Ok, fine. Originally, Googlie wanted to do a faction where different people would actually own units, cities, energy, etc. Some people in the Morgan faction (including myself) were for this, provided it could be done feasibly. I think that would be possible if a proper program existed to keep track of the units, or maybe with a good spreadsheet (as was planned). Unfortunately, support wasn't strong enough and thus nothing came out of it. Googlie had proposed for a short while to set up a seperate faction, which would be various businessmen. That also didn't pan out.

This conversation happens a about a week after landing on Planet.

Anywho, in my 'story' Morgan wanted to join the PKs and rule them in secret, so he can have the PK's faction advantages (size 9 bases w/o hab complex and ability to pop boom w/o GA).

Originally, our colony pods affirmed our support of the UN government (the PKs). The high level officers in the company (us) disgusted at the possibility of being under a Peacekeepers beuracracy bribe the PKs to get Morgan Industries from Morgan, then kill the local peacekeeper garison, and destroy the comlinks with the Peacekeepers, ensuring control.

Our faction rewrites the history books to say that Morgan was staunchly against the UN Government and pushed for a perfect capitalistic society, and that he was found guilty of embezzeling lots of energy, and then he is not talked about.


Impailer, since you are head of the security committee, it is fitting you should be in.

I thought it would be suitable for the minister of monocles to be behind the plot...

[jtsisyoda]

So what's the situation with the next MorganLink Magazine? Anybody organizing that? (I'm not volunteering. )

[Chaunk]

Oooh well volunteered jt



Seriously though, perhaps someone could throw something together about our "elections" or something. Plus a few classified ads for call girls miscellanious items, and we're onto a winner. Lets aim for 2110 at the latest I say.

[Vander]

Now that the others are out, I think I can have it thrown together by tonite.

[Chaunk]

Post it here then Vander when you're done, and we can all comment on it etc.

WORK IN PROGRESS. PLEASE PROOFREAD AND ADD ANY COMMENTS BELOW. I WILL POST IT AROUND 2 IN THE AFTERNOON (PST).

ISSUE 2: SCANDAL FOR SCOUNDRELS!


IN THIS ISSUE:


==============================================


CEO MORGAN CHARGED WITH EMBEZZELMENT!
Here's the story, covered in Morgan Street Journal by the venerable Impaler[WrG]

Sources indicate that Chaunk, Chief Prosecutor for Morgan Industries, is preparing to file Section 33-2a Embezzlement Charges against CEO Nabutika Morgan. Reportedly the charges will state that CEO Morgan, while still aboard the Unity Spacecraft, misappropriated the sum of 10 Energy Credits for his own personal use and hid them somewhere about the Morgan Capsule; leaving only a mere 100 Credits for the rest of the faction to make due with. Upon the landing of the Pod he then endeavored to conceal his theft from the rest of his faction. When security forces apprehended Morgan. he was nearing completion of a secret underground Grotto which was to be filled with nerve stabled Super model love slaves, lots of wine, synthetic caviar and a life time supply of Viagra.
Chief Prosecutor Chaunk gave this response. "He is going down. I have him in my sights and he can not escape. We will strip Morgan of every energy penny he has and boot him off the board for this unforgivable theft of company assets. I don't care if he DID found this company and lead us through the breakup of the Unity. This crime is unforgivable."
CEO Morgan gave this response: "These Charges are Ridiculous, Poppycock, made of whole cloth and further more NOT TRUE! I am the Teflon Kid and will come through this completely unscathed! Prosecutor Chaunk is going after me because of my wealth and wishes to "bag" himself an innocent businessman so he can make a fortune on his lawyer fees which mind you run at a staggering 500%!!."
When Chaunk was asked to justify his lawyer fees he responded with "No Comment". Morganic legal experts agree that the case against Morgan looks grim but none could imagine that the highly respected leader of our faction could ever have been charged in such a manner. They find the possibility of conviction infinitesimal due to the fact that Morganic Society would be shaken to its core by such an event.

==============================================


Morganic Lawyers called into action
As reported by Time Chester

Like a well oiled machine, the legal department in Morgan Industries sprang into action this last week amid uproar. Rumours had started, and were spreading like wildfire - the Mod's, the producers of the so called Pholus Lunar Newscast had started a campaign of viscious lies and misrepresentation.

The headline made their stance clear "Outrage Over Atrocities Commited by the Morganites". This reporter throws scorn in the direction of the Phalic Loony Newscast that, amidst their campaign of racial hatred, they couldn't even be bothered to get our Faction name correct. But thats by the by.

And official Morgan Represetitive made the following statement. "Originally the PLN stated they were neutral in all afairs. We now see they lied. In fact, their newspaper is nothing more than a rag. Our lawyers have issued a writ to the papers editors and the court case is scheduled for two weeks time.

"The Morgan Company has at no time had any part in any of these "atrocities" they claim we carried out. The protocol that Kody the Narrator of the Third Alpha Centraui Democracy Game, Senior Consultant on Universe Mechanics of Morgan Industries, Minister in charge of making sure the pins stay in the right spots on the War Map for the Spartans, Joint Peanut publisher for the Data Angels, Senior Nudist Runner Through Trees and Executive Preserve of Rosbuds of the Gaians, Spam Puppy - editor of the Pholus Lunar Newscast, and Janitor of Honghu's Washroom cites has not been broken in any way. In fact, as all the CMN's are aware, we Morgans have not roleplayed at all, save for a little bit last week from only two of our members, who are both now in training to rid them of such roleplaying tendencies.

"We will not rest till the truth is out, and Morgan Industries is once again free of the slur that PLN has given us."

We at MorganLink news can only stand and aplaud as our leaders refuse to take this lying down. Let the lawsuit begin!


