Well, may as well see how this goes. I don't mind either Corp or Crim winning.

I cannot think of an Archaic idea that fits, And while i don't mind Corporate, Criminal fits better

And maybe we will get some legitimate businesses eventually, but right now we don't have the resources, the product, or quite frankly the character for it.

Good point. If anything, this is the exact headspace for turning to outright Crime. Destructiveness, desperation, and despair!

Can I still hear it? I'm open to input.
We made our nasty-crime bed, time to lay in it like good nasty-crime boys/girls/TheOtherThings.

Oh it was something like selling personal defence tools, home defence items, and direct private security. We have the factory, we have baseball bats, there are plenty of people willing to beat people up for money (maybe more if we acquire the Sharks), and it might synergize with Nook if he's open to some cooperation. Surely he could see the potential in making sure his homes and his tenants are safe?
Edit: I don't mind criminal, but I also like the positive reputation and stewardship boosts from the Corp.

I kinda like the totally legit sports club idea.

Honestly just being something new or in this case old trying to survive in the present day or corps and crime is attractive in its own right to me.

Okay, so I have two reasons to vote this. One good and one bad.
The first reason is that, in most of the 8-Bit Dystopia and similar Quests, the protagonist faction primarily acts outside the law and I would like to try something different. This is a bad argument because none of those Quests are Bound to Earth and thus don't actually matter here, but it is part of my reasoning.
The second reason is that I kinda, sorta... Really like the idea of a Sports League secretly being the frontline protecting the world against an alien invasion? Like, it sounds like the premise of a children's cartoon from the same time period from which 8-Bit Dystopia takes its inspiration from. And yes, I get that we could easily start our own league as a criminal organisation, but there's a difference a heroic crime org keeping a sports league as a shell and the sports league itself fighting the aliens, you know?
Anyways, it's not too important. I am not going to break down crying when I log on tomorrow and Criminal has won. It is a very obvious and thematic choice for C.D.*, I get why people are voting for it. And that's not counting the fact that going Criminal is also the best option when it comes to recruiting heroes, which is one of the most appealing things to do from both a crunch and flavour perspective.
Sometimes you just want to see how far you can throw your hat against a tornado.
*Which might actually be a secret third reason. Any option that obviously fitting is going to trigger what few contrarian genes I have

If possible, I would like to try to achieve what Outer Heaven/Zanzibarland does in canon 8BD: The establishment of a sorta hybrid-state between a proper government and one of the other options.
