THE PRESTIGE (2006)

[luka]

you should delete this it looks very mean spirited and unpleasant. dont you agree Gus?

 

[version]

Gus, have you noticed a new defensiveness and prickliness with version now hes making his play for power? hes not the same easy going soul we all fell in love with. hes got something at stake. hes working on something. his path to power.

Is this how it feels to be Craner? A target of Luke's lurid fictions.

I have, he's been trying to win over allies, he's pretty good at it but not as good as he thinks

 

[luka]

we'll work to undermine him wherever we can.

 

[version]

Don't give him anything. Starve him of compliments and recognition. Keep him hungry.

For a while his main technique seemed to be reacting to everyone's banter posts with laughing emojis, no matter how poor the attempt at humor, but I think he's leveled up. He's insidious because he's always learning and improving

 

[luka]

you're right. very astute as ever. we need to keep adapting ourselves if we are to counteract him effectively.

 

[Corpsey]

It's amazing that

1) he's stealthily filled this place with Americans
2) I like all the Americans

 

[version]

It's amazing that

1) I get blamed for all the Americans

I just feel bad if nobody laughs at someone's joke.

I thought about changing my username to Craner, but remembered you can only change it once a month and I'd be stuck in Hell for 28 days.

 

[sus]

I believe luke unequivocally. He's tapped into psychic currents that we could only dream of.

If the pink temple told me to murder version and sink his body to the bottom of the thames I would absolutely, no hesitation.

You were requiting in the pynchon forum!

You were the first and I didn't even invite you. You just jumped through the short-lived blog portal into Dissensus Land.

hes the best one of your ones so far but the rest could still prove themselves and leap ahead in the pecking order we have to watch them closely.
