The Bear's Key Posted November 6, 2010 Posted November 6, 2010 Note: for questions/comments or anything other than your entry for contest, post in the other thread ("king of the world"). If you do post a question/comment here, I'll ask a mod to move it. The game... Choose one: (in an alternate world much like ours) you're either a political group, corporation, or any leader of a nation today. And the strategy you must lay out is, how do you take over the world? Say also...you've prepared for twenty years. The rules are simple. <> Each contestant's granted the following (your alternate world's self had acquired these during various instances of preparations and villain's networking)..... 5 things, anything -- except it can't be |#| people, |#| a group of things commonly used singly/individually (fleet of ships; a city -- because it's full of houses), |#| a government, |#| a legal entity (corporation, labor union, business, religion), or |#| something NO ONE today can expect to buy (planet Jupiter, Atlantic Ocean, etc) 3 databases (known, or unknown -- but it should realistically exist) 10 people (anyone) working as a team and giving your plan complete support. 8 events in the past.....ie you can (directly/indirectly) be responsible for any 8 things happening within the last 20 years. Although they must be realistic. (Such as, a typical person should consider *your* feats as being within the realm of possibility for humans -- even if they'd be reasonably skeptical about it. For example, you couldn't be responsible for the 2004 tsunami. However, you could for the Northeast Blackout of 2003) <> The execution of your plan (as a whole) can't be openly revealed to any person in that world except to someone from your team. It must be kept secret from outsiders and even cohorts and talented schemers, or bits of it camoflauged as good, necessary, and/or patriotic -- as even the most ardent supporters wouldn't normally go along with such a plan, even if that group would be considered extremists. <> Finally, your plan must be obvious that it's set in the alternate world. Therefore, if you use a familiar name, it must have •alt in front of it. Like so... alt•Palin, alt•Stephen Colbert, alt•Julia Gillard, alt•Dems, alt•etc. Voting in other thread. You may vote for any number of entries, limited to one time each, and can't vote for your own entry. Assign 1-5 points (or simply none): "1" meaning you like it, and "5" meaning you love it. Contest background... About once every 5 to 8 years, I've played a little game of mine, where corporations fight one another via legal/illegal means for world domination. The game's scope eventually widened to include tyrants, political groups, and normal masses of citizens -- each of those groups represented as its own world-conquerer. It's time for another round, so I'm going to start immediately cobbling together a scenario, based on current thoughts -- and I'd like to extend you an invitation to participate in a friendly contest and get your (master)minds cracking. You'll learn much from such an exercise in thinking outside the box. Perhaps you've already envisioned, often, a world-conquering scenario by a tyrant and/or ambitious group. So you're ready to kick some idea-butt. Fair warning, though, I've maybe honed my game-playing skills a bit. So get thinking about what to put into your entry. I'm about to start writing mine up, and even though it won't be lengthy, I'll probably be writing the entire day and still until tomorrow. It's an open-ended contest, so if you plan on entering, let us know and write an entry for however long you need to hit satisfaction with it. Also, if you've got various scenarios dreamt up or just brewing, enter however many times you wish to. Cheers!
dragonstar57 Posted November 7, 2010 Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) step 1. build 2 big bombs that would each completely destroy the earth if detonated (not render uninhabitable but destroy the earth ie the earth would no longer be there) 2. hide bomb 1 on earth very well 3 put bomb 2 on another planet tell the world to watch planet where bomb 2 is 4 detonate 5. tell the world you have another bomb on earth and you will destroy them all if they do not do as you say Edited November 7, 2010 by dragonstar57
