Talk:Houston Spies/Archive
From Blaseball Wiki
Welcome to the Houston Spies talk page. I thought this might be a good place to put down some stuff that comes from the discord channel that won't be outright stated on the page (because we're sneaky). This stuff is as canon as you want it to be - it's collaborative storytelling! If you have a fun idea go with it! Canonically I think it's OK for there to be contradictory information about the Spies circulating - we start fake rumours all the time!
- Why Houston? Does it have something to do with Houston's association with space travel? Are we/our management aliens who came to earth on a returning space shuttle? Who could say :)
- We never even said which Houston it was. Or how we're associated with it.
- The primary goal of the houston spies is to destroy capitalism. While the spies' parent organisation has fingers in many pies, they have recognised blaseball as a potential medium for their revolutionary message, provided its latent capitalist tendencies can be snuffed out. The Spies point to the flagrant buying of votes as proof of capitalism's excesses. The Spies also believe that the exchange of peanuts for coins is unacceptable, and access to peanuts shouldn't be dependent on personal wealth.
- We built a very large amount of secret tunnels under Houston. We built an HQ down there, but the tunnel project spiralled out of control and now it's borderline impossible to actually get into the HQ. The operatives staffing the HQ assure us that they're doing fine, after a couple of years underground fungi started growing down there and they farm those for sustenance. Now we use a group chat to organise instead of meeting at HQ.
- Items on this list may be falsified for security concerns. We do this frequently in order to avoid any unfortunate situations in which capitalist forces may want to undermine us. Paradoxically, this item could also have been falsified.
