Tuthmosis and I conspired to prank the internet that I was in jail. The picture used is from the German DDR museum. Two weeks ago I put it on my personal FB page and had worried friends contacting me asking if I was okay. Realizing the power of the photo, I came up with the idea to have a hoax with two stages: (1) Me in jail, and (2) Tuth going "mad" with power.

I expect many of you to be annoyed, and I hope Tuth and I didn't betray your trust with the prank, but the security and viability of the forum was never compromised and the picture was just too good not to use. Credit goes to Tuth for his "new rules" (http://www.rooshvforum.com/thread-33639-...#pid667804 ), which---if you were in on the joke---was quite amusing. I also did not expect the story to be as believed as it was, since there are many flaws in the picture that suggest it's not a real jail cell, but on the other hand, the prospect of me going to jail is not unexpected. If you are pissed off, I recommend you read Tuth's bulletins to see the humor in the prank (the "bill me later" option was my favorite).

I do sincerely appreciate the thoughts of concern of my Polish imprisonment. Now of course I really will be jailed and no one will believe it because of this false jailing accusation. In case of a real "involuntary absence" from the forum, I trust Tuth to continue moderation efforts. For many years he has selflessly helped me maintain the community we have and not actually gone mad with power.

On a positive note, we managed to troll the tub of estrogen Manboobz and his readers:

Redditor submitted a title saying I went to jail for slapping a feminist:

My favorite comment:

Quote:Roosh is probably facing something like 1 year maximum... with Internet access. He'll be able to manage everything as usual and write for ROK and his blog.

Lastly, I did enjoy the teaching moment of how a coup could really happen. The forum is a microcosm of a real "nation," so to speak. I wouldn't want to piss off its citizens too much, so there will be no more pranking from me, but I hope with this one you were at least entertained.

edit: second

Glad this was only a prank.

Now I can cancel my Amazon order that I was going to ship to you in prison.

Post a pic with today's newspaper.

Lol you guys did a good job of deleting a whole bunch of posts.

Seven day ban for pissing off lots of people. lol

Page 1.

You had me until the thing about a joint venture with the NN forum.

That was impossible to believe.

I think it was more the "Dash Global will be reinstated" that did it.

Also, can we ban Roosh for trolling?

Roosh, you magnificent bastard.

That blue pill subreddit... wow:

Anyone else in the hoax exposing deleted posts crew? It took all of 5 seconds to find this of the DDR museum based on Roosh's original jail photo:

I really enjoyed the whole Tuth going mad with power bit

Short of attempted murder, nothing else would get you that in Poland. I have to say, I had a funny image of you destroying a gypsy in cold blood, fight club style.

Good one though.

I think it was more the "Dash Global will be reinstated" that did it.

Yeah, I really fell for it, until the Dash Global/Naughty Nomad rule change post.
