First, get your gear in order.

Masters of espionage or gun happy psychos with no regard for the law or human life.

We get it, you liked a movie. It has been 4 years, give it a rest.

Calm down hothead and enjoy the m e m e s
>>46643450
Eh. You join the CIA to be part of the foreign policy arm of the US. They'll figure out what you're good at and assign you accordingly. Logistics, Intel gathering, intel processing, internal security, etc.
Some assignments are more exciting than others...
>>46643509
Whats funny about this?
>>46643522
Keep moving, hothead, this is bane country
>>46643428
Fool, you cannot even meme correctly, for he was not merely an agent of CIA, he was THE CIA.
Do you not remember?
"Dr. Pavel, I'm CIA".
He was the big guy who controlled the entire agency, who had a master plan to remove all of the hotheads from the country.
He crashed the planes during the 9/11 incident with no survivors to pass the Patriot Act, and when asked by the media whether America is involved in the 9/11 incident and why did the planes crash, he merely answered "They didn't fly so good."
Do not underestimate the CIA. He won't let you bring friends.
It's all about charisma. You might need to be able to fool people into think you shot a man and threw him out of a plane, for example.
Basically somewhere between James Bond and Delta Force.

Was trolling /tg/ part of your plan?
>>46643442
Then, you have to assume the proper position. This is very important.

Came here to post this. Not disappointed.
Make sure to get promoted
It would be quite the feather in my cap
And remember that you're in charge here
>>46643428
First off, they don't refer to it as "the" CIA. They just call it CIA.
>>46645894
They call it the Company
>>46643428
Play John McAfee. Not a perfect fit but could fit. You can play a security savant with a nasty drug habit, you left (or were forced to leave) the agency and exiled yourself to Belize. CIA needs a top guy like you to crack whatever case they are on
>>46645989
or the Agency

/tv/ is dumb, /tv/ is cancer. All of you are dumb, all of you are cancer.

It's funny to dumb cancerous /tv/ posters because they're dumb hipsters who think that being unfunny ironically is funny.
>>46643663
This is probably the worst post on 4chan right now.
>>46643428
Take Cultural Focus: Aegean Sea.
Literally not different in any way whatsoever from your standard murderhobo, other than frequently proclaiming/screaming "I'm with the government!" after doing things considered unacceptable or illegal.
At least, that's how I had fun playing a CIA agent.
>>46643428
Act like you know everything that's going on, act like you're very dangerous, accidentally give out too much classified information to the first pretty woman that touches your no-no place.
>>46651191
>accidentally give out too much classified information to the first pretty woman that touches your no-no place
>no-no place
You mean the place where I keep all of my forged documents? Why would I let a pretty woman anywhere near that?
>>46651375
Because you're CIA, duh. You always let pretty ladies near highly sensitive classified documents. Didn't your read the handbook?
>>46651460
>Didn't your read the handbook?
Uh, no? What does it say?
>>46643522
it's NOT funny - for you

