The Rat King Chart of Doom - Lend me your autism, fellow Farmers.

I think really what we've learned from this thread more than anything is how little we understand our own lolcows despite how much we discuss them. This ties back to the overall challenge of trying to neatly classify people who are, by definition, nonsensical and extremist.

I've been going off of "if they're friends, draw a line", but really you could take that to all sorts of logical extremes. Peter Coffin and Margaret Pless are friends, you draw a line from her to to Vordrak and add in everyone from Donny Long to Connor Bible. To combat this problem, we have two options that would put us on the path to actually finishing the chart:
  1. We reach a consensus on who's included and who isn't before we update things. Jaimas's list is a good place to start with that, all we'd have to decide on are the gray areas like David Gallant and co.
  2. We just indicate the different groupings within the chart. The true Rat King is technically just associates of Phil, we could circle out that grouping and then circle out different groupings for the Norasphere, CON, etc.

just keep making more and more rat shapes as you go. it's OK if the center ends up looking like shit. that's what holds the rats together after all

And so everybody knows, I'm not fucking off. Work picked up this week, especially the archives I work with. But next few days will be spent on this project.

I do thank those who gave feedback.

@InLivingTuna, especially thank you for the suggestion. The entire spectrum maybe quite huge to go with. I'll probably introduce a legend soon for the people and update some items per your thoughts.

It will definitely be a rather large project trying to catalogue everybody, but I'm glad you aren't leaving it behind. I think you should decide rather soon which of the two options you're going to go with. If we're going to make a list we need to get started on that.

I honestly think we group them together. They all connect to ADF and Wesley. I think we have the NoraSphere, the TorenSphere (which actually now includes Gendermom, and it's through TLL), possibility of a NekoSphere with her "classy ladies", and possibly a BlaqueSphere with the "reporter" troons.

Alright, I'll get started on the next revision of the chart in a few minutes. the shape might end up completely fucked so apologies in advance if it does.
