What is this anyway?

This is 2 things. Firstly, it is a current topics thread, to stop people like me from making duplicate threads, and to help people like you keep track of everything. Secondly, it is a blog spot, where anyone is free to write items (graffiti this thread), making us laugh and helping people who have been away (or are just starting) get right into the game.

Blog Guidelines

You may post blogs in this thread. Don’t PM or ask just post. Here are some guidelines though:
1. Talk about anything within the game, this forum, of the UN world
2. Maintain political neutrality
3. This is not your place to complain -> this is a place to have fun
4. Feel free to comment on anyone else’s blogs
5. If you want to be in character – that fine, if not – that’s fine too
6. Use the [ h1 ], [ h2 ] & [ h3 ] tags to keep everything looking proper
7. Make us laugh if you can

Graffiti is born

Three wise men saw the light in the sky… The shepherds heard the songs of angels… A virgin Mary has given birth too…

Ok, it was sounding good until that last bit.

Graffiti is here. After some light discussion in this thread, I decided to begin Graffiti. This is the proverbial wall where you may graffiti your signature. This is where you shall come for broken links. This is where we shall read our teams best crude handwriting whilst laughing at all the lame jokes they try to pull.

Will it work? Or will it sink to the bottom of the forum, destined for destruction? You decide…

Is Rik Truely God?

Rik - the almighty creator of the world. The one who placed us on green pastures. The one who gave us clear water. The one who knows our enemies...
Is he truely god?

Sure he has all power over the threads. He can sticky... or destroy, at will. He can fix spelling and change votes.
But is he god?

He refused the sacred 2 headed cow and the bitesized 2 headed turtle in this thread. And the echoing words were heard...

Rik Meleet said:

You guys are

I gave you cows; I don't need them back; use them for your nation; it needs it more than I do.

Worship me ... hmmmm

Anyway; thanks for the : beer:

[party ] on dudes.

Is he truely god? He can do anything but he called us - obviously not the truth! How can rik be god and not know that we are geniuses?? Or is he an evil lying god ?

So it is that I propose a new sacraficial system. Sacrafic the first dancing fruits to the almighty RNG .

Citizen the writing is on the wall ... are you proposing that if our brave warriors were meet jigging fruit in our journeys ... that they must be mushed under our heel and toe ... this would have to be ratified by the duly elected Government ... I personally, would prefer that these kinetically imbued fruit would be better caught and harnessed into nutritious entertainment for the kiddies ...

In regards to the theological musings ... you should guard your tongue ... an angry god will roll with a loaded dice ... and all manner of pestilence and ill fortune could be unleashed ...

We insulted the great and all seeing Meleet with banal prattle and meaningless offerings ... Lo and behold Savage Barbarians attacked our exploring soldiery ...

Having pondered this for many many nights while hermitting in the wilderness, I have come to the following conclusion:

The one you call Rik, or the Mighty Meleet, is not a supernatural being. Rather, he has power and control over some arts that our wise men have not yet mastered. Maybe with time we will learn these arts as well! Let us not be distracted into fantastical explanations for the phenomena we see around us. If we stay focussed, we may be able to overcome our current ignorance to master these amazing arts.

Perhaps it is time to aquire some goverment money to use (waste) on a study into the nutritional value of dancing fruit. Time to petition the goverment!

May rik's evil powers not befall my thread.

History of the World

[size=-2]Time for the boring stuff - very breif record of the game so far.[/size]

In The Begining

In the Begining there was this thread. It stated a dangerous idea... a multiteam demogame. Soon enough this thread was created and people began to sign up. Soon teams began to form and after several months, the idea was finally begining to take off.

So many things to do

Soon we started our this thread and began some discussions. Latter we got our own private forum. Soon regent man was giving us ultimatums in his deadline checklist. In the confusion that followed threads where going everywhere. So the Things To Do thread was created to keep us up to date. We managed to get all the things done in time and we awaited the creation of the world.

During the calm...

Whilst Rik was off creating the world we had some jobs to do. Fristly, we had to create a constitution (drafting a constitution). Secondly, we needed to have our first elections. Thirdly, we needed a team banner (Team Banner Creation). Thirdly, we had to contemplate the teaser.

The game begins

Athens was founded! We explored the land and found it was good. Later we created our second city (More info on game events can be found here). The forum broke out in fortune telling and cia analysises and department threads.

Nicely done ... it's almost at the Let There Be Light level

One question, the money you wish to .... ummmm ... channel into dancing fruit research ... the government term is Grant by the way ...

As a minister in the current regime I have had my staff look into your idea ... it is important that one apply to the correct department using the correct format within the deadline stipulated ...

There are two options that you can persue ...

The first, through the Department of Culture and the Arts, where the actual choreography can be incorporated into the development of a unique multimedia event that explores issues of displacement and interconnectivity through movement, light and elaborate costuming ...

The second, an application to the Department of Sport, Fitness and Health which will be used to subject the collected samples to a series of controlled qualitative and quantitative testing procedures with a goal to improve the dietary practices of our general population ...

My staff and I will be only too happy to assist in the application process and to possibly ... in an unofficially capacity you understand ... add support in the right circles ...

