Sorry for the wall of text - but I want you guys to have a read and tell me what you think.
[6:28:25 AM] Friday: A question - do the Phantoms really go for human augmentation and cybernetics?
[6:28:31 AM] Akuяa: They are the guiding the people who can destabalise the governments
[6:28:37 AM] Akuяa: Not so much anymore
[6:28:43 AM] Akuяa: They lost their contact to the original leaders
[6:28:49 AM] Akuяa: They're a lot weaker now
[6:28:54 AM] Akuяa: Desperate almost
[6:28:58 AM] Friday: Hmm - thats a shame actually - because it would give you Phantoms the perfect cover.
[6:29:14 AM] Akuяa: Well, we do have a few still
[6:29:19 AM] Akuяa: Some limited tech
[6:29:25 AM] Akuяa: Depends what you had in mind
[6:29:36 AM] Friday: Might I have a chat to you Phantoms? Or maybe leave some feedback for you guys to read?
[6:29:58 AM] Friday: basically - there is an aspect left unfilled by the Consortium concept that would be perfect for you guys.
[6:30:05 AM] Akuяa: Well, the Phantoms are almost dead, I'm pretty much the only person that cares so much
[6:30:18 AM] Akuяa: If you wanted to leave it in the Feedback thread, I suppose you could
[6:30:27 AM] Friday: Well, I shall talk to you about my idea then, then put it in the general feedback.
[6:31:11 AM] Friday: Its a way of having both an upper echelon dedicated to you ultimate goals - but also having lower levels of membership that might be non-terrorist in nature.
[6:31:49 AM] Akuяa: Mkay, I kinda get it
[6:32:24 AM] Friday: Well - the basic 'cover' could be the promotion of Transhumanist philosophy.
[6:33:09 AM] Akuяa: So they use the cover of wanting to improve people
[6:33:11 AM] Akuяa: WITH SCIENCE
[6:33:17 AM] Akuяa: It has to be said like that
[6:34:00 AM] Friday: yes - transhumanism is - nowadays - a fringe philosophy.
[6:34:16 AM] Friday: but in the future - it would be be more accepted - if reviled by all right thinking people
[6:34:39 AM] Friday: but it would attract people - people desperate to extend their lives or improve themselves.
[6:35:38 AM] Friday: You would have 'true believers' who think that Transhumanism is the future of humanity. "Desperados" who are willing to do anything for augmentation to avoid death, or recover from disease/injury.
[6:35:58 AM] Friday: And at the top - "Sentinels" who have the Phantoms true mission in mind
[6:37:09 AM] Friday: With the front of promoting Transhumanism - you could attract recruits from across Sirius, as well as funding and knowledge resources from all types - from governments to wealthy individuals.
[6:37:40 AM] Friday: And I am serious about the government angle - after all governments have been known to use terrorist groups to hit their enemies...
[6:38:09 AM] Friday: No terrorist groups survives on terror alone - they ALL have fronts and means of supporting themselves.
[6:38:32 AM] Friday: The Dragons have the GMG, Hessians have their mining operations - and both enjoy popular support among ordinary citizens.
[6:39:13 AM] Friday: Transhumanism is a very specialised (almost fetish) aspect of futuristic life - but it deserves a place on the fringe of society.
[6:39:36 AM] Friday: And the Phantoms are ideally suited to adopt it to their purposes - it gives them legitimacy (of a sort).
i have seen it through, it is a truely sad sight to read the Phantoms nearly dead, then they just have to recruit some more ofcourse, but i dont really gets what its all about, only that phantoms are not so seen anymore ?
can you please detail it for me ?:$
We're in the process of going through recruits. Don't worry, we're on top of things.
Hint: the thread is still open.
[8:32:45 PM] Dusty Lens: Oh no, let me get that. Hello? Oh it's my grandma. She says to be roleplay.
[12:49:19 AM] Elgatodiablo: You know its nice that you have all that proof and all, Bacon... but I just don't believe you.
Ok, so I met 2 phantoms trough my time in disco, which is about a year or so.
I won't tell names..don't want to offend anyone. This is my feedback,
one of them was simple everyday average disco joe, I am big bad phantom, I want kill. Thats all rp I got from that guy(no we didn't fight or nothing..I was just surprised how bad was my encounter expecting more..anything from phantom , on other hand I had one fight and long rp yesterday with one of your guys, and it was a pleasure. So I hope more of you are chatty serial killers, then I don't need money or rp. dai type of guys.

Yes, I totally understand, I hate it when a terrorist doesn't take a half hour to talk to me before killing me.

Hey man it's a feedback thread, you can shoot all you like, but it's an rp server, as I've stated we weren't fighting or about to, we were..almost rp-ing.
Anyway...sorry for feedback then when you can't handle it
' Wrote:I think what phantoms need is an RP, shipline&equip code, and behavioral code that forces them to make a tiny bit of sense, just like everyone else.
And all will be well.
I think they already have all that.
So, all is well.
