With this easy to use guide, you too can create your own fake story to post on Godlike! Use this handy guide to help.

1. First, make up your own idea about what havoc PX is causing (make it believable!)

Example: PX is flinging a meteor towards our way!

2. Make up "facts." Like the first one, make them believable.

Example: Astronomers in Japan have indicated a meteor headed our way with causes unknown. "We don't know what is causing it" says one astronomer. "This metoer was supposed to head past Pluto, but it suddenly changed course. Our guess is that a large object reversed its direction."

3. Make it as long as possible. Add "facts", questions, links(if any possible), just keep stretching the story to make it look professional.

4. Be sure to make reference to Zetatalk, Mark Hazlewood, or anything related to PX. You must give credit where its due.

5. Make it in tabloid style, because that's what it is. A tabloid article.

6. NEVER post back unless you forgot to add something. People will think you ran for cover and think they should take safety.

7. Make it look professional, otherwise, people won't believe it.

8. ....and the final rule is to use real science as much as you can. People will then take it seriously.

And there you have it. Rules on how to make your own fake Godlike story! Have fun with it!

Moral: NEVER believe what Godlike says. It's all fake.

Hmmm...let me try.

Pluto has disappeared from the sky! Astronomers in Colorado have confirmed that Pluto, the ninth planet from the sun has, indeed, disappeared. "We have no idea how this sort of thing could've happened," stated one astronomer who wishes to remain anonymous. "But, we are almost certain that for an object to have enough gravitational force to literally eject Pluto from its orbit, it must be substantially large."

The discovery was made when the astronomers first intended to do a search of the night sky around where IRAS found a "mysterious object" back in 1983. "NASA claims all they found was a few galaxies or something of the sort, but we do not buy that. We believe they discovered something spectacular and are trying to keep it under wraps. We believe it may be Planet X."

Planet X, or 'Nibiru' as it is exotically known to some, is a theory proposed by a man named Zecharia Sitchin, who bases his findings on ancient Sumerian texts. A popular website that is run by a Ms. Nancy Leider, http://www.zetatalk.com , informs people about the imminent passing of this object.

"I myself have seen zetatalk, and I believe its science is top-notch.", the same scientist stated. "They are able to tackle subjects that my fellow scientists and myself would not even dare touching. She (Nancy Leider) is quite educated in astronomy. Whoever these "Zetas" are, they must be super-intelligent beings. They are educated in areas of physics that we do not know anything about whatsoever. I intend to learn more about them (the Zetas)."

However, not all scientists buy the theory of Planet X, and the theory that it has thrown Pluto out of its orbit. One renounded scientist, a Mr. Philip Plait who currently runs a popular website called http://www.badastronomy.com , believes it is nothing more than a can of Who-Hash. "It's pure bunk," Mr. Plait exclaims. "If there were a Planet X, and it really HAD thrown Pluto out of its orbit, it would be quite noticeable to anyone who has any knowledge of astronomy. However, I myself went out earlier tonight, looked up into the sky, and found it (Pluto). Amazingly, I didn't find a Planet X, either. So I do not buy this one bit."

Rival scientists vehemonly disagree with Mr. Plait. "He's a disinfo agent!", suggested the scientist who wished to remain anonymous. "Pluto and its moon Charon are missing, and we believe Planet X is the cause for it! We also believe that, based on our own calculations, Planet X has thrown Pluto RIGHT AT US! There is nothing we can do except hope and pray. But do NOT believe what Mr. Plait says, believe ZetaTalk! Believe Nancy!"

Mr. Plait was not available for comment. He had a sign posted on his desk, saying "Out To Lunch".

Not bad... but Nancy and her clan wouldn't have even admitted that the BA exists. They would just give us the "facts" without mentioning the other side of the argument. (I use the term argument loosely)

That's true. But for people to take you seriously you need to make it look like you know what your talking about. LIke Hazlewood. :wink:

Posts like this make me nervous. I can almost guarantee that will be posted as a real quotation somewhere...

It seems internet myths have surpassed the level of crop circle and UFO hoaxes as favorite pasttimes.

skeptical: You hit the nail on the head.

I'd ask WolfKC to design a cover for my Dummies book, but that would take away too much of his time, so i'll make it.

This thread is amazing, as are some of the users of this board.
Some of you should really pat yourselves on the back, again.

Seriously, thank yourselves for bringing me to this board.
It's about time you banded together for a common purpose.

Well, If people from GLP want patted on the back maybe they should produce evidence for the garbage they shovel. Hey Human, lets act really indignant now, we know your site is the place to go when we want the REAL truth .. how did the sun behave today? .. hope it rose on time :wink:

sorry guys, my last post sort of typed itself .. this slinger of arrows should know that feeding trolls only results in ugly company

You want indignant? I can do that.

"Well, If people from GLP want patted on the back maybe they should produce evidence for the garbage they shovel."

Where did I speak for any other person besides myself? How about you respond to the words that I wrote, not what you're pretending to have read. That's part of why I'm quoting you - I'm holding you to what YOU said. Start paying attention to what I write if you're going to reply.

