Why Spore Launchers can be just a good as Mindworms.
Many gaians may think of spore launchers as a fairly useless pet. This is simply not so, while you may not be able to put up a highly effective beware of the mindworm sign, there is a certain novelty factor associated with owning your very own spore launcher.
Aside from the obvious and common use of teaching it to launch tennis balls there are an variety of other uses. Such as firework launcher, water fountain and jungle gym for the kids for the large ones.
Spore launchers can be active players in recreational sports. It's a little know fact that once taught the right techniques they have been know to be excellent waterpolo players and also cricket or baseball pitchers.
The average Gaian family cannot unestimate the value of a spore launcher as part of the family. It still provides all the mental benefits of an owning a mindworm such as calmer kids and xenobrew once the pet has died. While it cannot effectively attack and burrow into the usual home intruder, they make for gentler pets ideal for families with small children.Last edited by Kody; July 2, 2004, 09:08.Comment

Oh I felt I owed you an article because you pointed out the picture problem I didn't realise I was having. Also because of the teasing I was doing last night.Comment

Basically if you want two columns and you make a table with only one row, and two cells in that row. Inside the cell you can do whatever you want, for example you could use < hr > to get the horrizontal bar to separate different articals, or you can even insert a table into a cell.
Kody's code needs to be cleaned.

Here's what I meant in the last post. I did not bother to move articles around since you are going to have more submissions and will decide their placement later.
Mutiny aboard UNS Unity!
You all know what transpired aboard UNS Unity. After a disastrous attempt of insurgents led by Security Officer Santiago to seize a colony pod for themsellves, chaos has erupted on ship. With the danger of crashing in Planet, and Captain Garland mortally wounded, ship's crew divided into several factions, seizing colony pods for themselves. We gathered around Officer's Deidre's excellent vision of human future on this alien planet. From now one, we are to be know as Gaians, and our faction as Gaian Union. Our sensors have recorded atmospheric entry of 6 other pods, which means that we shall probably have company on Planet. We intend to show that Green is the only correct choice.
First Senate meeting!
Newly formed Gaian Senate has after a lengthly debate accepted this foundations for Gaian Constitution. Foudation of Constitution are this three Supreme Gaian Laws:
First Law: Humanity may not injure Planet or, through inaction, allow Planet to come to harm.
Second Law: Humanity must obey orders given it by Planet except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Third Law: Humanity must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
After a vote, this constitution has been accepted with votes of 512 pro and 18 against. Senator Garreth, main spokesman of the group that voted against, complained that other factions might not kindly view on Constitution based on such principles. Since there are no indications of other factions surviving, that argument fell on deaf ears. Senate voting has shown that majority of Gaians agree with the principles senator Hydro so accurately formulated. The rest of Constitution guarantees basic rights for each Gaian, including liberty, freedom of speech, equality like in UN charter. It also guarantees rights of each native lifeform, including so far sighted xenofungus, and all other possible sentient and nonsentinet lifeforms, which probably makes it unique in history.
Senator Obstructor, proposed an official Gaian Oath of Loyalty, which would symbolise loyalty of each citizen to Gaian principles. Senate accepted it uniformly with 519 votes (one of the senators went to bathroom while the proposals was voted for). After accepting it, all senators have immediately sworn the Oath. In the course of next two months, each Gaian is required to swear the Oath in Gaian Central Hallroom, thus officialy becoming a full member of Gaians. Senator Obstructor also proposed that Oath is resworn in official and special occasions. It is expected that this proposal will also be accepted in tommorow’s Senate session.
Senior Nudist Kody has been forbidden to run naked through the trees
Senior Nudist Kody has been forbidden to run naked through the trees after some shocking revelation have been made. Apparently Kody was planning, with an outsider named WIA, to take films of Gaian women running naked through the trees and sell them to entity called "Morgan" (link between Nwabudike Morgan who appeared shortly before Unity's demise and this name is not confirmed). Also, there were also preparations to sell footages of Gaian men running naked through the trees to entity called 'Sparta' (link to Santiago and her insurgents has not been confirmed). What this entities are, is not familiar, but it was recorded that 'Morgans are always ready to pay good price for such material', while 'Spartans like this kind of material since they spend life among other men'. There was also talk of 'Angels could add popup adds to footage'. Kody was questioned, but he hasn't revealed anything about this cryptic messages.
Whole thing was exposed when a passerby heard conversation between two of them.

Method disrupts Chief Gaian Department for Real Time Communications
After the recent communication chaos, Method was found guilty for intentionally disrupting communications, planting 1337 stuff around the Department for Real Time Communications and behaving irrationally. "This was a clear act of disrupting the teamwork", said Director of Chief Gaian Department for Real Time Communications Laurentius, "and we shall not tolerate this any longer."

Long night over?
After continuous state of disorganisation and lack of interest in matters vital of faction that lasts from Planetfall, Lady Deirdre was forced to use her powers and intervene, rearranging crucial points. Since grand elections of 2102 failed, many Gaians have become concerned with the fact that many still see plebscitary democracy as a sole foundation for society. As our faction has started its expansion from starting base to other ones, it was neccesary to diversify branches of government. Elections of 2102. were intended to be tool of this change, but since they failed for lack of interest, Lady Deirdre saw no other option than to manually rearrange society, appointing officials by her self. This is believed to be a temporary measure, since new elections shall be made in mission year 2106. No civil liberities have been suspended, and successful election results were acknowledged in this change. Historians claim that Long night, period lasting from Planetfall, is now nearing its end. Populations is neutral, or supportive for this intervention.
Lord Hydro returns!
Many Gaians wonder what happened to well known Lord Hydro. It turned out that Lord Hydro accompanied Scout Patrol on it's first voyage into unknown. Unknown to majority, while studying local hydrological phenomenons, Hydro tripped and fell down the hill. He was presumed missing for more than 20 months, until he returned on his own to base. It seems that he managed to survive with his breathing mask and with two-month supplies for all that time, filtering Planet water, and eating various xenofungus parts. He was hospitalised immediately upon his return, as his body condition showed significant loss of mass and cronical exaustion. However it is believed that Gaian Union shall gain much when he recovers, including possible map information, details on native life, and fungus receipts as well. It is also rumoured that Hydro is one of few Gaians who have heard "Planetsong" .Last edited by Illuminatus; July 4, 2004, 17:05.SMAC/X FAQ | Chiron Archives

Gaian Union annouces adoption of organic nervestaplers
In a continuing movement to save the environment of our adpoted home, a motion recently adopted by the Gaian Council of Lords now requires that, rather than wasteful and polluting standard nervestappling technology, all police forces will be required to use 'organic nervestaplers.'
"It's really a neat technology," says one shopkeeper who sells theweaponshappy fun time playthings. "Regular nervestaplers use chemicals that wreak havoc on the natural environment. Our organic ones use the best of natural xenoworm husks and xenofungus to produce the best, non-polluting nervestaplers in the business!"
Reports that these so-called 'organic nervestaplers' are actually regular ones painted green remain to be investigated.
View from another corner
Lord Obstructor has asked today in Council of Lords why is our police being equipped with nervestaplers, when our social system cleary forbidds use of nervestapling equipment. Police department claims even if they cannot use nervestaplers for nervestapling, they can use them as something to beat protesters with. Council of Lords is still embezelled with this issue.Last edited by Illuminatus; July 4, 2004, 07:49.Join a Democracy Game today!
