[Chaunk]

Now we need to explain why I'm CEO and not Morgan. I like an assasination, possibly even by one of us - will give us some good role playing later on in the game.

Congrats to all

[Kody]

Hey where's the SCUM position?

[AndiD]

I *knew* I forgot something important.

[Drogue]

You two are encourageable

[Snowflake]

I'm starting to believe that money can buy the entire planet now.

[Impaler[WrG]]

Actualy Chaunk I was thinking that Morgan should be convicted of Embezeling Company Profits (we could imply that you framed him to ruthlessly take his position if you wish). I figure this is a more Morganesk way of disposing of our Factions original leader. Last game all the faction leaders simply meet untimly deaths so I was hopeing to use something a bit less Cleshay this time. If you dont mind I was thinking of writing a story to this effect.

I think Vander should start up a Public Relations HQ thread ware we can submit and discuss stories for Morgan-Link.

[Chaunk]

Well I'd like some reason to still have bases called Morgan industries etc. I refuse to have the entire faction named after me, and Morgan's death does give us a reason to do so - in memorial type thing.

OTOH, I don't really think we necessarily need a RP reason for everything we do, so lets just think up something fun and stick with it.

[Snowflake]

Yes Chaunk framed him alright. Did somebody say money can buy everything? Suits Morgan himself though, since what he believes came back to bite himself.

But it is not to say that Chaunk is not hunted with a little sense of guiltyness. So he insisted some bases to be named after the famous industrialist and the creator of the Morgan's faction.

[Vander]

Well, I did plant the seed that Yang killed him back in the first MorganLink Issue, but I also like the idea of Morgan being convinced to buy the remains of the Unity (while still in space) or something...

[Method]

If I may, I'd like to request the appointment of Monocle Minister. I believe that by wearing a top hat and monocle and saying "I say!" whilst acting snooty towards the other factions, I can be a very valuable resource to this faction

[jtsisyoda]

*Taps sword on Method's shoulders*

"So annointed, Monocle Minister Method. Now go forthwith to adjacent sundry factions and make snoot."

[Chaunk]

Can Method be the Minister of Monocles, hence MOM? Just a better acronym....

[Method]

/me giggles *

Huzzah!

[AndiD]

Made official. Congratulations!
