What is considered canon in Alpha Centauri?

that works too. Altough i prefer the Jim Jones approach.

the gurps guide calls the last ae of humanking "the age of transcendence". Id say that it starts eith the voice, the book also says that completing the "Manifold Harmonics" gives you a boost to the Transcendence process so it says it goes in between VoP and AtT.

On a related note, the interludes imply to me as though the secret projects Voice of Planet and The Ascent to Transcendence should be further apart. The number order of the interludes seem to indicate that the blurb from sentient econometrics chronologically should be after the voice of planet secret project. Finally, I noted that they either pretty much took the blurb from sentient econometrics and put it into interlude15 or vice versa.

IIRC, completion of the VoP allows every human faction (and probably the Usurpers as well) start work on the AtT, so it doesn't matter where in the techtree it sits.

This is true without my patch, but one of the changes in my patch is that you also need the tech (which has been changed to None in alphax in order to keep gameplay the same, but can now be modded.)  I actually changed it largely due to the story motivations Dio mentioned.

I knew that.

-This would be a good way to get people to be more active. (looking at you, BU)
I really don't have a solid opinion of Roleplayers, though. So if that isn't the kind of attention we want...
Although I'm not sure how it would work.

As far as I can tell it seems this:
Unity stuff with Garland
Spartans got skunked ;3
-But besides that, I really think the idea of the game was to create your own future. It seems like everyone but Lal is pretty relevant at the end.

I think that the sort of roleplayer who'd be willing to learn a new game with probably fairly simple rules will probably be the sort of person whom we would want.  The bad sort (munchkins and so on) would probably not be so interested.
