The Master Plan

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Jump to: navigation, search

The Master Plan, AKA "I meant to do that", is a catch-all defense that can be used in any situation where one party has been owned by another, or by themselves. The mechanics of it being that, although it's an obvious lie, the proof that it's a lie is now safely tucked away inside the owned party's head. The downside is that anyone possessing the logic skills of a 4th grader can quickly tear this defense to shreds.

It was you that got pwned. Do you really think I would put my dox all over my Facebook? It was part of the plan, and you fell for it! Haha

Variations

  • The Method Actor

First pioneered by pigslop, this variant is used in cases of self-pwnage, where one wishes to dismiss all their stupid blunders as "acting".

 
 
You guys don't know anything about me. I am a method actor.

It's not clear who used this first, but it's usage is very widespread. The basic premise is that by saying that everything was "a troll", that somehow the owned party will get to escape with some shred of dignity.

 
 
Have you taken into consideration this is may be a rather large, elaborate, and complex troll.

  • The Joke

This variant is extremely widespread OL and IRL. Delivery is usually done right after someone realizes they just said something completely ridiculous.

 
 
Hehe. I was just joking when I said "I like dog cock in my mouth".

Very similar to "The Method Actor", this version is also used in cases where one owns oneself in a public or semi-public setting. The theory being that any self-created uncomfortable situation on the internet can be backpeddled out of, if the party who ruins themself simply dismisses all their faggotry as a "social experiment".



The Master Plan is part of a series on Language & Communication.
