Welcome to Placebo's website. Here you'll find everything you need to know about our operation. In fact, don't show this to anyone. We'd like to keep our activities from under certain radars if you know what I mean. Placebo is a private, literate neo-related guild. We're also pretty exclusive. I mean, do you think everybody gets to be part of the plan? Do us a favor though and make sure you read through this page carefully. Our lawyers are pretty particular about making our intentions perfectly clear. Something about lawsuits and cruel and unusual punishment. We weren't really paying a whole lot of attention. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask, although, we might hesitate to answer.

Rules

1. No rule-breaking: ironic, right? That this is the first rule? Just don't be dumb, okay? Follow the guild rules as well as any rules on Neopets.
2. Make quality posts: do not post one line sentences saying "hi, anyone here?" or something to that effect. Try to keep your posts at least four sentences
3. No spamming: refrain from posting three times in a row. I know it's wonderfully stimulating to carry on a conversation with yourself, but try to contain yourself!
4. Keep it classy: don't cause unnecessary drama. If you've got a problem with another member or with anything and you'd like help resolving it, neomail someone on Council and we will be happy to assist however we can.
5. Proofreading and spell check are your friends: we are a literate guild. We don't mind the occasional typo or spelling error (and we even don't mind people not using capitalization), but do try and keep our boards a sparkling display of wit, class, and correct grammar.

Ranks

• TEST SUBJECT
This is the rank you will have upon joining. We may require blood work, a signed confidentiality agreement, and a waiver stating that Placebo is not responsible for anything that may happen to you as a result of our experiments.
• LAB RAT
At least there will be less needles. So you've survived so far. That's actually a pretty decent accomplishment right there. You've been here two weeks and have posted at least ten messages.
• MORGUE TECH
Well, isn't this quaint? Great, you're moving up the ladder rather steadily! You've hung in there for a month and have posted one hundred messages.
• FAILED ATTEMPT
Oh dear. Not again. This might look like a bad thing, but as a result of our ministrations, we have to compensate you. I mean, you're quite special now. You've been here two months and have posted three hundred message.
• HUMAN SACRIFICE
You are the pinnacle of success! You've reached new heights. In fact, you're exactly what we hoped you'd be! You've proven yourself worthy and are a member of our sub-council.

Please be aware that these ranks are subject to change without warning. Do not be alarmed.

Council

The Bad Scientist - Rin
Rin is quite bad at everything. No one really knows how she came to be in charge of Placebo, actually. And most people are too afraid to question it. Anyway, as the Bad Scientist you can usually find her in a lab somewhere blowing things up and dropping deadly mixtures all over the place. She also tends to talk to herself so just be aware that if she is mumbling about human sacrifices, failed attempts, and the end of life as we know it, it doesn't have anything to do with you. Probably.

The Potions Master - Joey
Joey's a mixture of equal parts glee and chaos. As the Potions Master, you can usually find her in the dark dank dungeons beneath Placebo Headquarters, brewing up something spectacular. Even her failures are spectacular as you may have noticed from the various holes and stained walls around the place. When she does come upstairs to join the other members of Placebo, you will find her to be rather... eccentric. Also, don't mind the smell; she's quite sensitive about it.

* We will announce whenever we are looking for people to join Council or sub-council. Just make sure you know what you're signing up for if you apply...

So this is what our mysterious interior looks like. We've hired a pretty reasonable decorator and they really liven up the place. Drag and drop into your address bar to get a closer look.

Application

We do require an application to join. There are two ways to apply. The first is by filling out the form below and neomailing it to anyone on Council or a member of the staff. The second way is by dropping in on one of our advertising boards and asking for an interview. Please be aware that we are not always there all the time. And that if you ask for an interview, we may ask you different questions than those on the application.

Name or Alias:
Age (if you feel comfortable):
Timezone:
Things that make you curious:
Things that make you *headdesk*:
Do you think Grundos make good test subjects? Why? Why not?
You have one sentence to convince me you are not an undercover agent. Go!
Do you have any plans for world domination or thoughts of usurpation?
Why do you want to join? You DID read the fine print, yes?

Goodbye!

Well, you've made it to the end. We hope you enjoy reading through our material and we look forward to hearing from you soon. If you have any questions about what you've read or seen here, you can always shoot a neomail to any member of Council or sub-council and they will be happy to assist you. Now if you'll just look here for a second, we'd like to give you one final test. *flash* Ah, much better. Now you won't remember a thing. :)
