Gangs of BitcoinTalk :)

[o_e_l_e_o]

I was going to kick up a fuss about nutildah excluding me from the thick skin gang, but if I do that I'll no longer be a member.

I thought of that too. It's a trap

[nutildah]

Do you have any proof to back up your claims that LoyceV is 1 person or a person at all?

No I do not. It may be a team of people who works for the NSA.

Atta boy.

I like how simpletons think.🤣 no offence.
There are only 3 main gangs, 2 of them controlling infrastructures, the third act as NPCs( non playable characters, including you, me and the rest of us).

1: Don Hillary aka andco.
Rank: godfather.
Sub gangs: campaigns, entire gambling business, related forum moderation stuff.

2: Dark_Star aka Don corleone.
Rank: godfather.
Role: influencing 90% of gang 1 members( being on his payroll).
Sub gang(s): gang number 1.

3: NPCs.
Role: roaming the boards, giving merits, report shitposts, do the shitposting task on a daily/weekly basis, occasionally guiding newbie NPCs on several topics, constantly trying to prove worth to the governing administration.
Sub gang: outcasts, negative trusted, lurkers in the shadows.

Misc: #1 & #2 are 99 degree master masons, names you frequently see around the boards posting and earning most of the merits are celebrities aka illuminaties. NPCs are mostly sheeps with a chance of some wolves existing as a wild card.

At last let us not forget about theymos aka the president.
Role: please refer to Joe Biden and his role ( practically no important role, just a name and a face). Facking lol.

Edit: Guess I'm starting a new gang called The Shitty Table Maker Gang b/c I don't know how to get all the words in the first column on one row.

Try this (quick and dirty): [...]

color=transparent works even better.

Huh, that's pretty interesting (at least, to me it is).

Loyce suggested working around the problem by simulating a non-breaking space, with:

Foxpup[color=white]_[/color]Merit[color=white]_[/color]Cycling[color=white]_[/color]Club

This would have resulted in visible underscores, so nutildah tweaked it, as follows:

Foxpup[color=white][size=4pt]_[/size][/color]Merit[color=white][size=4pt]_[/size][/color]Cycling[color=white][size=4pt]_[/size][/color]Club

o_e_l_e_o improved it, with:

Foxpup[color=transparent]_[/color]Merit[color=transparent]_[/color]Cycling[color=transparent]_[/color]Club

Another solution would have been to use a real non-breaking space (U+00A0), like this:

Foxpup Merit Cycling Club

It makes me wonder if it would be worth it to add [nbsp] to the BBCode parser? (I've done it on my branch, but don't want to bug theymos with a merge request unless other people think it's useful.)

P.S. So that there's actually something on-topic in this post: I would apply to join the Thick-Skinned gang, but I think my reaction to Loyce making fun of my rank disqualifies me.

Self-reflection is a good start

[nutildah]

I actually tweaked it to make the space between words closer to normal as the _ is wider than a space.


In the past 24 hours I found Jesus and decided to renounce my gang affiliation. It is now clear to me that violence is not the way. I pledge to no longer be part of that life and want to live the rest of my forum days answering a higher calling.

Ah, I see. Although it does also have the effect (at least, on my display) of making the underscores basically invisible (which, even though you were only trying to make them narrower, is a nice consequence).

In the past 24 hours I found Jesus

That was quick! I'm still looking...

[BayAreaCoins]

If you have to ask to join the Thick Skin Gang, your skin is not thick enough IMO. 

[LoyceV]

Guess I'm starting a new gang called The Shitty Table Maker Gang b/c I don't know how to get all the words in the first column on one row.

Code:

[color=white]_[/color]

color=transparent

real non-breaking space (U+00A0)

I count 4 members already, but I suggest to change the name to The Table Gang. It's more mysterious and reminds me of the Factoid:

I HATE TABLES I HATE TABLES I HA(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ TABLES I HATE TABLES I HATE TABLES

[o_e_l_e_o]

I suggest that we table that motion. Equally mysteriously, you now have no idea if I am now supporting it or rejecting it.

So basically, it's Aladeen?

[o_e_l_e_o]

Aladeen!

[GazetaBitcoin]

Dear nutildah, first of all, welcome back I know you left the forum for a while and many were sure you left forever these harsh territories, which are so difficult for living that even Satoshi is banned

Second of all, thank you for your update. I checked your analysis and I've made some changes.

