That's it! http://ilovehappycube.webs.com/thestorysofar.htm quote:Anyway, I posted the video to Google and then linked to it from SA. It became incredibly popular and appeared on a ton of blogs. The most intelligent discussion about it seemed to be at Unfiction.com. ViralDetector (The Detector) helped me by registering there and posting as a plant. I wrote most of the more literature-based stuff (GMiller's blog, The Masks We Wear, So Tired). Soon we released the second and third videos. They were made the same way as the previous ones.

Prester Jane posted:I constantly see posters in this thread insisting that it would be trivially easy to either imitate Q's posting style or conduct a parallel scam. I don't know how to tell you this, but y'all have no idea what you're talking about. Just because gullible people exist and can be corralled into groups at doesn't mean that you have the insight or psychological wherewithal to manipulate large groups of gullible people. It's actually a real skillset and requires a base-level of inherent talent that simply cannot be taught. I agree with you with regards to cult leaders or true believers posting on the message boards that actually have to interact with people. In the former case, face to face and in the later at least engaging with them via the boards. That would require a specific skill set that you may not even be aware you have. But impersonating Q......I don't think it's the same thing. It doesn't take much effort to craft a Q drop that could conceivably have been written by Q. And that's it, there's no manipulation or psychology you need to be aware of. The Qultists do it all themselves, They're a hivemind. It basically doesn't matter what Q says, the hivemind converts it into whatever it currently wants. So I reckon with some good timing it would be remarkably easy with cause a schism and pilfer off a load of followers. You'd only have to check in once a week, write some more gibberish and post it with a picture of a ceral box next to a battery and by the time you returned the week after the Qultists would have written a million words with accompanying diagrams explaining what you meant.

There has been dozens of copycats, none of them really work. Hive minds aren't real. Q works because he's telling people what they want to hear mixed with that ARG stuff that has proven popular across a bunch of stuff, it's all very stupid but it's a bunch of stuff that only works because it's building off an understanding of the world that was already very stupid. Like it's not just random, it's as the title says: pizzagate extended universe. If you tried it you'd fail for basically the same reasons you'd fail to get your painting in an art museum after looking at some impressionist piece and saying "my kid could draw this!"

Helen Highwater posted:That's pretty much the opposite of how stealth tech works. Reflecting radio waves would make the plane more visible to radar, not less. The stealth coatings and planforms are there to absorb radio waves and mask heat sources. While radio absorbing coatings are of course used, there will always be EM reflections at any boundary between different materials, so the shape of stealth planes is designed to reflect the incident waves out into space rather right back at the transmitter (which is what most objects do)

Nah, I wouldn't go that far, yes I was wrong about just posting crap and they'd buy it but frankly you'd have a hell of a lot more leeway with the Qultist than with artists. Come on he literally gave himself away as a fraud the other day and they worked their way around it. The equivalent of me hanging my crap up in the tate and then 1000's of art critics spending days discussing why not only is it not a piece of poo poo, it's actually better than Monet.

Yea, I posted the Nightmind vid on it because he goes into just dense it got and it just kept going and going. No wonder they got burnt out. Did you know there's a whole other thing connected to the Haunted Zelda cart that goes beyond simply Ben Drowned? I wonder if that was started by the same guy or others just using it as a starting point for their own ARG.

The biggest problem with being Q2 is getting the big names and the bots to support you. Just posting Q-like nonsense won't automatically get you that, however well-crafted it is. A sufficiently large amount of grass roots GA support would only work if it managed to get them to amplify it, otherwise they'll just fall back in line with whichever Q they're currently on.

Do we already forget they have been several Q? Several time people have taken over the tripcode or password, and at least a few time it no longer same guy. Don't go saying Q impossible to clone or steer, just need right oppurtunity to impersonate.

Yeah part of the issue with trying to imitate Q at the moment is that there's already the current Q personality, so it's going to be harder to get people to buy into store-brand Q when Q Classic exists. You could argue though that the fact that new big conspiracies keep cropping up means that they do have a life cycle where people burn out on one and become open to attraction to a new one, and that once one gains inertia it becomes self sustaining for the course of its life.

Since we're bringing up ARGs, is anyone else familiar with Lake City Quiet Pills? I heard about it awhile back in some unsolved mysteries circles. It's on my mind since it really feels like a training run for Q. Summary is that a dude started "accidentally" posting weird codes of random letters and numbers on, I think, a sketchy porn image host/forum (so, probably stick to unsolved mystery places if you feel like researching). Redditors went and Nostradamused a whole airport novel story about a group of mercenaries getting back together for a big party to commemorate the founder's death...which then morphed into it all being code for them doing the Assassination of Mahmoud Al-Mabhouh. There's still a few diehards who think it's true despite some really obvious tells that it's bullshit. My point being that there's a lot of Q types posting around the Internet. I know there are a least a few bots/people posting random number strings on Reddit. Cicada 3301 was a thing, plus a few other ARGs that kicked off and went nowhere. There are a few weird websites and social accounts that are art projects, deep trolls or legitimate mentally ill people. They all draw in small crowds and then people usually move on. Q just hit the right brand of conspiracy for the alt-right at the right time, and got signal boosted.

The shift was too abrupt for that. You can't go from talking about purestrain gold to explaining how your entire purpoted worldview was constructed by researching real schizophrenic patterns and taking cues from audience participation on a dime like that. It takes a long period of readjustment for medicated paranoiacs and schizophrenics to be able to get a real sense of perspective on their previous thought patterns.

You could theoretically replace Q but only with something that filled the same "actually Trump is good and real and strong and my friend" emotional needs that the Q conspiracy theory fulfills. Q is not in the lead or in control. The performer isn't writing the show, the audience is.

In my case the path from ranting conspiracy theorist to medicated schizophrenic with some grip on reality was about two and a half years- all of that in active therapy as well as monthly meetings with my psychiatrist to adjust my medication.

If I were Q and wanted to drop the bit I would start posting that oh poo poo we are actually losing against the deep state, if [highly specific Trump prediction] doesn't happen in 36 hours it's all over And then a few hours later post something very frantic-sounding but otherwise impenetrable And then nothing But I figure this would probably set off a couple shooting sprees so maybe not.

All Q (who is almost certainly more than one person) would need to do is stop updating. People would get worried, but then say TRUST THE PLAN and then they'd eventually just move on.
