From meme to MOASS: Part 3 - The Game Begins
Part 1 - The Game Stops Part 2 - The Masterpiece You are here: Part 3 - The Game Begins Part 4 - The Timeline Ends Part 5 - The Crash (20% done) In honor of Kitty. As always, feedback on improvement is very welcome. NFA. “Every great magic trick consists of three parts or acts. The first part is called ‘The Pledge’. The magician shows you something ordinary: a deck of cards, a bird or a man. He shows you this object. Perhaps he asks you to inspect it to see if it is indeed real, unaltered, normal. But of course... it probably isn't. The second act is called ‘The Turn’. The magician takes the ordinary something and makes it do something extraordinary. Now you're looking for the secret... but you won't find it, because of course you're not really looking. You don't really want to know. You want to be fooled. But you wouldn't clap yet. Because making something disappear isn't enough; you have to bring it back. That's why every magic trick has a third act, the hardest part, the part we call ‘The Prestige’.” Volume - Botox Between August 13-31, 2020, Ryan Cohen bought over 6 million shares (9% of GME) and disclosed his filing. The share price doubled and GME's volume on the OTC market exploded. Since then, about 50% of GME's volume went through the OTC - in January 2021 it took off completely: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/tdw59e/the_crooks_keep_cookin_like_nobody_is_lookin/ After Cohen's filing, FTDs grew and on September 22, GME was added to the Reg-SHO list. On October 5 (35 days after the filing), GME and volume increased again. October 8 was GME's 13th consecutive trading day on the list. In a single day, volume exploded by a factor of 23 and GME increased by 42%. 110 days after Cohen's filing was December 19. On December 18, Cohen had increased his position to 9,001,000 shares (12.9% of GME), which was disclosed on the 21st. Did Cohen know the secret rule? https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1dliz91/i_would_like_to_solve_the_puzzle_my_8_ball_answer/ In hindsight, it was clear that GME's price development in 2021 had been controlled with an iron fist by 90-day cycles. A thorough analysis explained the rules and mechanisms behind this timing and showed that it had been going on since (at least) 2016. For most of the cycle, GME was shorted, but when the cycle expired, GME rose and a new cycle started. In 2022, this predictable strategy changed: https://web.archive.org/web/20211118135541/https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/quj97o/gme_evidence_of_predictable_cycles_gme_explained/ Further analysis revealed that the 90-day cycle could be due to variance swaps. Here, it is only the volatility of the stock (price fluctuations) and not the share price that determines the success of the strategy (profit). When algorithms short (sell) variance swaps, they are betting on less volatility that is easy to handle at low volume - another good explanation for the use of OTC and dark pools. For the algorithm to hedge the shorting of a variance swap, it requires calls (the right to sell shares) or puts (the right to sell shares) with very high volatility - in practice at the lowest and highest share prices. These two “ends” pull in opposite directions, fixing the share price and resulting in low volatility. However, this low volatility results in cheap calls and puts (together called options) - the strategy’s major downside: https://web.archive.org/web/20211115185827/https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/qujkk5/gme_evidence_of_predictable_cycles_gme_explained/ After the spring of 2021, volume on OTC and in dark pools fell and stayed low until May 13, 2024, when it suddenly exploded - beating all other stocks' OTC volume. On June 3 (the day after Gill's first YOLO), GME broke its OTC record again. It suddenly made sense why Gill had bought calls at 20 and 25 dollars - they acted like a magnet, pushing GME away from the artificial equilibrium point between the extreme calls/puts. The algorithms had to hedge or deliver FTDs: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1dehtux/the_gme_otc_conspiracy_a_deep_dive_into_over_200/ If the algorithms were indeed “restarted”, GME could expect steadily decreasing volume and volatility - and very cheap calls. In fact, a possible variance swap had been spotted as early as May 15. Lola got ready at the roulette wheel for her third and final bet - how long would the price of calls fall? https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1h6xlx6/comment/m0i6luy/ On October 4, Cohen sent a tweet of himself with wrinkles on his forehead and the text “Botox?”. Exactly one year earlier, Cohen had sent a tweet showing him out of date with a wrinkled face - a face swap with the famous investor Warren Buffet. What had Cohen meant - and anticipated? https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1fwijsf/104_rc_tweets_wrinkled_waves_tinfoil/ According to speculation, it could refer to a 2010 article that described the banks' artificial injections as “financial botox”. On October 18, the S&P 500 index peaked as predicted - the mysterious 110 days were confirmed. On October 25, Cohen deleted the “Botox?” tweet and changed his profile picture to a youthful face with a smooth forehead - in black and white. Were the banks getting ready for a final round of botox? https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1fwfl5d/rc_tweet_decoded/ The wick burns out - Melt-up For the rest of the fall of 2024, volume dropped and GME was fixed at 20-21 dollars - calls became historically cheap. On September 23, the 20 million shares were finally sold. GameStop now had 446 million shares in play in the market and 4.6 billion dollars in its war chest. On September 27, a very large amount of calls were purchased at 20 and 25 dollars that would expire on January 17, 2025 - was this Lola's third bet? https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/1fqybbd/5105_20_and_13325_25_calls_loaded_up_for_jan_17/ On October 25, Cohen sent an interesting series of tweets. The first said “yolo” - would Cohen go “all in”? Next, he sent “Trump Is The Shit” (TITS) and then a blushing emoji. When Cohen sent a blushing emoji on December 9, 2020, 35 days passed before January 13, 2021 - then, GME rose for 15 days. The first emojis on Gill's timeline were a blushing emoji and a “shit” emoji - Cohen's emojis were in reverse order. Would January 13, 2021 repeat on November 29 (35 days after October 25)? Or maybe Cohen pointed back to a “hidden” YOLO on September 20? If GME rose for 15 days after November 29 (like the run-up to January 28, 2021), it would hit December 16 (the 14th was a Saturday). Would the run-up to January 28, 2021 restart on December 16, 2024? This was 145 days after GameStop raised the blood-red pirate flag on July 24. Short sellers had actually gotten three stock sales (warning shots) - “no quarter”. Did it make sense to add the 110 and 35 days together to 145? It turned out that 145 days after “Flipmode 9 7” was November 29 (December 1 was a Sunday). And 145 days after Gill's YOLO and Uno Reverse cards landed on Cohen's “yolo” - did Cohen nod to Gill? The “145” acted as a strange decryption key. On December 18, 2020 (9 days after the blushing emoji), Cohen had finished increasing his position to 9,001,000 shares. Did his “yolo” and blushing emoji on October 25 foreshadow a new stock purchase on November 3rd (9 days later)? There was another cryptic possibility. 145 days before November 3 was June 11, when Gill had posted one of his 10 new memes - about calls. Would Cohen buy calls? On June 12 (the equivalent of November 4), two more memes appeared - a handshake between Roaring Kitty and GameStop, and then “My Masterpiece”. And on June 13 (November 5), Gill posted a “thumper” (from the movie Dune) luring a sandworm - a powerful creature that you can ride on. During the presidential election, on November 5, all eyes would be on the flag (emoji) as the overture began. GME would soon ride the sandworm, but what was it? Did Gill actually have a plan? According to analysis that predicted the price rise at the end of August, 22 dollars was a crucial front if GME's underlying mechanisms were to result in a melt-up. On October 28, GME rose 10%, and when the share price tried to fall below the critical 22 dollars, it immediately rose again - the algorithms had cemented a hard floor under GME that could not be broken. Remarkably, October 25 (the 27th was a Sunday) was 110 days after “Flipmode 9 7 “ (July 9): https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1gefy93/theres_still_1_hour_left_in_extended_hours/ GME's melt-up had finally begun: https://x.com/JRoland_/status/1851095931212423315/video/1 On October 29, a message from the Reddit user “Avocado” was restlessly awaited. In 2021, 2022 and 2023, the user had written the message “Happy Cat Day” on this date. Reminiscent of when Gill said “I'm not a cat” at Congress, it had long been suspected that this was his alternative profile. In 2024, there was not a message, but a filing - Gill had sold his "Dog" shares on September 30. Had we reached the dog emoji on the timeline - Dog Days Are Over? If Gill had converted to GME right away, the FTDs from here would close on November 4 - on top of the UBS cycle. At the same time, the data for "Dog's" FTDs was released. Most days showed “zero”, but on September 20, when Wolverine got a margin call, there were 9 million FTDs... "Dog" (XRT’s largest position) was broken, just as Gill's meme had suggested. XRT was used to bend the rules at FINRA and DTCC: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1gfv0pv/roaring_kitty_shows_prices_are_fake_and_markets Reverse Flipmode - Banana Enthusiast The mysterious 6399 calls held another secret. Formatted as dates, the number could mean 6/3 and 9/9 - June 3 and September 9. 145 days after June 3 would be October 25 (the 26th was a Saturday), when Cohen wrote “yolo” and the blushing emoji. 