Main

Greetings to all party members of the Singularity Party!  Our predictions show that at the end of this new era, only one party shall remain dominant over the nation!  The Phoenix Party foolishly believes that it is their petty magics that shall rule over this coming world, but they are wrong!  We shall show them the power of technology is far greater than that of their petty magics!

Never tried one of these before, but I'm trying now.

Could we get a link to the general thread, so I can decide which side to join?

I'll edit one into the OP of the thread now that I can get the introduction made.  May be good for you to join this one since you have already posted, though, just so that you are only getting alerts from one of the threads and don't accidentally cheat by mistaking this thread for the other.

Thx, decided to join the singularity because I like technology more. We shall rule over everything! By the way, I think that we should focus on getting as much power through money and economic connections first and then getting rid of the opposite party through politics.

Well remember Magic is a dangerous thing that any would be terrorist could use, so on of our first acts would to be to register all magic users if they aren't all ready. You know spread fear and distrust Red Scare style.

Technology could also be treated the same way; Big Brother, CCTVs, etc could be utilized as propaganda against our faction. Just as we can use the fear of magic as a scare tactic. Its already established in this world that magic is like a second language and natural to the other faction, and widespread of technology is common for us. Inciting fear will only cause the moderate/conflicted members to potentially join us. Also, I guess it's time for a proposal

Propaganda: Fear the Supernatural: With the usage of common techniques to express information through the overload of technology we utilize, incite information into the citizens and especially the moderates of the two, make claims such as magic has horrible side-effects when used that are not told by magic users, the magical government will poison society, etc. All this to create unnerving anxiety that a government controlled by users of magic will only lead to our demise

Maybe before we spread fear of magic we should have a propaganda ensuring the safeness of our technology so that the Phoenix party can't get us the same way we plan on getting them.

Good point, maybe start off with how safe technology is compared to magic? or a goodwill campaign? Make it so even the poorest of people have technological creature comforts like phones, cable, radio, etc all state paid so that everyone can get the basics?

I like the goodwill campaign. While magic is only for geniuses, tech can be for everyone!
Edit: We should especially emphasize how dangerous magic can be and maybe have our archeologists "find" an ancient manuscript of a magician describing how dangerous magic is and than print a copy of it for everyone. If there is a leak that the manuscript is false, have our E.I.D.O.L.O.N. take care of it

Christ imagine what we could do for our electrocuted elephant, We could pay some bloke to mutate it into a barely contained(with tech) monstrosity out for blood. No one will in the masses will use it after that.
