Page 12 Charter ED assists members in the exchange of goods and services for financial gain, provides support for negotiations concerning price and fulfillment on behalf of its members. Due to the independent nature of the parties involved ED does not resolve disputes and does not pass judgment over events outside of its base. Once a settlement is reached, ED and all parties leave the base, then the division is no longer responsible for any actions performed by either party. Disputes are to be settled by the parties involved themselves or by other, higher, authorities if these can be found. ED's base provides a safe haven for those that are present, thus enabling parties engaged in commerce to conduct business in a safe environment. Any misconducting person will be expelled by force. The sphere of influence of ED only encompasses the base itself. All members of ED, are only bound by the divisions rules and rulings as long as they are at one of the corporation bases. The Director is always bound to the rules of the division and the rulings of the corporation. Unlike members, the Director can be judged by the Board of Directors for his actions off base. ED is an equal opportunity organization. Promotion within and assistance from the organization will not be hindered by reason of caste, physical attributes, whether they prefer green corduroy over faded LeviÔÇÖs or any other preference. Provided said member conforms to the DivisionÔÇÖs rules. ED requires a commission of 4% of the involved the transaction, with a minimum of 50.000, for every deal that is closed within the support of the division. The penalty for noncompliance is to be expelled from ED. The fee is to be paid within 2 weeks. Members are acquitted from this free if a party that is introduced by ED does not keep its end of the bargain (of which the member must provide proof). Any earnings made by the Division are to be invested in the DivisionÔÇÖs infrastructure and/or operations. At least 75% of the earnings must be spent in direct support of its members.

Page 11 EL DORADO INC. Commercial Sub-Division, Services Division, Intercorp Unlimited Introduction El Dorado Inc. (herein referred to as ÔÇ£EDÔÇØ) is committed to the pursuance of increasing wealth for itÔÇÖs members by offering a facility where members can pool resources, both intellectual and financial, for offering revenue generating services to members and non members alike. Members are encouraged to come together within the umbrella of ED and table any and all ideas for revenue generating commercial activities. It is envisioned the services offered will be both useful and varied in their scope. Details are yet to be finalized, but only the number of members within ED will limit the potential for individual revenue earnings. The more members, the more money can be generated and banked! At this stage all ideas put forward are tentative (dependant on the restrictions/rules of GCO and the SC). Some of the current proposals for activity programs to be implemented by ED are as follows: ┬À Insurance 1. Hulls 2. Cargo ┬À Loans ┬À Investing ┬À Storage ┬À Taxi Service Members can undertake any of the above, or other, activities individually, with the support of ED. However, to maximize revenue streams, it is encouraged that members will form groups and pool their resources. In this way a group will have the ability to underwrite larger risks/loans/investments and generate greater earnings while spreading the risk involved. The benefits for the individual members are maximized. The groups will usually contain members from various levels of the ED hierarchy as outlined in the following pages. In this way group experience levels are balanced to ensure successful implementation and execution for any activity, as well as providing senior support for junior members. The transaction levy owed to the Division will be paid by the group prior to any distribution of profits among group members. The distributions of earnings to individual group members will be governed by the outlined hierarchical experience/seniority. Ideas and creativeness is encouraged from all members. Therefore bonuses can be paid to junior members for successful implementation of an activity based on their creativity. ED provides a structure, which encourages teamwork and support to provide a healthy, creative and lucrative environment. In the early stages, following the launch of El Dorado Inc., members will more than likely build up their equity through straightforward trading activities (kindly supported by Commodity Inc.). EDÔÇÖs services are available to all members of the Corporation at a (yet to be finalized) discount and at full price to the non-members of greater galactic populace. ED also provides the facility through which enquiries for services can be received from anyone. The feasibility of these can be studied for risk and revenue potential and members assigned to design, implement and complete such service.

Junior Trader A member that just applied for membership and has recently been reassigned from the HR division to the trader's division. The rank influences the way that the Division treats members. The more lucrative/dangerous deals tend to be given to the more experienced members. However, when a junior trader is the only one that is present then it is given to him/her. Naturally one is free to refuse it and wait for a less dangerous deal. Non-members are treated as junior members but do not climb in the hierarchy.

Page 8 COMMODITY INC. TraderÔÇÖs Sub-Division, Services Division, Intercorp Unlimited Introduction Commodity Inc. is part of Corporation. The division aims to provide a safe environment for its members to do business as it caters only Traders. It tries to bring together traders and contractors, to provide a cheaper means of protection and to offer specialized knowledge concerning trading such as availability of goods and trade routes. The aim of Commodity Inc. is not to control its members but provide an environment in which the members are aided in getting new contracts. Once these contracts are closed the member is free to carry them out as the member sees fit. A member is also free to carry out contracts that are unrelated to Commodity Inc. or the Corporation. However, a member is responsible for all his actions so that if any action is taken that is against the interests of Commodity Inc. then the Corporation can elect to expel that member from one of its bases or even from the Corporation. Commodity Inc. conducts business from several bases, each having a set of rules. These rules are base specific and any member, when visiting one of these bases, is expected to adhere to these local rules. A member pays a commission for each contract that is made with the help of Commodity Inc in order to support the structure of the Division and the Corporation. At least 75% of these fees are reinvested in Commodity Inc. to support the members. Members are free to take contracts that are not Commodity Inc. related in which case the commission is not paid. Being a part of Commodity Inc. implies that all resources from both Commodity Inc. and the Corporation are at the membersÔÇÖ disposal. For example, a member can request for an escort from Guns For Hire Inc. or the services of Consignee Inc at a reduced price.

