It's time for the Canadians to regroup and and solidify as a faction !!!

Reposts any pertanent info in this thread !!!

For you new comers, this is the the Alpha Centauri Project's 8th Faction .. the Canadian !!!

We stand for many things, truth and integrity being a couple of our main ideaologies !!!

Our faction is in memory of the great Canadian hero .. Captain Garland !!!

He sacrifices his life (or does he?) to save us !!!

He stays behind on the Unity to save us from certain death !!!

If you need background info on this, please by all means, look at all the Canadian related threads, and also take a peak at the "Who killed Captain Garland" thread !!!

To review the future-past, we all know that the Unity is badly damaged !!! That there is only one realistic chance to get the settlers to Chiron (Planet) ... but ...

At some point late in the mission, Captain Garland realises that the "separated" cryobay that was cut off from the rest of the ship, was actually still functional, albeit badly damaged !!! This cryobay, was full of the Canadian contingent !!! Captain Garland, being selfless humanist that he is, would NOT jeapordise all of humanity to save only 1/8th of the crew.

So .. he stages his own death so that the rest of the crew would continue the mission without thinking they had left anyone behind !!! (If they thought they were leaving people behind, many of them would want to stay to help, but this would have been to great a risk to risk the only chance for humanity) So Garland and a few of his closest advisors and loyal Canadians crew stay behind after the rest of the crew leave for planetside !!!

Once the rest of the crew is gone, they begin the long process of recovering the rest of the Canadians, many dead, yet many more alive !!! Once they completed that task, they still had the very long task of fixing the Unity ship and somehow returning to Chiron !!!

This restoration takes what seems like an eternaty, but it finally gets done !!! They now have repaired the Unity completely ... they also have their share of the supplies that the Captain secretly put aside in their name !!! They have the massive greenhouse that could support well over 8 times their numbers !!! In the time that follows, they devote much of their time to reseach, technology and growth. They have the entire ship to themselves .. they still have the entire database of humanity from which to derive new research from. They also don't have the hurdles the other factions did at first: war, conflict, learning to adapt to a new environment etc ... !!! Yet, they would get all this information first hand forom the probes, as they continually transmitted data back to the ship (no one bothered to turn them off because they thought the ship was empty) !!!

So with all this in mind, they ironicly proper in the fact that they didn't make it to Chiron first !!!

Appalled at what is happening down on the planet, Captain Garland decides to return as soon as posible ... he looks upon the warring factions with disgust .. they've only continued the problems of humanity, this was supposed to be our 2nd chance ... and they ruined it !!!

So the Canadians return ... with the mission of restoring peace and order and harmony .. yet they realise that this might not be possible without some force !!! The use of force is not the Canadians first choice, they offer all the factions a diplomatic means to peace, and some factions agree and join the Canadians ... Yet since they can't convince all the factions, they impose cease fires on all factions .. they prefer to live in harmony with the other factions who did not join them, but if the other factions ever abused their relationships with the Canadian alliance, they would be destroyed by the vastly superrior Canadian force (as I said, the Canadians were able to grow and research unhindered on the Unity while the other factions wasted resources on war and exploration) !!!

And although the means were not what they were hoping for, in the end, it took the Canadians to restore hope for humanity !!!

Eventually, Captain Garland will die, but it won't be on the Unity .. it will be on Chiron .. fighting to save humanity !!!

---------------------------------------

Ok .. so that was a little background to what the Canadians are about .. but don't join us because we are the biggest and the most powerful .. join us because it is the right thing to do !!! We beleave in humanity .. our leader sacrificed his life for only the chance that others could live !!! That's what being Canadian is about !!!

You don't have to be born in Canada to be a member of the 8th Faction ... the 8th Faction is not series of lines on a map .. it's a state of mind .. a set of beliefs .. a way of thinking !!! It's open to anyone who places the good of all humanity ahead of their own personal interests !!!

So, with that being said, welcome to the 8th faction .. our name "Canadians" is merely a testimen to our origins, if you join us, you won't have to salute the Canadian flag or have to pray to any particular god ... yet you'd have to pray and salute to humanity !!!

Other factions have joined our allience !!! The 9th faction of EuRoland, has virtually been "assimilated" (I use that term for Roland (: ) into the alliance !!! Talks are under way with the UN faction and UoP faction, the 8th Faction is now the Faction of Humanity, the true UN !!!

We have one reason for being !!!

Number 1: Mankind !!!

For you veterans here in this forum, you will notice something increadible wonderous in that statement !!! If you shorten that, the truth will become clear !!!

It's been with us from the beginning and we never knew it !!!

Number 1: Mankind
[N]umber [1]: [M]ankind
N1M ... (Pronounced nom)

--------------------------------------

Anyways, I officially invite all "Canadian", wehter born in Canada or not, to participate in the 8th Faction or any other faction allienced with us !!!