"Hey Human, lets act really indignant now, we know your site is the place to go when we want the REAL truth .. how did the sun behave today? .. hope it rose on time"

To assume anything about me shows lack of intelligence. You'd serve yourself better if you dropped the act with me. Don't show your fear by knee-jerk reacting to words that YOU are putting into my mouth. Rise above your fear, face me honestly.

"sorry guys, my last post sort of typed itself .. this slinger of arrows should know that feeding trolls only results in ugly company"

An extraneous post with a third-person reference - you must either be popular here, or really want to be. Your identification of me is slightly off - I'm one of those "troll variants". Wait and see, you'll probably end up liking me alot more than the stereotypical troll.

I must admit, Human... I am kinda excited by your font size .. you're an obvious troll, you wouldv'e did better by exercising as least some subtlety. While you're looking for some troll-bait, read around. You might even find yourself liking this site. Nice feeding ya ..

I subtly request you get over yourself and respond to what I wrote. It's easy to say catchy little phrases like "you're an obvious troll". My purpose here is to find posts regarding GLP trolling, and voice my opinion. I'm doing that head-on, not side-swiping like you.

Don't waste your time deluding yourself, I won't find anything on this site I can't find anywhere else. As for liking it, I despise what it stands for so I doubt that will happen.

Thanks for feeding me more scared talk. I hadn't anticipated so much of it here. I would much rather you talk like a grown adult though.

Quite frankly I don't care what you like. You are nothing but a GLP troll that's going to post until you're banned. Knock yourself out. Fear you, I laugh at you. The forum you represent is the biggest collection of trashy literature I know of. The moderator tolerates language, often times directed to female posters, that even YOU would have a hard time defending. That's just the language. Boards are not sovereign territory. If someone from here goes and posts trash on your sleazy site, while not agreeing with that behavior, I know it's comparable with 98% of the posts there at any rate. You coming over here acting like some kind of self-righteous angel of retribution is like a leper complaining about dirty dishes. You can try, but it won't fly. If you don't like it here, take a hike.

"Quite frankly I don't care what you like."

Then leave me alone and let someone else pretend they don't care what I like. You're not doing a very convincing job.

"You are nothing but a GLP troll that's going to post until you're banned."

"Boards are not sovereign territory."

How do those two statements reconcile?

"If you don't like it here, take a hike."

Don't worry, I'm not here to fix the dysfunction present on BABB. I'm just here to voice my opinion. If *you* don't like it, get me banned. Sounds like this board IS a sovereign teritory for like minded people. And I'm glad my mind doesn't fit in here.

I'll try not to cry when I eventually leave.

Human Being,

I was looking through your posts and found one where you were pointing out irony and finding it grand. I found some of my own in regards to your posts.

In some you say that you're here to voice your opinion. In others you say you are trying to find good examples of BABB'ers abusing GLP'ers. So, which one is it? Or is it both? Just wondering.

I like the ones where you tell everyone to only reply to what you are saying and not to go off on the handle, but you think it is ok for you do that in your replies. (remember when your little political posts? What did that have to do with the subject?)

And you love pointing out how mean we've been in regards to GLP'ers. Um - have read what they say about us? I can't post any of it here because there are profanity rules on this board, and kids come to this site. You point out how mean we are, and then say things like
(and btw, that's how you need to put your responses in quotation - your posts are pretty hard to read - hard to discern what you are saying and what you are quoting - and I know you don't want people getting confused over that!)

No. We only ban people if they violate the rules. If it was that you don't agree with what we say, you could've been banned posts and posts ago. You are free be here. Just don't go trying to get yourself banned, or constantly challenging it.

We like debating here about actual subjects. If you want people to welcome you the way that most people who have come here have been welcomed, then stop being on the defensive so much. We're just people, like you, who would love to chat with you. But we're human, so when you come onto a board, in defensive mode like you did, then we're naturally going to get defensive too.

If you settle down a little and just reply normally, calmly, then you'll find people won't be calling you "troll" every chance they get.

Anyway, this is all just getting childish.

Girl 101

Everyone is open to voice his or her opinion here. People are not banned for standing up for what they believe in. The truth of the matter is that this forum and the GodLike Productions forum are totally different, not only because of the 'ruling methods', but their purpose on a whole.

Bad Astronomy is there to spread the truth… our truth if you like. We are not Government debunkers or closed-minded drones, merely people trying to relieve the fears of others over this whole PX shebang. NOT covering it up as is the popular belief amongst those who believe, but informing people of the facts as we believe them. We are not deluded, we just don’t believe. Yea, if you come to Bad Astronomy and start rambling on about PX coming, posting thread after thread of meaningless nonsense, will inevitably be banned. People, such as yourself, who come here for a discussion will undoubtedly find themselves in the thick of it, but if you don’t violate the FAQ, you’ll still be welcome. There is nothing in the FAQ that tells people what to believe.

Now, I too see how a thread such as this can inflame tensions between GLP and BA, but don’t brand us all as troublemakers or stirrers. I’m not exactly sure what you’re trying to get out of visiting our forum, but the two forums should co-exist peacefully.
