Objective: Disinformation


My objective was to rile up support for unity among the Federation. Normally an act of domestic violence would be enough, unfortunately, resources are tied up at the moment. That said, we needed a scapegoat, the ILF does a nice job. It has been a problem for our bureaucratic leaders; two ships with one missile, no? Plus known contact between the ILF and the Intaki Syndicate adds *proof* of terrorist activities. Plus the name even sounds menacing, sounds like some Minmatar militia.

The ILF has actually done some shady things, though, not enough to be actually be terrorists. But the Public need need not know that, aye? ;)

Just a test run, we don't really plan on going official with this. Probably just going to let it seep into conspiracy circles, youth counter culture and popular media. We want to incite doubt in people's minds, over potential enemies of the Federation. Now if the ILF ever slips up, a [small] part of the populace will shed light on this theory.

To be honest, I don't like doing a lot of this desk work, I prefer to go out into the field. Whether it's a camo assignment, dark OP (not black) or a loud raid, it feels natural. Though, I guess this is what happens when you blow up a 28 billion dollar sub ocean base... My bad. Now my battlefield is a desk. Though, they won't keep me here forever, you can't keep EZ ISK down!

Yeah, but can you put them together in foreign territory, without the locals figuring it out? Can you also make them nearly undetectable? That SOB was high tech!

Best be sure to include in your report to your superiors that you outed yourself as a spook, a sower of disinformation, and an unspeakable screw-up very shortly after disseminating that same disinformation ... all in the self-same forum topic.

Soldier, you would be severely damaging my opinion of Federal intelligence if I were gullible enough to think that they had actually hired you. For your own sake and our sanity, please go speak with your corporation's resident counselor.

Literally, seek professional help, please.

I'm not a soldier. Second of all, outing myself was simply a test to see what the effect would be on the minds of mercenaries. As expected, it discredited me almost immediately. This is valuable knowledge.

If we choose to apply this method, we could discredit our own ops by "leaking" them before they are actually leaked. In this way, anybody else claiming to have evidence of the same project would be discredited before they could get a decent spot light.

Genius, no?

Wow.

So he concocted a bunch of lies about ILF but couldn't be arsed to even try to fake any evidence to go with said concoctions, then once pegged for lying, openly admitted to doing exactly that, and then went on anyway to spout off some more lies (again with no evidence, concocted or otherwise) and...what? We're supposed to start wringing our hands because this poor performance might make a few conspiracy theorists notice that he showed no evidence for there being any conspiracy that he never properly outlined in the first place and admitted was his own lie?


I laughed. Seriously, man, thanks for the chuckleGÇöI needed it tonightGÇöbut don't quit your day job. Or night job. Or whatever it is that you do when you aren't doing this "spook" stuff.

You are scum.
Blind accusations of terrorism against completely innocent and random groups for no apparent reason... This paints the Federation in a bad light, to have such idiots amongst us.

Actually no, it's not genius for one very simple fact.

You are not with the Federal Intelligence Office, a real operative would not share this kind of information. Not to mention that your entire method of collecting this information is stupid and would shame the entire FIO. Seriously, go get professional help, you're worse than the first generation clones.

((FYI, saying that: "Oh I'm actually supah spai and not merc" is stupid, it is impossible for a clone soldier to work for the FIO. At least come up with a proper reason and not just: "Because, like, I said so!", you're just making a fool of yourself IC and OOC))

Actually I would reveal my status as a third party operative. Mostly due to my current assignment, the study of the psychology of conspiracy. This is what this thread is about.

((Just wanted to jump start a conversation in this channel. Get some blood pumping, get people posting. P.S you are suppose to dislike my character. I am going for the "shady bad guy, who is kind of stupid yet a little funny, and is random enough to be good guy at some point". I am playing many angles with this character. From Federation fanboi to clone who has a personality disorder due to my 1st generation implants. Chill out broski ;) ))

((Its a rather discontinuous character you have their and not one many RPers will want to be associated with for sheer inconsistencies and well rather a poorly thought out scenario.... I mean in all honesty you just alienated the Intaki RPers, some of the Gallentean RPers, probably the Amarrian RPers, and the caldari just don't like you anyway.))

((meh, it keeps this channel interesting, heated and a bit random. Plus, this character is not that random, just very detailed.))

((You're not making the IGS interesting, you're making it worse by pointlessly flaming a group. And it doesn't matter how detailed your character is if no one is interested in interacting with you since you pissed off pretty much everyone IC))

Innocent? YOU THOUGHT! Might not be terrorists, but they shady.

What "known contact" between ILF and the Intaki Syndicate? Did you actually do any research on us at all or did you just run a query for the word 'Intaki' and hope to get lucky?

Some of our past and current members have familial ties to that area of space, which gives them reason enough to go there from time to time, but as a corporation and alliance, Syndicate is outside our area of operations. The Intaki Syndicate itself is a known haven for criminals. I'm told even the Intaki Space Police aren't shy about admitting their ties to the underbelly of Syndicate society.

It would be hypocritical for ILF to decry the actions of pirates like the Serpentis in Placid but agree to work with Syndicate groups like that. Our Suresha will have nothing to do with the Syndicate in its current state, so there is no "proof" of anything you say.

The exiles are to be commended for their perseverance in the face of meddlesome Federation arrogance, and certain lessons can be learned from their experience and certain achievements. But they ought to be pitied for the path they chose which has fostered such proliferation of crime and illegality. There are other, honorable groups in Syndicate working to rout out crime and piracy there, and ILF wishes them all the best luck in those efforts.

To be fair, the 'shady' Syndicate groups you are trying to link us to aren't terrorist groups either, to my knowledge. They're just on the wrong side of the law. If you're not careful you're going to bring them down around your head. Pretty sure they'll do worse than speak sternly in response to your accusations about them.

But speaking of shady, how exactly is ILF 'shady'? Again you make unsubstantiated claims and you just expect people to believe you?
