HIVE GOES TO WAR!

DataJack Roze, leader of the rogue faction the "Data Angels", has declared the Human Hive 'An assault on free- thinking peoples of Planet!' Then she declared open war on the Human Hive.
"It's obvious that she is insane." Commented Director of intellegence Comrade HongHu, "We all know that the Hiverian people think for themselves. How could they not when they have the fair and balanced reporting of PRAVDA?" How indeed?
But fear not, comrades. There is no threat to you. For The Data Angels are very much the inferior combatant in this war. They will succumb to our superior troops and speeders. They will run away from our mighty legions! Glory to the Hive!


---------------------------------------------------

ATTENTION CITIZENS!

Your humble Hive leadership needs you!

The evil & wicked Data 'Angels' have declared war on you! In response to this unwarranted declaration, the Military Department has authorized drafts of Hive citizens! A draft lottory will be held every other sunday (So that it does not interfere with you very good work in the factories!). Roughly 10,000 citizens will be drafted each day, so make sure that you are ready! You will need:

HIVE GOVERNMENT DISSOLVED!

Cheif corrispondant Comrade Honghu was there through the thick of it to give us this report of the great chairman's Great Leap Forward:
The Great Leap Forward in 2145 followed by three years of natural disaster had become the biggest economic failure in the history of the Human Hive. In late 2146, amid signs of rising popular restiveness, the CCC admitted that the favorable production report had been exaggerated. The mismanagement of the Hive politburo had led to serious economic consequences. Food shortage was experienced in multiple cities resulting mass reduction of population. Scientists were assigned to act as doctors at the presence of famine resulting absolutely freeze of technological development. Mass amount of workers were ordered to immigrate for cultivation of new areas, only to find destination unreachable and/or unworkable and workers were forced to re-immigrate to original cities. This had led to exhaustion and demoralization of the peasantry and of the intellectuals, not to mention the party and government cadres at all levels.

In the mean time Deputy Chairman Jamski, seeking the opportunity that Chairman Voltaire was out of office for his South Hive Tour, decided to seize the military power in his hands and try to oust Chairman Voltaire in a coup. Between November 17th to 25th, 2146, attempts of attacks on Voltaire were carried out when he tried to go back to his office at the Hive. Chairman Voltaire was able to avoid the assasination because of advance intelligence reports. In these nervous days guards were placed every 10-20 Meters on Voltaire's route.

Following the crush of Jamski’s counter revolution activities, Chairman Voltaire started the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, to restore the vitality of communism in the Human Hive. Chairman Voltaire sought to dismantle the complex governmental structure that had developed after the establishment of the Human Hive. All government officials and intellectuals were sent out to work in the fields alongside the peasants. Tens of thousands were executed. Voltaire was named supreme commander of the nation and army. Comrade HongHu advocated restructure of the government starting with relinquishing of the party’s long-standing supply system, which guarantees high level officials with monthly supply of xeno-doughnuts, unlimited visits to Japanese girls and free passes to the enlightment centers. “If the supply system has played an important role in ensuring the final victory of the revolution, why should it be replaced now in its entirety by the wage system?” She was quoted to say, “....this is because the supply system is contradictory to the principles of 'to each according to his work' and 'equal pay for equal work'. ...He who performs better labor and does better work gets a better pay, and equal work will earn equal pay. In this way, one can be caused to interest himself, from the standpoint of material interests, in the results of his labor and to link up his personal interests with the overall interest of the state...”

The restructuring movement is deemed to be successful. The Human Hive has started to recover from earlier disorder and chaos. Newly elected officials, although still lacking in experience, are working day and night with great enthusiasm. The citizens of the Hive is in high spirit entering Chairman Voltaire’s birthday celebration.

The Supreme People's Court of the Human Hive
In the matter of People of the Human Hive vs. the Jamski Counter-Revolutionary Movement
Case No. 2145-0001

Report and Order

I. History of the case

On Nov 19, 2145, the Central Continuing Committee of the Human Hives ordered that “the Supreme People’s Court take on the matter of investigating and ruling on the matter of the coup”.