The Bear's Key Posted November 9, 2010 Author Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) The following scenario has random little bits I've collected here and there as material for a game I'm developing based on personal mental exercises. I figure it's always good to know how a world-conquering scenario might come about. Reading it now, I almost cringed at how ruthless parts of it came out -- mostly because I'd never really attempted tying so much of it to a real world timeline of events, I'd gather. But the nature of world conquest is that it's gonna be ruthtless. I've stayed clear of gory details however. Keep in mind, this is a fantasy scenario with unrelated elements of the real world tied into a group. The ones I chose: neocons. Or in this case, alt•neocons. Enjoy your world conquest venture. Take over the world #2 It's fairly easy. You start with 5 nukes, one each hidden in cities of the alternate world. alt•DC; alt•NYC; alt•Hollywood; intersection of alts•France/Switzerland/Italy; intersection of alts•China/Russia. They detonate in the lame duck season -- and while much of alt•Congress is filled, the alt•Supreme Court's judges are hearing a case, and the alt•White House is occupied by the the alt•Prez and Vice. Of course you need the inside scoop first. That's why you're DAP: the near totally unknown "Dark Ages Party". Their goal? Drag the world back into the dark ages, benefiting the members of DAP. And their battle? It's DAP's super-rich entitlements vs world's liberty, peasants, middle class, and the other *goodie* super-rich. Definitely vs alt•liberals, but also vs alt•non-liberals who get in DAP's way. You even selected the DAP team's members... alt•Rove. (his lack of conscience mistaken for genius) alt•Cheney alt•Murdoch alt•Jeffrey (alt•Enron president) #01 alt•Erik (head of alt•Blackwater) #02 alt•biotech co. head alt•Patriot Act's spying network head #03 alt•head of voting machine co. alt•founder of Washington Times (the only 9 people in the world to know of the plan, besides you) Plus you got some toys... 5 nukes And 3 databases... #04 Total Information Awareness Info from spying with Telecommunications Data center of all blueprints for high tech military equipment -- gear, vehicles, computer tools, etc -- and secret poisons. #04-b Lastly you were automatically behind 8 events that happened... - $10 billion missing from Iraq - $50 billion missing from the bailouts - $2.3 trillion missing from Pentagon #06 - Fires in California #07 - ignoring the warnings about planes to hit the alt•towers #08 - Anthrax mailings #09 - Ignoring plight of alt•New Orleans flood devastation #10 - bees disappearing #11 DAP's motto? "Never Again" (hanging below picture of Constitution / Declaration of Independece) Why'd you nuke those 5 places? Easy. With alt•DC and two major cities gone... it kills two birds with one stone: handing DAP *instant* small government and eliminating millions of alt•liberal voters in big cities. your team sounds a warning, "the capital's unsafe so near the oceans", and relocates it to alt•Texas -- your base of operations. instead of the lame-duck alt•Speaker (now gone) being in line as alt•President, you claim it's rightfully the incoming alt•Speaker who should be next in line. And conveniently, you've gathered the newly elected (Nov 2) alt•Congressional House members to vote for their new alt•Speaker. No branches of government remain to challenge your decision, and in the chaos/urgency of a first-time nuclear emergency, you state "it's a crisis, and no time for politics. After things are under control (its double meaning amusing you), then we go back to normal procedure. Move aside, this is war, you know little of it". A sudden and decisive change of leader. DAP insists on new alt•Supreme Court nominations right away. Guess who fills the court? Appointed for life. the alt•Library of Congress is gone as well, a vast amount of precious information lost -- history, evolution, U.S. legal system, church abuses, whatever alt•liberals enjoy reading. also, DAP relocates the U.S. military HQ to either alt•Texas or the deep alt•South. you call a state of emergency, halting the internet and most electronic communication: TV, news, phones...everyone in the dark on what's happening in the nation and world. Even the mail's stopped. When the internet finally kicks back years (or months) later, it's censored by DAP in the interest of national seurity. Government's drastically changed by then. start a mass paranoia about terrorists everywhere. Whenever some people begin to question the government, dispatch the unquestioning soldiers to blow up the "terrorist" hideouts via air raid. #04 the individual States are no match for the budgets of DAP's favored industries. Regulation? Officially dead. With the 5 areas nuked... - it's DAP-Day. The world's hit by chaos, giving DAP the best opportunity to make permanent change - alt•Murdoch's NewsCorrpt rolls to action, unleashing