New Bundschuh Faction

[SimonBlack]

Propaganda

Keep propaganda personal. Public messaging is fun at first, but gets old fast. Stop a freelancer, talk to him, try to reason, push him into a corner, try some gun-point persuasion. Also, no one will be interested in your views (mostly). What you want to do is to persuade people through credits. Offer him a job, let him trade your goods, offer more permanent position, reveal your political views little by little. Sooner or later RFP will see him, he will be considered Bundschuh collaborator, soon he will be forced to defend himself and he will have no way back soon. It's like taking a bath. It's important not to push the person too much. Dip toes first, get used to water.

Pirating.

You will pirate and that is fine. Great, even. Sure you can always stop a person talk to him and rough him up if he doesn't agree with your take on Rheinland politics, but piracy will always be there as it allows deeper interaction at times. When pirating make sure the captain knows who you are. Tell him:

"We don't normally do this, but we really need these Light Arms. It would be easier for us all if you collaborate"

Then it's back to propaganda. Also, if someone is overly friendly to you, make sure they prove their worth. If you donate out of good heart, help us more. Bring us followers, join yourself? No? Then we'll teach you a lesson, pretender:P

Overall:

I like vanilla. This is vanilla proposal. Simple, clean and to the point as it should be. Regarding criticism... the possibility to join Volksfront remains, but if these guys pull it off and get many enthusiastic members...I'd say then VF should join them instead.
