Buggers Poster


Groups: Empowerment HQ Tags:

This poster is a reference to Ender's Game, Starship Troopers, 300 and the swarm of buggers that threatened to eat me alive in Pugsly's kitchen. Like some Persian million bug army they came in wave after wave, defeating all my attempts at constraining their food supply. I've come to terms with what must be done: scorched earth. Leave no bugger alive. Man's mistake was to believe that he could coexist with, tolerate or even control the alien, but I've seen what they do when they get their insectoid antennahold into human habitations and it isn't pretty. I've played SimAnt. I know all about the real Bugger Agenda. They'll stop at nothing till we're subjugated under their buzzing disease ridden blight. They already control the 99% of the Earth that isn't indoors. So I say this far and no further. We're drawing a line in the sand or dirt or porch or whatever we've got outside our house: this far and no further! There are those of us who are prepared to stand up to this bugger menace. This poster is for the brave marines, pilots and yes cooks of the Insecticide Fleet. To those who are on the front lines fighting buggers in the air and on the countertops, we are behind you. We all must do our part to drive the buggers from our homeland so that cleanliness shall not perish from the earth.

Restock HQ Groceries


Groups: Empowerment HQ
Status: 
open (a template)

"The newest member of the order will always be the one who does the food run to the surface. They head up to the surface in their robes and take whatever money the monks have acquired to buy bags of SCRAP. They'll have these huge sacks of food they carry down."

Tales From The Afternow, In The Sticks

This is an open mission grocery list for the Empowerment HQ. Each time you go for a grocery run, take on this open mission.

What to Restock?: When groceries reach restock minimums, restock them to maximum levels so that we rarely run out of things.

Buy how many?: To find out how many of each restocking item we need, subtract the amount we have from the maximum we should have.

Adjust List: Feel free to add new items to the open mission's list or to adjust the minimum and maximum stocking numbers.

Empowerment House 2

I am a strong supporter of the movement to start a second, more primary empowerment house. I am currently traveling California, and I am interested in living in Santa Barbara in order to support and take part in the Empowerment. There are many ways the house could be structured. a very empowered possibility would be a 5 bedroom house, who's inhibitors were all web developers / designers. Each member would be empowered with there own project, as well as put time and effort into adding to this website. We would work together on web related projects.

actual HQ

If a real intentional community started up I'd still be interested in migrating, myself.  I come with at least 1 if not 2 other people.
