Laik Türkiye Cumhuriyeti ve onun sahibi olduğu ulusa ihanet edenler..

Bir yazı dizisiz için uzun bir başlık olabilir.

Adın isterseniz siz verin ama şeyh said, saidi nursi, vahdettin, batılıların desteklediği nurcular ve alt yapıları ve de pkk, hizbullah, taliban, işid vs gibi özellikle amerikanın desteklediği terör örgütlerini anlatacağım ve tabi ki de içimizdeki bopçu hainleri.. Bu hainlerin içinde milyon dolarlık zırhlı araçlar gezen tarikat ve cemaat ceo'ları da var. Adı menzil olsıun, ismailağa olsun, süleymancı olsun, veya diğerleri.. HEPSİ HAİNDİR!.. Bunlar ve bunları destekleyen hangi siyasetçi varsa HAİNDİR!... Fetöşün çocukları ile O.Ç. (operasyon çocukları) olan ortakları hiç irtibatlarını koparmamış anlaşılan; koparmış olsalardı eski fetö bankasının müdürü devletin önemli finans kurumlarının başına getirlir miydi? Olan cahil fetöcülere oldu, hak ettiler. Sırada adalet, bürokrasi ve en önemlisi ise siyasilerde.. Dün fetö vardı bugün mencizciler, süleymancılar, ismailağacılar vs vs ve alt fraksioyonları var. Ülkemizin ulus devlet olarak her bireyinin eşit olduğu bir hukuk devleti ferdi olup, haklarını kullanabileceği bir ülke için en büyük beka sorunu bop eşbaşkanıdır. Çakma dindarlar ve onların milliyetçiyim diyen köpekleri giderse ülkemiz en geç 10 yılda kendine gelebilir (Yıpranmışlığı ve yoldan çıkmış bir devletin durumunu siz düşünün!)

Amerika dünya için en büyük sorunlardan biri çünkü 70li yıllarda başlayan enperyalist amerikan şirketleri gördüler ki "ulus" devletler yayılma ve sömürgecilikte en byük engeldi. Atatürk'ün kurduğu demokrasiyle yönetilen Türkiye en büyük sorun idi. Onlar da arap yarım adasındaki feodaliteyle yönetilen ülkere gözlerini diktiler, başardılar. Yılbaşına bir kaç gün kaldı, Filistin'de Natenyahu soykırım yaparken, araplar "Noel" kutlaması yapıyor!

Filistin diye g..tünü yırtan çakma müslümanlar İsrail'e gemilerle malzeme gönderip arapların noel kutlamalarını göremiyor! Sorun bu değil aslın, asıl sorun bu riyakarlığı, sahtekarlığı, iki yüzlülüğü göremeyen halkımızda aramak lazım.

Ey cahil sürüsü, Noel ile yılbaşı aynı değildir. Batılıların kültürü yalan ve hırsızlık üzerine kurulmuştur. Noel bile onlara ait değil! Yılbaşını Hıristiyanlık dahil bir dine bağlayarak yorum yapan, fiili bir işe kalkışanlar, gerçeği bildikleri halde manipülasyon yapanlar CAHİL YOBAZDIR. Ya da BİRİLERİNİN MAŞASIDIR.

Geçen yıl bu günlerde çatıya çıkan taliban vari bir sakallı vardı, noel babasını bekliyormuş!? 😄😄😄 Yorumum: "Ne kadar inanıyorsa noel babası için çatıya kadar çıkmış'" oldu... Beyaz tv başta olmak üzere bütün yandaş tvler bu kadar tasmalarını tutanların reklamını yaparsa olacak şey böyle gerçekleşir..

Ve siz de cahillere prim veriyorsunuz. Ülkenin bu halde olmasının en büyük nedeni muhalefet partileridir. Onca SKANDAL'a rağmen hükümet el değiştirmedi. Benim siysete ve siyasetçilere güvenim SIFIR.

Uyanacak olanlar sizlersiniz. Bu devletin, ülkenin, toprakların, hastanelerin, limanların, üniversitelerin, fabrikaların vs vs hepsinin sahibi sizsiniz. Tapusu size ait olan tek şey oturduğunuz ev değil, en önemli tapu Cumhuriyettir ve sizindir o tapu. Büyük tapunuza sahip çıkmazsanız o büyük tapunun sınırları içindeki küçük tapunuz da (şahsi eviniz) bir gün hain vahdettinciler tarafından alınacak.

Keşke Yunan kazansaydı diyen deli Kadir'i ziyaret eden Diyanet Başkanını ve Fransız sever Halil Konakçı imamı aklımızda. Unutulacak kişiler değilller bunlar, Kubilay'ı şehit eden hainlerle bunların hiçbir farkı yok; HEPSİ HAİN.. Bunlar her iftiralarından sonra ÖDÜLLENDİRENLER "EN BÜYÜK HAİNDİR."

Dün çok ünlü yurtdışı istihbarat gazeteciliği yapan bir değerli insanı kaybettik. Avrupalı bir fikir öncüsü adamla olan ropörtajıı okudum. Adam "Biz Avrupalı'ların kadim düşmanı Türk'lerdir." diyor ve sebebini de açıklıyor: Korku.. Bu yüzden Avrupa'da ilerlemenin tetikçisi oldunuz diyor. Ve bizden çok şey öğrendiklerini de itiraf ediyor (en başta mühendislik ve savaş teknikleri).

Biraz toparlayayım bu yazıyı;

12 şehit verdik. Tek sorumlusu ve her türlü desteği veren Amerika'dır. Onları devlet politikaları açısından İngilizler haricinde hiçbir ülke sevmiyor. Kuklanız Menderes ile başladığınız ama 61 müdahalesiyle sekteye uğrayan ve sonra 70 li yıllardaki çomaklarınız ve Kenan Evren gibi sizin askerlerinizle tekrar devam eden, cia ajanınız Fuller ile "Siyasal İslam" ucubenizi Özal ile yerleştirip teyyo ile temellerini güçlendirdiğiniz bu yoz ve İslamiyeti değiştirme çabanız (Adnan Oktar, Menzilciler, Nurcular, İsmailağacılar, Süleymancılar ve diğerleri) son bulmak üzere. Devlet bürokrasisindeki zayıf karakterli kişileri bir takım bop saltanatına yakın vakıflarca cebren ve hile ile kendi tarafınıza çekmiş olabilirsiniz. Merak etmeyin, önce onlar konuşacak, sonra siz...

Özgürlüğün bedeli vardır, yine öderiz. Peki siz hazır mısınız?

