History
Our “Company” traces its roots to a motley crew which lived on the surface of Magnus II, a collection of older servicemen who rotated out as instructors at the local engineering university, drill sergeants at the combat boot camp, and bakers at one of the few privately owned eateries. Over the years, the men were left behind, “retired.” The community continued to dwindle, eventually young charismatics came and went on the streets by the week. Some of them survived the first assassination attempts though, and so the para-military bakers were hired by the charismatics. Over this time, the ethic code was developed. Agents not knowingly accepting contracts against, or contracts that cancel active deals with, their clients, being the most well known piece. What started as spying eventually led to a few hits against the most violent gang leaders, with the transport of supplies through gang-war barricades in the worst of times.
As new colonists landed, the ranks of the illustrious group swelled. Operatives are typically brought into the organization by invitation of an offered muffin, a simple banana nut, this is the only publicly confirmed term of the “language of the muffins” though it is commonly accepted that a poppy seed muffin you did not order is a bad sign.
While the organization punishes outright piracy, it is not a para-military corporation, is not sanctioned by the UEE, and they are known to smuggle goods for the right price.
As of 2944, the group still mostly operates out of planet side groups. Only recently confirming the existence of a few “full time spacers.”
Manifesto
We are here to make our way in the universe, plain and simple. Towards this end, we ensure maximum autonomy within set bounds.
- Muffineers may always count on each other for support, whether in battle or exploration in the far reaches of space, a Muffineer can not turn on his fellows and be excused, if there are shots fired, they will be returned seven-fold, If there is someone who wishes to establish alpha dominance by hostile radio contact, they will quickly be required to put their ship where their mouth is.
- Virtually all activities are allowed, but piracy for the sake of piracy will not be tolerated. Also be advised that in the interests of the organizational image at large, shooting at free floating suits in any capacity, other then a laughable attempt to board by honor abuse, is not allowed within the ranks.
- All Muffineers are advised to be competent in the basic fields of combat, stealth flight, and in cases of operatives close to the borders of known space, jump-point navigation, before specializing, at which point they may apply for promotion to Muffin 1st class, Muffin Superior being reserved for exceptional marks.
- Lastly, Muffineers are expected to collaborate in teams for most operations. Use our corner of the spectrum as a “want-ad” section, and send direct transmissions to apply to teams. It is the intent to eventually settle down with a well rounded crew for expeditions into the ‘verse.
Charter
Think of the manifesto as the rules for your character, this encompasses the rules for you, the players.
- As you have gathered, we will have no cyberbullying, we will also be expecting you to control your facilities of language in general. No malicious trolling, sailor swearing, spamming, or otherwise inappropriate content, including links to trademarked files of any type, will be tolerated.
- If you are discharged, for the first two times, you will be out of our ranks for at least three weeks, and if accepted back in, will be on a probationary period of a month, regulated to the rank of Muffin Inferior. Third time and thereafter will be at the (or ‘a’ as the case may eventually be) Muffin of Doom’s discretion as to whether reapplication is allowed.
- Cheaters are not welcome here, we will respect the rules of any server we are on. If they are liberal, we are welcome to be liberal, but when returning to the main server, all artificial software aids and known exploits are to be dropped.
- The High Muffin command reserves the right to revise these public materials as needed by private vote.
