Influence Peddlers Pretty much exactly what it sounds like. This group started small like any other company, slowly if not very underhandedly, and progressed to a position of high importance. Need answers to the SAT? Got 'em. You want the head of the local Home Owners Association to give it a rest? Just pick out the flowers. Trying to get that prestigious Governor position? We have just the vixen for your foe. Secret Influence Peddlers are not above doing ANYTHING to achieve the goals of the customer and have listings for support structures for nearly everything to do it with. I mean that. Dark Secret During one of the dealings to satisfy a contract, the management of Influence Peddlers came into contact with a being (Space Alien, Demon, Applicable SUPER BAD GUY) that happened to humor a conversation with the management. "Kill who, where?" was the short of the conversation that lauded many other exchangeable resources. "TASTY." *BUURRRPPP* I've been hearing messages about a few groups. Their names are: Right Click Junkies, Stuck Monkeys, and Death Sled Rejects.
#2 layla_minogue Mar 25, 2008 17:59:09	Sweet! I'm so on this. Stuck Monkeys The Stuck Monkeys are a university writers' club, wih chapters all over the country. The club represents a collaborative effort between student writers to help them perfect their craft. The club hosts online and offline meetings where students come to seek advice for their current work. Many alumni also frequent the message boards. The Stuck Monkeys' name refers to the proverb of 1000 monkeys on 1000 typewriters, attempting to recreate the works of Shakepeare. Secret: There are some disgruntled members of the Stuck Monkeys, who believe that the organization represents the homogenization of literature, and panders to the lowest common denominator. They have actively attempted to sabotage others' work by seeding it with already-published material. Though advice is appreciated, the Monkeys frown on plagiarism. Super Secret: While anyone is free to join, only a select few are permitted into the highest ranks in the club. These individuals are permitted to judge other Monkeys' works for publishing in the club's monthly e-zine. Part of the initiation involves the Ritual of the Monkey, where a pledge is blindfolded behind a mechanical typewriter, and then has 1000 minutes to produce a written work that the current judges deem worthy of their acceptance. Some of the Stuck Monkeys like to hang out with the Right-Click Junkies (sorry, I couldn't let that one pass), and they all are interested in what's going on with Yellow Dog Publishing
#3 hinthas Mar 26, 2008 11:21:29	RIGHT CLICK JUNKIES Everyone wants to be the next Vince Flynn, Tom Clancy or WEB Griffen. Even the fellas over at Stuck Monkeys. While originally RCJ started as a Technical Writing and Underwriter firm called RCJ Unlimited, they progressively ventured into more and more Defense and R&D contracts. Its said the staffers are issued a laptop and body armor in the same minute when they're hired and are expected to do LOTS of field work. SECRET RCJ staffers have been invited to every International Arms Expo, Super Science Fair, and Concept Car Show since the mid '90's. They have one of the most complete databases of vehicular, technical, and machinery items known. Tech writers sometimes get bored and thats where the accidental marketing (borrowing copy/paste) of said items come into play. Books are wrote (with some omissions) and money flows with revenue agreements for the involved parties. SUPER SECRET The leadership of RCJ is constantly changing every five or so years because the various innovations that have been made in the interested fields. One constants RCJ has fixed is the historical appreciation and application of developments in the said fields. Currently the position is held by a Texas fellow with a strange fixation of .45's Pistols, IOWA Battleship, and anything that goes BOOM. Even a Texas sized appetite can want for more of anything.That's where the groups of Phalanx Unlimited, Chain Brothers, and Ziggy's Last come in. I wonder why?

Writing books that change a country's National Policy is a different creature altogether. Yellow Dog is a company that has a group of "consultants" that analyzes, among other things, National Defence Policy of various countries. Solicited or not. Disturbingly enough the info provided is, more often times than not, very accurate to embarrassingly glaring details. Its the disgruntled Stuck Monkey members that usually "find" themselves here. SECRET To say that Yellow Dog has their fingers in many pies would be an extreme understatement. It seems a fanatical interest in governmental logistics and application thereof is a prerequisite to be a employee. Big Deal? It is when these guys appear to be orchestrating a world domination scheme that makes Neo-Cons look like one legged last place finishers in a Iron Man contest. SUPER SECRET You could guess it might be "Toy Envy" of the RCJ contacts or the thrill of working alongside of Influence Peddler agents, but the "consultants" at Yellow Dog REALLY LOVE their job. Yellow Dog members go all over the world, have linguists that speak every dialect of the modern world, have maps that are equal to/better than the best stuff of American alphabet organizations, and have an awesome retirement program. They are not accountable to anyone outside their organizations and often times negotiate settlements of small "kingdoms" inside client nations for elder members. Complete with airstrips on every one of them. Lately Yellow Dog has been taking an interest in:the Ice Lords, Red Arrow Front, and Halek Corp. Curious....
#5 layla_minogue Apr 22, 2008 18:10:57	Red Arrow Front Top Secret: The Red Arrow Front is the highly secretive paramilitary wing of the Red Cross. These elite commando medics are on call to deploy in areas of the world deemed too politically unstable for normal responders. Their "red-bag" operations include distributing medical supplies to civilians trapped in warzones, and counter-bioterrorism. Super Secret: Some members of the Red Arrow Front view warlords and terrorists as a plague upon society that must be cured. While never officially sanctioned, they have carried out assassinations and used "enhanced interrogation techniques" such as "infectious exposure" and "unelective surgery." Exclusive Secret: The Red Arrow Front confiscates all bioweapons and bioweapon materials that they find. Some are destroyed, and some are stored in a top-secret warehouse. While it's never been done, some people have discussed the possibility of using these weapons against the world's enemies. If they did, it could be a global health disaster... What would the Armadillo Coalition or Raspberry Systems do if they knew more?...
