Unfortunately, for one reason or another, MacAulay abandoned his attempt.
However, I have volunteered to announce that there are a number of us that have been in communication for the past few days and there's another Gaian reboot presently in the works, so turn those frowns upside down, people!
I just started playing the game after a while and have been trying to get back into things. This faction idea seems interesting, particularly the different approach towards diplomacy. I used to fly a Gaian character back in 4.85, but that quickly devolved into boredom due to lack of people around. I agree that the idea behind the Gaian's is fairly unique in Disco, and should be resurrected in some form. I really hope this idea picks up off the ground, because I haven't been very lucky in finding activity in Bretonia in the past (I live on US West coast).
Speaking of things picking up off the ground, I wanted to apply for the recruitment for this faction, but couldn't find a separate thread for recruitment. If you (whoever is in charge of it now) can use another person who doesn't operate in Europe-hours, please direct me on where/how to apply.
:imi pours a shot of local scotch for one of his customers and accepts payment. Before the patron can take possession of the glass, he snatches it and downs the shot himself. As the customer begins to protest, Dimi throws down the empty glass and snarls malevolently: "Wanna f****** talk about it?!" ..."Get outta my bar, you effin' tourist!"
The Corsair smartly backs down and leaves in disgust.
Dimi turns to the camera, leans over the bar and offers an innocent smile...::
I don't know if you caught the transmission from Old Uncle Banger earlier, but instead of the "New Gaian Initiative" there's another faction in the process of creation instead. I can't say much about it right now since it's a work in progress, but when Ms. Annora Ash and the Gaian Guard are ready to bring it public, the news will make the rounds on the comms.
Until then, here. Have a bumper sticker, on the house.
