Ladies and gentlemen, a few key points.
- In the past few days, we've successfully Dominioned Taloraan (for Tibanna gas and TibannaX stealth fuel), Yalara (for cloaking devices), Rakata Beta (for soldiers and the second biggest shipyards in the Unknown Regions), Phu (for a line to the Core and a better position relative to OP), and Dasid Anya (the most heavily populated planet in the Unknown Regions). We've done this with fortress building, royal weddings, podrace diplomacy, and cultural sensitivity.
- It's now time to slow down. We've accomplished a ton and gotten some major IC assets for the faction, but if we keep going with this little burst, we'll start leaving people behind, and we don't want that.
- As a result, our next few dominions and faction threads will be slower-paced. For example, our Dominion of Soledad has the following goals; complete them at your leisure.
Eliminate the rebel leaders
Eliminate the Countess (Planet Ruler) and her forces
Capture/ secure Armories, Drone Control Facilities and Birthing Factories
Securing the Capital City
Secure/destroy fleet in orbit
Our next big dominions/faction threads/dev threads will be Quintas (a black hole where we're going to build a research station), we absolutely need to do a Sabacc tournament Dominion for me and @[member="Lucien Cordel"], I hear @[member="Zaiden James-Greyson"] has some killer ideas for the Red Nebula, and an as-yet-undecided world where we're going to take our time and build a proper fortress/Force Temple, as we've discussed.
- When we build that fortress, you're all invited to spend your posts customizing your portion of the place, making it exactly what you want. Holographic training, alchemy forges, torture chambers -- the sky's the limit.
- In cooperation with the leaders of OP, @[member="Sargon Vynea"] and I have begun brainstorming a new way to run war on this board, and we may be field testing that soon in the Neutral Zone. It'll be the sort of thing that's driven and defined by you guys, and I think you'll like it.
- Also, because of our audacious, outrageous dominion of Phu, our allies the Atrisians are looking at us with great suspicion, and the Omega Protectorate considers our non-aggression pact dead. Just so ya know.
- Also, special recognition goes to @[member="Pandeima"], for building a cloaked, hypermatter-powered podracer; @[member="Dranok Lussk"], for getting dumped at the altar by a cannibal alien princess; @[member="Isis Fontana"], @[member="Zaiden James-Greyson"], and @[member="Elijah Rowlin"], for leading us all through the Great Maze on Dasid Anya; @[member="The Plague Doctor"], for attending a wedding in a massive mask; @[member="Lucien Cordel"], for getting Member of the Month for his record-shattering amount of likes on a post wherein he named his slave 'Dranok'; @[member="Mikhail Shorn"], for 'oops'; @[member="Morna Imura"], for the winning Fringe logo submission; @[member="Valik"], for building the nastiest podracer ever and dosing an immense wedding cake (and his bosses) with Bavo Six; @[member="Sargon Vynea"], for running the best Dominion in recorded history; @[member="Dharma Vessia"], for using Bando Gora drugs on an entire planet; anyone else I may have forgotten in my befuddled state...
- And Shinju Ayasha, for screwing a cannibal alien bride, then stealing said bride; eating the former maid of honor and taking her place; becoming Empress of Rakata Beta; using Bando Gora drugs on her own homeworld; and all manner of other excellent nastiness. Bravo, Shinju.
