REPORTED BY

Everyone loves a good conspiracy theory, and
small communities are known to thrive on local gossip when nothing else
is available. One such conspiracy theory is the Antilopine Project.
This theory speculates that in 2004 the Australian government began a
secret underground breeding experiment to create an unbeatable, Olympic
level, competitive show jumping horse through use of Kangaroo DNA.
Most people just
scoffed at the idea of such a thing. That is until
photographs of this strange striped animal showed up in the local
tabloids. A local groom for Baradora Stud happen to take a single photo
of what appeared to be a red kangaroo, but had the neck and head as
well as forelimbs of a Zebra.
When inquired, Baradora
refused to answer, and the employee was said to
never have worked there. Rather suspicious of their refusal to answer
our questions, we looked into public records to find out that a company
called ATS delivered one “Thoroughbred” mare to be live covered by
their champion stallion, a son of Hidden Dragona. Further research
showed that ATS was none other then Antilopine Stables.
The TBA had no listing
for an Antilopine Stables, and the Australian
Stud book had not received any notice about Baradora covering any mares
off season. One tabloid picture started to turn into many as people all
over Central Australia started to see this strange creature. One member
of the community, who wished to remain anonymous stated, “she's quick
and she's darn clever...I say she, because one morning I walk into the
yards to feed the beasties, and notice my stud has gone missing. Well
that's my prized stallion, and I couldn't afford to loose him. So I
grab my horse, and my partner took the ute. Long story short, that doe
had my stud in love.”
Australians began to
worry that the Brumbies were not the only thing to
threaten their bloodlines if this creature was able to crossbreed.
After many public inquiries by the media skeptics, a single member of
Orbis press was finally granted access to all that was going on behind
the scenes of “Project Antilopine.”
|
After flying out to Australia, I had a 4 hour car
ride, where I was
then handed off to two men in a black ute, and just like in the movies
I was blind folded for what was another 4 hour car ride. Needless to
say I was very glad to have used the little girls room before this 8
hour trip. The facility, resides in an undisclosed location, set back
against the Australian Outback.
The man that greeted
me, we shall call Dave. Dave is the head or
research and development for the Antilopine project. He explained to me
that through select chromosome research, they were able to develop a
viable offspring between certain sub-species of Zebra, and different
types of native marsupials. Their research showed that not only did the
pregnancy go to term, but the offspring were able to reproduce with one
another as well as horses.
When crossed with
horses they maintained their Kangaroo
characteristics, however their equine features changed slightly, and
they lost most their body bars. The Australian government had in fact
been breeding these animals since 2000, and have plans on furthering
their development to minimize the kangaroo features but maintain the
jumping ability so that they can compete in the 2012 Olympics.

Since January 8th 2009, the Orbis Games community started to see a new,
and rather organized, way of rule enforcement. This was based on a
point system broken down for Forums and Chat. All violations now have
been assigned a specific point value, and each violation gets recorded
with the users name and IP. After 12 points, a 1 day ban is given and
so forth. The great thing about this policy, is the points accumulate!
Meaning that if you come back from your 24 hour ban, you still come
back with all your points. And if you don’t behave, you find your self
facing a 3 day ban, and so forth. On the bright side however, if you go
a year without accumulating any points you can have your points reset.
Penalty Breakdown:
12 Points: 24 Hours
24 Points: 72 Hours
32 Points: 7 Days
36 Points: 1 Month
48 Points: Permanent
Each violation is given a specific number of points, and if you don’t
pay attention to the rules, you can easily accumulate them, especially
with Banner Violations. Banner violations along with provoking other
players and a few others will earn you an easy 4 points. Of the 4 point
violations, breaking the banner size limits is the most commonly done.
Remember individual banners must not exceeded 150 x 500 pixels. And
your entire signature added together (this INCLUDES your dragon eggs)
can
|
not
exceed 300 x 500.
Depending on the nature of some of your
posts, you may actually
receive a permanent ban instead of points. The Orbis Games terms of
service is written out clearly for everyone, so there is no excuse to
see adult natured references in a family game. Personal flaming, false
advertising, and theft are just some of the violations that will cause
you to receive 12 points and a 24 hour ban.
These rules are universal to chat as
well as the forums, however
there are some rules that pertain specifically to chat. Excessive nick
changes, as well as excessives in general will warrant an automatic 4
point violation. So please find a name and stick to it, and keep in
mind that anything above 3 of the same repetitive characters is
considered excessive. And as always, do not give or ask for personal
information.
Room spamming, and flooding are
automatic 24 hour bans, along
with impersonation, and provoking. Posting of anything adult natured is
an automatic perma ban, and your IP is reported to the chat host, which
will most likely result in a server ban. Keep in mind now that
violations no longer warrant warnings, and your first issuing of points
is considered your only warning.
If you are not familiar with Orbis Games
TOS, of the Chat Network
rules, please follow the provided links. And for a complete list of
Rules and Updates please check the Rules and FAQ’s sections on your
respective forums. All Ops reserve the right to adjust the penalty
given depending on the severity of the offense. |
