First, a disclaimer: I'm not a Gaian team member.
Second, in the current DG most PBEM rules (about game bugs) are in effect. My guess is that for the next one a discussion will be held before it starts. So suggestions are welcome.
Per faction, try to discuss the things you would like to see within the Gaians with your team mates, and better discuss them before the DG starts, because changing factions is hard, if not impossible in the early game.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Pardon the novice question, but how does one join the "#gaians and #acdg on apolytons irc-server"?

It is safe to assume I am basically clueless on the Democracy game. I've done a lot of SMAX roleplaying and fiction writing, but no democracy games.

Some basic questions:
* I assume that multiple people are 'playing' one faction. That means responsibilities are parsed out, right? Or are decisions made by voting?
* Is Team Deirdre playing against the AI, or other human teams?
* How are conflicts adjudicated?
* Who will decide what are the PBEM rules to be used in the democracy game?
* Will one of the team members chronicle events (essentially developing a story)? If so, will other teams do the same? Will this be posted, or is this competitive such that this divulges too much info to our honorable and not-so-honorable competitors/enemies?

Put an end to popups!

*Depends on faction. In our faction responsibilities are parsed out, but also all inportant decisions are polled, and any decision can be questioned by teamates.
*We are playing against three human factions (not excluded possibility that this increases or decreases and the rest of slots are AI, or possibly human helped AIs - we haven`t quite decided fully that).
*Conflicts? Betweem factions or about decisions in teams? Conflicts are resolved as in PBEMs, I guess, while conflicts in team are resolved by discussion, and poll, if it comes to that.
*We will most likely have a poll
*Basically yes. It is a practice in this ACDGs that teams made a newspaper which would have different RP stories. We usually check before sth is published i nteam so that we do not accidentally give info.
Just follow the Poly instructions about joining server (quite simple, you will see), and when youa re connected to Apolyton type /join #Gaians.

All hail banner of Gaian Republic!


There several interpretations of this banner: one is that two orbs that eagle is holding are twin suns of Chiron. Other suggests that Earth and Chiron are these orbs. Third theory however suggests that orbs represent the dual nature of Gaian society.
The eagle represents the governent of people in Gaian Republic, and their wise rule through democratic institutions.
Rose symbol symbolizes Gaian need to preserve and nourish planetary life at all cost, due to need not to repeat again tragedy of Earth.

The Gaian Banner looks suspiciously like the Star Trek Romulan emblem. They don't strike me as being particularly eco-friendly (unless it is for planet sculpture with orbital plasma weapons).

DAMN YOU APOLYTON REPLY NOT REGISTERING

Yes we have a freakin' romulan eagle.
That's so our empire can crush and dominate this weak planet.
Now please Stop The Freakin' spam!

I'll get very pissed off if a tactics thread starts getting spammed with:
Obstructor drives the former at 20.16 to the Rec Commons Bar
Or something stupid like that.

So please - reduce the spam addiction now so that you don't spam important threads later!
I'll even add a nospam to the start of important threads...

Like this. This is the GAIAN RECRUITING THREAD.
You'd think we had better things to do than chat about the freakin' Klingons, right?
As in, we might recruit some members or advertise?
God... Don't tell me this place will drown in Spam like The Hive.

You should all have your postcounts removed.

Spam in this thread has the benefit of keeping it near the top and making the faction appear active. Both benefit your recruiting drive.

Skanky: Thanks for the heads-up on bumping mechanics.
But Rantbumps are much more well disguised than Spambumps.

Someone asked about IRC?

1. Get an IRC client, like mIRC
2. join server www.apolyton.net
3. join channels #gaians and #acdg

That was a pretty nice banner, obstructor. I feel that it conveys the true characteristics of the Gaian team. Intimidation under the disguise of green. It certainly is a deviation from the original Gaians, but could be a very interesting development.

It is a deviation but it is not towards intimidation (even as this is good sideffect ) but towards peace isolationism. Except some symbols from Romulans, we took only their characteristic that "we wish to be left alone". Our peace is backed up by nuclear weapons one would say. We are ready to do everything to have our peace.
