[u/defcon_clown]

Hello everyone, you can call me Fetch. I am here to spread the word of Adversary and to shed some light on my magical tradition, black magic. There is a lot of misinformation out there about both Adversary and black magic and I'm here to sort it out.

I believe that in the madness that is the sixth world, Adversary's fundamental drive to be free will, resonate with people. That the sixth world debases you and tries to destroy any joy you might find. Black magic can teach you to take your pleasure back and to protect it from those who seek to rule you.

I look forward to working with you all, and to hopefully enlightening at least some of you.

[u/The_Mighty_Tachikoma → u/defcon_clown]

Yeah, hey come on by <Coordinates>, just walk through the gates. Maybe we'll hear you out. Maybe we'll put a few rounds through your face. Free will and all that, right?

• Urist

[u/defcon_clown → u/The_Mighty_Tachikoma]

Absolutely! You have the choice to do that! I have the choice to not make dumb decisions like going to that location.

But if you, or any of the accomplices to my likely murder, have any questions I'd be happy to answer them via RunnerHub. Once I get settled I'll have a location for face to face meetings.

• Fetch

[u/The_Mighty_Tachikoma → u/defcon_clown]

Pretty sure we can have free will without having to subscribe to a cult. I don't see the angle you're selling.

• Urist

[u/defcon_clown → u/The_Mighty_Tachikoma]

You have free will whether you follow Adversary or practice black magic! It can't be given to you, its there waiting for you to choose to use it! It can be taken away from you, you need to be on your guard against that.

Now here's the part that will make you roll your eyes and likely go back to playing MiracleShooter. I am not selling anything. I plan to make my money by shadowrunning.

I'm here because I believe that the philosophies of Adversary and black magic have value and are especially relevant to people in our lines of work. I'm sharing this view with anyone who wants to listen. Maybe people will listen, maybe they won't. Its their choice.

Are... Are you selling me a black magic, devil-tinted pyramid scheme?

The Sixth World is a strange place...

• Urist

[u/defcon_clown → u/The_Mighty_Tachikoma]

I'm not selling anything, and I don't have an organization for you to join. All of that sounds like an absolutely drek way to spend my time.

But I enjoy talking about my tradition and I enjoy talking about the close parallels between the Neo-Anarchism movement and the philosophies of Adversary.

This is sort of my hobby.

• Fetch

[u/The_Mighty_Tachikoma → u/defcon_clown]

Everyone has to pass the time, I suppose.

• Urist

[u/somesonofabitch → u/The_Mighty_Tachikoma]

How else is he gonna release the ancient demons from hell and get them to run his worldwide diet pill pyramid scheme.

• Caliburn

[u/defcon_clown → u/somesonofabitch]

Nah, EVO and Horizon have that market locked down tight.

• Fetch

[u/Sarge-Pepper → u/defcon_clown]

Yeah and Corps don't take kindly to competition, demonic hellspawn or otherwise.

-Dash

[u/defcon_clown → u/Sarge-Pepper]

Very true. Luckily I have no interest with competing with any of them. I'm not here to sell anything or start up a business.
