3. Lets make them early, but not so early that they become too important

YES. Bonus points for SM+1 mechs, for full irony

TGLS · 06-19-2020, 06:49 AM

3/4 and YES, but with the rider that small items are stolen and nobody figures out how.

2. Circa the 2150s, possibly during the Romulan War

NO, let the Cidi encounter be without mechs

Does this look like a good idea? Please answer either YES in all-caps or NO in all-caps.

YES

OK, so far we have two votes for 2 and two votes from three (one of which is also for 4). If there are no new votes in the next day or two I'll use my tie-breaker.

OK, I'm breaking the tie: The Cidi were first encountered by the Solar Cooperative in the 2150s, specifically *rolls 2d-2* 2158, so part-way through the Romulan War. Since YES clearly won, they were met while they were using their encounter mechs, and their true form was only discovered later.

Cidi first contact, question 2

How did first contact with the Cidi go?

1. Fairly violently.

2. Tense, but peacefully.

3. Calm and friendly.

4. It was rather businesslike.

5. Something I haven't considered.

Please include the number of your preferred option when you vote, as well as a more detailed suggestion of how you think it went.

The consensus appears to be 2, tense, but peacefully, with a suggestion that the Cidi's true form was not known until after the war, and that the Cidi seemed paranoid about it to telepths.

Either one or two. Lets get some adventure and misunderstanding in the past!

Prince Charon · 06-28-2020, 08:54 AM

I was hoping for than two votes, and was also hoping for more detailed ideas on how it went (sure, I can come up with my own, and may have to, but if you have a suggestion, please share it).

We had the forum go down and eat sone posts. Some one (I dont remember who sorry) Voted 2 and suggested that the suits weren't opened until after the war, with telepaths picking up unexplained paranoia about it.
