BRILLIANT.



I've been following the "what are we up to now" threads with interest, but I wanted the idea to gel a bit before commenting.


THIS. I want to see more of this in the world. At some point, that's going to come down to Local Action (either with a group, or coordinated separate Local Actions). The Safari idea was almost a perfect online example. We created a Spectacle, because we arrived en-mass and yet refused to follow anyone's "they're just trolls" scripts with actual in-character investigation of the social dynamics of the forums we hit.

It was a good model, but it only really worked at the beginning because we had a unified theme, and a bunch of people WOMPing up images that were in-style for everyone else to use. This dynamic of putting people together with the resources they need(or the people who can churn them out quickly) is pretty clear if you read the above article. That's one lession to take away from this OM.

I'd call it more than a reasonable attempt, and good enough for the 10' rule.

Nope. I see a fly.

Also, actor not retarded enough to be a Hapsburg. -10pts.

Also, the actor doesn't have such a disproportionately tiny head as the Philip IV in the painting does.

Also Hapsburg. I'm surprised the line is still going in Austria and these people somehow managed to untangle their goddamn genes as to not have multiple limbs by now.

If you think Philip was hot, check out his son:

Philip IV when he was older.

Charles II of Spain is son.

Shit yeah, mandibular prognathism ftw.

Like everyone else from Europe, is part Hapsburg, and threw up a lot when she was tracing family lines.
