A New Solution for a New Age: join Awesome Corps today!
In the Genesis of ZZT, a company was the solution to many problems, giving a game a brand that would increase its visibility and help it to stand out amongst its competitors. It would also provide to its members a stable of fellow programmers that would be prime candidates for beta-testing and collaborations.
Rules for joining the new solution:
1) Don't be afraid of the grope. Embrace it.
2) Ask, don't tell.
3) Is that a crankshaft?
Conditions of maintenance:
1) Funding for game development will be provided, assuming that all projects are completed within 5 years of their beginning.
2) The cancellation process involves Ocelots. If you suspect that you may not finish a project, then keep that project to yourself and do not unveil it until it is likely to be completed. I don't want to have to spend money on an Ocelot because you were lazy.
3) You are your own best beta-tester. Be a careful coder and spellcheck like a motherfucker.
4) In open contradiction of the previous condition, expect that you shall be asked by fellow companions to beta test. This shall not be declined.
5) There may be a collaboration. Do not deny your fear, but embrace it. Draw strength from it, and act bravely in spite of it. The brave are scared too; only a madman knows no fear.
6) Take an art class. Mold a human body out of the clay. Replace the eyes with wangs and claim it art. Be creative and possibly homicidal.
7) You're fired.
8) Once you are the Vicar, you are the Vicar for life and cannot resign. The only way to become Vicar is to kill the current Vicar.
I hereby disband Awesome Corps. Thank you for applying.
Staff:
Zandor 12: Arch-Governor
Surlent: Secretary of Agriculture and of Cars that are also Robots
Schrödinger's Cat: Vicar
Nuero: Chancellor-Mayor
Aeris: Brigadier Vice-General Incarnate

Yes. Surlent is in too. I declare you both the Vicar. Since there can only be one Vicar, you shall have to sort this out amongst yourselves.
We need a better name though, for I already tire of what I now realize is a thinly veiled Futurama reference. A futuristic aristocracy such as our own should not have to rely on others for its awesomeness, so I am taking all suggestions for our new name and wading them up into a big ball that I can keep on my desk as a reminder to get to work on my Abstract Algebra assignment. The winning suggestion could appear in an actual Awesome Corps game!!!...!!!
I recommend the pokemon Ludicolo as our mascot as it is a Mexican Pineapple Duck and there is no part of that description that I do not like, but I shall leave it to a vote.

To resolve the issue of "Who should be Vicar"ness, I propose a duel Jazzy and myself.
A duel to the death, if you will.
A duel... of the bagpipes.
You know, just like the one they had in Mortal Kombat.

Wait is that a toaster that is also a penguin or a penguin that is also a toaster??? Either way it sounds pretty crazy!!
...also,
Edit: To end this dispute before the company is torn to shreds by sillyness, Surlent is hereby Vicar, with Schrodinger's Cat the Secretary of Agriculture. Although Schrodinger may not be dead, it would appear that his political career now is! Ho ho, but I kid; it's a wonderful position with plenty of room for advancement.
Also, I'm still taking suggestions for a better company name, and input on whether or not the pokemon Ludicolo would be a suitable mascot:
