Don't worry, I realized you wanted in the fun, and that's why I didn't close out the voting.  So, first thing is to vote, the rest of us have voted on page 2, so you can see suggested format and what we're voting on should be on the first page.

Secondly, we need to decide if you're city is Vanguard or Popular.  From what I can tell, you'd probably fall in the Vanguard catagory, but the Hurricane crisis may have reawakened Liberal Influence.  If you have a preference as to how your city is to be run, just suggest it.

Don't forget to laugh when we mandate every recruit you ever have must only use masks in lew of real disguises.

As promised, I bring you The Saga of the Colorado Liberal Crime Squad

Middle of January, 2007

APE EXPLORERS

Boston, MA - Researchers  here report that they have discovered an amazing new
wonder  drug.   Called  Purthium, the   drug   apparently   corrects  erectile
dysfunction in chimpanzees.
   Along with   bonobos,    chimpanzees are  our   closest cousins.   Fielding
questions about the ethics of their experiments from  reporters during a press
conference yesterday,   a spokesperson for the research team stated  that, "It
really isn't so bad as  all that.  Chimpanzees are  very resilient creatures.
They hardly notice when you drill their brains out, if you're fast.  We have a
very  experienced   research  team.   While we understand your concerns,   any
worries are  entirely unfounded.  I think the  media should be focusing on the
enormous benefits of this drug."
  The first phase of human trials is slated to begin in a few months.

Several of the less-mature members laughed at this headline.  However, Aaron warned them this was a most serious matter, that would shift public opinion about animal research towards the conservative end.

Denver, CO - A group calling itself the Liberal Crime Squad burst briefly onto
the scene of political activism   yesterday, according to  a spokesperson from
the police department.   
  The events  took place at the Court House.  Everyone in  the LCS group   was
arrested or killed.   
  Further details are sketchy, but police sources suggest that the LCS engaged
in theft and unlawful entry.

Ah, the Colorado Liberal Crime Squad makes their triumphant entry into the political scene!

Changing the Guard!

Justice Howard King, Elite Liberal, is stepping down.

After much debate and televised testimony, a new justice,
the Honorable Dick Jefferson, Conservative, is appointed to the bench.

We can all see why they call him Dick.

The Education of Sergio Cho: Day 3

The Automaton is tied hands and feet to a metal chair
in the middle of a back room.
It is left to hunger and thirst like a lost animal.
It is forced to listen to protest music in lieu of sleep.

Akira Muhammed beats the Automaton,
screaming "War on Terror! Tax cuts! Tax cuts!" in its face.
Sergio Cho seems to be getting the message.
Sergio Cho's weakened body crumbles under the brutal assault.

Sergio Cho is dead under Akira Muhammed's interrogation.
Akira Muhammed feels sick to the stomach afterward and
gets drunk, eventually falling asleep.

Our one and only death, it’s pretty sad.

...At least the only Enlightened among the sleepers are the Prison Guards...

[EuchreJack]

In Mid-August, 2011, we got raided by a swarm of people who took umbridge to our assault on AM radio.  Lost a few sleepers.

EDIT:

Homeless Shelter, Apr. 1, 2041                                    Money: $24080

 The masses are storming this location!

 Under Attack                           TAB - Next Squad   Z - Next Location

Sad thing is, the masses waited at least 10 years outside the homeless shelter for us!

EDIT: They survived the siege, but eventually the founder was released from prison, and killed by the cops fleeing the Crack House.  The End.

[Servant Corps]

Oh dear.

And, I'm pulling out of the game. Sorry for that. Hopefully, I'll go back to modification...

EDIT: Wait, you lost in Colorodo, so does that mean the Assocation of Liberalism fails?

[mainiac]

No!  We can't fail!

Perhaps someone could go to colorodo and wait until however many years into the game your squad was destroyed (I'd go with the arrest date, not the actual defeat date.)  They only influence perception the bare minimum to fend off defeat.  They then play the city from then on, and treat it as a Vanguard movement for at least a while.

[EuchreJack]

That's kinda the idea I was thinking of to represent losing cities.

Essentially, the starting founder recruits 6 people as sleepers, then disbands until the time things went bad.

The squad ended up spending $200 dollars, half on a date with a football coach, and the other half on unsuccessful legal defense for one of the liberals.  My other squad has $2000 in the bank, so it's covered.

So, it either goes to 2010 or 2041 before the squad goes live.  I'd judge it based on the status of the country.

EDIT: I was running two different organizations, so the popular movement in Conneticut is still a go.

[mainiac]

"You wouldn't dare." I whispered, forcing myself to ignore the fear induced by the death pressed up against the back of my skull.  "This is a public place."  The words were supposed to be defiant yet my voice was full of fear.
"Hm, you want to try me?" the man in black just smirked back.  "But you're not worth the paperwork.  Walk with me outside and don't try anything funny.  Come on, ladies first..."
Prodded onwards by the gun muzzle, I quietly walked through the building.  Public place it may be, but it was a ghost town this late at night.  The librarian didn't even look up as we passed her.  Outside, there was no sign of Simpson; in fact the street was deserted except for a middle aged out of shape cop leaning up against a squad car.
"The pickpocket, I take it?" The cop lumbered to his feet and produced a pair of handcuffs.
"Yeah, and here's the wallet you found on her."  The spy shoved me towards the cop then held up his wallet before slipping it into an evidence bag.  "Her prints are all over it and the credit card fraud will show up soon."
"Hey, you can't frame me like that?" my protesting instincts kicked in at the thought of being prosecuted for a crime I hadn't actually committed.
"Like you don't deserve it, I know your type." The cop let his contempt shine through in the voice and the way he overtightened the handcuffs and shoved me against the squadcar.
The agent was already forgetting about me, walking away as he talked into a cellphone.  "Yeah, caught the little shit.  You still following the other bitch, right?  We might need to move soon."
I might have cared about his conversation, or taken offense, but was more concerned with the vast infringement of civil liberties the cop was currently engaged in.  I screamed at him to stop being a thug and he opened started to say an insult back when interrupted by a long, defiant blast of a car horn.


