Garem's guide to Flood popularity (Updated again)
Hello, everyone. If you've been here as long as I have, you'll notice that a lot of people take popularity on here as a big deal. Now, you're probably wondering, "Well, yeah. I love being popular. But how can I get it?" Just follow these steps, and you'll be instacool:
Step One: Get coup.
[i]Bnet's default avatars are dull, and everyone uses them. Coup will make you stand out. If you don't use coup, at least use a lesser-known avatar.[/i]
Step Two: Post often.
[i]This should be obvious.[/i]
Step Three: Break the rules every now and then.
[i]The most memorable threads are threads that aren't in line with Bnet's rules. You'll have to break the rules creatively, though.[/i]
Step Four: Don't be a phony.
[i]Mostly everyone on here is one. Not being one will make you stand out.[/i]
Step Five: Have outrageous opinions.
[i]This is a must.[/i]
Step Six: Don't use memes.
[i]Seriously.[/i]
Step Seven: Claim to be a girl
[i]Most Floodians are antisocial. They enjoy communicating with females online to compensate.[/i]
Step Eight: Spam "do you recognize the user above you" threads.
[i]Anyone who says "no" will recognize you afterward.[/i]
Step Nine: Have a memorable username.
[i]A name like "iFarted69" or "FeliciaSucksBlackShaft" is going to get you more attention than "Ron5567" or "HALOFREAK"[/i]
That's all there is to it. Have a suggestion for another step? Post it in this thread.

I'm just trying to help others get it. You see?[/quote] Why? If you're so concerned about phoniness, why write a thread to help people achieve popularity? You're just creating more "phonies." Let's ignore for the moment that you've constructed a category of people ("phonies") distinct from supposedly "independent" or "free-thinking" individuals while ignoring the fact that "phoniness" can and does ebb and flow situationally as well as the inevitability of borrowing from the opinions and social contributions of those that have come before you. Let's just assume that you're right for the sake of argument. If you are so concerned about the "epidemic" of phonies in society, why contribute to that epidemic? Why write a guide to help random strangers achieve popularity? That seems very superficial of you. Phony![/quote] Because popularity =/= phoniness

"Speak for yourself" essentially means "don't speak on behalf of everyone." You can say that [i]you[/i] hate me, but you can't say that [i]everyone[/i] does. Please sit down.
