The Manipulators

[Notorious]

I know your plan now. You have five men, I have thirty. I keel you.

[Sifter]

I am in Russia... Place where we fight bears hand to hand kombat.

Plus, my men are Soviets. I KEEL YOU WITH LOVE AND HUMOUR FROM MOTHER RUSSIA!

[Honored Brother]

So guys... I have this problem.
When I made the stats, I decided to experiment. I've made different classifications of secret societies with their own strenghts and weaknesses. They already have predetermined stat points. Now, if I use this, you'd have to pick from one of this types of secret societies that best fits the one you made.
The question now is do you guys want to use this classifications or do you just want to pick the stats for yourself. I though it would be more fun with the group types, like in video games where you choose a character that best suits you. I could post the classifications here if you want me to so you can have a look-see.

[Notorious]

Yeah prolly post them

Well that's what I came up with. Tell me what you guys think.

[DELETED324324]

it looks great.

[Honored Brother]

Awesome. I'll wait for the other's reactions before I proceed.

[Notorious]

I'll definitely be paramilitary I think. But this equipment. How much of a difference will it make? Will we be usings ak47s while everyone is using lasers?

[Honored Brother]

Well, I would only accept modern tech in this rp as the timeline would start out in an alternate reality 2006. So you probably get to use windows 98 while everybody else uses xp.

[So Boerd]

I will take the economic conglomerate.

[Sifter]

I guess that I will choose Political Movement, however it will involve some paramilitary stuff inside the russian border (to boost funding).

Think Inner Circle from COD.

[DELETED324324]

probably a ancient order for me.
