GG / GW
If a country were beset by John Robb’s global guerrillas, could a 5GW organization operate openly? In particular, I am thinking if you actually have a land where forming a central government is impossible, a 4GW movement may proceed to manipulate actors in order to create a situation where the correlation of forces is working toward a result that is perceived by the actors to be beneficial to their own personal goals and desires?

Interesting thought Dan,
I have always seen 5GW as being very, very goal oriented so I think it would depend a great deal on the end result the 5GW organization is working toward. However, an environment where a 5GW organization can play all sides against the middle would be an ideal setting for manipulation of actors. This would be even easier in an area without a strong, centralizing, broadly-based, organization such as a government. I would think a 5GW organization could very well openly operate in this sort of environment, but the ability to hide its form would likely be so beneficial to its operations that I doubt it would be inclined to pass up the opportunuity to do so.
