(Note: most of this post takes place OOC, referring to documents and files IRL, although the documents and files have lots to do with the TECS universe)

Hi all!

Have a bit of an unusual one for you. I've had this on the back burner for a bit, and it's mostly done except for what looks to be the longest part.
After a bit of sitting and thinking about the S.O.U.L Contract as posted on the TECS Wiki, I realized that the Contract as posted was making references to other documents without naming them. So, hitting the 'Net running, I found the documents and copied them into one file and modified them enough to work in... they ended up being Non-Disclosure Agreements (classified and unclassified), which was great. While working through them to replace various references and add some details to them, I got curious about the 'Title' and 'CFR' references, so looked them up... ended up with about a dozen files for each version of the NDA with each NDA only needing a few sections from each file. And, that's where things got tricky... I was going to pull only the required sections from each file and have them in a file alongside the NDAs, but a couple refer to the whole document.

So... I'm looking for a few good editors to go through the documents and help edit and reword stuff as needed to trim the documents as possible down to something manageable. Also, removal of references to Congress or DHS or whatever is fine (unless it would actually add to the legitimacy of the file). Try to keep formatting sensible, if not identical to the originals;
End goal: real-world reading/sounding files for use on here that can be referenced in group or solo RPs for added realism as needed/seen fit.

Files/documents (these are hosted on my Google Drive for now, files are editable... use Office or whatever):
paperwork folder
S.O.U.L Contract (compare the two for details on changes)
the NDAs as one file, can be split for ease of working with
.txt file listing the references , the documents (separated by which NDA they are used in)


Also, if we could maybe work on the ACME regulations manual, Special Operations rulebook, maybe an ACME rulebook if possible.

Any help or opinions anyone may have would be great!
Thanks!
Jon

(Also, I have a backup of the folder on my end, and the files in the folder auto-update on my end)
((Edit to add: And, I'm in no way trying to take anything away from @Gunnar Svensson or anyone from Auld Lang Syne... credit where credit is due))

Any links for the pamphlet and articles?
I could take a look and work on it some more (I have all the time).

I've been putting together a YouTube playlist that the content for would make a good few pamplets.
"So You Find Yourself At A Dinner Party: A Pamplet."
"So You Seem To Be Trapped In The Wilderness: A Pamplet."
Etc

The ACME NDAs - a copy of the ACME NDAs that are signed by each agent or anyone working with ACME as a consultant are required to sign.

A copy of the SOUL contract - a copy of the SOUL contract that ACME agents or anyone working with ACME as a consultant are required to sign.

New agents at ACME are required to sign both, and anyone working with ACME has to sign both before they head out on a mission. Once signed, independent consultants are covered for the duration of the mission, and card-holding ACME agents are covered for the duration of their employment, or until either is updated or changed.

((OOC: As I come up with more to add, I'll update them, and I also plan to add all the references mentioned in both as possible... either to the base files, or as separate files referenced through the files... not sure yet. I have most of them saved, but if someone wants to tackle that one, go ahead and post a new copy of each somehow.))

    ((OOC: So, I am still here (at least, while ACP is still a thing, then I have to tether my phone to my laptop, send it's internet to Ethernet to my router and setup my other laptop to access that... I managed it once totally by accident)... updating stuff I'm working on is not a fun process (if anyone checks my stories folder on my Google Drive) anymore... the laptop at my desk is old (Core 2 Duo, 2Ghz, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 Ultimate)... Chrome won't update, Drive won't work... I'm stuck using FreeFileSync to keep stuff up to datep things synced. I have plans of getting a job and having money to have something better (a doorstop is better)

    [continuing] I'm sorry if any of my posts are/could be inflammatory or anything... some of them are stuff I've had in the pipeline for a while, and I messed with it enough to get it postable... that's why there are dates showing when I started working on stuff... I'm not, and never have been, trying to step on anyone's toes or say "this is how it should be"... I have no say here, not sure who does these days (like I posted... maybe this is a test to see if we devolve into chaos). Posts like Hierarchy were started long ago, and meant as a guideline and not because I'm the voice of Sauron.

    [continuing] I don't have the time to be here a whole lot, I don't have much beyond mom to help with my rent (and once I have a job, that'll take up more time, though I will keep working on stuff (both for here and not) as often as possible, and post when possible on here. I have a question that needs some clarification... being that we are supposed to get permission from the person if we use their character in an addition/story/post, how would that apply if the character is core to the universe (like Carmen... I can replace @Chase, maybe cobble someone into @Ivy's place... but, like @Carmen, being that she's a major character, as long as I don't have her acting or write a major part for her, would that circumvent the rule at all?

    [continuing] I'm just curious... the absence of the major's leaves a gap that I'm not sure what to do with anything... we (the Left Behind) could do a story together (or some stories separate), and that'd be cool, but without being able to use any major's, I'm not sure where to take anything. And, yeah... you can probably guess what my typing is like here (or anyplace else)... I type here or in Word, I type something (or notepad), and 15-20+ seconds later it shows up, so I have to stay on top of my grammar and spelling. I have to keep on top of all that, because I'm working on the big Carmen story at the same time, so I can't slip off my game.))

    @Jon Eckart Not exactly sure if I understand all your computer probs. I hope you get those resolved soon. Yes, I have many probs with my basic Google Chrome, too. I think it's fair to say we all have a love/hate relationship with technology. 😆 As far as your stories are concerned, you can use any cannon character you like, whether there is a person playing that role on here or not. Say the story is a fanfiction; and that the version of Chase, or Carmen (or whoever) from the computer games, gameshow (or whatever). We don't do Netflix Carmen, mostly because of the violence. And because it is fanfiction, you can also create other characters and situations to suit your story. Now, Chase, Carme, Ivy (or whoever) were here, of course, you would ask their permission; tell them your idea; and if they like it they might write it with you. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you for a friendship with someone on--and off-site, you might form a partnership with them, and write stories together (like Chase and Carmen; or Chase and Ivy; or Lucy and I) and then you will just put a statement saying that this story is a co-write with whoever. In fact, if you collaborate with this person a lot, people will just assume they have your permission; although you should always say it anyway, just as a common courtesy. In fact, ironically, the only people whose permission you must always ask to use their characters are "original" characters, who are creations of their individual writers (which most of us on here, are) specifically because we are not cannon. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

    @Jon Eckart Now, if you want to write something, but don't have a lot of time, I would suggest posting a status; or replying to someone else's status. Or you could start a guessing game. Look under Forums/Guessing Games, and look at some things other people have done, to give you ideas. I hope that helps. 🙂
