Well, I'm creating the CIA, or at least the CIA thread. @HippoPhileus is the real mastermind behind this, so he is the president, I guess I am the vice-president.
Now for the introduction to the CIA. CIA stands for the Cookie Information Association. We are here to help new members of the shard to feel welcome and more importantly, keep them safe from exploitation by malicious members of the DA (when I see that I think of Dumbledore's Army, its actually the Dark Alley) and prevent the unintentional ingestion of Hemalurgic spikes.
We obtain this goal by the distribution of the below pamphlet, in spoiler tags.
We have some rules for agents of the CIA, which are as followed: (this list will be edited to include more rules as they are created)
Do NOT distribute this pamphlet unless another person has already attempted to distribute cookies on a thread(recently)
Do NOT derail a conversation with debate about ethicality of cookies or other such topics.
If another sharder is being excessive in their attempts to sway people to the DA, contact a member of the ADMINS (Amazing Dutiful Men(and women) Instructing Niceties (of the) Shard), Preferably @AonEne or @Voidus
If one of our own is too excessive, contact me or HippoPhileus and we will take care of the situation
We will probably have a member list and way to join, but not yet, so just pledge your support, I guess.
