'''Discordian Cargo Cult''' is an aesthetic facade of blind creativity within Shartak. It is open to Native and Outsider characters. Its goals are only communicated to clan officers on a need-to-know basis.

==The Roules==
[[La Islet Bonobo]] (also called [[Shark Island]]) has been claimed as Discordian Cargo Cult territory; any character who ventures onto the islet is hereby advised of the Roules:

# Join Us or Get Off La Islet Bonobo!
# We say "Mango!" instead of "Fnord!"
# Eris does not know about the law of fives.
# Eris is a character, and she is a member of the Discordian Cult
# If at first you don't succeed, squint and look at it sideways.

===The Sub-Bylaws===
# Join the Royal Expedition because some of them are cool
# Brush your teeth after each meal
# The follwing rule is true
# The preceding rule is false
# There has never been a Discordian Cargo Cult, and there never will be
# Mango!!!!!
# Morgan Freelance is cool, and is no longer our enemy.
# Ghandi is older than twelve

==What's Going On==
Apparantly, the [[Royal Expedition]] thinks the islet is theirs, just because they were there first. Well we gave it its name ("La Islet Bonobo"). So we decided to kill them. But then we found out
that some of them are highly respectable. So now we are conflicted.

==A Clarification==
These roules only apply on the island. Discordian Cargo Cultists are not waging war against the general population of infidels. Only those who venture onto the island without joining us.

==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!

=== Message to the savages ===
You folks are simply amusing! Threatening us with two members? I think it's more like YOU stay off of Shartak entirely! We came in peace but we'll defend ourselves with force if need be! I repeat, leave us alone or be hunted. These are our terms! --[[User:One of many doctors|One of many doctors]] 00:17, 7 April 2006 (BST)

Three members now! Although Eris appears to be fairly incapacitated. Keep invading our island and we'll keep sending you packing, my friends! --Less Than Lethal 20:24, 25 April 2006

We're usually too busy getting bitten by sharks to prosecute our war against you. "Join us or die" is words. Morgan Freelance killing Oulatek is action. He started the war. Take it up with him. Oh, and get it straight. We're not savages. We're barbarians. -[[User:Oulatek|Oulatek]] 04:57, 2 May 2006 (BST)
:"False words are not only evil in themselves, but they infect the soul with evil." - Plato. I must respectfully submit that death threats lie outside the scope of the schoolyard defence of 'only kidding'. You spoke, I acted. [[User:Anothertwilight|Anothertwilight]] 05:50, 2 May 2006 (BST) aka Morgan Freelance
::"Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight which enhances every object." -Camus. I must respectfully submit that you have joined us or died, and therefore at this point have not broken our Roules. -[[User:Oulatek|Oulatek]] 22:30, 2 May 2006 (BST)
:::'''applauds''' both for the quote and the demonstration of your 'Roules' ... applicability [[User:Anothertwilight|Anothertwilight]] 00:14, 3 May 2006 (BST) aka Morgan Freelance

=== To Outlatek ===
Joined us have you? --[[User:One of many doctors|One of many doctors]] 22:50, 2 May 2006 (BST)
:I don't see anything in the RE bylaws prohibiting membership in more than one group; nor do I see any such provision in the Discordian Cargo Cult's Roules. -[[User:Oulatek|Oulatek]] 03:41, 4 May 2006 (BST)
 
You call me a 12 year old fool?! If this is in response to the comment I made on Shark Island, then clearly you would have recognized that your honorary DCC member Morgan Freelance indeed created that page (note - I am NOT bashing Morgan Freelance); 
Secondly, that name was proposed not as an actual name, but as an idea to exhibit the fact that a name should have some meaning, not just an aesthetic facade of blind creativity. 
Unlike you fine sir, I have honor and dignity: '''Oulatek, I challenge you to a Duel! Pistols or Swords?!''' --[[User:Gandhi|Gandhi]] 22:18, 4 May 2006 (BST)

:"an aesthetic facade of blind creativity" is such a good phrase that I'm going to steal it. I recant on my accusation of twelve-year-oldness, and I accept your dual. If you're giving me choice of weapon, I pick machete.

=== draft of an NPOV entry for the islet/island ===
I have attempted to draft what I hope is a relatively neutral-point-of-view entry for the wiki that links to both your La Islet Bonobo and our Shark Island pages. I have tried to keep it relatively sparse and to link to the more detailled pages, rather than trying to encompass everything on one page (and inevitably leading to both groups feeling disatisfied that their position has been unfairly represented). I would appreciate your criticism and/or editiorial modifications - especially regarding the dates when you first claimed the islet and first named it.[[User:Anothertwilight|Anothertwilight]] 02:39, 5 May 2006 (BST)

You scientists are pretty hip with the facts and documentation. We think that's pretty darn Mango! -[[User:Oulatek|Oulatek]] 03:38, 4 May 2006 (BST)