Upon receiving the court notice, comrade Jamski stated that he would represent himself and later plead not guilty.

Based upon principle of “not guilty until proved” the court has offered the defendant due process. The prosecution and the defendant each had opening statement and opportunities of questioning of the witness. The witness also received questions from the bench. Both sides waived closing statement.

The court was closed on Nov 25, 2145.

II. Discussions

The prosecution stated that comrade Jamski had violated the Constitution and Laws by attempting to overthrow the legitimate government.



The defendant argued that Comrade Jamski was not guilty because he was simply “fill[ing] in for the Chairman while he was away” and “defend[ing] the people from the dictaorship of the military”.

The defendant has successfully established evidence that the Chairman had not been active during the period of the aforementioned “coup”. However, the court finds that the defendant was not simply carrying out the duty of the deputy chairman to fill in for the Chairman.



The court doesn’t believe that the job responsibility of the deputy chairman constitutes actions of deposing the chairman and sentencing him to prison. The above quotations from the defendant clearly showed that the defendant was not simply carrying out the duty of the deputy chairman. The court finds that the defendant’s argument is invalid.

The defendant further claimed that he could not be responsible for overthrowing the government because he “was the government”. The court finds this statement shows nothing but the swelling of the defendant’s egoism.

During the trial the defendant admitted that he had attempted a coup although it was not “planned”. He also admitted that during the coup he had skimmed Kody’s post and posted a worse turn than the Kody turn. However, the defendant maintains that he was not doing that for his own interest and that the result of his actions had “awak[en] the Hive from its slumbers”, therefore his actions are “the correct behavior”.

The court concludes that the defendant had good intentions but chosen the wrong path. Had he recognized what he did was wrong, the court would be considering the minimum penalty. However, the defendant had not shown any remorse. In fact the defendant had already been planning another coup.



IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:

1. That Comrade Jamski is not guilty of Sabotage of the socialist system.
2. That Comrade Jamski is guilty of Violation of the Constituion and Laws.
3. That Comrade Jamski be awarded 30 years of hard labor in specially constructed SPAM factory.
4. That Comrade Jamski is guilty of ibid while in public office.
5. That Comrade Jamski be banned from any superier government positions of the Human Hive.
6. That Comrade Jamski is guilty of High treason against the people.
7. That Comrade Jamski be awarded with 10 years hard labour in the Hive farms where he could contribute to the improvement of teraforming.
8. That Comrade Jamski is guilty of High treason against the State.
9. That Comrade Jamski’s action has brought unrecoverable adverse effect to the welfare of the Human Hive.
10. That Comrade Jamski be awarded maximum penalty and be exciled from the Human Hive.
11. That this order shall become effective on Dec 2, 2146.

By authority of the state of Human Hive

NEW VISION OF THE FUTURE FOR MANKIND!

-- In celebration of the Glorious Chariman's birthday, Hive theorists have theorized the future of mankind. Cheif Theorist Vev had this to say:

Behold citizens of Chiron, the time has arrived for all those blessed ones to place their mark on this virgin world. No more shall we be confined to the frailities of human flesh, conditioning and thoughts for we shall be the legions the mind of the many who would lead forward to the future. Once such thoughts were a dream, an futile hope we cling to desparately wishing what transpires shall be true. Rather through this promised land of Chiron as all be drawn together in the vast conscious network planet fungus shall our consciousness merge and mingle and be free to express ourselves and thoughts without fear or the oppression of tyranny. For those who have the drive and the will shall transcend our mortal coil, beyond our mudane self, where their spirit shall rise and the unfortunate meeked soul shall inherit what is of the plant unable to join their brethens in the infinity circuit of the planet network.

Come the hour of reckoning is at hand and the the culmination of the our specis shall be be integrated. Release ourselves to the Transcendance Cycle to break free ... free to what lies beyond our imagination.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHAIRMAN!! 200YRS DOWN, AND AN INFINITE TO GO!!!

[Nubclear]

Your GOD hasn't gotten HIS "Happy Birthday" issue yet

[Vander]

Well, "god" hasn't told us when his birthday is.

