The mayor of Magic City began banning the 

use and distribution of fairy dust. El grupos 

and El interest felt that fairy dust was 

important to not only them but all dragons. “A 

dragon cannot fly without his fairy dust!” said 

el groups. “Nothing can stop us dragons from 

flying to our hearts content, Yo!” added el 

interest. But the Latents stood their ground 

and refused for fairy dust to be allowed. 

Soon enough the interest group grew as more and 

more dragons began falling out of the sky on their 

way to work. el grupo and el interest began organizing 

their followers and ordered that they begin lobbying. 

Lobbying occurs when groups who contact officials in 

floods attempt to persuade them.

The first task was for the trade 

association to lobby, meaning the 

dragons who cook fairy dust to sell it 

began. Next the DFFD contacted 

centralized groups. Centralized groups 

started to form with the same 

perspectives as them and they had 

money.   After, they contacted 

confederations about the issue as well. 

These guys were ruthless, they used all 

sorts of strategies to lobby. 

One of the first was inside strategies then they 

attempted outside strategies. Before you knew it they 

were attempting direct lobbying, these guys were 

driven. They even used Grassroots lobbying and 

Astroturf lobbying. Soon the DFFD began to get 

feedback. A government official dragon had joined the 

group, this is called the Revolving Door.

They also saw a mixture of mass associations and peak 

associations. Although this was good there were also 

problems within the royal dragon army. The army’s 

group members were facing a collective action problem, 

where everyone would be hurt by. They also faced 

Prisoner’s Dilemma, Where individuals would depend on 

each others options to benefit them. Other dragons were 

Free Riders, this meant that they were not cooperating 

in the collective action problem but they still got all of 

the benefits from others cooperation. Others did not like 

this so they tried to use force and threats on the free 

riders, this was called coercion. 

Although some dragons did not want to participate others did, and 

they received purposive benefits from it. Others would come to 

admire their selective incentives, benefits only to members, which 

some used to get dragons to join their groups. Dragons not only 

needed support but the DFFD needed money. They sought aid for 

this and looked at 501 c 3 organizations. These were tax exempt 

organizations, they claimed public safety for this. They looked at 

Political Action Committees, non-profitable organizations who 

raised money. 527 Organizations, who are tax exempt and are 

primarily for influence of election, selection, nomination, defeat, or 

appointment of candidates. They also looked at taking the late 

train, meaning switching sides after election, but that wasn’t an 

option.