6 Years Ago - 24 BBY

You swear you've made this place—your apartment— as neat and tidy as possible. The trait is a part of you after all—it might or might not be something you've brought with yourself from your past life, aside from your lightsaber. Every moment after you wake up you always keep your space organized. Or you're trying. At least no trash around—no empty bottles of cheap alcohol and no empty takeaway boxes. You know better.

But somehow, every night you return home from hunt, you always find your things cluttered as if there's an unknown stray tooka living in your space—a modest apartment somewhere in the Coruscant lower levels close to 1313, which is, heck, it's not even lower levels by term anymore—it is by all means the underworld.

You sigh and step inside, shrugging your outer layers off and immediately hang it up on the rack near the front door, said door hissing close with a click after you turn on the lock mechanism for the night. Marching further inside after hopping out of your boots, your apartment lights up automatically by sensor.

Rent is pricey, but with your Jedi-trained stamina and stealth and everything else, you always make quick and efficient work in bringing in bodies either warm or cold, depending on your target pucks. Always another job after finishing one. You're thriving. You have to. Life is not free or discounted even for the poorest folks in the worst streets of Coruscant. Your earnings go to rent and food and water and speeder maintenance. As much as a cleaning droid may be helpful to keep the space clean, you're already used to doing things by yourself since childhood. So, no point.

The chronometer—ticking, just the way you like it, despite the provided silent settings in a click of a button—shows 2248. Too late for dinner. You just took one extra job today and client wanted them alive, so the struggle was… struggling. You were too far to go around and pick up dinner at your favorite hole-in-the-wall fried grains place, you figured you would just order from your datapad.

And you did just that. A shower—Force knows how many liters of grimy water down the drain later, your honey roasted nuna and flatbread with a side of bean sprout salad in peanut sauce dressing arrives at your doorstep. Dinner. First bite is just as alright as any other night—late dinner. Warm. Not stale. Comfortable. Everything there is. Lacks dessert, though. Sometimes you miss the Temple's moist and buttery blumberry muffin. Sometimes you don't care.

You wait for an hour. Cleaning up, scrolling through your datapad while clocking bounties they put up in the deepnet and keeping up with the news column, shaking your head at either yet another political poodoo or celebrity stunts. Coruscant is alive even at night as it is during the day—the ecumenopolis that never sleeps—something that you hadn't quite learned when you were still living under the Temple's roof behind a certain limit of everything and under the unseen ever-watchful eyes, despite the homely comfort.

An hour has passed, your stereo playing soft music in the background as you sit in your living area. Stretching your back as you stand, you turn it off and head toward your bedroom, the lights behind you extinguished as you march far away from the sensors.

Lying down on your pillows is always something you look up at night. At midnight, in this case. Another part of your routine aside from staring at the ceiling is running the pad of your thumb along your Soul Mark. Placed on the inside of your left ring finger, the word 1262 stuck like a permanent ink. You got your Soul Mark when you turned 18—a year of identity crisis before you left the temple and basically became a fugitive of the establishment. 

You always find yourself caressing the Mark. It feels like you already care about them, and honestly you expect the same. Perhaps by brushing your Mark they could feel your presence too, somehow. Like a hand—your hand—rubbing their back to comfort them, or perhaps running your fingers through their hair if they've got any. Is their hair long? Short? Bald? Your curiosity has been eating you for the last three years.

Because you haven't felt anything in return.

There should be something. Some kind of warmth, perhaps. You can only imagine. You journeyed through the holonet in related forums when the anxiety ate you up for ‘troubleshooting’ as if it's a broken device. Well, there are holobooks about this, alright, but you're not purchasing for something you believe you're able to trudge through by yourself. Holonet said your partner might be younger than you because they're not of age yet, so Dreamspace Contact hasn't been made.

You have a younger partner.

You can only hope they're not quite far apart. You don't know if you can handle a 20-year difference in a stride. Also it's disgusting. You're in your early twenties—that’d make them a baby still. You shudder and clench your eyes shut, hugging your pillows close to your body and intending to just sleep it right off.

Sleep envelops you quickly, but instead of that usual and bizarre timeskip to the morning, your body, or what you think is your body, is suspended mid air. Or floating. Airy. Gliding through space. Floating is more like it. Empty space. Except, it's not quite empty.

You can't see the color of your skin or the color of the clothes you wear to bed tonight—all you're feeling is having these see-through, shapeless limbs that reflected trillions of colors. Like countless cuts in a precious stone. Like you're a being among the stars, whimsical and spinning across an ethereal, never-ending space. You're bound to the empty, blurry, white space awaiting you—that you can register. Your mind is awake, yet every motion that your formless self makes is indecipherable, as if you're not moving at all. It's like moving underwater.

You gasp—or at least, what you think is a gasp. You've come prepared for this. You read a lot in holonet, and you recalled something familiar those people shared their experience online.

You're commencing Dreamspace Contact.

Your soulmate is here!

Excitement bubbles in your intangible chest—yet you feel it all the same, it's such a wonder. You dart around the space, waiting if something have changed.

“Hello?” you call out, frowning when finding your voice wispy, airy, echoing. Recovering from such discovery, you let your enthusiasm take the best of you. “Anyone in here? I'm here now. We’re making Contact.”

You jump again, and gasp, when the surrounding liminal space before you shifts. One moment later, you're seeing through another's perspective—another��s eyes. You catch glimpses of pristine hallways with hospital-like sterility. Hands, strong and calloused masculine hands in a shade of beautiful bronze. You blink in intrigue, your mouth shapes a little ‘o’ at the reveal, enthusiasm exploding inside your chest in a storm of scurrying butterflies.

The projection flickers.

“Oh stang,” another voice says. They—he—come forward in a stumble. You see the space before you shift abruptly, warping into a form similar to yours. Colorless, shapeless, except the wispy and vague form of a body in white iridescent. And you just know he's stumbling, as if his foot gets caught in a raised threshold.

“Are you okay?” you ask, amusement laced in your airy tone, and you immediately reach out but your body somehow won't let you. Question for another day then. You're too excited to meet your other half. You're stuck in your place, and it seems he is, too.

“Oh wow,” he awes, his voice similarly wispy to yours but leave it to whatever divines residing in the cosmos as to how you hear his voice clearly. “Are you my soulmate?”

You chuckle, and you can feel your cheeks growing hot. “Seems like it,” you answer, your head tilting as you watch him warp in his own space. “Are you okay?” you ask again, wondering if there should be any distress radiating off of him you should've been feeling by now.

“Adjusting to the environment.” You see him nod tentatively. “What'd you call it again? ‘Contact’?”

“Dreamspace Contact,” you clarify, moving your arms around, “This should be the said dreamspace, according to what I've read on the net, too.”

