yeah, considering the amount of money spent on some anons travels, signage, and general faggotry our counter protested costed anons around $2,000 in total. Time spend in "planning" the counter protest practically nothing. Anons just did what we always do, gather as much resources as possible and splatter/zerg rush a target and hope for the best. Anons showed up when they felt like it, and left just the same. We had over 60 anons participate, and the majority of time we had 40 anons. Some anons went from 9am to 6pm, on average though, anons protested for 5-6 hours.
Scifags spent way more time and energy into organizing their event then we spent on how to crash it. In this case, they rented three floors of the elan venue which ment about $6,000 per day, for a week $42,000. They might of just rented one floor, which was about $2,000 though except for the first day, when they rented all 3. In which case it would've been about $18,000.
Since there was scilons from all over the country, some from Nashville even, we can assume they spent more or equal amount of money on travel. If we say that half the scilons were from LA, 200, then the minimum number they spent on the busses was $12,000. This is a good estimate considering that any scilons from Nashville obviously spent more.
$12,000
$18,000 or $42,000.
-------------------
$30,000 or $54,000
Again this is just the cost of renting the place and a bare minimum of travel expenses of the scifags. This not include their permits, food, drinks, entertainment, promotional material, etc
This also doesn't include the cost by Golden Era Studios to make and transport their signs and Tshirts. That's another thing to. If each member there had spent $20 on a tshirt to make their protest seem more legitimate then that's $6,000+ their members spent. Obviously the money went back into feeding the scifag warmachine but still, the ultimate goal of the shirts was for PR reasons, which has failed every time.
The first day was for them to get donations. We don't know how much money they actually were able to raise from their followers to cover that loss.
The first day was most important. They spent the majority of their budget and time planning that first day protest. So did we. Not only do scifags try to get donations that first day, but also tried to make it a public relations party. Anons can't stop idiot scifags from donating money. What we are better at then the scifags is the PR and public image war. Sure, we're retarded, we're probably just as evil as the scifags, but gosh darn, we're easier to get along with, we give free hugs sometimes, the media already has a bias against scifags, and people just like us better. Because of our presence there, at the scifag party, they lost the PR image they wanted to send out. Which means even if they raised more money then they spent, the man hours they used were wasted.
They haven't done this in the last year because of the presence of anonymous. They expected us last year and didn't show up. You can say that they didn't expect us this year.
They might still convince their culties that they won the PR war, but the public knows better. Instead of getting professionals to take them seriously, they are now labeled as a "hate group". We'll have to see later how much damage this seed can do to their reputation.
All of this at minimum cost to anons.
The average local anons cost:
$10 Mask (bought months ago)
$5 poster board (also bought months ago)
$8 Lunch
$8 Bart ticket
3 hour reading forum updates, researching CCHR, fapping, checking twitter, etc.
1 hour travel
----
$31, and 4 hours spent before hand, (and lets say 6 hours raiding,) crashed a party the scifags had spent 2 months worth of planning and a minimum of $50,000+ on.
The most extreme cost for the anons that came were the handful that came from out of town from Oregon and Washington, so add about a day worth of traveling and around $150 for each to the formula above.
At any case, I hope you all enjoyed it.
tl;dr: Agreed. If you were there and were not having fun crashing their party, then you were obviously doing something wrong.
