Guy Fawkes - part of a conspiracy to blow up the then King of England. Motivated by the King's persecution of Catholics - Guy Fawkes was a Catholic and wanted the death of the King to lead to the instating of a Catholic king who would not persecute Catholics.
Occupy protestor in 'V' mask - part of an 'anti-capitalism' protest. Motivated by economic inequality - Occupy want greater redistribution of wealth so that they can enjoy greater prosperity.
Guy Fawkes - knew exactly what he wanted: an end to systematic religious persecution.
Occupy protestor in 'V' mask - isn't really sure what they want: complains about 'capitalism' but talks about fairer wages (wage labour being a core element of capitalism).
Hardly comparable.

AoG: just consider the following picture my response to any of your posts from now on:
Sexytoxin: I'm on the brink of finishing a game, after which I will have a free slot (on my 4-game-max-because-this-site-is-too-stingy account) for you. That free slot cannot come soon enough for me.

f*ck THAT. That defeats my entire strategy of getting you into 5 games, reporting you as a multi, and then grabbing all the points from those games when your troops convert to neutral. Consider yourself
DISINVITED.

Time-Warner holds the rights to the mask. So every protester with 'em contributes to big business.
People should make their own masks!

An Osama mask? He masterminded a Fawkes-esque terrorist attack on what was perhaps the pinnacle of world capitalism.
A kind of... 21st century Fawkes?

Taking away the fruits of people's labour = high taxes on high earners?
