Seriously, peeps. No one REALLY cares about your stupid rush story.

Oh noes. Teh falsehoods.

/back to my popcorn.

Kevin, don't get all uppity. This is no different than you shutting down rumor threads in the RM forum.

UGAalum94: the problem is, people get called out for being fake. They deny deny deny. The GCers in the kitchen with Dinah get pissed because they need their rush story fix and say DON'T SCARE HER OFF!! WE BELIEVE YOU, PNMSLUTT205! PLEEEEAASE COME BACK!

Like I said, if you're that desperate, go to the oldest pages of the recruitment stories forum.

But sometimes what you want to hear is how the heck the poster is going to pull that junk together. I don't think the Kitchen GCers want the recruitment fix as much as they want to see if the literary feat gets pulled off or not.

It's the more outlandish ones that I hate to see end in the middle because it would be some amazing if it could be concluded.

For example: after having martinis at XYZ, and being verbally assaulted in the bathroom at TUV, we had to fill out our pref list. I really didn't know if my multiple personality disorder best friend from high school was going to get a bid, and I was tempted to put QRS number one just so we could be sisters. But when I went to my rush group I realized that MPDBF got invites back to ABC, the best sorority on campus.

Typical GC user: I think you're lying.

(Of course she's lying. That's not the point.)

Rush thread poster: well if that's how you feel, I'm not telling the rest.

Could she have generated a conclusion that united all the elements of the plot? Now we'll never know. We've read that crap for nothing.

I completely agree.

I don't want to read a fake story with ponies and rainbows that leads to a bid with the "best chapter" on campus. Why even waste time making something like that up? But sometimes, even when everyone knows a story is fake, but it's filled with such nonsense and all kinds of crazy, to the point where it's actually entertaining and you don't really care that it's fiction because the person really is that insane, you kind of want to see where they go with it and how outlandish it can really get.

I liken it to watching the Real World. It claims it's real, you know that half of it isn't, but sometimes, you can't help but watch the ridiculous people on it fail at life.

Exactly.

Some difference actually.

Allowing a rumor which turns out to be false about a house could lead to an investigation. It could also mean civil liability for John.

A rush thread with fake houses based upon the Care Bears or My Little Pony or whatever isn't going to hurt anyone.
