Indigo Syndicate Portrayal TOS

The **Indigo Syndicate Portrayal TOS** is a bizarre legal guide on how the public should portray the Indigo Syndicate. A lot of this seems to be in response to the Resistance exposing them for their actions so they had to put "Guidelines" to put people in line. Some of these "Terms of service" guides are ones you'd expect from an organization trying to silence the opposition but then you get some really weird inclusions in this list.

## Portrayal Guide List

1. "Popeye Jr. should be written as 6'6. While an honest mistake, this height difference in media is an issue considering historically, the Popeye family has always been tall." - Anything to make him look intimidating seems to be a running thing with their propaganda.
2. "Nikolai Almuffs armor is Red. Blue mechanical armor is a sign of the enemy while Red armor is a sign of the mechanical enhancement Nikolai has." - Our Resistance members have to ask this: How many people do this to make it an issue for the Syndicate to take note of?
3. "No fascism portrayals. The Indigo Syndicate is always pro-equality, pro-love, and pro-freedom. This applies to demons propaganda. The Indigo Syndicate is all about freedom and equality."- Probably the least surprising thing they would add here. They seem aware of people spreading the truth so they had to post this.
4. "Popeye Jr.'s tie is Red, not Blue. There has been an unusual amount of media that portrays Popeye Jr's tie as blue instead of red. This is false and it upsets Popeye Jr. since the Red tie he has is the last thing his father gave to him before he sacrificed himself to defeat demon lord MikeNnemonic." - Again, how many people make his tie blue in media to warrant the Syndicate to whine about this?
5. "Do not simply refer to Dr. Eugene Krauser as just "Eugene". This has historically made him angry and he gets upset about media where he approves of being just called Eugene. Calling him Dr. Eugene Krauser, Krauser, or Dr. Krauser are fine. But not simply "Eugene". - Does he really get upset about this or does he just find this humorous to go along with it?
6. "Do not portray Popeye Jr. with a CalArts smile. Popeye Jr. detests CalArts and the bean-like CalArts smile and finds that art particularly offensive." - This may be one of the weirdest things here. But there must be some truth if he is upset about it.
7. "Skullface Jacks Sniper Rifle is a Barrett M82." - A what now?
8. "Every Holiday sanctioned by the RUC or Indigo Syndicate is referred to as an "Uber Holiday". People keep forgetting that's what they're called." - They're showing their ego here if they have sanctioned holidays and refer to them as "Uber Holidays".
9. "Lazlo Kicklighter uses Weather magic. He knows how to control the weather so his portrayals need him to use such." - Even Lazlo himself thinks this is a childs fantasy.
10. "Virals name is pronounced "vai-ruhl". Certain demons have been pronouncing his name as "Vee-rel". It's actually "Vai-ruhl"." - Who cares?

## Resistance comments

To other Resistance members, you can comment on any of these supposed TOS rules and explain why they may be here. Some are very obvious and some are bizarre. Any theories would be most appreciated.

"Oh cool a checklist. Anyways, time to draw Popeye Jr. with a brown tie." -Unnamed Justice Tower Resident

"If blue is the color of the enemy, how many of their own troops have they killed?" -Unnamed resident.

"On the third point, I don't think anyone in the right mind would ever claim they're fighting against freedom or for the sake of 'tyranny and oppression.' Everyone wants to believe they're fighting the good fight. I've seen plenty of fascists out there who like to go on about how they're fighting for 'freedom' or whatever, while they're tying woman and children to stakes and burning them alive. You know what fascists like to do? They like to claim they're fighting against some 'evil existential threat' and go on about the 'purity and goodness' of their own cause. That's what the likes of the RUC and Syndicate have been doing." - Unnamed Visitor to Justice Tower

"Eugene? Seriously? I don't think I ever saw that guy get upset at anything" - Unnamed Coalition A member.

"If you guys are for equality then redistribute your wealth asshole." - Unnamed Coalition A member.

"You know how the Republic's military and Intelligence Agency have their hands on popular media in order to ensure the most positive portrayals for their organizations? This reeks of that, but weirder and more petty." - Unnamed Coalition A member.

"... what the hell is a CalArts?" - Another unnamed Resident.
