I nominate sprin for head of the random ideas department.
And i criminals will probably get a list of choices for how to die.
On the animals part, i dont think we will capture any on mars/the moon.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

Alright, making plans to crossbreed mint with various sorts of animals and create modified turtles that can be used as currency. Prepare for inflation...

And i criminals will probably get a list of choices for how to die.

Lists of ways to die are for the crimes in the scale of treason, assassination of fellow forumite, corruption, etc.
Other crimes will be handled by my division of the governmental body.

1. Sorry, I'd prefer a Latin motto for MADPLANS if possible
2. I thought we were going to hold a coup, not a war. We don't have the manpower, and our current funds will only extend to a plane ticket or two.
3. As far as I'm concerned, minting our own coins comes alongside dress uniforms and other luxuries. I.E not yet.
2. Coup, war, either way. I'd consider slowly eroding the current leader's control over himself with Brainfreez and giving him advice.
3. That was an idea for the US government.

2) That is probably the best idea to start the invasion plans with.

Couldn't we engrave the aluminum?
Why on earth would you do that when you have a perfect stash of weapons-grade Brainfreez up in Latvia?

We all do not want to be turned into brainfreez by our own coins, the coins would cost too much to make, we want to use that on our enemies, brainfreeztm is a plant so it would not hold shape for a long period of time, and aluminum has the ability to hold more complex designs to prevent counterfeiting.

Also, using drugs as currency really ruins our image.

It isn't stopping us now, but in comparison to other places, our forum is pretty obscure.  When we are in the spotlight, we will have to keep up appearances in order to divert suspicion away from us.

Possibly.  Depends upon if there is a mapping/military satellite over the area.  It would most likely be noticed due to the amount of equipment that is required to hold up and launch the rocket.  It would probably be more efficient to launch the rocket from the back of a high-altitude aircraft like a modified Boeing 747.

Nay, at least until High and Moderate priorities are taken care of.

I dont think we can fit enough building matmerials on a modified boeing 747. We'll need bigger planes. Wich, again, probably exist by the time that we are taking off.

Those may still not be enough, but if we utilize multiple launches, we could increase our chances for success due if one fails, only a fraction of the people are lost compared to everyone.
