  Post Credit Scene

  Julie intently sat forward in her chair as she hammered away at her keyboard. By now, the forums were abuzz with the edited video she’d concocted after being forced out of the game. It showed the Revenant’s guild leader destroying the capital of the Kingdom of Kader and what happened to the Chaos Storm alliance that dared to stand against the Necromancer’s undead hordes. The spliced together video streams showing her guildmates being slaughtered as they bravely fought to protect King Isolde, before switching to her people being repeatedly spawn camped at the graveyards for their valiant effort.

  It was a level of sophistry that would keep the majority of the gaming community
arguing over the truth for months, if not years. Julie knew from experience that people generally believed the version of the truth that they saw first. After that, it was human nature to latch on to what you thought was the truth, regardless of the contradictory information that came out after the fact. It was a tactic that news agencies used around the world.
