I can't believe this forum got played. -

[Cavity Sam]

It's that pesky desire for fresh lolcow content-- I'll believe any damn thing for lols.
The short lived time I was getting into all of this was fun though.

 

[moonman1488]

I will say that Deagle Nation being extremely dedicated performance art after all means I will never believe in another lolcow again ever.

 

[IcyHotWings]

It'd take a really special kind of lolcow for me. Most of the other new ones are way too one-note for my tastes, and the trolling feels mean spirited.

Is it the CWC-effect? We've all communally lowered our standard for believable human behavior based on our exposure to the likes of CWC, Holden, Nick Bate, and a plethora of other obscenely eccentric individuals, resulting in the mentality that the behavior of Jace, Eli, and Tyce seeming probable?

Is this what it feels like to sell one's soul?



EDIT x∞ : drunk as fuck; ESL.

 

[StallChaser]

No regrets. The whole thing was hilarious, and whether it was a ruse or not was irrelevant.

 

[millais]

Non, rien de rien, non, je ne regrette rien.

I totally get that feel. I don't even follow Jace, like, at all and while I had trouble believing Eli legitimately went to Israel I didn't question Jace for a second. I never really thought about why, but I suppose if I had it would have been something like "if Null and KatsuKitty and everyone else believe he's real, well, they've followed him more than I have, so they'd know." Despite my not following him, I've learned a lot through Kiwi Osmosis and was pretty damn shocked to hear this. Five years ago, though, I would have never believed it.

I'd rather be rused and having a good time then sit there for months angrily spouting "He's fake" yet not being able to provide a bit of solid evidence. None of the people who screeched about Jace being fake could come up with anything to actually prove it. DeagleDad and Jan got us good but they put effort into it and we had fun. No shame in that.

And on top of that, despite getting what should be the last laugh, which is basically an apology from the universe itself, some are still mad.

 

[Zarkon]

I had a ton of fun, and at times actually felt bad for Jace. All and all, this was just awesome.

 

[Crisseh]

Probably on of the greatest pieces of performance art of someone online. I was tricked. So what?

It left me with entertainment, and at times shocking, stupid, or funny moments. I'm simply more amazed, and how it all makes sense now.

Hats off to Jace for that one, a hell of a ride

 

[Konstantinos]

It was a great trip and I'd do it all again if I had the chance.

Didn't that very fake looking beat down video make anyone question this whole thing?

Of course it did, but we wanted to believe. And, if the poll is any indication, the forum as a collective has no regrets.

It looked to me like the typical teenager/trying to be bad ass kid beatdown.

I will tell you one thing. The perfect comedic timing of certain things always made me think a little that it was all a joke. Certain things had such great timing that it was like out of a TV show. I'm mostly talking about on the live streams. When he would cut to a bumper after something just happened, his mic would still be on, and that fact zone music would be playing over him freaking out or something. Almost every time it happened it was perfect timing and hilarious. A little bit of doubt would come into me and then go away as I laughed and continued to believe.

I have no regrets watching any of his stuff. Even his hours long streams which I would listen to the audio of as I play a game or browse the internet. It was all very funny and going back and watching it after the final stream may even make it funnier.

 

[CrispyBacon]

The only thing I regret is not following the antics of Deagle Nation sooner.

 

[John Furrman]

Although he was never real, The Commander will live on forever in my heart.

 

[The Dude]

That was one of the things that made me believe it was a ruse in some way. That and Tyce's inconsistent illiteracy. I have no regrets and I'm glad I got to be part of it in my own little way. Talking to Jace on the phone a few times was a unique experience ne'er to come again.

 

[Danger]

Oh dear I was entertained by something fictional. Shit better toss out all these movies and books while I'm at it. Stan Lee trolled me hard with all that spiderman shit.

I think everyone is in agreement the ride was fun as hell.

 

[Ultimate Grisby]

I had swung back and forth between it being fake and it being legitimate. When the reveal happened, I was laughing. You ever see those guys that get Punk'd and are laughing their ass off at being pranked? That was me. It was so fun.