==============================================

REPORTER FINDS EVIDENCE OF POTENTIAL TAKEOVER OF THE UN BY MORGAN!

Computer investigator arginine has recovered evidence of for CEO Morgan's plans to take over the United Nations Chiron Mission. Using secret data cracking algorithms, the reporter found a lost letter from Morgan to Pravin Lal, leader of the UN mission. Here is the letter in it's entirity:

CEO Morgan to Pravin Lal
"On the UN an good business sense"

My investment in the UN Unity project was in fact a corporate expansion. Few people on board know that. Upon arrival, a colony would be set up, and a government along the lines of the UN charter would be instated. I am not fond of governments. They are needed to give people the freedom to generate wealth. That is what I like about the UN government. They can be shown how to give people the freedom they need to and it is critical for me to show the UN government how to give people that freedom they need cost effectively. This specialization is good. The UN would run the government, and I would run companies. I would provide some cost cutting guidance to the UN government as a good citizen should.

In my early days in my career, I saw governments do many projects over budget, and pass expensive legislation with little benefit. On a few ocassions, I saw that many government officials were not the brightest, and would get swayed by others less bright and with some guidance. The UN needs more guidance like few other organizations do. It cries out for the wise CEOs and statesmen to give it that guidance.

I read how President Saddam Hussein provided valuable guidance to the UN to get his nation's oil flowing again. I read how Bill Gates provided guidance to get the WIPO, UNAIDS and malarial programs up to shape. I saw how Craig Ventner, with the help of President Hillary Clinton, got approval of patented synthetic fossil fuel cyanobacteria in the deep ocean. I saw how Iran gave guidance to the IAEA for lifting damaging restrictions for its pursuit of breeder reactors & reprocessing for its viable, long term energy policy. Lets not forget the guidance to the UN to threaten the Christian States of America to accept manufacture of embroyonic stem cells necesary for life extension. (sister Miram gets mad every time she hears this.)

I am trying to show Lal, but his interest seems limited to when he visits the luxury corporate colony pod. The UN back on earth was much more receptive to my guidance. Some of my employees are restless and say to stop 'wasting' guidance on one as idealistic as Lal, and start a government of our own. VP Chanuk has been especially vocal on the issue. I must admit, we don't know how to run a government, or even do city planning. We'd only be able to get 4 into a normal base, whereas the peacekeepers know how to get in 9. I am afraid some of them will set up their own faction. Don't get me started on military support, as good corporations are fiscally conservative.

This letter is just the tip of the iceberg that is Morgan's debauchery. Many, many others go undescovered, and others discovered are added to the heap of evidence against the former CEO in his upcoming trial.


==============================================


And now, these headlines:

- First generation of 'Xenochildren', the first born on Chiron, are said to be doing fine. Reported to be having trouble saying "Erf" and "Arm-a-ged-on"

- Scientists monitoring many forms of airwaves announce "solid evidence" of other survivors of Unity landing. Board salivates at, "New prospects"

- The 200 year old, disembodied heads of Classic Rock band Aerosmith announce plans for goodbye world tour. (This will be the seventh of the sort)

Nice work, Im glad to see that Morgan publishing with have someone to compete with. Lets see if Angels can come out with some material now and we will then have some publications from everyone.

Also I realy like this format, its like what Kody is using for his PLO reports, did he assist you with it? If he did and is willing I would like to see Morgan use the same thing perhaps making this the standardized format for all publications.

Thanks Kody!

I guess its up to Vander if he wishes to use it, and if he dose its got my support


I figure we need something about our IPO so here is a little Blurb. Also I dont see how we can release election results untill AFTER Morgan is convicted and stripped of toppled from the CEO position? What do others feel about this? Also I dont think its nessary to give out the vote counts or Comittee positions, just listing the Chief officers seems fine anything more would likly confuse people.


Morgan Street Journal: Financial Times

Morgan Industries conducted its long awaited Initial Public Offering today. Morgan himself rung the Ceremonial Gong to comense bidding on 10,000 shares of Morgan Industries stock. Prices soon climbed from 3.2 to well over 16 Energy Bucks per share. Many traders were seen trading in wedding rings, watches even the shirts off their backs (and in some cases the shirts off other peoples backs) for more Morgan Stock. Morgan was quoted as having said " Mine Mine ALLLL MINE!!!" and "Greed is Good". Senior market analyst Yoggy belives that the sky high price will soon fall which is in sharp contrast to rival analyst Toro's predictions that prices could soon reach stratosphereic prices of 30-50 Energy Bucks per Share. Toro said "Sell your first born XenoChild NOW when it can still get you a desent return on your investment!!" Meanwhial Senior members of the Board of Directors had already had options to purchace the limited Edition "Golden Shares" of stock which give them controling Intrests in Morgan Industris and all its subsidiaries regardless of how many regular or "Pesent" shares as many Directors refer to them are sold. Resent investors Blut0 and TheloneAmigo were seen making purchaces of Golden shares of Morgan stock and both expressed their glee at becoming full fledged perminent members of the Board of Directors, "Its good to be Golden" said ZargonX another resent investor who claimed to have saved every credit he earned for 8 years inorder to become a Board Member.

I am currently converting Kody´s template into Morgan Link Magazine. For testing I´m using the Morgan Industries History Thread, so feel free to have a look at the progress...

Vander, fear not, I don´t want to steal your job, but I just felt the urge to do anything for my faction...

[arginine]

Actually, that conversation was supposed to be a secret conversation within Morgan Industries of Morgan trying to convince some directors to back his 'takeover' of the UN. This conversation would be kept SECRET from people in the PKs. Otherwise, it's just fine.

[Vander]

Well, let's go with the new format. I'm not sure how to use it, so someone else will have to take care of that. (hint hint) Also, let's cut the elections out until the next issue and add Impaler's other article.
