I have an idea I've been playing around with for a few days now. It all started when this past weekend I watched a few of the old Indiana Jones movies. On to the idea...

A group of us get together to do what I think would be called 'mass baiting'. Our modality would be to discover the anchient riches of the King-god Sango (a real Nigerian king of old) that is buried deep in some remote-ish location (one with internet access nearby, of course). Anyways, we, the baiters, have been contracted either by the US, UK, or Nigerian Government (or maybe even the Smithsonian, ect.) to search and aquire these artifacts and riches. The detail are a lil fuzzy to me still but I think this could lead to some amazing safaris and such. Since we are dealing with governments, there will be plenty of 'grant' money to be shelled out for found clues, artifacts, ect. I'm also thinking there would be some obvious possibilites for corruption to occur (with the grant money and treasure) to keep things confusing and frustrating for the lad recruits.

I did a small amout of research and so I'll share it with you. Here are some links to info on King Sango and his legend.

Question, comments, ideas, collaborators are welcome. My dream for this is to have much of the eater join in and pit lad vs lad on a safari race to find the lost treasure.

Not a bad idea.

Of course with governments there will be plenty of 'contracted representative forms' that will be needed to fill out. It just seems like if we (read: you talented baiters out there) get any fish to bite, the trophies forms/pics, ids, safaris would be plentiful.

Edit: I was just thinkin', by using the Gov modality the WUXer could be eliminated as a government wouldn't trust such an insecure means of transaction. This could lead to giving Alan many new accounts to kill. This idea just keeps growing on me!!!

@The Black Captain Morgan - From the small acorn grew the mighty oak.
Nice idea. Sounds like it could be much fun. Very Happy

EDIT: I just had to find the origin of that phrase about the acorn...

I believe they mention TheGreatOok on that page. So that's where he got his name. Very Happy

The Farce is strong with this one. Thumbs up

Sounds like fun for a massbait, especially if we could get some type of website up.

You could always toss in a little fun from the occult nuts who tout about the train of German (IIRC) gold bricks intercepted during the war that funded the Philadelphia Project and Montauk Point stuff in Connecticut. Heck, there's supposed to be a 10 some odd story titanium pyramid under Montauk Air Force base.

With how supersticious lads are, being able to focus voodoo magic there way and time travel could be great fun!

Way back I suggested to YeaWhatever that we do a safari with a research team in Botswana seeking out the site of a UFO crash in 1992. Now YW has enough safaris to do (and most excellent ones too) - suppose this one can be reactivated? I'd love to give it a try, and no way could I do so on my own...

I'd love to be involved in triggering a safari, but being so new to this would not be able to manage it on my own. I'm more than happy to toss in aid on getting one going! Razz

Montauk Point had all sorts of 'alien' activities connected with its humongous dish, we could even link that all together with the Botswana site ... maybe they're storing the titanium there for the next 10 story solid metal pyramid? Very Happy

I'm flexible, and a 'go with the flow' kinda girl ... I'm game!
