Oh I don't know... Broadcasting it on all major networks as the latest fad that is Corrupting Our Nation's Morals and Ruining Our Youth would have the same feel as those "rainbow parties" or "shoving alcohol up your ass" or whatever idiocy they feel like promoting. Thus it can automatically be assumed they're running the You Can Panic Now schtick.

The first reaction of the public would be "This can't be real", "It's a fake", "It's a publicity stunt".
Evidence mounts. Dozens of unconnected people confirm the story. The formerly-mindwiped undergo total recall and present more damning evidence. There's at least one person in the world who knows the location of a huge city that wasn't there just a second ago.

Eventually, someone in one of the lesser-protected communities is caught. There's a half-dozen towns in the starting country alone that are filled with sorcerers, and around fifty single-street communities. They blab about larger ones, about the worldwide network of magical governments.

The question goes from "Who are these people?" to "What do they have to hide?". They've been hiding for thousands of years.

The ones who are prejudiced against mortals lash out. The world learns that every single one of these people are dangerous.

Raids are carried out. Sorcerers captured. At some point, the mortals stumble across a mortal community that's in league with a group of vampires, who don't take kindly to their food source being "rescued".

But here's the thing: bullets kill these people just as easily as they'd kill normal people. They're outnumbered. They can put out a lot of power, but they go down easy.

And they know this. And they will do anything to stop this scenario. And they've got quite a lot they can do about it.

So try not letting this happen.

Chabal, you do know Tatu and Menardi are, like, in an alternate Space Base, all by themselves?

They are? Removing both.

Wait. Well isn't this a pile-up.

Chabal: Downside of the memory magic. Too much evidence that goes against what they think happened and they go into total recall.

The orks have an area anti-electrical anything, that'll fry the electronics. Besides, maybe someone'll signup with appropriate powers.

If all else fails, gas leak.

...what.

This has not been mentioned before. Why hasn't this power broken everything on Team Science?

There is nothing so weird and inexplicable it can't be brushed under the rug with the magic words "viral advertising campaign".

Ah.

But anyway, the population of the world won't just dismiss everything as marketing stunts. Because this is my challenge idea, therefore I would GM it, and because I say so. tongue

Which world is it, anyway? I had a feeling we were headed towards a cross between Harry Potter and whichever storyline has public opinion turns against the X Men.

Ork technology shouldn't work anyway; it all runs on copious amounts of Clap Your Hands If You Believe. I remember something about not trying to convince an Ork that a stick is a gun, because they will somehow make it fire bullets and kill you.

The degree to which that works varies. 7th ed (the one we're on now), has toned it down and made ork meks relatively more competent.

There was a hilariously defensive rant on the subject over on Never Live It Down.

It's always a case of Depending on the Writer anyway, Ciaphas Cain (HERO OF THE IMPERIUM) once led a dozen or so ork vehicles, all crewed by humans, for several weeks, and they worked well enough.