145 days after September 9 would be January 31, 2025 (February 1 was a Saturday). It was especially striking that 145 days after September 7 (the reverse formatting of “Flipmode 9 7”) was January 30, 2025 - the day before. Were the mysterious calls from GME's unknown guardian angel protecting the share price until a “reverse Flipmode” arrived? It had previously been shown that price trends in August/September 2020 and May/June 2024 mirrored each other. If the trend had continued, January 2021 would have repeated itself in mid-October 2024: https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/1dgj1x2/its_a_fking_mirror_i_hope_youre_ready_to_make/ Already in 2023, analysis had shown that the algorithms guided GME through a series of recognizable patterns that repeated within themselves and in varying lengths of time - fractals. It was striking that the number of memes Gill had sent formed a fractal - 110, 10 and 1. Was it a clue? https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/11lp5p0/gme_has_no_price_discovery_at_all_its_3_seperate The technical analysis had failed to predict the price development because the algorithms changed the fractals continuously: https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/1gyda5f/the_fractal_is_repeating_part_2/ A thorough analysis showed that algorithms had been controlling GME in this way since (at least) 2013: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/owlg3z/the_algorithm_has_been_doing_this_shit_for_years According to Gill, he had been following GME since 2013, so it was possible that he had been decoding the algorithms and milking the corrupt system for profit for years - e.g. since 2019, when he bought GME for the first time: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1h9osrf/rk_revealing_hes_been_tracking_gme_for_over_a/ At the end of October, it was obvious that GME’s price development from January 2021 to May 2024 looked like the movements from May to October - the fractals just moved 7 times faster. May 14 seemed set to repeat itself on November 29 - at “Flipmode 9 7” (price) and “January 13, 2021” (volume): https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/1gfg57s/comment/luif67p/ As of November 5, the S&P 500 index's expected crash came to an abrupt halt, the botox bubble reached new heights, and GME began to rise steadily. Remarkably, Gill had posted a meme titled “SQUEEZE” exactly 4 years earlier - “Remember, remember, the 5th of November”: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1gjvlit/rk_tweet_from_2020_5_november/ November 5th was 145 days after Gill increased his position to 9,001,000 shares and planted a thumper. It now appeared that large funds (primarily BlackRock and Vanguard) and other institutions had purchased over 30 million GameStop shares in the previous two quarters - was GME riding the sandworm? https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1gri125/according_to_recent_13fs_institutions_now_own/ It was a curious coincidence that roughly the same amount of shares had been purchased through dark pools since Gill's YOLO in May. Had institutions bought tickets for GME's Moon trip on the black market? https://x.com/ShaunFitzzzy/status/1833218066173595816 On November 29, GME's melt-up ended. From October 25, the share price had increased by 50%. It was a reassuring nod that Gill's Reddit profile had updated itself with “Banana Beginner” on October 28, and “Banana Enthusiast” on November 29. October 25 (the 27th was a Sunday) was 110 days after “Flipmode 9 7”, and then GME rose over precisely 35 days. 110 days after a critical event seemed to kickstart the closing of a cycle of FTDs. This explained the “145” - the 145th day was the deadline. In fact, 110 days before “Flipmode 9 7” was March 21 - when the Yen's interest rate was raised for the first time since 2007. Would GME’s melt-up restart 110 days after October 27 - on February 14, 2025 [Well, well, well... 167800 dollars, eh?]? https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1h2wffw/the_last_time_the_kitty_got_caught_online/ Stock charts - Requel and MOASS On April 26, 2024, Gill had updated his stock charts - with four dates in a sequence: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1dcs3cn/rory_kittenger_stock_chart_update_10_jun_2024/ October 28: 145 days after 7 billion FTDs hit the market, GME's melt-up started November 28: GME’s melt-up over 35 days ended on November 29 (November 28 was closing day), postponing “Flipmode 9 7” (price) and “January 13, 2021” (volume) December 30: 145 days after the global mini-crash (December 28 was a Saturday) December 7 (a saturday): 145 days after GME peaked on July 17 (“Flipmode 9 7”) This seemed to say that history would repeat itself. The tsunami of FTDs would rise from the depths, GME would rise and there would be another crash. Eventually, GME would “fly to the Moon”. One meme had actually mentioned that Gill was building a Requel (a mix of “remake” and “sequel”) of January 2021. The chronology disappeared at the fourth stock chart, suggesting that in the end you had to go “backwards to win” like Gill's meme of the movie Ready Player One - a “reverse Flipmode”? The fourth stock chart actually marked the anniversary of Japan's parliament removing the microphone. When the interest rate on the Yen rose, it fueled a fire sale of US stocks and Treasuries - the mini-crash. At the Fed’s September meeting the interest rate on the Dollar was lowered - “All eyes on the Fed”, as the financial media always wrote. If the musical notes referred to the somber phrase “When the music stops...”, the eyes, the flag, the microphone and the musical notes on the timeline made coherent sense: https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/1gu179l/will_japan_selling_off_us_debt_trigger_a_fire/ The flame would soon approach the microphone, but when was the explosion? On September 13, exactly 4 months after Gill posted the first of his 110 memes, his brother had posted a picture online that said “Midway” and 4 months later was January 13... If January 13 meant November 29 and this was the halfway point, then “something” would begin after another 4 months - March 29, 2025. That would be exactly two years after Credit Suisse's fateful swaps expired... March 29 was 145 days after November 4, when the FTDs from Credit Suisse's supposed LEAPS should have been closed. All indications pointed to the fact that Credit Suisse's 2-year swaps were renewed at the last minute in 2023 which left UBS hanging out to dry. Since March 29, 2025 was a Saturday, UBS would possibly explode on March 31? https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/1fgb0kq/midway/ The problem with Credit Suisse became apparent in December 2022, when the American institution FDIC, which insures bank deposits, held a long meeting with the European clearing houses. A large, unknown player was at risk of going bankrupt, and this would cause a European clearing house to fail. There was no plan of action or way out, and the US announced that they could not help. Credit Suisse was forced to merge with the country's largest bank, UBS. If UBS went bankrupt, the house of cards would collapse: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/zyevfz/complete_dd_of_the_fdic_meeting_credit_suisse_is When GME rose violently on May 13, 105 days passed before Bruno arrived on August 26. Then, GME rose from August 27 to September 3 - over 5 trading days (September 2 was a closing day). The 110 days seemed to consist of three cycles of FTDs amounting to 105 days, which ended with 5 trading days where FTDs were closed. It looked like a kind of domino where the short seller, the broker and the bank (3 cycles) gave up and left the problem to the DTCC. The 5 trading days matched FINRA's “REX code 060” and “REX code 061”, both dealing with capital shortages - a possible explanation. It was also possible that FTDs ended up in DTCC’s Obligation Warehouse where the pile was left to grow. 105 days after September 3 would be December 17 (right after “no quarter”), so if Bruno returned there, GME could expect to rise between December 18-24. After another 105 days, April 8 was reached, which oddly enough was 35 days before May 13, 2025 - exactly one year after Gill's explosive return. Was this pointing to Requel in January-March and MOASS in April-May? https://www.finra.org/rules-guidance/key-topics/margin-accounts/extension-reason-codes#060 TIME - 69420 On December 5, Gill sent a tweet of an edited Time Magazine cover with the headline “TIME” and a blank video player with the numbers “1:09” and “4:20”. It could just be a joke, as 1 minute is 60 seconds and 69420 is a known internet number. However, December 5 was the reverse formatting of May 12 (5/12) - Gill’s chair meme. It was also notable that 35 days after the tweet would be January 9 - so, “1:09”. In fact, the numbers went on and on. Around 4:20 into his live stream (from June 7), Gill woke up and when the computer clock showed 1:09pm, he said “It might be time”. In addition, some of Gill's memes used music from the game Furi, and on the game's playlist there were two tracks that lasted exactly 1:09 and 4:20 - they were titled “Time to wake up” and “A Monster”. In Gill's meme, Wolverine came to life at 1:09. Would the market maker have a rude awakening in January? https://x.com/EimajNoraa/status/1868577491000197218 It was also possible that Gill was referring to the sandworm - or perhaps to one of his old videos? Gill released a video titled “Monster...” on August 31, 2020, when Cohen bought 9% of GME: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Af9T8TU2OM&list=PLlsPosngRnZ1esbvs4VbjfIOk9F5QYYXS&index=12 Another video was called “Cheers everyone!”, which Gill always introduced his live streams with. However, this one was unusually short - just 1:09. The video was from April 17, 2021 - the day after Gill's doubling: https:// www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1h7i82m/tinfoil_time_rks_video_titled_cheers_everyone_has/ Even Cohen seemed to use these numbers. On April 20, 2021, he had tweeted Teddy (from the movie of the same name) making a drink - did Cohen toast back? https://x.com/ryancohen/status/1384616641087086596 And on January 9, 2023, Cohen had sent a cryptic tweet about being naked - just like Gill's chosen portrayal of Wolverine. The time stamp was 6:20am - could it be 4:20am in another time zone? https://www.reddit.com/r/GME/comments/1hejo26/jan_9th_tweet_620_am/ Was Gill planning to increase his position to 12.9% of GME (equivalent to 57 million shares) around April 20, 2025? Did Gill and Cohen know that someone got caught between “1:09” and “4:20”? Historically, these dates were not all random. On January 1-8, 2021, Archegos started getting into trouble with its 13 billion dollars’ worth of swaps, and on April 22, Credit Suisse said it had dealt with them... Note: Link removed because of the brigading rule (PM and