I consider doing this for the upcoming ACX meeting in Hamburg. The data is not yet sent to Mingyuan. It is a small meetup, so the risk is low. The question is: How do the Usurpers get to know about it? Do I send a mail to the usual suspects linking to this post and then wait? Ten upvotes and I will try it.
I wrote this with the assumption that there’s an existing meetup with an existing organizer. (See the first paragraph in Notes.) If that’s the case, then the existing organizer can run this event the same way they’d usually run any others. In Boston we usually post events to a facebook group, so I’d announce this to the group as “Hey, I’m running an event at this time and place, the event is titled Oops Its Time To Overthrow The Organizer Day, drinks and snacks will be provided.” The Usurpers know about it because The Establishment invites them and explains the goal.
I don’t think I’d run it during an ACX Everywhere meetup; you’ll have people who aren’t particularly involved in the community and just came for some conversation. Maybe run it as the second or third event after the ACX meetup?
That said, I’m not going to stop you from running the experiment, and if you do I’d be curious to know how it goes. . .

I have decided against trying the usurper thing with this meetup.
