View Full Version : Rumors of OD...
SupSuper
29 Mar 2006, 14:57
I don't know why, I don't know how, but there seem to be rumors of OD going on... luckily I'm thrustworthy enough to the forumers for them to come and tell me about it :p
Long ago, the first person that came asking me about it on MSN was Made In. I think someone told him about it, sort of a rumour, don't remember who, but he made no biggie about it.
More recently, Cyclaws has also gotten such a rumour. I can't find the log (I blame Live Messenger), but he said "I suspect that's where all the fads are coming from". He seemed quite set in doing everything to find out about it, even though I acted as ambivalent as possible. I also told him about Made In, so I think now he suspects Made In is part of the whole thing :p
I have no clue what you are talking about..

Does it really matter if they find out though? No-one is going to get in unless they're approved by us in OD and Sel.

I also got a PM from Cyclaws about something similar, although it actually turned out to be nothing. He was using it as an excuse to try and find out more information about "secret mod forums"

Does it really matter if they find out though? No-one is going to get in unless they're approved by us in OD and Sel.Yes, but if forumers bother artists so much just to get cameos, how much do you think they'd bother us and/or Sel to get in?
If anyone asks again, just tell them that there is a "secret circle" that has a direct access to T17's beer reserve.
But you are only accepted if you have an approved guzzling record of 17 pints in an hour.
Tell them that the secret circle is called "Outrageous Drunk-heads".

Or someone could make a really crappy geocities site, called the "T17 ILUMINATY", where fads are posted, and accidentally let it leak into the community.

Someone told me that there was a secret forum on T17 before I was let in; they'd seen it when there was a glitch.
Can someone just reveal all conspiracys here and now?
Conspiracies: Illuminati, Cold War, Roswell, Sky Station.
Not conspiracies: Moon landing, Scientology, Michael Jackson.
Not sure: Gravity, The Internet.

Hey...look who's back... (not that i've been here that much anyway)...
There're definitely some rumors about it... i've just been approached by Superblob wanting to start his own avatar Fad thingy. In his own words: "To get as many people as i can, using this avatar and writting this on the name"... then he told me to use his own avatar and started to talking about the avatar fads and someone telling "you can't use it cause you weren't there" and stuff..
Of course i told him nothing about it, but the avatar got people a little more alert...
Now... if you guys think the rumors are going too far, you could start making fake screenshots and some stuff like that in order to turn this into a big joke... then no one would believe it really exists... again... :)

Well none of us can accidently release the link because wouldn't know about the link if the site was true.
We need someone's brother/sister/girlfriend/boyfriend to release the link claiming to be the author, maybe posting it in the website thread. There it's not int he limelight but someone will see it and will spread like wild-fire through MSN.
worMatty
4 Apr 2006, 22:30
I recommend against dropping that link anywhere because even though it might appear to originate from a species of lesser intelligence, it could backfire and convince some people that the mysterious OD does exist. It's also a bit too close to the truth and bit forced. If you want to make it look severely amateur you need to include at least one animated GIF and build it using a template. The italic and bold Times is quite realistic, however.
All we need do is actively post in the other forums and maintain enthusiastic innocence. No point in glossing over the truth 'cause while it may make it appear normal it leaves a horrible shiny finish. Like a fake wall in Superfrog ("Let's go through!"). The best disguises are the ones that you don't actually know exist, which doesn't help you much in obtaining that state but gives you an idea of what to expect the end result to be like.

The morons on the board accept the existence of OD as fact without evidence and the place becomes abusive. I'd like to see the sanctity of OD preserved, so tempting fate isn't a good idea.
I still think it's definitely best for everybody that OD remain secret. We should be trying to minimalize suspicion, not tempt people.
AndrewTaylor
15 Apr 2006, 10:25
You know what I realised a bit ago?
If they found out about OD, what could be done? We could tell them it had been shut down because they'd found out about it and how would they know if it had? We could tell them it's real and how could they check? Whether or not OD exists is irrelevant -- it's like asking whether God exists; most people never bother to include that factor when they choose a religion to follow.
If we're going to tell them there's something secret that they can't access, why not just make something up?
Pickleworm

We could really make anything up. They find out that there is a section of the forum that they do not have access to, and the rest of the forum isn't good enough anymore.

