We are now at 13 players, enough to have a game. With BCW coming up this weekend, the game shall officially commence Tuesday, June 8. Right now, there are 13 players, so a 14th will even things out nicely; however, if 13 is what we have, we'll just eliminate 2 the first week to get even from there.


Now, for the pre-game sequence, for those of you that enjoy a "backstory":


Times are hard for evil empires and such SPECTRE wanna-bes such as KAOS and THRUSH are all but gone. SPECTRE has announced an open spot to be the new number 2 and 13 candidates from KAOS and THRUSH have applied. Naturally, there can be only ONE; and so, Blofeld has determined that the two teams will complete against each other until only ONE is remaining, that person being worthy of joining SPECTRE (no simple resume and interview here).

So, by now you have guessed the names of the "tribes", or evil empires. In alternating you into slots in the order you signed up, here is the organizational chart:

KAOS:

JoyceCarrington
terminus
Qwerty
Johnboy007
americanbond
Baron Samedi
Tanger


THRUSH:

Xenobia
Jim
Astros
Max Zorin
SnakeEyes
Spectre Assassin
Freemo

That's all for now. Briefing concluded.

[SnakeEyes]

Damn, I wanted to be KAOS

[Jim]

Damn, I wanted to be KAOS

Yeah, well - we both got THRUSH.

That's nice.

[Joyce Carrington]

Ooh, I'm in KAOS. And the game begins on my birthday. Hey, that sounds good.

[trs007]

Ah, a fellow Gemini.

[Joyce Carrington]

Ah, a fellow Gemini.

Yup, stubborn as hell.

[Qwerty]

KAOS sounds great to me!

[Xenobia]

Just what I wanted Thrush.

-- Xenobia

[americanbond]

KAOS will DOMINATE

[Jim]

Pah!

THRUSH will be the itch no-one can scratch.

[Max Zorin]

At the risk of being eliminated immediately...what the hell is THRUSH?

Either way, I'm proud to be a member!

[Johnboy007]

I must say that:

Xenobia
Jim
Astros
Max Zorin
SnakeEyes
Spectre Assassin

Stand zero chance against KAOS.



Can't wait!

[Max Zorin]

Cocky, aren't we?

[Johnboy007]

Just a tad.

"Beware of Professor Chaos, and General Disarray."

[Qwerty]

KAOS: Let our mayhem begin.

"More! More powaahh!"

[Astros]

Trust a forum to give me thrush.

[trs007]

At the risk of being eliminated immediately...what the hell is THRUSH?

Either way, I'm proud to be a member!

Yikes! THRUSH was the evil organization that battled UNCLE in, of course, The Man From UNCLE.

Technological Hiarchy Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity;

or something like that.


BTW: Freemo has joined and will be our 14th player. At that time, sign-ups are closed and the first challenge will be posted on JUne 8th.

[Jim]

...and the Subjugation of Humanity;

My kind of people.

[SnakeEyes]

So I take it freemo has thrush too?

[trs007]

Correct; and now the teams are even.

[freemo]

Freemo - "Making up the numbers"

[Astros]

Why the hell did you call it Thrush? Are you trying to tell us something?

[Tanger]

I'd forgotten about this. Can't wait for it to start.

[trs007]

MISSION ONE will be posted Tuesday,. June 8th (tomorrow).

[SPECTRE ASSASSIN]

cAN't wait!

Wait a minute...I'm techinically a SPECTRE member you know.

[trs007]

cAN't wait!

Wait a minute...I'm techinically a SPECTRE member you know.

Then you should be fully aware of "the price of failure".

[SPECTRE ASSASSIN]

What do you mean by that?

Am I eliminated?

[trs007]

No, nothing of the kind, just a SPECTRE joke.

[SPECTRE ASSASSIN]

I see...

...I'm on to you!
