OK onto sirius....opps sorry...i mean serious biz
There's a skeleton in my closet and since I just farted in it he really wants out.
If your new eCanada used to be a much different place then how you find it today and if your not and were born in the good ole days of V1 then you know of what I speak. It used to have a lot more citizens that were a lot more active and engaged in the various fun filled activities eRep and the community had to offer. We had one National army that used up all the tax money, eCanada had a court full of like 50 judges, we had Ambassadors and lawyers and we even had Francophones, we did, I'm not making that up.
eCanada also had CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service) and I was a member called Agent Tisdale.
Now that I got three maybe four peoples attention Id like to rewind a bit. At the time eCanada had one National Army called the CAF or Canadian Armed Forces and we had one independent Military Unit called The Crimson Canucks (at the time we were not being funded). Anywho the Canucks from time to time would cause a wee bit of mayhem that ruffled some feathers within the CAF such as gaining access to its section of the eCan forums and announcing its disbandment and placing recruitment ads in various locations, and wouldn't ya know that the leadership of CSIS were also in the CAF. A bunch of us were banned and there was an effort in Congress to label us a terrorist organization. At the time I was the Commanding Officer of the Canadian branch of The Crimson Order and if memory serves it was Homer J Simpson that brought to light that a few of our members were actually working or might be working for CSIS, I dont remember if he had any proof, maybe he can enlighten me in the comments but lets say for the story's sake that CSIS/CAF wanted to know what the Crimsonites were up to as we were a constant threat to its image and perhaps its existence in the state it was at the time
So I thought it would only be fair if the watchers were watched and I took the oath and signed a non-disclosure something or other which I assume doesnt hold anymore, right?....right?
My plan was to approach CSIS much like I approached everything I did at the time and that was with enthusiasm and zeal, gain some trust and spy on the spyers, in the mean time I was given the exciting task of vetting immigrants before they were accepted into eCanada, at them time a few if not most cared about who got in.
Pretty soon I was given an even more exciting task of threat assessment, my area of focus was the United Kingdom as we were on and off combatants. I would research every party and its leadership and every CP candidate and his cabinet by going through articles, combat history, citizenship history, ect,ect,ect Id pass the info along to "my handler" and he would pass it on up the chain or wipe his virtual ass with it, I dont know, it was probably a huge waste of time.
and pretty soon after that CSIS disbanded and Agent Tisdale was given a modest severance of nothing and told thanks, go kick rocks. My whole Secret Agent Man career lasted maybe a couple months
My dream of being a Secret Agent Man never came to fruition as I never left the desk or accomplished anything I wanted to but Ill leave you with this. eCanada used to be a much more active and engaged country with scandal, political intrigue, epic campaigns, political crash and burns, worker bee's, villians and hero's and its a wee bit sad that those days are gone and we will probably never see days like them ever again.
Agent Tisdale signing off
Fun Fact: I got my Agent name from the USS Tisdale, one of the ships I was stationed on while in the US Navy
I was on board when it was decommissioned and sold to Turkey I believe

I love you man.
Always have, from the first day you worked in my company, to the day you resigned in disgust LOL
You're awesome.
One of the best memories and friends I have in this game.

