He got the kids to file reports against an undisclosed/never-explained "enemy" (elements, there, of both Kafka and Orwell)...turning the yoof of Britain into, well, KGB informers...
He also issued special codes to the kids and got them to speak in a secret language. All stuff that I thoroughly approve of...in fact, I'm thinking of revamping my blog and running it along similar lines: creating a sort of Spy/Sci-Fi Adventure Club for jaded, middle-aged, navel-gazing, alt-culture nerds bored w/ life and looking to meet silver-skinned space empresses and unfeasibly gorgeous, exotic and leggy Czech double agents. We'd speak our own secret language and have a decoder-cube that you could only get from joining my blog-club. I would send special Kafka-esque "instructions" to my crack global team of Agents that would involve us assembling at AMT gigs and Pulp Book fairs, getting pissed and plotting the downfall of Kapital. Time to start dreamin' again, kids...
i don't think you'll need to change much... just replace the new weird Finn folk and Moorcock cover artists references with some Lesbian Nazi League members, the odd Cultish She and a sprinking of wire-framed Herr Flicks and you'll be away... I'm sure Dom Zero, Effay, Psychbloke et al will have a flash at heroics...
incidentally, a friend of mine set up The Pink Umbrella Organisation for Nazi Lesbians at the old Poly of North London in order to get the set-up cash from the Uni and two turned up demanding a full set of activities... they're out there and they need to be stopped...
Yep, anything you like (tho' I fancy it might be an amorphous non-hierarchical conceptual kind of 'organisation'...but you can assign any rank (or name) to yrself that you like...'Colonel'.)
Passwords, secret handshakes, the works...I just loooove Secret Societies, but this is the first one to, er, announce itself on the internet....
We had great fun in my class with this. I remember when LPF's Warlord was being published that the Bullet Comic came out with the Fireball Secret Agents. The kids viewed Warlord Agents as the enemy and started fighting each other! The publishers shit themselves and went to great lengths to remind the kids that LPF was Fireball's Uncle. I always wanted a "Super Spycraft Book" from Warlord for having my letter published. Never happened.

I'm in. Do we get ranks and a secret sign?
