I figure we need a new mdog thread.Now where to put it? Has to be Las vegas forum right? That's where this great story takes place.
So I was looking for something specific and was reading through some threads on several forums, until I got a headache and had to stop.While I didn't find what I was looking for, I did find some interesting things I hadn't read or considered before.
I am sorry, I didn't bookmark some of these things so I could post direct quotes, but at one point Mdawg says "I am a writer. It is what I do. Beside what I do professionally, writing is something I enjoy". So I ask others, what does that mean to you? It doesn't say 'fiction' but most 'writing" is fiction and for good reason, that is what gets and holds the attention of readers, which is what this Mdog escapade is all about.
Now what about the phrase 'adventures of'? Is it just me or does anybody else being objective think that sort of implies "made up" or fiction? How about the handle and main "character" in the whole adventure, Mdawg, "dawg" is from hip hop culture and a marketing ploy.
At another point Mdawg said his writings are just for himself at this point. He went on to say that someday he may want to publish his story, but right now it was just for him (and since he is posting it on at least 4 forums, I guess us).
So let's talk about the 4 forums, all with this thread with identical title "adventures of Mdawg". This is clearly a branding marketing technique. This "story" is a brand that he intends to try to monetize at some point.
Mdawg only posts in his Mdawg adventure threads. He is not interested in contributing anything anywhere else. Again, it is about his 'brand'.
Numerous times he has posted about the Alexa ratings of different forums, and threads when he posts vs when he doesn't. I don't know about anyone else, but I wasn't even aware of Alexa ratings, and now that I am could care less. I frequently post things that I suspect won't be very popular threads. But it is something I want to say, like the recent station buffet thread, or perhaps this one. Who the hell posts seeking out ratings? Again, I doubt any of us even knew of that crap. Only a guy with a marketing agenda.
Last year, after he had been posting here during a lengthy suspension at WoV, when the suspension ended, he announced, literally announced, he would only be posting at forums that had the highest Alexa ratings. Again, this is a guy marketing his product and the product is a fictitious tale that he intends to publish and monitize.
Sockpuppets: MucusMarcus and wellbush. Mucusmarcus amazingly signed up at WoV and started posting just when Mdawg was suspended, using a VPN of course. And Wizard looked the other way! Mdog needs these sockpuppets not only for the moral support (and praise) to appear credible, because there are no real people that find him credible, but to constantly bump his thread at WoV. Again, marketing. He can't have the thread die, which it would without these sockpuppet bumps. Interesting that wellbush and marcusmucus haven't shown their face here, where their VPN sockpuppetry wouldn't be tolerated. Only at WoV where Shackleford is oddly tolerating it, in the name of traffic.
Have you noticed the way Mdawg flips on people. Anyone that says anything that Mdawg considers positive, he has good things to say about. But as soon as that person, says anything negative, Mdog turns, like a top. I will use my good friend Rob Singer as an example. When Rob voted in the mdawg poll, which was really Rob voting against me, Mdawg heaped praise on Singer. But more recently Singer posted what he really thought and the mdog turned on the attack guns.
I am going to finish up with a little math: In the mdawg thread on this very forum, last year, someone (I believe half smoke) asked what the probability was for Mdawg having 12 consecutive trips, which he has posted, all lasting days to weeks and winning every trip, playing a -EV game? Tableplay, who is smarter than me with this stuff, answered, 0.00000498383%, later clarifying 1 in 20 million. And that was before Mdawgs 2 most recent trips last fall of more than a month and this current trip of 2 months and 200k winnings. The odds of this now must be well over 1 in several hundred million.
It's a story, a fictional story of a fictional character, very similar to Singer's whole thing. James bond-ish fantasy stuff and nothing else.