[Nubclear]

August 9th

[Jamski]

Gah, my dirty washing for all to see

-Jam

[Hercules]

Pirate intelligence services scans content for hidden messages.

Pirates will debate whether to ship out to the Hive, a container load of Black underwear (some featuring Skull and Crossbone) for their troops. Unless the troops either don't need or don't wear any.

Ok there was too much 'Amber fluid' in our submitted batch of Xenorum.

[Vander]

I don't know if the troops want them, but I bet the navy boys will want 'em.

[Snowflake]

Chief Editor you forgot the transcript. Do you want me to add it?

[Drogue]

Sad to see Jamski leave the Hive. However it would be a shame to lose him. Therefore, I hereby give him perminant sanctury in the 'between land' that is the Rec Commons. A room will be built at the back, where Jamski may stay.

[Maniac]

I'm sure that Chairman Voltaire will have a big enough heart to grant Jamski a pardon for his coup.

[Drogue]

If PRAVDA is the truth, then it seems not However exiled is spelt wrong, so maybe it has been sabotaged by another rival group

Don't spoil the next issue.

[Octavian X]

We won't spoil the part where it's revealed that the court has no actual power.

[Snowflake]

Jamski's pardoned by the Chairman but he's been hiding in his giant office mourning I think and refusing to talk to any one.

[GeneralTacticus]

Is Jamski going to be expect to serve all three of his sentences at once? That might prove tricky...

[Snowflake]

Opening Statement of Prosecution:

Comrade Citizen Jamski has been charged with sabotage of the socialist system (Article 1, Section 2, Constitution of the People of the Human Hive), violation of the Constitution and Laws of the People of the Human Hive (Article 4, Section 3 and 4, ibid.), violation of the Constitution and Laws of the People of the Human Hive while entrusted with public office and the maintenance of the Constitution of the People of the Human Hive (Article 4, Section 3 and 4, ibid.), high treason against the State of the People of the Human Hive via attempted overthrow of the legitimate government of the People, high treason against the People of the Human Hive for attempted overthrow of the State of the People of the Human Hive while entrusted with power by the People, betray of the sacrosanct trust of the People in their government, actions resulting in harm to the People of the Human Hive during the attempted coup, contravening government orders, et al.

The Central Continuing Committee of the People of the Human Hive, acting on behalf of the People of the Human Hive as their voice, bring about the aforementioned charges against Comrade Citizen Jamski for his treasonous actions. The Central Continuing Committee of the People of the Human Hive turns this matter over to the Supreme People’s Court for arbitration. The People reserve the right to bring about charged against Comrade Citizen Jamski in posterum.

-People’s Provisional Prosecutor

Opening Statement of Defendent:

The socialist system proclaims the equality of all mankind. I demonstrated my equality with the chairman, and also acted in defense of the socialist system in initating war against the capitalist pigdog Data Angels.

As Deputy Chairman, my role is to fill in for the Chairman while he is away. I defended the people from the dictatorship of the military, as represented by the Marshal, and this is called violation of the law? If this is the case, then the law is at fault.

I could not be responsible for the overthrow of the government. As the Dep. Chair I am the government in the absence of the chairman, or any other member of the CCCP, as was the case. I was simply doing my duty.

Compare and contrast with the chairman's attempts to hire the counter-revolutionary Kody as a consultant. This is betrayal of the Human Hive, letting our course be governed by one who has left our brotherhood of comradeship for the world of capital.

As stated before, I was the government, by virtue of the absence of all other party members, and my position as Deputy Chairman, so how could I contravene my own orders?

I rest my case (or whatever they say)

-Jam

Audience 1: Are you saying Comrade Kody, father of the Hiverian industry, founder of the world leadership of our glorious community and hero to the masses, currently operating in diguise amongst the capitalist pig-dogs of a place codenamed "Down under" to investigate the habits of our future enemies on the battlefield, this superb person was a counter-revolutionist???

* The furious Comrade from the audience who disrupted the oath procedure was immediately calmed by the present Crimson Guards. *

Judge HongHu: Parties who intend to intervene must step forward and state so in the court. Then you can proceed to question the witness.

