The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Fun with Jedi mind tricks

The scene in A New Hope where Obi-Wan mind tricks the suspicious stormtroopers is
one of the best known scenes in all the Star Wars films. That scene and other uses of
the mind trick (such as the "death sticks" scene in episode 2) got me thinking; what
if you could use a mind trick to your advantage (for good purposes of course)?
Here's my example:

Bully: I have you now. Now I will...
Me: (waves hand) You don't want to bully me.
Bully: (pause) I don't want to bully you.
Me: You will leave me alone.
Bully: I will leave you alone.
Me: Goodbye. Have a good day.
Bully (walks away) Goodbye. You have a good day too.
