These are the rules and requirements of enlistement.
Requirements for Enlisting with the Mikado Corps
1. You must at least possess basic perception skills. For example, you must be able to remember something that you saw maybe days, weeks, or even months ago. What you remember should be for the advancement of the good of your peers, yourself, and for the good of the Mikado... so listen and watch well.
2. All Entry-Level candidates should download/purchase/own the following programs/products:
mIRC
Half Life: Counterstrike
Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 2

If you don't own some of these, that's okay. That just means you won't be able to participate in some of the more interesting features of the Mikado.
