You quickly repurpose most of your textile factory intro producing nuclear missiles and other explosives. Your enemies have no need for clothes, it's hot where they are going.

You launch your nukes like it's going out of style, and unlike the jokes in this quest, the bombs totally land!

Unfortunately, Tammy predicts your move and fires first! while also evacuating the capitals of her cities almost completely. A lot of your bases and cities get seriously damaged, even your anti-missile defenses can do so much.

Moreover, your attemps at turning the other Guide-holders against each other fails spectacularly. You send Hakim's people a picture of Tammy eating pork, but he doesn't care about that since he found out his one true god was money. You tell Pablo and Aiku Ms. Claus hates wildlife when in truth she gave them some penguins and koalas as a gift last Christmas.

Soon enough everybody who has nukes is throwing them at you.
Things explode. Everything everywhere all at once.Most of your cities in North America are turned to slag, except New Jersey and San Francisco, you bomb those yourself, no one can steal that pleasure.

America, Europa, Africa (again?!) and Asia are borderline Mad Max'ed and the Earth just got a lot hotter. You are become Strong Financially Independent Wo-Mann, Destroyer of Worlds.
Most everyone runs out of nukes and it's gonna take like a year for their military bases to make more.

As if things weren't bad enough, something terrible has happened!

Mrs. Claus, with her bullshit Holiday powers, has shown up at one of your safehouses and kidnapped your drop-dead gorgeous boyfriend!

"Myahahaha! Go to the North Pole and drop your Charming Financial Guides at these coordinates of your lovepuppy gets it!"

What dastardliness! You know full well if she gets those Guides, she will mind control you and won't be able to date your smoking hot boyfriend anymore!

Not sure what to do for a trap tbh, but I have some ideas others can incorporate:
-Kidnap some elves and replace some non-critical organs with bombs.
-Since it is the north pole, a nuclear submarine could probably just breach anywhere throwing everyone who was on the ice into the water.
-There are other WMDs other than nuclear, like gas and biological agents.
-Do we really care about our boyfriend, or is it just the principle of it?
-Russian Santa is blue


(also sidenote that there are tons of public bunkers in Scandinavia, so we may want to sweep thru those places at some point cuz most of society could have survived. Including our adversaries.)

Of course you care about your sexy ass boyfriend, he is the best dog-brained stud in the whole wide world! Probably the only one, too.

>There are tons of public bunkers in Scandinavia, so we may want to sweep thru those places at some point cuz most of society could have survived. Including our adversaries.
Oh, Tammy totally survived! She saw your attack coming with her creepy future-seeing powers and she evacuated most of the people and useful crap from the main cities. Right now she is probably rebuilding things before she comes back with a vengeance.

That's it! Desperate times call for desperate measures! You employ the book of demonology you gained at the start of your journey to summon yet another spawn of darkness from the depths of Hell.

And look! It's none other than gAyb, the protagonist from the world famous graphic novel series Rat Sex and Furry Fae Futanare.
After Stuart Little and Ratatouille, folks were horny for rats and mice like never before in history, so when that series hit the shelves, it took the world by storm as people rushed to the stores to buy them.

You no longer feel so bad about pulverizing so many of them in atomic hellfire.

"gAyb!", you command, "I know from your comic that you can use portals to teleport anywhere, I need you to infiltrate Santa's Village and do a few things for me."

"ok", says gAyb in his characteristic usual personality that this quest author absolutely knows because he totally read that story.

A couple days later, you and a handful of your forces reach the expected meeting point, not too far off the coast in the Artic. An army of elves armed with flying sleds and polar bears stands around your super-hot-bun-fresh-off-the-bakery boyfriend as far as the can see.

One of the elves beside him takes a step forward. "Hand over the Charming Guides! And no funny business!"

As your Air forces make venison of the reindeer sleds above and the roar of bears and screaming of elves fills the tundra around you, all is well.
Suddenly, a snowdrift quickly rises from the horizon and quickly approaches you, coalescing into a snowy tornado, out of which Mrs. Claus appears. She looks happy to see you!

