They really are on to me!

[Triple Zero]

So, yes, Pae is right, in a way.  But not in a way that's useful in this thread.

Hey, no one ever told me my ideas had to be useful...

your ideas have to be useful.

It wouldn't hurt, really.

And how does one go about being a coffee necromancer, Triple Zero? My interest is peaked

Most of my friendgroup is already semi-rebel, but haven't taken notice of the BIP. I've made damn sure they've read PD, though. A few of them are even in on the Cabal. The difficulty lies in being completely free of suspicion and, aggravatingly, I bring suspicion on myself without even doing anything subversive-like. Outwardly, people view me as a Nihilistic metalhead who is an "infinite cesspool of hatred"

Headed to college in september, and only one or two people know me there. A new community would have no suspicions, if i'm careful.

offtopic, but basically i have the tendency to revive yesterday's coffee back from the dead by use of microwaves  see also the recipes subforum.

If you appear like "a nihilistic metalhead who is an infinite cesspool of hatred", they certainly will be suspicious.

If you wanna get really subversive, I reccommend investing in a polo shirt and some khakis. Good pranksters are chameleons, able to disguise themselves as a member of any group. Outlandishness leads to ostracization - you've gotta get past people's defenses by appearing "safe" to them.



also, on forming a cabal--
don't ask people if they want to be in your cabal. Invite them to go do cool stuff, and weeks later after you're the go-to guy for hilarious misadventures, they'll have already joined. The cool thing about having loyal lackeys is that you don't really need to sell them on the ideology as long as they'll do your bidding. 


At least, that's my advice.

[Thelaughingman421]

I wish it were my Cabal, but I can't take the credit for it.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

When I decided to formalize my cabal, I emailed a bunch of people who have been on lardings with me, and asked them if they wanted to do something fun. Amusingly, only my best friend declined, citing "not being a joiner" as her reason.

Now she must be assimilated.

Cram's right.  People at work have NO idea that I am a Death Metal lovin/Discordian-type.  I've become pretty good at compartmentalizing those parts of me to where they cannot easily be detected.  This allows me to actually work in some Discordian-type thought into my work in a way that people don't pick up on.  I've learned to recraft language and to use certain words where these ideas don't sound so "wacky and zany" and are accepted.  Mostly I'm talking about the "think for yourself" principles. 

[GlompChomp]

As a general rule, try to copy the majority's dress style. If popped collars and khakis aren't popular, no matter how straight laced you think they might make you look, you're still attracting attention. Make a habit out of your dress style, as abrupt changes draw more suspicion than most other things. If someone questions you about it, explain how you are growing out of your old phase. Even better, talk about how you've decided to live more responsibly etc. You might even be surprised by who's hiding out amongst the [insert popular stereotype]. You can't possibly be the only one doing this, after all.