The cop stopped in mid sentence, agast.  The agent and I looked as well.  We were momentarily transfixed like statues, staring at the sudden appearance of a rainbow colored BMW that had just peeled around the corner and was gunning it to us at max speed...  A hodgepodge of profanities came out before we desperately scrambled out of the way, barely getting away from the squad car before the BMW slammed against it, sending it flying a short distance through the air before landing with a suspension shattering clatter upon the pavement once more.
I scrambled back to my feet, a little bruised by my dive to the pavement, but alright.  The cop was slower getting up and I didn't waste the opportunity, kicking him in the teeth then snatching up the handcuff keys.  I desperately sprinted away, but there was no pursuit, with the agent apparently to distracted by the BMW that had nearly flattened him.
"Simpson," I muttered to myself "you're a genius!"
I rounded the corner and paused.  No one was chasing me, it seemed safe to at least peek back.  The cop was still nursing his wounds.  The agent fired a defiant shot at Simpson before she sped out of sight, going the opposite direction from me.  But the shot was just a gesture, he was already talking into his cellphone again.
"Gone to hell.... no fucking idea.... loose ends... finish the bitch already!"
My heart leaped as I heard those last words.  There wasn't a second to waste.

---------------------

10 minutes later I arrived breathlessly at Bonita's apartment building.  Nothing looked amiss, the ritzy apartments looked just as they had when I'd been there for "taxation" earlier, just deserted due to the nighttime hours.  I ran up the steps and saw the lock had been forced.  They'd beaten me there, damn, damn, damn!  Still, they might still be in there.  I flew up two a flight of stairs and saw the apartment door that had been forced open.

Boldly, I charged in to find Bonita, gaged and face down on the bed, being handcuffed by a man dressed the same as my secret agent friend from before.  I was on him in an instant, trying to snatch his gun away.  Frantically, we strained against each other.  The gun went out the window, unshot, then he regained his footing and tossed me up against the wall hard enough the make my head ring.  Then a bat struck the agent's back.  Bonita was up an swinging with a vengance, though not much skill.  The agent staggered away from me, then re-assessed the situation and made a hasty escape out the door.
"Sic semper tyrantis..." I hissed at the fleeing coward.  But then I threw open the window and turned to Bonita.
"There will be more coming." I stated with a calm but determined passion
"Huh, who are you?" Bonita didn't seem to pick up on how calm and determined I was.
"No time to chat, we need to escape!" Hopefully, a straightforward appeal would get  the message across.
"What's happening?" she insisted on asking, to my consternation.  Alright, maybe a cliche would make the point.
"Come with me if you want to live." I snapped at her while extending a hand.  Then I threw in a "Dammit!" for good measure.
She took my hand and I pulled her to the edge of the window.  There was a dumpster underneath and I leapt for it, pulling a terrified Bonita with me.  I don't know what she was so worried about.  I was the one who absorbed the impact of the fall.
"You alright?" I whispered as I helped her out of the impromptu cushion.  She began to speak and I held up a finger to her lips.  "Shh!" I cautioned.  She gave an odd pause for a moment then whispered back.  "I'm... alright.  Why are we whispering."
"Just listen..." I whispered back, then pointed down the alleyway we were in to the street in front of Bonita's apartment.  Angry voices could just be heard in that direction.  "Don't worry." I reassured her as we started to head in the opposite direction.  "We'll be long gone before they realize where we went."

((coming up, the reveal!))

[EuchreJack]

Nice job Mainiac!

About Denver, I had about $200,000 in the bank when the revolution failed.  Perhaps the new squad can spend 1/10th of that without asking their Populist breathren to back it up, provided the player of Denver fast-forward to 2011 by setting up the first 6 recruits as sleepers, and disbanding until 2011.

To all: I'm gonna tally up the votes Monday, so if anyone wants to vote, you got your deadline.

[jaked122]

but a democracy without guns is not really democracy at all, it is socialism

[Servant Corps]

Of course, jaked122. Indeed, we are not abolishing guns within the Assocation. After all, we are liberals, not socialists. Socialism is misguided, they believe capitalism must be abolished while in fact it can be reformed.

No, the LCS just want to abolish guns within the United States. Not within the Assocation. Nope.

[mainiac]

The association is after all, not part of the democracy we are trying to create.  What sort of monsters would we be if we wanted insane terrorists preying upon the peaceful citizens of a functioning democracy?

[EuchreJack]

That's the funniest thing I've read all day.

[EuchreJack]

Ok, got the votes tallied up, gonna edit the original post to reflect them.

[kotor39]

MAy i join

[EuchreJack]

Sure.  Just make sure your squad abides by our current rules.

Feel free to suggest new rules!
