The Cyber army has begun

The cyber army has begun.

If you wish to participate,

we need to inform each other immediately and regularly go :

a) vote en mass in net polls

b) to every newspaper site

c) to every radio site

d) to every TV site

e) every Brit nat blog (politely dilute their Brit nat message) & every Scot nat blog (our compatriots sometimes feel isolated for their efforts, comments are appreciated)

f) every Brit nat site that can be used to coordinate against us

g) facebook and twitter (very important to contact the youth who will vote in the referendum in a positive way)

h) comment on (the traffic is needed for future advertisers) promote newsnetscotland.com as widely as possible & encourage people to donate to newsnetscotland and SNP appeals

i) other ideas welcome...

You do as much as want to and remember there are 3 or 4 years till R Day (or should that be I Day?).

We need to direct the cyber debate with a positive message, polite and smart. The Brit nats are sarcastic swine, we have nothing to say to them since their aim is normally to do to us what we need to do to them (see the Scotsman comments section).

Some of you have been doing this forever but our dream has a chance of being realised, now more than ever is the time to activate everything we can.


PM me if you're game.

Why PM? I'm game. I've been gaming since the results came in. Cyber armies aren't something you join. They are a democratic phenomena that emerge out of people's own natural desire to have their voices heard.

But I agree this forum might be a good place for organising certain activities, providing enough people join. It's possible for example that activities by members on this forum may have already significantly skewed the recent economist poll, placing it and Scotland significantly in favour of independence.

Is this democratic? Well I would say yes. These polls aren't legal and binding and at best they are somewhat vox pop. (Meaning that they probably carry little real weight.) But if there are enough of them, then they maybe enough to swing public opinion, especially those who are undecided, in favour of independence.

It's a good idea to sell the 'lite' version too I think, as it can be pushed as simply asking for 'a better deal for Scotland'. Which Scottish person when asked wouldn't support the ideal of a better deal for Scotland, whatever that might mean? (It doesn't even really matter what it means, since better fiscal powers alone, or full independence, or anything and everything inbetween could all be presented in the same way.) If you say 'all we're asking for is a better deal for Scotland', then we all win, no matter what the outcome of any potential full independence vote, because if this is what we ask for then this is almost inevitably what what we will get. The Nats are in something of a win win position right now, unless something terrible goes wrong and they seriously screw it all up. (It could happen.)

I agree but the cyber army's aim is to coordinate the activities.

[jebus197]

I don't know. You'll have problems getting people to 'sign up'. That isn't how these things work.

If it happens it happens, if not then it doesn't. That's democracy.

[THEMADFIFER]

Ah, democracy. But in which form?
And we must remember those of us that are pro nationalismm will vote in the referendum.

How many individuals simply do not vote and what effect would encouraging people to vote either way have?

The mind boggles....!?

The democratic phenomenon is getting bigger.

The cyberscots are getting it on I'm pleased to say.
