    I didn't say I was accepting recruits or anything, just a general consensus. If that failed, and I needed another job, I could always list it as military service. Retired Commander General. Looks nice on previous job experience

    Cause they wouldn't know since every major government would have informants and spies in your ranks and would be toppled within years.

    I'm sure its hard to try however if you try to take over a small nation build a military promise them whatever as long as they help and keep doing this it'd be easier to accomplish.

    See, governments can only get people into the high ranks that I let in. That's the thing, the KGB was easy to infiltrate, as all you had to do was enlist and work your way up, if I was going to create a world domination force, I would do so in a way that would have only the most trusted individuals at the top, and in a way so that no one individual could over throw the group.
    I studied political theory, social theory, and military theory in amongst some psychology, so I came up with this one day in a class Razz

    As for the world domination? I asked if a self run military would count and they went to it from there Razz

    well actually I believe in quality over quantity. I will place a limit of 1000 trained, well accessed members, I will allow millions to join the outer ranks of protection detail, in which they fend off warriors attacking, and protect my well being, while at the same time, having zero access to anything that may harm it. I will also provide a bonus to anyone who disables/kills someone intending to cause harm to our military

    yea true, however if people find out i have been running the world without them knowing who knows what they'd do thats why I would move to a remote island fully secure it with my own military and government officials have air defense weapons, f-16 fighter jets etc.. Have boats 360 degrees around the island and yea not let anyone outside of my circle know where I am or who I am.

    I think a simple secured location, no fly. Period works. Have a 360degree 100 foot wall, with turrets mounted on top, followed by another fifty foot wall, both completely smooth, would be good for protection. Only let closely trusted individuals in. Keep them happy, and all will be well. Those outside guarding, well they don't get it. Grow your own stuff, and offer the loyalty bonus to those who kill and disable any potential threats. You'll do fine. That's if you wanna be a douchebag of a leader though Razz

    The wall is just to keep the infidels off of my lawn.. I would leave yes, but I want a nice lawn. The extra fifty feet so in the event of a seige, assuming they get to the gattling guns, they then have to destroy a fifty foot wall to shoot at my lawn
