The guide to doom. How to doom monger good and proper.

How to get loads of pages on your doom mongering threads
My guide to trolling, er dooming, on here for newbs.

1) Use words in the titles like 'warning' or danger'
2) Never be specific where the doom will happen or what nature the doom will take(like it will happen at 12.14 in Paris, France on Friday the 6th of August 2010)
3) Use strange turns of phrase so that people interpret what you say or claim you work for the CIA or KGB or whoever.But don't claim this yourself, unless you really do.
4) Give the domm-wanters a deadline, like 24 hrs or 300 days or 2012 or whatever. Everyone likes to count the days down to Doom.and then say 'bah, you lied' at the end after staying up all night in front of their computer to see what wpould happen.
5) Half way through the thread, leave, and don't come back. This is true of many of the doom threads I've read here.(Russian doom, Mexican predictions etc)
6) Make claims that are sure to come true, here's a handy list of events that will happen this year somewhere on earth
Earthquake
Volcano
Oil spill
Flooding
Hurricane/tornado
7) If the thread gets to 60 pages, you've reached critical mass and can claim doom troll success.
8 If the thread goes beyond 100 pages then time for the champagne.
9) If you don't leave, make sure you bump the thread loads and when an earthquake or whatever happens, you can say 'told you so' and claim to be a prophet.then you can leave the thread.
10) Or start a thread like 'i'm an "XXXX" ask me a question'
always good for a laugh.
11) Eventually someone will say 'what if he meant 301 days instead of 300 or 24 hours instead of 14 or 2013 instead of 2012.Smile. You got into their skin.

keep this up until the site becomes a pastiche of itself... wait a minute, it already is.


Challenge to you doomers.
Someone post a guide to predictions that were made on here and came true! it'll be a very short thread.
Don't forget the guide for your next dooming fun.