I'll send the source). A thorough analysis showed that 4-year swaps from 2017 could also be in the mix. Volume on almost all the interesting dates in 2021 mirrored 2017, and now 2025 was rapidly approaching: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1hbyto8/gme_has_been_riding_4year_cycles_since_2017_the The timing of the “TIME” tweet was revealing. When the tweet was sent at 1:45pm, GME rose by 10% - and by 1% at 1:45pm the next day. It was precisely at this time that the major British clearing house LCH performed margin calls on swaps. In fact, if you searched for the words “time you cover”, the “TIME” front page appeared. Gill seemed to know exactly when short sellers were covering their costs: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1h9eamp/1345_margin_calls_fuck_a_mcrib_ill_take_a_green On December 10, the quarterly report beat expectations again and it was announced that there would be no more share sales until the fiscal year ended in February 2025. Would GME's “reverse Flipmode” (Requel) begin in January like the 6399 calls predicted? The three stock sales (warning shots) were spent - Lola's third bet had free rein. From December 18-24 (over 5 trading days), GME increased by 9% - Bruno returned just as expected. On December 23rd, XRT was added to the Reg-SHO list. It was an interesting coincidence that the time next to the share price in Gill's live stream was frozen (edited) to 12:22pm - when XRT got on the Reg-SHO list, GME began its thaw. If XRT remained on the list through January 3, 2025 (13 consecutive trading days), shorting via XRT would be restricted - and the countdown to the forced closure of XRT's FTDs would begin. Last warning: “It's TIME you cover”: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1hla3d6/here_we_go_baby_xrt_made_it_back_on_the_nyse XRT’s lent shares - SEC's missing FTDs Despite the Reg-SHO listing, XRT's short percentage continued to increase from 284 to 354 and the number of GameStop shares that market makers borrowed (shorted) from XRT increased by 55%. It was calculated that market makers must have borrowed over 4 million GameStop shares from XRT. GameStop shares from XRT for the ETF to end up on the Reg-SHO list - however, XRT only held 6 million shares in total... In fact, data revealed that the price market makers paid to borrow from XRT had remained high (and constant) ever since May 2024: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/s/auG6htqKq5 On top of that, it turned out that in October 2020, XRT's market maker, IMC, was bought by Citadel Securities (Ken Griffin) - the old acquaintance who, according to the congressional report, helped Robinhood and lied under oath: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1hk0dts/look_what_the_cat_dragged_in_why_imc_may_be_the/ In practice, SEC rules allowed a large player (e.g. Citadel Securities) to borrow shares (e.g. GME) from an ETF (e.g. XRT) to satisfy Reg-SHO: https://x.com/trvsrdrgz2/status/1876834969429082348?mx=2 When the loan of GME from XRT had to be closed, it could even be filled with a completely different stock... XRT's sky-high short percentage was no wonder - the ETF was stuffed with everything else than it should be: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/s9q8qr/how_are_they_shorting_through_etf_fuckery_xrt_as One academic study even found that 80% of all FTDs came from ETFs - it was a strategy: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1imqtts/richard_evans_associate_professor_of_business/ The huge loans from XRT should leave a clear trail of FTDs, but the SEC consistently removed FTDs from certain dates - in August and September 2024, data was missing for half of GME's FTDs. When a Reddit user legally requested the missing FTDs, the SEC refused, since it was “confidential information” that could cause “foreseeable harm”. The SEC wouldn't release the data because it revealed the corrupt players' trade secrets - and the SEC's interference: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1hof6eq/my_foia_request_for_missing_gme_ftd_data_secs One analysis actually showed that GME used to have quite a few days with missing FTDs, but that this changed in 2021 and that the problem had accelerated since - especially after high volume days: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1g6k5xa/sec_strategically_failing_to_deliver_ftd_data/ Another analysis showed that GME consistently decreased during periods with missing FTDs. Further calculation showed that without these shadowy periods, GME could have hit 80 dollars in December 2024: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1hrpbik/the_data_does_not_lie_there_is_something/ At the same time, the machinations were unfolding. It should not be difficult to release FTDs immediately, but the SEC delayed FTDs for two weeks (according to its own rules) and divided each month into two periods - 1-15 and 16 onwards. When GME's and "Dog's" first batch of FTDs from December were released, it was surprising that the last few days were completely missing - not the FTD data, but the days themselves. The same dates were missing from XRT and IJH - the main ETFs from which market makers often borrowed GameStop shares. It was interesting that Friday the 13th of December didn’t exist - “Bear beware”. If someone had gotten a margin call with REX code 068, which ended here, it would originate on November 6, where GME's FTDs were missing. If you went backwards one more REX code 068, you would hit October 1, where FTDs were also missing. It was striking that the previous day was September 30, when Gill sold his "Dog" shares, and UBS' supposed LEAPS had expired. A margin call was likely postponed and hidden: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1i1xp92/jan_17_is_c35_after_friday_the_13th_of_dec_2024/ It was striking that a cycle of FTDs (35 days) after September 20, when "Dog" had 9 million FTDs, landed on October 25 - when the melt-up began. On November 29 (after 35 days), GME paused. January 3 (35 days later) would be XRT's 13th consecutive trading day on the Reg-SHO list... What's in the box? - Give It To Me Baby On December 25th, the anniversary of the TIME cover, Gill sent out a tweet of a Christmas gift. It was classic red and green, but the gold gift ribbon was telling. A “golden ribbon” means that a stock's recent price performance is overtaking the long-term averages - a very bullish sign: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1hndl3n/i_have_never_seen_such_a_beautful_display_of_mas/ It was striking that the time bar in the TIME video player had the same shape as the third sign in the movie Signs - a circle and a long red line. The first and second signs were shown as relatively small, while the third was huge. If this reflected the price increases on May 14 and June 6, GME’s third sign could easily reach thousands of dollars - ”The third sign you won't believe”: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1h7jahi/there_will_be_signs_it_is_time/ It was also striking that Gill's live stream in June had begun at 12:25pm - on December 25? The timing also fitted with a meme of the movie Shawshank Redemption - “Pressure and time...” It was finally time, and the pressure was in the gift. On December 27, GME closed at 32 dollars, which was the highest share price on a Friday since August 2022. In the stock market, Fridays are important because they mark the expiration date of options. Gill had previously used the quote “What's in the box?” from the movie “Se7en”, but it also applied to Dune (the movie with the sandworm) - in both cases the answer was “pain”. In the financial world, Max Pain is the share price of the week with the most open contracts on options - now GME exceeded this threshold. Gill's Christmas gift could indicate that more calls could be converted into shares (green), and pain for short sellers (red). On December 31, the short percentage suddenly doubled for IJH - the largest ETF holding GME (12 million GameStop shares). What had happened? https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1i2oe2e/ijh_which_is_the_top_etf_holding_of_gme_12124924 On January 1, Gill posted a meme of the song Give It To Me Baby - had Gill purchased a large amount of shares that had not been delivered? The song was originally from a purple record album that resembled the purple circle at depository Computershare. What would happen if Gill registered all his shares? https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1hri0uo/the_chapelle_skit_from_rk_post_the_song_playing If the system was fair and there was no naked shorting, it shouldn't ever be a problem… https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/v7yucj/virtu_ceo_to_the_extent_there_is_not_liquidity_on Remarkably, the words “Wait till I squeeze you” came 2:24 into the song - on February 24, 2021, GME soared. Gill's meme also appeared as a thumbnail in an episode of Comedy Central, and when the clip came on, it read “The wait is finally over.” So, when would the wait be over? https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1hrhul2/listen_to_what_the_narrator_says_when_roaring/ On the old Comedy Central DVD's playlist, the episode appeared twice, and if you went chronologically backwards from here (“to win”), you hit two release dates. February 24, which could be “Wait till I squeeze you”, and March 4, which could refer to “The wait is finally over”: https://angry-grandpas-media-library.fandom.com/wiki/Crank_Yankers:_Season_Two,_Volume_One_(2005_DVD)) It was also interesting that the length of the album was 4:07. It was reminiscent of another of Cohen's cryptic tweets (from January 18, 2023). It showed the fictitious news headline “GameStop chair decided on monday to buy all the stocks” and the time “4:07”. Unlike previous years, April 7, 2025 would actually be a Monday... https://x.com/ryancohen/status/1615752534013902857 April 7, 2025 didn't seem random. It would be the day before Bruno's expected third arrival, and exactly 330 days (3x110) after May 12, 2024 - when Gill sent his chair meme. In addition, 35 days after April 7 would be May 12, 2025 - the 330 and 35 days added up to 1 year. This fit with the plot of V for Vendetta, where it took exactly one year for the climax to happen. On May 12, 2021, GameStop's media profile had actually tweeted “Oops *moass* my bad”. The cryptic dates whirled around: https://www.reddit.com/r/Superstonk/comments/1h7ig8n/oops_moass_my_bad/ [Exceeded post limit...