Where are the gangs now?

Now let's see...

Name	Status	Notes
Foxpup_Merit_Cycling_Club_	Active	Still going strong as evidenced by avatar wearers.

Amen, brother!

Name	Status	Notes
Thick-Skinned Gang	Threatened	Could just be LoyceV, in that case is 1 person still a "gang"? idk

But he is not alone He is the gang leader. However, he has some adepts:

2. The Thick-Skinned Gang
Supreme Leader: LoyceV
Known members and adulators (wannabees): so far are known just lovesmayfamilis, LoyceMobile, mindrust, o_e_l_e_o, suchmoon, Royse777; this gang might be a secret one, thus it may involve more members.

Besides, don't underestimate the highlighted part

Name	Status	Notes
Nullian Cult	Inactive	Disappeared when nullius lost his marbles & left the forum for the 6th time.

I moved this gang to Defunct section:

Edit: This one-man-army gang is now defunct, as its leader, after a short come-back, vanished again from forum's badlands.

Name	Status	Notes
Clown Cartel	Dissolved	Defeated by TECSHARE (RIP).

Wait... what?! No way, Clowns Cartel still exists! It must be so! Otherwise I lived in a dream for almost 11 months now! I thought I was there too, together with all good guys like wolwoo, Timelord some other clowns... Was I dreaming? I thought I was there, in their tiny car!!!

Name	Status	Notes
Spambusters Gang	Inactive	Haven't heard a whole lot from them lately.

Well, hilariousandco offers a monthly update about how many reports were made. Their number decreased, but the gang is not yet dead. For example, I (almost alone) cleared all 200 threads which were full of spam from Rikafip's topic Oo

Name	Status	Notes
Scambusters Gang	Dissolved	Dissipated after the mysterious disappearance of boss ICOEthics.

This band was sort of erratic even since I wrote this topic, as ICOEthics was not active before the existence of the topic. Its members seem to act chaotically, but they still do a good job. Take lovemayfamilis, for example. Or take yourself  

Name	Status	Notes
Cult of Lauda	Dissolved	Boss Lauda was mortally wounded and forced into retirement.

Cult of Lauda is already at Defunct section, for a long time now...

Edit: Guess I'm starting a new gang called The Shitty Table Maker Gang b/c I don't know how to get all the words in the first column on one row.

If I am allowed, I would also sign-up for this gang and worship you as its true leader! (I am always asking for help when I have to deal with BBCode tables  ).

[LoyceV]

Allow me to suggest a new Gang: The Italian Brotherhood:

• Most united local board: Italian, by far. In my opinion, the greatest brotherhood can be found inside Italian board.

It sounds scary

[GazetaBitcoin]

Now that's a great gang indeed! I'll think about a nice description and I'll come back with it!

[fillippone]

Wow, it was quicker than I had thought!
I knew someone was going to refer to this:

3,2,1 all’ Italian mafia… si accettano scommesse…

I didn’t see it coming from you, @LoyceV.

Lol! You actually posted this 11 minutes before I did Now I could pretend I read Italian, but I prefer to think GMTA

[GazetaBitcoin]

Allow me to suggest a new Gang: The Italian Brotherhood [...]

It sounds scary

The Italian Brotherhood
Supreme Leader: fillippone, which is involved also in other shenanigans with Merit Cycling Club
Known members and adulators (wannabees): gbianchi, giammangiato, bitbollo, turtlecute, conilmionome, Paolo.Demidov, babo, Plutosky, hymperion, duesoldi, mendace, creep_o, Lillominato89, and the rest of the clan.
Reputation: in my opinion, the greatest brotherhood can be found inside Italian board. This gang looks so fearsome that even The Supreme Leader of The Thick-Skinned Gang said it's scary.
Activity: more research needed. The gang was just exposed, by an accidental mistake, and now it needs to be investigated properly in order to find out what interests its lieutenants have.
ANN: none.
First mention: February 4th, 2034, 16:40:34, when LoyceV exposed them (most likely, this was possible due to a fatal mistake of their leader, which mentioned their local mafia in plain sight).
Misc: their war cry is the following one: "3,2,1 all’ Italian mafia… si accettano scommesse…". In the end, wolwoo was right when he said that "the forum is run like a family, like the Corleone family"!
Emblem: none.