Judge HongHu: We are now going to proceed into questioning of the witnesses. To speedy up the trial, we'll do questioning from the parties and questioning from the bench in the same time.

Judge HongHu: Jamski, do you swear that you'll tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth?

* Jamski puts one hand on the Conclave Bible *

Witness Jamski: I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth, so help me Googliegod.

Judge HongHu: Ok the witness is sweared in and open for questioning. I'm going to begin with some of my own questions.

Judge HongHu: Jamski, why did you attempt to overthrow the Chairman?

Counsel Jamski: Objection, your honour!
Counsel Jamski: This question assumes that there WAS a chairman to overthrow at the time. I simply assumed his function in his absence under the assumption that he would not ever return.

Judge HongHu: Overruled. There is no evidence that the Chairman has been absent from his office. Witness must answer the question.

Counsel Jamski: Please may I show you this document :

* Jamski hands a copy of the forum-post-record to the court *

Counsel Jamski: It clearly indicates a criminal absense of the chairman.

* Judge HongHu flips through the record and then hand it to the other judges.

Judge HongHu: Hmmm you may have a point there. Let me change my questions: When did you start to plan the coup?
Witness Jamski: The coup was never planned. It was entirely spontanious.

Judge HongHu: Why did you spontaniously decide that a coup is needed?
Witness Jamski: Because someone must be in control of the Hive, to give instructions on a yearly basis. It was my responsibilty as Deputy Chairman to fill the position.

Judge HongHu: What makes you feel that you cannot effectively give instructions at the position of the deputy chairman? You simply see this as an opportunity for you to seize control of the party, isn't it true?
Witness Jamski: I considered that the constitution demands that the position of Chairman be occupied in order to function. At the time control of the party was not an aim of mine.

Judge HongHu: Does the constitution demands a coup must happen in time of absense of a Hive official? Doesn't the constitution provide ways to elect and replace officials?
Witness Jamski: (no answer)

Judge HongHu: What have you done during the period of the unsuccessful coup?
Witness Jamski:I have played the turn, and posted it on to the university to the best of my abilities.

Judge HongHu: Were you aware that the Hive's outside consultant Comrade Kody was also doing the turn in the same time? If yes, why did you decide you should discard Comrade's Kody's effort and proceed with your coup and turn?
Witness Jamski: No.

Judge HongHu: Have you read the post from Comrade Kody in the turn tracking thread that indicated that he was planning to do the turn?
Witness Jamski: No, I read the post that SOMEONE should play the turn. I did so.

Judge HongHu: What is the consequence of your actions during the unsuccessful coup?
Witness Jamski: It is hard to see, but the Hive has probably not been 100% efficient. On the positive side, one effect has been to awaken the Hive Party Members from thier sleep and get back posting again. I count this as a successful failed coup.

Judge HongHu: Would you agree that the return of the party members should mostly attibute to Comrade HongHu's persistent effort since her return?
Witness Jamski: (no answer)

Judge HongHu: What punishment do you believe you deserve?
Witness Jamski: I deserve a medal.

* HongHu hand Jamski a piece of paper.

Honghu was lucky and caught me on MSN today. Rather rare recently as I’ve been very busy with work.

She basically said the hive turn is stuck at 100+ hours.

I’ll see what I can do.

I don’t have the time that I used to, and I’ve been gearing down from my play run and into my work run. I seem to only have good focus for one or the other. So I reckon this will be the last turn I play for a couple of months until I get tired of just doing work.

Anyway from those that I’ve talked to Rokossovky won’t be playing the turn anytime soon. So I’ll play it. Fortunately, if I cut out all the insane 5 year icromanagement, group decision making, informing the team, diplomatic negotitations etc. It should only take me 3 hours max.

To the hive:
Since nobody has the time anymore, don’t try and follow what I used to do. Just play the turn as best you can with the limited time you have.

Judge HongHu: Do you recognize this is the post that Comrade Kody posted before you post the turn?
Witness Jamski: He could have posted it before, but I read this one after I posted the turn. NOTE : I removed my turn in favour of Kody's when the mistake was noticed.

