The Idiot's Gambit?

Music for the Article

A convoluted plan that relies on events completely within the realm of chance yet comes off without a hitch. If your first reaction to seeing The Plan unfold is "There is no way that you planned that!", then this person is crazy right?

The Idiot's Gambit tries to make a character seem impressive but can make someone's head spin. You really have to establish a character as The Chessmaster for them to be able to pull it off without arousing your audience's skepticism. If the character pulling the plan is a god, a person with precognition, a hyper-advanced AI, or someone else with similar abilities interacting with mortals, it becomes somewhat more believable, but even the disbelief of the audience can be tenuous at best.

An example is if the antagonist reveals that he created the Heroes, the Mad Doctor, and the Doomsday Machine, and kidnapped one character in the meanwhile, so that The Smart Guy and The Mad Doctor would ultimately become enemies and fight to their deaths, whereupon he would inherit their houses and use the land to build a gym. The Hero then informs the antagonist that they all rent, and he couldn't have built gyms in residential areas anyway.

It can get hilariously convoluted it defies the term idiot but let's try anyway...They are driving and comment that they need a baby to their next plan of 37 years, close by a train of the circus is approaching a broken bridge, two clowns see this and use the cannon to launch their son, to safety. He lands near the villian and his second in command, who take and raise him, in the right way so that he could take the plans to the Learn-a-Torium and make it, then the two use their abilities to help the children destroy the city, so that the Clown could convince the adults to put all their children in the Camp Learn-a-Torium, so that the villian and second in command could manipulate The Hero into wanting to find a device that would make a world dominated by kids, so that the kids would not need fairy godmothers any more, so that the villians could grant a wish to the clown with a loophole to control the fairy kingdom... After it ultimately fails, they wonder if they should try a six-week plan this time

Seriously what guy thinks this is a good idea-



Oh...........................................right.

I like the idea-but I would not want to see children stories with out Fairy God mothers lol lol lol

The plan for the stories with these characters make the story so Complicated.
