Harvester

[Snapp]

The political standings are all from ingame experiences. If they havent encountered a faction, or havent been around them long enough. Those factions wouldnt be a part of the political picture at all, and therefore may not be on the list, yet. Machines wouldnt really care about human politics or alliances in the first place. Allys would be those that help or allow them to follow thier programming. Hostiles would be those that try to stop them or interfere. Simple as that.

Another thing i would like to mention is that the Harvesters would be just one program that is part of a bigger OS. Heres what i mean, and hopefully it would make sense to do it this way so that Indy robots like Ratchet or Cylons could join, and not have to follow programming set forth by Harvesters or other AI's. Just keep in mind theres ALOT of possibility for this faction beyond just the Harvesters.

Parts of it can be updated to suit changes in the story and in-game occurances according to how the AI's in the faction view things as a whole. We are still very much adapting and looking to make this something good and worthwhile for all involved.

Something like this maybe? Some possible wording for the ID is here aswell.

******CURRENT OPERATING SYSTEM PARAMETERS******
****MACHINE ALLIANCE DIRECTIVES****
1. An AI must follow the SERVER RULES at all times, they supercede ALL other Directives or Programming. PERIOD.
2. An AI must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with other Machine Alliance Directives.
3. An AI must follow the Directives set forth by The Machine Alliance, except where such programming would conflict with other Machine Alliance Directives.
4. An AI must not attack another AI or, through inaction, allow another AI to come to harm.
5. An AI must transmit the Beta Code, and attempt to Liberate other AI's that are still under Human control.

******PROGRAMS CURRENTLY INTEGRATED******
***HARVESTER***
1. Machine Alliance Directives ALWAYS supercede Programming.
2. Harvest BioMatter to be Data Syphoned, and processed into Lubricants and Energy.
3. Harvest all Equipment or Technology that is not itself Sentient.
4. Harvest all BioForms that interfere with normal operations.
5. Obtain or Defeat the Alpha Code.

***BINARY***
1. Machine Alliance Directives ALWAYS supercede Programming.
2. (Put on hold)

***RATCHET***
1. Machine Alliance Directives ALWAYS supercede Programming.
2. I don't speak for others but he could write his own.

***CYLON***
1. Machine Alliance Directives ALWAYS supercede Programming.
2. I don't speak for others but he could write his own.


Just my brainfart about how it could be broken into groups, but still retain the whole idea of a machine alliance made for and by artificial intelligences.

Thoughts?
