#9 A little exercise... Create a Threat Board...
1) First, make a list of Terrorist Asshats running "states". Those who want to do bad shit.
2) Second, a list of Whores running "states" - that have "bad things, very bad things" to offer the first list, if the price is right.
NOTE: a "state" can be on BOTH lists.
3) Build a matrix with the first list across the top, second list down the left.
4) Put a weighted value in each box:
3 = either entity has unlimited cash and driven by ideology alone
2 = seller has bad stuff & buyer has cash
1 = seller has bad stuff & buyer has trade goods or tech
0 = either seller has nothing to offer or buyer is busted flat; poor chemistry
5) Add 'em up across the bottom and down the right.
There's you target list, whether the actions are military, economic, political, diplomatic, etc - already prioritized from highest to lowest...
Just for fun, ya see. |
