This is a little worrying; I've been led to believe that up until this point, that they were basically the basis for Disco RP. So... this is no longer the case?
As he said, it points out the potentional paths.
Time moves on. Changes will occur, but in what direction? Up to you. Same said with Vanilla ones.

This is true even of cardamine itself, which some may claim is a life enhancer, a path to enlightenment, or an insidious plot by criminal syndicates. Infocards are not divine truth. They are a finger pointing down a path of many possibilities.

Let's not mix rumors with infocards, shall we?
I agree. If inforcards can be treated as "subject to interpretation, refutation and such" and they "are not statements of fact", then it might have consequencies like people claiming cardamine is not altering their DNA, xenobiotic filters might be produced without bacterias from planet Atka and Nox without bacteria from oceans of Marseille, cryocubes´ self-destruct mechanisms can be bypassed and thus all its secret revealed and used by anoyne or that Gaian Wildlife can be freely grown and then exported anywhere, not just on planet Gaia.
Sure, you can do roleplay about trying this stuff, but if you can freely claim it as fact, it will cause more harm than good because RP need some boundaries and basics which you can build on.
After reading some posts in here, I think people confused something. DNA issues cannot be averted. They only can be treated - in a form of Stabiline, which factually is a faulty untested drug. Even that is not enough to revert DNA collapse or modification - it's more like a form of placebo, giving away fatal effects of Cardi withdrawal.

Treatment doesn't always end up with being cured. ^.^ Treatment is actually, well, approach to an illness.

I find it now a little worring too, but then - we still remember Nagano, which still is labeled as Tau Borderworlds, making newbies not really aware of system classification fall into trouble. Well, speaking of which, there are no Gallic Borderworlds as well inside that classification (they should be called by name in server rules OR we should make certain IDs changed).