#6 zombiegleemax Apr 22, 2008 18:47:19	Armadillo Coalition Armadillo Coalition is a group of programmers devoted to writing information protection programs of the highest quality, usually under contract of other organizations such as Right Click Junkies. They have a sub-corps assigned to more wide-spread programs such as firewalls and antivirus programs. Secret: The Armadillo Coalition has been commissioned several times to write and distribute faulty security programs for the purpose of gathering information on suspected internet criminals. The Armadillo Coalition consists primarily of former hackers, so getting the aforementioned program onto a criminal's computer without him noticing is an easy task... especially when they only need to "upgrade" one of their own programs. Super-Secret: The Armadillo Coalition has the keys to every single edition of every single one of their own programs stored away in an undisclosed location. It is often the case that they use these keys to learn more about their customers, and use any critical information they obtain as potential blackmailing material. I've heard they've hired the U.S. Polo Assassins and Raspberry Systems several times before.
#7 hinthas Apr 22, 2008 21:10:43	That would probably explain why the RCJ Tech Dept has had the SAME budget since '85. Check that one off the list... RASPBERRY SYSTEMS Even with all the nation's problems with water shortages, the Upscale, Insured, and Licensed landscaping firm of RASPBERRY SYSTEMS continues to dominate the industry through results. There's not a single home that isn't entitled to the progressive gardening techniques that RASPBERRY SYSTEMS can achieve but usually its the celebrities, statesmen, government offices, and oddball organizations that can afford these services. SECRET RASPBERRY SYSTEMS is what happens to the Environmental Sciences geeks that also have a strong bent for technical equipment and formulating "super soils" that will grow anything. With a strange fertilizer composition and the right water and soil mixture, they are able to grow fantastic flora arrangements and have a technical application. Using the "potato theory", they were able to manufacture automated sensors that "read" the chemical composition of the soil and react accordingly. These sensors paved the way for billable "check ups" and even the timely opportunity for increased services. SUPER SECRET Who's Where doing What? That's the $64,000 question. Everyone pays for information and not everyone wants to be involved. Those sensors also gave way to Electronic Scramblers, Trim and Pane Micro-Vibration Emitters, and Fiber Optic Visual/Audio Sensors. Not all the time do those "check ups" serve the customer. The Scramblers and Vibration Emitters can be turned off at a moments notice and thats when the Vis/Aud sensors kick in. You can imagine the things that notorious (and other types) people do and what they'll pay to make things "go away". Thank the DIRT for Off Shore accounts. RASPBERRY SYSTEMS is used to being ground pounders and when some tech firm throws a contract at 'em, "Three bags full, sir". Did that blade of grass just look at me? Too much time in the sun. I wonder what its like at Fifth Monday, Burnt Ice or the one with the crazy picture and weird name. The SnufAlufaFish.
#8 hinthas May 28, 2008 17:07:38	Are the lights still on? Ok, here. SNUFALAFISH Deep Sea and even Near Sea operations have always suffered the same problems. Diver and Equipment endurance. There has been many attempts to solve this problem, some more successful than others, but not many addressed the problem of having a "sterile" or "lifeless" environment to work in. Divers have always been a "funny" breed of folks and don't usually fit in with people or landlubbers topside. The SnufAlufaFish started as one such sterile environment that added on an engineering bay, then research station, then maintenance facility, then bigger and better amenities. Using contractors that worked on the various Disney and Seaworld projects, this facility was able to gain more personality and working space by branching out into the deeper sea floor. The main enclosed corridor is a five mile stretch of concrete that has a central electric tram running its length at a 30degree pitch. Modular sealed units and sub-corridors branch off of that to support industrial electrical projects like Wave generators or resource programs like kelp farms or other Deep Sea projects. Everyone needs a place for Downtime and this is where the SnufAlufaFish fits in. The "retro" crowd that designed the main facility grew up on shows like Sesame Street and remembered the beasty named Snufalufagus. Amusingly enough, some divers sounded this congested when they would complete a dive and the name fit. Just needed an alteration of sorts. Not many places around the world are the lavatory facilities labeled as Merman and Mermaid. SECRET Having an undersea lounge with beautiful scenery was a definite crowd pleaser that eventually turned into something like the old coffee houses of Europe.The SnufAlufaFish, with its crowd of divers both civilian and ex-military, have progressively become disenfranchised with the Modern World and its excuses for failed leadership. There is a progressive movement amongst MANY of of the full time inhabitants to secede from the world and declare their sovereignty. Half as many have wondered WHY it hasn't happened already.... DARK SECRET The ATLANTEAN INITIATIVE is the label the peoples have given this movement and the ex-military divers have already sectioned off the the nearby seas into Operation Areas. Ocean biologists have cultivated resistant strains of aquatic toxins from both flora and fauna to paralyze and decimate topside residents when introduced to water supplies. Ex-Frogman have coordinated with agencies for massive supplies of explosives and other lethal devices for their dirty deeds. Very soon this plan going to be implemented, its just a matter of when.... How do these other agencies fit in called: Death Sled Rejects, Chain Brothers, and the Ranth Beasts?
