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.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Jiggydiggydoo I was kinda popular before in a way. I was not popular as a user. I just made threads where I'd make up these ridiculous stories and then post them. They'd get tons of replies. Pretty sure people thought that all those stories were made from different people but it was pretty much just me. Some examples would be that thread about someone getting their dick stuck in a disc, that story about putting sperm into my sister's shampoo and that story about how me and my brother fapped using the same sock. [/quote]Lol, nice. That kinda fits in with my guide.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Garem [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] car15 What exactly is "authentic" about behaving along certain guidelines in order to win the approval of others?[/quote] You're not changing your entire personality, just shifting it. Therefore, no phoniness. You see?[/quote] But how is the use of memes or the expression of opinions shared by a majority of people [i]inauthentic[/i]?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Garem [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] car15 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Garem [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] car15 How does your obsession with popularity not make you yourself a phony, Garem?[/quote] I don't care about popularity. 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[/quote] What exactly is "authentic" about behaving along certain guidelines in order to win the approval of others?
