OOC: Hey, you're the one controlling a race that is destroying an entire galaxy with a highly advanced species that has weapons designed to counter your ships
Besides, you can't make then think something that isn't true, since 8472 doesn't have telepathic powers to that extent. Thing is, Borg were always a part of Space Wars, and are not the only bad guys. Plus I have epic plans with them. So I'm afraid I'm gonna say NO.
Oh, and the Borg aren't NPCs, they're my race =P
OOC: Then why the [bleep] aren't you allowing for weaknesses and failures?! An RP only works if players are willing to take the good with the bad. If you had legitamitely maneuvered, let's say, Clive into a situation he coudln't get out of, I'd let you kill him, no matter what epic stuff i have planned. You're just going, "Oh, you have a big gun? Well, my gun just got bigger for no apparent reason," and it goes back and forth to gain the upper hand. I have no interest in an RPG that's JUST fighting, with no character development whatsoever. (Also note that' the percentages I'm giving are relatively small [especially compared to the Borg's seemingly infinite resources] and go up at a steady, constant rate, giving you
several posts in which to come up with a plan and react--something which I have not seen in your Borg actions--correct me if I'm wrong. And, in regards to your "weapons designed to counter your ships" comment, the Undine have also had time to adapt to the Borg's tactics; it goes both ways, you know.)
Now I don't particularly care about the Undine. They can go away if need be. They are there to BALANCE you out. I just can't accept an RP where you are the all-powerful leader of the Borg and we can't do
anything to you and we spend all our time fighting and dying instead of developing our characters' story. So don't misunderstand me: I'm not pulling out the Undine to instantly give the anti-Borg faction another ally (that's why they're attacking the Enterprise). They're there purely because you've gotten too powerful on a meta level and you need to lay off. I'm specifically doing this Undine stuff EXACTLY the way you are, so you can see what you're doing to the game. As an added side effect, it is a way to give the other players TIME to do character development and stuff without you suddenly saying, "The Borg show up and kill you all," which is where you seem to be headed.
So, here's my deal: you tone down the Borg, and I'll let the Undine scatter. Deal?
IC: Undine
The Undine ship electrifies its body, causing the tentacle to flinch. It slips a bit looser, and begins firing at the tentacle.
