> I think we should expect this kind of thing from teenagers: there's a certain level of out of the box thinking and risk to reward inversion that comes from youth. Brazen solicitation of associates / operatives on public forums is certainly unique, and not a tactic which most other actors would pursue due to the risk involved. Reminds me of: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ender's_Game https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ender's_Game Hoping to earn himself expulsion from the school for his ruthlessness, he sacrifices his entire fleet to fire a Molecular Disruption Device at the planet. The Device completely destroys the planet and the surrounding bugger fleet. He is shocked to hear the I.F. commanders cheering in celebration. Mazer informs Ender that the "simulations" he has been fighting were real battles, directing human spacecraft against Formic fleets via an ansible's instantaneous communication, and that Ender has won the war.
