Even in 2005 this was stupid.
Gonna need some ointment for that burn.
It's more stupid now, but it was still not feasible when it was written.
Oh no. The military is not defoliating a rain forest that is home to numerous endangered species.
That said, still better than a lot of shit I see being put out in mainstream movies.
Yes they will. Those objections are out the window when you do shit like this.
They come down on you like a tonne of bricks, they did then and they do now.
They might not even need defoliants.
I mean it would certainly be cheaper now.
But they wouldn't be that concerned about budget anyway.
Part of the idea is there are still parts of the Unites States, probably closer to where you are right now that you think. Are still so isolated that you could pretty much get away with anything if you manage to keep it low key enough.
Now too be fair. You have to have a pretty high IQ to understand my writing...
And I'm saying the same thing I was earlier, organised kidnap AND detainment is not sustainable unless you have VERY good opsec, even then it might not be.
For this to work you have to:
1) Tone down the shit that brings down the heat.
2) Increase the capacity to avoid said heat.
Given how severely unviable it is, almost certainly both.
Also:
For this group, either technology use wins, or death wins.
Wtf is going on lol
Tragically, this is still a much better premise than so much of what I see.
Ebow is giving me useful info on a story i wrote like thirteen years ago.
A lot of this shit isn't even my speciality, just the kind of retardation you see in movies.
For what it's worth, and I am not using this as an excuse, I think stuff needs to be as accurate as possible and deviations from baseline reality need to be minimalized for maximum effect. This book series is supposed to be both a comedy and pulp novel revival.
Eb is right though with tech stuff. You can probably have a couple of furries really good with tech that help keep the group hidden for realism purposes
You need more than a couple.
These things require teams.
I suggest modifying some of their central ideology; humans themselves are impure and trapped by their own machinations, and the system will do everything it can to protect itself. To break the system will likely require a lot of technological prowess and resources.
(They can't survive or even exist in the first place without technology, so there has to be an ideological workaround that gives them carte blanche to use it.)
I will think on that. It's supposed to be about two people fighting quite a few monsters in the forest. Not a small army.
Like with communism, we have the dictatorship of the proletariat now, THEN use that to create our retarded, impossible utopia.
Well that IS what they're trying to do.
It's why they're so keen on getting the third gens to successfully breed. It would mean they can creat a sustainable populace and don't have to rely on human tech.
Well, their ideology either provides Carte Blanche to use technology "just in this phase of it"(lol), or they don't really ever get started.
Because they'll still need tech to achieve what they want in the later stages.
However, they would still be using things like guns and swords. Not because they are effective weapons, but because they look cool.
That's how thin their idealolgy is. Much like real furries.
A lot of this came from me seeing furries adamantly try to deny their humanity and go on about how terrible human are. It's a constant theme among them.
Or was fifteen years ago anyhow.
While at the same time they could never give up the human made internet. The thing that empowers them.
