PRAVDA SPECIAL EDITION #14.5 - 4 August 2003 - Hive Dipolmancy at Work
Welcome comrades to this, the glorious 14th and a half edition Special Pravda Edition. In this edition we show Hive Dipolmancy at work.
The hive knows the importance of arranging deals before in game contact.
The next step is actually going out in search of the said factions.
Of course other factions can find you first.
Once you met you must must always get on the other faction's good side by joining them in their lesuire pursuits.
Next step it writing up a pact proposal.
If you fail to close an alliance you can always hide your identity and reveal which faction you are at a later date.
Onwards Comrades - the Future of Humanity lies in Cooperation, Brotherhood and Industry - Continue to Work for the Glory of the Human Hive

The best thing is the way you've copied the peanuts font so perfectly, that at a casual glance, I didn't realise that you'd changed them, just that you found some appropirate cartoons.

Pity Schulz didn't include Comrade Claire Forlani in past comics.

One thing you can credit the Hive for is their tremendous advances and technical wizardry in document alteration... I wonder how they got so good at it.

It is a fine art, and much practised by the Hive.

Well at the hive we're using pet mice in little treadmills to supply us with energy. Since the pirates have pet parrots well I figured you must have found out a way to harnass that energy.
PS: thanks

I agree. But #1 and #5 would get a close second and third place by me, because they include hints to things having happened in the ACDG (which DarkCloud probably doesn't know about).  I don't funny #4 funny at all though.

Now I'm going to have trouble making more comics that meet up to the standards that I had before.
I think my next comic will be one on formers.

Now where did these two suddenly come from? 
Edit: And how is it possible they posted earlier than Kody but their posts appear later? 
And how come they have the same profiles as Archaic and Tassadar?? I have taken a screenie to make sure I'm not imagining things...

I have one thing to say about the above (and I can see it too, so you're not dreaming):
wtf?
Thank you.

I see I was smart in taking the screenshot. I'll just attach (part of) it (as the full one in bitmap is 2 MB big) here for everyone to see. Perhaps we should report this in the Community forum as well. I don't like the idea someone who thinks he's funny is hacking the Poly forum...

Maybe save it as jpeg or gif? That will reduce the size considerably.

Thanks. It does look suspiciously like Tass and Archaic, but I have no idea. Since you cannot delete posts without Admin status, it is a little worrying

Well, it certainly wasn't me. I've been taking the past few days off everything, including PBEM's, to work on the assignment I gave in yesterday. My profile seems to be unhacked, but I've changed the password, just in case. I'd say someone just copied the profile.

Indeed. Ming said something similar in the Poly/Community thread before he deleted his post: the profile was copied over a new user. According to Gramphos Kody did it btw. Which makes me wonder whether the ACDG is bewitched. First TKG-Method is banned, then Googlie and now probably Kody.
