"Conspiracy theorists" are a classic example of the flip side of religion: an overactive *and creative* imagination; the inability to tell reality apart from a SOMEWHAT ORIGINAL work of fiction, as opposed to the religious inability to tell reality apart from a traditional work of fiction.

As such, they're usually a hilarious read. And then sometimes they take Mage: The Ascension as historical fact AND THEN, when called on it, integrate the existence of the game into the delusions.

COMEDY GOLD.

(Also, memo to slacktivist: When you've realised that the map doesn't match the territory, has never matched the territory, requires constant adjustments to make it come close to looking something like the territory, and even then you really have to get in there with scissors, tape, correcting fluid, and a sharpie to get something even *slightly* close to matching where you've been, let alone where you're going? That's a sign that *your map is garbage*. That's a sign that your map has never been, at all, an even slightly accurate depiction of the territory and rather than CONSTANTLY readjust it and blame yourself for the failure, the only sane response is to throw it out and start from scratch. And you yourself *have already come to* the conclusion that the map doesn't match, has never matched, and will never match without editing.)

They're not even gamers. They don't even know what is a roleplaying game. They're paranoid nutters picking "facts" off whatever ersatz material they come across.
