I'll restate my proposals, & make a new one here.
1.) Establish the Mustang as our animal, bold, strong, & independant. It just fits us.
2.) Establish ''Oh BoS" as our national anthem.
3.) (The new one!) Ignore all threats made by Tawdal. We destroyed his armies long ago, & he no longer has the backings to his mindless, childish threats. He can never take us or the world over.
3I.) We admit Tawdal into a 'funny farm', he seems to be very delusional after losing that war to us.

That is all.

Oh, all right, I admit my schemes for glory were completely false. My battleships were made from K-Nex sets and my minions (which you mercilessly slayed) were a band of drunks I picked up from the Hunt Valley bar and gave AK-47s. You've ended my plans for world conquest and as a result I suppose I'll hole up in a movie theater with an Uzi and gather hordes of moviegoers to be my servants of domination.

(Tawdal sneaks into the theater and hides behind the screen at 'Antz' and writes hypnotic messages in magic marker all over the screen.)

SOON THE WORLD WILL BE MY OYSTER OR REASONABLY FACSIMILE THEREOF!!

If you want to see the original purpose of this group, look at the first post of the Brotherhood of Sid.

On a personal note, I am very pleased with this. In the first forums I, who was a part of the first veterens, was not a major player on the forums. At the end, I had 300 or so posts, and didn't initiate any new threads. My claim to fame was my opposition to Thomas Stobie's mass posting techniques and destruction of the CoFH. Now between the BoS and the Imran group, my groups are resposible for about 160 posts, and I alone have over 100 on the forum. The BoS has become the biggest thread on these forums. For this I thnak you. I'm finally a major player on the forums, when before I wasn't as important. I give all of you a salute.

Larry Boy, outlyr242 the rebirth is our janitor, but if you wanna assist him I guess that's ok.

As for the flags colors, a black mustang, on a white background. Ok, that sux, you decide!

I still remember that time Imran blew up the Club of the future(one of TAS's futile attempts to start an "on-topic club the AC club was another, but I foiled those attempts, mostly 'cause I killed Santiago, takin over the Spartans, etc.) & hung TAS from a meathook. Oh yeah, remember how I was helping you in Diablo. The Japanese school bus, the Japanese ambassadors!

But when needed we can be called upon to support our troops in times of distress and need. For instance, watch this.

The Janitor Divine walks up to the launch pad in the BoS fortress. A soft beam of sunlight warms the soil beneath our feet then the landscape falls silent. A breeze blows through that we cannot hear a breeze we can only feel. The encamped troops look up from their card games and camp stoves. NIMander General YYYH even stops cleaning his BAR to sense the moment. Then growing from a soft whisper a sound is heard. It plays in soft musical anticipation. Growing louder and louder. The sounds of a complete orchestra surround our experience. Triumphantly the chorus to Carl Orff's Carmina Burana rockets through the air. Talon's finest squadron speeds by and a Galleon Tank rumbles across the hills. The troops cheer a boisterous triple Hooray and thrust their weapons in the air!

But now that I look at Congress, we should only allow one party in the council.

OEEP will be destroyed, but they haven't made too much of an impact on the forum yet, let's wait until the leader posts more. It wouldn't be honorable to attack someone who cannot defend, well this is the 90's, I'm thinking 1890's here. Oh well, call me old-fashioned.

5 members:
Civilian Military
(Imran,Jazzman,Snowfire) (YYYH,Talon)

I think this would be pretty even. The military doesn't have the majority so the BoS wouldn't be run by the Armed Forces.

Section1: There shall be a council consisting of the top three civilian and top two military officials.

SubSecrtion1: The civilian council members shall be the Supreme Commander of BoS (or Chairman), the Chief of Staff of Technological Development, and the Head of the Spy Network.

SubSection2: The military council members will consist of the top two military officials in the armed forces of the BoS.

Section2: Any decision that requires the full BoS to accept will be debated and voted on in the council. To pass a piece of legislation, a majority of the council that are present must vote yes.

SubSection1: On accounts of War Declaration, the council who are present must unanimously vote yes.

