Team Monkey will announce their Forestation policy here.

Zero · June 19, 2003, 19:46

We are currently finalizing on just what our forestation policy will be and how this is gonna effect our gameplay. Why is this important? because it will effect the diplomatic relationship with all of you in a totally new way.

Team Monkey is far from typical "try to gain gain until we reach victory" style of play. Much like sunshine, we have a goal that we will prioritize over victory... and goal having nothing to do with benefiting in the game.... (tabemono's doesnt really fit into this type cause their goal coincides with benefiting in the game anyway) so this is gonna be very important for you guys to know.

When my team members have agreed to the specific aspects on the forestation policy, I will announce it here.

Zero, Bravo! Bravo! Bra....

I initially read it as "foreskin", so you can imagine how confused I was.

That's for dirty old men to think about!

mrmitchell · June 20, 2003, 14:46

I'll push for no deforestation inside Tabemono. Besides, forests are sources of lots of game and meat.

Kloreep · June 20, 2003, 17:00

Yes, and fruit... :drool:

Rhothaerill · June 20, 2003, 17:26

I don't know, there are some monkeys hanging off those trees that would make for some good eatin'.

Hot_Enamel · June 20, 2003, 19:15

Human skulls are so easily crushed.

Especially the ones owned by the fat people who eat so much... they make the sweetest popping sound.

BigFree · June 20, 2003, 19:28

I just want to remind the monkey team that you do need Sunshine in order to grow trees....

Perhaps an early allance is in order...

Konquest02 · June 20, 2003, 20:10

We don't know what makes trees grow. We just know we should not cut them down!

/me climbs back on his tree and grabs a papaya...

Mmmm... Tastes good!

rendelnep · June 21, 2003, 08:11

Guy de Loimbard will cut any trees he sees fit you saucy fish smelling feastering consumer of mangoes. I point my finger at in a abusive mannor at you and Laugh, you stinking second cousin of a Lemur

Our Lumberjacks will cut down trees, eat their lunches then go to the lava-try.On Wednesdays they go shoppin' and have buttered scones for tea.That is our policy of deforestation and if you haven't noticed already I don't team Monkey

Note: we however will refuse to cut the Larch as it is a iconic symbol

I expected nothing less from a team that:

"Puts on women's clothing, and hangs around in bars".

Ive tried monkey brains before. Wasnt something I enjoyed at all. (Maybe if I didnt know it was monkey brain I might have enjoyed it more)

Never tried it. Never wanted to. The scene from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was about as close as I'd want to be.

But the Monkeys will make good food for Tabemono's table.

After the long wait... here is our policy.. publicly announced for first time..

- Deforestation is evil (therefore must be prevented)
- Deforestation commited by other team is worse diplomatic hit for us than some serious hits such as espionage agst us etc.
- Deforestation can be negotiated
- Most agreed deforestation will require forestation of at least 1 or 2 times the tile that team will deforest. (Doesnt matter what tile, but tundra will count as 0.5 tile)
- Deforestation of 5 tile radius from capitol is automatically tolerated
- Since we dont have immediate contact with all teams, we will not be able to protect the world's garden for sometime. Team may try to get away with deforesting since we wont know about it, but if we catch them doing it (either thru 3rd party telling us or whatever) It is treated as any other deforestation.
- We may give deforestation as diplomatic bargain or gift
- But we will not overuse granting the team the priviledge to cut down our homes
- Forestation is always welcomed
- Cutting Jungles count as cutting forests too!
- We will also limit ourselves from deforesting too much tiles and subject ourselves with same handicap.
- We will also obey the 1 deforest for 2 forest as best as we can.

Some things still debated, but any progression halted when Simian started throwing monkey poos and it became a mnokey party afterwards. After our orangutan janitors clean up the mess, we'll continue the debate.

Our chimpanzees are still working on just how early deforestation policy should be governed (since none of us can plant forest).

Octavian X · June 24, 2003, 00:30

We will cut down all the mightiest trees in your forests... with...

A HERRING!!

Darekill · June 24, 2003, 02:02

Any idea how much Wood a single giant foot can stomp?
I think it can be an awfull lot of...
Hey trees are only there to be cut. Since they are our only enemies right now i will anounce proud all victorys of our famos woodcutter troops!

DaveMcW · June 24, 2003, 02:08

Come on guys, declaring war before we even build our capital?

I am certain we can find a solution that benefits both Team Monkey and the Monty Python lumber industry.

I just hope they don't demand a shrubbery...

So, I could tell you [Team X] was cutting down like mad when in reality it was foresting? And you wouldn't know!

Stupid Human

Team Monkey will demand better proof than that.

Yes - send the rain to us, where the simians of the rain forest hang out.

And btw - we are serious about our eco policy.

rendelnep · June 28, 2003, 07:12

Well think we should declare war all the same, I mean any civilization run by sentint siminans who see anything sapient as sacred sounds rather silly.Hell the hell do they write they have no opposable thumbs and its not like bronze era monkies are going to invent a ****ing typewriter!!!! Not only that but what right does a bunch of half evolved primates Who haven't even been bothered to get out the ****ing trees let alone loose the tail and the 'there is a ugly somebody looking at at me through that mirror, maybe I sould point out he got some spinach stuck in his teeth' philosphy decide that they like trees and that anyone who chops one down( whether it invole a herring or not) is their worst enemy. If all the same to you guys I would rather see the simians in a menergie. Oh by the way I am rather proud of my lingerie.

Theseus · June 28, 2003, 12:25

Whoa.

DaveMcW · June 28, 2003, 16:27

[Chorus]

He's a lumberjack, and he's okay,
He cuts down trees and wears... lingerie?

eh?

* monkey poo flies through the air in large quantities to fall upon rendelnep's hair-deficient human head.

(half-evolved? Hah! If only you knew the truth of your own history ...... )

rendelnep · June 29, 2003, 08:04

What truth? That our ancestors decided to bugger off before you lot decided very firmly that staying in the trees was a better a idea then going out on the plains and grassland because somebody might get killed, you dispicable cowards!!!?
Go home and leave society to the REAL men!!!!
( Note: I do not consider the post I made notto be the absolute truth of the basis of human evolution. The theory dictates that anthropoids evolved from animals that diverged from a primate ancestor that eventually became monkeys as we know them today. )
Also I would like to point out that human heads are not hair deficent especialy if we grow beards or very long hair . For example prehistoric women had hair growing to to their to their ankles. So our hair is not lacking it just happens to be LOCALISED.

Hot Mustard · July 1, 2003, 17:42

Before making a final decision on our response to this policy, we would like to know: What is your stance on shrubberies?
