Ok, most older nations know what Acigoo is. But, we are sad to see many nations these days do not know what Acigoo is, and think it is some crazily cool WMD. Well, crazy, yes. Cool, no. WMD, yes. Or, should we say WWD (Weapon on World Destruction)

So, here's some FYI:
What is Acigoo?
Acigoo is short for acid goo. It is an a highly acidic goo that came from space. It was carried by a meteor that crazied into the nation of Kajakuju, a peaceful, and growing nation. Unfortunately, they are no more, thanks to the Acigoo.
Acigoo's only reason for being is to create creatures and plants, destroy, recreate even larger, more complex creatures and plants, destroy, and so on and so forth.
It gets deadlier and deadlier. It nearly destroyed Earth two times. The first time, when we, being of human nature, decided to experiment with it (not just ViZion... there were upwords of 50 nations at one time researching it, most using it for good, but a few using it for bad), as at the time, we did not know how deadly it was. The second time was when the nation of Kicly dumped it across the globe. He, too, is dead, due to retaliation.
After that time, we felt we got rid of most of it, but we figured there was more, as we knew nations had been selling it, we just didn't know to whom it was sold it. Now, it has resurfaced.
(When Bajon reads this, I ask him to post all the technical stuff so I can put it here, as he knows all the technical stuff...)
Where can I get it?
Well, black market, and nations who are selling it. But, we would highly suggest you do not do this. If you are caught buying it, you will swiftly be punished if it is not handed over, as well as the seller. If the seller is caught, he will be required to hand over a list of nations who he sold it to, along with his stockpile of Acigoo. He will swiftly be destroyed if he does not comply.
Oh, I can control it... right?
Don't be fooled by people who claim it can be controlled. It can not be.
What do I do if I have Acigoo in my possesion?
Report it to ViZion or Bajon, and hand it over. Also, tell us who sold it to you.
What will you do if I come forth with Acigoo to hand it over?
Simple. We will take it and have it destroyed. Do not worry, as long as you comply with this, you shall not be harmed. In fact, we look highly of nations who come clean and hand over their Acigoo on their own will, and you just may be rewarded. :-)

Acigoo Nations (That means the nations who were originally involved with the Acigoo), please share your stories with the public on this terrible stuff.

Nations who have worked with us since the original Acigoo incident, if you will, please tell us what you have seen of this.

Nations who have had Acigoo in their possession and have refused to comply, please tell what happened to you.

Nations who have come forth and handed the Acigoo over on your own will, please come forth and tell the public of your experience.

If you have any more questions, comments, or anything else, please do not hesitate to post here. We (The Acigoo Nations) will post in reply to your post ASAP.

Thank you.

P.S. This is to educate everyone on what Acigoo is, and what it can and will do if not destroyed, or what could happen if used, carelessly or carefully.

From our research of the Acigoo (headed by our own lovely Prof. Washu), we have discovered the substance to be extra-dimensional, and that anything that comes into contact with it will be flung somewhere randomly into the multiverse and replaced with their netherdimensional counterpart, which differs between dimensions. With some spieces, the counterpart race is fairly constant, I.E. cats are exchanged with catpeople most of the time, and when they aren't they're exchanged with horrible flying demons. It should also be noted that Acigoo terraforms the land around it, changing it into its extradimensional counterpart much as it does with animals and plants. This leads to strange fluctuations in reality that cause impossible colors and geological situations (like floating land masses) to appear. However, we have done what others have deemed impossible in that we have found a way to contain it. Before you write this off as nonsense, hear us out.

Using the science of Chaotics, we can successfully open a rift into a rather small vacant dimension, dubbed a "pocket dimension". Once the Acigoo is placed inside this rift, it will attempt to act on the surroundings of the pocket dimension and transform them into their netherdimensional counterparts. However, because the dimension is vacant, there will be nothing to transform, and thus the Acigoo fails at its goal. Once its taken out of this pocket dimension, however, all hell breaks loose as the substance attempts to terraform our world once again. Thus it is strongly recommended that the Acigoo remain in the pocket dimension for observation only.

