- Who has led the most effective/damaging social media campaigns of the last three months? This crew.

- TIme and screenshots. "Right before Boulder" is tempting timing, but "5 days before San Francisco" with the evidence to nail them dead to rights is better.

- So... is this BRRN NORAM? RES do not go for parallel power structures like we do.

- There's elite behavior and opinion, and there's rank-and-file behavior and opinion.

- Excellent question.

- Let's postulate elite. Even if the entire RES elite cadre is implicated and they close ranks, they've grievously wounded their recruitment and retention. We can expect many FCs from disgusted, morally outraged agents.

Or maybe it's rank-and-file. In which case we will give the RES elite the opportunity to either endorse or disavow. If they endorse, we're back to case 1. If they disavow, (and possibly even if they don't), they admit to the presence of a parallel power structure in the RES outside of their control. That's damaging to RES narratives all on its own.

- ENL is more fragmented and pretty publicly so. The stakes are also high but not symmetrical.

- Mmm, true.

- I think the deciding factors on strategy will be the user list.

- I mean, if we were satisfied that RES anomaly leadership were not in this Slack, I think there's a great argument for releasing it on November 6th. Immediately after the anomaly.

- Not least of which is respect for Whistle Blower.

- Hi, I'm a professional liar/lie detector. No wonder we get along so well.

- Too slow. But the entire list in equal increments over the course of a week? Maximum carnage.

- 💚💚💚💚💚

- Just as a clarification, everything in the brokers guild slack is related to AO tracking and Guardian Hunting, right? There aren't fielding or counterfielding tools associated with this, just player stalking/griefing?

- The Radar docs are WB's, the rest are Charlie's copies.

- Three

- Radar, Radar members, Radar channels.

- I mean, it's the complete opposite of how we organize around here. We do local, sometimes hyperlocal sovereignty. How long would we last without murdering each other if Scott and Elliot had to check with Philly before doing anything? To hell with that.

- I love everyone in here, and have absolutely no desire to help you run your local stuff. That's yours.

- 💯 The GH game requires much broader command and control channels than anything we do on a day to day basis.

- We do broad organizations strictly for strategic goals with fixed timeframes: anomalies, shards, BAFs. Elsewise, it's strictly local control. Hunting requires 24/7 regionalism to be effective, the way they set it up.

- Is WB OK with accelerated timeline? Not saying they get a veto, but they should know when to go to an interior room away from windows.

- Thank you.

- Friday is the day on which people bury their bad news for a reason. Harder to get eyeballs. Unless you push at midnight and catch Europe in the morning.

- Shooting for Thursday noon gives us buffer time to slip to Thursday evening or Friday morning if we absolutely have to, or Krug asks us.

- I might skip the map entirely and have a text description of "XX countries on Y continents, and ZZ US States."

- There's no way to completely shield WB. If we remove her from the list, that will blow her cover to RES sure as anything.

- She's going to take some undeserved lumps. All we can do is be apologetic.

- RES have their own complete list. If we release a list with n-1, or even n-5 names, they can quickly zero in on who we omitted and why.

- Whether they know about it or not, we can verify its existence.

- The scanner has to have some amount of push in order to properly render visual effects like the shield bubble

- Aye.

- AP required for Level 16?

- AP Style

- Associated Press

- Unsearchable isn't so bad if it's in alphabetical order and scrollable.

- Domain.domain/agent/thesolo

- Incoming

- That they would have been stopped if something so widespread and blatant was actually against the rules.

- This is how I participated in a UIGEA violation back in the day.

- "These companies are advertising on Network Television, their workaround has to be kosher and not money laundering."

- The devs in chats insulates everyone else.

- Clearly this is OK, because otherwise the adults would have made us stop.

- People have a way of self-deluding on this subject.

- Linking to images is just citation, not embellishment or assuming the audience is stupid. Highlights may be overkill.

- I wouldn't without all y'all's help.

- Semi. GTFTS.

- Not nice.

- Futura is underappreciated but Helvetica is a classic for reasons.

- Open Sans is fine.

- Exo 2 Second preference.

- ...this is where @rekkanoryo inherits the Enlightened because the rest of us are dead of alcohol poinsoning, right?

- Backlog marker

- Greater Toronto Area is dirty as fuck. Rest of Ontario/rest of Canada is tainted to whatever degree they can't alienate 25% of their national population.

- And then given fresh scanners and otherwise made level with each other.

- Olympiad just reinforces that they aren't actually profiting from all this in-game. We still kicked their ass.

- All ~800 people know is that RIOT is down.

- Hasn't happened in a year.

- what

- Niantic didn't have enough information to credibly make this threat.

- Not yet.

- Wait a day, see how it goes.

- Whoa

- Yup, timing tell.

- WOW

- This is not an American court of law unless Niantic makes it one. They can absolutely demand any burden of proof they want, whether loose or strict, and they can even decide that anyone in the Brokers Guild Slack is guilty until proven innocent. Do I expect any of that? No. The point is, Niantic has a choice.

- I had to double check that that wasn't Keys for Everyone

- Dislike of intrusive surveillance tactics comports with Central Europe.

- The web interface is also just an interface

- @Semiotiq I saw you getting some seriously effed up messages in comm during our zoom tonight. You and @TheRealVedorian , I am so sorry.

- Clearly personally targetted throwaway account trolling in the comm tab during an intel map screen share.

- Maybe it was older. Username was definitely referring to you, message blipped by but called you "Chuck", because non-preferred names are clever.

- Honestly, organic virality is good for us. Gets us a lot of collateral eyeballs.

- Definitely outed by this room, probably set up, if he was competently set up then the particular Australian is a patsy.

- The metaphor I came up with reading the backscroll tonight is NATO Nuclear Sharing. I apologize for the incoming wall of text about Cold War geopolitics.

- Back in the Bad Old Days of the 1960s and 1970s, the United States asserted that all norms and treaties about nuclear non-proliferation were dead letters if there was ever a general war in Europe. If the Soviets came through the Fulda Gap, we were handing dozens of nukes each to about ten different countries.

- This was a terrifying threat, because it left the fate of multicellular life on Earth in the hands of whichever NATO head of government was *least* stable.

- Also, some of those NATO countries were more likely to use nukes on each other than the Russians. Looking at you, Greece and Turkey.

- Anyway, I am sitting in a room of 40 people who have all just been handed nuclear weapons. People are starting to have panic reactions. Anyone who hasn't found a mole in here to tell them what's going on is incompetent. 40 person rooms are inherently insecure.

- Charlie disagrees with this vehemently, and that's OK.

- But at this point, I think I need to run for cover. I hope we do get to burn something green that's worth burning, like cactus or enl.wtf, and not ordinary anomaly tools, but this is not a forum which can do that.