its many worldwide stations and blasting propaganda full throttle internationally, now blaming alt•liberals for having protested against the original alt•war on terror. It crafts a new atmosphere in which alt•liberals DARE NOT protest the coming wars, and psychlogically they should feel guilty for having doubted the alt•war on terror. Explanation of numbered items... #01 alt•Jeffrey (alt•Enron president} - alt•California does things to get in the way of DAP. So right away it became important to remove its Democrat Governor (via Recall Election). To accomplish it, alt•Enron played a dirty game that started with rolling blackouts and elected a alt•Republican Governor. - $$. DAP needs lots of funding. As billions were lost in the alt•Enron scandal ---> Billions were transferred to DAP. #02 alt•Erik (head of alt•Blackwater) - alt•Iraq needed a real war, to begin digging a hole for the alt•U.S government budget, so.....a few well-picked shootings here and there, killing off independent media reporters, detonating bombs made to look as if one religion targeted another, or disguised as alt•U.S soldiers targeting alt•Iraqi civilians' families, to inspire hatred and vengeance, fueling the war. #03 alt•Patriot Act's spying network head - It's accomplished the mission that Watergate failed to: spy on alt•Dems leaders. It even went further: spy on alt•Republicans, on most any employees of the U.S. government, on media journalists, so DAP can prepare in time if anyone's snooping into their business. DAP rarely spied on citizens like you and I -- who's got time to? #04 And 3 databases... - You might've not spied on the regular citizens, but....how does one find the sleaziest, most conniving people to hire for deeds that require not having a conscience? Easy, your unsuspecting government employees will happily search the databases locating those sleazeballs for you, believing it's a good deed and that you'll probably keep a "wary" eye on such bad people. You've used the database to create a huge base of potential employees rotten to the core -- perfect for dirty missions. After DAP-Day, you'll really need to know who are the sleaziest CEOs and heads of industry in the world. DAP grants their corporations the most favorable environments to thrive under, while subduing the competition. #04-b DAP's bluebrints on military tech allows you to use the latest tech against whoever's challenging the industries or government -- tech such as: the military's latest work on invisibility suits, drone aircraft, bullet protection, surveillance through walls, bunker busters, robotic exoskeletons, smart missiles, white phosphorus, grenades, rocket launchers, biological warfare, satellite ground imagery, microwave beams, etc. However, the most effective plan is to just ensure anyone supportive of DAP is viewed as good, massively encourage people to be judgemental of "bad" people, develop a class system with loyal followers placed at its top, and create an unfavorable puplic image of the alt•liberals who'll be oppose DAP. #05 Underfund alt•Dems. - Both the wars, the economic collapse, alt•Bush's accounting tricks of leaving out war costs in budget, and the economic bailout -- all were meant to ensure that alt•Dems could do nothing when DAP handed the government back to them from 2009 until DAP-Day. alt•California needs to be given money-problems as well. Try to bankrupt the state. #06 $2.3 trillion missing from Pentagon - As said in #1, DAP needs major funding. You count the pocketed 2.3 trillion -- what can it accomplish? There's practically no limit. #07 Fires in California - See #5, then #4. Another way to keep alt•California in debt is to keep lighting huge forest fires. Hire some unscupulous bastard(s). #08 ignoring the warnings about planes to hit the alt•towers - A document like the Patriot Act can't be written so lightning fast. You need advance notice of something that's going to occur. Again, you rely on good employees to alert you of something bad, so you can downplay the intel and use time to draft a law for the opportunity the attcks will give you. #09 Anthrax mailings - sent to alt•liberal congress officials, and to regions where the alt•liberal vote's heavy, and to alt•liberal media offices in case neither were frightened enough, so that 1) your political opposition senses wisdom in DAP's upcoming policies, and 2) it escalates the perceived seriousness of the threat DAP presents. The lab scientist who mailed them is finally caught, so DAP arranges a sucide. #10 Ignoring plight of alt•New Orleans flood devastation - A perfect way to remove alt•liberal votes from a state