Game of Thrones TV Thread **HBO-Purists ONLY**

Going over the thread, see this post. Example of how legit their speculations are. They get most things wrong, but a good chunk of what happens can be found within their thoughts

I've questioned myself that they might be bookreaders, but I really don't think they are. The level of dedication it would take to pull off trolling that thread would be astronomical IMO

I've enjoyed following this thread so far.. But I think following that link just got me spoiled by a book reader. You're probably underestimating the dedication of trolls.

As a one off example.. I frequent a forum in which years ago, a troll created several fictitious characters, eventually married one of them, survived her death under mysterious circumstances, forum members became generally convinced that he murdered her, the police even did a full blown investigation before discovering that his "wife" never existed.

Trolls love to troll, and they'll work hard at it. If you're serious about quarantining yourself from book spoilers I'd stay away from that link.

meh, I see what you're saying, but if you're not going to do a complete GoT blackout to avoid spoilers, then I think this thread, the 2p2 thread, and the TVWOP (should it be TVWP?) thread are the safest places to discuss the show.

Television (T) Without (Wo) Pity (P) IMO

That's what some dude called it when he referenced it in one of the spoilernit discussions from last year in the 2p2 thread

That's some legit trolling

As for the thread, I think that while there may be some trolls in there, they're not distinguishable due to the nature of what that would take. They're all wrong on most things, so even if a troll is spoiling stuff, you still wouldn't know it because of all the chaff added to the posts

A few random points for my case: a few speculations I have made up have become true, 2p2 figured out one of the major plot points to Breaking Bad, I have posted a lot of the speculations that came out of the TWoP thread on 2p2 where Dids claimed that no big spoilers have been dropped (so it implies most/all of that stuff is wrong)

As for that specific post, I don't really even think that could be a troll. The details and logics are just too much. Like him saying that everybody who ate an apple in the previous ep would die. That wouldn't have been in the book, but if he was going to book-spoil on those three people dying, he somehow came up with that connection?

Then I think most of his other points for future speculations are simply wrong, but no need to go into detail

I do, however, get your feeling. As I have felt quite spoiled by some speculations. There *could* be trolls on there, but I don't think that guy is one of them (if you would like to discuss why in detail, I could), trolling in that thread is gonna be really hard due to it being super modded, and when the trolling does happen, it is bogged down by the person being forced to also get lots of stuff wrong. Personally, I don't follow each poster, so I only get a generalization of some of what is said in that thread, so if I get "spoiled" it's more along the lines of randomness. Anyways, I don't think there are trolls on there, but I could be wrong
