For those of you I haven't introduced myself to yet, my name is Dr. Stephen Strange.

The more recently arrived may not know but thanks to the generosity of Morningstar we own two buildings in New Amsterdam: one is the garage above the current safehouse and the other is a bar under the sports stadium in the city.

The latter we intend to open soon as Red Wings, a working sports bar, with a view to ensuring financial independence and security for us as a group going forward. It's been in the works for a while, will operate under the management of myself and [Bad username or site: clarke @ griffin], and we're looking for a staff.

We'll need bar staff and security for busier periods. We're aiming to create as much opportunity as possible, so if you're interested don't hold back on letting us know. There's no application, no bar work experience necessary, we'll just need to speak with you to figure out suitability and availability. If you're interested in a security position I need to stress that power use is absolutely out of bounds, so experience will be a little more important here.

If any of the more financially established of you can volunteer time or resources while we get this off the ground, that will also be appreciated. Any of you with significant Cooltalk followings, I'd like to talk about collaborating to help us hit the ground running.

Any questions, interest checks, etc, you can get in touch with me here or with Clarke or myself personally via direct message.

They were a hockey team from Detroit that won a lot of championships.

[Thank you future wikipedia.]

[evocation]

cheater
do you know what hockey is?

[strove]

A sport with surprisingly similar rules to soccer, without the latter being "field hockey."

On a shallow level.

I got lucky in that soccer is still a big deal here.

[evocation]

plus the dudes are huge and kick each others asses
that's important

[strove]

I thought that was the padding.

Is it not the padding?

[evocation]

it's the padding and the huge muscles
but the muscles are more interesting

[strove]

I see what you're getting at.

So, opposing point: soccer doesn't require padding. Thus: muscles. And you don't have to question their existence.

[evocation]

wait
are soccer players buff?

[strove]

Definitely. It's more of a leaner muscle due to the speed required for the sport, but they're definitely "buff."

[evocation]

with shorts, right?
okay
soccer wins

[strove]

And better representation of both men and women in the sport.

So, a win.

[rehandle]

Clarke knows.

[ hahaha ]

Great. You may end up training some others with less experience, would you be up for it?

[evocation]

she doesn't count
but sure why not
wait
do we still only get like 2 bucks an hour?

[rehandle]

We're figuring out rates but you'll make a decent living. And you'll get extra for taking on the training role.

[evocation]

[Music to her ears.]

sweet
sign me up

[rehandle]

Done and done. We'll be in touch when we have a staff list and a schedule set aside for training. You can message ahead and drop by if you'd like to see the place.

If you need anything in the meantime, you've got our contact.
