Were all carbon life forms. All made of the same sort of stuff. The building blocks of the universe. Now if we were to find planets that could host life. You could bet your bottom dollar that they would have simular types of vegatation. What are you expecting. Giant man eating plants or somthing. Now i think the odds of finding a living planet. Are alot worse. Than if there was as many in this game them not haveing some of the same types of plants.

There is no solid evidence of such things NOT existing. I think it is within boundary to talk about such items in RP. But that's just my opinion.

About Synth pot,I believe that,if someone dried up and smoked every single specimen of vegetation of the Sirius' populated planets,they would find at least 10 plant organisms that have the same affect as marijuana.If not more.

''Hmm,now to smoke the flesh-eating killerweed from planet Kurile,and the F-letter of the alphabet is over.''

Sucks to be a weight on the wrong side of the brilliance-insanity scale.

Indeed, look at the infocard for Planet Gaia. It was one of the few places in Sirius with native life when the colonists arrived.

It's official, I have too few ships now...

I'm actually on the verge of writing an RP dedicated to research into the survival of possible cannabis strains and from there the possible propagation of the species.

It would be fun and hillarious, and you better believe someone packed some seeds away, somewhere, one one of the ships. Really.

Am I the only one who considered a differenciation in soil quality which would no doubt harbor some unknown element which would prevent Earth crops from growing?

You see an F'd up look pine tree like thing, you decide to grow corn, then you realise that the soil contains molydiquetziguonicol... Phosphate. The corn dies.

Incidentally all habitable planets wont be kind to alien vegetation.

So everybody's argument that crops and seeds brought from Earth would survive and flourish in this fantastical world of ponies, rainbows, and elegant brown truffles of the Elfwood Forests is entirely shot down. Wanna terraform Mars and see if the soil is nice? Have fun. We might be able to breathe but our crops wont like it.

That is not to say, however, that soil samples didn't come along as well and we weren't able to duplicate that to some degree and placed within green-house like places. But the idea that they came down and saw giant mushroom trees growing and decided to cultivate tobacco or sugar cane is completely ludicrous.

Adieu.

Did you consider that at this point in our technological evolution we would be able to alter our crops and livestock on a genetic level, to account for such changes?

Or the ability to affect planet wide changes in the local eco-systems?

Oh yes. From a single sleeper ship before everybody starves to death?

Or perhaps the sexy female voice took care of all that during the trip to Sirius?

[Hawk]

You can't assume that because no marijuana seeds were brought that no other seeds were brought as well. This would have been a failed project from the start if they did not plan to export some agriculture from Earth. I'm sure many Earth plants and even wine grapes were brought along.

Allow me to go over my reasoning Magoo! I always feel a well balanced and rational conversation is better than snide remarks and disrespect for others in the community:)

Preserved stores. They likely didn't just pitch a tent and call it home as soon as they landed. The sleeper ships are large, so large infact that over the course of the construction of the first colonies they were confirmed to have been disassembled and used in the construction of the infrastructure on atleast one occasion.

Secondly. First priority on settling a world is to pick a nice pretty one that you can work with, and that means soil samples, environmental scans and analyses and so forth.

Thirdly, by the time that the colony ships were launched humanity had already surpassed our technological state, and then some. They would have known how to manipulate the genetic structure of a plant based organism with relative ease at that point; conservation and preservation of food supplies is a crucial factor when waging a war.

So could please explain to me why my suggestion was so preposterous?
