Conquering the World

[Dude_Doc]

How would you conquer the Earth? By massive invasions, brain washing, or maybe a more secret, unpredictable action? What propaganda would you tell the conquered countries? How would you keep those countries under control? Would you use terror?

Note: This is an imaginable scenario, which puts you, either as a dictator, a part of a secret group, or a government, in a position concerning conquest. This is not an idealism-bashing thread.

[ordos45]

How would I conquer this world? With care, great care. The first thing would be to establish a small organization, once it had grown to signifigant size, find a way to combine it with the Russian Mafia and Yakuza, placing me in its Board of Directors. With a small intimidation arm in place now, certain high level politicians in larger countries would be forced to vote for laws that would reduce civil liberties next to nothing. Those who would not vote as ordered would be killed in "accidents". (A slip in the shower, choking on a hot dog, heart attack...all so natural, yet so easy to fake. Any idiot can blow someone's head off, it takes a forensic artist to make it look natural.)

WIth civil liberties next to nothing, an elaborate set of terror attacks would be planned, to convince the people they needed a strong leader to fight off the terrorists. That is when I am appointed as a civilian advisor for a war against some nation, supposedly for my knowledge of that nation. Then a Press Conference would be issued during that war, where I would be ordered to use banned Biological, Chemical, and nuclear weapons against said nation. I would refuse, the right people having been appointed to military positions thanks to the Mafia would back me, and we would storm the different governments' buildings, and depose of the evil men and women who wanted nothing but genocide.

When several of my own friends turned up dead, I would be "grief stricken" and media commentators now under my control would point out how this must be revenge against me for standing up for the right of innocent people to live. This would win me public sympathy. Thus, I would finally control the world.

[Navaros]

I'd use brainwashing combined with regular public "Burning at the Stakes" like in the good old days along with healthy media saturation of intense Biblical Quotiage.

Like in Emperor, to conquer the World it's best to diversify your strat as much as possible in order to achieve the ultimate Victory.

[VigilVirus]

Well, first I would gather a group of loyal people under my control, martyrs preferably. Then, I would engineer a virus, with a high fatality rate and contagion, preferably mixing the Ebola virus with a flu strain or something of that nature. Then I would send my agents throughout the world, with vials of the virus and viral glass to reproduce it. I would then administer the vaccine to myself, and create a temporary antiserum, which would stop the disease for a period of time, but not cure it.

I would then command my agents to release my virus, gradually, first as tests in low populated areas, seeing how the governments will respond. If they do not comply with my orders, I will strike again, and infect the major world capitals and the world's governments unless they agree to my demands, in which case, the antiserum would be administered. From them on, I will infect every person on earth, who has not been vaccinated with the virus and produce antiserums in huge quantities, selling them at high prices to those able to pay.

By then, I will have the ultimate authority over the world, and will order anyone killed who dares to oppose me. If anyone ever does get close enough to ruin my plans, I will release the before-hand prepared strains of the virus, that are not affected by the vaccine or the antiserum and destroy the multitude of earth's population.

Hmm, farfetched plan, but eh ;)

[DjCiD]

Haha! You'll have to try harder than that to get me to reveal my plan to take over the world by using remote android ninja mice.

Make shure you controle all things people life by or judge there existens by. So food, information, religion and ideas. Not to forget their expectations. Controle them without the people of the world being aware of it and you'll be sitting on roses.

Mayby combine that with a co-operative that follows a Macheavellian leadership.. .

On how to do that. . . you think I'm gon'na tell you before I execute the masterplann ? ;)

[Andrew]

I would create a religion for everyone to follow, and thus take over the world.(same for politics)

[Jack Leaf]

I will tell everybody to follow me, and if it does not work, I will force them to play my game. They will suffer then.

[Sardauker-Kirov]

I will conquer the world with the Huns, the Huns has risen again!

Mongols almost conquered the whole world, and we shall DO IT AGAIN!

"Mongol army gets slaughtered by modern Knights and Tanks"

No comment......

[Terror]

i'd make up a religion, a new one... starting in a poor country, as i'm more likely to get any followers there, and expanding more and more, eventually when i have enough manpower, i receive a "message" from "god" that we have to take over the world from the rich countries, by all means necessary.

Either that or i could steal a NASA shuttle, insert the coordinates of the planet Vulcan, and come back with my logical friends to take over the world.

[Dante]

I'd probably become a part of any existing political systm and then do my best to rot it from the inside out until I become the Emperor of the world. Either that or I'd copy Devil's Advocate. We're awfully similar in that respect and in that we both plan to actually carry it out one day. ;)

[Terror]

*cough* star wars *cough* :)

remember that the emperor dies in the end? :)

[exatreide]

Exacute the president of a small african nation.

Become leader through a series of schems and killings. Give the people a strong sesne of patriotism, begin industrilzing the nation untill it becomes a power of africa. Annex some of the near by weaker african nations. Begin industrilzation on them. Once my nation is at the height of africa. I begin building a military, small one at first, but growing. By several Nukes off america, or the former soviet union who ever allies with me. Use military mightl, and personly lead the troops to victory over the other weaker nations untill i control a large enough Chunk of africa, wait a few years building a military, strong econemy to riviel the west. A few assinations, a few well placed scalends untill the west is fighting amongst themselvs...take the rest of africa. Repeat process untill my rule spreads across the world. ;)

[gryphon]

That's no big deal .. . the CIA is doing that on a daily base. . ..

[Dude_Doc]

Or, like in the Command & Conquer series, wait until somekind of universel mega-recource crash on our planet, harvest it, and build a mighty army out of it.

;D

Mwa for the power of the virus ;D

[Dante]

Mwa. ;D

Why on Earth would anyone want to rule the world? Just so you have to be constantly on your guard for treason and assasination attempts, until you completelly wreck your physical and mental health? No thanks.

Besides, it's not like any of your plans would ever work - I'll always be there to stop you. ;)

[Dude_Doc]

Good luck :) .

[Sardauker-Kirov]

Edric has a HUGE point there, humans are like runaway dogs, you must always look after them and take care of them.

Harkonnen anyone?

We might as well change our voices into heavy voices, and we might be real Harkonnen!

;D

But they always say, that producing fear is much better than producing joy.

Some people don't enjoy joy, but some people won't enjoy and won't revolt against the cruelness of the president.

[nemafakei]

"Just so you have to be constantly on your guard for treason and assasination attempts, until you completelly wreck your physical and mental health?"

Well, if you don't care about dying, and you are already unfit and insane, you're ok. Yay!

Actually, that's half the reason I want to rule the world. ;D

[gryphon]

Just poped in mind, there was an article [ somewhere forgot where ] a few weeks back. . . showing a picture of starving people in Africa somewhere, no medicine as they couldn't be brought to that place. Though there where Coca Cola can's all over the place. It was about UN relieve work, it they arn't able to get medical suplies into certain regions, but Coca Cola is able to get his product to every single point on this rock, . . then who has conquered the world ?

[exatreide]

my plan goes well mon ami ;)

[Dante]

I'll have to try that. . .
