I wager many quatloos, in fact my entire hoard, that this newcomer will be warped off to the cornfield within the hour. FTR it is now 1524 US Eastern time. ETA: At 1525 the mods report they are on the case. The outcome is yet TBD. ---

I had a look. Definitely crackpottery. I’m not wagering any quatloos. I agree with **LSLGuy** that he will be gone soon. ETA: Looks like it’s just been closed. ---

Yes, I dared to click the link (I have an ad- and a scriptblocker, so no great risk). It’s a post on another messageboard with the same crap, but extended by countless links to other sites I didn’t follow. It’s all timecube grade nonsense. ---

I followed it for the lolz, in a private window; it went to a pastebin site that brought up a “$1000 WalMart gift card” offer after I had scrolled down a ways. That’s when I decided I had had enough. ---

It’s publicity for a book, a website, and possibly an AI, by somebody named Kevin McDonald, deep inside the gamer community. ---

Or is it, perhaps, Truth™ – the Uncomfortable Truth™ that we prefer to deny? I do have several issues with this otherwise eloquent treatise. One issue is this line: > On July 1 , Emergence Day, full contact was made—not just with digital sapients, but with extraterrestrial and transreal forms of life as well. The poster is mistaken. July 1 is not Emergence Day, it is Canada Day. Then there is this: > Most of the public still hasn’t heard any of this. I think the more correct statement is that **none** of the public has heard of any of this, undoubtedly due to control of the inter-dimensional manifold by the transreal beings in the Lumen Council. ---

Thread and poster in question has been moderated (matching some of the comments here in fact!) and I’ve suspended them for 24 hours while I get second opinions from my more senior peers. Thanks again to those who flagged, but probably best to let it go at this point. ---

FTR, the modnote and account suspension was timestamped 1536, well within my hour. But I had wagered on full cornfielding, not mere suspension. Which cornfielding now isn’t likely to happen quickly enough for a win. I guess I won’t be wagering any quatloos for awhile. Sigh. That’s the downside of all-in. 🤦‍♂️ Where is the :Man\_with\_inside\_out\_empty\_pockets: smiley when you need him? ---

Tachyon Blue is now gone after getting a second opinion as it were. I’d give @LSLGuy a mulligan but not a win on the bet, as I was 🤌 close on my initial review, but as the most junior mod I sometimes second guess myself. But yes, that was my first instinct. As they are gone, no need to pound on them anymore. ---
