News: Fallen empire threatens the blorgs, AI research or war?

[_Sky_]

Is a friend that is forced to be your friend, really your friend? No it isn't. After all; "No one is a friend to his friend who does not love in return" - Blato, ancient Blorg philosophizer.

I find myself very curious about the chances that the FE will intervene. Is there a % change that increases with each AI tech you research? Is there one specific tech that triggers it? Is it possible for them to threaten and then never follow through even if you continue AI research? Or is it a case that once they threaten, it will always lead to war eventually if you don't stop?

I'm also curious about how that war will go, will they wipe you out or will they give you their equivalent of a rolled up newspaper smack to the nose saying don't do it again? So many options.

It's not the Blorg's fault that no-one wants to befriend them so their only options is to build friends from scrap metal...

What are the consequences of refusing the demands?

What are the consequences of refusing the demands?

Total annihilation of your empire? I would expect nothing less.

 

[brandedelementa]

We shouldn't make robots, because they don't like dinner parties.

We should synthesize Blorganic life instead!

 

[Jerree17]

What are the consequences of refusing the demands?

A firm befriending.

 

[4verse]

A firm befriending.

A final hug

We must not let them bully the Blorg!
I decree that we should continue to build friends, and prepare for the inevitable befriending campaign with our fallen friends.

In all actuality, this is scary, are they upset over simple toaster bots? (It's not like the blorg have any advanced robots yet)
