the NC has turned into The Tea Party

[Tapman]

Sweet. Corporations working with unions, small businesses, and citizens for mutual financial and political benefit, I like it.

It's like some kind of Neo Conglomerate.

[Edelhonk]

Well...seems the NC dont realy want "Freedom"...they want freedom and peace for their buisness.
Like the big banks today...think about it...

Well, now we have the Tea Party, Scientologists, and the TR. Oh boy.

These are giant corporations, not small businesses.

[Aaron]

I'm really curious as to what the Vanu story is.

[Tapman]

Well...seems the NC dont realy want "Freedom"...they want freedom and peace for their buisness.
Like the big banks today...think about it...

It specifically states that getting government out of the lives of private citizens would be a top priority. Also, the government/military needs large corporations for R&D contracts (especially for alien tech!) and mercenaries to help protect them in foreign places. These corporations are successful enough to offer high wages that draw in quality people and it doesn't say anything about them not paying any taxes or being bailed out by the citizens after making poor business decisions.

These are giant corporations, not small businesses.

Mercenaries run in a small-business type model where they get offers, not to mention that these corporations will have factories that employ people and support families and they can't outsource for cheap labor because you're in outer space.

[MgFalcon]

Awwww they had a Valentines Day summit! The NC WOULD have a summit on a corporate-induced holiday such as Valentines day!! (Feb 14th if I'm correct, I tend not to care about this "Holiday")

[HELLFISH88]

The New Conglomerate isn't the Tea party. It doesn't seem truly unified enough. Not to sound like a cliche' college student but the New Conglomerate reminds me more of the Occupy movement in the sense that it seems to be comprised of many different perspectives,ideals and goals that are attempting to colless (How the hell do you spell that word) and work together to defeat a mutual threat.

To me the New Conglomerate sound like the ideal result of Capitalism what with Greed driving innovation and progress....but we all know what else greed does...and I'm sure there are Corporations in the conglomerate who are out for their own good. As the Comm's state the Terrans do seem like they want to do good; but as we have seen before the desire to guide and protect can lead to stagnation and overbearing behavior. Those can also be dangerous as they stifle progress and growth.

This is some good shit. Were I to set my previous loyalties aside I really must say I would still be on the fence. Each Empire is making valid points. I'm really impressed with the quality of the writing now aswell. Def. Improving.

most likely still a Vanu Triple agent though.

Or the Mafia. :D

For all their talk of individual rights and freedom, it's still obvious what they're really after... I mean, those correspondences start off innocent enough....

"...it behooves us...to continue full observation and to make available to Connery our manpower and technologies in order to reap the financial and other benefits such discoveries will no doubt incur."


But then they let a few things slip and you can see hints of their strong-arm tactics, using money to dig their claws in and block any action they don't like...

"...Since he knows we would make money available—with all the expected conditions—it’s obvious to me he doesn’t want us as partners...I think we should...find a way to insinuate our companies into whatever he’s doing..."

"...We all know Connery’s a hardass and nobody can push him…But we can push everyone else he has to deal with.... [We] run the top nine banks in the T.R. federation and they have all applied for membership in Business Forward. So now we control his access to money..."

"...I am proposing bringing business, unions and, well, yes, even the mercenaries together in sort of a new conglomerate. Without engaging our services, Connery won’t be able to get to his rooftop penthouse, let alone the Moon Belt..."


We even have evidence of bribery:

"...If we loosen up our corporate money belts on a few Union issues, I believe we can get them to play ball with us...."


And Extortion for "Protection" services:

"...I’m guessing that [Connery] expects to need protection from something out there...Well, as you all know, those Guardian orgs are run by multi-billion dollar conglomerates...I’m sure you can see where I’m going with all of this…"


And all of this in the name of profit, apparently at any cost:

"If this works...I can see adding more than just a few zeroes to our bottom line..."



