Actually, I think they tried to poison salad bars with salmonella, but close enough. They tried to kill original residents, and take over.

I think if I bought a town, and tried to make a fiefdom, I might take a page out of the Rajneesh playbook. His cult attracted a bunch of upper middle class people with money for the very reason that instead of promoting asceticism, he allowed total sexual license, but employing the hamsterese of *working through your sexual issues*.

This is pure genius from a branding point of view, and he was doing fine until he introduced all of the assault weapons and salmonella.

If you owned a town, and wanted to attract residents, without some sort of spiritual or sexual hook, it would be tough.

Also, there is something darkly ironic about trying to murder Oregonians by using their salad bars against them.

I would be such an effective cult leader if I was unethical.



It would be so easy to concoct a "spiritual" path that mixes actually effective exercises, my understanding of human nature and the weaknesses with the liberation of sexual limitations and thus "finding yourself" and experiences the enlightenment through sexual bliss.

As a cult leader I would make it a rule to fuck all the women under 30 - also daily mandatory group "therapy" sessions with the dear leader would be obligatory.

That is literally the best reason for owning a town, but nothing else beyond that.
