Let's plan how to take over the world!
« on: February 13, 2016, 11:22:33 pm »

Name says it all. How is Bay12 going to take over the world, and what are we going to do once we do?

Personally, I say we take over any country with access to space and/or nukes and then invade the rest. Then, to prove that we are good people, gurantee anyone under our authority healthcare and an education.

I think so, Brain, but if they called them 'Sad Meals', kids wouldn't buy them!

I'm ashamed of the fact that I don't get this reference, but I know it's a reference to something.

Scenario 1:

Step 1: Develop incredibly precise methods of genetic engineering
Step 2: Genetically engineer incredibly infectious self-replicating airborne pathogen with 100% mortality rate
Step 3: Release pathogen in Madagascar and administer antidote to yourself
Step 4: Rule over the earth until you die of accident or natural causes, witnessing the end of human life and possibly all known intelligent life in the universe

As an alternative, replace the section of the pathogen causing death with something more benign, such as reversible sterilization. You now own the only method of allowing access to reproduction for the human race, and can sell the antidote to the highest bidder. You're now the most powerful person in the world, provided you keep anyone else from cracking your antidote formula.

Honestly though, ruling the world seems like too much effort.

Scenario 2:

Step 1: Go to Mars (or other habitable extraterrestrial planetary body)
Step 2: Declare yourself ruler of the planet
Step 3: Rule the world

Provided you have the means of survival, this seems like a far more enjoyable scenario. Get away from the idiots and start with a blank slate. Optionally, bring along sufficient hand selected population to begin sustainable reproduction.

Possible with today's technology, provided we're using frozen fertilized embyos and artificial insemination instead of good old-fashioned human reproduction 1.0.
