Gaian Immigration Office Enter the AD-FREE zone


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.


A newcomer's guide to Gaian Union
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
Step four - Look in the FAQ (currently unavailable)

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.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

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.

This was the story of Snowflake, boomerang princess.

Anyway I got another settler that does not respond to PMs. I will wait more before authorising him. Also intro thread has been updated.

RedFred authorised even as he did not PM me. But since he is a regular on Apolyton and active, I overlooked it. I am sending him introduction PM now. BTW no news from Gorad. Seems he is one of the - register-in-a-day-apply-and-never-visit-Apoylton-again people.

Thanks. And greetings to all the Lords and Ladies.

Auto authorization! The power of Gaia must be strong within me.

Here is my surprise real life SMAC moment: while in the supermarket checkout I handed the grocery bagger my two handmade shopping bags with a large Gaian rose emblem on either side. I had the shopping bags made up a few years ago when I was more active in both the forums and MP games. I have been using them for years without any glimmer of recognition from any member of the public. But that day was different.

A guy in his early twenties became VERY excited and started talking animatedly to his girlfriend while pointing at my shopping bags. Sadly it was very busy and there were people inbetween me and him. So I never got a chance to talk to him. But our brothers and sisters (or at very least, fellow SMACers favouring a different faction) are out there. Small in numbers perhaps, but out there for sure.

Welcome RedFred!

Great story. I'd love some Gaian Shopping bags. That's a good idea. I might just copy you. Smac is the best strat game of all time (other than chess and go), and the Gaians are the best faction. Long live Gaia!

Edited out by snowflake.

With this I believe I've inspected all my posts in the Gaians and edited out all the one sentence post like "Welcome RedFred" or "it is a good edition" or things like that that I think more or less forms the Gaians' foundations of accusing me of spamming. I know that I haven't edited out a lot of posts. I really hope they can live because I did write them with my heart and would hate to kill all of them. Also there are a few post in the roleplay threads that I haven't edited out. I would do so if the Gaians believe any of the unedited-out posts are indeed spam. I was not able to edit anything in the locked threads such as the Garden of Eden, though I would not have edited out many posts in there anyway.

With this I would appreciate my posts do not get edited by others. In return I promise I will not post in any other Gaian thread except the history thread so that the Gaians can be free from the infamous snowflake spamming.

Hmmm, I was contacted by a settler named Icelander. He he joined recently and he has zero posts. He wants to join, but somehow I am suspicious. EN created a DL recently, and I cannot help wondering if this is not someone's DL too. What do you think, should I authorise him or not?
