cestvel Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Contact ValarClans@aol.com [Tango] And you didn't? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And it seems the Watchers are the ones that are trespassing. So take it lightly and contact them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEernest Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 And I thought I came over as hostile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clan Elder Giff'ar Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 Contact ValarClans@aol.com [Tango] And you didn't? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And it seems the Watchers are the ones that are trespassing. So take it lightly and contact them. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> [Wings fluttering in agitation] And my foreign relations people made me wait so long for that initial contact too.... Patiently waiting for that subspace message to arrive, even though an obviously agressive empire decides to explore into our range "Watchers # 2159 [A Holographic Image Of Your Home System]"..... And all I read now is 'oh, we were attacked by an agressor" and still no messages..... In the previous cycle you met one of our WP pickets with exactly the same request. With no means to contact you, we waited, and waited, and waited. You then continued your agressive exploration deeper into our range with the clear intention of using that information to attack us. So, I acted in self-defense and ordered a slightly larger wing-ship to interpose itself and discourage your attack. Talk to us. Let us roost together and explore the real meaning of "peaceful". Trade opportunities exist. Mutual agreements are possible. But if you continue to attack us and encroach upon our hunting grounds then we will defend ourselves. Sincerely Clan Elder Giff'ar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The galaxy needs more avians! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> avians smavians.. we all know the really cool characters are winged reptiles! takeda <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Then we believe we might be able to find that you are both potential friends! We are listed in the old Empire Contacts thread (another reason we would have hoped the Watchers would have contacted us). You may be interested to know that, following extensive exploration of old archeological sites, we have discovered that we are an evolved form of an ancient Terran species - the Pteranodon. Thus we count ourselves both as birds and reptiles! Would you believe it, we also found some written texts that appear to be some form of historical novel, but we are uncertain to the truth contained therein???? (With due thanks to Anne McCaffrey) Clan Elder Giff'ar PS Still no contact from the Watchers - our suspicions are further confirmed......

EternusIV Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 Whoa LOL As a previous ward of this position, I can only say good luck (to both sides it seems) Try: psmarkov@yahoo.com if you dont hear from him directly PS= I'm certain you both share a border with a third party as well, so perhaps diplomacy could be made through that angle too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandaemonium Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 ...I..Here we had a couple of nice predators prowling, circling, preparing for a knock-down, drag-out, claw-and-fang battle, when in steps .The Plant. to mess it all up with a peaceful approach. Ugh. ..II..So let's get all of the winged reptiles together for 'Wings Over the Warp Web.' (I even kept the alliteration.) I suppose we could let the mammalian and avian fliers in too, but do we have to include gliders? (Are there any gliders?) .III..At our size, we might be the equivalent of an interesting butterfly for Sha'Thar to chase, if she's feeling frisky. Hardly a snack. - the Pandaemonium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLEernest Posted March 16, 2006 Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 Most alien races are poential allies but flyers espically. Only those who have experienced it can appericate the unbound freedom of flight. Once you know this joy you'd have to be sadistic to attack such a free race. Of course, there are plenty of sadistic races out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is, we must have done really, really bad since our HW is about as cold as it gets and still support molecular vibration. I mean, on a warm day you can see our atmosphere which is probably why we don't have wings since they don't work well in a vacuum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All flyers are natural allies in the same sense that pigeons and falcons are natural allies. They both cooperate to support the same food chain!
