Do we post articles beforehand so the editor can choose and censor edit articles before sending it out to the weekly newsletter?

Here's a short article I'm working on, feel free to comment or add.


The First City

The Hive survivors of the ill-fated Unity ship touched down safetly on this new world and founded their first city 'The Hive'. The old world is a memory now, and the new world beckons for a glorious empire free from all of humanity's unwanted legacies. Already, diligent workers toiled day and night in this crucial moment to establish a thriving empire.

The people of the Hive have ingeniously constructed massive underground chambers to house all its people to protect from the harsh climate of this untamed world. Not only is it safer, it keeps the topside free from the unslightly blight of human handiwork that had plagued the old world.

But you've only used "glorious" once and you could praise the workers some more...

I'm going to make a PRAVDA Landing Special Edition soon... More subs welcomed.

Article: &quot;Spirit of Yang&quot; Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Itīs been a sunny day (both suns shining ) when the first group of environmental engineers left the landing site for their first mission on Chiron: Survey of the surroundings.

The glorious workers, currently producing a whole city out of thin air, gathered along the Communism Avenue to watch their brave brothers leave! Tenthousands of Colonists joined the "parade", most of them sitting on the top of the giant colony pods, waving to their comrades who stay to help tirelessly in building the capital.

Surrounded with the outstanding well trained and equipped troops of the first and second "Peopleīs Army Scouts", acclaimed as heroes by the watching masses, the huge treck slowly approached the south-western city gates.

There, the guards had to hold back the ecstatic crowd for their own security. Unknown dangers may hide out there.

Climbing the mountains to the south, the env. engineers separated from the colonists in order to examine a strange looking structure. More than 40 meters high, it seemes to be a kind of monolith, although we donīt know who has built it or what purpose it serves.

All those, who unselfishly volunteered to touch and even climb the artefact for the good of their people, insistet that a great spirit flew through their bodies, making them drop all fears and sorrows. Encouraged by that, they are now building up a camp around the structure.

The monolith is being named "The spirit of Yang".

It is expected that that site holds great benefits to the Hive!

This article has not yet been revised by the Ministery of Information.

Vev:
Be sure to prolongen the part where the untired efforts of the working class to establish a base in that rough climate are praised!
And it would be fine if you could include the geographical locations (the river, the coast, the mountains...)

BTW: Are the landmarks being named by general consens or by whoever first does so? (Of course the Hive government is allowed to alter names afterwards...)

Work in progress, feel free to comment and edit unnecessary sections

The Landing

The successful landing of the Hive colony pod heralds a new era for the common people to work selflessly towards human progress. The old world is a memory now, and the new world beckons for a glorious nation free from humanity's decadent legacies and excesses. The people of the Hive was saddened that the survivors of the ill-fated Unity ship were divided and scatter across the world. Making conquest that much more difficult.

During the perilous, bone jarring descent to planet surface, the weak minded fools were nerve-stapled until unconscious people bravely weathered the journey admits the surrounding chaos. “I was scared especially after seeing through the window, Morgan’s pod skewed into Lal's pod and both exploded and then there was much rejoicing.” said one observer.

The First City

The glorious workers toiled tirelessly day and night in this crucial moment to construct their first city named “The Hive”. With the Hive’s guiding foresight, this city, along with all future cities built by the Hive, will entirely be underground. This engineering marvel ingeniously uses massive underground chambers to house its entire people to protect them from the harsh climate of this untamed world. Not only is the city a safer place to live, it also keeps the topside free from the unsightly blight of crude human handiwork that had plagued the old world.

Chairman Voltaire commemorated all the diligent workers who constructed the city with the grand opening at the great Unity Square. “With hard work, dedication and most of all, people willing to work a common cause, we can build ourselves a bloody and tyrannical great nation,” said Chairman Voltaire in front of a horde of cheering masses each waving a red flag.


People Power

The Chairman has declared that to strive forward in this new world, we need more people to claim and tamed this planet. This can only be achieve with lots of copulation by a horde of willing men and young nubile females a strong family devotion to nurture the next generation of Hive citizens.

Actually I submitted our first turn a while back, nothing of significance occurred. I believe my [brief] report was in the First Turns thread.

New monolith here, some mineral resources there, colony pod gamble didn't pay off, nothing bad happened.
