[ot][spam][random][draft] chipmunk + interstellar war
by Karl 29 Aug '21

The chipmunk looked up at the wormhole nanite missiles being fired by borg supersoldiers over her head. It looked scary. She pulled some leaves and hemlock cones over her hole and scurried back to hide with her family. "What are we going to do?" said little chipmunk to miss chipmunk. "We can't act or even plan," advised miss chipmunk. "They have military time machines that would see the possibility ripples." --- The chipmunk family were digging their hole deeper under a birch tree. The birch tree was part of a tree community that had grown on scattered chunks of broken granite. The granite left holes, where the roots had decided it wasn't efficient to grow, but had still obstructed much dirt from falling in. Deep under the granite stones and hemlock twigs, the chipmunk family set up dinner. When up sniffed a mouse who had found the area already. "Hiding from the time borg?" asked the mouse, worried about the intruders. "Would it be okay? We had a hole just a way over from here. We thought you had moved on last season." "I'm hiding too," the mouse sighed. "I'm hiding, too." --- Two mice and three chipmunks were sitting at a candelit dinner table deep underground. Along came a rodent-like creature with lego blocks for hands and fashion models for eyes. "Room for two m0re?" asked the creature. "I n3ed to hyd from the." The mice and chipmunks were nowhere to be seen.

Why force the USG to work secretly when its more fun to just whine about it? https://theworld.com/~mhuben/cypher.html "... What he misses is that his system, if tolerated, would merely force government to operate secretly rather than openly..."

The Marine Corps Information Operations Center (MCIOC) conducts an Information Warfighter Exercise (IWX) — an event designed to provide training on operations in the information environment (IOE) — one to two times per year. MCIOC asked RAND to help develop a structured wargame for IWX with a formal adjudication process. This document contains the ruleset developed, playtested, and implemented during the 2020 IWX cycle. The IWX wargame is an opposed event in which two teams of players compete in and through the information environment to better support their respective sides in a notional scenario. Teams represent an Information Operations Working Group (IOWG) or information-related Operational Planning Team (OPT), or its adversary force equivalent, as dictated by the scenario. During the game, each team generates a plan for OIE, and players are then called on to add details to their plan, amend that plan dynamically in response to in-game events, prepare discrete game actions as part of plan execution, and make cogent arguments in favor of their team's actions and against the actions of the opposed team. A panel of expert judges uses a structured process and a random element (dice) to adjudicate the success or failure of actions drawn from the players' plans. This document presents the full ruleset for the IWX wargame, including a host of optional rules to allow tailoring the game to specific preferences, needs of the training audience, or scenarios. Handouts and aids for playing the game, as well a brief Player's Guide, are also available for download. Table of Contents Chapter One Introduction to the Information Warfighter Exercise Wargame Chapter Two Detailed Procedures for the Conduct of the Five Steps of the IWX Wargame Chapter Three Preparing for the IWX Wargame Chapter Four Other Considerations Related to the Conduct of the IWX Wargame Annex Methods Used in Developing the IWX Wargame
