Translated Works of William Shakespeare.

Macbeth
Act 1 - Scene 1

A fungus patch.

Thunder and lightning. Enter three Capitalists

First Capitalist
When shall we three meet again
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?

Second Capitalist
When the hurlyburly's done,
When the marketing strategies lost and won.

Third Capitalist
That will be ere the set of Communism.

First Capitalist
Where the place?

Second Capitalist
Upon the fungal plains.

Third Capitalist
There to meet with Macbeth.

First Capitalist
I come, mindworm!(originally Graymalkin meaning grey cat, a creature that lived on old earth. However, it more likely is an abstract way to say old crone. I think you’ll agree mindworm is a better insult.)

Second Capitalist
Old slimy toady creature with warts calls. (these capitalists really didn't like each other)

Third Capitalist
I agree.

ALL
Fair is foul, and foul is fair (they’re saying they feel turbulence of a society without communism)

Hover through the fog and filthy smell of money.

Exeunt

(Original Play)

There once was a drone from the Uni
Who work day and night for wages puny
Thought, "This have to halt"
Led a worker's revolt
There was the end of the Loony Tuny

[Vev]

There once was cyborg called "Billy"
Who would woo with every filly

The Cyborgs are such an odd faction
always ready to leap into action
with activity frenetic
(they're Cybernetic) -
fighting with battery packs on

Strange Subterranean Haul

The glorious Hive trawler boats have reportedly hauled in strange creatures from the sea unseen by humans. Details remain scarce as the boat was immediately seized and all specimen confiscated. Speculations are rife about these creatures and the fate of the fishing crew.

Pravda inside source described one of these creature as octopus-like with many tentacled legs, small leathery wings and evil blood-red eyes. The source cannot be relied upon as he appeared insane during the time of the interview, especially when he also mentioned that sealurk sashimi is especially delicious with xenofungus sauce. We think he is suffering from xenofungus poisoning.

Strange developments are happening after that amazing haul and already, a secret underground cult is founded although its name or its goals are unknown. Rest assured, the Crimson guard will root out these subversive elements.

A search party was launched early this morning when the deputy chairman Jamski was announced missing. Comrade Jamski has not been seen in over a week and his avid supporters have expressed deep concerns over his whereabouts. This disappearance was closely followed by the disappearance of Comrade Static Universe. Comrade Static Universe left a note that he had things to attend to.

Aside from timing there has been no correlation between the departure of both these promient members of the Hive. However, police have yet to rule out possible foul play.

Vote yes to new pavada edition.

Special Report to Commissionar of the Secret Police Comrade Vev
Under direction of Deputy Chairman Jamski, Comrade Dr. Wujiang and Comrade Dr. Tassadar attempted the first secret Hive experiment of utilizing mindworm thought control in human subject. The experiment failed and all evidences have been destroyed. However, there appeared to be a minor mindworm contamination during the closing stage of the experiment. Comrade Dr. Tassadar was unfortunately in direct contact with the mindworms. This has apparently triggered residual effects of Comrade Tassadar’s earlier contact with wild mindworms during his converting journey from another faction. Initial symptoms included Comrade Tassadar’s super long love letter to the Deputy Chairman. The sickness has worsened since and Comrade Tassadar has exhibited erratic behaviors including randomly attacking others, harassing CCC members, and heavy delusions of political, financial and media power. A positive effect is that Comrade Tassadar’s creativity was expanded massively. Comrade Dr. Wujiang and assistant Comrade Vander have been working feverishly to find a cure to the particular disease. This matter has already caused attention in the CCC. Comrade HongHu commanded that all departments make their best effects so that adverse impact to the Hive from Comrade Tassadar’s erratic behavior would be contained to the minimum.

Edit: Please don't include this news in the published Pravda per Comrade Tass's request.

This one is a good "in other news" item. We probably could use another one or two.

And the poll, any ideas? Something like

Which is the most active faction in the forum?

• The Hive, because it has the most number of threads;
  The Hive, because it has the highest average # of posts per member;
  The Hive, because its activity will double when it merges with its most trustworthy friend faction(s);
  Write in;
  Xenodoughnuts;
  

[Vev]

Leave out the 'write in' don't want them to have too much free will.

[Snowflake]

Well we always had write in as an option. If we don't have it this time, they'll still write in, and probably will write in more. They'll say, hah! You don't want free speech now!