Judge HongHu: Do you maintain that your entire intention of the failed coup was to serve the party's best interest?
Witness Jamski: Yes, it was hardly in my own interest. I am a very lazy person, why would I want more work?

Judge HongHu: Do you maintain that there's no better way to achieve your best intention?
Witness Jamski: There may well have been better ways, but my way had the desired results. Look at the post rate on this forum!

Judge HongHu:Would you agree that the post rate on this forum should also be mostly attibuted to Comrade HongHu's persistent effort since her return?
Witness Jamski: No. Mostly is an overstatement. At least 1/3 perhaps

Judge HongHu: My last question. Do you love the Chairman?
Witness Jamski: Only in a homosexual sense, wait that's dismeanour H
Witness Jamski: Sure, he's the father of our nation, who wouldn't love him.

Judge HongHu: The court is now in recess until the other judges finish preparing their questions.

[Snowflake]

Judge Octavian X: I've only one question for the defendant: Do you now swear your everlasting loyalty to this government of the Human Hive?

Witness Jamski: I swear everlasting loyalty to the Human Hive.

State Prosecutor: If it so pleases the Court the Prosecution would like to submit the following communiqué from Ex-Deputy Chairman Jamski to the administration of the Human Hive:

* State Prosecutor hands each judge and the defendant attorney a copy of paper.

I am assuming power and control over the Human Hive. The Chairman is deposed. I shall shortly announce my new deputy chairman. Vander is confirmed as the permanent PRAVDA editor. Ex-Chairman Voltaire is sentenced to prison for his non-action in the face of duty, and his lack of response to the resignation of the planning authorities.

All conduct of Hive business and control of the military is now my responsibility! (until someone takes it from my dead hands)

The Marshal is stripped to the rank of Private until he can excuse his behavior in DESERTING from the glorious Hive Armed Forces in the moment of need.

State Prosecutor: The People would like to know why Citizen Jamski felt it necessary to depose our beloved Chairman since the Constitution gave him the authority to act. The Ex-Deputy Chairman’s words prove that his intent was not the best interests of the People, since he could have very well done so within the powers given to him by the Constitution, but rather the overthrow of the People’s beloved Chairman. This clearly is an act of treason.

Witness Jamski: The Chairman had ceased to act in the best interests of the Hive, AND HE CONTINUES TO DO SO! I stand by my actions as the correct behavior! His abandonment of his post was a serious treasonable offence.

Judge HongHu: I would like to ask a clarification from the witness. Are you pleading not guilty in this case? Are you contending that you will continue your action against the Chairman?

Witness Jamski: I plead not guilty, or this trial wouldn't even be happening. As for continuing the plot... I certainly don't want to play any more turns right now.

Judge Comrade Tassadar: Comments to the Defendant: I suggest you tone down your arrogance. Your actions nearly collapsed the Hiverian government and sent us to war. This is hardly deserving of a medal.

Judge Comrade Tassadar: Questions for the Defendant: Do you recognized that your coup has failed? Please answer YES or NO.

Witness Jamski: Yes, sadly

Judge Comrade Tassadar: Do you recognize that Chairman Voltaire is the legitimate head of the government of the Human Hive? YES or NO.

Witness Jamski: Yes, sadly

Judge Comrade Tassadar: Do you recognize that your attempted coup was illegal? YES or NO.

Witness Jamski: No, because in the absence of the chairman, I decided what was legal or not.

Judge Comrade Tassadar: Do you believe you should be punished? YES or NO.

Witness Jamski: No. As stated before, I should be rewarded for "awaking the Hive" from its slumbers.

Judge Comrade Tassadar: Do you believe that Comrade Kody is counter-revolutionary? YES or NO.

Witness Jamski: If counter-revolutionary means putting private pleasures such as study, work or a social life before the Hive, then yes. Sorry Kody.

Judge Comrade Tassadar: Chairman Voltaire and I have had much contact in the past, including during the time in question. With this information, do you still stand by your claim that "he would not ever return"?

Witness Jamski: With all due lack of respect an absent chairman talking privately to a man who claims to be god is hardly something for a court of law. Perhaps you should withdraw this question.

