Would Freepers still carry out their "Ultimate Freep" if Kerry wins
Edited on Mon Mar-22-04 09:34 PM by mot78
I've heard from a number of DUers that Freepers, about two years ago, began planning a covert takeover of DU, where they'd register, run up their post counts, and even donate to get a gold star, and then "un-mask" on Election Night if * wins (aka operation "Ultimate Freep"). But I'm wondering if they'd still do this if Kerry wins. Or would they be shitting themselves too much to do it, and put it off for another occasion...say the 2006 midterm elections...or 2008.

1. It's good they donated
DU can always use their money and when they un-mask they'll just all be tombstoned anyway.

2. They could not wait that long
most can not make it to 20 posts before they are spotted.

4. Yeah, but some of the more intelligent Freeps could go years without
being noticed.

6. Agreed
If any of them were smart enough to pass as DUers for hundreds of posts (political posts, not throwaway Lounge posts), then they wouldn't be freepers to begin with.

3. It definitely would be interesting to see....
though I know I will not be here to see it. I will be on the road traveling to Florida for a cruise the next day. I leave from VA at 6:02 am just after polls open and I contribute my vote to give Crawford back its idiot.

5. I gotta admit...that WOULD be pretty clever
And for that reason I believe they wouldn't be able to pull it off.

7. We know who they all are.
We've got secret mods and black lists. One button and they're all toast.

14. They've been trying to takeover DU since day 1
They view us as Poland, and them as Nazi Germany.

9. Here's some proof
To: PaulJ
How many DUmmies?
In their wildest dreams...30,000+
In their more honest moments 3,000
In truth about half that I'd and that includes at least three dozen freepers in disguise. The secret is to hang out in the lounge and act like a horny 15yr old until you get a couple hundred posts and a few friends. Then you can hit the regular forums and tweak here and there. Right now most of us are pumping up the little general.

If you can photoshop a few Bush insult pics you are a hit right away. You really have to bash Bush to get any street creds with this crew though. If they only knew how many of the old guard are not what we seem.

We are planning a 'coming out' party for election night '04. I can hardly wait until the masks are removed.

And yes DUmmies, i know you are reading this. I wish I could use one of your freaking silly :wave: emoticons.

Don't forget!! Midnight of election night, everyone is going to un-mask. I have a couple new IDs set up for furture use though. I signed on to one of those cheapie ISP's for a couple months and established a new account every week or so. Best dog gone 20 bucks I've spent in a long time.

You have to be careful and clear your cookie file before each attempt and it's not foolproof since their mods can read some sort of number that is unique to each computer but I work in a computer shop and there are always machines I can use for sign up.
I bet they will shut down registrations before the elections so if you are going to set up accounts, don't wait until the last minute!

12. Wow...talk about people seriously in need of getting a life!
Let's see...they come over and remain stealth for awhile, and then go "boo" on election night. And....so? It's like that old Halloween prank of running up to someone's door, knocking, and running away.

How pathetically sad. I find it impossible to give a single shit about the "ultimate freep."

15. Wow, all that for nothing.
So they come out and say,"haha we are really freepers." Mega-uber yawn.

13. So some Freepers can pretend to have it right
then can suddenly reveal to the whole world they actually have it wrong.

Wow. If you hold up a fish, can they jump through a hoop, too ?

16. Don't know, don't care
Those freepers must be the biggest bunch of sorry-ass losers in all of cyberspace. And that's saying a lot!

18. They'd have to be doing something to mess things up...
Edited on Mon Mar-22-04 09:52 PM by LoZoccolo
...if they want to accomplish anything. Like telling us to vote for Nader or complaining that Kerry belonged to Skull and Bones or getting people worked up with hyperpolitically-correct arguments. Otherwise, they just act like one of us so much that nothing happens, and waste a bunch of their time.

19. I really wouldn't worry about it
If a few freepers and some of their friends - if they have any friends - decide to "unmask" on election night, we'll shut them off in about five seconds flat and that will spoil their three years of patient plotting. It should be quite a show, if it happens, which it probably won't.

I'm going to lock this thread now though, because we don't like to encourage people to hunt freepers. Leave it to the mods.

I will say this however - anyone who is currently posting on DU is welcome to post on DU. Anyone who is not welcome at DU will have their accounts shut off. Anyone who has spent three years pretending to be a liberal in order to go out in a five second blaze of glory on election night is a moron.
