Bash Back! Starts setting up regular meetings in queer spaces throughout the cities they operate in. Never choosing the same place twice, and always giving a different but related description of what the event will be about, Bash Back! Is able to have plenty of meetings that look more like public speaker events, with long form question and answer segments. To those not in the know, when they realize what's going on, they usually become incredibly curious. With the recent news from California opening up a lot of these curious folks to the idea of anti-assimilation.
Very nice to see the average person is at the very least curious about radical ideas.

Er, maybe this will be a less messy format.
 
Hmm...if the Lime Wirers fold, which seems likely in the long run, hope they get pucked up and live on as a modifier for one of the bigger groups.
 
2008 Q3: Planning
The third quarter of 2008 arrives without much fanfare, but with some anxiety. The Truckers strike has blasted the bottom lines of many businesses, and factories are faltering across much of the country. President bush is being lambasted by the right for not stepping in and arresting the ringleaders of this threat to national security, and the 'left' is keeping quiet and not making any loud mouth movements about the action beyond hesitant support for "businesses and workers to cooperate for the welfare of the country as a whole" as one Democratic congressman put it.

Obamas Campaign has taken a small hit as some voters become fearful of "communists" becoming emboldened and destroying the precarious economy further, while also being given a small boost as previously politically neutral people see that change is possible if worker rights are not interfered with. Though the reason the Truckers strike was stopped so soon was due to factors outside the President's control. McCain's campaign rides the high of being able to blast out attack ads of how the communists want to destroy your livelihood by emptying the grocery store of its Grey Poupon.


Some actions are universal and can be included in any organization's plan, others are just for one. Funds are per turn, they don't stack. Any ?s are for you to write-in a number for that action. New actions as write-ins are encouraged to be suggested at any time.

When voting, put the organization acronym before the name of the plan like this:
[X][IWW] Plan do stuff

Universal Actions:

[] Require dues
--[] Small
--[] Medium
--[] Large
--[] Based on income
-[] Allow Non-monetary methods
-[] Allow delinquent members

More dues reduces membership but increases income. Allowing delinquent members offsets the membership decrease but you also get less income. Allowing Non-monetary methods allows your members to pay in forms like food, stolen software, or other types of material support, but doesn't translate well to funding for other activities.

[] Intra-org mutual aid building (0/?)

Building a mutual aid network for organizational members can help out an incredible amount. Needing 5 progress for each individual member, the network will help pay for things like rent, debt, food, and vehicle maintenance. If non-monetary methods of dues payment are allowed, then members will be able to directly give each other excess canned goods, man-hours for whatever skills they have, or spare materials for projects. Provides a boost to funds equivalent to the percentage of the org covered.

Once started, any spare funds left over from a turn will be dumped into the mutual aid organization.

[] Set up a bail fund for members ? Funds

In case any members get arrested and placed on bail, this fund can help get them out, and any excess can go towards court fees. Won't prevent members from losing their case, and sometimes a member will get a bail that's too large to realistically pay, but will help with most of the bullshit charges.

[] Manage online presence.
-[] Social Media Accounts: 2 funds, 0 per turn.
-[] Personal Website: 10 funds, -5 per turn.
-[] Mobile App: 100 funds, -10 per turn.

Making an online presence can increase recruitment and increase the effectiveness of other actions such as putting candidates up for election. Only use an action for initial creation.

[] Make a newspaper.
-[] Local: 15 funds, -2 per turn.
-[] National: 100 funds, -10 per turn.
-[] Many local across core region: 200 funds, -20 per turn.

Making newspapers can increase recruitment and increase the effectiveness of other actions such as putting candidates up for election. Their effectiveness for recruitment will decline over time, but their effect on ideological cohesion will never fade. Only use an action for initial creation.

[] Encourage and assist members in receiving martial arts training. ? Funds

While martial arts won't stop a bullet, it can stop a mugging or assault. Useful in a variety of ways, best of all keeping members fit and healthy, this will provide a background boost to certain actions.

[] Stockpile guns and ammo. ? funds.

To complete is members/100. Roll 1d20 per funds. Rolling completion, decays 5% per turn representing use and action never disappears.

[] Train street medics/stockpile IFAKs. ? Funds

Street medics and IFAKs can be the difference between life or death in certain situations. It's always good to have someone who knows first aid on hand at the very least.

[] Start a gun club. ? funds.

Less unsavory in the eyes of both the public and the law compared to a militia or self defense group. Teaches members the importance of gun safety and helps teach people how to acquire guns under modern laws.

[] Assemble a self defense group. ? funds.

Uses 5 "guns & ammo" progress per fund. Get 1d20 community members who can respond to violence upon themselves more meaningfully than an untrained civilian.

[] Train militia. ? cadres.

More "militarized" than a self defense group. Uses 1 funds and 10 "guns & ammo" progress per cadre. Get 1d20 trained militia per cadre.

[] Organize protests about ?

Gets your name out there for both bad and good. Doesn't do much otherwise. Write-in option.

[] Attack organization building of ?
-[] ? times.
-[] Claim credit.

Write-in, can be an OTL organization or one of the other player organizations. Costs 1 wealth per building attacked. Note if it's discovered you did it, or if you claim credit, there will be consequences.

[] Make a public campaign defaming a rival person or group.
-[] Spend ? funds.

[] Send agitators to publicly speak supporting your cause.
-[] Online Spaces. ? funds.
-[] On the streets of cities. ? funds.
-[] In the workplaces of cities. ? funds.
-[] To rural towns. ? funds.
-[] To the farmworkers. ? funds.
-[] At parties of the rich. ? funds, min 20.
-[] In the lobbies of politicians. ? Funds.

[] Keep up the pressure on Scientology, try digging up dirt on them and some mild infiltration both physical and digital.

[] Vet existing and new membership for infosec knowledge and kick out those that are a liability.

[] Improve the cybersecurity and quality of life of 4san, your digital meeting place for Anonymous. While improvements were made, more can always be refined.

[] Along with a "red vs. blue" digital wargame, the workshopping committee has proposed we expand the concept into meatspace. Most hacking that takes place is via the weakest link, the human operator. While Anonymous does not own any physical infrastructure outside of 4san's server to practice in-person social engineering, phone calls can be added to the wargames. Spoofing phone numbers is a simple matter and setting up numbers to call that aren't attached to any specific member is possible.

[] Two hacker conferences are taking place in the third quarter of 2008, HOPE and DEFCON. Anonymous has members who have gone to these events in the past, are white hat/grey hat hackers, and who have a trustworthy reputation. They will attend and send back the information they learn.

[] With members having a high likelihood of being in the tech industry, we can increase that likelihood by reaching out to their coworkers and recruiting them. This should ensure smoother operations against tech companies if it comes down to that.

[] While attacking organizations through electronic means is fun and all, to make it useful we should look up declassified (or maybe still classified…?) documents from the FBI and friends on how to break up organizations.
