It's not my fault Big Daddy Rogean bent you over and had his way with you, it's your own attitude and the posts it generates.
All you had to do was accept Rogean's original staff compromise. That would have given both FEIB and TMO about 1/3 of all targets, and better ones too considering how great VP is while the casual scum would have split the remaining 1/3 of the targets among 7-8 guilds and gotten something like 5% each.
I think your real problem is that you *know* that batphoning and tracking is retarded, and so you want more people to start doing it so that you have some social proof that you are right.

They were committed, they believed. When the time came to leave, the group made public the coming disaster so the media came to watch. When the saucer didn't show, an atmosphere of despair among the group prevailed. The group had given up so much (property, money, jobs, education) that they could no longer afford not to believe. Next came a revelation from the group leader-because the group had cast so much light upon the world, God had saved the earth. Then came an instruction to publicize the explanation. What they had once kept secret, they now felt the need to publicize in the grandest scale.
Cialdini explains, "If they could spread the Word, if they could inform the uninformed, if they could persuade the skeptics, and if, by so doing, they could win new converts, their threatened but treasured beliefs would become truer. The principal of social proof says so: The greater the number of people who find any idea correct, the more the idea will be correct. The group's assignment was clear; since the physical evidence could not be changed, the social evidence had to be. Convince and ye shall be convinced!"
