The Mod Conspiracy Theory

cson · 2007-05-31 11:57:21

Seeing as most threads in this forum point/mention something about a mod conspiracy theory, I was wondering, what do these strange creatures do? Is it a front for their prostitution racket? Personally, I just get a picture in my mind of the scene in the 300 where he climbs the mountain to the priests. Thats what I imagine…

kthnksbye,

But what about the prostitution racket?
The missing cats?
The black overcoats?
The yellow fuzziness on your screen when Karoma's online?

Explain that!

The Modtrix.

This is reputed to be what the initiation process is like. With Dev presumably playing the Morpheus role.

There is no prostitution scandal. The sex is provided for free once you become a mod.

It's not a mod conspiracy, it's just that they have implants in their heads which link them together, and generate a type of hive mind mentality ... for evidence see here.

The truth is out there, people!

Has to be said though, those subscribers fees go a long towards the re-fitting of septums following the use of all the free coke.

As long as you tip them in Mod Gold they're happy, maybe you're tipping them in the usual Mod Credits instead? Cheapskate.

escape? escape is easy all you have to do is enter teh sewer via the s3cret trapdoor in the lobby, run 54 paces north-west, dive and swim for 40 metres, emerge in the dimly lighted cave *deep breath* sneak / fight your way past the guards, avoid the Sheelob and climb the ladder to the street above.

escaping is easy, it's realising you need to get out that's the hard part. shít, here they come *attaches fake beard & moustache*
