Bruh, Word of God speaking here; the Space Racists are here to protect two Exodite Worlds they thought safe by having you be their ablative shields. You are looking at a rough time with the Maggots shitting out thousands of shitty ships right now, so they are here to "do things properly" instead of relying a rushed task force being able to nuke the production centers.
Like seriously. It's all well and good to be distrustful of Eldar, since they are Eldar.
But it's another to be *completely and utterly irrationally distrustful*.
What are the Eldar's number 1 goal/priority usually? To save Eldar lives.
And who serves as meatshield cushion around the local Eldar exodites? The various sane human states in the area.
So I wonder why the Eldar are showing up when the shit has hit the fan? /s

A Craftworld holding down security for the local area will definitely help relieve some of the pressure we're having. We can refocus some of our efforts on building the task force instead, probably also a good idea to smash the emergency button.
Maybe we could design some ships specifically for the task force? Same with some special songs, something that'll stop them from immediately turning insane or something that will massively fuck up everything in the system.
I have a feeling that this is going to be a suicide mission, so why not plan for it? Ask for volunteer Choirs and Astartes and blow that stuff straight to kingdom come. Those Irrita bioweapons and maybe a Temple Ship could also come in handy. We should definitely have something besides Songs or other psychic phenomena for damage purposes though, we're on their home turf and I doubt they'll let us have a free reign of things.

Bioweapons against Nurgle?
Welll. Found the nids. Though I kind of wish we hadn't. Guess it's time to collaberate with the Eldar.
I feel like the right stance to take is "Ok, let's work together." Then we ignore their racism and avoid them using us as cannon-fodder. They will try. But as much as they might pretend otherwise this is a relationship where we have a say in the matter. They're going to insult us a lot which is fine, what matters is how much they abuse us. And I'd prefer to take a lot more of the former and less of the latter.

I don't really know why there's a moratorium for this vote? From my view, it seems to just "literally vote for who your admiral is" so uh, are we just voting for name and species? If that's the case, @HeroCooky, what's naming schemes for our Kin? I'd like to have an Irrita be our grand admiral right now if it's just flavor, but eh.
If we are figuring out policy / personality / etc and it's actually mechanically relevant for this vote or whatnot, I'd like that to be outlined clearly in this vote so we have an idea on what to vote uh, for tbh.
As for Eldar perfidy, frankly who gives a shit. They're the superpower, we are not. We've got like, 10 Subsectors. If a Craftworld comes up to ruin our day it can basically do so from my understanding and all we'd do is just shit and cry, unless my understanding of our positions has vastly changed.
Well, I'm exaggerating a bit — we've got a Nascent space marine legion and Cease could probably fuck them up a bit, but really, they're so strong in comparison to us that it's just not worth worrying about perfidy. They could just fucking kill us lol, we're stuck in a multi front war

I'm guessing that the Maggots captured a hiveship and killed the Norn Queen to cut it off from the Hivemind and then spent a while painstakingly corrupting the Hiveship into a biological and Warp enhanced ship printer.
No wonder the Duchy lost 3 subsectors to the Maggots in a single turn.

Because I have this thing called "responsibilities" and "a need to pay rent" that prevents me from writing 24/7, especially in a major story-beat like right now.
As for naming schemes, plants for Irrita, hippy for Yeen, normie for Pescarian, Mothrame are Vietnam-area, Kil'drabi are wishes or statements.
Too late, many are already trying.
I'm sorry for the offense and the confusion, but uh, sorry, I don't exactly see the connection between no moratorium and you needing to write 24/7? I think this is just a bit of a disconnect.
My understanding of a moratorium is that it's there to promote discussion for important or at least mechanically relevant votes so that people don't jump in immediately. After that, people vote, and then after that, it closes, and then the QM writes. If the vote is pretty monolithic then there's some prewriting going on which I suppose happens often here, but uh, yeah. I don't get the connection between a shorter or nonexistent moratorium versus needing to write immediately.
My confusion was that "why the heck is there a moratorium for a fluff vote, QM, is there something more relevant here?" not "aieeee more updates now"
Literal plant names for Irrita, okay, gotcha. Kudzu Irrita incoming

Apologies for the needlessly hostile post, I am currently sick (not sick enough to stay home tho) and that makes me irritable.

We must go deep into anti chaos skills
More psy research is required to burn away chaos corruption on mass

The problem is that they're too strong at this point, anti-chaos stuff doesn't do much more than prevent them from just auto-winning, but it doesn't actually seem to remove their advantages, just prevents them from instantly cascading one advantage into an uncontested win without difficulty.
Presumably, they're investing hard in this field to set the stage for the Dogmatic faction to rock our faces off and set things back to the status quo. Since Chaos is very strong against Dogmatics in general, who can only win tactical victories but inevitably lose in the long run. So presumably, we're fighting a significant portion of Chaos's sum total of Attention in the galaxy right now, so they're able to break the rules in ways they couldn't even in the Heresy.

We need to ask them for info. ALL THE INFO. Not being content with getting marching orders. Not content with getting dressed down.
Take the shit they fling at us and ask for seconds.
Interview them on their analysis of the enemy, our reaction, our neighbors reaction, Chaos' predicted ploys mods and tricks.
Ask them of everything related to the war.
Ask them out with our horniest Thule and record their reactions to be analysed by our finest empaths.
Badger them with enough questions they start regretting coming to help.
Okay wait Cookie may have to write the answers then. Oh no poor tired Cookie.
Uuuuh just write in we badgered them for advice that's below abstraction, then outright ask a few good questions, like what's their strategic analysis.

Not really, HeroCooky explained it as this area being a backwater, that the CG's attention was still focused on the 'main stage' and that the reason for why these cultists have all this nonsense is becuase they apparently have to work harder for 'blessings'. Beats me how they can do this though, not even the mainline Chaos forces can do this without a lot more effort.
Lets not offend the arrogant but usefull cunts.
With Eldar support, does "build huge fleet, send fleet +Eldar support+faith Exterminatus to maggot capital to nope the demon world (including ship printer) out of existence" become feasible?
I do kind of like this. Anybody able to write up a plan?
