The Rat King Chart of Doom - Lend me your autism, fellow Farmers.

[WeaponsGradeAutism]

I will admit, this will be on and off topic, at hand. I'm making good headway with the chart, honestly. In fact, it's scaring me with the connections I'm already seeing from probably 10 percent of the Rat King. However, I need your help and your autism.

@Feline Darkmage, @Jaimas, @Hellfire, and @AnOminous have been tremendous helps with direction. And @Erida has been a good partner in crime. I've also tried to reference as much as I could from this forum and from Lolcows. However, my autism does have limits. And that's where YOU come in. Not to powerlevel, but archiving is my actual RL job. And I'm not bad at it... However, I always need a set of eyes to assist me, as well. Even if it's a minor correction, a major gap to fill, or updates... any bit helps, folks.

Let's archive these fucks, for the next generation to see how fucked up Millenials truly are, shall we?

And with that, the updated chart.

Do the colors mean anything?

 

[AnOminous]

I'd suggest using something like Maltego for complicated, weird, incredibly autistic bullshit like this. I'd also warn that I suspect it spies on you.

They indicate which idiot is linked to which idiot for easy coding.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll update this chart in a few minutes with the connections I'm aware of.

Thought of that first, friend. And I'm sure it does. The good part is that I'm pretty autistic enough to have Excel charting all of this shit.

And correct. I'll also do a legend for the arrows, as well. Because a few are confirmed bed notches, like Eric and the FTM murder duo.

 

[cuddle striker]

it'd be cool to color code by depth of involvement? like the more connections they have, the more red, the less they have, the more green.

like an anti rat rainbow chart

eta: great work making it rat-head shaped, too.a thing of beauty

Thanks for noticing. It's probably going to end up in that shape. Honestly, Phil doesn't have many actual friends out side of the Rattenkönig circle. Hence his place was perfect for the head. And that's why it's the most painful color, too.

What are you regarding as a "connection" for the purposes of this chart? Richard/Terra Jones has connections to quite a few of these people but some are more tenuous than others. His connection to Nina and Greta is well documented. He was buddy, buddy with NekoArc and Laurelai for a while. He's social media friends with Phil.

 

[InLivingTuna]

@WeaponsGradeAutism is it important we keep the rat head shape? Nora is in kind of an awkward spot, so we can't add any of her friends without breaking the shape.

The connections are going two way, I'm using the old "relay" system as a reference. For example, Kat Blaque and Riley Dennis are connected and have appeared together on YouTube, but Kat also follows Katelyn Burns, as a fellow writer from HuffPo. Riley and Kat will have a solid arrow, as they've met and acknowledge each other. Katelyn will have a dotted arrow as they're connected, but haven't met or interacted except as echo chamber.

Ana Maradoll and Katelyn, though, are buddy-buddy, hence the solid arrow. Ana frequently re-tweets and vice versa.

It's really not. I want to make sure we get the connections right. As I told @repentance, the simplest way we can do this without making it a clusterfuck is an assumed relay system. So, feel free to add info.

Nora is really way more central to the specific Rat King(s) that get covered here than Wesley, who is only of historical importance, if that.

Most of the current batch don't even remember Wesley unless he personally raped them, which is fairly likely in some cases, I suppose, but Wesley doesn't really have long term friends as a psychopath.

Nora's also a lot more directly active. About half the Rat King is keenly aware that Laurelai is a shit and want nothing to do with her. Nora's toxic enough to have similar statistics but will still actively go after people she thinks offended her.

I can agree. And the chart is going to reflect that as well. The top half is pretty sparse, as you said. Laurelai has pretty much driven away the more modern members. But Nora keeps the toxicity going, like a poisoned relay system, so to speak.

 

[AnOminous]

There are multiple rat kings, and Nora's is just currently the most prominent since they're so low-tier on the social justice totem pole that they're a joke even to other SJWs and literally blocked by them.

Then there's the Phil ass-patter group, which has contributed a lot, too.

Those are two of the main groups that actually interest us, since being laughably pathetic is really the most important criterion.

There are a number of others with that tag, like that guy who thought it was a good idea to blow dudes in the Wal-Mart bathroom while he worked there and then post that to the net. Many of those other characters have only marginal connections to other Internet drama troons, though.

The more you try to draw a social network diagram of any of this, though, the more it turns into a crazy spiderweb. Try not to lose your mind, lol.

Too late on losing my mind. But Zachary and his "girlfriend" are connected to NekoArc and the two FTMs who helped push Lizzie over the edge

 

[repentance]

I think it's a good idea to focus on the original definitions. A lot of these people are social media friends with pretty much everyone but there are a limited number of key people who wield some type of influence or who are close to those who do.

Merely having a lot of mutuals doesn't really make meaningful connections. Just as they share blocklists, they all try to maximise their followers and many of them tweet at people who don't even acknowledge them.

NekoArc is interesting because he has connections with people from multiple different factions and he always has had. Like Laurelai, he's not necessarily "influential" these days.

 

[InLivingTuna]

Kat also follows Katelyn Burns, as a fellow writer from HuffPo.

There's been back and forth between them. Katelyn responds to Matthew/Kat pretty regularly and Matthew reposted their thread on Laci Green today.

So far the connections I've added are:
Laurelai to Peter Coffin
Peter Coffin to Hbomberguy and Margaret Pless
Margaret Pless to Jennifer McDermott and Samuel Collingwood Smith
Nora Reed to Izzy Galvez and Sarah Butts
Izzy Galvez to Sarah Butts
Katelyn Burns to Kat Blaque
Kat Blaque to Franchesca Ramsey, Gazi Kodzo, and Riley Dennis
Riley Dennis to Milo Stewart

also dw I'm using real names on the actual chart, but for clarity's sake I'm using the aliases here. anyone see something I'm missing?

 

[AnOminous]

The rat king aspect is them being joined at the ass, and that is represented by actual interactions rather than just sort of vaguely knowing each other.