Judge Comrade Tassadar: As deputy chairman, you take "Chairman" position until he returns. Why did you attempt to overthrow the Chairman and permanently occupy his position?

Witness Jamski: Because he had not only been absent for a while, but had been neglecting the job for a long while before. For the good of the Hive I thought a new chairman would be needed. Also, I doubted anyone would even notice, let alone care.

Judge Comrade Tassadar: Were you or were you not in collaboration with Comrade Citizen Vander in this failed coup?

Witness Jamski: Who is on trial here?

Judge HongHu: Judge Tass's question is a valid question. Witness must answer the question.

Witness Jamski: I'll keep silent.

Judge Comrade Tassadar: All the peoples know Kody is a master at playing turns. Why did you willingly and knowingly nullify Kody's turn when you know he is better than ANYONE, including YOU, at playing them?

Witness Jamski: I acted under instruction from Googliegod. You wouldn't dare to go against his words.

Judge HongHu: Another follow-up question. When you initially announced that your turn was the official one did you receive secret instruction from Googliegod?

Witness Jamski: Googliegod made me do it!!!! He said he'd press end-turn if I didn't!

Judge HongHu: Jamski, will you now agree that you are guilty of counter-revolutionary act, and that you will accept whatever punishment the party and the court award to you?

Witness Jamski: OK

* Judge HongHu hesitated for a long time, before she finally asked her final question gravely:

Judge HongHu: Dear deputy chairman, I have always had the greatest respect of you. From your earlier testimony, I understood that you had performed your action because you believed that it was for the best interest of the Hive. My question to you now is: Do you still maintain that it is to the Hive's interest to "dispose" the Chairman? Or will you choose to support and help the Chairman in his future endeavor of leading the Hive to our final success?

Witness Jamski: My answer depends on the future actions of the chairman. If my "coup" has woken him up to both his power and his responsibilities, then I will continue to serve him to the best of my abilities, either as deputy or in whatever role he assigns me. If he acts to the detriment of the Hive I love, I cannot stand by and see all of our hard work wasted through disinterested politicos.

Judge HongHu: Any other questions from the judges and parties?

Judge HongHu: Hearing none. We will now proceed to closing statement from the prosecution and the defendant.

Counsel Jamski: WAIT! I'd like to call Googliegod as a witness!

Judge HongHu: You may call Googliegod as a witness.

State Prosecutor: OBJECTION! The People do not see what relevant information Googliegod could provide to this case, the People will withdraw their objection if the Defendant could beforehand elaborate for the court what purpose he has in calling Googliegod as a witness.

Judge HongHu: Sustained. Counsel Jamski must elaborate his purpose of calling Gooliegod as a witness.

Judge HongHu: Looks like that Counsel Jamski is not able to present a convincing argument. The court therefore moves to the next step, closing argument. The court will adjourn in 19 metric hours.

Judge HongHu: The court is now adjourned. Judges, please meet me at the chamber.

[Vander]

Yea, that was a little long to put into PRAVDA. I decided against it, but it is fine here for all the world to see. ('Cept Jamski....)

[Nubclear]

And I must say, that helped the Hive spam a little more But now its desolate again As is CyCon.

[GeneralTacticus]

I must repeat my question. Will Jamski be expected to serve all three sentences at once?

If he hadn't been pardoned by the Chairman he would be expected to work on the spam factory in the daytime and the farms in the nights before he gets exiled.

Though I don't think the Chairman's pardon served its purpose since the ex deputy had been refusing to work for the party ever since he received that pardon.

[Jamski]

I don't want a pardon. I want my "Deputy Chairman" title back. Do you know how nasty it is to workl side by side with common drones in the lower levels? I need sunlight dammit! And fine wines! Don't forget the fine wines!

-Jam

[Vander]

Yea, fine wines are great! The Chairman just sent me a case; congradulating me on the PRAVDA. Let's see here.... Ohh, there's some good vintages here.

What's this at the bottom? Old German? Let me translate....
Deputy... Chairman's... private... reserve...

[Snowflake]

Fine wines are now only available for people who work, not people who whine.

[Jamski]

Gah, work is for the common Drones...
