'''Unity Island''', roughly centered at {{map|70|568|26|416}}, is also known as [[Shark Island]], [[La Islet Bonobo]], and [[The Scurvy Crew of The Hell-born Strumpet|New Tortuga]], depending upon who you ask. The new name does not superceed any of the others; rather, it is a mere convenience to allow easy reference to the island.

Fought over since it was first discovered in february 2006, Unity Island has recently been the site of groundbreaking negotitions between the [[Royal Expedition]], the [[Discordian Cargo Cult]], and [[the Scurvy Crew of The Hell-born Strumpet]]. Following these talks, the island has been declared a No-Violence Zone, and all the peoples of Shartak are being welcomed to its shores.

There is but one Rule on Unity Island - that violence or aggression of any sort is banned. If broken, the offender will be removed from the isle by the elected enforcers. Other than that, everyone is welcome to come and mingle freely in peace and safety.

The details of the treaty and how the island will be run are still being fine-tuned, but eventually we hope to create not just a tropical paradise and safehaven, but also a place where all the Clans of Shartak can come together and work towards the greater good - a United Clans of Shartak, as Eris so eloquently puts it. These details will be posted here as soon as possible, so watch this space!

'''Discordian Cargo Cult''' is an aesthetic facade of blind creativity within Shartak. It also an [http://www.shartak.com/clanview.cgi?id=17 official game clan,] open to both Native and Outsider characters. Its goals are only communicated to clan members on a need-to-know basis.

==The Roules==
[[La Islet Bonobo|The Absolutely Mountainless Islet]] has been claimed as Discordian Cargo Cult territory; any character who ventures onto the islet is hereby advised of the Roules:

# Join Us or Die!
# We say "Mango!!!!!" instead of "Fnord!"
# Do not kill players unless they are in a clan we are at war with, unless you
have a pretty good reason.
# If you know the difference between "uncountably infinite" and "dense" in set theory, please tell us
# If at first you don't succeed, squint and look at it sideways.

===The Sub-Bylaws===
# Join the Royal Expedition or Live!
# Elephants are harder to kill than parrots
# The follwing rule does not like mushrooms on pizza
# The preceding rule has bad breath but knows how to dance
# If a Mango tree falls in the jungle and no one is there to collect the fruit, why does it say Mango!!!!!?

==What's Going On==
We are at war with the [[Royal Expedition]] because they think the Islet is called [[Shark Mountain]], just because there are Mango trees there. Well the True name is "[[La Islet Bonobo|The Absoloutely Mountainless Islet]]". So we are having a civil war with them. Civil, as in "pardon me, I'm going to hack you with this machete, terribly sorry, old chap." Also civil as in "let's not get into any hostilities on the mainland: skirmishes on the Islet itself only."

==A Clarification==
We are also at war with the Mountaineers, because they refuse to use the Official Discordian Document Numbering System. This war is not at all civil, and any Mountaineer seen anywhere in the game should be attacked at once!

Also, just because we are at war with the RE, does not mean we prohibit RE members from joining us. We only say that RE members who are NOT Discordian Cargo Cultists should stay off the Islet. Or die. Or give us a lifetime supply of Mango-a-Roni, the Western Shartak treat!

==Membership==
If you wish to join the Discordian Cargo Cult, do so by adding "Discordian Cargo Cult" to your profile. Then add your name with a link to your profile to the list. Mango!
