I'll count this on the next voting even though you have no idea what it will be. Problem?
Also this one will have less unrelated images as the "feel" has been sufficiently built already for the whole Firemen debacle.
==========
Do Liberals dream of Rainbow Monocles?
Good thing it has been utterly abandoned, except for a fallen warrior of diversity. But his memory will carry on.
And this is it for the entire month, where the only other thing that happened was the continued investment in acting classes for the Warriors of Diversity, eager to join the Gentlemen's Club.
After weakening the Cable News credibility, the next issue of the Liberal Guardian deals with one of many kinds of police abuse that became so common lately in America. As these truths are announced, hopefully one day the vile DethSquad shall be gone.
The funding for the revolution is going fine. Most of the expenses obviously came from training the Warriors of Diversity in the art of disguise.
With the cash gained, the Liberal Guardian building is further secured through hidden cameras that will give the exact position of the pigs during a raid. Meanwhile, another poll is made:
People are slowly taking notice of rampant police brutality and abuses against the right of privacy. The Liberal Guardian is making a great job in shifting public's opinion and bringing the popularity of the arch-conservative president down. Meanwhile training time is almost over.
Unintentionally, by a stroke of coincidence, a few hours after the Liberal Guardian's special edition began to be given clandestinely to the people, an innocent 12-years old black boy is executed by a DethSquad Officer known by the nickname of nomask7 in the city of Cleveland, something that was almost being accepted as normal. But this time, it sparked a great riot by dozens of thousands of huge black men with machetes and molotov cocktails, and eventually it spread into a wave of chaos.
All leading to a tragic end: thousands were summarily executed, including women and children. The Liberal Guardian immediately released an issue on this crime against mankind, this mass murder. And after it, all of America became silent, shocked from witnessing what they allowed to happen.
Violence broke out through many other cities.
But the Revolution shall not be Televised, and the Cable News bullshit insisted everything was exactly the same.
And there is much left to do. Many liberties lost that they must fight for.
Woody MacNeil, the last of the Warriors of Diversity to max his current disguise skill, will have to gain enough juice and become more charismatic before he can improve further such ability. Now will they get in at last?
Is that enough?
October 19th. America is under the threat of a new Civil War due to the DethSquad and all other forms of tyranny as true resistance began to sprout from one event in that city of Cleveland. This is all like that thing... you know already.
And this day was just another day for the Liberal Crime Squad, another attempt to join the Gentlemen's club and turn great enemies into great allies.
All that money and time spent on acting classes for nothing...
But they try again
It is clear they are too green for this. Obviously, an elite place like this would only accept Elite Liberals. But in the meantime, the Warriors of Diversity disguise skills are much, much, much greater than they ever were before.
And our resident hacker can try recruiting some people, in spite of a total lack of persuasion, or social skills of any kind, as expected.
He convinces lots of easily persuaded, liberal people to get in meetings, but it'll take a time for them to finally decide joining the LCS. Considering the delicate balance of the law, after all these failures trying to join the conservative monocled gentlemen, the Warriors of Diversity go to the Halls of Ultimate Judgment for the not so consensual kind of recruitment.
There is always some fool to be tricked. Meanwhile, after his recruitment drive, Ryan goes out to the Pawn Shop to sell the many suits the tailors made, and some sensitive information in "surplus".
And now there will be no issues with money for the rest of the month!
But pigs never learn. Reinforced, and now with access to fireproof bunker gear, the Voices of Liberty once again choose to stand and fight.
MULTI HEADED DILDOS HITTING ASS AND LEG OH GOD ITS HEAVAN
No surrender, no retreat!
Also, it was too late when they realized they forgot to stash in another safehouse all the info and stuff over there, and now they'd have to pick it around. The good news is that, thanks to the cameras, they know exactly where the enemies not caught by traps are. Thus they seek to avoid those still on the move and slaughter the trapped ones...
...in a very bloody and violent manner.
After slaughtering this team of firemen, they hunt for another trapped one, while taking advantage of the hidden cameras to sneak through several other squads looking for them. The bad news is that Sandra Yamaguchi was harmed, but his bunker gear saved his life and he is not that severely wounded.