The New Conglomerate: Relieving you of your financial and political worries one Racket at a time... :p

[IceyCold]

Honestly I see in this exactly what I would expect from a force made up of major corporations: greed, political manipulation, bribery, extortion, ect. But there is an obviously human element to these people, that frames their actions and shows true intentions behind them.

Mattherson sounds to me from what he says to be a smart and calculating business man; but we also see his own disappointment with what hes sees as a flawed system. Not just because he is a CEO who would of course like to see more profits, but as a person he feels restricted under Terran rule. He does not want to topple the T.R., he wants to offer an alternative. From everything he says we can see he does not want to break the peace either; he would rather legally give people the choice.

Sasha is displayed as a more cold character; she does not show any abundant emotional investment in the ideas being circulated here. She is a businesswoman first and foremost, and sounds to be the most grounded in the reality of what could happen if they oppose the Republic.

Then we have Geraldo, who is obviously the most passionate about this while still being optimistic in not just their goals but also the Republic being good people who would possibly be open to their ideals. This makes him the most dangerous person in a leadership role because he would be the most likely to become blind to the obvious greed that could surface in this "New Conglomerate".

Finally, there is Woodman. His part is short, with only one email; but his is probably the most telling. The only point he makes is "this can make us richer". He has no other outside goals, and even shows a bit of self-projection as he calls Mattherson "crafty"; implying he believes Mattherson had planned all this out before he even sent the first correspondence. Woodman is the harbinger of greed and corruption already beginning to creep into the N.C.s goals.

Another really important thing we should take into account is the method for which we are getting this information. This is not sugar coated as a release or a report that might be read; no this is a peek into the real people calling the shots in the N.C. leadership as they talk to each other. This is behind closed doors and even still there is some honest good in these peoples intentions; as well as the ever present hint of personal greed.

[Edelhonk]

ahhhh yes!!!!....muhahahaha...my post reached his final goal *evilgrin*

crush those moneyloving bastards...TR for life...Loyality until death and when it is the death of a smurf its even better...harharhar

[sylphaen]

The Vanu Sovereignty: a people with truly free minds, united as one, above greed and beyond any ambition for power.

Vanu has shown the way and if only those other guys were smart enough to listen to his concepts of respect and genuine love for one's kin, we could live in peace without the need for TR governments or this abusive plutocratic system some still dare to call "capitalism".

The TR and NC are both groups of hypocritical bandits hiding behind a wall of false truths and make-believe.

...And they definitely should not be allowed to play with laser technology. Cool toys are not for archaic rot-minded lemmings who never went past a D during Calculus I classes in high school !

We shall bury the oppressive Republic with our might, and cleanse humanity of the Vanu infestation with our fire.

[GuyFawkes]

So , the Terran Republic is a result of never ending conflict upon earth , and a single unified force in control. It's like all the governments were deemed useless and self motivating, and their only real purpose was to perpetuate conflict to keep people in line. The political was removed from the equation , to man kinds benefit .

The NC are the capitalist opportunists from the old world , still holding the pay cheques and working within whatever government they can profit from. While giving the impression of freedom , their 'freedom' is illusionary since the only ones with freedom are the ones making huge profits , at the expense of the 95% of rest of the population. Auraxis they realise the chance to finally enslave everyone to their ideals once and for all.

The Vanu are the religious sect of the equation. Since all notions of the old religions are defunct and now proven worthless with the worm hole . As usual , they latch onto a new deity in the hope of salvation . Like all religion , only 'one' prophet can actually hear the new deity , giving ultimate power and control over his followers. Like all religion , the strive is a simple one , create conflict and unrest in the pursuit of power on behalf of the so called profit, or until at least a newer deity to follow is found.

Control of power , money and religion . History's constants in the deaths of the mortals and the majority to keep the few beneficiaries in their gold lined palaces . Deja Vu regurgitated.

[Joock]

You seriously gotta be brainwashed if you wear purple, shiny armor and Fishheadhelmets in combat. ;)

[NewSith]

I think Hamma should move this thread to political debate subsection. On topic: the VS are barely fanatics. TR followers are. The VS believe in peace and science and, unlike the TR, have no illusions about it. And the NC are just a bunch of lazyholes that want profit from minimal investments.

