Including Headliners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm allowed to, I'm currently choosing not to - because it's always useful to have a bit of knowledge in reserve. It helps identify false claims.

If he reveals those acts they'll instantly be on any fake poster and he won't be able to verify it as fake. Not that these leaked posters really need verifying as fake.

Holding back a little bit has been very useful in the past in helping work out who has valid info (or at least, narrowing it down to those more likely to have the real juice).

There's no direct benefit like that that I'm thinking about or measuring. The benefit I'm looking at is more long-term, by being better at the rumours game than others might manage.

Aye, is that what they call the glastof*stf**d effect? Those blighters love a bit of click bait, especially for a vague or wrong rumour sent late at night when people have had some booze that incites a heated debate.
