GP had created Core Electronics and designed all the levels. Shockedfrog, ghost and I were in Core Electronics one night when Era had first started and were talking about potential businesses and came up with PPA, not sure which one of actually came up with it. The name actually came from JPA (Jinn's Protection Agency). Shockedfrog didn't stick around for very long. But yes we eventually had a group of leaders at "level 5" or something, Snerdly/TheGuy/PegLeg/Zach were all in the group of leaders. We would have council meetings as well as tryouts for players. It wasn't even meant to be an official business but just some roleplaying stuff we would do, like when they had the Police business and office.

I think TheGuy came around when we were on the radio show, I believe you had to run around Era naked with some weird name in order to get into PPA. This was in our original building, I don't remember who did the levels for that. It was very early on when PPA first started.

Era's main appealing points were the radio and the phones. We would take phone calls in the radio station and then have a radio show with two DJs. I don't think we ever actually protected anyone in the beginning. Eventually Zach turned it into a mega evil cooperation with a private island, and I think we even secretly changed the name of PPA to something evil.

But ya, shockedfrog, ghost and I were not too involved with PPA except for in the beginning, I only have like 100 hours on Era. So the true leaders are people like TheGuy/Snerdly who spent a lot more time developing it as an official business. The beginning of Era was one of the most fun times I had on Graal, the community reminded me of the start-up of Graal2001 as there wasn't much stuff to do but what we did have was something we had never seen before. It relied heavily on community.
