Fighting Hebigumo
Posted: 13 May 2014, 17:56
So, the Fae have come to Harper Rock in the guise of "Hebigumo": corporate overlords who started buying up property. While it's pretty easy to RP out physically kicking in the doors of some of those places and cleaning them out floor by floor (i.e., Digo has killed two Matriarchs in Team Raids), I have to think that Digo's PRIMARY avenue against the Fae wouldn't be to kill them one at a time: it certainly hasn't worked against the Blood Thieves or the Hunters (despite all logic).
Fortunately, Digo has other weapons at his disposal. First off, he's a B&E man: he's consistently breaking into Sec 7 buildings and collecting Company Secrets... he's stashing those away for Blackmail and Corporate Espionage purposes rather than selling them. Secondly, he's a Business Owner: together, his Businesses are worth over a million, he easily owns about a million in property (five times that at today's price for karma), and he has over two million in liquid assets... he would be waging an economic and legal battle against them to slow and counter their various acquisitions, flip their human employees, and otherwise make them fight in a human arena.
So, Journal posts about that would be SUUUPER boring to write, and twice as painful to read... but maybe it could be interesting for a bunch of vampires to sit down and discuss their various struggles, successes, and talk about how they can combine their efforts. Maybe it could even be something of an Impact Thread to reduce the Fae's influence in Harper Rock... I don't know of ANY Pro-Fae vampires out there (I guess there probably are: tell someone that the worst idea in the game is to go to square -40, -40 and you'll find three people there by the end of the day), but maybe it would be an effort that would cross factions?
Thoughts?