I propose that not only council members can bring up possible acts. Civilians should be able to take part in their government since we are so small. They propose, we review it, & decide if it should officially be brought before the council. Then we vote on it in the customary matter.

Now for the pledge.

I do solemnly pledge to uphold the rights of the Brotherhood of Sid, to vanquish the enemies of the Brotherhood, and to get any and all necessary snack cakes and potato chips as requested at my own expense. I will never harm any other brother, I will never release the secrets of the Brotherhood if we ever come up with any, and I will not kick Imran in the butt if he bends over to pick something up.

Thank you for your niceness.

Now, what rank am I? Am I head of any department? Is the department relevant to anything? Does it matter?

I propose a new rule for the council. Since Imran in the CEO or whatever he wants to be called, he should only vote as a tie breaker. For example, 2 council members vote for one thing, & 2 others vote for a different thing, that's the only time when Imran can jump in & vote for the act being brought before us. If 3 members vote for one thing, & 1 votes for another, Imran can't vote, & what the 3 members voted for becomes law.

We need to set up a Supreme Court, but I doubt that'll be needed.

Amendment: To Section1, Subsection1, the Supreme Commander is not in the council, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is.

Section2: The Supreme Commander is responsible for powers beyond the scope of the council

Subsection1: These powers include the power to make treaties, the power to veto acts of the council, the power to make appointments.

Subsection2: The veto can only be overriden by a unanimous vote of ALL council members, not just those present.

Subsection3: The treaties, as well as the appointments made must be approved by the majority of the Council

Section3: A Supreme Court shall be made up, consisting of up to 3 judges.

Subsection1: The Supreme Court has the ability to declare acts of law, uncontitutional, and has to give a reason why.

Subsection2: The Supreme Court only has the right to recommend change, it cannot enforce it. Only the Supreme Commander can enforse Supreme Court decisions.

Roland, you are the new Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Serve the post well. Btw, this BoS is poised to overtake the other one. Lets go to 120 in this one, unless someone takes our #1 spot

Well, since he's in the council now, forget what I just said.

That part of the Constitution is acceptable by me. However, you made no notations to the Supreme Commanders term limits, & how many years( well months I guess) he can stay as Supreme Commander.

CASE 1: Mrs. Bixby vs. The Brotherhood of Sid
Plaintiff: Claims that the Brotherhood of Sid has been egging her house
Defendant: Says that no such thing has occured
Evidence: Eggs on the side of her house spelling "BoS ROX" in yolk juice
Result: TAWDAL, through constant screaming at Mrs. Bixby, caused a heart attack and the plaintiff could not continue the trial (for reasons of being deceased and buried.)

CASE 2: The Bixby Family vs. The Brotherhood of Sid
Plaintiff: Claims the death of Mrs. Bixby was caused by the Brotherhood of Sid
Defendant: Says the death of Mrs. Bixby was caused by a runaway truck
Evidence: No truck was present during the proceedings or the previous trial
Result: TAWDAL, through 48 hours of rambling what appeared to be evidence, finally made the Bixbys give in due to lack of sleep and overpowering hunger.

CASE 3: The City of Hunt Valley vs. The Brotherhood of Sid
Plaintiff: Claims the Brotherhood is harboring violence inside of the city
Defendant: Says that the Brotherhood is attempting to end violence within the city limits as well as uphold the local hero, Sid Meier
Evidence: The Hunt Valley government had very little evidence and a sub-par lawyer; the more they argued, the less sense they were making. TAWDAL, on the other hand, had many reasons for the Hunt Valley case to be incorrect.
Result: The Brotherhood of Sid wins this case and gets a $100,000 cash settlement

As you can see, I am the best possible choice for the Brotherhood of Sid lawyer. Thank you for your consideration, Imran.

My own delusional rantings of power-mad armies roaming the Earth was uncalled for and the bomb I placed under your bed a few weeks ago, which is set to explode in approximately 27 hours, should probably be removed very soon, but the fact that you locked your door and put chaingun turrets outside of it makes this prospect rather impossible and quite deadly.
