Discovery 4.86 Storyline: Tau Conquest - Skipper - 05-10-2010
I see the non-existent-Kusari wins again trend fails to reverse itself in the new version again.

Well, as the boys in the Bowex chat can attest, I was very close. Bretonia gets rammed.
QCP - gone
Bowex - gone
BMM - gone
BAF - reduced to two real systems
Rule Bretonia. They're going to be reduced to Cambridge, New London, and (with luck) Sprague. Dublin's going to fall with Gallia pouring through Edinburgh and Leeds jumpholes. Mollies will have to fall back to Lisburn, and possibly Sprague becomes a BAF/Molly planet?
BAF/Mollies sign a formal accord, and begin their fight back? Liberty jumps into the fight with Rheinland lapping at their heels (unlikely).
Were the "relevant" factions consulted about this, or were they told this is what will be. Gallia being the steamroller like this is a little hard to believe, even for this game.
Reading the story, it seems that Sirius is going to jump a couple years in time, or we're now privy to the versioning document for several iterations to come.

That for me. I care about the Rheinland/Liberty war, and not much else.
I thought the point of Discovery was took keep it as close to a Vanilla storyline? But in Jake's well said words, a random house that somehow managed to hide for all 800 years pops up and steamrolls Sirius?
Might as well be invaded by aliens.

Yay Kishiro!

I, for one, greatly welcome the storyline evolution. It seems I can't remember a time where things weren't as they currently are.
Wasn't stating that i either wanted or expected this to happen. I think this new story is awesome and i can't wait to see more of it unfold. Just trying to express my opinion that us normal players don't actually know how the story will develop and therefore declaring it all unfair and ridiculous is a bit premature.

I would like to add, as the leader of an Official Faction directly affected by this.
I was told nothing.

Also, I'm going to predict now that this will cause a lot of problems, more than it will solve, both in characters and in playerbase.
And that this thread will either be 50 pages or locked by this time tomorrow.

Gotta have something to read in school?

I've never felt so powerless. Seems like everything's going straight off the deep end, in story content.
