Ideas!:
The Nialuna UndergroundThis group, founded by certain militant members of the governing body of Yliakum, uses the most vile and brutal tactics in order to maintain the Government\'s strangle-hold on power in Yliakum. Disregarding moral standards, and unkown but to a select few higher-up officials, the group pulls funding from a variety of methods, including siphoning off tax money with the blessing of superiors and seizure of property of those believed to be enemies of the state. The group is not above intimidation by threat, destruction, or even murder. At times, the group works for the benefit of society, covertly massacreing gangs and militias endangering control and order. Other times, it enforces nasty policies upon the masses, and peers into their lives. Members may be part of other organizations, collecting valuable data and secrets for later blackmail.
Unseen operatives effect a powerful influence on the day-to-day activities of the populous. Sometimes, local officials will be \'coerced\', into radically different policy decisions, with no explanation. People disappear without a trace. Dissenters close their mouths. Militias suddenly become stronger.
It is rumored that several highly-esteemed members of Yliakum society are benefactors and agents of the group. This has not been verified.
Ranks, by priority:1.) Superior - The executive members of the group, the Superiors control any and all aspects of the guild. Word of the Superiors is law.
2.) Comittee Member - The Committee is composed of members selected by agreement of the Superiors. The Identities of Committee Members are secret.
3.) Section Controller - Section Controllers preside over daily operations of each section.
4.) Handler - Handlers are the Vice Presiders of their respective section. Handlers are responsible for the distribution of information.
5.) Senior Agent - Senior Agents are trusted and have been around longer than a three quarters majority of Agents.
6.) Agent - Agents are the bulk of the organization.
7.) Initiate - Initiates are not verified to be safe yet. All actions and information given to them take this into account.
8.) Informant - Informants periodically provide information to the group. They receive information or property in return.
~Organizational Goals~I. The Government of Yliakum must survive.
II. The Government of Yliakum must not be placed at risk by dangerous persons.
III. The Area of Yliakum must remain stable and ordered.
IV. The Nialuna Underground must survive.
Regulations-Information is to be given only on a need-to-know basis.
-Unless deemed to be necessary by one of the Comittee Members or a Superior, information from other sections is outside the jurisdiction of all below handlers.
-Members are not permitted to cause harm to other members, except when necessary to maintain cover.
AgendaThe agenda of the group, its\' \"plan\" if you will, will be updated periodically by a superior or committee member (via the committee\'s anonymous forum \'member\'), who will post in a thread dedicated to listing the objectives. Completed objectives, or objectives whose priority has changed, will have their posts edited. An example, and the first objective, follows.
Establishment
For the duration, the establishment and organizing of N.U. must take precedence over all other goals. In order to effectively carry out its\' mission statement, the N.U. must grow and become influential.
It is recommended that members solicit new sources of trustable information in other organizations. It is also recommended that members of all levels seek out new prospective members.
For the duration, members may petition to change Regulations, Priorities (Goals) and/or Guild Organizational Structure. Three of every four members must voice their support for the petition in order for it to pass.
Respectfully,
The Comittee on Guild Operations
