[Frankychan]

Comrade War of Art- please submit that Comrade Tassadar has found a wandering non-aligned citizen, myself, and has generously brought Frankychan to the benevolent fold of the Human Hive.

OOC-If you need help with The People's Information, I would be willing to assist you!

[Jamski]

The people always need more information, Comrade. If you would like to write the story of how Tass found you wandering in the fungus, then it will definitely be published.

[Frankychan]

I will write up my personal account of how the great comrade Tassadar found me while on his journey to the promised land.

A Blessing from the Hive
-by Comrade Frankychan

"I woke from cryostasis and found myself in scattered wreckage of the Unity. I had no idea where I was save that I was not on Earth nor anywhere safe. I spent my first few hours on Planet searching through the wreckage around me, trying to find anything useful...anything that would help me survive on this harsh world. The only thing I knew was that I was alone, no one was there to help me.

You will not believe me, but I saw in the distance a body of water...I did not know what it was. I had to trudge through a morass of what I now know is "the fungus". It was then did I experience the mindworms.

Imagine the worst image you can think of, then think of another and combine the two. This doesn't even compare to what I saw from the mindworms. I stumbled around and thrashed uncontrollably, hallucinating that I was being torn apart by wild dogs. I ran for what seemed like ages and I felt the hallucinations subside. It was then that I collapsed from exhaustion.

I woke up to find myself being dragged on the shoulders of a man....a great man. It was here that I learned about what happened to the failed Unity project and of the other's taking to the lifepods to save themselves. I learned that my savior was from a group of people that favored the pursuit of knowledge above all else. He told me of his dreams of something better, or something more nobler. He told me that he heard of people who valued the equality of man above all else, of a utopia on Planet. I asked if he was taking me there and he said yes. He told me of the paradise that awaited me and that I would be accepted in open arms. This man, my saviour, told me his name was Tassadar from the University.

It is here that I have found my utopia and my new purpose on Planet. Here is where I have found that I pledge to serve the Human Hive loyaly and without doubt. I thank Comrade Tassadar for giving me new life as a citizen of the benevolent Human Hive!

Long live the Human Hive!"

Excellent testimony Comrade Frankychan!

It will bring a tear to the eye of even the hardest of forward-thinking revolutionaries.

[Jamski]

Still waiting for Tass before we go to press...

If you need any help on PRAVDA, I would be willing to fulfill any needs that I can accomplish.

(until I can see what's going on ingame, I'm afraid I can only take a backseat approach to what happens there. But i can help in interfaction relations! )

Can you write an article?

New SPECIAL EDITION is here

Is it possible to make this thread a sticky thread so Hive journalists knows where and when to post their articles.

Also it will be great if the editor posts the deadline for the next issue so that we would procrastinate until the last hour and write up a article full of lies we would have a timeline to work against.

[Jamski]

OK, normally publishing the day after we play our turn. That's the deadline. Ask Voltaire to sticky as well.

[Frankychan]

Whoop! Sorry Comrade Jamski. I was a little late in seeing this. Until I am able to get details on what is happening in the game, I will assist Comrade Jam with the glorious people's voice, PRAVDA.

[Vev]

Changed the first post to include deadlines and links to back issues

[Jamski]

Thank you Comrade FrankyChan. You can be my Editorial Assistant Deputy to the Peoples' Advisory Council.
