[Semi-OT] Who started Hive Mind theory?

[Ravellion]

Ie the "only five posters exist, the rest are alternative log in names" theory.

Was it me ?

Or do great minds just think alike ?

I thought it was PC, personally.

 

[Ravellion]

I posted it in the "Threadkiller" thread just a week ago, and I got responses along the line of "Aargh! Not the conspiracy theory again", while I though that I thought of something new and original. Serves me right, I guess

I'm sure that if it weren't actually true, it would be funny and original, but there are ones who would rather the truth be not known.

I think I have never seen a post so compatible with its signiature as this one.

It's been a theory for two years, at least! It disappears and pops back up again.

The only problem with the hive mind theory is, wouldn't Piratecat have to post a pretty [deleted expletive] lot to make up for Crothian (and Wicht)? I mean, there are like a pretty large number of posters who have over 1,000 posts, so PC would have to have a typing speed in the milions of WPM.

Or how do you know this post isn't by the hive mind, trying to throw you off track?

Simple. You're part of the hive mind, so don't need to be told.

Of course, with that reasoning, I am probably too, but being me I know I'm not, but with the hive mind theory being a conspiracy and all I'm most likely just saying this to deflect suspicion, but that would mean I'm just a dirty lyer, but that would mean that my . . . . oh never mind.

 

[Crothian]

Well, one has to remeber we are not all of the Hive mind. Hong is actually a posting program. Most of my posts actually have little substance and really don't take a lot of thinking power, so that saves time. Also, by now I think PC has developed three heads and six arms so he can type and read three seperate computers. He never sleeps and he's convinced the governemtn to pay him for researching trends in RPGs, they have grants for everything now.

Who started the hive mind theory?

Really, the answer to the question is, we did.

Piratecat went crazy on original Eric Noah's forums and began to spawn different personalities to handle thesheer amount of excitation that D&D created in his feline brain. Time passed and those personalities began to take temporaly control of Piratecat hand and hook, posting in the boards.

By the moment we have identified some members of Piratecat's hivemind (a name to design the set of Piratecat's personalities): Piratecat, Hong, myself, Monte Cook...