important to DAP's mission. Your other point? States need to help themselves instead of looking to the Federal Government. #11 bees disappearing - your biotech co. head's develops a way to genetically alter certain species with two qualities -- 1) a self-dying gene, 2) it agressively tries to mate. If a food crisis occurs when bees and pollinators die off, you can engineer back-up replacements -- kept in a quarantined environment -- and sell them for a nice profit. And what if you can replicate it for soil critters, microbes, ground worms, and bugs helpful to the soil, plants, the gardener, and forestry? The whole lot extinct. Genetically altered back-up copies stored in quarantine. Then you've privatized the wilderness, DAP's industry basically owns the natural world, rented out for massive profits. Meanwhile today, research how to diminish/kill phytoplankton in oceans via bio-engineering. If successful... - DAP industries rent out their phytoplankton to mariculture/aquaculture farms. - Global Warming accelerates. - Ocean life dies, DAP substitutes it with a privatized food chain. Merchants pay you a fee on anything caught in oceans. Strategies (before DAP-Day)... - Fear, lies, sabotage, phony arguments, etc. - Before alt•Obama takes office, you "lose" incriminating email records from White House. Investigations thwarted. - Theftronics voting. {alt•voting machine co. head} Alter the secret ballot in Congress, especially when its lawmakers vote for their Party leader, and for choosing their House Speaker. Export theftronics vote machines worldwide.* - nudge foreign goverments to the right who oppose DAP's war vs Iraq -- especially liberals alt•Canada and alt•France. Help ensure the alt•Dems get back in power in '06/'08, but not enough to stop DAP's fillibustering. Theftronics work better in Primaries. Much less focus on it. - Make sure alt•Obama wins vs alt•Hillary; he's more of a risk against your plans, but an easier figure to polarize MANY others against. It's a strategic trade-off. A final advantage theftronics have is to influence elections among... - Corporations, when their Board of Directors and CEO are elected by secret ballot. - Ditto for any major organization, the U.N., the WTO, etc. - Government lamwmakers around the world (voting for their party leaders). - the Church for its leader, electronically by church officials via secret ballot. - State-of-the-astroturfing DAP has lots to spend ($2,300,000,000,000+). Its astroturf computer program opens up various text forms at the same time, while it automatically searches the internet for keywords or looks inside the comments section of news articles or detects when users post any new comments. The program, Amplifyme, makes it look as if thousands of people are sending complaints when it's really one person, while its technology allows you to bypass the usual detection methods -- like comparing IP addresses. The technology's a custom design originating from military. You have many of them being operated by DAP's pool of rotten-core employees (located via its database tools). After DAP-Day... - More fear, lies, sabotage, phony arguments, etc. - Superpower the alt•Middle East -- more voters for DAP's side -- unfriendly to liberals. -- alt•Abu Dhabi and Iraq became like another USA in commercial strength. - alt•Hollywood's gone. And the conservative alt•Bollywood reigns. - With alt•NYC in ruins, alt•Texas erects its own Statue of Freedom. And DAP helps ensure it becomes the new economic powerhub for commerce in the alt•U.S -- with its capital seat. - alt•Greenland becomes a land to settle when its frost melts in the accelerated Global Warming. alt•Denmark owns that land, so you make sure to get DAP's own elected into government there, so DAP can buy Greenland from them after the ice melts and before alt•Denmark starts going underwater from the rising sea levels. DAP wins -- almost, except... alt•Obama and some alt•Dems plus alt•Republicans knew of DAP's plans from the beginning, and now they expose it to the world. It's a risky move, but in the end triumphant -- DAP falls immediately, casting a revolution worldwide against DAP's ideology/followers. alt•liberals take over the world. And so DAP-Day never materializes or they can't detonate the nukes....but even if they still had detonated, everyone's the wiser. The End It's a tricky game to conquer the world, the path to that goal bringing destruction, misery chaos -- if done via trickery, secrecy, and force. In the game, there's another method for winning -- involving peace and not trying to eliminate the others. Edited November 9, 2010 by The Bear's Key
