    Post your plans for world domination/destruction here.

    Strictly for entertainment purposes only, of course.

    Just don't pretend you don't all have one ready and waiting in a drawer somewhere.

    I didn't choose a career in biotechnology by accident. T-virus, here I come.

    One disgruntled biotechnician could easily destroy humanity. In my biochem days I figured it'd only need about five years, working alone, to geneer a bacterium which would doom us all.

    How long would you need for an apocalypse virus?

    And would you be prepared to relocate to a base hidden in a volcano where you would receive a generous salary and exciting opportunities?

    Hypothetically, of course.

    I'll ascend as God-Emperor of the Space Wolves, er, Sweden, and we'll do what we've always done - remain neutral in WW3, sell arms to both sides, only this time we'll perform an exterminatus on anyone who still draws breath once the dust has cleared.

    And once we've cleaned away the worst radiation, the world will be empty and can easily be converted to my Administerium. I personally intend to use France as my front lawn.

    I've never really wanted to take over the world, but I would quite like to start my own religion. I'm thinking a version of free-love spiritualism. The thing is - I'm not really charismatic enough to be the central figure, so I think the best way to do it is to make up the existence of a wise and reclusive guru, whose teachings I merely disseminate. Then I can be my natural awkward nerdy self and it won't seem so implausible.

    Also, I'll get adherents of the religion cosying up to me to try to gain access to the guru. And when I say "cosying up", I mean... well... you know, the guru would say you should relax and trust your body's natural impulses, baby.

    If you're not charismatic enough, go for the grey eminence angle. Be the master of puppets and have people believe that your docile marionette is the one in power.

    I'm certainly not charismatic enough to manipulate someone else into being the figurehead.

    That's the beauty Smeul, you just need to find somebody who *is* charismatic enough AND stupid enough to do it. That way when it all goes horribly awry (because you weren't following these) you have somebody to throw to the wolves while you escape in your emergency zeppelin.

    Soo, that's one for supervirus, one for machiavellian politics, one for sex (doomsday?) -cult and one for economic monopoly.

    Pretty good line-up. Doesn't anyone plan to conquer china with their bare hands?

    Oh well, that ought to do it. Okay everyone... INITIATE PLAN OMEGA!!!

    Not just yet, ytzk. My post was an allusion to the feasibility of my current plan to end the world - I had to think of one that's harder to enact.
    A chronological inversion of half of the matter on earth. It then becomes antimatter and annihilates with the remaining matter, resulting in a huge release of energy and a void where earth used to be.

    I would be a terrorism without any ideology behind my acts. Just for the chaos. Bombs, electricity shutdown, causing riots.

    I would not become a leader, I just want to watch the consequences of what I did. Much more interesting in my opinion.

    You won't succeed. Someone with this idea will simply use your actions to promote their own agenda:

    Then I'll kill whoever dare to do that.

    I think it could work but only if you want to bring chaos to a big city, not a country or something as big. That's also why I like the idea of a single huge city (~60millions inhabitants maybe) which would be a country at the same time. Like the rest of the humankind gathering into a single city after dreadful events.

    Why haven't I though about introducing myself to the forum by sharing a plan to substitute the pope?

    Welcome aboard, werozzi.

    Whoa there, slow down. It will take at least until next Friday to finish the doomsday virus.
