Simple, Jimbo2. All you do to join us is write an initiation story which would describe your character and explain how you come into contact with us. While it would be beter if it was of medium length, a short one is also applicable.Fjorxc the Maniac(CWAL Hunt Valley) "I'm typing this fast cuz I'm afraid a BoSer will reply before I do." |

Fjorxy calm down! His membership isn't decided by the speed of posting.Anyhow, joining the BoS is extremely easy. You just post into the current BoS thread ( now it is #4) and ask can you join in. No-one has been turned down yet. Not even TAWDAL. |

I'll have to read some stories before my decision is final.(That doesn't mean bribery and butt kissing are futile.) |

If I remember correctly Mortis was asked to explain his past heretic actions before the permission was given.And about CTP we have been mocking its stupid units. We also started a recruitment thread in the CTP forums but MarkG ( the webmaster) deleted it. And I don't have an ICQ. Yet. I will let you know when I will get one. |

Jay, how do you get into the CTP forum, the option wasn't given to me when I visited their website. |

Jimbo I think it was this simple. First, go to civilization.gamestats.com Then click on the Call to Power text in the right side. Then click on Forums on the left side. Then just find the register button and fill the registration form |

What? I can't believe it. It works fine on my computer. Oh well that site ain't worth visiting  And before Forxy shoots down my JSF fighter plane I would like to say that I don't have anything against CWAL but _why_ are you trying to liberate a clearly unfinished game? Go hunt Interplay and Black Isle for holding back Baldur's gate. |

Jimbo, join BoS. We fight against those who defile Sid's leagacy (even though some of us might yet get it). I have made many enemies on the CTP forums, talking about stupid units and the such. Don't you want to be a part of aclub that makes enemies of CTPers?Imran Siddiqui President of the Brotherhood of Sid |

Heh... who does Activision think they are. Bureaucras have no place in a Civ game. Nore do the park rangers. Beware the park rangers! And the corporate raider and lawyers what were they high on when they came up with those, ok I'm done ranting. Join CWAL! |

What could be better than the BoS?? We fight to stop heathens from releasing unfinished games. We fight for the democracy you cherish. We have a hell-bent NIMadier general commanding its armies. We have a manipulative leader. We have a weird air force head, who we make fun of(even though we don't mean it). Lik,e I said before, what could be better??We also have our numerous armies to forcibly convert you. Oh yeah, CWAL ties Boy Scouts to trees & shoots them. Why would you want to join the to do that. Don't believe me? I have the pictures! Your faithful & hell-bent NIMadier general, YYYH |

Victor: That's a lie! (YYYH shows Victor some dead boy scouts.) Victor: As I said we don't shoot boy scouts; well maybe Exile cut a few open, but we never shot any. The BoS has been known to slaughter Hunt Valley residents, and brainwash the survivors. Brainwashed Redneck: I'm gonna shoot y'all Red Commie Bastards! Victor: Uh-oh! (Redneck pulls out a shotgun. Victor rapidly punches some buttons on his watch and the redneck explodes.)

I need more time, perhaps my greatest concern is who on these forums is with BoS and who is with CWAL. A complete list would ease the decision. |

(Victor is hiding in the sewers beneath HV) Victor: Ahhh, safe at last. (Starts walking, a sees two shadows in the distance.) Shadow 1: Are you sure this will work? Shadow 2: Of course, sir. Otherwise you wouldn't have paid us so much. These fake pictures will discredit CWAL for good. (Walks closer concealed in the shadows. Sees that Shadow 1 is really YYYH.) YYYH: What is on the videotape? Shadow 2: A little something we fixed up. It shows Victor Galis singing the Hymn of the Soviet Union. It is a fake recruitment video for the CCCP. YYYH: CCCP? Shadow 2: It's what the Russian letters for USSR used to look like. But now its this secret organization we made up. The Chamblee Corrupt Communist Party. YYYH: Excellent. Victor: Not so fast!

Err. I shoulda notd that the dialogue in that story was via radio. It doesn't make sense if I'm driving in a tank & talking to a mysterious shadow figure.BTW, I know what CCCP is.....was. I'm smarter than I act... Your faithful & hell-bent NIMadier general, YYYH |

(Story continued) Victor: Drop it! YYYH: Why? You don't have a gun! (Aims watch at YYYH) Victor: Yes, but my watch can tell if I die. If I do, it will launch a guided missle at you. That is of course if you shoot me now. (Glances at watch to see if it has locked on) Victor: You can't win. I die you die, but if I shoot you now I live you die. Victor Clone: Yes, you're outnumbered. (Shadow 2 tries to flee. Victor Clone mutters something under his breath. A ball of flame cuts down Shadow 2 incinerating him. YYYH flees. Victor Clone mutters something.) YYYH: Aaaah! (YYYH falls over and is knocked out. Victor walks over takes the pictures and the tape and destroys them. He throws YYYH's handgun into a deeper part of the sewer. YYYH wakes up, and pulls out a BAR. Victor disappears into the shadows.) |

Yes except Shadow 2 is dead. If we replace Shadow 2 in your post with BoS soldier then it works. Shadow 2 was supposed to be a non-BoS entity. Looks like you get your pictures for free now though. |

CWAL HV Temporary HQ (Later that night) Victor(to no one in particular): He grazed me, but I will be ok. Luckily, Jolt followed YYYH to the secret BoS HQ. (Jolt rematerializes in front of Victor) Jolt: The rednecks with shotguns... Victor(still to no one in particular): Ok, so we don't know where their secret headquarters is, but they don't know where we are either. Actually most of us are on Chiron after a little time travelling. (Rest of CWALers walk in) Victor: How did the assault go? Anonymous CWALer: You'll have to wait for Fjorxc to finish Phoenix Rising. |

Jolt is wandering around trying to find the BoS HQ.Soldier 1: Is Operation Spice Girl in effect, sir? HQ: Yes, put on the earmuffs, now! Then activate! Soldier 1: Yes, sir! Soldier 1 gives an arm motion to Soldier 2 sitting on the abandoned cave where a brave spider once lived. The fact he was sitting there gave him strength. He judged when the optimal time would be to strike. Then Jolt came into scanner view. Soldier 2 hit the button: "I you wannabe me lover....." Jolt stopped in his tracks to hear the foul music. He puts his hands to his ears, but it is no use. In thirty seconds, Jolt's head is blown off, and the mission is done. Soldier 1: Ok, turn it off! Soldier 2: I ca-can't. Soldier 1: Oh damn. Ok, one sec. One sec later Soldier 1: Clear out!!! Moments later a hydrogen bomb drops upon the site where the horid music originated from. The site was safe, radioactive, but safe.

MikeH slips out of the sewer system, strips off his drysuit and reveals a pristene dinner jacket. He gets into his waiting Aston Martin DB7 and roars off. The BoS and CWAL bases were both easy to penetrate and to be honest not much useful was going on in either place. The extensive bugging of the CWAL HQ had only one difficulty, getting past all the bugs which were already there. As long as there was no more dangerous actvity Mike and his underground NetRegulators would leave these harmless factions alone and concentrate on bigger prey. Mike smiled and stamped on the accelerator. Might as well enjoy the drive to the embassy, he'd have to leave underwater down the Thames. |
