all important rules and things Yeah. This stuff. Every place has this super important stuff you need to read. Even us. So, read it. Know it. Follow it. Or else we'll find you and send our best teams after you.
awesome announcements Just about as important as the stuff up above. The only difference is, this stuff is things such as, changes to the site you should look at, or the opening of a staff position. It's highly suggested you keep up with this stuff, too, just in case it affects you.
those questions and some answers Any questions about the site or suggestions on how to improve it should be placed here to be looked at and answered/commented on by staff and members. Guests are free to post here as well! Guest friendly!
say hello or wave goodbye Are you a new member, maybe? Would you like to say hello? Well, you can come do that in this board right here, if you like! I'm sure many of the members will stop by, drop a quick hello right back. Or were you planning going on a vacation for a bit? Well, you can post that here too, and just let us know so we don't label you as inactive or anything.
lovely applications To make a character, you fill out the form inside and post it in the board. A staff member will look it over and either ask you to change something or accept it and move it into the appropriate sub-board.
keep it all straight If you would like to keep track of your characters, you may make a topic here. Only one thread per player, please. You may organize it however you like and may post in the thread as much many times as you like.

make things interesting Got a plot idea that could encompass a bunch of people? Or maybe you just want a girlfriend for your new guy character? No matter how big your idea, feel free to put it in here and see if anyone is interested. Relationship trackers are to be put here as well.
journals Not everyone keeps a journal, not everyone wants to, but among those who do it is a long lasting Wicker tradition to sneak in rooms and write a note, sticking it between the covers, somewhere, and then it is up to that person to find who did it. If you go against school regulations and enter the dormitory of the other gender for this purpose? Well, that's just brownie points.

social networks Status updates, sharing of pictures and videos, finding old friends... The realm of the online social network is a vast realm of resources and sharing. The most notable include Facebook, Myspace and Twitter, obviously, but there's many more out there.
0
0
instant messengers Skype, MSN, YIM, AIM... The list goes on. They aren't available on the computers, but you can hook into the school's wifi with a laptop or desktop computer if you bring one with you and they won't stop you from using IMs, as long as you don't spill any secrets.
cellphones Everyone's got a cell these days, and the Wicker kids aren't any different. Sure, they're at spy school, but they've got to at least seem like normal students, and normal students have cellphones. Of course, recently, the CIA has been tracing all the cellphone calls and texts in an attempt to find the mole.

Wickervale Academy
School Grounds Wicker’s grounds are pretty vast. Around the school is a great stone wall with doorways hidden(and locked), and just inside these walls it is dense with trees and bushes, all of which contain traps and sensors and cameras meant to catch intruders(or escapees) before they get too far. Closer to the school, the grounds are open and well groomed, with gray stone pathways and a large fountain outside the main doors.
The Classrooms The classrooms look pretty much like regular classrooms. The desks are made of wood, coated in varnish and a dark stain to get them an elegant, classy look. Most of the classrooms have decorations and posters that make them appear to be a regular subject, like geography, even if they are not used for that purpose. All the classrooms that are unable to be disguised as regular classes are in The Underground, though those are few.
The Underground The Underground is hidden beneath the school. The stairwell used to get here is behind a scanner that scans irises and handprints, but is disguised as a mirror. If you have a class in The Underground, all you’ll have to do to get down there is place a hand on the mirror and keep your eyes open. When visitors come to the school, the scanner is shut down to avoid students using it to get to The Underground, keeping that secret safe.

Common Areas There are various common areas at Wicker. The foyer, the hallways, the library and the dining hall are all considered part of the common areas. They tend to be decorated with large paintings, tapestries, and things like that, giving the building an older feel, though the walls aren’t stone like an old castle. There are a great many secret passageways hidden, and it is like a game for the students to see how many
Wickervale Stables In order to keep up their appearance, Wicker has a stable built with a great many pastures. However, through the years it has gone from an empty place that attempts to look well used to a real stable, housing about fifteen horses that are shared among students with space for the students who have their own horses to bring them if they so wish.
Kerry House Kerry House is the dormitory for the girls of Wickervale Academy, found to the east of the main building with a covered hallway connecting the two buildings. Named after the founder of the school and an MI-6 legend, Joshua Kerry, the building was actually the first building to be finished during the building process. The outside is light gray stone with vines climbing the outside, but the inside has been refurbished to look rather modern. The dorm rooms spread around the outside of the building, fitting up to four students, with the common areas in a large space in the middle of each floor. The higher the floor, the nicer(and larger) the room, however there are no elevators, so it also means carrying your luggage all the way up multiple flights of stairs.

Sheridan House The Sheridan House is the guy’s dormitory building. It was named after the CIA director who supported Joshua Kerry in the building of the school, Amelia Sheridan. It has the same set up as the Kerry House, with a stone wall exterior, modern interior and four person rooms around the outside with the common areas of each floor in the middle. It is to the west of the main building and is also connected through a closed in hallway.

Colorado Springs
Shopping The students of Wicker are brought into town on a regular basis, both for mini test missions that test their skills without any real danger and for a little free time. The malls and stores of Colorado Springs provide perfect scenarios for both, as they are crowded and one of the few places the students can spend their money.

Dining Just because they go to a spy school doesn’t mean the students don’t have hormones and all that. They still end up dating within the student population, or dating someone they meet in Colorado Springs. The restaurants and cafes make for perfect date spots, though that’s not to say that’s all the students use them for. Birthday dinners and stuff are also pretty common.

Recreational There are countless recreational activities available for the students here, from bowling alleys to dance clubs specifically meant for underage teens with no alcohol available. The school will often host end of semester field trips to places like these in order to give the students some time to unwind just before the stressful exam period.

Memorial Hospital No one can avoid getting hurt forever, and whether it’s life threatening or just a fractured bone, students of Wicker, and just about everyone else, gets brought to the hospital. Of course, they could fly in medics, but it’s far easier to just come up with a cover story for the injury, particularly since most of the injuries pertain to regular, teenage activities, such as handling the horses or falling down a flight of stairs. Just because they’re training to be spies doesn’t mean they’re always graceful!

Everywhere Else Obviously there’s going to be a lot of places that get missed in generalization, so, naturally, there has to be a place for anything that doesn’t fit into another category to go. That’s here. A carnival coming to town? Well, you can go to that by posting here. For the most part, things should fit into the above categories, as they’re pretty broad, but don’t be worried if you have to end up posting here because you aren’t sure.
fun bits of chatter In short, anything that doesn't fit into the other categories can go here. Debates, sharing of pictures, rants, raves... Anything and everything. Use it. Abuse it. Just don't spam it, alright?

show off those skills Did you want a nice picture for your new character, or an avatar featuring your character? Well, you've come to the right spot; any sort of graphic request can be placed here and filled by whoever has a graphics program. Graphic designers can post up a topic for a graphics shop as well, if they like.

Welcome
Wickervale Academy is a private boarding school, but there's more to it than you see as an outsider. You see, Wicker is a school for spies. That's all fine and dandy, but they've got themselves a problem now. After years and years of secrecy, they've ended up with a leak, and they don't know who the leak is. All they know is they've got to find it before their security is more compromised than it already is. Willing to help? Then join up, it's sure to get interesting to say the least.
