Subject: Re: [Traveller_TNE] RE: Banners - LongishOk. The TNE Collapse Procedure is Human-centric. For gov't codes that lie outside of the A-F range, it doesn't really work. You've gone from using Aslan gov't codes to TNE Wilds codes. IMO, true Aslan aren't going to abandon the clan loyalty system (barbarians could) that they've had forever just because of Virus (I came up with an alternate system for re-rolling Aslan gov't codes in the Wilds). I suppose one can argue that maybe Virus is the very thing that causes Aslan to abandon the clan loyalty system for human style gov'ts (though from 1248 it survives for at least some of the population). After all, what are the motivations, besides land, that would cause an Aslan to become a barbarian?On page 34 of AM1, we get "In human terms, all Aslan worlds have a feudal form of government. Thus, one of several normal governmental codes might be assigned by humans to various Aslan planets (0, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B and C are all applicable), and these codes might be found in a human catalog of world types (Kusyu, the Aslan homeworld, is often assigned a government type 8 in the fashion)."Notice that there's no democracies or religion-based gov'ts. So if you use the standard TNE Collapse procedure, you're going to have to re-roll any time you get one of these two. Is it possible for Aslan to "get religion" or "go along with the herd" when their choice for leader doesn't get elected? Or are there things so embedded in Aslan culture that nothing in the universe will change them?\_/DEDTNE @ Yahoo ml AdminAs far as I can remember (its been a long time since I collapsed the sector) I did adjust the results for some worlds so that government types for former Aslan worlds match the codes you gave above I don't think I was completely consistant though. So here and there there I have noticed the odd anomoly such as the occasional Democracy slipping in. I shall have to have a closer look at these.Antony
