  • Welcome to Gaians!


    Welcome, to Gaian Immigration Office. You have chosen to join our enlightened faction. First we need to do several formalities. As a step one, step through that detector.
    Okay, you passed.
    Now, our Empath shall do a brief scan of your mind. Do not worry, she is just making sure you are not a spy or criminal.
    Good, you passed that too.
    Now, come to this room.
    Step here, look at the Flag, and repeat the words of the Oah of Gaia that will appear on side monitor highlighted.




    Oath to Gaia

    I am but a mere stepchild of Gaia,
    The true Mother of us all.
    Hereby, I swear my full and eternal.
    Allegiance to her, the Mother Spirit.
    Even so far away, Gaia is still in us,
    As an inseperable part of our spirit.
    I shall embrace it, and ensure that
    Tragedy of Earth repeats never again.

    I shall tend organic gardens of Planet
    As if they were children of my own.
    I shall not seek to harm it in any way,
    But protect it from those who would.
    Its mysteries are not a threat to me,
    Instead I shall embrace them with my heart.

    As Planet bathes in light of its two suns,
    I must remember that I am not of this world.
    I came here after I was banished, from the
    Garden of Eden that brought us into existence.
    As interstellar grasshoper I came here, but
    Never again, shall I have second chance.

    Therefore I must never forget
    That I am just a part of greater whole
    I shall not act against will of the Planet
    Nor shall I seek to make it subservient
    Instead I shall abide the Will of Planet
    Because it is a second Gaia, sister to our own..

    As long my heart beats, so shall
    Gaia`s spirit live in my body.




    Good. Our empath scanned you again while you were repeating the words and she confirms your sincerity. Now, take this guide to newcomers, and read it carefully. It will be very helpful. Also do not remember to post here confirming that you have passed the procedure.

    Step one - always read topped threads
    Step two - fill in your data in demographics
    Step three - Senate contains Great Corridor which links to every discussion

                    There are so many threads in here! Sheesh! What about getting ourselves together for activities on Chiron (gameplay)?

                    And Hello all.

                      Authorised Chip_Buckener today. Also, a settler which registered today, named Duna, has also applied for authorisation. Should I authorise him? I will alter the introduction post, so that people PM me first (it would be nice for new members) saying a word or two about them. Meanwhile, I will PM Duna, asking him to say a thing or two why Apolyton and why Gaians , and authorise him upon his reply, if you agree.

                        I had time and will today only to make a skim of Poly today. As part of this skim big_canuk and Gratiano, who have applied for authorisation, have been authorised (Gratiano is a newcomer to Apolyton I see ), and big_canuk is famous enough already.

                          I have a small concern about enigmatic settlers. How to know? I'm sure admins can watch for similar subnets, but I don't feel like trying to set that up personally. On the other hand I'm glad to welcome anyone else, from the Canuk to the newest newbie. We have a great team and it's getting even better.

                            We have two settlers. In last ACDG they either lost interest or lurked. I do not find that a concern. Besides, I doubt anyone would go to such lenght (besides a certain person) to infiltrate other team. And I think admins do a regular IP check once in a while, so that should prevent DLs. Goodbye for now.
