Welcome to Gaia! ::

As you probably know, we had a GIB meeting in Towns on Saturday. Sorry to all those who could not attend.

Anyway, we made a few key decisions at the meeting that I will now share with you.

Most decisions had to do with our visibility or our level of plot involvement, which are strongly interconnected.


Ever since we "went underground" and became LAWLS Inc., we've dropped further and further from the public eye. While this made certain things easier, it was voted in the meeting that we should increase our visibility and let people know that the GIB is still around.

So, in order to do that, a few policy changes are in order.

1. Uniform
The uniform is one of the most distinctive things about our organization. You can tell right off: If you see someone in towns wearing a suit and sunglasses, they are either a GIB agent or pretending to be one.
Therefore, it is now mandatory that you wear the uniform, or some variant of it.
Let dark suits and sunglasses fill the forums and towns once more.

2. Badges/ID cards
Please resume using your ID card in your signature. Please also rig it up so that when clicked, it will show a list of what guilds you are in, so that your membership in the GIB cannot be questioned.

Those who wish to still use LAWLS ads may still do so, but please include your ID card also.

3. Introduce yourself properly
When conducting investigations in Towns or in the forums, please introduce yourself in a way that makes it clear you are from the GIB. For instance, if I were to run into a UFO in towns, I would say something like:
"Greetings. I am Agent TIM of the GIB. Would you mind if I asked you a few questions?"
Etc.

4. Be active
We need a strong GIB presence in places other than our GIB guild and threads. So I strongly encourage you to participate in and create discussions in the GCD, the UFO forums, the resistance forums, Towns, etc., all while having your uniform and ID card on full display.

5. Interact with NPCs.
Do your best to get to know the NPCs. Those that are in close with them are there because they were persistent.


That is all for now. I will make more annoucnements concerning the meeting soon.

Wonderful, Leader! As soon as the Festival is complete, I shall resume wearing my uniform heart

(I've done most of that stuff sdince joining... except announcing I was from teh GiB in Towns)

...








Alrighty then. *straightens tie*

I'll get right on it, Tim!

EDIT: Is it 100% neccisary to have the link on your id? Mine refuses to work correctly, as you might be able to see sweatdrop

EDIT x2: Nevermind...

I don't think they know more than us - at this point, all available information is being post somehow.

It did bother me, though, that no one directly told us about the plan of bringing Flarn to GU neutral If some agents hadn't been in Towns, we wouldn't have known - As TIM said in his post at the GCD, their only fault is "thinking they know best".

Geez, what do they think we'd have done? Run and scream around "Flarn is coming, Flarn is coming! WHA! Shoot him!"?

Besides, spying on them would break our Peace teatry.

I was upset over that too.