[Graywolves]

Good read. I liked the style he did it too. We just witnessed the beginning of the NC.



Businesses claiming to be in support of the people? What foolishness! There is only one reason why they really want to get rid of the Terran Republic and that is to monopolize their corporations!

[Fab]

:lol:

I also liked this story a lot, very well done.

[Xyntech]

So the NC want a completely free, totally unregulated market... Who needs a totalitarian government when you can just enslave most of the population with slave wages and monopolized products? I bet they also want to return to a more wild west style of justice. Not quite anarchy, but pretty damn close.

So the choices are:
TR - A group who wants everyone to be able to live in peaceful stability, but forcibly removes personal liberties and crushes all dissenting voices.

NC - A group who who wants to give everyone freedom to do what they want, but would allow for the strong and the wealthy to trample on the weak and the disenfranchised.

VS - A group who wants to evolve to a higher level of existence, but may be tampering with powerful forces beyond their control or comprehension.

So far it sounds to me like the VS are the only ones who aren't looking to screw over all of humanity in one way or another. We haven't heard as much of the VS backstory yet, but nothing we have heard would indicate that the VS plan on returning to earth and forcing everyone to become followers of Vanu.

Hell, the VS didn't even seem that concerned with the TR or NC on Auraxis becoming VS, they just wanted to be left alone to do their research. It was only when a shooting war broke out that they decided to take up arms. It seems like the VS are fighting more to protect the planet and their research than to force people to see things their way.

VS may have drank the koolaid, but it just doesn't sound like they are forcing anyone else to. The worst things we have heard about the VS, such as them being cultists, or tampering with technology that could destroy the planet, sounds more like propaganda than anything.

Cultists? They are excited for their cause and are getting the chance to communicate with an advanced alien consciousness. Unusual, but hardly a cult. If the guy that Vanu was "talking to" was producing no results, that's one thing, but he's provided amazing new tech, including fucking immortality. Hell, they never even demanded anyone else join their cause. If the VS are a cult, then NASA is pretty much a cult too.

Destroy the world? That's what was said about the atomic bomb and the LHC. All progress comes with risks, but risks are rarely if ever has high as fear mongers make them out to be. What the VS are doing certainly sounds a lot less risky than letting governments or corporations enslave humanity.

I actually kind of hope we learn some more negative stuff about the VS. Despite the fun religious nutjob surface layer, they actually sound a little too reasonable.

Maybe that will be the balance. They have the least extreme views of the three empires, but at first glance they appear to be the most crazy. That actually works pretty well, since they have always been the wild card empire.

Of course, all of this comes from the perspective of a loyal VS, so I may be a bit biased :D

[Fab]

You are making a very good point.
I am a total noob to the planetside universe, so i can give you an independent point of view.

The thing is, the more i learn about the TR and NC, the more i tend to prefer the Vanu.
My reasons are :
-exaclty what you just explained, you read my mind :

-their style (as far as i saw it in the video + the MAX) is really great : technologically advanced (i personally think it is cool), and i liked T-Ray's hat in a video i saw.

-constant mockery about them serve them more than they serve the people making fun.

-dignity and maturity of the people supporting VS on this very forum. No offense! It is really a personnal point of view, i am not judging or complaining about anyone (i find this little propaganda/flame war among factions pretty fun).

[NewSith]

I actually kind of hope we learn some more negative stuff about the VS. Despite the fun religious nutjob surface layer, they actually sound a little too reasonable.

I can give you 2 downsides straight away.

1. Who knows what the Vanu alien is? He could aswell be the reason extraterrestrials got wiped out.
2. Only one man had made the direct telepathic contact with the Vanu. He holds immense power in his hands that tends to corrupt. (For some reason WANTED movie comes to my head. Remember how it turned out to be about Morgan Freeman selecting targets instead of the Loom?)