He gapes at you adoringly. “You sound really insightful. Prime, I have a brilliant girlfriend.”

You quench down your blush. “What, you don't know?”

He shrugs his formless shoulders—but then again, you just know that's the movement he's making. “Don't really have access to it.”

Your eyebrows frown. What kind of planet so backwater he doesn't have access to holonet, and perhaps long-distance comms? Is that something that has to do with his… numbers? His name on your skin? His name couldn't be numbers. But then you begin to imagine scenarios. Perhaps if you make him drop the name of his planet, you can travel right down to it and meet him. The problem recedes slowly, eventually.

The question—“Where in the galaxy do you live?”—sprouts out of you before you can stop it.

“Uh, Mid Rim.”

You clock it. Terrible liar. You're so gonna have a lot of fun with this guy.

“No you're not,” you smirk.

“Sorry.” His guilty voice is small, and he makes a motion that looks like rubbing the back of his neck. You smile. “Is it… okay if I keep it under wraps for now?”

“Why tell me later when you can tell me now?”

“It's, um, something. I can't reveal it to you yet. But I will when the time's right, I promise.” He pauses, his mouth forming what seems to be a pout. “Please don't be mad at me. You're not mad… right?”

You let out a sweet laugh that instantly brings heat surging through his chest. “It's fine… love,” you hesitate with the nickname. His iridescent form warps, excitement and how he's flattered exuding through and through. You grin, reeling the pet name back to use it for later date. You want this night to be as comfortable as possible. “I'm not mad.”

His relieved laugh is full of joy. The moment you hear it, you know you're not gonna be bored. You're branding it to your memory as you speak.

“It’s my first time inside this space,” he says, “In fact I've only earned the Mark today.”

Oh, he's younger than you. Despite the quirkiness in his tone, his voice sounds quite manly already. A little scratchy, but he sounds and radiates youthfulness that you suspect you will find contentment in throughout your life. Or maybe you already have.

“It’s your name,” he says, uttering it clearly, “That has to be you, right?”

“That's me,” you smile, “And yours on mine has been 1262 for 3 years.”

“Oh,” he hesitates, “Um, that's me, yeah.”

You watch him. “Why numbers?”

“You can… call me Scorch, if you'd like.”

Deflecting your question. Your excitement dampens, yet understanding arises as quick as it does—it has to be something that he ought to keep under wraps this time. You wonder if he's born a slave that he's given numbers and such name. You're not sure if you can handle toning the situation down and not parading to wherever he is and free him out of his… bounds. Confinement. Whatever that prevents him from living a normal life.

“M’also known as Six-Two sometimes. Whichever you like. Or you can call me ‘baby’.”

You burst out laughing, your soulmate following with his own joyous charming sound. “Up for debate. But I'm not gonna call you by numbers,” you insist. “So. Scorch?”

“The one and only.” Somehow you can see, feel, him grinning. Scorch’s form ripples, his warmth transmitted your way—he’s smitten. Blushing, even. You can tell. “You've got a pretty name, you know that? I'm so glad I met you! And I'm glad we're here.”

“Me too, Scorch,” you laugh gently. “At last. Right?”

He chuckles. “Yeah.”

He sounds young. You find that cute, but leaving you skeptical also. If you have to be the mature one between the two of you, perhaps so be it. You can learn.

“So where are you?” Scorch suddenly asks.

You don't feel the need to lie. “Coruscant.”

“Ah, the heart of the galaxy.”

You hum, nodding. “It's ideal.”

“Mm. For?”

“What I do to float my boat.”

“And that do you do?”

“Corporate,” you fib, “Under multiple bosses.”

And the topic gets lost there when Scorch merely responds with a hum. 

“What about you?” you attempt to reignite the conversation again, “What do you like?”

“Electrical engineering,” Scorch pipes up confidently. “And chemistry, to be honest! I like tinkering with cables and, uh, gas. Maybe engineering mathematics, too.” He stops talking., his form wavering with concern. “Um, you're getting a bit quiet there.”

If you have a mouth, you'd be gaping right now. “I didn't expect that.”

“Really?” Scorch's tone is amused, it's like almost questioning your mundanity. “What did you expect?”

“I don't know, something light. Food, drinks. Hobbies,” you chuckle, feeling stupid. Much. You can barely recall what the general curriculum you've learned from the temple. Maybe meditation techniques and lightsaber katas, along with negotiations—that one was drilled into you. “How about sports?”

“Meshgeroya,” he blurts out. “Limmie, I mean.”

You perk up. Finally. Something familiar. “You play limmie?”

“Mhm! Sometimes. I make a mean goalkeeper.”

“That's amazing, Scorch,” you laugh, relishing in his brilliantly iridescent form—your soulmate. He's happy—you can feel it. Maybe you look like that too—shining radiantly in his eyes, shimmering with love and joy. “So when can we meet?”

“Meet?”

And then he seems… hesitant all of a sudden. Something inside you dampens again that it shatters and almost hurts you.

“Maybe in another couple of years,” he says carefully. “Coruscant, right?”

You've stopped listening after ‘couple of years’. “Why not soon?” you nearly interject. “I've been, um, waiting. Too long.”

Scorch’s light dissipates as he ponders over your confession. “How long have you been waiting?”

You gulp. “Three years.”

Emotions took you to a much wider path long ago, and you've made peace with it—it became a part of you. You don't want to make him angry, painting a displeased frown onto his youthful features, or even force him to something he isn't ready yet. But waiting clogs your heart, and the need to unplug the drain to let it all out is stronger than what's good.

“We could've done so much in three years,” Scorch murmurs.

“Yeah.” Your eyes sting with upcoming tears. Do you even have eyes in this form? You see, but you can't reach. It's what dreams feel like. “But um, that's okay. A couple of years, right? I can wait. It's not like I'm going anywhere. We're already bound.”

“We're already bound,” Scorch repeats, his tone gentle. Almost guilty. Very guilty. The distance between you wanes and blinks and vapors, as if he wants to reach out to you and takes your hands in his. You'd like to imagine him actually does. “Listen… cyare,” he mutters, “I'm really sorry it took this long.”

“It's not your fault, Scorch,” you deflect quickly, feeling ridiculous. And illogical. Unlike you—the bounty hunter within you. “You've just gotten your Mark. It's okay.”

“If you'd been waiting much longer I don't think I'd forgive myself,” he insists, and the space wanes again. You can hear him hiss a breath, as if infuriated, but he controls his emotions well. Scorch's voice remains soft as he reassures you. “You were all by yourself. Out there and alone.”

“That’s okay,” you smile quiveringly, “I'm used to it.”