Another trapped group of fascists also never stood a chance, and before they could even react, they were utterly slaughtered like the pigs they are.
And thus, once again Freedom of Speech wins the battle, but not the war, which is far from over yet.
And two new lawyers, after being enlightened by MULTI HEADED DILDOS, become the newest members of the Fifth Column of Liberalism. Nothing like having some backup for the worst, although sleeper judges would be even better.
The people Ryan recruited went all to the Liberal Guardian, simply because they lack the combat skills to form another active squad, but will help a lot providing backup fire should yet another raid occur, and are mostly intelligent people who just need a little push to become great writers. Here are some of them detailedly, and again, they can be picked by any Codexer wanting to claim a character:
Jasmine Hodinott puts newfag hackers to the shame, but in the end, she was more needed here than with Ryan for the sake of hacking. Like Ryan, she can now recruit up to five people. Her first aid skills will help save lives, specially as this is a separate building from the one where the Warriors of Diversity are, and thus needs its own doctor.
Ellen Viscuso, one of the founders of the Liberal Guardian, veteran of two battles against fascist firemen. A great shot with a pistol, but despite her high firearm skills, in her hands, the pen is mightier than the gun, and will help much more with progress and the cause than that .44 magnum revolver ever will. Due to her bravery resisting the most violent form of censorship, she is considered a legend among liberals, and thus can recruit up to three people.
How can a hairstylist have an innate skill with heavy weapons if she never used one in her entire life? This is one of the mysteries of life nobody ever answers, but in any case, Liz Harper is the most badass hairstylist one could ever imagine. A true feminist, as her skill with machineguns shows, and also, due to her badassitude, capable of recruiting up to three new liberals.
This makes up a total of 11 potential new members or sleepers, which means there will definitively be a separate option for voting on who to recruit as well as the option on who to kidnap, and that soon an extra safehouse will be useful. And after all of this heat, another month goes. The Liberal Guardian lives!
To fasten the loss of popularity of the current president, now the Guardian will focus on matters about the rot of the government itself rather than of the corporations it serves, specially with the growing riots over the country threatening a possible second civil war.
Our brave Fifth Column also helps a lot with the spread of the truth about all that is wrong with the country.
And along the chaos, the Congress begins to vote on several issues. The threat of a civil war looming might work for the cause of liberalism this time.
And indeed it does. This late October thus was marked as a great day of the Liberal Crime Squad. Afraid of the consequences of acting like the King of Kings, Gaddafi, about these riots and threats of a civil war, because they ain't even Kings, the conservatives give in a few concessions upon which they nearly unanimously vote for. Even if, after this, police and privacy abuse are far from over, things will still get better now, for these concessions to stop the future of a guillotine chopping their heads off lead to the immediate dissolution of the DethSquad. But this is not enough for the liberal cause. Just one first small step towards a better future. Now police on the streets will only shoot to kill those who refuse to surrender and executions on the spot of people spraying graffiti will be at last over.
The shroud of darkness and tyranny over America thinned slightly today, but it remains too thick.
It's very unlikely there will be any shortage of money this November. And now, the practical results of these minor gains for the cause:
Before this, there weren't even slap-on-wrist punishment for police misconduct, and privacy laws weren't full of loopholes, but nonexistant. Now, as long as reactionaries don't bring thes two minor steps back, the DethSquad is gone for good, at least.
And now, comes the time to make decisions for November 2009. This Time with way more options than ever.
First of all, with 11 potential new, willing recruits, and remembering the recruiters aren't really masters of persuasion like Trash, what kind of people should they recruit?
1) Liberal Judges and lawyers to become sleepers
2) Programmers to make a full hacking team
3) Actors for a new covert operations squad that will rely more on discretion and diplomacy than brute force compared to the Warriors of Diversity(hoping to not find any kind of mutated rat in a genetics lab).
4) War Veterans, Athletes, Dancers and others with good skills or stats for a new combat-centric squad
5) Fashion Designers, Oppressed Sweatshop Workers(if appliable) and other kinds of people with tailoring skills. It's a good extra source of cash.
6) Journalists, Office Workers, Authors and other writers to expand even further the Liberal Guardian.
