Though it was a PPCer who ran the board, the RP itself was hosted on Proboards, and open to anyone for application. Hers was at least the second* idea of a "Mary Sue Academy," but I don't know how comfortable I would be with the idea of continuing the RP, or picking it back up, since she's left fairly permanently.

*I started a story ages back that was about a pair of girls escaping from a Stue academy that more resembled hS's Sue Factories, but it got abandoned. There've probably been others as well, but I'm not hugely familiar with them.

*Cracks knuckles* Okay, here's the lowdown.

Visually speaking, the only thing that distinguishes Intel agents from the rest of the group would be their flash patches. When on duty, they're usually wearing a canon-appropriate disguise and acting like a background character (if background characters have a tendency to follow a Suvian around while making gagging noises and swallowing copious amounts of Bleeprin, that is).

As for my own headcanon, Intel agents are often quite discreet, meaning that you have to actively look for them in a crowd. It's a habit formed from actively hiding from Suvians, monsters, and canons, wot. They also tend to have more self-restraint than other agents, given the fact that Spies are forbidden to muck with the Suvian when on an Intel run.

Colour teams are just a method of organizing Spies, so no armbands or anything. They are randomly plonked into a team by the Department of Personnel.

There are three duties to perform in Intelligence: sorting badfic in the Sorting Room, assigning fics to agent teams (done from a Spy's own RC), and Action duty (where the Spy goes to a cubicle in the Action Room and waits to be assigned a fic to investigate). There are six teams in Intel, and each is rotated in and out of each duty on a daily basis.

The cycle consists of four straight days of Sorting, one day of Assignment, and one day of Action before the cycle repeats.

Infrastructure agents work in shifts, so there is a "nine-to-five" feel to their job than Action Department agents who are "on call" 24/7 (or whatever time distortion HQ uses). Each colour team has a day shift and a night shift so that an entire team just doesn't walk out at the same time.

As for your last question, most Intel divisions were rendered obsolete with the shift to the colour-team system. Technically speaking, the only divisions that are left would be the DoI's administrative staff and the folks down at the supply depot that's connected to the Hub.

I hope this helps! Don't hesitate to ask more questions, I can go on forever about Intel n'stuff.

The times of the various RPGs do happen regularly - just with a unit of time measured only on a planet orbiting a massive plothole, so time gets a bit wibbly-wobbly there.

In seriousness, they basically pop up whenever someone has an idea. I'd suggest poking the IRC to check for interest or posting on the Board before starting the game proper, but other than that there's not really anything.

There aren't any set times for them, nor set topics. If you have an RP idea, I'd suggest broaching it to the Board in general, say, a day or so before you start it, just to let people know and figure out if they want to join. Also, Board RPs are odd beasts when it comes to general PPC canon. For example, the most recent one with the Blackout/Meatloaf Monster named Slorp has actually been integrated into several Agents' personal canons, so I think it's been generally accepted as a Thing That Happened. Not all RPs are, though.

Oh, and if you have any non-PPC-related RP wants/needs, feel free to ask. I personally do a lot of Supernatural-based RPs myself, but I'm sure there are people who would be willing to do other fandoms as well.
