In the begining


As Deidre approached, she spoke worlds through commlink.
“Not for one man, one people, or one country, but for all of mankind.”
With this words she planted the flag in the ground. She remembered Captain Garland answering her question on which historic words shall be spoken in this occasion. There was a good chance that their pod was the only one to survive Planetfall. She thought about it for a moment and looked at the flag she has just planted in the ground.
Flag was stylised UN flag, chosen for this mission. Silence prevailed in circle of colonists surrounding her, as everyone watched at the symbol of unity, hope and survival, that wavered weakly on the wind of this alien world. This mission was perhaps the last hope of survival of humanity as a species, and yet it failed too. Humanity has carried strife among the stars.

There was some movement in the circle, as someone was apparently moving closer to the center. A colonist was carrying a new flag towards the center. Flag had green background, and a rectangular shape. As the colonist approached, the shape became clearer. It was a stylised symbol of a red roze, with a black outline, on a green background. Everyone asked themselves how could a new flag be completed so fast.
Colonist finally came to center. Deidre took the flag from his hands and repeated the words: “Not for one man, one people or one country, but for all of mankind and Gaia.”. Then she planted the newly assembled flag near the UN one. “We shall not allow tragedy of Earth repeat ever again.” Colonists watched for a moment, united in silence.

And that promise was not broken.


Objectives of Gaian Team

Our prime priority is to have fun. Our secondary priorities are: Winning the game in the way we choose to do so, and doing some excellent roleplay. We are look at this ACDG as way to explore new strategies, learn from others and increase our abilities. We also seek to get into role, using in character stories, newsletter(s), and all other forms of roleplay. We also look at this as a chance to teach other factions a bit about preserving environment.

Government

Gaian team is ruled in a democratic way. Lady Deidre is our supreme leader, but she has decided to abstain from day to day businesses, leaving Gaian Union to manage themselves. Several departments manage different aspects of the Gaian Union. Any willing member can easily join any of these. Each important matter is decided in polls in which majority of members has to express their opinion.
While Gaians actually lacks in ACDG experience compared to the other factions the members made up for this deficiency in other ways. Group of members has extensive PBEM experience. Large amounts of time are spent researching new ideas and precision in every single turn is paramount for success.
Consequently, a new member can contribute more as all ideas are considered important. Also a new member can learn more as when a new idea pans out it is explained in depth to the other members.

Roleplay

Gaians are a roleplaying faction. We do in character stories, participate in official roleplaying activities, make several newsletters, including Gaian Times and Voice of the Planet. Also
we maintain history of our faction, trying to write short stories for each event. Diplomacy is also roleplayed. It is important to mention that our roleplay does not strictly dictate gameplay. People are encouraged to participate, but not required to do so. Currently, most of members prefer roleplay more than gameplay.

Immigration

Why join? We are always looking for more members. If you like roleplay, we are definitely the right faction. If you wish to win, join us. If you are interested in gameplay, we have a core of experienced members, willing to cooperate. If you wish to learn, join and observe.

I propose this a part of intro - now off to write details on our team.

Very nicely done Obstructor. You've set a good tone for our saga here on Chiron.

Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

You need to add the other links for the titles.

But it's very nicely done. Going to read it carefully and see if I can make any good suggestions.

Googlie has the author line in the wrong place and his 2nd link doesn't work, but I'm loathe to tell him because I've already complained once and I like him too much to complain again.

First off

I'd say that's a nicely rounded intro with great story and good information about the team. The tone underlying the text was perfect for the gaians. So I really think that's an excellent job.



There was a grammatical mistake I thought I saw.

"preserving environment" I think should be "preserving the environment".

Couldn't see anything else I would change aside from the links

Also your contents didn't match with your title.

Actually I can change the links and title for you I just realised. Fixing your links okay and making titles match. I'll let you decide whether what I pointed out was a grammatical mistake.
