I've been thinking for a while, and I've seen that in almost all our stories, we talk about the BOS Headquarters. like in Tim's "Creature of the night", where he mentions the libraries of the brotherhood. Wouldn't it be nice to know just where the library of the brotherhood is, and how big and what furniture is in it. I was thinking, maybe I could draw a map of the entire BOS Base. We could use it for reference or write stories that take place in the BOS Base alone. I could draw it since I love doing architecture plans like those. But everybody has to tell me what rooms there should be and everything. Who thinks this is a good idea?

great idea!i always thought that the HQ was a giant cool looking futuristic buiding with teleporters to get to areas not in the building,like the Lunar Theatre or the Dartmouth Playground.TV Land should look like a giant room filled with TVs.not sure about the other places at the moment...

There must be a wing for each of the old members and then small wings (or maybe cubicals :  for the newer ones. The center wing would be similar to a large senate chamber or something and have a large domed tower. It'd be the main meating area of the BoS. Then there would be the Lunartorium (obviously the second biggest wing : ! And there has to be a gift shop. |

Great ideas people! But since obviously that everybody has a different idea of what HQ looks like, we might have to take polls or something. Also, some other things I need to know, where exactly is HQ? I mean like on what planet and what country and stuff. Also, How big should this place be? Like a castle, or a space station, or as big as the deathstar?

Oh, and, Mightysage. If indeed the HQ ends up with teleporters and futuristic technology like that, would you like to design them? Choose what powers it and what it looks like.

Okay, this is important. I'm going to make a wing for every serious member of the BOS, and room for the one's that really aren't. Here's a list of the members that get a wing
Ashton/
Bengl/
Fenrir/
George/
Gimpy/
True-Lies/
Tim/
Alex/
Mightysage/
Zoidberg/
Here's everybody that gets a room
Calum/
Oggelsby/
The one and only/
Dimitri/
Neil/
herscheemuffinhighpriest/
Anybody want me to change these lists or are they good?

I say that if every main member gets a large wing, too many'll have them. I'm not saying we don't all deserve them, but it'd get really complicated naming everything after us... As Gimpy said, each of the older members gets a large wing (that's True-lies, Gimpy, Mightysage, Bengl and myself). The other members get wings too, though Calum, Satinder, Oggelsby, The one and only, Dimitri, Neil and herscheemuffinhighpriest are not main enough members (or they're slaves like Neil and Oggelsby) so they only get rooms.
The members to get small wings are Fenrir, Tim, George, Zoidberg, Ashton and Butros.
The exterior of the building is (as Mightysage stated) is a great futuristic building, disguised as "Mr. Shrimpy's processed meats company HQ". The inside lobby has a large check in desk, above which is a TV which shows a video on processed meats with subliminal messaging. On occasions, the video changes to other things (in "How Mr. Shrimpy Solved a Moderate Problem!" a hostage tape of True-lies is shown). At the back of the lobby, there are several other ways to go. There are several senior staff elevators (for anybody with a wing named after them, activated by fingerprint analysis tests), public elevators (out-of-order) and slave elevators (for Neil, Oggelsby, etc.). There are no stairs (if you are trapped upstairs in a fire that the sprinkler system doesn't sort out, you can jump out of a window - all BOS members wear parachutes!). If we had stairs, people could come in off the street. The front door has a special cat flap for Shrimpy. Another way out of the lobby is down the corridor. This simply leads to a fake staffroom (when Jesse Ray and the Prat Parade attempted to invade, this was Rainbow warriors base of opperations).
Upstairs in simply an office building with the top floor housing offices for T-L, Shrimpy, Gimpy, Bengl, Mightysage and myself (only accessable via the senior staff elevators). The floor below houses the other offices. Below that (for quite a few floors) are the workers quarters (think "Dilbert"). Few people know that the majority of the BOS compound is actually below ground. The top half (the bit people can see) is actually a rocket that can be blasted off when at least 3 senior members link keycards at a special point. It can be blasted off with an enemy inside and lost in space (the building and workers are easily replaceable) as each office has a functional escape pod.
The gift shop is located above ground, too.
Below ground (after a few hundred floors of going down) there is a huge underground road which leads to many places accessable through other elevators located down there. There are weapons labs, the libraries, the courtrooms, all of the member wings, the teleportation tubes, the lunatorium, etc.
The road leads for miles out of the city in several directions to other above ground compounds (such as Area 52, the BOS alien storage zone) but the central hub is the processed meats building.
I may myself plot this today at school...

Okay, I always thought as HQ as kind of a harry potter castle looking place.

(in style of Hagrid) I don't know about that...
It's a big place but is disguised as corporate buildings (or at least used to be in the story "How Mr. Shrimpy solved a moderate problem"). I suppose one of the above ground facilities could be a castle, though...
How about we hold a competition? It can be Gameshow's first big event - design a HQ for the BOS! We'll vote on a winner and'll combine them all (obviously will be edited a lot) to create one big fantabulous HQ! We'll set a date soon, but for now, let's begin! Just open up paint and draw some lines to show where everything is!
Whadday'all think?

That sounds like a good plan. The thing was, I was kind of dissapointed about your decription of HQ as meat processing factory-looking place. I mean, it's like you want it to be a kind of building that is really secret. Like in "men in black", when they just go in that normal building but eventually get up to their cool HQ. I thought about that secret-thing too but I didn't like it. HQ to me was like a giant club-house almost, and it seems like Gimpy and Mightysage had the same idea as me. So yeah, lets all get a blue-print, and eventually combine all of them.

Also, here's another idea. How about the winner of the Gameshow thing be known as "The official BOS Architect", like Bengl is the "BOS Scout" or whatever.