Nelvana Enterprises
Pierwsze logo (15 października 1978 - 2 kwietnia 1988) Logo: Widzimy kredytową wersję Niedźwiedzia Polarnego patrzącego w górę na gwiazdę, jak widać na pokazach Nelvany z lat 1985-2004, z łukiem lub bez. Poniżej znajduje się napis „NELVANA”, „NELVANA LIMITED” lub „A NELVANA PRODUCTION”, czasem z informacjami o prawach autorskich. Wariant: Na wydruku Rock & Rule (1983) logo jest żółte , a nie niebieskie jak w wersji teatralnej. Technika: Brak. Muzyka/Dźwięki: Początkowy lub końcowy temat filmu, prawdopodobnie cisza lub prawdopodobnie końcowy temat programu. Dostępność: Pojawił się na początku lub na końcu filmów wyprodukowanych przez Nelvanę z lat 70. i 80. XX wieku, począwszy od Diabła i Daniela Mouse . Było to również widoczne w Rock & Rule , The Care Bears Movie , The Wild Puffalumps i Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation . Można go również zobaczyć w kreskówce Star Wars: Droids , serialu aktorskim The Edison Twins oraz na wydrukach wczesnych animowanych programów telewizyjnych Nelvany z początku lat 80 . z tymi postaciami z Cleveland). To było używane w tandemie z kolejnym logo do 1988 roku. Drugie logo (13 września 1986 - 1 czerwca 2001) Logo: Na czarnym tle niebieski kwadrat z czerwoną obwódką i białą gwiazdą pośrodku leci z prawego górnego rogu ekranu, stopniowo powiększając się i obracając w kierunku przeciwnym do ruchu wskazówek zegara, aby dopasować się do ekranu, podczas gdy gwiazda mnoży się, tworząc półkolisty kontur z siedmiu gwiazd. Pod półkolem widnieje napis „ NELVANA ”. Zarys gwiazdy świeci od lewej do prawej, a szczytowa gwiazda wysyła deszcz światła (który zaczyna się w kolorze neonowożółtym , potem przechodzi w neonowoniebieski ) wzdłuż środka półkola. Nazwa firmy świeci się na pomarańczowo , a deszcz światła rozwija się w lewo, zmieniając się w neonowoniebieskiego niedźwiedzia polarnego patrzącego w górę. Warianty: Istnieją wersje sfilmowane i nagrane na wideo. Krótki wariant rozpoczyna się świecącymi gwiazdami i animacją „deszcz światła”. To gra z prędkością warp na Eek! Kot przed napisami skompresowanymi lub podzielonym ekranem. Jest to spowolnione w niektórych odcinkach Babar , Przygody Tintina i Sok z żuka . Ta wersja jest bardziej powszechna. Dłuższą wersję można było zobaczyć w niektórych kinowych wydaniach tamtej epoki, w tym Babar: The Movie i Care Bears: Adventure in Wonderland . Po utworzeniu logo niedźwiedź polarny stoi na tylnych łapach przez sekundę, po czym przyjmuje swoją normalną pozycję, po czym wszystkie siedem gwiazdek znika. W zależności od filmu tło będzie albo zwykłe niebieskie (jak widać na Babar: The Movie ), albo czarne (jak widać na Troskliwych Misiach: Przygoda w Krainie Czarów ). Specjalny program telewizyjny z 1988 roku Clifford the Big Red Dog ma rzadki wariant tła gradientowego z logo obracającym się na ekranie od środka. Niektóre odcinki Troskliwych Misiów mają to skrócone. Późniejsze odcinki T i T mają logo szybko obracające się w lewo, aby odsłonić logo Qintex Entertainment (aktualne wydruki, jak widać na kanale YTV Direct na YouTube, mają ten wariant przyklejony przy szóstym logo). Na Fievel's American Tails długa wersja logo jest pokazana w prawym górnym rogu wraz z logo Amblin Television z 1991 roku w lewym górnym rogu i krótkim logo Universal Cartoon Studios z lat 1991-2006 na dole pośrodku. W Family Dog to logo jest pokazane po lewej stronie obok logo Amblin Television z 1991 roku po prawej (bez części wyłączającej). W niemieckim dubbingu animowanego programu specjalnego z 1993 roku The Incredible Crash Dummies to logo jest pokazane po lewej stronie obok logo Lamb & Company. W niektórych odcinkach Blazing Dragons to logo jest wyświetlane po lewej stronie, razem z logo programu Ellipse po prawej stronie. W odcinkach 4 sezonu Eek! Stravaganza (odcinki z Klutterem), to logo jest pokazane na podzielonym ekranie po lewej stronie obok logo Film Roman z lat 1989-1998 po prawej. Odrestaurowane wydruki HD Przygód Tintina widoczne na zagranicznych wydaniach serii Blu-ray zawierają dziwaczny wariant „spowolnionej” krótkiej wersji; tutaj obraz został skurczony do środka ekranu (prawdopodobnie efekt uboczny braku oryginalnych negatywów lub taśmy logo do przywrócenia oraz konwersji serii na panoramiczny). W promocji The Adventures of Tintin logo zostało pokazane po prawej stronie, obok logo programu Ellipse po lewej stronie. Tutaj niedźwiedź polarny i gwiazdy są białe, a tekst „NELVANA” jest zielony . Technika: Animowana w połączeniu tradycyjnej animacji celowniczej i wczesnej grafiki komputerowej. Muzyka/Dźwięki: narastający świst i dramatyczny motyw syntezatora, po którym następuje grzmot i buczenie przypominające dźwięk miecza świetlnego z Gwiezdnych Wojen , gdy zapala się „NELVANA”. W przypadku większości występów Nelvany z lat 90. odtwarzany był motyw końcowy, była cisza lub (rzadko) odtwarzany był motyw standardowy. Warianty muzyki/dźwięków: Wariant tła gradientowego wykorzystywał mistyczny migoczący dźwięk z grzmotem. Niektóre programy specjalne i programy dystrybuowane poza Ameryką Północną wykorzystywały ten wariant, chociaż oryginalne transmisje My Pet Monster miały muzykę z tej wersji odtwarzaną na standardowym logo. W grze Care Bears: Adventure in Wonderland słychać świst, dzwonki wietrzne i marzycielski motyw z syntezatora. W niektórych emisjach Babara pojawia się 4-dźwiękowy ksylofon, który odtwarza logo. W połowie ksylofonu słychać nutę fletu, która gra, dopóki logo się nie skończy. Dostępność: Niezbyt często. Tynkowanie z logo 2004 sprawiło, że nie jest już tak powszechne, ale nadal łatwo je znaleźć. Krótki wariant nadal można zobaczyć w odcinkach Little Bear z lat 1995-2001 i wczesnych odcinkach Franklin w Nick Jr., Eek! Stravaganza (za każdym razem, gdy był ponownie emitowany, zwykle w zagranicznych sieciach Disneya), wydania Fievel's American Tails on Peacock , VHS i Netflix The Magic School Bus (seria 1994) oraz wydania VHS i DVD Care Bears w wersji Nelvana . Wariant kinowy pojawia się w The Care Bears 'Adventure in Wonderland (wariant z czarnym tłem) i Babar: The Movie (wariant z fioletowym tłem). Można go również znaleźć we wszystkich odcinkach Beetlejuice (w tym w zestawie Shout! Factory) i odcinku pilotażowym Donkey Kong Country „I Spy With My Hairy Eye”. Wydruki Netflix The Adventures of Tintin zachowują to logo, podobnie jak wydania DVD tego programu z 2006 roku; w zależności od regionu, wydanie Blu-ray będzie zawierało normalny wariant „spowolniony” lub wersję zmniejszoną. Kiedy Fox Kids ponownie nadawał The Magic School Bus w latach 1998-2002, to logo zostało pominięte. Krótki wariant został zachowany w niektórych odcinkach Babar , kiedy Qubo ponownie odtwarzał serial aż do jego zamknięcia; potwierdzone odcinki, w których go wykorzystano, to „My Dinner with Rataxes” i „A Charmed Life”. Uwaga końcowa: większość programów miała to logo do 1997 r. (po użyciu w tandemie z trzecim logo poniżej), kiedy to przełączono na następne logo. Jednak mimo że logo zostało wycofane w 1996 roku, Little Bear nadal używał go do końca w 2001 roku, a wcześniejsze odcinki Franklina używały tego logo od debiutu w 1997 roku, aż do 1999 roku. Trzecie logo (2 grudnia 1995 - 30 lipca 2005) Logo: Na kosmicznym tle pojawia się błysk światła, gdy logo firmy pojawia się w CGI na tle, które wygląda podobnie do pierwszego logo, z pewnymi wyjątkami: siedmiogwiazdkowe półkole ma niebieski chromowany kontur, podobnie jak niedźwiedź polarny i tekst „NELVANA”. Wielobarwna kometa leci z prawej strony, a gdy mija gwiazdę szczytową i drugą gwiazdę po lewej stronie w półkolu, każda gwiazda zapala się. Warianty: W Cardcaptors: The Movie istnieje rozszerzona wersja, w której występuje bardziej opóźnione pomniejszenie, kończące się animacją logo do tyłu, ale bez animacji komety. Istnieje jeszcze krótsza wersja logo, zaczynająca się od momentu, gdy kometa leci z prawej strony. Czasami jest to odtwarzane w zwolnionym/opóźnionym tempie. Niektóre odcinki Donkey Kong Country mają nieruchome ujęcie tego logo. Począwszy od 2002 roku, dodano napis „Nelvana is a C O r U s Entertainment Company” (z napisem „ C O r U s ” napisanym czcionką firmową), a animacja logo została przesunięta w górę z pomniejszenia. W programach, które Nelvana dystrybuowała na arenie międzynarodowej, słowa „Distributed By” i „INTERNATIONAL” (lub bardzo rzadko „International”) w postaci chironu pojawiają się odpowiednio nad i pod logo. Począwszy od 2002 r., logo jest nieco bardziej oddalane (z dodanym czarnym tłem z tyłu, na co wskazuje lampa błyskowa pojawiająca się tylko na środku), aby zmieścić się w tytule „Nelvana is a C O r U s Entertainment Company” na dole. Począwszy od 1997 r. URL „www.nelvana.com” był czasami dodawany pod lub nad logo. Istnieje wariant teatralny, w którym pięcioramienna gwiazda miga w oddali na znacznie czystszym polu gwiazd, a logo Nelvany (które wygląda bardziej metalicznie, a gwiazdy wokół łuku nigdy nie są tak widoczne), które jest odwrócone na bok, leci w kierunku ekranu i obraca się pionowo. Wariant animacji niedźwiedzia polarnego z trzeciego logo (który stoi przez chwilę na tylnych łapach) jest odtwarzany, gdy ten odwraca się w naszą stronę. Logo na końcu trochę się błyszczy. Wersja kredytowa pojawiła się w Tales From the Crypt w ostatnim odcinku (i jedynym animowanym), „The Third Pig”. Pojawia się również w serii Pippi Longstocking z 1997 roku z logo AB Svensk Filmindustri) , TaurusFilm i TFC Trickompany Filmproduktion GmbH. W japońskim dubbingu Donkey Kong Country wersja bez wiersza pojawia się w napisach i jest animowana w niestandardowym motywie końcowym. Technika: animacja CGI. Muzyka/dźwięki: końcowy motyw programu, ogólny motyw CBS lub cisza. Począwszy od 2002 roku można było usłyszeć kompozycję firmy Animated Audio z Toronto: rozlega się dźwięk „WHOOSH”, po którym następuje nawiedzony dźwięk dzwonka, a następnie drugi „WHOOSH”. Czasami używano tylko pierwszego „WHOOSH” lub wycinano ostatnie „WHOOSH”. Było to używane głównie w rozszerzonym wariancie logo, ale trzeci wariant był również używany w standardowej długiej wersji podczas emisji Pelswick przez Nicktoons w 2004 roku . Warianty muzyki/dźwięków: W zwiastunie filmu Care Bears: Journey to Joke-a-lot słyszymy dźwięk przypominający spadającą gwiazdę przelatującą w czasie wraz z lecącą kometą. Wersja użyta tutaj to ta, która zaczyna się od przelatującej komety. Dostępność: Rzadki, ponownie, ze względu na otynkowanie z logo 2004, ale nadal łatwo go znaleźć. Po raz pierwszy widziany w Niekończąca się opowieść: animowane przygody Bastiana Balthazara Buxa . To logo jest często widoczne na kanale YouTube Retro Rerun Nelvany. Można to zobaczyć między innymi w drugim sezonie Cyberchase , Rolie Polie Olie , pierwszych dwóch sezonach Maxa i Ruby , odcinkach Franklina po 1999 roku . Znajduje się również w ich angielskim dubbingu anime Cardcaptor Sakura , znanym początkowo jako Cardcaptors w tych regionach, a także w All New Tales from the Cryptkeeper . Był również widziany na Braceface , ostatnio widziany na Disney Channel i ABC Family (obecnie Freeform ) w USA. Beyblade G-Revolution zachowało to logo do końca w 2005 roku. Na Tubi odcinek Braceface „Up in Smoke” zachowuje tytuł Corus Entertainment. Było to również widoczne, gdy Nickelodeon przez krótki czas emitował My Dad the Rock Star w 2005 roku, ale emisje Nicktoons i obecne wydruki mają zamiast tego piąte logo. Jest to zachowane na aktualnych wydrukach serialu animowanego Ace Ventura , w tym na oficjalnych przesłanych filmach Morgan Creek i kiedy Tubi transmitował serial. Wariant teatralny był widziany tylko w dwóch filmach; Pippi Pończoszanka z 1997 roku i Babar: Król słoni z 1999 roku . Wariant „INTERNATIONAL” pojawia się na międzynarodowych grafikach pierwszych czterech sezonów The Fairly OddParents oraz na międzynarodowych grafikach Tiana . 4. Logo (2001-2004) Logo: Na białym tle widzimy półkola z siedmioma gwiazdkami, niedźwiedzia polarnego i napis „ NELVANA ” jak z poprzedniego logo, ale z ciemnoniebieskim konturem. Pod napisem „NELVANA” znajduje się adres URL „www.nelvana.com”, a pod nim napis „ A CORUS™ Entertainment Company ”. Czasami tytuł będzie zamiast tego stylizowany na „A CORUS Entertainment Company” bez kursywy). Technika: Brak. Muzyka/dźwięki: Brak. W innych przypadkach motyw końcowy programu lub ogólny motyw sieciowy. Dostępność: Rzadko. To było używane jako alternatywne logo w tandemie z poprzednim w latach 2001-2004. W pierwszych programach pojawia się to w pierwszym sezonie Cyberchase i późniejszych odcinkach Maggie and the Ferocious Beast (powtórki Nicka Jr. zachowały logo w stanie nienaruszonym, ale na późniejszych wydrukach, takich jak wydruki DVD i emisje w Qubo , to logo zostało otynkowane z kolejnym). Pojawia się również na niektórych międzynarodowych drukach The Fairly OddParents . Jednym z przykładów jest odcinek „Boy Toy” / „Inspection Detection” z brytyjskiego wydania DVD „Boys in the Band” (pozostałe odcinki wykorzystują wariant „INTERNATIONAL” poprzedniego logo). Wersja z normalną czcionką w tytule pojawiła się w grze Beyblade V-Force na Game Boy Advance . Piąte logo (7 września 2004-) Logo: Na czarnym tle widoczny jest tekst „ NELVANA ” z dopiskiem pod nim. Następnie biały niedźwiedź polarny leci na ekran od środka po lewej stronie, a następnie zatrzymuje się na tekście. Uderza gwiazdą w ekran, który migocze, a biała mgiełka światła tworzy się i rozprasza za logo. Logo wygląda podobnie do logo kredytowego sprzed 1985 r., Ale ma tylko jedną gwiazdkę. Bylines: Wariant oryginalny, 2004-: Ze względu na „rozwój” spółki macierzystej Corus Entertainment Inc. . 