Tattler's previous posts were archived by someone... I forget who. I also have local copies, but they're in a backup DVD somewhere in the stack over there *points to cupboard*. If no one comes up with the web based archive, I'll get them for you.

The Effix were definatly a part of AM. TF was supposed to have just a minor role as part of the SoL alliance. Them and the Miners Consortium.

Miners Consortium? A faction of idiot AIs whose whole game plan is to mine sectors controlled by the enemy?

Effix yes, TF No, I remember when vegeta came up with TF, and it was well after AM was dead and gone. I don't know anything about a miner consortium being part of AM.

Oh we get plenty of fiction around here. Ben Bova is going to serialise Allegiance for FHM I heard.

Sure thing. I'm just surprised that the sites with the cores only give brief premises about what the new factions are about. Are the Beast really lizard-aliens?

Additionally, I'm glad that most of the fluff for the original game is archived in the Microsoft Zone section of the Wayback Machine.

Even if pook didn't block the archive, the bot were unable to read the forums. The forum is only readable for registed users (and bots don't register).

It was an alliance of SoL, Technoflux, and Miners Consortium. YP asked me to get those names in the game as they would be future Antimatter factions so I wrote them in.

or is it just me that thinks that?
I disagree with you mostly, except for those hypothetical Allegiance fanfics with slash erotic furry action, like where Derek Fisk is an ocelot and Orion Sholes is a ferret and they get it on in an airlock of a Ga'Tarran corvette, and the author of the story writes himself in as a main character. That's several lines over the line.

...they are hypothetical, right?
