But we do that because we don't want to annoy the nice Russians with the nuclear weapons. :D Confed seems a lot more blase about Kilrathi feelings, all the way up setting up mining operations in the debris of their sacred homeworld. I don't see Confed map makers kow-towing to the Kilrathi in...

Re: marine Or if you really wanted to live dangerously, call them nancy boys. :D Best, Raptor

Well, if there were Kilrathi areas hostile to Confed, I would have thought it was more likely that those areas were clearly marked, not less likely. It would lessen the chances of border clashes and such. Best, Raptor

The story set just after ROTJ is called the Truce At Bakura, and is written by Kathy Tyers. The Courtship of Princes Leia is set a while after ROTJ and revolves around, well, the courtship of Princess Leia. :D Best, Raptor

Well, every Kilrathi system shown on the WC:P map is designated as part of the Assembly of Clans, as opposed to the human systems, which are designated both Cofed and Union of Border Worlds. Also, keep in mind that Confed seems to have free reign of Kilrathi space, and I doubt they would be...

Eh? Here's what I said in my post on the Aces board: "First of all, we should check with Av whether he wants those stories to be official or not, as he didn't offer an opinion in the last thread. He might be perfectly with them as Indyies. Second, the last club wide vote we had (the...

Re: OK... Well, for starters, the Andorrans are a quiet, isolationist faction that have no effect on the rest of the Universe. They may not be canon, but there's nothing to stop us sticking them into a corner and ignoring them if we want to. On the other hand, a resurgent Kilrathi empire armed...

Re: mmmm.... Yeah, I know that feeling. :) This has to be said, though. The Aces seem to be starting down the road where we blur continuity beyond all recognition, and that's a trend I don't like at all. Best, Raptor

The Illusion of War is an indy (for the benefit of non-Aces, an induvidual story written by a club member rather than a club effort), and hence has no effect on the club storyline. The destruction of the Andorrans never took place in the club timeline, and the same goes for the idea of an...

Tsk, Tsk. Troy is Troy carter, aka Catscratch. I would have thought he was annoying enough to stick in anyone's mind. :D R'deck was introduced for the first time in this story, so we'll have to wait and see. Kshirak was a character in a previous (non-HTL) story that Av wrote. He tried to...

Ah yes, Auckland University. The place for any Kiwi who can't make it into Otago. :D Best, Raptor (Grinning, ducking and running very fast)

Re: Writing I would definitely love to see a new PBM in the club. For one thing, it would be good for those who want to write. For another, a little competion between storylines is always good, because it spurs you to try harder. The big reason that we hit the ground running when we started HTL...

Well, we'll just have to wait and see. :D Best, Raptor

Heh. A storyline as big as HTL would get stale pretty fast if weren't always on the lookout for new ideas. :) The way I see it, the main storyline should be pushing forward, but we're always interested in sub-plots and story arcs to spice up the basic "humans vs bugs" plot. Best, Raptor

I have absolutely no problems with pushing the timeline ahead where it will contribute to good writing and an exciting storyline. The Border Worlds as they're written in HTL are a good example of that. We haven't seen anything of them post WC4, so how they're in 2681 is a matter open to...

Re: First off the top of my head... Hmmm. Okay, I'll start the ball rolling on the insults. I'm sure others can do better, though. :) HG trooper: Tan puppet, Jarhead Highlander: Vulcan, Robot Steel: Human Shield, Sitting Duck TASC: Space Force Reject Cadre: Dog Soldiers, Cannon...

Suggestion noted, Beergod. The Free Republic of Landreich is a definite possibility for a cameo in the Finale. ;) Best, Raptor

Re: Word... Killing a canon character like Kruger in a PBM is generally not a good idea. We Aces learnt that the hard way with Blair. :D I tend to agree with you though, I'm not much for guts and glory characters who always manage to win. I prefer to writer my characters as thinkers. One of the...

Hmmm. Maybe you could provide a brief description of the uniform, badges, equipment and typical behaviour of each of these units. That would make it a lot easier for people to come up with nick-names. Best, Raptor
