yeah actually they will
My idea for the new byob project is to pick a random poster from another forum and be really nice to them for a specific amount of time. Not fake intrusive nice as a gag but just very pleasant in a grounded and realistic way. Answering their questions correctly and comprehensively, giving them genuine constructive criticism on their art pieces, complimenting them on their selfies in the waywt thread, etc. Interested in hearing feedback on this idea

like gang stalking but nicer?

yeah actually they will
I will admit the similarities to gang stalking are the biggest problem with my idea and the main reason I think it needs work. I don't think we should give up on this, though - this has the potential to be the biggest byob project i've started since the simu-cum project

MrWillsauce

how about instead of stalking one person we just be really nice to everybody



Luvcow

these are exciting times, i am drinking that kool aid

MrWillsauce

or how about we be really mean to everyone except one person so they feel good by contrast



Manifisto


I will be nice to the person

when the project is over do we have to stop being nice

what if we end up really liking them

MrWillsauce

as long as we don't give it a name I think we'll be okay



Piso Mojado

I think to effectively execute this plan we'll need to doxx them so we can be nice to them irl as well

i think this will end up like one of those movies where we try to make the ugly girl popular but then she turns out t be really beautiful and in the end we are the ones that learn the lesson

We can pick a poster from another forum who seems bummed out and give them a new AV, some gang tags, and refer to them by username in a good, positive way in discussions on the forum they post the most on, such as "Hey, let's ask Username_BYOB_Project what they think about that idea! I bet they have good suggestions!" and like that. After the predetermined time we come back here and wait for them to follow back where they will be welcomed with open appendages but shunned forevermore elsewhere.

instead of a semi-racist comic relief character like long duk dong we will have a wacky socialist or something

s/he can still say "no more yanky my wanky" however

I'd like to nominate this guy.

https://forums.somethingawful.com/member.php?action=getinfo&userid=139420

I found him by randomly clicking the last poster in thread in the Let's Play forum, he appears to mostly post in games, occasionally dipping his toes into other forums such as GBS, Post Your Favorite and Science, Academics and Languages. A cursory glance at his post history identifies him as Gamer however he does not appear to be a Pedophile or a Racist.

Stop acting like this idea is a joke and start being nice to someone. I recommend quoting them and saying "this post made me laugh." They don't need to know you laughed probably because you're high with the dried marijuana you smoked into your lungs, so that you could look "chill" to your friends in BYOB,.

I think this sounds like an excellent idea. It would be interesting to see what effect, if any, it has on their posts or general attitude to have someone being non-intrusively supportive of them. Unfortunately I worry anybody being nice to someone outside of this forum is immediately a cause for suspicion or the assumption of sarcasm, but I think the support could be crafted in such a way as to not to trip any red flags. Like, instead of being like 'Whoa! guys! this poster is totally our latest GBS superstar!!!', just like emptyquoting them or taking time out of your schedule to lol at their jokes.