2006?-: W tytule widnieje napis „ A CORUS™ ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY ”, wszystko pisane wielkimi literami i tą samą czcionką, co alternatywne logo z 2003 roku. Warianty: Bardziej powszechny wariant zaczyna się od niedźwiedzia polarnego, który jest już w tekście i uderza w gwiazdę. Podczas pierwszego pojawienia się tego logo nie było widać zamglenia dla „Inc”. wariant byline. Logo „ CORUS ENTERTAINMENT ” ma również wariant bez zamglenia, widoczny w programach takich jak Scaredy Squirrel . Istnieje wariant z napisem „ PRODUKCJA NELVANY ” nad niedźwiedziem polarnym, bez zamglenia. W Handy Manny i niektórych programach pokazana jest mgła. Istnieje niestandardowa wersja, w której niedźwiedź polarny zostaje pokryty śluzem (A la Nickelodeon Slime), co powoduje zniekształcenie niedźwiedzia polarnego i tekstu „NELVANA”, nagłówek zostaje zasłonięty przez śluz, a gwiazda obraca się wokół przed kapaniem szlam. Ten wariant był widziany w międzynarodowych i Qubo emisjach Grossology i nie pokazano zamglenia. Istnieje wariant, w którym „ INTERNATIONAL ” w zaokrąglonym prostokącie jest wciśnięte między nazwę firmy a tytuł. Nałożoną wersję tego wariantu można znaleźć w napisach końcowych do Franklin and the Turtle Lake Treasure . Istnieje nieruchoma wersja logo, którą można było zobaczyć w oryginalnych amerykańskich emisjach Grossology w Discovery Kids / The Hub (obecnie Discovery Family). Na aktualnych wydrukach pierwszego odcinka Committed widać niezwykle rzadką nieruchomą wersję bez gwiazdy. Niektóre powtórki Corduroy mają logo rozpoczynające się po uderzeniu gwiazdy. Jest nałożony wariant z napisem „ Dystrybucja przez Nelvana Enterprises Inc. ” nad nim. Nie widać zamglenia. Ten wariant był widziany w sezonie 3 Max & Ruby i dzieli ekran z logo Treehouse . W Handy Manny nad logo znajduje się napis „ A NELVANA PRODUCTION ”, z wyjątkiem napisu z 2004 r., który jest widoczny pod logo. Na My Friend Rabbit logo nieco się zatrzymuje, gdy niedźwiedź polarny nie uderza dokładnie w gwiazdę, gdy jest widziany po raz pierwszy; potem animacja jest wyświetlana jak zwykle. Widoczny jest również podpis z 2004 roku. Począwszy od sezonu 5 Cyberchase , logo zaczyna się, gdy niedźwiedź polarny idzie do przodu zaraz po wskoczeniu na logo. W grze Game Boy Advance Beyblade G-Revolution niedźwiedź jest umieszczony po lewej stronie logo, a poniżej znajduje się tabliczka „INTERNATIONAL”. Inna gra, Bakugan: Rise of the Resistance , pokazuje logo zaznaczone na biało. Czasami logo jest pozbawione linii. Istnieje wariant, w którym słowo „ CYFROWY ” jest dodawane pod powyższym tekstem, a pod nim pojawia się tytuł. Czasami byline 2004 jest w kolorze szarym. W Life with Boys logo ma płynniejszą animację, ale nie ma zamglenia. W niektórych programach pojawia się wersja kredytowa. W sezonie 1 Horrid Henry napis „ IN ASSOCIATION WITH ” znajduje się nad logo. Istnieje dziwnie sfilmowany wariant pełnego logo, który został zauważony na polskiej 35-milimetrowej odbitce Franklin and the Turtle Lake Treasure . Podczas emisji Wayside przez Nickelodeon / Nicktoons Network logo jest przesunięte w górę. Na Wishfart tekst „Produced in Association with” jest widoczny w lewym górnym rogu logo, a kiedy niedźwiedź polarny uderza w gwiazdę, wychodzi z niej tęcza. Powiększa się na ekranie, przechodząc do logo Bejuba Entertainment . Nie widać zamglenia. Na Lucky Duck do logo przechodzi bąbelek. Nie widać zamglenia. Na końcu zwiastuna gry Care Bears: Journey to Joke-a-lot znajduje się bardzo krótka wersja, która zaczyna się, gdy mgła znika. Na zwiastunie nieudanego serialu Formula RC (który można znaleźć na koncie Vimeo firmy Pipeline Studios) niedźwiedź polarny nosi cybernetyczne okulary. Po uderzeniu w gwiazdę uspokaja się, gdy gwiazda zmienia kolor na czerwony, żółty i zielony. „N” zachowują się jak opony samochodowe, a potem niedźwiedź polarny odjeżdża, gdy gwiazda się obraca. Na Channel 5 „ Milkshake! ” emitowanych przez pierwsze dwa sezony Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends , logo Nelvana jest widoczne w lewym górnym rogu, logo Absolute Digital Pictures jest widoczne w prawym górnym rogu, logo Callaway Arts & Entertainment jest widoczne w lewym dolnym rogu, a logo Teletoon „Oval Smile” jest widoczne w prawym dolnym rogu. Wszystkie loga znajdują się na czarnym tle. Poza tym logo są nadal. Na kanale 5 „Milkshake!” emisje trzeciego i ostatniego sezonu wspomnianego programu, są takie same jak w pierwszych dwóch sezonach, z tym wyjątkiem, że logo Teletoon „Oval Smile” w prawym dolnym rogu zostało zastąpione logo Treehouse z 1999 roku. Technika: Połączenie animacji komputerowej i grafiki komputerowej 2D. Muzyka/dźwięki: Zazwyczaj odtwarzany jest motyw końcowy programu lub ogólny motyw sieciowy, ale czasami to logo ma własną muzykę, fajny 3-dźwiękowy motyw gitary skomponowany przez Neila Parfitta, z dingiem i dzieckiem śmiejącym się w kierunku kończyć się. Warianty muzyki/dźwięków: Programy z logo z 1985 roku mogą wykorzystywać dramatyczny motyw syntezatora lub mistyczny motyw migotania zamiast normalnej muzyki. Pojawia się to na nowszych wydrukach T i T oraz My Pet Monster . W wariancie Grossology słychać pierwsze dwie nuty motywu gitarowego, ale przerywa je dźwięk rozpryskującego się i kapiącego szlamu. W niektórych przypadkach logo milczy. W przypadku wariantu trailera Troskliwe Misie: Journey to Joke-a-lot słyszymy wariant dźwiękowy trzeciego logo. Czasami śmiech dziecka nie jest słyszalny. W Przygodach Chucka i Przyjaciół muzyka jest przyspieszona bez śmiechu. W The Stanley Dynamic i Bubble Guppies ostatnia część muzyki gra bez śmiechu. W ostatnim odcinku programu „The Arctic Life!” Słyszymy tę muzykę wraz z zakończeniem piosenki „This is the Arctic Life”. W Spliced jest to standardowe brzmienie „Sound Ideas, BIRD, ROOSTER – MORNING CALL, ANIMAL 01”, użyte w piosence przewodniej serialu. To często ma więcej dźwięków (kwakanie kaczki, kichanie osoby itp.) W każdym odcinku programu. Na przyczepie Formuły RC słychać było odgłosy jazdy. Na DVD Max & Ruby z 2006 roku „Max's Chocolate Chicken” (wydanym przez Treehouse i Kaboom! Entertainment) muzyka brzmi nieco inaczej, a na końcu jest inny, radośniejszy śmiech. (podobny do śmiechu Caillou). W zwiastunie promocyjnym Sidekick męski głos mówi „Sidekick!”