With a bit of luck, he'll produce the same screenshot that was mentioned earlier, I think relating to Cyclaws. That way, we can just disprove it from the dates, as I conveniently said in that locked thread that Whistle created that Open Discussion was binned 2 years ago - and that screenshot is almost 3 years old.
Next time someone slyly mention "another Team17 forum" and instead of immediately jumping to the non-existent OD, they'll think of Dream17 and we'll get more D17 forumers...

A while back now, for a brief period between being an irritating newbie and an irritating pillock, Iguana was actually quite a decent poster and was one of my candidates for OD entry. So when he managed to guess the existence of OD in an MSN conversation with me, I had to admit it.
Given I swore him to secrecy, we seem to have a problem on our hands. He has asked me several times since then as to when he will be admitted to OD, and given his regression I feel somewhat unable to sponsor him for an OD place now. I did apologise before.

You could add something quite subtle to the people online by adding people who no-one has ever heard of and who haven't visited the forum since about 2002 or something, and make the date 2005.

There's always secret moderator forums ;) (who says there only has to be one....)
I honestly don't know what would happen if someone exposed OD - not that much would happen since there are a good few subforums here that regular members don't have access to (heck, I think there's a couple I don't even have access to!!). There are a number of options:
1. OD goes - completely. Taking some of the older members who remain with it.
2. OD becomes a free-for-all - I don't think this would happen, since it would be a pain to moderate.
3. The leaker gets "Removed"
4. We lie like mad and attempt to cover it up.
5. OD stays as it is, only nobody else is ever allowed in again.
6. OD becomes "public knowledge", and we have the occasional voting session where we get to allow new members in. BUT if they ask to come in, they are never allowed!

I'd also like to add to that: Do not go over the top. The last reaction to OD in that Online Orgy thread, I felt was over the top. The thread was closed for one thing, secondly it was closed quite quickly and thirdly I felt there was too much denial about OD. If you keep it all natural, it looks right but from looking at it from their point of view it seems like you're trying to cover it up.
Next time something like this happens, let the thread run for a bit longer and don't all flood into the thread to say it doesn't exist. What also stood out was that WorMatty posted in it - I don't believe you post outside of OD much. It all makes it seem odd.

My feeling is, until someone actually posts saying OD exists (and has proper facts to back it up) AND asks to come in, we keep quiet.
When the above happens, make it "public knowledge" and say that a guaranteed way of not being allowed in is to ask to have access.
If anyone mentions OD - DO NOT reply to the thread denying it or trying to cover it up (or even confirming its existance). Just report the thread and either myself, AT or Sel will deal with it in the most appropriate way possible. If you try to deny the existance of OD, you just make it look like you're covering something up, which means more mess for us mods to clear up.
Also, don't go posting links to attachments posted in OD ;)

If you delete threads or posts you will help to confirm the truth in their eyes. I believe the best course of action is to ignore all challenges and let them die. This includes not replying to threads or posts about OD, even if asked to, and when directly challenged outside of the forum, say "Secret forum? I'm not aware there is one but hey, that's a good idea! Maybe we should ask Sel to create one for us?" Turn the conversation around.

It's also worth considering REVEALING OD. People people, please, sit down. Hear me out.
We don't want people that are angry crapping up threads trying to get us to reveal OD, and we generally go a bit overboard when trying to cover it up. If we just throw knowledge of it out there, with a few rules, then perhaps (but not definitely), it could restore a bit more order to the board.
Rules like, "If you ask to get in, you don't get in" would be helpful. The problem is, certian people in the Fan Art forum will only follow rules if they are bolded and followed by a series of exclamation points (and even then rules will sometimes be ignored). Just let it be known that if you DESERVE to get in, you will get in eventually. If you aren't in, try to be a better poster/keep up the good work/etc.
There's a chance that it may IMPROVE the rest of the forum, with people trying to post better in order to gain acceptance into our little circle of elite. But there's the chance that it backfires, with people saying "LET ME IN2 OD PLZ". Along with the announcement we should say that Cyclaws is never allowed in OD ever :3.