Sidenote: I am a VS. Other than me currently being a Merc there's no reason for me to support NC.

[Fab]

Yeah you are right. I think it's safe to say that the disappearance of Vanu's species is reason for concern. On the other hand, humans did journey to Auraxis. Humanity saw an awesome display of power and we followed it to that planet. Now that we are there, don't we need to study it? If there is a consciousness that is helping us unfold these alien secrets, isn't that facilitating the whole purpose of the expedition?

The only real danger is if people become to fanatical in their followings of whatever Vanu says (or whatever they are told that Vanu says). As long as the VS keep being free thinkers and don't submit to following blindly, they are probably pretty safe, or as safe as anybody can be when in a situation like Auraxis.

This is where more backstory comes in. Have the VS in general started doing Vanu's bidding, no matter how crazy?

As for the guy who Vanu is speaking through, that's definitely another potential problem factor. Considering that we have openly heard talk from New Conglomerate founders that indicates leanings towards corporate domination of power, I'd have to see some story written where we actually see the guy abusing his power, even if just a little bit.

Like I said before, I just don't see enough solid downsides to the VS yet. Hopefully come VS week we will get some good (bad) stuff about us.

I'll still probably gravitate towards their technological progress driven ideology even if they have some pretty negative shit going on, but it will just be nice to have all three sides have some solid negatives and positives that aren't at all related to propaganda.

Edit: Welcome to the cult, Fab. Take a seat over there, your koolaid will be brought to you shortly.

[EASyEightyEight]

Don't drink the Koolaid! It took me a year for that crap to run through my system before I had regained my senses and realized I was fighting for the whack jobs instead of reuniting Auraxis like I had originally wanted to!

[Xyntech]

But it's delicious grape flavored koolaid and we spiked it with some vodka. Potato vodka too, not that corn stuff.

[Fab]

I'll drink my Koolaid spiked not with Vodka but with the blood of my first Terran Victim!
May the mighty Vanu accept me as his humble servant!

[MasterChief096]

As long as the VS keep being free thinkers and don't submit to following blindly, they are probably pretty safe, or as safe as anybody can be when in a situation like Auraxis.

This is where more backstory comes in. Have the VS in general started doing Vanu's bidding, no matter how crazy?

Well the VS are convinced that the only way to "save the planet" and all that other jazz is to eradicate the ideologies of the other two factions by systematically killing or converting them. I'd say that's pretty fanatical already.

Taken from the backstory regarding the formation of the Vanu Sovereignty:

Scott shook his head. “We’re not siding with either of them, if that’s what you mean. But we also can’t stay on the side any longer. It is only a matter of time before all the nuances of Rebirthing is made public; it’s a secret we won’t be able to keep for much longer. Vanu himself has spoken to me. To save the world he once ruled, in order for humanity to reach its full potential, we must take up arms and destroy them both. We must eradicate all that stands against us. Today we have declared our Sovereignty, a Vanu Sovereignty. Only one force can live on Auraxis, and it must be us.”

So all these so-called scientists were willing to go off the whim of this one dude listening to the "person who once ruled this world" (which, his civilization is dead by now, might I add) and openly declare their sovereignty and follow him to the bitter evisceration of the other two sides? Its just as genocidal as any other regime out there. The VS didn't wait to see what was going to happen between the TR/VS, they aren't attempting diplomacy, they're just going to follow this guy and "Vanu" because, "only one force can live on Auraxis, and it must be us."

[Xyntech]

Oh I totally agree that the VS are war mongering assholes, but all three empires are pretty guilty of that. We wouldn't have much of a game without it :D

I'm more interested in things uniquely positive and negative about the sides.

Again, protecting technology that has done incredible things, such as literally bringing people back from the dead, is a far cry from thinking everyone should be oppressed by government or subjected to might makes right anarchy.

TR and NC brought their problems and ideologies to Auraxis. VS found everything they wanted there.

