Looks like Operation: Broadside is coming to a close in less than an hour. Been a tough challenge, hope we made it. I'm going into some bronze matches, help out a little bit incase we're straggling a few more extractions.

Salute.

The upcoming Choose Wisely series is going to be designed to hold people by the hand and walk them through what Indoctrination is and how the themes of the trilogy apply to it. If people dont care enough to learn that from an easy-to-watch video, they probably wont care much about a list that you have to read...

Target audiences for the vids will be:
Those of us who already understand it all and just want to watch it for the entertainment value
Those who believe IT but dont really have a full understanding of the themes
Those who are keeping an open mind and wish to learn more, so that they can draw a more informed conclusion

And in fact those are the only people we should be conversing with. Anyone who doesnt fit into one of those categories is generally hostile and closed-minded. I can think of many things I'd rather do than hold a conversation with folks like that, much less try to convince them of anything. 

I can't wait for them to come out! This really is exactly what we need.

I cant wait for the first one to come out either! It's getting to the point where I feel a bit guilty when I'm playing MP instead of working on it.

So how do you cover links with other text? I want to sig link my thread.

I think we might need a big list on how indoctrination works, how there are differant types/levels of indoctrination and what it does to people both physically and mentally. Alot of people seem to have a difficulty in understanding the concept of it. And I feel if properly explained (not by me ) would help people see this theory better.

Wow, I really admire the amount of work you're putting into making these vids. Thank you!

My pleasure.  It's actually a rather enjoyable process, too, so it's not really a burden.

Well you have an excuse this weekend. The community needs you to contribute to the cause in MP.

Type the text, highlight the text, press the Insert/Edit Link button. Looks kind of like a blue and green globe with a chainlink on it.

[RavenEyry]

Thank you

Type your text, look up at the toolbar. See a button showing three chain links in front of a globe.

Click that while highlighting your text. Paste the URL into the box provided. Click ok.

You're done!

[RavenEyry]

Thanks, but gunslinger got there first. I suggest a duel to the death.

[Arian Dynas]

I never bring a foil to a gunfight. No thanks.

[UltimateTobi]

I am back guys.
I better not comment what I saw on the first couple pages after I left.
But I hope you followed my ORDER. Yes, ORDER. Well, bid actually.

Speculations?

Nope. But they do seem to have followed my order.

Look above for various speculations.

Glad to see I improved some morale.

LOL. People just don't see the value of UNIT yet. 

 It's great someone finally decided to compile that list. Keeping track of all the hard evidence was becoming increasingly difficult.

Stop talking about his UNIT, it's gross and unseemly to discuss in public, especially with other men.

[paxxton]

It's not that UNIT. It's this one: Unified Nanide-based Indoctrination Theory (UNIT). The first page (excluding the very first post) isn't very constructive but there are some interesting thoughts on the second page.