If you have any questions (I'm sure you do, as this is merely a brief review of the entire future-history), or if you'd like to join .. just post here .. and we'll take it from there !!!

WCW .. could you please post a review of our current membership !!!

DJ says that future decisions will be made by all. I would like you to submit ideas about how that would happen with our current and future membership in mind.

I'm thinking that it will be a council of sorts in which each person is responsible for one to three jobs listed above and decisions are made by the group with the people trying to keep their own ministry in mind when voting. ie:// finance minister tries to keep the budget balanced and remain non-partisan and make sure that Canadians get the best deal possible.

As for the voting, all major decisions will be made by ALL eligible 8th Faction members !!!

In order to be eligible, you must inform yourself on both sites of the debate !!! I will not tolerate people who just vote for the sake of voting, they must understand the issues and the concequences, aside from that though, any 8th Faction member may vote !!!

posted 12-02-98 03:52 PM ET            

The 8th stands for humanity. That is noble. I like your story of Garland. It should inspire Firaxis to print it. In the SMAC game, I am sure we could set up an "8th" Faction with the "cheat" mode. Anyway, what better power to have than an advanced space ship that gets repaired and then can chose where to help, where to destroy, etc, etc.

I think Garland's real name is James T. Kirk. You know, I love Kirk so much, that I got in a big fight at the time of delivery of one of my kids over the name. I wanted my son named Tiberous. It is a great name!! Captain James Tiberous Kirk Garland????

Anyway, long live the 8th. I hope we can do something with the splintered factions of Chiron. Question: What do we do if the warring factions do not want to take our advice and interference for peaceful nature?

I have a question for you, and since you are in finance you should be at ease with it. Are there subdivisons to credits, as in the ancient uses of "pennies" "quarters" and "dollars"? How much costs a pound of sugar, for example?

Anyway, Im off to repair that damn levitation pod, who broke again when the frog felled on it after a power failure. It was a nasty mess...

You can just use the dollar side of the equal signs in asking for money. The other side is the actual names. Notice our international roots. We are not just Canadians, We are also all of those who beleive in our philosophy.

posted 12-08-98 01:35 AM ET            

This is a new planet. The old currencies no longer mean anything. The names are just there to denote percentages of our faction people on chiron in that certain nationality. ie:// we have approx. 25% british people in our faction, 10% german, 6% japanese, 2% American, 10 % other(brazilian, african, french, russian,chinese, etc.) 47% is canadian. ALL approximations.
The dollar has a dove and a maple leaf on it and the 50 cent peice has a mesh of our many other cultures and a dove on it. the rest of the currency have doves on them. The dove is a sign of peace.
The larger bills(2-100) have one of the major founding people on it. ie://the $100 bill has CAPTAIN GARLAND on it, the 20 or 50 has Lestor B. Pearson on it, etc.

As for what will be included in the Armed Forces, there will be several devisions, we need more recuitment first before we go ahead with these plans !!!

Do the same if you have any content you'd like to add !!!

After my 2nd set of 3 days off, I'll be off for 9 days, so that's when I plan to really get some work done, by then, I expect all your reports/budgets will have final drafts so we can all work them out together !!!

We also have to develop our policies on social issues, this will be a complicated process, but once we have it established, 90% of our work will have been completed !!!

Remember, on this new mission, it is us who is paving our own destiny, the strong foundation we lay at the beginning will ensure our future success !!!

See you all soon, and once again, keep up the good work !!!

anyway, if you want, get ICQ99 Alpha - it's nice, but my one gripe is that it's way too similar to AIM, which is also decent...it figgers, cuz Mirabilis is owned by AOL.

anyway, my ICQ# is 5470568.

btw...Victor has set up another forum for us to use in privacy...but the link on his page is wrong...use this one:

btw...were all of our profiles on the other thread lost?
just asking.

the first would be for the navy and can be adapted to the armor suit me and cyren thought up in the "policy" thread. it can also be a dedicated system.

its a "Underwater Breather Unit." u have to have a tube connecting the suit to your coratid artery. u put on the suit and it takes over your breathing so u dont have to carry air down with u. it takes the O2 out of the water like fish gills and devilers it to your blood directly.
the combined suit devolped in the "policy" thread can also be adapted to underwater and it could therefore encase your entire head.
it could respond to voice commands to increase thickness to any part of your body and change shape around your eyes to allow u to see clearly underwater and to magnify to see father (therefore seeing the enemy before they see u)
i also have an idea for communications. its called a "BP" or body phone it is surgically implanted under the clavical and all u gotta do is touch a small button, tell it who to call, and it does it automatically.
a minor idea is a "BC" or body clock --notice the connection- BC (the province) hehe
its connected to your brain and all u gotta do is think at it and it thinks back at u the time

well thats it for now signing off your faithful general spacer