. W niektórych odcinkach Mike the Knight śmiech dziecka nie jest słyszalny, ponieważ muzyka składa się z ponurej, „odparowującej” głębokiej nuty syntezatora, ustawionej w tym samym akordzie, co normalna fanfara. Dostępność: bardzo powszechna. To logo jest używane głównie do tynkowania starszych logo Nelvany. Jest obecnie używany w tandemie z ósmym logo. Zadebiutował w Miss Spider's Sunny Patch Friends , a ostatnio pojawił się w drugim sezonie Ranger Rob . Programy Nelvany z tamtych czasów, takie jak The Backyardigans , Grossology , kiedy ostatnio widziano je w Hub Network (obecnie Discovery Family), Babar and the Adventures of Badou , Handy Manny w Disney Junior (dawniej Playhouse Disney ), Wayside i wiele innych będzie miało to logo . W niektórych programach pojawia się wariant kredytowy. Był również używany jako de facto logo domowego wideo. Logo bez napisów pojawia się w koprodukcjach Studia B, w tym Being Ian i Class of the Titans . Wariant „IN ASSOCIATION WITH” pojawia się w niektórych odcinkach pierwszego sezonu Horrid Henry na całym świecie ( w emisjach CITV wykorzystano wersję kredytową). Jest również używany na odbitkach Nicktoons z tych odcinków. Nałożony wariant pojawił się w sezonie 3 Maxa i Ruby , ponieważ firma nigdy nie była tak bardzo zaangażowana w produkcję serialu wraz z sezonami 4-5, ale w szóstym sezonie użyto zwykłej wersji tego logo, biorąc pod uwagę, że firma wzrosła ich zaangażowanie w rzeczywistą produkcję po tym, jak Silver Lining Entertainment i Chorion zamknęły swoje podwoje w 2012 roku, a Atomic Cartoons była dodatkowo koproducentem. Jest to częściej używane do przyklejania starszych logo Nelvany, głównie na płytach DVD lub w cyfrowej transmisji strumieniowej. Jest również przyczepiony do wydruków materiałów Nelvany po 2005 roku, takich jak Babar on Qubo, Bob and Margaret on Showtime Women, wydanie My Pet Monster na DVD KaBoom Entertainment , wydania DVD Tales from the Cryptkeeper , obecnie wycofane DVD Funimation z WildC.ATS i Shout! Fabryczne wydania DVD Przygód Tintina . Umieszcza trzecie logo na pudełku DVD The Magic School Bus: The Complete Series , wydanym w 2012 roku; wszystkie odcinki w pudełku mają naklejone logo, z wyjątkiem „Wzlotów i upadków”, w którym zachowano trzecie logo. Pojawia się również na końcu ostatnich wydruków A Cosmic Christmas , po logo Viacom „V of Doom”. Można go również zobaczyć w wydanych w 2014 roku drukowanych odcinkach serii Care Bears z 1986 roku na YouTube. Przesyłane programy Nelvany na kanały YouTube „YTV Direct” (który pierwotnie nazywał się „Nelvana Retro”) i „Treehouse Direct” mają zwykle to logo naklejone na poprzednie, czasami z dziwnymi wynikami (pierwszy odcinek T i T ma krótką wersję kończącą się przed muzyką z logo z 1985 roku; wszystkie inne odcinki mają długą wersję do zsynchronizowania z muzyką). Pojawia się również na wielu wydaniach DVD programów Nelvany na terytoriach międzynarodowych, takich jak The Fairly OddParents (jednym z przykładów jest DVD „Superhero Spectacle”). Kiedy Nicktoons Network nadawał My Dad the Rock Star od końca 2005 do początku 2008 roku, pojawiło się trzecie logo, podobnie jak wydania Tubi i DVD programu. Po debiucie nowego i obecnego logo, logo to było używane w pierwszym sezonie Ranger Rob , sezonie 6 Max & Ruby oraz The ZhuZhus (wcześniej znany jako Polly and the Zhu Zhu Pets ). Wariant Grossology niespodziewanie pojawił się w promocji Captain Flamingo . Wariant standardowy pojawia się również na kanadyjskich płytach DVD z materiałami, do których Nelvana nabyła prawa do kanadyjskich płyt DVD, takich jak między innymi The Octonauts , In the Night Garden . Obecnie to logo jest nadal używane w połączeniu z siódmym logo. 6. logo (2004-11 lutego 2013) Logo: Na rozgwieżdżonym tle, na którym poruszają się gwiazdy, widoczny jest wcześniejszy niedźwiedź polarny z napisem „ NELVANA ” również tą samą czcionką co poprzednio. Spadająca gwiazda pojawia się z lewej dolnej części ekranu i przechodzi obok niedźwiedzia polarnego, pozostawiając błyszczącą gwiazdę, która okazuje się być tą z poprzedniego logo. Podczas tego wszystkiego poniżej widnieje napis „ A CORUS™ ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY ”. Logo przypomina trzecie logo. Warianty: Istnieje rozszerzona wersja, która animuje podobnie jak rozszerzona wersja trzeciego logo, ale wygląda taniej iz tekstem przesuwającym się na miejsce. Nadal istnieje wersja kredytowa z niedźwiedziem i gwiazdą przesuniętymi nieco w lewo. Technika: animacja komputerowa 2D. Muzyka/dźwięki: takie same jak w przypadku trzeciego logo. W niektórych przypadkach może to być motyw końcowy programu. Dostępność: Bardzo rzadko. To logo było niedawnym odkryciem i pojawiło się na niewielkiej liczbie wydań Nelvany dystrybuowanych przez Funimation Entertainment . Do tej pory to logo pojawiło się na wydaniu DVD Braceface: Turning 13 z 2005 roku pod względem umieszczenia trzeciego logo i było de facto używane jako logo domowego wideo na kompilacji DVD Nelvana's Friendship Collection: Making New Friends z 2004 roku oraz wydania VHS i DVD Beyblade G-Revolution: Beginning of the End z 2004 roku? . Obecnie nie wiadomo, czy było to w innych domowych wydaniach medialnych Nelvany. Wersję kredytową można znaleźć w sezonach 4-5 Max & Ruby . 7. logo (25 czerwca 2017-) Logo: Na niebieskim tle widzimy niedźwiedzia polarnego w kolorze niebieskim z białą obwódką i nowym tekstem „ nelvana ” napisanym czcionką logo Corus Entertainment 2016 , w kolorze białym. Gwiazda znajduje się na dole misia, podskakuje i obraca się, po czym ląduje. Niedźwiedź polarny uderza w nią, powodując odwrócenie kolorów. Następnie tekst na dole pośrodku niedźwiedzia polarnego zmieni kolor z białego na niebieski . Tuż obok nazwy firmy, na samym dole, pojawia się mały, zarejestrowany znak towarowy. Warianty: Istnieją krótsze i nieruchome wersje, z tytułem Corus lub bez. Istnieje wersja kredytowa. W kanadyjskim francuskim dubbingu odcinków 7 sezonu Max & Ruby (i prawdopodobnie innych), francuska wersja ma tytuł przetłumaczony jako „Une compagnie de Corus”. W sezonie 2 The Hardy Boys logo jest mniejsze i zawiera tekst „IN ASSOCIATION WITH” powyżej. Technika: animacja komputerowa 2D. Muzyka/dźwięki: 13-dźwiękowa melodia z syntezatora lub motyw kończący program; lub żaden. Warianty muzyki/dźwięków: Na powitalnym wstępie oficjalnego kanału Nelvany na YouTube (Nelvana Digital Network) melodia jest zmieniona i ma 11 nut. Na Bravest Warriors senna melodia syntezatora jest zsynchronizowana z logo Corus. Dostępność: aktualna. Po raz pierwszy widziany na ich stronie internetowej i miał swój oficjalny debiut w Hotel Transylvania: The Series . Pojawia się również w nowszych programach telewizyjnych firmy, takich jak Bravest Warriors , Mysticons , Go Away Unicorn! , Corn & Peg , Agent Binky: Pets of the Universe , The Dog & Pony Show , Ollie's Pack , Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go, a także inne programy. Pełne logo po raz pierwszy pojawiło się w Zhu's News - Pumped Up Zhus , Emojitown. który można zobaczyć na oficjalnym kanale YouTube YTV. Widziano go także w ostatnim sezonie Max & Ruby oraz w sezonach 2 i 3 Ranger Rob . submitted by /u/Planet-Minecraft to r/closinglogosgroup [link] [comments]

[Video Games] The time someone wrote an analysis on the taste and smell of a character's sweat.