"You pr*ck-haired dog-f&#&#! You destroy my f%#&# village and kill half my f/&$&$ elves, I'm going to wreck your s$&# , you b#$"!"

"She may have perverted the once peaceful ways of boreandorei elves to serve her thirst for conquest", Legolas expresses in his signature elegant voice, "But at least she is not murdering them end mass!", he yells in rightful indignation.

Sadly, dear Mister Rogers passed away in 2003. Whoever unleashed the Financial Guides upon the world was either not active at the time, or was too afraid of the protective aura good uncle Fred casted upon those he made contact with.

>Get a chalk board, and teach her a lesson, literally.

Santa employs his powers to summon an illustrative chalkboard that displays several charts and schematics and begins expound on them as he and his wife unleash beams of Festive Energy upon each other.

-"So you see, by deciding to rely on merchantile magic and enter the global market, you have made the North Pole dependant on outside revenue and a constant need to balance a GDP in order to produce ludicrous items that only serve to satisfy a military expansion industry we shouldn't even have in the first place!"

Meanwhile, Legolas puts on a display of acrobatics that is the envy of any Man as he gracefully dodges bullets and fires arrows upon your PR employees-turned-stormtroopers. He mostly shoots to wound, though, 'cause they are your mind-controlled slaves and he is a jolly good guy.

gAyb, having mastered the ability after countless nights of debased intimacy, flawlessly presses his tail against his back, concealing out of sight as he opens a portal to the flooded ruins of Isengard.

Legolas, upon seeing his short stature, oversized nose and ears, jutting teeth and ridiculously hirsute feet, confuses him for a hobbit and immedeatedly experiences PTSD. Seeing him standing over a boulder near the White Tower, he feels compelled to rescue him and rushes towards gAyb as the portal closes behind him.

Mount Doom is now mostly inhert after being reduced to Middle-Earth's largest pile of destritus, but the fall breaks a good number of Mrs. Claus' fingers and toes. You hope a week of eating nothing but volcanic rocks will teach her some manners.

After your victory over the Guide-holders, you, your drop-dead gorgeous boyfriend and your new friends take the time to rest, comingle, and take care of the wounded, and boy howdy, are there a LOT of wounded.

After a week, you and the many Santas decide to part ways, with them returning to their respective universes. YOUR Santa thanks you for all the help with mending and burying the dead and injured elves and sets forth to take his wife back and hopefully rebuild the Village. Everybody is so happy, they seem to have forgotten that you are an amoral money-grubbing businesswoman in possession of all seven Financial Guides.

You last see gAyb with a small posse of elven supermodels as he goes to help Santa with the rebuilding. Knowing him, he's probably planning to aid in the repopulation effort.

As you return home to North America, you discuss with your juicy ass boyfriend the ways in which you are going to rebuild and reorganize the world now that you are basically its undisputed ruler. Your boyfriend proposes decontaminating the areas affected by the nuclear Armageddon and prioritizing enviromental efforts and the stocking of foodstuffs to reduce the damage of the on-coming fallout. You suggest building a giant, fully functional Scinfaxi instead.

As you and what remains of your troops disembark on your homeland, you are momentarily blinded by an all encompassing flash of light. After a few seconds, the light subsides somewhat to reveal what appears to be a man in a striped jacket and brown moccassins floating at the center of the beaming light, surrounded by a chorus of cherubs dressed in only the finest, hamiest, dankest swag.

You immedeatedly recognize the man as none other than David Bib, creator of the Charming Financial Guides. Telemarketer and online salesman par exellence and master of all forms of invasive marketing!
You know, David Bib? The guy who's contact mail link is on the first post of this thread? That scummy fucker.


Slowly, David lowers himself to the ground and walks up to you, a coy and menacing smile etched on his face.

