It is really funny when you think about it that way too. Has the sort of implication that these characters think that Hef can actually do something about it. This looks like a job for Hugh Hefner! Activate the Bunny Signal!

Fucking yes!

I wasn't aware that we were into pataphysics. Good to know. I'll add that to my resume.

I may be a noob myself but, I'm going to have to keep an eye on your posts. Waving bathrobe=perfect image

Thanks.  Ditto and I like the cut of your jib. 


I've been playing with this letter, but decided it was time to hand it off.  Tried translating into the kind of writing Nigel linked to earlier, or Rorshack-speak, but I fail at it (I blame school papers and editing gigs... it's made me a bland panda).  But if it's salvageable, I invite you (anyone) to mess with it.  So, another possible resource: Your tv/internet is controlling you + MK Ultra and Naomi in there (could become a clue later in the conspiracy BBZ thought of) == Project Puppetrat.  Random cabal name: the Fraternal Order of Eris.

Dear Hef,

Please relay my kudos to Hope Dworaczyk!  Her smile never ceases to brighten this horrid world, and we need her light now more than ever.  Though it brings me no joy, I must relay the most recent news from my infiltrator contacts in the government, as their proof is (sadly) airtight. 

You have no doubt noticed our newest generations of citizen seem 'addicted' to their electronics, but I warn you, there is no 'seems.'  Rather, the "Fraternal Order of Eris," a mad Discordian cult, has created this addiction for purposes we can only guess at (quite possibly, their own deranged amusement).

Chemical tests for "Project Puppetrat" began decades ago through their access to "MK-Naomi," a drug supplier for MK-Ultra.  By 1991, a complex soup was developed consisting of pure dopamine, paroxetine (Paxil) and hydrocodone/paracetamol (Vicodin).  Meanwhile, they found the perfect delivery system for Project Puppetrat! 

Seeing no need to inject the substance directly when so many people are reliant on electronics, these deviants connived to add their sick brew to the regular composition of communication devices.  As you know, ICT devices 'leak' minuscule amounts of lead, mercury, etc., and habitual use of ICTs cause chemical build-up in human bodies.  So it is with the dopamine soup release.

The end result is that citizens (instead of feeling assaulted by constant streams of information and demands to instantly respond) are actually addicted to being accessible to their toys!  With no choice but to ignore the environment, politics and their own educations, they fill out endless personality quizzes, 'poke' one another and view asinine videos in an unceasing Pavlovian search for their next fix.  Innocent and unknowing victims of a treacherous and unaccountable cabal.

A thick pair of rubber gloves and gas mask will not keep us safe forever, but may ward off manipulation long enough during my travels to uncover more of this heinous story and finally bring these slippery cultists into the light of public scrutiny!

Trust only the bunnies, Hef.  They are, as ever, blameless.  I will communicate with you again as soon as I know more.

Sincerely,
[_____]

really come on; F.O.E. ?
think they might get smart to what your attempting

[Telarus]

I think we should avoid any obvious 'Discord' memes (but they're good placeholders), as Hef will(might?) probably remember who R.A.W. was.

[the last yatto]

depends usually its the girls answering thee mail, if their e! is anything to go by
so he might enjoy a jake on the editors

This is good to know!  (taking the time to point out the fail - very appreciated)

I'm new to all this discordian stuff (no offense), don't know the history, never finished Illuminatus, and just found out yesterday that there's a history between your main guys and Hef.  Been reading non-stop for the past few months, but really I just like pranks, the trickster philosophy(ies) resonated, and I dove into this site when I found it.  Never occurred to me that F.O.E. would be a more obvious tip off than any of the other cabals listed in the link earlier in the thread.  Would just switching another cabal in there help, or is it doomed?

Really interesting...  Thinking I should take a cue from Twid and sit out 'til I get a better grip (on the history, what other people here are writing about, why this works as a prank, etc.).  Instructions for this were to take already established conspiracy theories and tie them in to Discordian cabals, so my approach was pretty much just cut-paste, but actual discordians will know what are obvious memes and what to avoid.

Back to the readin'.

I recommend that any references to Eris (if necessary) be referred to as Eridian rather than Discordian or Erisian. Eridian is actually correct (as opposed to Erisian which means nothing) and makes the characters seem more pedantic (yes I realize I'm condemning myself as a pedant by saying this), like a pseudointellectual would say, and makes him/them seem like an outsider. Maybe for a cabal name, say The Ancient and Worshipful Order of Erebus, or something like that. You should be involved, I'll be involved as much as I can, my sitting out is more due to get a consistency in writing style. Honestly, I think you're on a roll, and that the vets here will be able to give you guidance on already good ideas.

[Telarus]

Totally! I didn't mean to intimidate you into non-action or anything, but we're still in the phase of tightening down the concept so any ideas are welcome (but will probably have the chaff burnt off).

Welcome to Discord. We're more fucking esoteric than those Crowley fan-bois.

Just as a side note, I interrupted my first rereading of Illuminatus! because my semester started. I took notes with a pencil in the side margins to keep track of ideas that were brought forth, not for Discord's sake, but to make better sense of it. I get the sense that Illuminatus! needs to be read several times to fully appreciate it for the literary work that it is, Discordianism aside. Hell they poke fun at themselves for being drugged out hippies, include a negative book review that is the exact description of the trilogy, and has a hell of an ending. It literally made me laugh out loud when Joe Malik delivered that line in the sub (I was on lunch break at work). Not gonna give it away, but you should read it and appreciate it for what it is. Gonna get back to my note taking after Thursday (tomorrow) when I'm done with finals.

You know, the more I hear people saying that we shouldn't do anything that would lead someone back to this board the more I think that's exactly what we should be doing. Isn't everyone always saying that we need more media exposure? How else are we supposed to get it? The actual discussions that are going on on this board are way spookier than any conspiracy theory we could ever come up with. Think about, we're a bunch of people intentionally trying to cause chaos and confusion.

And what is up with this don't mention RAW stuff anyway? Do you really think Hef personally remembers every teeny tiny detail about everyone he's ever employed and everything those people have ever written? This is Playboy for crying out loud! He's been in this business for like 55 years now and in all that time, how often has the word "Eris" ever been used in the magazine? I bet even Playboy's review of Illuminatus! doesn't mention Her and yet, magically, everybody here really thinks that the people who answer the letters (who may not have even been born when these books were written) will automatically spot the joke as soon as they see that name? Come ooooon! Besides, seeing as how we're creating DIY conspiracy theories, we might as well drop all references to Discordians and just blame everything on the Catholics and Masons (like really real conspiracy theorists do).

Oh and by the way, this line is classic

Trust only the bunnies, Hef.  They are, as ever, blameless.

The creepy thing is that phenomenon you're talking about actually exists, in a way. A recent study suggested that the reason why people find it so hard to avoid texting while driving is that dopamine is actually released to the brain when you get a text message. I think we may need to simplify the "soup" you mentioned though, too many pharmaceutical terms may cause the eyes to glaze over. I'm finishing up a short story right now but I'm gonna get back to my original letter idea soon. I think that our next letter should come from "Eric Burke".