7) Psychologists to increase the Squad ability of kidnapping and quickly converting several conservatives simultaneously.
8) Hippies, Crackheads, Transients, Janitors and other easily persuaded people.
(Note: if any of the above options turn in with too many failures in recruitment attempts, #8 will be done)
Second, there is still the other kind of "recruitment". So, who should be kidnapped?
A) Judges and Lawyers
B) Corporate Managers
C) CIA Agents. Perfect combination of good disguise and combat skills, but they are difficult to enlighten due to very high Wisdom.
D) Soldiers along other common types of conservatives with good combat skills.
E) News Anchors and Radio Personalities
F) The Security Guards from the Gentlemen's Club
G) Authors, Office Workers, Journalists etc.
With all of the Warriors of Diversity having at least level 4 disguise skill, now the amount of places they could relatively infiltrate with success is arguably greater, thus, what should they seek out this November:
H) The Fireman HQ. It's time to strike back for all the raids they did against the Liberal Guardian by looting anything of value not nailed to the floor over there. And killing anyone who tries to stop them
I) The Police Station. Surely, the DethSquad was just abolished, but there are still people unjustly arrested or oppressed, and thus it's time to show them off by releasing the victims of this fascist system that goes against rehabilitation and diversity.
J) The Halls of Ultimate Judgment, after getting Trash in some law classes, something in which he has some basic knowlege already, so that he can attempt to influence the jury's decision and hopefully not end chased by angry jurors.
K) The Gentleman's Club. Futile to vote for this option if you don't also vote to turn the bouncers into sleepers, of course, but this place will be full of very powerful conservatives. Perhaps they could even end getting a Supreme Court member there as a sleeper. Or maybe the bouncers didn't become convinced by their disguise skills for a reason and they will not stay there for long without getting shot if they try.
L) The Sweatshop, to destroy their machines of oppression, confiscate their goods for the cause and free their enslaved workers.
M) The Other Factories, to destroy their machines of oppression, confiscate their goods and free child workers from slavery.
N) The Cosmetics Labs to free the poor cute puppies
O) The Genetics Labs to free the poor "cute puppies"
P) The Prison, to free all those poor Afro-Americans and Hispanics who are oppressed by this unjust, racist system just because they were goaded by conservative injustice to become drug dealers and thugs.
Q) The Nuclear Power Plant, after Trash gets some Science! classes to improve his skill in it. So that this machine of twisting men inside, turning them into mutants, like all corporate pollution, can be shut down, permanently, by pressing the red button of AWESOME.
And at last, now that there is much more money than before, what should be the focus of the next investments:
a) Fortifying further the safehouse where the Warriors of Diversity are, so that when the worst comes, they could at least give a lesson to the first try of taking them out before abandoning it.
b) Renting Upper Class Downtown Apartments for the future new members that will be recruited. If you voted on focusing recruitment on the formation of a new active squad or a hacker team, this will help a lot because conservatives usually don't suspect of anything going on in places full of rich people and thus heat will disperse faster there.
c) Renting Middle Class University District apartments for the future new members that will be recruited. They aren't as stealthy as the ones Downtown, but you believe they will be enough for now.
d) Body Armors for everyone! Exactly what it says. Body Armor is relatively expensive to craft, with each costing $500.
e) Master of Disguise. As soon as the Warriors of Diversity gain enough juice from a previous infiltration to be able to improve further their overall disguise skill, they should get into acting classes again.
f) Training the Warriors of Diversity in dodging so that their chances of surviving tough firefights are increase.
g) Training the Warriors of Diversity in first aid to increase the chances of everyone surviving even after wounded in battle.
h) LARPing is fun. Purchase crazy costumes from the Oubliette like Clown Suits, Bondage Gear, Togas and Masks just for the sake of LARPing and lulz. Also, don't forget to do whatever raid is voted in November 5th.
Infiltration Options that aren't available yet because they are utterly suicidal include CIA Headquarters, Army Base, Corporate Headquarters and CEO Castle, but in the future they will also be "unlocked" like if they were achievements rewarding the reader for doing absolutely nothing so that he can feel AWESOME.
