A guide to a Second Income

by Raven

Take that, you bounder!
Greetings, bastards all. As we all know "tax collecting" is an age-old method of paying the rent and anyone can do it. But, as I always say, if you're going to have crime, you might as well have organised crime! So, I have complied an easy to follow guide to plying our trade.

1. Taxing - this old favourite should only be done at night for obvious reasons.

2. Stealth bombing - follow a group of "taxers" round at night and then "tax" them. One easy hit for lots of dosh.

3. The "Guild membership fee." scam - a con scam for all the would-be ninja kids.

4. "Babysitting" - A really good way to kidnap people is to go on the pull (it's fun, too!)

5. Pest control - Assassination pays very well, but poison lore is a must (so is being a bloody fast runner, come to think of it)

6. Pest control (plan B) - instead of hitting your target, sell him the name of your client, but see no 7 for a handy hint.

7. Leave a calling card with another group's name on it. Let them suffer the consequences! A good taxer is anonymous. This can also help to bugger the plot, which is always a bonus. (There's a plot? Against whom? Remy)

8. Bodyguard. A good one is to be paid in advance, the arrange to get hit by your mates

9. Banner bashing - A well organised "collection" on the Sunday night is in order, so that the groups we hit don't have their banners for the battle (what a Bastard thing to do).

10. Every good Bastard needs a diversion sometimes - two of you sneak into a camp and relieve the gate guard. Then all of your mates can come in...

11. The Alternative Plot Crew - Everyone can join the APC simply by spreading malicious rumours about anyone or anything.

12. Bugging the Rozzers - Anything to annoy the militia is good by me, but use your imagination

Anyway, that's all for now. I've already had to kill someone else who was going to have a column this issue. Happy hunting!