Page 7 DIVISIONS Introduction The Divisions of the Corporation are set up with the main intention to cater to the diverse races and castes available in the BC universe. Due to the variety available, the Corporation has decided to organize the Divisions according to castes. Castes of partially similar nature or vocations are organized together. The Divisions are as follows: - Services Division caters to Trader, Commercial and Paramedic castes. Operations Division caters to Mercenary, Assassin and Raider castes. Liaisons Division caters to Diplomat caste. Information Division caters to the Explorers and Scientists castes. Human Resource Division. The Human Resource Division is the only Division set up to cater to all member castes. This Division provides the opportunity for members to familiarize themselves with the BC universe, fellow members, game play, strategies, multi play and so forth. As there is no distinction of castes, the H.R. Division does not have a Director instead it has an elected representative to represent the Division during the CorporationÔÇÖs board meetings. The Divisions are independent of each other and any profits earned are not to be shared among the Divisions. The Divisions will operate under a broad general guideline or policy drawn up by the CorporationÔÇÖs Board of Directors, the interpretation and carrying out of which is dependent on each Division and the resources that it has available. Members of each Division are required to be civil to each other if encountered upon the premises of the Corporation and/or its Divisions under the CorporationÔÇÖs charter. Once outside of the jurisdiction of the Corporation, there are no rules governing the members with the notable exception of office bearers of the Corporation and/or its Divisions. The Corporation does adhere to the strict policy of non-governance of members (who by nature and choice are of independent nature) and retains the right to add, amend and abolish any rules and regulations set up by its Divisions that are contrary to this policy.

Page 5 Table of Organisation The hierarchy of the Corporation group is as follows:- Services Division Information Division Liaisons Division Operations Division Human Resource Division The divisions are totally separate entities (which is detailed here) from the Corporation just like the real world subsidiaries of a mega corporation. Each division will have its own internal structure and table of hierarchy. The Corporation does not dictate any rules or regulations towards the Divisions and nor has it any power over them. Each Division will have its separate levies and duties to be paid by members and non-members. As per the charter, the Corporation will receive a 4% levy for any transaction brokered by the Corporation and/or its Divisions and in return to Corporation will invest the monies by building better facilities and infrastructure for the benefit of the Corporation members. Furthermore, the Corporation may not obtain and/or coerce any free services from any member of the Corporation. ALL SERVICES utilised or contracted must be paid from the CorporationÔÇÖs treasury.

Page 4 CORPORATION CHARTER The charter for the Corporation set below was created by Cmdr Riga Gerdis, is also available on the CorporationÔÇÖs website at www.stormpages.com/intercorp: - The Corporation assists in the exchange of services and goods, safe transport, negotiations concerning price and deliverance on behalf of its members, provides contacts with personÔÇÖs qualified/able to provide services. The Corporation aims to create well-known locations where said services can be offered and/or purchased safely. The Corporation consists of a board of directors and members. The directors are responsible for outlining its strategy. The members have no obligation and are not bound to rules or orders. Due to the independent nature of the parties involved the Corporation does not resolve disputes and does not pass judgment over events outside of its base. Once a settlement is reached and one or both parties leave the base then The Corporation is no longer responsible for any actions performed by either party. In this situation, disputes are to be settled by the parties themselves or by refering to higher authorities if available or applicable. The Corporation provides bases that function as safe haven for those that are present, thus creating a safe environment in which business can be conducted. Any misconducting person will be removed by force. The sphere of influence of The Corporation only encompasses its bases. The corporation does not and will not deny non-members any services as long as this does not interfere with the interests of the Corporation or one of its members. Costs for non-members are always at least twice as high than for members. The Corporation requires a commission of 4% for each transaction, with a minimum of 50,000.00 credits, for every deal that is closed with direct help of the corporation. The penalty for noncompliance is to be expelled from all the Corporation's divisions. The fee is to be paid within 2 weeks. Members are exempted from pay this fee, if a party that is introduced by the Corporation does not keep its end of the bargain (of which the member must provide proof, sufficiency to judged by the Board of Directors). If the same thing happens to a non-member, then the Corporation only requires a maximum of half the commission as a token of good will towards this person. Any earnings made by the corporation are to be invested in the Corporation's infrastructure and/or operations. 80% of the earnings of a Division are invested back into that Division, which in turn invest at least 75% to support their members.