"Strong Financially Independent Wo-Mann!", He says with a soft yet firm voice that is almost impossible to resist, "Congratulations! You seem to have won my special little contest. You see, I created the Guides not just to teach others the way to quick effective economic solvence for the low, low price of $29.99 but to make them hunger for it, lust for it, KILL for it."

"I sold over a thousand Guides in just a year, knowing full well their holders would not remain content with their little fiefdoms of mind slaves. No, they would soon turn on each other and seek to take all that power for themselves. And so it happened, until only 7 Guides and ONE holder survived."

"Now, with all possible opposition dead or subjugated, the world is ripe for ME to take the reins of as the One True Independent Financier...... or perhaps, not the ONLY one!"

"You have proven yourself to be assertive and unrelenting in your endeavours. You scorched four continents with atomic fire, sure, but nothing that can't be fixed with time, coordination and lots of mind-control. I see you are as ruthless as me, and I find that intriguinly appealing."

He then lift his right hand, offering it to you, "Join me, Strfindent! Ditch this looser and become MY girlfriend! We can rule together, as businessman and businesswoman! Together we can reshape the Earth, nay! The galaxy, nay! The UNIVERSE in our image and never want for lack of financial indepence EVER AGAIN! Will you do yourself the honour?"


Wh- what? Dating HIM? A-and ditch your smooth-as-silk boyfriend? NO, you couldn't! You woudln't!

But.... the power...the luxury....the sweet deals so low-priced it's basically theft just one click away! It's almost irresistible! Oh, what will you choose?

You silently channel the power of your Financial Guides to command one of your sharpshooters to fire David's nether region.

At the last fraction of a second, however, the almighty salesman's luminous aura turns into a shield that blocks the bullet with ease.

"I offered you partnership and you spat on my manhood. Die!", he says as he blasts you with a ray of pecuniary power.

Just as he sees David lifting his hand towards you, your sharp as nails and hot as hell boyfriend pushes you away and cashes in on the Third Law of Motion to push himself to the opposite side of the ray, narrowly saving you both from certain death.

As you start falling back behind your troops, David's profit angels swoop down your soldiers, who let fly with everything they've got.

One of your PR troops manages to graze David's leg with a bullet, tearing off a chunk of his pants and leaving an appreciable portion of his calve exposed to the elements.

"Oh, hell, no! We are not doing this!", David exclaims in annoyance.

You both halt the battle momentarily and calmy wait for an angel to bring your foe a pair fresh pantaloons before resuming the skirmish.

Challenge him to a vile and twisted empathy-preserving contest, where both of you are injected with pure empathy and must hold it for 24 hours while committing some of the worst war crimes possible. Whoever manages to commit a higher quantifiable sum of the worst possible crimes against sapient life within 24 hours, or holds on to their empathy when their opponent loses it entirely, survives the divine judgement beam.

You fight like a mad dog in heat and your soldiers follow suit. As bad guys, more bad guys and explosions extend as far as the eye can see, your hot-piece-of-boyfriend, Bark-ley, steppes forth within eyeshot of David.

-"I'll say, I'll say," he says, "I do not think this will really get us anywhere without a lot of unnescesary blood. I propose we have some sort of challenge to determine who is the superior financer, with the losing party submitting completely to the fate the other chooses."

-"What makes you think I would ever agree to such a thing?", David asks.

-"The fact that I just called for reinforcements, we control most of the planet and you can only call forth so many swag angels."

-"Hmph, I suppose I am in a rather risky situation right now. Very well, I agree, but what challenge would we take part in to settle this mess?"

-"Probably something you are both very proficient at, such as marketing and salesmanship. A test on who can make the most people buy even the most inane item could-"

-"I propose getting all hypersensitive and see who can still blow stuff up without being a little bitch!", you pitch in, momentarily ceasing to pluck one of the Cherub's wings.

-"Wait..."

>Empathy challenge to the death!

You and David both proceed to go take a whole of chill pills from the nearest pharmacies, watch Titanic, All Dogs Go to Heaven, and all other iconic humanizing movies, and finally take a three-week sensitivity course from H.R. It's super effective.