Flightplans. You have to be really, really good at making Flightplans.
>>46645894
>They just call it CIA.
No, that's what they call themselves individually
>>46643494
>liked a movie
Here's a secret that many baneposters today don't know. It started as mocking criticism for the movie in general and everything wrong with the Nolan Batman films.
>>46654494
Batman Begins is a rejected script for the '89 movie. They started bad, they ended bad. Dark Knight was pure luck.
>>46643428
all you gotta do is fuck with third world nations, not that hard.
>>46643428
>>46654494
Speak of the devil and he shall appear. That WAS our plan - we were born in it, molded by it. But you do not fear that movie anymore - your punishment must be more severe. Torture? Yes, but not of your body...of your soul.
Our plan is proceeding as expected.
We are 'necessary' evil.
>>46643428
depends entirelly, on your assigment.
you could be a hacker that was caught by the cia and forced to work.
maybe a spec ops soldier ,
>>46648901
no this one is.
there is nothing wrong with playing pretend on a unlit basement, with five neckbeards
They aren't called agents first of all. They're called Case Officers, or these days Core Collection. CIA Case Officers have been described as having a particular type: they aren't typically models, but aren't bad looking, they tend to be disarmingly easy to talk to, they are simultaneously voyeuristic and highly jealous of their own privacy, they're often financially enterprising, and typically have a lot more empathy for the foreign culture that they're infiltrating than the average American. Typically they're from families that were associated with either the CIA or with the military from before the CIA was formed. Sometimes they're from diplomatic families.
Case Officers lie, but their lies have to be from a place that is authentic. As a rule they tend to operate most often under official cover with a diplomatic visa, granting them diplomatic immunity so that they aren't subject to arrest for espionage. The best of them don't use official cover because diplomat/spies are a classic trick and embassy personnel are closely monitored by counterintelligence for signs that they might be spies. Those are called NOCs.
Among the techniques that they use are elicitation, which is getting people to tell you things without knowing that you are asking. Common strategy is MICE, where they recruit sources through money, ideology, compromise ("I have the photographs" "You've been embezzling funds" etc), and/or ego.
Whatever you think spies do is probably inaccurate.
>>46655005
Agents need to be good listeners, I assume? The whole mission is gathering intelligence, so if an agent is talking, they're not learning anything. What's the best way to break ice with a new target? Say how much you like their hat? What's the process from normal conversation to actual intelligence gathering?
>>46655611
>Agents
Agents are the people that they recruit. They don't gather intelligence, they recruit what are basically informants.
>>46655697
Sorry for the poor terminology.
Let's assume I'm James Bond. I'm attending a large black-tie occasion full of diplomats who may or may not be drinking heavily. My mission is to buddy up to the ambassador of JustMadeUppenburg and find out if his government has a role, if any, in recent reports of human trafficking/bioweapons/whatever. He doesn't know who I am, or who I represent. Where do I start?
>>46656114
No. You don't pick the ambassador because the fucking ambassador has status, money, and influence that he isn't going to willingly betray his own government and risk treason barring something major going on behind the scenes.
You might start doing your laundry at the same place as the embassy clerk, and after feeling him out for an extended period of time and developing some sort of relationship you offer him money in exchange for access to copies of the same classified documents that the ambassador has.
You might just pick up on a diplomat who has been embezzling. Bet their paycheck at a local casino, then dipped into some funds to go bet more. She didn't win. You have a carrot in the form of money to replace those funds to offer her. You have a stick in the form of tipping off her superiors to the embezzlement and gambling problem.
If you REALLY, REALLY have to try to hit up the fucking ambassador? You get him/her drunk and hope that they let something slip while you chat them up and try to get them to elicit something. Alternately you mic up their hotel room and listen in there, because politicians love to talk.
>>46656529
So you're saying the movies simplified things?I shoulda known.
Sounds like a complicated phishing scheme.
>Want information about Ambassabor X
>Find out Ambassador X likes to get buff
>Stalk local gym
>Talk to other gym-goers/personal trainers
>Let them tell you everything Ambassador X has told them, because he can't keep his mouth shut around people he thinks are 'powerless' to use the information
>>46656802
Something like that. You might go as far as to become Ambassador X's gym buddy though. Or you might recruit his mistress to pass on pillow talk to you.
Thirdly, acquire the right music
Lotta memes for a shit thread
>>46656896
>Or you might recruit his mistress to pass on pillow talk to you.
Something tells me this is common at upper echelons of government (but stops before the President, because that wouldbe a PR nightmare)
>>46657816
It's how business is done. You're spying on them, they're spying on you, but you also have double agents, triple agents, "dangles" you offer for them to recruit who are planted to be double agents, deep cover moles, official cover case officers, NOC case officers, and even more shit involved you couldn't even guess at. You have to be high up to even have enough info to kind of maybe understand what's actually going on.
>>46658386
I meant the 'mistresses' part, lol.
>Turn in info to questgiver
>Two other agents return different information
>Wonder if you truly passed your Gather Information/Diplomacy rolls or if the other two are traitors
This could get real complex real quick
>>46658448
You now know of the clusterfuck that CIA Analysts cope with. Starting pay is 55-75kish last time I checked.

Can I use you as a reference?
>>46658685
Kek. No, I have too many issues with authority to be CIA material.

then you have to comment on how someone's a big guy and wears a mask and asking if getting caught was part of his plan.
