This is post by Daddy-O in the old Banana forum. It was before the with AC, so I will post changes that need to be made.

One thing not mentioned in that post:

If you want, you can find the Esperanto translation of your name and use that when refering to eachother in public posts or diplomatic messages. For example, I sign my my public posts and diplomatic messages as "Vol"

Some changes due to the war with AC:

The Alpha Centaurians were from Nia Kontinento, so they are part of the Boneco. They were tricked by the evil Yang, from Alpha Centauri. He was sent by Malbanaj to turn Nia Kontinento to the path of darkness.

Some changes will also need to be made for this game. proposed changes & additions:

The story of the last game is written in the "Granda Libro" (Great Book.

The next two are terms from the old game and what I propose we call them for this game.
Nia Kontinento -> Malnova Lando (Old Land)
Boneco -> Bonaj Homoj de Malnova (Good People of Old) or simply "Malnova Bonaj"

The Malbonaj of new and old shall just be the Malbonaj. We shall later decide what Continent the Malbonaj are on this game.

The next few are terms I propose we use for this game.
The people on this continent shall be "Novaj Homoj de Boneco" (New People of Goodness) of simply "Novaj Boneco"
The Malbonaj of new and old shall just be the Malbonaj. We shall later decide what Continent the Malbonaj are on this game.
This continent shall be called Nia Kontinento.
All people other than the Novaj Boneco and Malbonaj shall be "Simplaj Homoj" (simple people) or just "Simplaj"
