I just thought of something, what if everything up until the "mysterious benefactor" (lets call this mystery person OPRAH because lets face it, if anyone is gonna give money its her) was fake just to troll the forum and disappear into the sunset thinking she "died". But since 'Oprah' offered to give Xuphor (if she even exists) money, she decided to edit her plans a bit. Let's say she saw a chance to make some really easy cash and took the money. Of course to make sure the benefactor actually gave the money she had to "find a donor" so Oprah would send the money. Then it had to be successful for the benefactor to not ask for the money or whatever cash was left over back. If this is true i can conclude 3 things:

1) Xuphor could be way more fucked up in the head then we ever thought (not confirmed yet so dont quote me on this).
2) This community isn't just about games but should feel like a second family to everyone so even if it was fake, if a similar situation happens like this again i expect EVERYONE to react the same way they have done the past couple of weeks. (confirmed).
3) i have 3 points. (Half Life 3 confirmed).

Well yeah it's Xuphor's account. But if it she just posted that, wouldn't it say online? Or was the screenshot just taken a few minutes ago?

nvm, I just looked, said that funnyjunk account was last logged in today.

It says "online" only when that person actually is online, no matter when the post is made.

I'm more than positive she's reading this thread, or at least read most of it. I'm honestly shocked and confused, you really can't trust anybody anymore.

She'll probably avoid getting back on the temp if she faked her disease or something.

What I'm worried about now is that if that mysterious temper really exists - is that they weren't scammed out of their money. They could have made it sound like nothing - but we know that sometimes people will give their lives for one another. Some people are too kind. What I'm trying to say is that I hope the kindness wasn't being abused - and I'm remembering a certain 3DS decapping thread.

(inb4 people start asking if Xuphor and Kinekto are gshock himself)

If Xuph and Kin are two different people - well I do hope that Xuph is doing well, still, but holy shitballs am I appalled and just shocked at all of this. (sorry XD) I shouldn't be, but yeah.

I feel like I got here kinda late, but meh I'm always usually the last one to the party, especially when forum politics are involved. (haha, pun.)

It restored my faith in humanity too, seeing how everyone cared, but if Xuph played us like that, it destroys my faith. I guess all we can do is still hope for the best. Kudos to everyone's detective work - making us see the light.

If this is a hoax, it could as well be a so called "social experiment", or "art", or a project on psychology or something.
Also, mods and admins would be able to tell if Xuph has been online I'd guess? So (s)he wouldn't be able to read this without anyone noticing....? (oh wait... as a guest perhaps! Hmm , then only her IP would tell).
Ah, but remember, her "sister" was house sitting and using Xuphor's computer to update people. Thus, there would be no way to tell via IP address whether or not Xuphor has been visiting, especially because whenever she goes to the hospital and reports it on a forum, she ends up conveniently in a wifi dead zone, so no visits from a hospital IP address could ever be gathered.

As tempting as it may be to make an emotional comment about how my feelings have been betrayed and all that jazz, I wont.
Coz if this IS a prank, all it will do is make the prankster feel better about their successful job.

I'll still have faith in the legitimacy of Xuphor's condition. Until proved without a shadow of a doubt otherwise, coz I cant see the benefit of doing something like that. That isnt something that can give someone shits and giggles. That's sick.

Leave this situation as is. By doing so we do the better option in both scenarios
1. Not let our minds be angered by doubt and make her feel terrible if Xuphor's story is real and Kinecto just had a freak out.
2. Not give sick trolls satisfaction by expressing our anger and doubts.

Thats my view.

Yeah, but I meant this specific thread. My guess is that the "sister" hasn't been online either since the last post.

Oh, and in that thread from that other forum (11 months ago) she found a spot at that hospital where it wasn't a dead zone and yada yada.. being able to play the game from there...

I haven't been checking out GOTC since this whole thing began, so yesterday decided I read through the whole thread. By the way everyone was reacting to it, I thought it was completely legit...up until the inconsistencies near the end (even though the miraculous donor+lung transplant seemed a bit too good to be true). Now with the final post, and this, I really don't know what to think. What would Xuphor even get from pulling a hoax like this? And if Kinecto is truly telling the truth (and really her sister), why would she go that low to lie about something in attempt to turn the whole community against her?

Let the drama begin ;o;


This outta be interesting



Wow. If you all keep it up, Xuphor might not come back to the forum, regardless of whether or not this was real.

Xuphor isn't at fault, her sister may be though. Did you read Kinekto's "last" post? She said herself she doesn't even like Xuphor.

Interesting, I'm gonna go grab popcorn from the corner store, there's drama coming for us. She's talking to a temper.
There's a temper here who has to speak in right now.
