Attempting to Fulfill the Plan: GDI Edition

Reader mode
[ ] Truth and Reconciliation
After four major global wars, and over a half century of chronic low level fighting, there are a massive array of existing grievances, on both sides, ranging from bad calls, to intentional war crimes. While sorting through them will be the work of decades, bilateral and multilateral commissions will help smooth down some of the more egregious burrs.

I need this option- this is something we have building towards the entire quest. TCN also seems like a good call because we have no way to run the economy without tiberium at the current time
 
I want the tiberium control network and the tech. Less sure about the other 3 but I think i want Truth and Reconciliation. Working alongisde Nod in long term with nod is going to difficult without it.
 
Yeah, while i'm fine with the brotherhood existing as some sort of double state, to an degree or another, it needs to be co-existence with the rest of mankind, so i find Truth and Reconciliation to be highest on the list.

Following that tiberium controll network, because you can never really trust Tiberium enough, even if you plant it 5 feet underground it's just gonna come back to haunt you.

The last one is more in the air? I'm leaning towards tech exchange though

Anyways, I'm leaning towards these three:

[ ] Technology Exchange
[ ] Truth and Reconciliation

Advanced TCN because we need the advanced version in all honesty. Tech exchange because I want more Nod and Bentusari tech gacha. And Truth and Reconciliation because it is something that is *definitely* needed. And may well open the stage for a gradual unification of mankind. We need to start rebuilding bridges between GDI and Nod *somewhere*.

Agreed on all points.

This was an excellent update and I did enjoy the byplay between Kane and Carter, though I felt he was somewhat more aggressive than I would have necessarily thought him to be.

I mean, even if not unification, coexistence between Nod and GDI is leagues better than the generations of on and off warfare.

Now here as a reminder this is not like Canon-verse where Kane waltzed in and got everything he wanted for a pinnace. Here he came to us to negotiate cause he is not in a position to dictate demands even if he acts like it. Basically I hope we the players and characters in story do everything they can to squeeze him of his worth. Thats basically the only thing we can do at this point that may upset him and it's those little victory's that I got to enjoy.

Barely perceptible and hidden by the hands folded in front of his face, Kane smiled.

You know the reason I hate Kane was because he was such a smug character that got away with it and seeing this here just reinforces it. Now I know he's a multi-century old alien that is vastly over-equipped to deal with GDI doesn't make it anymore annoying though. It also helps he was a well done character in my opinion as well.

And I for one do not want to take Subordination of NOD they can be there own separate thing but I really don't trust Nod merging into GDI and would rather keep them separate. Cause even if it causes a war in the future by that point Kane would have left and without a unifying figure they'd be a lot more easier to fight. And as shown throughout this quest we where/are pushing them more and more back to the point of them using Nuclear weaponry to slow as down. As conventional fighting was more and more a losing prospect for them.

TCN is key for survival and resources to be maxed out.
T&R is necessary to heal humanity.

And I value getting as much knowledge and technology as possible than having an arbitrary percentage of Nod under our heel, or a higher percentage of them working.

[ ] Construction Share Ratio
While GDI will have to take the lion's share of the construction effort, simply because of its operational scale, forcing the Brotherhood to take on additional duties and industrial commitments will free some Initiative resources to achieve other goals, while limiting the ability of the Brotherhood to fund shenanigans.

This I think is a must, freeing up our resources and more importantly lowering Nod ability to found some crazy scheme is a must.

So that would make my pick TCN, T&R and construction share.

Let's play it safe here and prepare for the inevitable NOD backstab.

Remember the tale of the Scorpion and the Frog. We don't want this to be the tale of the Scorpion and the Eagle.

Nod will stab us in the back. Even if it ruins the world and themselves. It's their nature.

Gdi can simply not trust a nod that does what it whats and will not give up it's space Monopoly to them and nod can not trust gdi who does what they want and has a Monopoly on space, like Carter said humanity needs to be unified but I don't think it needs to be pure gdi or nod it needs a new beginning.
 
Okay. Wow

This was... a wild ride of a update.

Rather then the man who holds all the cards we saw in C&C4 the umentionable. We have here a kane who knows we are just are in fact capable of getting a substantial ammount of humanity off earth. And so has to negotiate.

The way botcommander and ithillid wrote the GDI leadership is just. So good.

i hope one day, we can look back and honestly say this was the turning point. Where GDI and NOD finally managed to bury the axe.

Its probably will not be.

But a man can hope.

Your paranoia is unfounded. Or, perhaps it would be more accurate to say, the one-sidedness of your concern is unfounded.

There will be those who work against this project, and object violently to working with the other side, from all parties. The Truth and Reconciliation item will reduce how many of them there are. Or are you saying that you think Ithillid is giving a trap option?

As for me, I'm a hard yes on the TCN and Truth and Reconciliation, and am flip-flopping between the tech exchange and subordination of Nod, slightly leaning towards tech.

Did you not read the update at all.

I can see arguments for switching technology out for construction share, or maybe even nod subjugation... But that's by far the least important question IMO, the TCN and T&R both blow it out of the water.
 
On T&R.

Not only will it most likely greatly decrease the chances of things going wrong later, it's also the choice that is most likely to piss off IF while at the same time going to neuter their future ability to be a threat.

Also important to note; T&R will most likely also substantially decrease the willingness of Nod to cause issues during and after construction of the TCN.

'Nod might have the funds to do something stupid' is not as big a threat as it could be if they see no reason to do said stupid thing.

Think construction share is pretty lacking because the nods that plan to ignore the orders are going to just put up a front of following them when they keep there arming up a secret since well they are already good at that.
 
Im down for subordinate and truth and reconciliation, because i think that combo basically guarantees a united human government in the future. Which with mass effect as the sequel and from my understanding thats the expected for newly met races.

Even though i really want tech share to squeeze kane.