Page 2 INTRODUCTION Intercorp Unlimited (hereinafter referred to as ÔÇ£the CorporationÔÇØ) is the brainchild of Cmdr. Jeffery Eu. The whole intention of creating the Corporation is to organize the independent commanders (UCVs) of all races and castes into a more coherent group in order to establish a UCV community that will play a more vital role in the BC universe. The Corporation was set up to do the following: - 1) To provide a newbie friendly organization and environment to introduce and orientate newbies to the BC universe; 2) To provide a fraternity for respective castes to get communicate and get together; 3) To provide insights and support for game play (either single player or multiplayer); 4) To provide a platform and background for role playing sessions; 5) To provide a database on UCV commanders that are available; 6) To provide a hypermarket for specialized skills to be hired from; 7) To allow casual players to still be able join in a fleet type organization without the actual restrictions of an actual fleet. The current members roster are appended in Appendix 1. At the moment weÔÇÖre still trying to bash out the economics and background of the Corporation and furthermore, are trying very hard to contact and convincing any UCV Commander to join in. All information included in this Corporate Profile is subject to change and are the intellectual copyrights of Fendi, Guy Hanson (Guybert), TRD, Peter Kist (Riga) and Jeffery Eu (Jeffery Eu).

I will post the corporate profile here for your perusal in case you guys have forgotten the details

Ladies and gentlemen, RL has been intruding into my gaming time, therefore the lack of post. That being said, I really need a show hands (in this case posts ) so that I can rearrange the corporation profile and start reorganising and restructuring Intercorp. Kindly reconfirm your emails by posting here or PM me. I will start removing the existing sub-divisions from the corporation profile within 2 weeks from the date of this post if there is no response. I have posted the corporate profile here for your reference. [ 07-04-2003, 11:47 PM: Message edited by: Cmdr Jeffery Eu ]

Outcast, Have you actually played the game? Hide and seek is one thing, being pursued and refused docking rights in every star system and star base is another. If you play as a raider in the BC universe chances are you will tick of Galcom, the Insurgents and many other factions especially if you are playing solo and being indiscriminate in your poaching.

BTW if you haven't done so, go register yourself at BCC Forum

I first read about BC in a PCG magazine sometime back in 1994 or 1995, I can't really remember. At that time I was really into X-Wing and Tie Fighter and I wanted more!! There it was my dreams came true. Unfortunately, when I went to Australia to obtain my tertiary education, I had to leave my pc behind until 1997. That was when I spent 24 hrs downloading the updated release, printing the pages and pages of the manual using the university's printers and joining the board as a lurker. Had a lot of fun learning how to play BC, however had to leave every thing behind when I joined the workforce back home. Then came BCM and now BCMG!!! It has been a very long and fun trip, Derek, thanks. Here's to hoping that there will be many more years devoted to BC.

Heya, Been a while since I posted, as RL has been a madhouse, but I have been checking in occassionally. Haven't placed my order for BCMG yet as I have busted my savings on a month trip to Australia with my family but will do so soon. Anyway good to hear from you. We really must get reorganised soon. Newsletter should be out soon as well. Just need an update on all members's presence on the board and your respective emails.

What not try out the following authors:- 1. Raymond E. Feist; 2. Guy Gavriel Kay; 3. Michael A. Stackpole; 4. David Eddings; 5. David Weber; 6. R. A. Salvatore; 7. Terry Pratchett; The books I would really recommend:- 1. Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar Trilogy; 2. Raymond E. Feist & Janny Wurts's Kelewan Trilogy; 3. Guy Gavriel Kay's Tigana, A Song For Arbonne and The Lions of Al-Rassan; 4. Michael A. Stackpole's Talion: Revenant; 4. David Weber's Bahzell Bahnakson series; 5. R. A. Salvatore's Icewind Dale Trilogy, Drow Elf Trilogy and accompanying books.

The lost of these 7 pioneers are a severe tragedy to humanity. No matter how badly we beat ourselves up i.e. through war, tyranny, discrimination or terrorism, these pioneers are the ones guiding us to the new frontiers, showing the true ideal of being human. May god take them in his arms gently and may they rest in peace.

So what's your impression of the Sim City 4? IMHO, I find that the this sequel is really interesting in comparison to Sim City 3000 Unlimited for the following reasons:- 1. Now instead of just building one mega city, you will have to depend on your neighbours to develop a highly successful city WITH skyscrapers; 2. It is much, much harder to make a profit now which is true in RL; 3. Accurate traffic simulation that affects your city's development just like RL. However there seems to be a lack of information on traffic patterns. Considering that the game has both graphs and maps for every other information why couldn't Maxis add in a map tracing traffic flows from residentials to commercials/industrials. 4. You can have day and night transitions. However, the manual really sucks. All in all 9.00 out of 10.00. Docked 0.25 for the really uninformative manual. Docked another 0.50 for lack of a building designer and also lack of a MARINA!!!. Docked the final 0.25 for being including such ugly advisors that really say nothing.

Ahem, was wondering if anyone can get into the old BCC forum or alternatively the new one? As I have been trying for the last nine days with no luck.

Ah, the joys of growing up. NOT!!!! Enjoy your RL while you can T-WOPR, after college and uni, life will be totally different as you will have to manage a lot of resposiblities. Just ask Riga!!