Your temple life is all you know. And now, bounty hunting and scraping by in the lower levels, where you don't even know if the Temple is keeping tabs on you still. Watching you closely. Sending their Shadows and Guards to hunt you down again. But Coruscant is as vast as it is rotten down far below, and you're thankful for that.

And now knowing Scorch, your soulmate, suddenly you don't want to be alone anymore.

“We can meet like this in the meantime,” Scorch says, his gleeful voice now gentle and calming—it easily reminds you of the fountain in the Temple. “You know what? This is gonna be my most favorite place to hang out. My soulmate is in it forever.”

Despite your disappointment, you smile. A moment like sunshine breaks through the bleak clouds and warms your skin, and you don't want to part from that feeling ever. It would break your heart otherwise, and it would break you even worse. It'd leave you battered, scraping by. It's like being punched by reality twice.

“Hey.” Scorch calls your name, and it rolls off his tongue beautifully. Like it's right. Like it's his right to utter your name like that. Like your name belongs for him to say. “You okay? You're quiet.”

“Mhm.” You sniff quietly. This contact has your longing cured, and you haven’t been happier—in fact you can't remember the last time, save your Knighting. “My favorite place is this grilled meatstick place in Uscru District,” you joke.

“Aww, too bad. Don't worry, sweets. I'll turn this place into your favorite too, how about that?”

A weak laugh escapes you, your heart clenching at his efforts. The world hasn't shifted—it’s all real, and ironically a very real dream. “So you ask me to keep dreaming about you?”

“Cyare, I'm not even asking. I want you to.” Scorch lets out a pleased sigh. You merely watch him, not knowing what to say, showered with the bliss of his presence. “Now that we've met, all I want now is to hit my bed every time I get the chance just so I can dream about you. Which is bad, I wouldn't be able to concentrate during the day. You'd be distracting.”

“Good,” you laugh, “I should be in your head every single waking moment.”

And for Scorch, your sweet-sounding laugh despite your dampened mood is good enough. “Don't worry, okay? I'll be with you as soon as I can.” He smiles, and it's so promising, making you feel so much safer than before, and so radiant that it'd be the one devouring your thoughts. “You have my word, cyare.”

So I made a Danganronpa & AVA/AVM Crossover

But less about the killing games and more like, "How would the Tragedy affect the OuterNet?"

I'ma just copy-paste my Discord ramblings, but yeah, it's gonna get long so buckle up.

At first the OuterNet barely bat an eye at the Tragedy. Some Stick figures even claim that it's just a "Creators' problem," not a "Stick problem." Surprisingly, though, FreedomStick/Freedom Guy (the guy that had an ad that said stop stick slavery!), which I will be calling Rebel from now on, advocated for Sticks to do their part and protect Creators from Viruses and such that come from the OuterNet due to it's connection to the DeepNet (a.k.a the dark web) as they predicted the Despairs' ideals from real life will trickle down and affect them just as much as it'll affect the Real World. While there's not much Sticks can do to their creators from inside the PCs (physically, anyways), there are still ways they can harm them through the internet (gestures to Second forcefully commenting negative things on Facebook through Alan's account, viruses like The Dark Lord's, etc.) So Rebel is trying to get their fellow Sticks to be aware of the Tragedy happening in the Real World and trying to get some protection ideas off the ground, not only for the Creators, but for them, too.

(Btw, this is my design for Rebel, teehee.)

Of course, most of the stick community was not…pleased with Rebel's prediction and some even felt betrayed because it was thanks to them that they weren't treated like slaves from their Creators anymore, freeing them from their misery and/or inspiring them to break away. So having an influential figure be idolized for their, uh, "Anti-Creator" ideals (which is actually just a very extreme version of their beliefs cause in reality, they just want sticks to be treated like people, not hurt the Creators) say something of the "opposite" gets them ignored or even ousted from lots of groups. And so, the OuterNet continued on like normal.

There's just one problem: the Tragedy, and thus the Despairs, quickly makes itself apparent on the Internet.

Due to the OuterNet's nature, it is inherently tied to the Internet, which is where the Creators create most if not all of the websites where a lot of stickfigures come from. Not only that, the OuterNet gets most of it's information and ideas from the Internet, allowing them to stay in touch with the Real World while also inspiring them in ways that can help better their lives (it's why RocketCorp is able to grow as big and as quickly under a few years as it did: Vic saw an opportunity and snatched it while he still could). So, over time, the OuterNet started becoming more and more aware of the Despairs, their nihilistic propaganda campaigns posted all over in ads and news sites, and the harm that has been done all over the world.

Until, one day, the first sight of a Despair stick appeared in the OuterNet and proceeded to wreck havoc. And thanks to the Tragedy ongoing in the Real World, the denizens of the DeepNet becomes more bold in their crimes to the point that they do it in broad daylight. Guess where the Despair stick got it's equipment from.

The first Despair incident gets resolved pretty quickly but not without casualties and the community is shocked that this even happened.

Cue Rebel staring into the camera and having their "I told you so" moment.

Rebel doesn't spend time being petty, though. Instead, they take the opportunity to remind the community of their connection to the Creators and how they are affected by the Real World just as much as them. This incident only proved that their prediction is coming true and that the community is going to need all the help they can get to combat against the upcoming Tragedy. With the results of ignoring the problem shoved right in their faces, most of the community relents and helps out Rebel.

Of course, since this is the Tragedy, some of the ideals of Despairs start affecting the community through their campaigns and many become apathetic to the disasters happening outside and inside the OuterNet. But Rebel refuses to back down and let Despairs hurt any more people, becoming a Symbol of Hope as they fight against the Tragedy and help as many people as they can to protect not only their fellow Stick figures, but also the Creators that are suffering in the Real World. Even if all they can do is keep the DeepNet's crimes isolated in the OuterNet and preventing it from spreading to PCs.

Speaking of Despair sticks, there are three kinds of them:

Created Despair Sticks: These sticks are ones that are created through the Despair ads campaigns. While the Despairs have never intended to make these stick figures due to sentient Sticks being so rare in the Real World that nobody really knows about them unless they're a Creator, sometimes these Sticks will come across these ads and articles on Despairs and their code will be influenced by their "ideals" or even pop out from these Internet campaigns. As a result, it is a part of their nature to create Despair and Destruction to those around them and their surroundings. There are usually no way to reason with these sticks as it is a part of their code and cannot be removed without being killed.

Regular Sticks turning to Despair: Stick figures that have lived relatively normal lives before the Tragedy struck. Most sticks that turn to Despair are ones that have unresolved trauma from their past Creators that absorbing the Despairs' "ideals" encouraged them to finally go back and strike at their Creators, regardless of who gets hurt, or those that already had a nihilistic and pessimistic viewpoint that becoming a Despair is much more preferable than holding the Hope that things will get better. Because to them, the world has already turned to hell. Why not join them instead? It's very hard to reason with these sticks, but some are able to turn away before it's too late. Or at the very least, turn themselves in.

