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.

That's all there is to it.[/quote] No, I'm not. Hipsters are the ultimate phonies. They change who they are to be different than anyone else. I don't. I just say what I think. I eat at McDonalds, shop at Walmart, buy COD games...I'm not a hipster by any means.[/quote] THAT IS WHAT MOST PEOPLE DO. Including most of the people you're whining about on the Flood.[/quote]Now you're getting it! Most people do that, hence, most people are phonies! Syllogism![/quote] ... No. You fail again. Most people do what they want. Say what they think. You are not quite so special a snowflake as you think. Your attitude is what distinguishes you. You have an inflated sense of self-importance and you hold yourself over other people that aren't all that different from you. [Edited on 12.29.2012 5:28 PM PST]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] II Lord Jiggy II I retract my previous claim that Garem negates everything in his guide. On the contrary, he subtly embodies each and every one of these aspects as part of his created persona. [/quote]Sorry to burst your bubble, buddy, but this is simply untrue. I'm really surprised at how much blind hatred a simple how-to thread has caused.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] II Lord Jiggy II Garem's dastardly plan was to achieve notoriety for himself, not by following his own guide, but by creating it and then going against everything he said. Garem has created quite a convincing persona which has tricked many of you into believing he actually means what he posts. The genius behind this is that he calls everyone else a phony, while he himself has created a false character on the site in which he believes to be the only honest member. This character, this Garem, is seemingly self righteous in his supposed capabilities in the judgement of other people's character. This has gone to infuriate several members of the Flood. By creating a character that invokes such strong emotion in you he has achieved his goal of notoriety. There is hardly a topic that Garem could post in without people jumping at the bit to read what he has to say and then critique every word of it.[/quote] How dastardly!

It's good for you.

It's not like the only threads you can respond to are ones on the front page. And besides, stop white-knighting. It's stupid and annoying.[/quote][/quote] I stand with NyIan.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Garem [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Gaara444 That's not how posting works. If your thread is beyond page 1 it's dead, and any post you make that revives it is a necrobump. Sorry, but your posts aren't special enough to not be considered rule breaking. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Garem When I respond to posts after dinner, it will [i]not[/i] be a bump, no matter what page this thread is on. [/quote][/quote] That's simply untrue. It's not like the only threads you can respond to are ones on the front page. And besides, stop white-knighting. It's stupid and annoying.[/quote] IKR? It's soooo unoriginal. Almost as unoriginal as making a thread about how unoriginal people are.
