Probe teams should definitely be called Lawyers , or maybe Litigators to be a little more pretentious.

here's another article if you guys want it:

MORGAN INDUSTRIES CELEBRATES CAPITALISM DAY!

Youngsters go to the 'money tunnel' and try to put as many coins into their wallet in 5 minutes. This year's record was 5000 coins! Outside the exit, many children were seen on cell phones, placing buy orders.

The classic baord games of 'Centaurioloply', 'Apprentice' and 'Hostile Takeover' are played by many. "You're fired", "Taken over!" and "Mine! Mine! All mine!" can be heard across any Morgan base.

Movies such as the classic horror film, "CEO Carl gets audited" staring Steve Martin and Hugo Weaving, the thriller "Barbarians at the Gates", the inspirational "Wall Street: edited version" and the comedy "Yang's third five year plan to stimulate economic growth".

Stories such as "Morgan Shrugged" (not to be confused with another MUCH longer and boring book) and "The businessman and the politician" were read in the creches.

Elders tell tales from earth, of hostile takeovers, the vast amounts of red tape, and IRS audits. The younger generation is ofthen amazed to learn lawyers were civilians instead of a branch of the military back on earth.

Post count sounds good. Perhaps Kody could produce his post count stats for the private forum and we could work those into the share price. Perhaps Share price+=(PPD-1)?

Idea is good, but the formula is bad. For people like me it takes years to actually change postcount.

I´d say we take the ratio of (your posts) / (total posts) of a certain timespan and link that to share prices. First of all we need to reset share values to a common starting point...

I´d like it much better if the stock exchange would reflect our faction´s prospering, though. Googlie had a good plan for that, but it needs much caretaking by someone. How about that?

From the creators of the Recon Rover Rick series comes a production of good vs evil, freedom vs oppression and capitalism vs beuracracy. This is the story of Litigator Linslow sent to the base Central Planning in the evil communist nation to negotiate a trade treaty. During his stay, Litigator Winslow sees the communist nation first hand is the hell it is know to be. Citizens are expected to feed and house the garrisons for free?!?! Property is owned by the state, and economyic activity is PLANNED by commitees in the capital. Drone riots are prevented by brutal suppression by the military, and not with facilities, or simple luxuries like Xenocomfort pillows?!?! People are expected to work long hours for the good of the state instead of money in a civilized nation?!?! Even in death, the citizen serves the communist nation by "become one with the people". Litigator Linslow overhears plans for a surprise attack to conquer the luxurous base of Morgan Geothermal in the name of the chairman. Linslow thinks of his daughter pledging alliegance to the inept chairman and knows action must be taken. With the aid of his fellow litigators and 200 EC, they showed the righteousness of capitalism to the brainwashed people of Central Planning.

Nwabudike Morgan himself calls in Linslow to scold him for endangering the peace. Linslow delievers a seething speach to Nawbudike Morgan for compromising his principles for the evil chairman. Morgan realizes the error in his ways, and refuses to give the emancipated people of Central Planning back to the evil chairman. Morgan then convinces neighbors of the communist nation to invade with the help the treasury. In the end, Linslow is congrajulated for his congrageousness by Nwabudike Morgan and given a substantial cash prize.

Also:

Chairman Yang and Nwabudike Morgan shook hands as they talked to each other for the first time since arriving on planet. A treaty between the Hive and Morgan industries was signed pledging not to attack each other, and provide assitance in returning home upon entering the others' territory. Attempts to negotiate a trade treaty fell apart as Yang refused to lower tariffs below 200% and Morgan's refusal to permit export of high energy lasers. The Morgan Industries chief negotiator was quoted as saying. "We wil continue to work towards a profitable trade agreement with the Human Hive."


I assume Morgan will be kept around and used for PR purposes.

These articles may be used as far in the future as desired. Sure, Morgan was removed from power, but that doesn't mean he is dead. I figure he has a cushy academic job, or kept in cryogenic sleep and pulled out for public events.

May we want to put in our paper contact with Yang after about 2130 and make up our own battle reports. Besides, the Spartans are making up fake battle reports with Yang for their paper. We could play along and offer financial assistance to buy footage for a movie, or something like that in our paper.

Suffering from ads?

The Morgan Department of Criminal Justice has confirmed having in custody a person whom has engaged in the biggest violation of a Law in Morgan Criminal Law called "Deterence to Conducting Unprofitable Forms of Business Deals" It has been dubbed the "Greed Is Good Law". Namely, the Greed is Good law makes it illegal to knowly give goods and or services without recieving compensation in return. Many high ranking Morganites consider its knowing violation at odds with the very principles Nwabudike Morgan himself founded Morgan Industries upon. This person has been charged with over 500 counts of this heinous crime on the children of Morganites. Strangely, most of the victims are known delinquents, and a few have been caught violating the Greed is Good Law themselves! Far more children are reported to have recieved chunks of carbon.

A father of one of the victimized said "I think this a Hive plot to undermine the values our society holds dear! The Hive hates us and what we stand for, because are wealthy, and they can't afford even a single Xenocomfort Pillow! I know my child has a weak spirit and can only calculate the values of options on futures, but not their derivatives, but this is too much. I hope Chairman Yang dies a slow death in the fungus without a single joule!"

When asked for comment, the perpetrator said, "You are the greediest people on planet and need to learn the meaning of Christmas." When he tried explain the meaning of Christmas, many in the court shrieked in horror. Some even got heart attacks. A few hardliners are calling for his execution as a Hive spy. "He is really a Hive spy trying to subvert us! He even wears a red suit! You can be damned sure he's pushing for a planned economy!"

This menace has been observed to terrorize all of the factions on planet with the aid of a prelanding sled and 8 xenodeer which seem to use gravantonics technology by ways our scientists have yet to understand. Somehow this fellon is able to conduct all his evil deals under in a single planet night. For some reason, this fellow terrorizes planet once a year at night, when the days are the shortest of the entire year. Historians say that a similar fellow lived on earth, but was suspected as a myth.

Knew who it was when you said carbon chunk. By the way, nice work to the men and women of the federal armed prosecutors for putting this menace away.

To: Members of the Board of Public Relations and Propaganda (MoBPRaP)
From: CPO Vander
Subject: Livin' it up at the hotel Paradise

Fellow boardmembers,

I, Vander Vandopolis, plan on taking a well earned vacation for the next week. We have all worked very hard letting the public know how good we all are. Thusly, we all deserve some time off and I plan to set the precedent. I will be spending this leave at the Hotel Paradise on the sunny side of Morgan Vulcanology. My contact with the Board will be sporadic at best, if at all. However, do not let me deter you work- a- holics out there from writing articles. If you feel the need, by all means write away. It will be unfortunate that I will probably not be able to provide you with my creative influence . So goodnight sweet princes, I will return to you soon enough.

CPO Vander