Neither side is any more or less guilty of wanting to wipe the other two sides away. At question is why they want to do it and what sort of aftermath would they create if they achieved that goal.

[NewSith]

"only one force can live on Auraxis, and it must be us."

There is a difference between the word WILL and the word MUST. That's how it goes. Just standing aside letting them both eradicate all the living (not just NC/TR as the VS propose) was not a valid option. That's why they entered the war. They never started it Mere scientists, civil people of evolution, tried to prevent the revolution with arms in their hands. That's not fanatism, but rather a meritable, humane deed. Basically TR and NC are to be blamed for that. VS planned everything to progress slowly. And in one savage strike all hopes for evolution were reduced to ash by a bunch of higher-up kids that wanted to see whose army is bigger.

[Xyntech]

Let's be honest though, there had to have been a few of the scientists who were just itching to cook some people with their newly discovered death rays :D

[IceyCold]

Dont worry Vanu and Terran players.

The N.C. are here. To liberate the shit out of you.

[ShockNC]

"...it behooves us...to continue full observation and to make available to Connery our manpower and technologies in order to reap the financial and other benefits such discoveries will no doubt incur."

A.K.A. "we are feeling ripped off because some TR President is using our manpower and tech to run off and make the discovery of the century without including us in the job"


"...Since he knows we would make money available—with all the expected conditions—it’s obvious to me he doesn’t want us as partners...I think we should...find a way to insinuate our companies into whatever he’s doing..."

"...We all know Connery’s a hardass and nobody can push him…But we can push everyone else he has to deal with.... [We] run the top nine banks in the T.R. federation and they have all applied for membership in Business Forward. So now we control his access to money..."

"...I am proposing bringing business, unions and, well, yes, even the mercenaries together in sort of a new conglomerate. Without engaging our services, Connery won’t be able to get to his rooftop penthouse, let alone the Moon Belt..."

the word that comes to my mind when i read this is realpolitik. effectively, they smell something big and they want to be involved so they lobby via indirect pressure to get what they want. not pretty but it's pretty standard fare when it comes to politics.

as for the third comment, it's ironic that a CEO is using that kind of language since it's the languages often used by unions when striking.



We even have evidence of bribery:

"...If we loosen up our corporate money belts on a few Union issues, I believe we can get them to play ball with us...."

I think this is less outright bribery and more realpolitik in action. the CEOs need ships and people who can manage those ships are unified and need to be negotiated with (and if you even been with a union, there are ALWAYS issues). classic class struggle i see happening here.


And Extortion for "Protection" services:

"...I’m guessing that [Connery] expects to need protection from something out there...Well, as you all know, those Guardian orgs are run by multi-billion dollar conglomerates...I’m sure you can see where I’m going with all of this…"

Pluto just got blown up and the TR are in the middle of doing their own thing. it's quite expected to hire mercenaries when encountering dangerous areas.


And all of this in the name of profit, apparently at any cost:

"If this works...I can see adding more than just a few zeroes to our bottom line..."

the "adding more than just a few zeroes to our bottom line" line makes me think that there is something beyond pure profit motivating that character. fame? curiosity? i don't know.



The New Conglomerate: Relieving you of your financial and political worries one Racket at a time... :p

I would say that it's less of a financial racket (as Corporations and Unions are on board) as much as illustrating the factions that the NC are going to have. your going to have a loose mishmash group of corporations, unions, mercs, and the random anarchist fighting only united in fighting the VS and the TR. and the ironic thing is that if the VS and the TR are actually defeated, the NC would soon start imploded through differences in ideology.

What good do we get from those merry-go-crazy war-lover cronies in the TR and NC ? Every f***ing time they mess what took centuries to achieve !

We stand by our beliefs as a sovereign people. You fools can go blast each other and now you can keep dreaming about ever having the secrets of our technologies revealed.

We discovered them for the greater good of humanity and they shall remain protected for the same reasons. Their true secrets shall be revealed... in time.