It's obvious we're trying to cover it up, they may just assume the thread will just be deleted, although I think the latter is the better reason.

If there is a post about OD in a thread that is not related to OD, I will remove it on grounds of it being off topic - no other reason.
If someone posts a thread about OD, DO NOT post in the thread denying it. Just IGNORE the thread and report it to the mods. We will attempt to remove any doubt. DO NOT try to deny OD - that makes it look even worse.
Finally, if someone asks to come in and you can't do anything but reveal OD, then just say that it is invite-only and asking is the perfect way to have your invite torn up, and never be allowed in.

Iguana and others definitively know about OD. Iguana knows it for sure, and I'm almost certain he told the secret to quite a few people. He keeps looking for signs of us denying it -- such as you silently deleting posts or us covering it up -- and laughs at this on MSN. No matter what we do, it'll be suspicious. I'm sure Iguana And Co. will point it out to people who aren't sure, and others who suspect that we have a secret forum will be able to put two and two together. I mean, come on, a LOT of threads are already off-topic, and when posts about OD suddenly disappear without a trace, they'll know that something's going on.
Edit: And the gazillion avatar fads and the duck thread weren't exactly subtle.

I'll try and be a little less trigger-happy with the deleting then ;)
Unless of course it gets to stupid proportions and after many warnings, I'll just trash the entire thread, like I usually do *insert evil smilie here*
One thing still puzzles me: if Iguana thinks he knows so much about OD - why doesn't he just come out and announce it? Or does he not have any solid proof, and only what people have said.
No, but they were fun.
The bottom line is that it doesnt matter what Iguana says. He may know about this, but he's still a moron. Take advantage of it. So if we just catch him or anyone else that may know about OD, at the right moments and make him seem like idiots-We're good...or in otherwords, convince everone else that the person or people who accually know about the forum or may know about it, seem unbelievable, we're safe. Not to start flame wars or anything major...but just hint to others that they don't know what they are talking about. About anything.
Now on to the next importaint matter gentilmen...How do we kill SuperMan?

Well, I've taken his suspicions of us conspiring with T17 to my advantage and hinted to him that he might get banned if he spills the beans.

Because we know what we have to do to limit damage, and its participants have agreed that we ought to be careful, yet more crazy ideas about fake forums and other decoys keep popping up. I'm concerned someone will think it's okay to start blabbing about OD and confirm it, when all we need do is keep quiet about it and have Thomas or Andrew address any direct challenges.

Great idea Matty :D
Therefore, I am creating the following rules should there be any leak of OD:
NOBODY is to post in any thread leaking OD, or reply to a post which leaks OD.
Just REPORT the offending post using the post report button (you all know where it is ;)) and the mods will deal with it.
We will decide how best to deal with a serious OD leak WHEN and IF it comes. NOT before.
Let's not destroy this forum with plotting about how to hide it.
You said it Matty. Like I did before:
http://forum.team17.co.uk/showpost.php?p=507244&postcount=201
I think there won't be a serious OD leak, as everything the outsiders have is one ancient screenshot of the forum and rumor by a few people.
Just because some UFO freak shows a photograph of some blinking lights and claims to know everything about Area 51, the U.S. Air Force won't have an open day at Groomlake Base with a yard sale. :rolleyes:

But plotting is FUN.
What if our schemes are just totally outrageous?
If anyone leaks OD, we'll go and PUNCH THEM IN THE FACE.
Yeah. We don't really need to talk about this subject anymore. I think that we're prepared to fix it if it happens.

Well, we know now that shooting him in the eye doesn't do the trick... [ http://www.therawfeed.com/2006/05/what-happens-when-superman-is-shot-in.html ]

That wouldn't work.
He'd just eat it before he even puts the kryptonite in.

If you want fudge at the Get-Togethjer this year, you'd all better behave, dag nammit.