Also. Rylde is a jackass and a shitheel and if I could give my left testicle to rid him of cancer I would do so in a heartbeat.
One other thing, it's the four year anniversary of Tyler F Durden (aka Christopher Day) dying in real life, ina car accident in southern california.
I miss the hell out of that guy.
Onward o7
TFD was awesome.
This article makes me sad, I really miss the communities from V1.
Me too...
I always knew you were a CAF shill
Your story about being in High Command and being so outraged at the Long Sword Rebellion so you left never added up
cant tell if your being facetious
Disappointed more then outraged and that's actually why I left
I joined CSIS to find out who was spying on TCO basically
Oh, kinda like Acacia Mason "doulbe secret double agent #secretz style" - To this day I am still not sure who's side that sucker was really on....
Did you ever find out who it was?
I did it.
well you could still be an secret agent man.
MU's were givin the task of that stuff years ago.
Just noone did anything. (or did we. DUN DUN DUNNNNNNN)
If it makes you feel better you were short listed to go undercover with the "ex-Patriots" but you didn't make the final cut.
Errr... I mean...... whaaaaaaaaaat?
under any kind of cover with Aeriala is not something I would even been remotely interested in
Triple Agent Tits dale more like it ! Hiyoooo ! Good stuff.
Wow... thanks for the walk down memory lane 😛
Muwahaha, and I was the spy who spied on the spies who spied on our spies. Or was I the spy who ... oh damn, just forget it.
" if memory serves it was Homer J Simpson that brought to light that a few of our members were actually working or might be working for CSIS"
I have absolutely no recollection of that. It may or may not have been me 😛
good my little spy. Keep telling me all about TCO.
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Shhhhhhhhh
Awsome article 😁
o7
A shame you were only in it for a couple of months. I was in it for a couple of years and got ito all sorts of mischief 🙂
I have been considering writing about my exploits for a long time, maybe I will some day soon when I have the time.
The memories of V1... Sigh
o7
dat a$$ at the end, bet it was a spy to, just looking all sexy like, saying stuff like hey, I think youre cute, want to grab a drink, oh btw I have a bf and he lifts weights...
Interesting story though!
Hodor
I is shocked! Intrigue, deceit, back room deals, insurgents, ...
~pickle remembers some shiz from way back~
~pickle slowly backs out of the room, looking to see if anyone is watching him~
You know, I think this may be the first time a CSIS agent actually broke the NDA. Still, old news. 😉 *rubs hands together* Well, I guess this means I've got to break out the old Canadian Intelligence Act:
http://ecanada.forumotion.com/t1691-the-canadian-intelligence-act
I've been waiting for something like this... As per my oath:
Former MoJ and CJotSC powers activate!
I find you guilty of offenses 1. (m) and (p) Plus special case 1. (a) As Special Agent Sprunger I hereby relieve you of your command pending review, and revoke your forum citizenship until such time as the Justices of the Supreme Court of eCanada can review and rule on your case!
In other words, I'm gonna do nothing, since none of those mechanisms even exist any more. But I saw you sweat! 😛
how about a stern spanking with a wet noodle
I must say, I was expecting several colourful references to my age, and my lawn... 😛 As for a good noodley spankening, you are welcome to one anytime crisfire, that's what frienemies are for. 😉
Special Agent Sprunger? lol. It would be interesting to see how many people were actually in CSIS. Marc kept that pretty quiet.
A debate about which was a bigger waste of time and actually bad for eCanada - the Supreme Court or CSIS - is perfect for old pedants like us. In term of man hours wasted, I'm going to have to go with CSIS.
No wait, that's actually Congress. I still remember re-writing the hideous monstrosity that the CSIS Act later became only to disband it completely not too long afterwards. What a waste of time all that was.
Should have been an operative, way more entertaining than a paper pusher 😛. I don't think I even read the CSIS act.
Way more interesting? Not the way crisfire described it. I turned down a request to join because I thought it would be real fake work and not just fake work that looked real.
Crisfire wasn't in it long enough. It certainly wasn't fake work.
I meant in the sense that it's a game. But either way, it'll take another article for me to see that the work you did was of any actual value.
Here is one tidbit: The French spy in our congress.
The problem with the CSIS work was it became work sometimes rather than just a game. Some of the things done were extremely monotonous but was very rewarding when the work was finally completed, but it wouldn't be long before we got our next assignment lol.
awesome eRoleplaying
Hé! Vous avez toujours des francophones, mon beau tête.
When I was minister of immigration and that portfolio actually called for doing stuff, I had access to the csis forums. I remember that there was only one agent who actually did anything. Was probably you. I remember coming away from the entire thing not very happy with csis which is why I then went on to just do all the research myself and propose candidates to congress. The name Tisdale does resonate in my memories for some reason.
I think there were others and I was only in for a couple months before it disbanded
the info i gathered was passed on up to a different agent and I wish I could remember the names but as a newb and probably under a wee bit of suspicion I didnt have much access
There were quite a few agents. Some of the stuff you all learned about, other stuff you didn't need to know. Immigration was only 1 part of CSIS.
I'm sure Etem would have loved to have access to the other empty CSIS sub-forums. 😛
CSIS wasn't based in ecan forums
Ah...Good times
TCO...we liked causing trouble at first. I thought it was tonnes of fun. But I really do miss all that intrigue and posturing.
HOLY CRAP...IT'S BRUCK

Hey Bruck. Long time sir. Seems to be the day for reminiscences and talking with old friends. 🙂
