The Evil Genius Collaboration Thread, Where evil geniuses fraternize Options

[DoomedOne]

Ever needed a specific thread in a specific RPG fan forum where you could compare with your plots or set up joint-operations? Here you go.

I'll start with the nice new Exit-MundiExit-Mundi guide to terrorism

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Paint a pole
Difficulty: Hard

Find a way to blacken the ice of one of the poles (the South pole is best). Cover it with dirt, soot or charcoal. Tainting it black with ordinary paint might take a little longer. A black pole doesn’t reflect sunlight but absorbs warmth -- and melts. The result: climate change, sea level rise, inundations and much annoyment for your enemies.

2. Design a disease
Difficulty: Very hard

Build a biotech lab in some obscure country and hire some bad guy scientists who share your evil ideas. Now, piece together a version of Ebola that spreads through air. Design a new, upgraded version of the flu, or AIDS. Alter the camel pox virus so that it infects humans. You’ll find all the basics you need to know in the scientific journals and textbooks.

Now comes the tough part. The best way to spread your disease, is to infect yourself and visit the public transportation facilities of the cities you wish to attack. Cough, sneeze and snort at will. Touch every handle and doorknob you encounter with your virus-laden hands. You will see: it’s gonna be fun.

An even more evil way to spread your doomsday disease around, is by letting animals do it for you. This takes a little extra research. Find out what animals carry your germ, preferably animals that don't go ill themselves. Most diseases have such a ‘carrier animal’: SARS, for example, gets carried around from human to human by common house cats.

A carrier animal will make your virus all the more successful, because it will be very hard to detect and even harder to contain the outbreak. Another upshot is that you survive the attack yourself. You might want to stick around to witness the misery you’re causing.

3. Detonate a disaster
Difficulty: Medium

Give a terrorist an atomic bomb or a huge amount of explosives, and he will immediately run off to blow up Washington DC. Dumb, of course. There might be better targets.

A well-chosen spot on the Western Arctic ice sheet might accelerate the melting of the pole. This should give you four to six meters of worldwide sea level rise, inundating many vital areas in Europe and the US. A big enough boom in Yellowstone Park might awaken the now dormant supervolcano under the park, turning half of the US into an ash-covered no man’ s land and bringing ice age to Europe. Blowing up the already unstable volcanic island of La Palma could prompt a mega-tsunami, which would slosh cities like New York City, Boston and Miami to kingdom come. A massive explosion on the seabed in the Gulf of Mexico could trigger a vast methane gas eruption, warming up the world’s climate and -- with some luck -- causing a huge firestorm over the US.

And the really good part is: you will find no guards on ocean floors, pole caps and volcanic islands.

4. Crush a current
Difficulty: Hard

It’s a bit of a long shot, but with some luck you may be able to plunge the Western world into an ice age. Now, wouldn’t you just love that?

The only thing you need to do, is disrupting the North Atlantic Current. This ocean current brings warmth from the tropics to Europe and the US. Without it, temperatures would be up to 10 degrees lower, disrupting agriculture and wreaking havoc with the economy of the civilized world. They would hate your guts for it, those westerners.

Already, the North Atlantic Current is weakening. And the best part is: some scientists believe that the current could break down relatively easy. Perhaps you may be able to kill the current yourself!

So, warm up the sea water near Greenland with atomic bombs. Load some ships with salt and sink them in the Atlantic. This should make the sea water locally denser and heavier, putting a 'plug' on the current. Blowing up some well-chosen glaciers on or near the South Pole might do the trick, too.

We warn you: it is all very speculative. But failed crops, severe winters and millions of pissed-off westerners could be your reward.


5. Bring in the plagues
Difficulty: Easy

If you’re a terrorist with a small budget, you could always try to unleash an agricultural plague of apocalyptic proportions.

Already, there are many pests around, causing billions of dollars of damage. Locusts, rabbits, parasites, fungi, worms and insects often become a plague when they’re introduced to a place where they're not supposed to be. The critters encounter no natural enemies, multiply wildly, and become a plague. That’s why Australia and New-Zealand have their rabbit problem and the US has its boll weavil.

So, study agricultural diseases. Track down some obscure Asian fungus or insect, and bring it over. Smuggle some sinister bird disease to the country you like to attack, and introduce it to its chicken farms. Bring in foot-and-mouth disease, or mad cow disease. Introduce weird weeds, exotic moths, sex-crazy rodents, hungry beetles and obscure insects. It might take a while before your Apocalypse kicks in. But boy, will it be some mess.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My own idea:

Generate brain-waves in dead bodies to reawaken them as zombies and build an army to take over the world.

Genetically alter AIDS infected Baboons to be more human like so they can form a rock-group called, "Everybody have AIDS" get in a lawsuit with Southpark's Matt Stone and Trey Parker, call for a miss-trial due to no jury of their peers and continue to make millions of dollars selling their songs, which I would be used to fund other plots.

Create a Fusion device of some kind to fuse people together who hate each other so they have to adhere to getting mind control devices installed in their brains in order to become unstucked. EITHER LEARN TO ACCEPT AND LOVE EVERYBODY OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES!

So, what ways have you figured out to end the world, or hold them hostage for lot's of money, or maybe just get back at your nemesis? Post them all.
