Xelawie Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 So big Youtubers like Nik Nocturnal are making these kinds of videos hyping up their following, making them guess. I say it again, the countdown idea was a great one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftshoe18 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Nik is so convinced that Twenty One Pilots are involved. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coizu Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 The TOP thing is as ridiculous as all the other singer rumors and he is not the only one who is still convinced by it. People latch onto the most random theories for no good reason just because they like the idea I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then everyone is going to be super pissed and act like the announcement was a huge let down when whatever it is, doesn’t include 21 pilots. wrestling fans do this same shit. They come up with the wildest theories and take any random segment or line uttered and decide it has some crazy hidden meaning, and then lose their minds when it doesn’t happen and blame the product for letting them down.

leftshoe18 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 It's so many fan bases. Let's not single out the LP fan base on this. I think leaker/scooper culture has gotten mainstream and those things go viral now. People unknowledgeable or inexperienced with hearing about leaks and rumors take it all as gospel and get pissed when things don't come to fruition. I don't think there's a fan base that I am a part of that I haven't seen that kind of behavior in the past few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinifeijo Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 That same thing happens with series. Reddit's theories always create an unreachable hype. And, with so much pepper creating theories, someone will get it quite right. And then some screenwriters follow reddit and try to change things so they can make something no one predicted. That's the receipt for disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They saw people predicting exactly how the series would go, so they decided they wanted to "subvert expectations" by doing something that nobody would've ever predicted. That sounds good on paper, but in reality it just meant taking the plot in nonsensical directions and having characters make dumb decisions.

I wasn't a big fan, but what I heard was that it was the first series where fan theories on the internet really popularized, writers of the show took a look of their wild ideas and in the end the plot became so overcomplicated and convoluted that not even them could resolve every mystery by the end of the series. My point is, what happened these few last days with the countdown it's just human nature, not that LP fans are specially entitled or unrealistic, almost every passionate fandom has these issues. That's the backside of a fandom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, this is what people do, they hype things up in there minds and now with the online world and communities, they spread crazy rumours, all start believing it, create a massive amount of hype and then get angry when the 'teaser' or what was coming doesn't match the hype. They get angry at the thing for doing this, when it was them themselves that created such artificial hype. Same thing happened with the bleed it out video or when the count down hit zero, people created huge exceptions and when they are not met they get angry but a lot of it was created by themselves. The videos were just videos, the countdown was just a countdown. When you add more story than is there, you create problems. Sometimes you might correctly guess what it means and what the future is and it is fun to do so sometimes, but otherwise you end up disappointed. It's sadly a lot of human nature, people make assumptions, often the world doesn't match with those assumptions that causes people great issues or when they create fake expectations they get very angry at the thing, rather than question their own thinking or methods of being. I'm very curious and usually excitable about these things, but I'm trying to keep a level head and not buy into any of these rumours now and just wait until the annoucement and enjoy the ride, rather than fall for speculation right now, else I will just end up disappointed.

Sukotto Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 While it’s a surprise to have gone with an extended reveal, ultimately the news will come out, whether it’s a leak or on 5/9. I’m not losing sleep over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millytripleseven Posted September 1 Share Posted September 1 It's Sunday. If they were to reverse the clock to 100-hour countdown, the 100 hours until the LPU Event (Sep 5th 12.30PM) falls on today, 8.30 AM Los Angeles time. That's 6 hours from now. Wondering if it's gonna go back to a countdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if it's gonna go back to a countdown. Maybe the countdown is supposed to end at a specific time in the middle of the LPU event. Like, the first part of the event is exclusive and the end of it will be some sort of Livestream when the clock reaches zero. And, coming back to the teasing and expectations topic, it's marketing teams fault too. They know people overreact and still keep on making teasers intentionally dubious.

It's why I'm going to be watching tonight when it reaches 100. Even though I'm 99% sure it's just going to start counting down from 100 again, there is a tiny chance of it being something other than a glitch.

Wondering if it's gonna go back to a countdown. If the clock continues uninterrupted, it should end at 7:15 pm (California local time). Didn't realize this before when it was first revealed, but that does align with shortly after the LPU event. It's scheduled to end at 5:30 pm. So whatever that event is, the LPU fans will know first followed by the rest of the world? EDIT: After looking at the timer again, it seems to have shifted a little so I would need to recalculate when it would end. Quick glance, it look like it would end at the 50 minute mark of whatever hour instead of minute 15 Edited September 1 by LPBatman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be closer to 8PM California/11PM New York/5AM Europe. These don't seem like the best hours to release anything or make a big announcement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
