    There are at least three of us now ready to get to work on some fresh Gaian propoganda. It's best if we organized our combined effort into one paper in the tradition of 3D and Pravda.

    Issues we need to get hammered out:
    • Name
    • Format (Including possible graphics)
    • Content
    • Staff

        Excellent pic for the header. I've started adding a few pictures to the gaian-art thread as well. I'm willing to contribute to the newsletter, but I might be a bit sporadic. I'd especially like to do a 'Chiron Gardening Tips' type column or perhaps some turn-analysis for our internal newsletter.

              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.



              Method disrupts 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 Lady Deidre later, "and we shall not tolerate this any longer."


              Senior Nudist Kody 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.

                          The table format is basically this:

                          < table >
                          < tr >
                          < td >< /td >
                          < td >< /td >
                          < /tr >
                          < /table >
                          (without the spaces)
                          TR means table row. TD means table cell. And then you have to close it in the end.

                            Try to use
                            <TD VALIGN=top WIDTH="50%">

                            The VALIGN means the articles don't appear halfway in the paper. The Width="50%" stops the middle of two columns to side around.

                            I just new two columns and two cells. Then add <HR> to make the spilts between articles. That means that the horizontal splits don't cross over both columns. The way Honghu showed it your horizontal spilts will always line up.



                            PLACE PICTURE HERE

                            FIRST ARTICLE

                            Notice the alignment of the spilt is now different from the other column


                            SECOND ARTICLE
                            MORE ARTICLES BELOW

                            MORE STUFF HERE


                            MORE STUFF HERE




                            Oh yeah that reminds me don't over do the marquee, too much of that really annoys people. Most people want to read text that doesn't move.