Despair-Infected Sticks: I've debated on whether or not to keep this one but I think it just adds another layer as to why these sticks are different than humans even though they're still people: because they have a code that can be removed or added to depending on if the person is able to access it. This is why Viruses are so dangerous to sticks as they can infect and even destroy their coding from the inside out, which is why Dark had to put in a bunch of safety measures for him to be able to use his Virus with his bracelets and such. Someone from the DeepNet decided it'd be a good idea to create a Despair Virus and sell it to other Despairs simply for the profit. Whether this bit them in the ass or not, we'll never know as they disappeared off the face of the Earth after it was completed. Despite it's creator gone, it was very easy to replicate the Despair Virus and have it infect many unsuspecting Sticks in a populated area. Once infected, they become exactly like every other Despair Stick, however, some victims are able to fight back long enough to beg for help and mercy from those around them. Currently, there is no cure and RocketCorp has been trying to study this virus to find it or at least a means to create back-ups of those infected (even though Vic is secretly selling things to the Despairs so he can fund RocketCorp and continue his goal in finding Alan, oops).

Created Despair Sticks are literally just born like this. Even if they develop into wanting something different, they can't go against their code cause they're born with it and it's literally them so they can't break it unless they break themselves.

Despair-Infected Sticks are literally infected by a virus and are forced to hurt others around them as their coding is forcefully changed and even broken down to make room for the virus. And some are even aware enough to know this and try to fight it. Basically, both are pretty damn bad, while the second type of Despair stick is more a choice than anything else.

And as my mutual pointed out, "infected sticks causes despair for both the infected and the victims surrounding them." It's a cycle, man. Once it starts, it's hard to stop. 💔

As for the Desktop Sticks...why don't we start with how Second and the Color Gang are holding up!

To be honest, they probably didn't notice what the fuck has been going on in the outside world. They've mostly been doing their own thing and having fun. Sure, Alan seems a little…stressed but he's sometimes like that, you know?

And then, Alan kinda just stops showing up.

They didn't think much about it at first. They just kept themselves preoccupied and Second took the time to hang out with the CG some more as he assumed that maybe Alan took a day off to hang out with his family. But then the days start going by and they all look at each other and go, "Hey. Alan hasn't come back yet. Is he okay?" So they decided to open up the Internet to see what's up.

And they get blasted with all the news on the Tragedy: crime has risen, riots are everywhere, terrorists called the Despairs are running around spouting nihilistic bullshit as they destroy buildings and spread their influence. They're all just shocked at what's happening and are frankly, terrified! And then Yellow points out that Alan must have been dealing with this outside in the Real World and and they all go, "OH SHIT, Alan's in danger!"

But, problem! They can't do shit about this.

Yes, they've destroyed Alan's PC numerous times, mostly by accident, mostly from collateral. But they do not have the influence or the bodies to stop the Tragedy in the Real World. All they can do is just…watch and wait for Alan to return. Well, Second and Yellow have been scouting the internet trying to see if they can find traces of Alan but everyone else is kinda just…bundles of anxiety

And then a couple of burglars break in and try to steal Alan's PC. And when Second tries to notify them to stop, they just laugh and ask each other if anyone would buy these sentient sticks off of them! That's when Green took the initiative and said that they're leaving and they all book it into the Minecraft portal so they can try and contact Mango and Purple. They're kinda hoping the OuterNet is faring better than the Real World. (They are all clueless.)

Second and the Gang actually aren't the only Desktop Sticks that have fled to the OuterNet. Some created Stick figures have been losing their Creators one way or another and they've all been immigrating to the OuterNet for safety and security as they have no one to help them or take care of them anymore. Assuming they even know of the existence of the OuterNet. If they don't…they're just kinda stuck on their desktops, alone. They're lucky if they have another Stick figure with them but if they don't, they just sit there and…wait. Like a sad little dog waiting for their owners to return. And that's the "best" case scenario in a situation where a Stick knows nothing of the OuterNet and lost a Creator that genuinely cared for them.

Desktop Sticks are usually ones that have Creators (some simply just come into existence by pure accident through websites and the like, though) and usually are unaware of the OuterNet. Since the OuterNet is kind of a secret safe space for Sticks, DeskTop Sticks aren't really searched for unless they send an SOS through a website. Rebel, of course, tends to travel between many PCs, but it's difficult for them to gain access to these PCs due to firewalls and stuff and often risk getting themselves deleted thanks to those. So it's usually safer to have these Sticks come to OuterNet on their own or through a secret code amongst many different websites that Rebel put out through their own ads. A Desktop Stick and their Creator's relationship is a case by case basis as some Creators treat their sticks like people (or at worse, pets that just so happen to live in their PCs) while others tend to abuse them or try to delete them for "taking up space," which depends on what kind of powers the Stick has (Chosen was kept because he had a use in being an ad-blocker, but was done so against his will). If the Desktop Stick's relationship with a Creator is positive, they usually stick around and stay in the PC, even when they know of the OuterNet's existence. If it's negative/abusive, they tend to break away and live in the OuterNet on their own, which is where Rebel established many communities for those who are new to the OuterNet and needed a place to stay. Every now and then, there are Desktop Sticks that move into the OuterNet due to escaping a horrible Creator, leaving an abandoned PC where the Creator just never took/transfer the Sticks to their new PC, or simply because their Creator passed away and they needed to start a new life. There was a steady flow of Sticks that come in and out of the OuterNet and the immigration was quite manageable.

But then the Tragedy strikes and suddenly, crowds of Sticks have been entering the OuterNet and it becomes very difficult to find the space for all these Sticks as the OuterNet isn't actually that big. Especially in comparison to the Real World. To make matters worse, the Despair Sticks see this as an opportunity to hurt even more Sticks. Many of whom are quite distraught at losing their Creators as, you know, not all of them were horrible people to their little Stick buddies! So hey, they may as well kick them while they're down! So Rebel is kinda just…struggling to find the time and space for the Desktop Sticks to live in and protecting them and they just look at this crowd, sweat, and go, "Wow…that's a lot of Sticks, haha…."

They honestly have no idea where to put all these Sticks, ngl.

And that's actually where Mango and Purple come in.

