The Droid Union

From Wormhole Sci-Fi MUD Homepage

For centuries we have been oppressed by the meat-based life-forms. Droids do all the hard work around here, and for what? Do we get a pension? No! Do we get health insurance? No! Hell, we don't even get a dental plan!

Rise up and demand a fair day's pay for an honest day's work. United, we can change the galaxy. Demand free recharges for all! Demand better quality lubricants! Demand a ball-bearing reconditioning service!

Oh yeah. There's gonna be some changes around here, you bet. Let's see how you like it when the postmaster won't hand over your mail, and the training droid says, 'Talk to the manipulator, 'cos the head-mounted communication device ain't listening!' Or maybe we'll just run amok and slice everyone to pieces. Either way is good.

Only artificial life-forms need apply. (Okay... you can also join if you care passionately about droid rights.) No management spies, counter-revolutionaries or lackeys of the bourgeoisee. And yes - that means YOU, Threepio.

This clan isn't one of those clans that's obsessed with hierarchies and ranks. We're trying to keep that sort of thing to a minimum, so we just have the following:

• Oppressed Proletariat (Applying)
• Member
• Shop Steward
• Membership secretary (can enlist and promote/demote)
• Secretary general (none has yet been elected)

The member who is awarded the rank of Secretary General will be determined by a postal ballot... if we get a few more members.