While I applaud your research, I must ask if this was done controlled, or how, as we have not gotten the same results when we originally worked with it, before it was known to be dangerious.
Catpeople didn't form... MONSTER-like creatures formed. But, before that, on Earth, anyway, where it all started, it terraformed, then started off with single-celled organizems (sp?), and went from there, simular to that of the movie "Evolution", except much, much worse, and quicker... and other things formed, plus, as I said, it terraformed the landscape, what was once one of the dryest deserts in the world in Kajakuju. (I believe it was Kajakuju...)

As for containing it, how long has it "contained" it? There was a way, but it was lost over time after we thought most was gotten rid of... and, even if that does contain it, we will use it to contain it while it is transported to be destroyed. We will look into this.

Also, if it does do that, note that smaller nations, and modern and near-future tech nations will not have the ability to do that.

Yes, we know about the monsters, we had our share of them too. Catpeople were merely an example of the more benign creatures that the Acigoo creates. Demons have been created my this mess, including the famed Resian Sewer Screamer, which has claimed the lived of innocent people taking baths or sitting on the john. Also, the pocket dimension itself can't be transported, but remains in one place permanently. They can function as Acigoo dumps, where you simply place all the Acigoo you want to get rid of, and then seal the portal. The Acigoo will be inaccesable on this plane of existance from the time the portal is sealed.

Ahh, alright. Well, I do remember some of the cute, nice little creatures it created at first... when they were curious, nice little things... then the Acigoo destroyed them by creating other things... *sigh* it's a never-ending cycle...

For the latter, we will look into this, as we are still not completely sure about this.

These two threads illustrate rather nicely what happens to people who try to keep their Acigoo.

lol, yes... very nicely... Squornshelous, you were one of the Acigoo Nations, weren't ya? Mind telling us some of the horror stories?

OOC: bump

IC: Couldn't it be contained with a magnetically based antigrav field and a vacuum container?

No, unfortunately. Supposidely (though, not tested by any other nations that I know of, as of yet, except Resi Corp), it can be contained in, what Resi Corp has dubbed a "pocket dimension". There was another way (still waiting on Bajon) that it can be contained, but has been lost in the months after the original issue with Acigoo.
But, the only 100% safe way we know to keep it from running amuck is to completely destroy it.
And, no, nuclear weapons do not kill it.

Miners in the wester mountain ranges of the RDL recently found an unidentified substance. It was originally thought to be a byproduct of the mining machines, but the mine was closed untill the substence could be properly identified.

Researchers at Southwest University in the Republic of Global Peoples have not reached a definate conclusion on the substance, but now belive it to be a nutralized form of Acigoo. The theory is based purely on molecular structure, although it does not have the reactivity or interdementional properties of true Acigoo, the substance closely resembles Acigoo at the molecular level.

Even though the substance has not been completely identified, the RGP parliment is already juggling with what to do if it is, in fact, a "deactivated" sample of Acigoo. The possiblities for research if it is a nutralized source of Acigoo are many, but the ramifications of working with such a high-risk substance are also numerous.

A special comittee compiled by the Prime Minister of the RGP has already apporved sending smaller samples of the substance to foreign reserach centers, but only to contries deemed "non-militant" by the RGP parliment untill the substance's identity has been verified. If the substance is deemed Acigoo, then the RGP will forfeit all known quantities. However, if it is not true Acigoo, and deemed not a threat by scientific autorities, the RGP will request to be allowed to continue research to study the new element.

All nations will be notified when the substance is officially identified. Nations requesting a sample for independednt verification will be considered on a case-by-case basis by sending a telegram to the gov't of the RGP, but not untill the substance tests negative as Acigoo.

Please, please keep us updated. We are also willing to send in researchers to help out on this. If it is, infact, Acigoo, or related to it (god help us if it is a mutating form of it...), then we will require it be handed over for destruction, as with any Acigoo.