So, Mango and Purple have been watching this shit all go down. Hell, they actually witnessed the first Despair Stick incident and survived from that, which signaled to them that they can't just bury their heads from this situation. However, Mango prioritized he and Purple's safety first and foremost and the two hid away in Minecraft for a bit, but kept in contact with the OuterNet through phones and such. But as time went on, Purple was getting more and more antsy and Mango can tell just by looking at him. But he wasn't sure what he could do to help…until word spread that there has been a lack of space in the OuterNet due to the amount of DeskTop Sticks escaping there for a chance of safety. And it was then that he realized that, hey, Minecraft has been pretty much untouched from Despairs. And why would it be? It's literally just a game. For all everyone knows, both in the Real World and the OuterNet (except for some people in the DeepNet), it's a game that has existed before the Tragedy and can't really be used to spread any sort of propaganda. It's not as if there couldn't be any servers owned by Despairs, but the likelihood of them spending time on a game outside of their free time is pretty low. It wasn't a foolproof place to live in due to mobs and other environmental hazards, not to mention that Mango and Purple need to use a Nether portal to enter the game and the Nether is! Not friendly, to say the least! But it was the only other option they could use, as long as they're able to establish communities in different Minecraft worlds.

So Mango tells Purple of his plan to let Rebel know about his idea to use Minecraft to establish shelters for their fellow Stick people and Purple jumps at the chance to help. They managed to establish contact with Rebel and tell them of their plan secretly as they didn't want word to spread to the DeepNet or the Despairs on where they're putting the Sticks. Rebel is, surprisingly, all for this idea and helps them iron out the details. The first thing Purple does is create an easier path to some of the Nether portals they've already established in the past and create shelters for the sticks, Rebel and their team escorts a group of Sticks to the portal(s), and Mango helps teach the Sticks on how the game works, keep themselves safe, and how to create their resources like food, wood, take care of animals, etc., etc. Due to the danger that the worlds of Minecraft can pose, the three of them often take turns or team up to escort these groups to the shelters and protect them. This plan has worked for a few years and the Stick communities have grown enough to be able to protect themselves, but it seems that the Despairs and the DeepNet have started to catch on to their plan. They've started to follow the refugees to the portals, forcing Rebel, Mango and Purple to block off or even destroy some of the Nether portals they've established to prevent them from following them into the game. Thankfully, they haven't slipped through their defenses…yet.

This plan isn't foolproof but they're trying their best. At least the Despairs don't have the means to destroy the game! (Don't ask Mango about the time he tried to do exactly that. We don't talk about it.)

But yeah, Mango and Purple get to work with Rebel and Purple is kinda awestruck with hanging out with a historical, even legendary, figure and helping them out. Mango also finds it fascinating to work with Rebel but he quickly finds that for all their admirable traits, they can be quite flawed, too. For starters, they are…quite reckless! And tend to run off and act first, think later. Which contrasts with Mango, who tends to be pretty meticulous in his planning, since he had a step-by-step plan he came up with with Purple in AVM Season 3 (with a few, ahem, "missing" details at the time). And it turns out, while Rebel has a bunch of good ideas on paper, they often need help from their group to bring these ideas to life, cause otherwise they can get quite...aimless and may overlook things that they didn't notice. But the fact that they're willing to listen to other people's advice shows their good qualities in leadership as they're able to listen and examine the flaws of their ideas while still holding their ideals up. These two just tend to butt heads a lot due to their contrasting personalities as Mango is constantly trying to keep Rebel from running into trouble headfirst while Rebel is like, "No, we must act now!!"

Basically like this:

Mango: "Okay, first, we have step A, which will lead into Step B and Purple, you can take care of step C-"

Purple: "Uh, Da- I mean, Mango?"

Mango: "Yes, Purple?"

Purple: "Rebel already left."

Mango:

Rebel, running off to fight the Despair in the vicinity to protect a Stick figure:

Basically, Rebel has the passion and skills, but can also be impatient to a fault and can cause a bigger problem by running headlong into it.

Mango has the genius to examine the scenario and plot around the problem, but may not always be able to act quick enough to save lives.

Both mindsets has it's pros but it can also have their cons, and in a situation like the Tragedy, neither side is in the wrong. But it's a tough situation all around that either one can make things messy. But they're trying their best to work with what they got.

And now, to see how one of the scrunkly cats ever is doing during the Tragedy...*Holds up The Chosen One*

Since this takes place after AVA Season 2 where Dark is MIA by the end of it and obviously after AVM Season 3 since Mango and Purple have already gone through their arcs, Chosen is wandering around trying to undo his wrongs as an ex-terrorist. But he's still wanted by the public for his past crimes, which, yeah, that's bad. Makes sense. But unlike most of the public, Chosen believed in Rebel's prediction as he sees them as an inspiration and has been keeping an eye out on any sort of Despairs. So when the first incident happened, he was immediately on it and was the reason why the problem had been taken care of as quickly as it had happened. Unfortunately, though, time quickly proves that as powerful as Chosen is, he cannot be in two places at once (something Rebel can unfortunately relate to). Despair incidents happen one after another, sometimes at the same time, and he struggled to do his part in protecting other people. To make matters worse, those who actually recognized Chosen often freak out and run away or even beg for mercy, still seeing him as a terrorist. Some even blamed him for some of the Despair incidents he helped resolved, and he ends up being labeled as a Despair due to his past, even though he's been trying to do good for others. Which, ow.

And, to make matters worse, Vic is still on his ass by sending the Mercs after him. Just because the Tragedy is happening doesn't mean that he won't give up his goal on getting his revenge on Alan, not realizing that he had gone missing for awhile now. Vic is more or less a neutral party in the Tragedy, with RocketCorp willingly combating against the Despairs but also buying things from them and/or selling things to them if it means advancing his own personal goals. The Mercs help against the Despair incidents but are also waiting for Chosen to appear so they can capture him…

Fun fact: Mango and Purple witnessed Chosen saving them in the first Despair incident before he left without a word as a little setup for future development. ChoKing in my funky little crossover? It's more likely than you think!

At some point, Second convinces Chosen to meet with Rebel to try and establish that hey, he's NOT a Despair, he's actually trying to help everyone so please stop slandering him like this even though he knows his past is shady as fuck. Chosen agrees, albeit hesitantly as he knows that this is a very dangerous thing to do and he's meeting his idol so he's nervous for another reason, too. Surprisingly, Rebel agrees and even planned to go alone but Mango was insistent that no, they shouldn't go alone, even if he and Purple did personally witness him helping others, as they don't know if he succumbed to Despair or not. So they agreed to bring Mango along with them (Purple was told to keep an eye on the shelters with the rest of CG, much to his disappointment).

Ngl, I think their meeting starts off like this:

Second: "Hey, this is Chosen! He's kinda like my brother."

Rebel, blunt: "Your brother is a terrorist?"

Chosen: *Obtains -1000 psychic damage*

Second:

Rebel:

Mango: "…I think you broke him."

