Ghost and True Capitalist Radio General Thread

Today has been extremely shitty for reasons I don't want to go into. Both personal and internationally.

Naturally, finally getting the memo and realizing the Angry Racist Jewish Hambone has in fact fucking returned has brightened my day considerably.

Homestar Runner is updating. Chris is more active than he has been in years. Ghost is back.

I-is the internet circa 2008 coming back?

I've been waiting for this for a while.

Trolling idea: Call some of the bars on 6th street with the ghost sound board. Not only will it make him rage, but they may reveal his real name.

Dude people doing that was part of the reason Ghost left in the first place.

It was? I thought he left because his twitter account got hacked by bronies.

Ok, with that off the table, we can still find ways to troll him. Splices, twitter shout out names, characters, remixes...... the possibilities are endless as long as you're intelligent, creative and maybe tech savy enough to do those things.

No, he got sick and tired of the doxxing wars the took place between the different troll groups and Capitalist Army supporters that ended up indiscriminately targeting a lot of people who followed the show but weren't involved with either side.

It got kinda hard to keep track of what was done by Ghost and what was done by the hackers. I mean, when the only way you communicate with us is Twitter, it would be damn easy for someone to pretend to be him when they've proven they can hack his twitter account.

Whatever. I'm just glad he's back. I never got into the doxxing, anyway. Just troll for the lulz, but don't take it so far that he runs away again.
 
There was this one time on Goofy Bone's show when he was calling bars on 6th Street asking for Ghost, and in the last call, you could actually here this very Ghost-esque laugh in the background that abruptly stopped when the bar employee lowered the phone and shouted "Anyone here go by Ghost?"

Next day on TCR, Ghost was raging about people calling bars on 6th Street looking for him.

ED seem may have a lead on his trail outside of True Capitalist Radio, but it may be nothing. Seems that his TCR logo is the same as a logo for a music magazine and radio show called Third Coast Music whose use of the logo goes back to the 90s. Here's their website: http://www.tcmnradio.com/what.htm

The ED article states that Ghost may be "John Conquest". I haven't tuned into the show to see if it's the same voice, but I doubt it's him, because according to the DJ page on the Third Coast Music site, it seems that John Conquest is from the UK.

This search for the name "John Conquest" in the Austin Chronicle website produces articles referencing the magazine:
http://www.austinchronicle.com/gyrobase/Archive/search?Search="John+Conquest"
Reading through some of the articles it sounds like the Conquest character could be Ghost, but who knows. Also, even if it were him, "John Conquest" is surely another pseudonym.

That theory was run into the ground many many years ago. Basically when Ghost was first looking for a logo, he went in google images and searched for "cowboy hat + skull" and stole John Conquest's logo. When the fans called him out on it several years later, he hosted a fan art competition for an original logo based off the same theme (cowboy hat + skull), and Capitalist Army member Suspicious Tumbleweed crafted the winning entry which he uses to this day.

But don't worry, plenty of fail-trolls called in to the show accusing ghost of being John Conquest until it became a tired, worn-out meme that never got a single cans.wav

This was brought up before on the show and he vehemently denied it was him. He claimed he took the logo because it looked cool and he initially started using it on Yahoo Answers before starting his radio show.

Then again, Ghost has been notoriously hard to dox and covers his tracks VERY well. So we may never know.

It would explain his eclectic taste in music though.

EDIT: Ninja'd

I'd actually hold off on the trolling for a bit - let him get settled in nice and cozy first. Don't want to scare him off too fast.

So THAT'S where the whole John Conquest thing came from! I never knew.

So, what does this mean we need to do? Do we get new troll-named twitter accounts going? Start getting splices and remixes ready? Do we go the subtle route like early on in his show when the trolls first found him? Or do we play nice so we don't scare him off and gradually unleash the trolls?

No trolling plans. We are not an autistic illuminati. If you embarrass yourself or the forum trying to troll, we will ridicule you.