Afterwards, you both start to tear the world a new one while bawling your eyes out and trying your best not to break apart. Bombing villages, poisoning reefs, reigniting the odd dormant volcano. For more than a week, you both wreack havoc upon the lands, no crime too great or too petty and making you both quite unpopular among the non-mind-controlled population.

It is quite a taxing and frankly excrutiating experience, but it all comes to a head about 9 days into the constest, when you perform your most massively loathed crime of all.

Sparing a moment to check your social media before heading out to spray napalm on Cambodia, you post a line of Tweets complaining about a Non-Profit Organization's decision to use the term "people with cervix," saying it makes it feminity too abstract for Financially Independent women like you.

Almost immedeatedly, your feed erupts with angry comments accussing you of being a close-minded bully. Your posts get everyone so mad, even celebrities jump on to condemn your bigotry, including the entire Harry Potter cast, who had previously worked with you on your famous economically-edificating contribution to the wizarding world, Harry Potter and the Ridiculous Exchange Rate of Galleons.

Among the cast is none other than David Thewlis, the actor who played Remus Lupin. He looks so handsome under the full moon. Kind of reminds you of your irresistible siren call boyfriend, before his run in with Legolas. You can't take this much rejection from him, not your lovely Remus! It's too much, you can't go on.

You give David a call saying that he has won, and you both meet up and spend an additional 5 minutes on social media to regain your average levels of anger and sociopathy.
David then starts to beam triumphantly.

"Muahahaha! You led me a merry chase for my money, but in the end it takes more than a few strifing runs through a hospital complex to deter a true telemarketer! I would give you a place among my most priced thrift shop leutenants, but I remember you trying to shoot me last time I gave a similar offer. Prepare to die!", he says, channeling his deathly beam of light as he nears the end.


You lost the challenge, but you still have one final chance to save yourself and continue the fight. You still have your 7 Charming Financial Guides, you just need to come up with a plan clever or crazy or clever-crazy enough to turn the tide on Bib.

Of course! Maybe if you reshape your identity, David's luminous attack will not be able to lock onto you and instead destroy his own greed-filled carcass!

You focus all your strength and mental fortitude into altering your self-perception into the identity of a man. Within the deepest recesses of your heart, you also reshape your very moral compass, changing your goals and motivations into those of piety, kidness, frugality, and above all, self-giving.

In but a few moments, you somehow manage to reinvent yourself from the ground up into basically the polar opposite of yourself. The mental and spiritual change is so thorough, no supernatural weapon would be able to find your old self within you.

You are David Bib. Once a grand salesman and company spokeperson famed the world over, now undisputable CEO of your own megacorporate enterprise and absolute ruler of the entire world.

The fallout of the nuclear Armageddon Wo-Mann the other Financial Guide dimwits waged against each other soon descends upon the planet like a death shroud, but you are an expert resource administrator, so you know how to prioritize.
After ten years of climate change, famine and radioactive pollution, over 3 billion deaths add to the final toll upon an already decimated world, but from the ashes rises an empire of gaudy-claded angels, mind-controlled legions, and bots, lots and lots of bots!

Your forces and chief researchers slowly but surely clean up the worst of the nuclear fallout with cold, infallible accuracy. 4 billion mind drones working as one tends to get results one would not get otherwise.

In the following decades, your empire creates new, greater cities and technology, better than in the days of yore. Innovation and economic growth spread at a practically unprecedented level, and space and interreality science flourishes like never before, all in the name of one singular purpose: spreading the brand name!

Within a mere thirty years, your satellites send out publicity pitches through the whole cosmos, your deep space probes carry Charming Financial Guides to new and uncharted worlds, and your top scientist develop portal technology that allows you entry into other dimensions.

Your word and influence spread like wildfire wherever you go, a wildfire that burns and destroys, yes, but also one that lights a bright new path towards a better tomorrow. A tomorrow united under your one and supreme monopoly.
