Bay 12 Games Forum

Don't worry about it, I found the name amusing.

So close to Marvin.... (the paranoid android)
I find moonies funny too, considering that we got lunatic (loonies) from luna.

You guys are looking at this wrong. It is too much to get guns and try to defeat a entire countries military. It would be alot easier to stage a coup de`etat instead. Kill major government officials, take over, a voila! It worked for those guys in mali, so why not do it ourselves?

The most stylish way to take over a country.
Hell Yes.

Also: we need to choose a country with at least some useful resources.
When we take over a country, if we have good PR, we could take out a national debt.
I also suggest designing and building DORA MkII, as a long-term side project.

Subroutine XX6-PLX1 initiating startup procedures....
Installing Software....
Installation completed.
Deploying back up...
Back up deployed.
Startup Completed.

> I suggest that the AI be present in the meeting as well. speakers? Translator drones?
Also, veto use of marvens ((is that how you spell it?)) as ambassadors. Obsessive knowledge seekers = bad ambassadors.
> check data and memory banks for location of nuke / who can access. Make backup (nuke) if unknown. We haven't checked properly. Especially with defective memory banks.
> Make gifts for moonie ambassador. Also offer to trade tech / other stuff.

((ooc: this is brilliant! Kudos to everyone involved!))

I always thought we could first conquer a backwards african country, then start selling drugs and stuff while exploiting the locals.

Pros: Realistic, only needs weapons and plane tickets.
Cons: Those natives have guns too. And the UN will be angry with us, but even Assad doesn't care about that.

We could get some agents in the UN, have them booze up all of the other UN so they never judge us.

Better idea: Conquer some country ruled by horrible dictators that the US hates, then run it well. We'll get plenty of wealth and positive PR.

Perfect!

Wait, someone agrees with me?

It's a good idea. Gives us more time to truly decide what we're gonna do to Earth, as they'll like us.

Hoooray, slightly more realism!
So what country do we pick? I'd say someplace in the Congo - massacres there don't even get into the western news, much less on the front page.

What about Somalia?  It is total anarchy there, and if we establish an agreeable government that curbs the pirates in the area, we would be on good standing with the west.

Somalia was recently invaded by the african union, so no.

And of course, we would probably need a smaller country.  Rowanda?  Uganda?  Congo (not democratic republic)?

How about a small part of the DR Congo? Somewhere in the interior, with access to a major river for easy transport.

Well, how would we get there? Aren't most Bay12ers in the States?
Does anyone even speak the language they speak there, or know what it is without looking it up?

Valid point, but there are many overseas, but none near that area.  We need to find the greatest concentration before we make these plans.

So...who lives near or in an unstable country? And don't say, "Me! The US is kinda shaky right now!", you're not being funny.

Could liberate the island of Guadalupe north of Venezuela from the French.

That could be close enough, if we had some boats or something.

We could build some using fiberglass and wood.  Some of the boats at D-day were wood!

Or we could just buy some.

Keep the pyramid going!

Brilliant idea!
I would suggest a visit to the British Army disposal yard. I think it's in Lancashire.

Armoured cars, minesweepers, APCs, tanks, they even have aircraft!
No boats though.

And there is the problem of getting all of the stuff to the US to invade a French island.

I live in England, and some others probably do too.
We could meet up in wherever we choose to take over.

Brilliant idea!

*smacks self upside the head*

Jesus christ. Now were stuck between word association, and You are scavenger. So demeaning.

So, I've realized that we need to kickstart this program, now more then ever, and I belive the way to do that is fundraising. So, how can we accomplish thar?

I have some ideas:
1. Investment. We propose the Twelth Bay Lunar Resort to investors, heck, even get some people to pay in advance. This should boot-start the program until we begin making our own profits. Risks: getting laughed at by investors.
2. Sell stuff. Everyone sells everything to fund the program I take the money and runHa Ha good joke._{50-50 Misko?} Risks: not gathering enough money.
3. 'persuade' Bill Gates to change his will. Radical, risky, suspicious, profitable. Risks: a lot.
4. Hold Earth to ransom. Requires a SupaMegaMagmaKillCannon (or whatever we come up with), and to persuade the world that we would be crazy enough to destroy the planet with us on. They can hand over Earth or see it destroyed.  Risks: accidentally sitting on big red button, making everyone _really_ mad at us.
