How to be cool on GFY. Strategy #3 "Being above people"
 

Here is a classic GFY strategy. See, what you do is you make fun of people making fun of you. You call out trolls, youngins, broke, sig whores, etc. In some extravagant thread about how you're so great and make lots of money or something stupid (cars, house, watch, or boat - are usually the best). Loose "rocks" have been proven to not work out so well FYI.

This creates the illusion that everyone is lower than you.

This way. When you get your ass handed to you on GFY. It almost seems like you're the one coming out on top. Because as you can try to point out, it's only worthless trolls and sig whores making fun of you.

You basically put yourself above people automatically. Anything anyone says is instantly irrelevant, because you can place them into one of the worthless categories you previously mentioned.

How to fail in real life # 1 - taking Gfy seriously

It does seem to work that way at times

:2 cents:

Awesome. You of all people reply to this thread. And with that to say.

I cannot believe you just owned yourself. omfg. And this is why GFY is awesome. :thumbsup

The meta in this thread is so meta, I just metad.

My favorite strategy is to post in a thread about a complex subject and make a drive by comment that is short and cryptic in order to trick people into thinking you are "in the know" and everyone else is so out of touch you can't even begin to set them straight.

For example, in a thread about SEO you should drop in and post something like "this thread is so clueless it's hilarious" or something similar.

Or in a thread about tubes and profits, post something like "If you knew what the stats really looked like you would freak out".

This works two fold, first it makes you look like you have insider knowledge and second, you can't be proven wrong or outed as a phony because you never really said anything in the first place.

Feel free to use these techniques as needed.

Why the tiny text in the sig? so.... tiny.... :helpme

well there goes my #4, #5, and #6 threads...


Thanks asshole. :disgust

I don't use my sig to detract from my posts; I let my personality come through for that.

My favorite strategy is when you pretend you're SO cool that you make observation threads about supposed strategies on GFY like you know the psychology behind everything.

You're like my exact opposite. I have completely useless shit to post, but a completely awesome useful sig.

If we ever touched each other in real life, would we implode?

.... That makes me horny.. :upsidedow

Way to kill the irony I had going.. Douche.

i see idiots, no wait just one

troll :2 cents:

I'm not sure I have a billing model for that.

i sale cheap new accountants

You forgot one important thing,

"People" as you call it here, don't have any manners at all, it's not like in real life,

The behaviour here is at the level of apes / animals, hence the question why anyone serious should take it seriously?

Just a simple rhetorical question.

Welcome to the web 2.0.

Was this a real series?

Anyway, GFY is a handful of smart people, a bunch of blowhards, a few seriously deranged people and enormous amount of wannabes. You should be able continue your series without too much of a problem given the demographics of this place.

That being said, I'm compelled to visit several times a day to follow the nonsense so I can't really bag on anybody else around here.

first guy on gfy to call me that i feel honored :upsidedow

Christ. You actually tried adding to discussion, by bringing up a thread in which this one makes fun of?

We were all having a fun time being stupid until you made it literal. Thanks for killing my thread.

Well it could have been right? I even left the possibilities for prequels.

well that wasn't very troll like.. now i take it back.. unless that was trolling too. then you're an even bigger troll.

You're in the state of pathological denial, I don't know if I should really argue with you or call the doctor right away.

What's the time over there - 11:57 pm?

Any alcohol consumed?

:1orglaugh

denial of what?

you explain that one, within reason - i'll play along.

I see you don't understand the definition of "pathological denial"

Well, good for you you can still be cool at least on GFY.

ok well fuck you then cocksmoker







better? :uhoh

Uhg.. You're trying to prove a point, by linking a thread which this one makes fun of. I'd tell you to go look up denial, but it'd probably be lost on you.

a little :thumbsup

I am above this thread. And yet, I posted in it.

I think I just broke the Universe. Hold me.

so you're not taking GFY seriously, but at the same time, you're here to do biz :upsidedow
