Edit: Nevermind, the whole anti-retake organization is working this thread hard. Not worth my time to sit here and deal with the multiple-logins anymore.
Edit 2: You guys could make it a little harder. I can already tell which accounts are owned by the same persons.
quick,our numbers are dwindling.... invent an anti retake movement,then add a multi account rumour....people will believe if we state it often enough,it worked with all the other schemes.
:D:D:D:D
I wouldn't mind him making that charge if he'd actually name names. I'm not sure who are supposed to be the originals and who are supposed to be the sock puppets.
I'm not an idiot, I know better than to make direct statements in an open forum.
If you want the answers, go back through the board. Check the BBB, FTC, Endings, "Artistic Integrity", and PR threads. You'll notice that in each, there'll be two posters, one supportive and one beligerent. You'll find that the usernames generally handle specific topics without crossover.
Watch the post times as well, You'll not only find that the names pick up "Dangerous" new topics impossibly fast, as if they knew the announcements were coming, but you'll also find that specific usernnames do not post at the same time. You'll never find name A posting on any threads when name B is posting, you'll find name A disappears for the duration of name B's activity.
Then watch the posting styles, you'll find specific usernames respond to criticism in identical ways, and you'll find they handle arguements in identical ways.
Finally, watch their intent on the thread. The first thing they'll consistently try to do is derail the topic, and then when that fails, they'll work to start a flame war to get the topic locked.
It's all pretty classic techniques for manipulating a internet forum, you can google it.
Again, I'll reiterate, I'm not saying EA has anything to do with it. TBH, given the sloppiness of it, I doubt highly EA has anything to do with it. I'd be more inclined to guess it's either journalists trying to stamp out the fire, or a grass roots group of users, leaning towards a grass roots group of users.
