As a misunderstanding has arose more than once I feel it necessary to address said issue directly. There really are a couple issues I feel are important, but this is the one that people must be aware of before posting here. So please, bear with me on this.

Pretty much everyone is welcome to post on this board. I encourage creative work here and leave things mostly open to this end. I do not always have time to read every thread or deal with every situation that may arrive immediately, but I get to them ALL eventually. When in doubt I would say to go ahead and PM me, or post something in the OOC thread. I?ve encouraged this, so long as it be productive.

Now, someone got the impression that I do not wish strangers posting here. Those of you who do read the board often will not need to be told that this isn?t true. Many people have come to the Bonny Corp building and have been invited in without me having a clue who they are. These people have come with respect and in good faith, for the most part.

Also, it seems not everyone is aware that the main office building has an impenetrable shield surrounding it. For the record, this shield was put in place by the Abyss himself. It transcends time and space. There is no getting in or out by teleportation, magic, science or any mundane means. And as stated - time traveling will do you no good. In a sense it has always been there,

There is a portal, an elevator that connects office building to an abandoned building down the block. These two elevators are basically one and the same for all intense and purposes. Doors on one side open to the warehouse down the street, doors on the other the Bonny Corporation?s main office. It brings people back and forth. Of course, you need have the correct fingers prints, and correct codes for where you wish to go. And there is more security in addition to this. Other buildings in the compound are not covered by the shield but have plenty of surveillance and security as well.

Now I understand that not everyone who may wish to post here has read the previous posts (numerous ones pointed out the way to come and go) and that is okay. There is a lot of info on this board. But I don?t appreciate people coming into the building, which their characters can not physically do, with false intentions. If your character does, they will be dealt with accordingly. This is not because I wish to discourage people from posting. I accommodate as much as I can to work out details of coming and going for those who do try to be considerate.

For those who are not employees nor have honorary privileges to come and go? There is a doorbell at the gate to the main office building, should you desire an audience. Thanks everyone for making this an interesting and cooperative board! Keep up the excellent work.

Love,
-Mary?s mun

This is the semi-official theme song of the Bonny Corporation. It was written by Calico Bonny's mun; the title of this post is as close to a title as the song has. Here's a reprint of that silly song, as revealed by Lucy Kitty in a Club Babylon-related post:

"The Corporation! We're not a syndicate, we're a corp-or-a-tion!
We sell wine-and drugs-and guns-and people-and coffee-and ivory-and silks-and spices-and leather!

Oh, we'll rob ya blind, and you won't mind.
We have more sexy women than a bucket full of kittens
We have armies of demons that have never been bitten
We rob from the rich what we take from the poor,
And leave all them wanting just a little bit more.

The Corporation! We're not illegal, we're a corp-or-a-tion!
We sell parrots-and pearls-and monkeys-and rum-and jewels-and pleasure-and politicians-and hardwood-and people like you and me!"

There's other verses too, but we have to be really drunk to sing those.

At last, the long-awaited list of the chain of command at the Bonny Corporation, as well as the official job titles (i.e., what we claim to pay you for), and the level of responsibility. Anyone who was accidentally off the list, send me a Private Message and I'll try to figure out where you fit in.

And remember... we're always hiring!

CEOs
Anne Bonny
Mary Read

*CEOs run the Corporation and coordinate employees; they understand not only everything that is happening at the moment, but the big picture that it all fits into.

Associates
Cadence Maycom - Spiritual Advisor
Jade Eli Ravenlock Rogue - Public Relations Advisor
Madame "Kiki" Delfoart - Staff Necromancer
Bob a.k.a. Chaos - Honorary Associate/Advisor
- Nicholai Crowley - Spiritual Advisor (deceased/fired)

*Associates are "full members" of the Bonny Corporation - what, in the Mafia, might be called a "made man". They generally know everything the Corporation is up to, and they direct business operations in their area of expertise. They attend closed meetings, and the Bonny Corporation takes full responsibility for their actions; for this reason, Associates must know the current allies and "enemies" of the organization, so they do not create a political situation out of a personal interaction.

Employees
Bonny Corporation:
Alana Wyndael - Elite Bodyguard
Brandon Lee Morgan - Head of Research at Morgan Laboratories; Ideas Man
Marguerite - NPC Secretary Extroardinaire
- Ariana Laurea Tarcil - Nicholai's prot?g? (Location unknown)

Club Babylon:
Kalinda Acheron - Exotic Dancer at Club Babylon
Lucy Valentine - Entertainer at Club Babylon
Adrienne Kelly - Bartender at Club Babylon
Calico Bonny - Club Babylon's official Naked Waitress
Sandrine Davenport-Black - Undercover Security at Club Babylon

*If the Associates are like adult members of the B.C. "family", Employees are rather like the family's children: we protect them, we support them as long as they listen to us, we indulge them when they please us. Their actions reflect on us enough that they can embarrass us. But since they don't know more about Corporation business than they have to, they don't have the kind of accountability that their better-informed superiors are expected to bear.

Contractors
Faye Valentine
Lang Darkwing
Maximus Angelius
Brian Fury
Anabel Couteau (sort of)

*In another note, I called our Contractors "akin to the caterers of the business world" - that is, providers of necessary, usually mundane services that are better performed by specialists. For whatever reason, we have not hired them. Though some of them may be friends on a personal level, our only connection to these people as a Corporation is that they performed a job, and we paid them for it. End of story.
