The Cirran Restoration Society (CRS) is a group dedicated to the reconstruction of Callisto's home village Cirra (which you might recall was burned to the ground by the Destroyer of Nations). What started off as a fictional post advertizing the Grand re-opening of the First National Bank of Cirra, quickly inspired the construction of the Law Offices of IM Akrooke. And soon after that came the official founding of the CRS. Basically the idea is to rebuild the village one "post" at a time. Buildings are constructed by advertizing their existence, the form which the advertizement takes is completely at the discretion of the constructor. There have already been several different methods, with the most common being the announcement of Grand-openings detailing what the building contain, what services are offered, what rules must be obeyed, etc. For an example, read the First National Bank of Cirra announcement at (http://www.hudsonleickfan.com/CallistosTales/bank.htm).
As X:WP is prone to traverse time so are we at the CRS. Our new and improved version of Cirra includes a bank, a mall, a heavy Metal Punk Rock Band!, a space program, and many other modern facilities. The main thing to keep in mind when starting a project is Callisto's philosophy. And of course, be creative! In keeping with The Callistonian way many of the CRS projects have been dedicated toward building and maintaining military forces, including Ground Troops, a Naval force, An Air force, a Space Program, a military intelligence division, A warrior training academy, and a gymnastics school (yes in Cirra Gymnastics correlates heavily with warrior skills).
As the CRS is not a MUDD or IRC it does not take place in real time, so activity is accomplished merely by posting what the group is up to or what the enemy is up to, battle victories, defeats, raids, that kind of thing. It should be noted that it is not necessary to join Cirra's forces, you may choose to become an enemy of the Empire. If you would like to join an existing branch of the service I suggest you contact the CO of that group. There is an accompanying "CRS - Who's Who" post that supplements this one.
If you want to start a project or simply join the think-tank by throwing out some ideas, please e-mail the current CRS admin. Though this is not an official group, it will help keep track of what is being done with regards to restoring Cirra. This should help eliminate duplicating the work of others. Remember this is all in fun, so if you say you want to help out that doesn't mean you are bound by law to do so. All contributions are welcome.
Fine Print:
All citizens of Cirra are subject to unannounced visits by the Goddess at any time for any reason she sees fit. As citizens of Cirra one's primary duty is to serve the Goddess Callisto to the best of your ability or suffer the consequences. Be advised, the consequences won't be pretty. You should also be advised that your best will rarely (if ever) be good enough. We suggest passive acceptance. Contrary to popular opinion the Goddess does have a sense of humor, however it is not your typical run of the mill ah gee wasn't that cute sense of humor. Let's just say if the Goddess is ROTFL, you won't be...or at least not with laughter. You should also be advised while Bards are allowed in Cirra they are not high on the totem pole and are often left to carry the brunt of the Goddess' "antics". However, lest you think being a warrior will save you from a bard's fate, allow me to direct your attention to the (un)fortune of a certain Cirran Mercenary General (on the flip side, it has kept at least one bard from having to do her laundry).