Note: Because this drama began between 2010 and 2011, many of the sources have disappeared. I’ve had to rely on interviews, screenshots, my own memory, and other retellings to fully capture this story. I’ve told this to the best of my ability, but I understand there may be some errors. Thank you to u/BICEP_MCTRICEP for providing me further information! Every fan community has The Story. It’s the incident older members of the fandom always pass down, a warning to the newer members of the line not to cross. In Harry Potter, it was My Immortal. In Voltron, it was the Sheith-Klance shipping war. In Mass Effect, it was the Tali Sweat Post. Mass Effect is an RPG series created by Bioware, a titan within the genre. It originally centered around the player character, Commander Shepard, and their journey to save the galaxy from the Reapers, a race of machines bent on destroying all organics. The Mass Effect series almost immediately became not just a video game classic, but a classic of the scifi genre. With its immersive plot, fun setting, and fascinating characters, how could it not? Tali’Zorah nar Rayya was one of the game's many fascinating characters. A cheerful but sarcastic, nerdy engineer, Tali was an alien forced to live inside a suit, due to her race having an extremely sensitive immune system. She proved so popular that she, along with fellow fan-favorite Garrus Vakarian (don’t ask), became love interests in the later games, and constantly rank among the most popular characters. With Tali’s immense popularity, she drew much speculation, namely about what she even looked like. Over on the now-defunct Bioware Social Network, she had several private groups, fan communities, and discussion threads dedicated to her. The BSN was one part forum, one part social media site, one part private-message board host, one part digital market, one part mod host, and one part save-game host. What was relatively impressive about the BSN however was its private-message board. The private-message boards were effectively miniature forums, complete with their own subforums, moderation team, and community rules. Our story begins in one such private-message board, in a group called Clan Zorah. Clan Zorah was, as you can likely guess, a private-message board dedicated to Tali. It consisted primarily of people who romanced her. This group, like many of its kind, spent much of its run discussing Tali’s character; sharing fan-art, theories, and more about her. Mass Effect, like many fandoms, drew people of a wide variety of backgrounds. One of these people was an individual with chemistry experience, known today as Thundertactics. According to a former acquaintance of theirs, Thundertactics was a “quiet and reserved” person, and very smart. They liked figuring out answers to questions, not necessarily out of a curiosity, but out of a genuine enjoyment for solving mysteries. I wasn’t able to ascertain how popular they were within the BSN as a whole, but within the Tali fan community, they were considered easy to get along with and were relatively popular. With Mass Effect 2 having recently come out, and Tali now being a love interest, the Tali fan communities were in full-fledged fan mode, and Thundertactics was no exception. The constant fervor around Tali, excitement for Mass Effect 3, and TT’s own life experiences would eventually lead them to a question they wanted an answer to: what did Tali’s sweat smell and taste like? Don’t freak out. TT had a reason for this. And I am assured it was not actually sexual. Allegedly, anyway. At the time, TT was taking a class on organic chemistry, and had to analyze human sweat for an assignment. While discussing their class on Clan Zorah, TT and their fellow Tali fans realized that because Quarians had a different reaction to bacteria and were forced to live in a suit (think Bubble Boy but more skintight with a bucket on the head), their sweat would likely taste and smell differently from a human’s. At that point, TT decided to reverse the chirality of the analysis. Now, I passed high school chemistry with such a low grade that my teacher was literally in the middle of talking to me about summer school before opening the computer and discovering I passed, so I clearly do not know enough to debate this theory. I also don’t know what was in TT’s hearts. For now, please read their post and come to a conclusion yourself. The Clan Zorah community reacted positively to the post, with some finding it weird, others finding it interesting, and almost everyone finding it humorously enjoyable. With this exciting reception, TT chose to make their chemistry analysis public, some time in late 2010 or early-to-mid 2011. With the positive response they received from Clan Zorah, TT was likely excited to share their findings with the rest of the community. It’s important now to note that the BSN was already infamous for being a bit...over the top with characters. There had been meta posts about Garrus Vakarian’s feet structure, the reproductive cycles and genitalia of asari (a monosexed race that could reproduce with all races to create more asari), the taste of Garrus’s sexual fluids (again, don’t ask), and other similar questions and arguments. TT likely assumed their post would go over on the same level as the posts that came before it. They were wrong. Sadly, due to the BSN being wiped from the internet, it is impossible to find the exact original thread. But based on testimony of people who were there at the time, it triggered disagreement and argument on the science used in the analysis, mockery, and derision. The thread topic was copied onto Fextralife in July 2011, so a similar reaction can be viewed there. Amusingly, it got relatively humorous acknowledgement from then-Mass Effect writer Patrick Weekes. Within days, it became the symbol for everything wrong with the BSN, and Tali fans in particular. TT would never live it down. I didn’t see the Tali post itself while it was up, but I did see Thundertactics around on the forum from time to time. Almost any time they posted publicly, they were called out for the post. Eventually, they began posting less and less, likely moving into the Clan Zorah group almost exclusively. Still, they kept their post public, and they became forever known as the creepy Tali Sweat Poster. At the same time, forum-wide shipping wars were taking place. Although the Tali fans and Garrus fans (again, please don’t ask, you’ll only understand the Garrus hype if you play the games) mostly got along, the two groups were often in conflict with the fans of the more humanoid characters. The Tali Sweat Post, because of its increasing notoriety over all other LI meta posts, became the most popular ammo against the Tali fans. If you wanted to shut one up, all you had to do was remind everyone that it was that fan group that created the Tali Sweat Post. Yeah, there were tons of other weird crap online, but at least no one else wrote a full chemistry argument to explain the taste and smell of someone’s sweat. Still, Thundertactics refused to take down their post. They stood by their work. But that would all change with the release of the Citadel DLC, in 2013. The Citadel DLC was the final chapter in the story of Commander Shepard, and served as a goodbye to characters like Tali. Its biggest selling feature was the chance to party with players’ favorite characters. In the DLC, Tali could end up incredibly drunk, and during her drunken stupor, she would say: Tali: It just smells like sweat. Why would you even ask that? Now, the Tali Sweat Post was exposed not just to the BSN, but to the entirety of the Mass Effect fanbase. Anyone across the internet could find the post. Having already faced two years of bullying, harassment, and embarrassment, Thundertactics finally deleted the post. Eventually, for a variety of reasons, they would leave the Mass Effect fandom entirely, disappearing from Clan Zorah and the internet. To this day, in 2021, the Tali Sweat Post still lives on in Mass Effect fandom infamy, a permanent mark on the reputation of Tali fans everywhere. submitted by /u/shoutinginavoid to r/HobbyDrama [link] [comments]
