RE: Team Building?? WIMPS!!
Well, I didn't say it would be easy. We'd definitely need to split up into teams...one to handle the alarm systems, one to handle the landmines, one to somehow fend off May's bullets. And then, even if we somehow capture May, I'd bet he's got all sorts of dead-man stuff like poison gas and whatnot. It'd be like a big game of D&D, not that any Cypehrpunk knows what THAT is! And yeah, there's a good chance someone's not gonna make it. But think of it like this: Those genes were slowing down our species anyway. The only problem is, what do we do once we're in? Throw a big-ass drinking, whoring Shriners-like party? (I say we need a bevvy of black hookers.) Break into May's survivalist supplies? Oh, and we DEFINITELY need video. -TD

Not unless you wish to meet YahWah , Allah, Jesus,Buddha(pick your favorite deity!) early :)
Tim is a VERY GOOD shot and the property is watched and alarmed.
so My opinion Tyler? Feel free to win Darwins Award!!..
A cypherpunk
ps. Tim has an Excellent Taxidermist, Your pelt and head will be displayed in grand fashion:)
BTW a spell checker would be a good gift to yourself(think about thunderbird)
ie "Cypherpunk 'team-building' excersize? "
psps let me know when you plan to try so I can shoot live video of the Firefight, should be worth at least 1k to the local TV stations :)
also think about a vest of tubes of tannerite(exploding targets), that way when Tim scores, the viewers of the video will know you have been hit!!
think of it as evolution in action

Yeah, but can we eat food, drink beer, shoot drugs and screw expensive hookers at Tim May's "compound"?

Teamwork is essential here. Maybe attract a lightning with a rocket on a wire[1], the induced current will do the job with the sensors around. Optionally annoy the sensors with spurious alarms until they get written off as unreliable[2]. Keep disabling the technicians that come to check/repair them[3], until the base staff either runs out of technicians or writes off the sensors. Technology can be a strength, but overreliance on it is a weakness. [1] I believe lightning researchers do this, in addition to having labs on tops of skyscrapers. See eg. <http://bat.nmt.edu/galeski/>. [2] US agents did it with sugar pellets shot at the windows of the Russian embassy in Washington, DC, during the thunderstorms that are frequent there. The vibration sensors were causing false alarms, so they were disconnected. Then one night the agents successfully penetrated the object. Same with rebels in Afghanistan attacking Russian bases. (Bruce Schneier, Beyond Fear, page 56: <http://www.granneman.com/personal/commonplacebook/security/bruceschneiersbeyondfear.htm>) [3] I think it was used during WW2. The comm wires were cut, then the soldier dispatched to check the failure was ambushed. Used frequently by guerrillas fighting Germans in the mountains.
one to handle the landmines,
Optionally just add couple more mines and then wait.[4] [4] As a classic joke says. A farmer had a pumpkin field. Neighbourhood boys were stealing them. One day, he put up a sign: "One of the pumpkin is laced with cyanide." In the evening, he found scribbled there: "Now they are two".
one to somehow fend off May's bullets.
History books are full of prior art. Or just drive a remotely controlled tank in. Or modify the strategy. As Sun Tzu says, the best battles are the ones won without fighting.
And then, even if we somehow capture May, I'd bet he's got all sorts of dead-man stuff like poison gas and whatnot. It'd be like a big game of D&D, not that any Cypehrpunk knows what THAT is!
It would be closer to a LARP.

The best fun often has the highest price.
The only problem is, what do we do once we're in? Throw a big-ass drinking, whoring Shriners-like party? (I say we need a bevvy of black hookers.) Break into May's survivalist supplies?
Don't worry. Look at the Iraq Desert Adventure planning stage. Who needs a post-victory plan?

Considering its origins, and our own, I'd like to think that we could make the whole thing as close to a Shadowrun[1] as possible. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadowrun -- Riad S. Wahby rsw@jfet.org

Why not wait for him to leave the house and then pick him off? If necessary, jam one of his video cameras or shoot it with a silenced rifle from afar. When he ventures forth to determine what's wrong with it, shoot him in the head. Once he's dead, frustrating the alarm company is even easier. Then you have all the time you want to disarm mines, ransack the compound, hold an Iraqi/Libyan hooker party, and prank call the White House and the NSA (just before closing time; no sense in being around when the feds show up, though perhaps they'd give everyone a reward for eliminating TCM). -- Certainly there is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never really care for anything else thereafter. --Hemingway, Esquire, April 1936
Well, I'd consider killing May as a big de-merit...if he's alive and conscious we can get video of his reaction to our monkeying around with all his stuff (including perhaps mass-mailing his PGP keys to feds and whatnot). Or else maybe just get a black drag queen to give the ole coot a lapdance. -TD
