United Tribal Council Meeting

UTC

7A called a UTC meeting to make a decision about the use of air space above tribal lands.

There was a suggestion that tribes not build over farm space as blocking the sun would impact their food plant growth. Also that building over the lands of another tribe is not allowed.

 The UTC decided in a vote 4-1 to

First step when building is to seek out vacant land on mars and build it there.

Nominate their own and donate their own lands as an international space. One tribe is doing this so their tribe can access this space easily.

 Each UTC delegate returned to their tribe and informed them of the council’s decision.

Reflection Session 17


Reflection

Seems natural to show Philanthropy

Noka tribe showed philanthropy today. They donated part of their tribal lands as a National Park. They removed their tribal boarder on this areas and replaced them with the international land markers. They did it without a second thought. They did not look at it as a loss, they simply viewed this landscape as an area they can still use and enjoy but that they would be able to share it with the greater community, this would make it more enjoyable. They still have the role of maintaining it and keeping it safe, clean and in good order. Their friends from other tribes can enjoy it too as it is now an international space as designated by the United Tribal Council.

Team work is working!

Over all the tribes are working in a more cohesive and cooperative manner. As they work through the planning designing and process the importance of the delegation of tasks amongst the tribe to achieve the team goal becomes a more important. They know that their team will be most successful if they all work in a focused and supportive way. They are only as good as their weakest link! They are holding their tribe mates accountable and using checks, measure and encouragement to keep their tribe on task.

We are hearing more of the language of teams:

How are you going with the zone you are working on?

Do you need help with the placement of the markers?

Hey you are doing a really good job, I like the zone you are working on.

I have an idea, (idea outlined)

Do you agree should we do this?

Let’s ask the other tribes to see if they like it before we start. (They then sent a delegate to each tribe to ask them a question. He returned from is survey with we have 5 yes and three no, so they went ahead with the idea.)

We are seeing greater evidence of values of the tribes working together respect and belonging to not only their tribe but the wider first Martian settlers.

Building a brave new world

Chevvy loves the creation of his tribes new world on Mars.  He takes pride in everything that is to be created to make a sustainable world.

Here are some photos from his tribes land.

Creating a New World

 
The students in this tribe have decided to connect all their buildings together. They hope to move from one place to another in their village without wearing helmets in a biosphere type structure connected by walk ways. They used markers to draw, discuss and label the design ideas before they began their in world build.

This same tribe have also pondered the possibility of taking over all the Martian lands, as in their words
"There are no laws that say we can't!"

In another class group 2 tribes have merged. both out of necessity and generosity. The discussion in this group moved quickly to power in numbers.
We'll keep you posted on the power struggles and community developments.
Looking forward to more rigorous discussions between the new settlers!!



We landed on Mars with nothing but our Pod

Scientifico tribe arrived on mars with nothing through lack of organization.  Now they are trying to negotiate with Sanso to get some plants.

Initially Sanso were happy to freely support and help the other tribe.

It was questioned whether this is sustainable.

The two tribes are now negotiating a deal which may see some repayment in the future.

The options could be combining, sharing of power, domination, land sale or as suggested by a staff member, breed them out, they are weak and they may bring both tribes down.

The up shot of the negations was about skills and the equal power sharing. But in the end it was truly out of generosity.

The two tribes combined and decided rename to Sancien.

All the other tribes applauded.

They have yet to realize that the new Sancien is an enormous voting block.

More Threats Of War

Another tribe announced today that they may need to go to war to get more land.

The need for defense

I haven't had a chance to think about this but already one tribe built a tank to defend itself.

Also heard was this comment from the same tribe.

"Why can't we just take over the whole world there are no rules to stop us."


Borders and the fight for land

Now we have fences and borders and arguments. We have power, control and the underclass who missed out.  We have the land Barons and squatters and noise about rights.  We have calls for a global take over and a call for rules of some sort and a thingy like we have in Canberra.
