC response is up.

[Deepcrush]

Okay, this is going well.

The Klingons are being nice and the Federation is poking for a war... Is anyone else thinking that we've landing in the mirror universe somehow???