I personally wish you luck in your grant seeking endevours ... also and this is confidential ... any application that incorporates a nautical or extended sea voyage discovery theme will be strongly favoured ...

Yours sincereley

Feaurius III
Foreign Minister - Term 2

In that case I will apply for a grant (why didn't i just call it that to begin with?) to BOTH the Department of Culture and the Arts and the Department of Sport, Fitness and Health. I will be avdising on long ocean voyages until we can find some jungle with exotic fruits near the shore. I will also donate any dancing fruit gum to Foriegn Ministry to help with those long hours that you have to put up with the president (expecially in the morning).

I believe that the dancing fruits will become a clear part of our culture, putting our enemies into awe, and providing a sweet healthy refreshment. So where do I apply or have I already?

to help with those long hours that you have to put up with the president (expecially in the morning).

Click to expand...

Watch it mister! The president has spies... er... listeners everywhere.

Also, let it be known, the president is quite chipper and pleasant in the mornings. (or is that the problem?)

Also, let it be known, the president does not talk about himself in the 3rd person.

Oh! Did I say "put up with"?

Silly me - "I meant enjoy the company of" - of course

Ummmmm..... Want some dancing fruit lollies?

Are these delicious kinetic vegetative seeded treats called Jiggy Fruit?

And unfortunately due to the expenses of having regular Morning Ministerial Meetings ...

Splish ... Splash ... Ripple ... Soak ... Splosh

... Meetings I must add, that are essential for the smooth running of our fledgling nation ... which as you can see ... are held in the most Spartan of surroundings ...


Anyway due to expense of these tedeously and arduous briefing sessions, the Government coffers are unable to support every worthy project which seeks funding ... Therefore and unfortunately, all grant applications will undergo a lengthy period of analysis and vetting ...

... also No Double Dipping ... one Grant per Project ...



>>> We Interrupt this Government Sponsored Speakfest >>>

Bobius Reporticus will inform you all live from the Riiing of Deeebate

Behind the Fanfare Curtian
"Anyway Hans I tell her that what I have is very big, the biggest in the village"
"Did she believe you?"
"No Jakob, she did not. So I must to her show..."
"Damn it all ... Quick !!! ... We must NOW loudly Blow !!!"

TOOOO - TAAA - TOOOOOO - TAAAA - TOOOOOOO​

Laaaaadies and Gentlemennnnnnnn

We present the no-holds barred ... UN Hi-jinx

In the Righteous Corner ... Representing Team TNT ... the Explosive ... the Demanding ... Dynomight with the Short Fuse ... I present Provolution ...

And In the Other Side ... the Argumentative ... the Nooo Nonsense Vindicator ... from teeeeam KISS ... we have Tubby_Rower


Thanks and welcome Citizens ... I, Bobius Reporticus will narrate to you all this sad tale of woe and ill goings on ...

The conflict started when Provolution called out a time foul on team Doughnut ...

The Dee Nutters kept way down low and were championed by the unexpected appearance of KISS' Tubby_Rower ... who challenged Provo with honour affronted ... to and fro the word duel went ... thrust and parry in angered discourse they raged ... with sideline slanging from the unrepentant Magnusmarcus of team D-Nut ...

... with first blood about to be drawn ... Enter from the Corner of Judgement ... the restorer of Order ... the pinup for Honesty and Fairplay ... our esteemed referee ... Ginger_Ale ... who with but one mighty glare ... sternly and promptly quenched the fires of rage ...


This correspondant thinks this will not be the last these mighty wordsmiths clash ... we are led to believe that each has a veritable dictionary of weapons to cast ...

- EDITUS -​

And then it came to pass that the Great and All Powerfull Meleet was called to erase all memory of this act ... and so it was done ...

Evidence all removed from the weavings of the world's tapestry ... forgotten forever by all ... disolved into the mists of times past ... becoming a tale for the Bards ... of fable and myth ...

Except for a certain text ... a record which claimed witness to the event ... A text kept well hidden and sacred ... Stampled with the sigil of Mighty Team MIA ... spoken now only in whispers ...

A sign that we are Blessed by Rik ...

OK we have the first entry for the wall graffiti competition. I'm sorry whoever sent this to me but I cant figure out your CFC alias from your email, so if you see this please put up your hand...

Ok... first wall with graffiti...

Now wall without graffiti... please feel free to add a little graffiti and then post here so that the whole team can graffiti the wall. (easiest, though not prettiest, way - just use the spray can tool in paint)

(I've edited this a little from the email that was sent)
(edit: image reoved so people are forced to use the lower ones)

The fe should have given it away or you could have checked Citizen List

Tag to next vandal

I did check the citizen list but I missed it. Thank you for the wall.

EDIT: Image deleted. See below.

Fe, LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the "ring of deeebate" comentary! Too funny!

@ General_W ... I think Meleager wants us to upload the preveous wall ... add to it and then DL for the next citizen to add to

Thats the idea. If it wasn't clear I want everyone to build upon the last persons graffiti so we can get a team one done. fe3333au's idea actually.

Ok - in keeping with the theme....

My scaled back addittion!