Rebel: "Oh, whoops."

Eventually, though, Chosen becomes honest with his experience and says that he looks up to Rebel as it was thanks to their ad that led to their website that he was able to free himself from the abuse Alan treated him with, and reassures them that he's stopped being a terrorist and has been trying to help and prevent more Despair incidents. Rebel, recognizing that he's genuine in his turnaround, does a 180 in their suspicion and is like, "OH, I love redemptions!" and immediately welcomes him into the group. Naturally, no one really likes this or believes in Chosen outside of Second, the Color Gang, and Rebel, while Mango and Purple are quite skeptical of him. Although Purple is more willing to give him a chance…and maybe wants to see his powers in action. Without the danger, this time. But yeah, Rebel recklessly brings him into the group, which causes a ripple effect of anxiety as most people in the Stick community doesn't agree that he's turned over a new leaf. He did, after all, hurt MANY people in the past and whose to say this isn't a ploy in the making? (It isn't but Chosen can only prove himself through action, not words.) This is pretty much how Mango and Chosen officially meet in this crossover.

Obviously, Mango eventually starts to see that Chosen is doing everything in his power to help others and is kinda just…fumbling as he tries to grasp how Minecraft works, which leads to Mango trying to help and teach him. Ngl, what makes this version of their dynamic hilarious is that this grown-ass middle-age man knows far more about Minecraft than a young adult person. Bonus points that the only reason Mango knows so much about Minecraft is because he was trying to destroy Minecraft in the past.

Speaking of Second, chronologically speaking, Second and the Color Gang end up crossing paths with Mango while he's escorting a group of sticks and after everyone gets over their shock of "wow, more people like us!", they ask if Mango is bringing some friends into Minecraft. Mango then realizes that, oh God, these kids do not know what's happening in the OuterNet, oh no, I have to tell them-

Second and the Color Gang are very distraught that essentially no where is safe but after meeting with Rebel, they suggest that they help out as it's made pretty clear that they're experts in Minecraft and that they can help teach and protect the shelters on how to work in Minecraft. Mango is concerned as he doesn't want to put these kids to work, but they all immediately jump at the chance cause they don't want to sit around and wait any more. Not only because doing nothing would make them anxious, but also cause they want to help as much as they can, too. (It also helps distract them from Alan going missing, although they still put in the effort to search for any signs for him.) Mango relents as he knows these kids are just going to do whatever they want, so he might as well support them and give them guidance instead of shutting them down. And Rebel makes a pretty good point that even though they were just minding their own business, the Tragedy still affected them by taking their Creator away from them, even if he's just missing. Whether they like it or not, they're forced to face the Tragedy so they might as well willingly get involved by doing the right thing.

And I think that Second and co. are very good at their respective jobs at helping others and giving them hope. Because, even though they're kids, they're always trying to find ways to keep things together and do the right thing. They may argue and fight sometimes, but in the end, they always come around a common goal and are able to stay positive despite everything. This happens in canon as in many scenarios, they're always having fun while on their adventures, even when things go wrong. As kids, they shouldn't have to go through all of this. But it's also because they're kids that they're able to see the light, the hope, in things and work hard to do their part in helping others in need. And I think AVM Season 4 can be a great way to tie into this crossover:

People are bored and scared out of their wits? How about Yellow sets up a fun-little cart game for people to watch the Color Gang go ham at!

People are starting to get tired of the same food? Blue and co. go on a journey to start a recipe book and establish a food network across the Minecraft world.

People are losing hope? Green holds a concert - which, uh, ends a lot more chaotically than anyone expected, but the rest of the Color Gang don't seem to be too concern.

Heck, even the prank episode can be shown as Red fucking around in his downtime.

(The Lucky Block episode is a pretty self-contained episode as it mostly happens inside the block so a lot of people probably weren't aware of it.)

Second and co. are constantly coming up with ideas to create fun activities and keep everyone's spirits up, making them very successful Symbols of Hope alongside Rebel. Mango and Purple are also considered as symbols as they work side by side with Rebel and were the ones that came up with this Minecraft Shelters in the first place. Chosen is seen as a symbol of Despair at first, but as time goes on after he joins Rebel's cause, public opinion slowly starts to shift in a better light for him. They don't consider him a complete symbol of hope but he's becoming less and less associated with Despair now, which is more than enough for him.

My Mutual: Gee I sure hope nothing fucks this up-

The Mercs:

LIKE, YEAH, THE DESPAIRS ARE BAD, BUT UNFORTUNATELY, VIC HAS HIS OWN GOALS IN MIND-

At some point the Mercs eventually find out that Chosen is in Minecraft and end up creating their own Nether portal, ambushing a shelter and telling Rebel to bring out the "Despair" and RocketCorp will leave them alone. Chosen immediately tries to give himself up instead of fighting back, but Second is like, "No, don't do it!" and Rebel is like, "NUH UH" and immediately runs in to fight the Mercs themselves. They always got bad vibes from RocketCorp and this just confirms their suspicions that they're up to no good, even going as far as to accuse them in supporting the Despairs themselves. Which, they're technically not wrong about, they just don't have concrete evidence beyond them trying to arrest Chosen, which is would be fair in any other circumstance. This results in a 3 VS 4 scenario where Rebel is fighting the Mercs for Chosen's safety, Chosen is just trying to survive and talk down Rebel, and Second, unlike canon where Chosen kinda just plops them into the situation, jumps in as well to protect Chosen, too. Mango and Purple are doing their best to escort the citizens to safety while the Color Gang are about to go down and help as well-

-But, oops! The Despairs are coming through the very portal the Mercs used to enter their Minecraft world! So the Color Gang is forced to split their attention on the Despairs and destroying the Nether portal while Mango and Purple defend the shelters.

The situation does stabilize once the Despairs are taken care of, but the 3V4 fight pretty much ends in the Mercs favor like in canon, except I'm thinking they take Rebel with them? But they might just leave them paused as they just up and leave, lmao. Either way, RocketCorp's reputation is not going to look good cause everyone saw that, although Rebel will certainly get criticized for their choice as well. And the Mercs destroy the Nether portal on the way out, all dramatically before Green could reach the portal and follow after them. They regroup, discuss what the fuck just happened and the Color Gang are tasked with trying to get them back while Mango and Purple try to manage things in the Minecraft shelters.

