Just kidding. I'll have one set of orders in soon.

das · Jun 02, 2008, 10:02 PM

Hopefully not.

TerrisH · Jun 02, 2008, 10:36 PM

OOC: hmm, good point. I'll clarify it later. maybe turn it into an internal memo. basically, we are colonizing 151-056A with robots, and we recommend you do not try to colonize without telling us first for your safety.

alex994 · Jun 02, 2008, 10:45 PM

OOC: Just bomb Sonty Corporation!

TerrisH · Jun 02, 2008, 10:54 PM

OOC: just try it, you might be supprised how it turns out.

alex994 · Jun 02, 2008, 10:56 PM

OOC: Seriously, with that attitude...

I'll just go on ahead and say (PM1) yes, because I don't particularly disagree with anything, and (PM1+2) that America was already paying and going to pay its nonmilitary debt to ASTRIS this turn and the last (if the update is to be believed) even without the prodding.

OOC: I'll accept the first part, but the second part doesn't mean anything to me as an answer. There is a quota to fill. Can you meet the outlined requirements or not?

flyingchicken · Jun 03, 2008, 08:04 AM

OOC: I guess. I mean, I don't know their costs relative to American economy. I'm thinking only Chandrasekhar knows for sure (though other very inquisitive players might), but, of course, I'll be sure to have that little line in my orders where I refer him to you and say "fill quota if possible" or something to that effect.

Welcome to the Alliance for Settlement Transport, Research, Implementation and Security, or ASTRIS. ASTRIS is humanity's foremost representative and active implement for the colonization of space. Your interest in its endeavors is appreciated, and we hope you enjoy your stay.

Japan
Republic of India
Republic of Indonesia
Republic of Iran
Republic of Korea
Russian Federation
State of Israel
United Mexican States
United States of America

ASTRIS utilizes a unique, multi-variate matrix for classifying planets for human habitability and evaluating their classification. Included among the criteria are surface temperature, atmospheric composition, surface pressure, seasonality, gravity constant, and other factors deemed necessary for the well-being of any potential colonist. All of these are compared against the baseline natural environment for humanity--Earth, albeit in prior to industrialization.

At present, ASTRIS classifies any given planet into one of five possible categories, each of which is summarized utilizing a Latin title:

Terra Aequa - "Equal Land"
Terra Approxima - "Close Land"
Terra Apta - "Suitable Land"
Terra Inhospita - "Inhospitable Land"
Terra Hostica - "Hostile Land"

Systems are in turn issued a grade corresponding to their highest-rated planet, although the system classification is prefixed with "Stella" instead of "Terra," signifying the greater scope of the classification.

At present, ASTRIS does not endorse the colonization of any body falling below the grade of Terra Apta, due to the documented expense and difficulty of terraforming such bodies and the strain such efforts exert upon limited resources when conducted in a newly established colony.

ASTRIS member states have entered into the organization in recognition of the utility of cooperatively pooling resources to achieve aims that are otherwise unattainable individually. The chief goal of all ASTRIS member states is in the successful establishment and nurturing of an extra-solar colony designed to promote and safeguard the cultural heritage of the state in question.

All member states are required upon joining to submit their baseline requirements for such a colony. Their needs are then factored into the overall ASTRIS mission plan, and in return for material or financial allocation to assist their fellow member states, the organization as a whole endeavors to meet that requirement.

At present, the following ASTRIS member states have unfulfilled requests of the indicated nature, as ranked by quality and priority, in that order:

Japan: 1x Terra Aequa
United States of America: 1x Terra Aequa
Canada: 1x Terra Approxima
Republic of Korea: 1x Terra Approxima
Republic of India: 1x Terra Approxima
Republic of Indonesia: 1x Terra Approxima
United Mexican States: 1x Terra Apta
Republic of Iran: 1x Terra Apt
Republic of Indonesia: 1x Terra Apta
Republic of India: 1x Terra Apta

Conversely, at present the following ASTRIS member states have had their requests fulfilled, either fully or partially:

Russian Federation: 1x Terra Aequa (Zenit, 2122)
Commonwealth of Australia: 1x Terra Approxima (Victoria, 2131)
Federative Republic of Brazil: 1x Terra Approxima (Amazonas, 2129)
State of Israel: 1x Terra Approxima (Zion, 2134)
Republic of India: 1x Terra Apta (Hastinapur, 2126)

It is also notable that although not required for membership, all ASTRIS member states are currently members of the Colonization and Applied Use of Space Treaty International Committee.

LC: Why is this a PreNES again?

das · Jun 04, 2008, 09:48 AM

Because it comes before the main part and is played with simplified rules over compressed periods of time. Why did you think?

Angst · Jun 04, 2008, 12:13 PM

sorry for the weird double post

Well, I was just curious. A pre-NES does not normally tend to last 48 pages.

Niklas · Jun 04, 2008, 01:09 PM

Pre-AFSNES certainly did. How many other Pre-NESes have there been really?

Symphony D. · Jun 04, 2008, 03:27 PM

OOC: Well, I can tell nobody bothered reading it since nobody found the Easter Eggs. Whatever. If any of you damn fools try running for a colony we declared for again only to once more find yourselves beaten to it (I'm looking at you, Lord_Imperialist; you have enough damn rocks already and you will be getting more than just a stern letter if you try that again), can't say as you weren't full well and warned.

Indeed, das is quite correct. The main NES will be much more detailed in all aspects.

I found some Easter Eggs (I think)!

Anyway, I'm setting the deadline at nine days from this post. This NES should be able to proceed at a much faster pace from then on.
