Conquer Club

It has recently come to my attention that Doom is planning a coup in Costa Rica.

Now, Costa Rica has been democratic since before 1950, so Doom's coup will have to involve a relatively high degree of violence as to overcome the inevitable public dissent. He will also likely have to kill most current major political figures so that movements cannot form around them.

This gives us a golden opportunity to let Doom do the heavy lifting and then, with a surgical countercoup take him and his generals out and "restore peace". If we play this right we will be viewed as saviours ending Doom's bloody reign (the fact that his name is actually "Doom" is also a huge stroke of luck and will prove invaluable for propaganda purposes).

After the countercoup, we will of course have to fix the state of anarchy that Doom has left the country in and therefore we will have to "temporarily" grant ourselves extraordinary executive and judicial powers.

Anyway, who's in?
We talk on chatcrypt, Fridays at midnight (GMT). Be sure to do the required reading first.

I once visited Costa Rica. Since I know the lay of the land (I remember, uhm, a volcano, and the ocean on either side of the country, and uh, the cloud rain forest), I can map out possible attack routes.

Can I join?

I am not sure. I'll leave it up to Haggis. It might be counterproductive.

Doom invades Costa Rica, I invade his fridge.

I'll bring the sodas.

You're in. Good job on infiltrating Doom's group btw. That'll come in handy.

Sorry, we seem to not have any spaces left at the moment.

Excellent, you're in. I was gonna send Andy to get some but he probably would have bought a 24 pack of Bana-nina.
That stuff is nasty.

I'll bring the grill (charcoal of course) and hamburger patties! Also bratwursts for those that want them.

Honestly, you are probably right. But I could always get something like this too:



so Fair so Good!

Can I be a coffee plantation warlord?

According to my sources, DM has decided on a new name for the country once he takes it over. We'll eventually have to counter this too.

Does Doom have a doctorate of some kind? If he's successful in his counterinsurgency, will he be able to bestow upon himself the title of doctor? If so, who will he archnemeses be? Some kind of foursome that has fantastic powers?

Just in case, we should prepare an army of squirrels according to my research:

Confound?
Wretched?
Vex?

I love old-school Marvel.