That's about it for the "main story" but I do have an idea for The Dark Lord:

Basically, The Dark Lord hid away in the DeepNet and has made a living for himself, even if he's frustrated and hurt by being "betrayed" by Chosen. Honestly, I think he'd take part in the Despair terrorism as he was definitely the most gung-ho about the terrorism back then. Like, even though he planned to hurt Alan with his virus, he still enjoyed the terrorism in the past before ever involving him again. He, again, makes more Viruses and shares them with others…and would give them away to the Despairs, too. Hell, I can see Dark taking part in the incidents, leaving whispers of people witnessing a familiar red blur hurting and killing other people…

Chosen is hoping it's not who he thinks it is.

And the minute word spreads about RocketCorp kidnapping Rebel, Second, and Chosen, Dark is immediately raiding it. To help Chosen? To take his revenge? Who knows, it depends on how you want to interpret him and what you wanna see from him after everything he's done.

Honestly, I don't have a lot of thoughts on The Dark Lord for this, he's kinda just doing his own thing. Same with Vic, but they pretty much lean towards Despair.

(And because I have no idea where else to put this, uh, I kinda forgot that Second would be shocked to learn of Chosen's experience with Alan back then when they meet up with Rebel. Like, yeah, he deleted the Color Gang once and threatened to do it again, but after all this time, it feels more like a misunderstanding as Alan clearly did not realize that they were sentient, even if he was pretty callous about it, and started treating them with kindness and respect. They also can't ask Alan about it right now cause, uh, he's missing. 💔 And while making this post, I realized that Second would find out about Chosen's terrorism through Rebel and other citizens…That's gonna be one hell of a conversation between them once they meet up.)

But yeah, that's about it for the time being. And if you're wondering what made me think of this crossover, well...

I stickfigured Teruya and it spiraled from there. He'd basically be our audience surrogate into the OuterNet if I were to ever write a story on this.

SQUID (Surrogate Quantitative Interpretability for Deepnets), a genomic DNN interpretability framework based on domain-specific surrogate modelling. SQUID approximates genomic DNNs in user-specified regions of sequence space using surrogate models—simpler quantitative models that have inherently interpretable mathematical forms. SQUID leverages domain knowledge to model cis-regulatory mechanisms in genomic DNNs, in particular by removing the confounding effects that nonlinearities and heteroscedastic noise in functional genomics data can have on model interpretation. Benchmarking analysis on multiple genomic DNNs shows that SQUID, when compared to established interpretability methods, identifies motifs that are more consistent across genomic loci and yields improved single-nucleotide variant-effect predictions. SQUID also supports surrogate models that quantify epistatic interactions within and between cis-regulatory elements, as well as global explanations of cis-regulatory mechanisms across sequence contexts. SQUID thus advances the ability to mechanistically interpret genomic DNNs.

actually i need y'all to help me decide.

If it's option 1, Tanis can't do anything else on the internet. i've put some kind of fucked up parental lock on it so that it does one thing, which is access a deepnet marketplace. He doesn't know what an email is, he will never read a tweet, he just mashes buttons on the magical cube and then a parcel of 2C-B arrives at cloud ruler temple somehow.

If it's option 2, he would immediately see the utility of the chainsaw as a weapon but he's a sword guy from way back. Someone would suggest he use it to mow down mythic dawn cultists and he would be offended. like "fuck you actually. despite its brutal appearance this is a really elegant machine, and it's for cutting logs."

For Tanis: 6 and/or 16?

6. If you could give them one modern amenity, what would you give them and why?

I've thought about this quite a bit actually and I'm torn between 1) the ability to purchase research chemicals on the internet or 2) a chainsaw. I just think he would have a lot of fun with either option

16. Can they handle sour tasting foods? Or do they hate them?

He is an alchemist he is always eating sour and bitter things and foisting them on others. Loves a good pickle

How Do The Darknet Marketplace Vendors Gain Their Customers’ Trust?

Trust plays a significant role when it comes to running an e-commerce business. This is because of the fact that in case there is no trust between the buyers and the sellers, then there would be no transaction and hence no profit. Plus, the rate of the recommendation for your business will also be lesser. The same formula gets applied to the darknet marketplaces. The difference is that the later offers massive anonymity, causing some challenges creating trust between the unknown characters.

Darknet Marketplace: Brief and Environment

The dark web marketplaces cannot be accessed via the regular web browsers, but it requires an anonymizing software known as Tor or The Onion Router. The people who access the dark web directories are often stereotyped as untrustworthy, but those untrusted people out there are creating highly efficient markets. Not to be overlooked, they are creating and maintaining trust in an unreliable environment. Why untrustworthy environment? Because the people in communication do not meet in person, and there are no legal regulations that are governing the exchanges. Thus, there are high chances of buyers getting ripped off.

When it comes to the quality of the products, theoretically, it would be quite more natural for the dark net links vendors or sellers to scam their customers sending fake or low-quality products or not deliver their products at all. But this occurs pretty rarely. Instead, you will find vendors praising their e-commerce store, its products, their quality and the reliability of their services. Take an instance, the notorious Silk road was assessed with over a hundred purchases of the drugs made online bearing “high purity levels”.

Darknet Vendor Ratings

Another most important thing that helps in building trust between the hidden wiki vendors and the buyers is the vendor darknet rating. So, similar to almost all the e-commerce websites on the clearnet, the dark web marketplaces also relies on the rating system. It can be said that the same dynamics work for both. Taking into account the dark web marketplaces, each vendor has their individual account that provides all the information of the vendor. The information put out there includes the number of transactions they have completed, the registration period of the vendor, the vendor’s last login time, all the essential pseudonyms etc. The vendor profiles also feature a brief description of the reasons the buyers should choose them over others, refund policy information, stealth methods, postage options. Stealth methods refer to the measures utilized to conceal the drugs while sending via the post. Thus, vendors implement sincere efforts to demonstrate how trustworthy they are. The customers, after receiving their stealth or products, can leave star ratings that increase the value of the vendors.

Dark Web Market Strategies

Next comes the various darknet marketing strategies that resemble the standard ones. If you happen to visit any one of the vendor profiles, you would be able to spot certain things. These are loyalty programs, bulk discounts, free extras for the loyal customers, two-for-one specials and even the vendors’ guarantee refund for the dissatisfied customers. In order to boost sales, the vendors use “Limited Stock” or “Offer Ends On Friday”. Some of the other vendors who are keen enough to build their brand label their drugs as “organic” or “fair trade” in the bid to draw ethical interests. The benevolent drug takers can also avail for “conflict-free” sources of supply. Some of the new vendors will offer free samples in order to establish their reputation. Sometimes, the vendors provide lab testing, or the users may opt for it to understand the purity of the drugs, which either makes or breaks the reputation of the .onion links vendors.

This is pretty much all the possible ways in which the darknet marketplace vendors usually gain their customers’ trust. But certain vendors involve in wrong methods to increase their reputation that might be deceiving.
