SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars NEWSFLASH! Since 18 May 2009, "Xenu's Loyal 4th Marcabian Invasion Fleet Ψ" team has collected 106,053 Credits from the SETI@HOME project. That means that in 10 days we have skyrocketed to a very impressive amount of credits and must be breaking some sort of record for a team of our size. We have, as of today, 44 Members but we need YOU on our team to garner major lulz. ***IF YOU ARE WORRIED ABOUT BEING DOXED, DON'T BE. ONCE YOU DOWNLOAD THE SOFTWARE YOU CAN GO TO YOUR SETI@HOME ACCOUNT CP AND DISABLE THE "VIEWING OF YOUR COMPUTERS" FEATURE. SO EVEN THOUGH YOUR COMPUTERS WOULD GIVE NO USEABLE INFORMATION ABOUT YOU, YOU HAVE THE CHOICE TO HIDE THEM FROM PUBLIC VIEW YET STILL HELP US FIND XENU!*** I was made aware of a SETI (Search for Extra Terestial Intelligence) project where people with PC's download a bit of software from SETI so that the organization can utilize our CPU's to help search of ET's i.e. we end up searching for the Marcabian Fleet. Anyway, according to the website this can be done as a Team... Gentlemen, I am proposing (we are certain you can't get doxed) that you/us join the team "Loyal Marcabians Seti@home Distributed Computing Team " and give SETI a huge boost while at the same time creating a lulzy publicity stunt. With the right press releases we could spin this into a very lulzy project that brings awareness to the public as well as sticks our thumb in the Scilons eye. Have a look at the link and let me know if you can help: SETI@home Teams get listed on the Berkley/SETI website and how much CPU time they have donated to help search for ET's. The listings allowed us to post some information about who/what we are in the profile so we are already informing the public as well as bringing the lulz. Once we get at least over 9000 or a minimum of 50 Anons on the team we will let the Press releases fly, we have a publicity stunt that is certain to make news. Here's the How To: The name is easily changeable at any point, its only the team number that matters. Same for your user name, it is changeable and transferable to other teams so this isn't an issue. It is REALLY simple and EASY to join & help! ************************************************** ********** A brief guide for installing and running the BOINC software, attaching to projects, and joining our team... Xenu's Loyal Marcabians (borrowed heavily from the BOINK wiki...) 1. Go to the BOINC website LINK... 2. Download the BOINC project manager software. latest windows version... all versions... Linux, Mac 3. Install the BOINC project manager software. Choose single user, shared user, or service installation... During installation, the manager may ask you if you want to attach to a project (I can't remember). Don't worry if you miss it during installation, you can attach to projects after you run the BOINC Manager Windows installation... Mac OS_X installation... Linux installation... 4. Run the BOINC Manager software. BOINC Manager overview... It can be run in two modes... Simple View... Advanced View... 5. Attach to a project. In Simple View mode - Click Attach to project button. Select "seti@home" In Advanced Mode - Click Tools on the Menu Bar, select "Attach to project" In either mode, a dialog box will pop-up with a dropdown list of the major active projects... just click the name "seti@home" (the link will take you to the project webpage) click "next"... If you are new to the project, click the new user radio button (default), and enter your email address (an anon account) and choose a password... click next and if the attempt to attach was successful, the project will respond that you are attached... If you are an existing user, click the existing user radio button, enter your email address and password... click next and if the attempt to attach was successful, the project will respond that you are attached... 6. Configure the client Go to the project webpage (you can find a link from the "Projects" tab in the advanced view mode of the BOINC Manager)... Click the "Your account" link or something to that effect... usually if you have navigated to the project page from the BOINC manager, you will arrive to the project page logged in (but not always - it does time out after a period)... Log in if necessary... Set your Account Information... Email address and password are obvious... Other Account Information will allow you to change the nickname you use on the project (make sure your nicknames match on all of your projects, or some stats sites will be confused) Set your Client Preferences... for how and when the client should run... you can pre-set up to 4 different useage profiles (default, home, school, and work)... you can override these preferences from within the BOINC manager itself with "run always" and "run never" options as well, available by clicking "Activity" in the menu bar... Set your Community Preferences... heres where you will manage your team selection... if you attached to the project as a "new user", you will need to select a team here... click "find a team" and in the search keywords box, enter "Xenu's Loyal Marcabians"... click on "Xenu's Loyal Marcabians" and it will take you to a team information page... you must click "join this team" to do so... now under the community preferences it will indicate that you are a member of "Xenu's Loyal Marcabians"... Welcome to Xenu's Loyal Marcabians Seti@home Distributed Computing Team IMPORTANT: WHEN YOU TRY TO JOIN THE PROJECT SETI@HOME OR TRY TO GO TO THE TEAM PAGE AND IT YOU GET A MESSAGE THAT THE PAGE IS DOWN FOR MAINTENANCE PLEASE DON'T BE DISCOURAGED. JUST WAIT A WHILE AND TRY AGAIN IN A COUPLE OF HOURS AND SO ON, IT'S LOUSY TIMING THAT THE SITE IS DOING UPDATES NOW BUT THESE THINGS HAPPEN. We've already got several members and several people waiting for the website updates to complete so that they can join the team and we NEED YOU. We're off to a great start but we need every Anon we can get to pull this off. Once we have 50 members on the team (hopefully we'll have over 9000) and we start to accumulate points we will then work with Press-Release-Fags to get a very lulzy Press Release put together and inform all the media we can. I'm fairly certain we will get many Science magazines, newspapers, blogs, etc. to write about Anonymous using SETI to search for Xenu's Marcabian Space Fleet (or something along those lines) and we're going to try and get the Cobert Report to talk about it and maybe even other shows. I can certainly imagine SNL doing a skit of Masked 1337 Haxxors trying to contact the Marcabian Fleet which naturally brings the Cult of Scientology into the skit/discussion which causes us to be in the news and the national conversation about Scientology to continue. This will also inform the world that we are still here and will continue to go after Scientology for all their crimes. We're going to use lulz (and have fun creating the lulz) to bring the spotlight back to Scientology and expose all their nasty little tricks, crimes, lies and fraud to the world as well as hopefully making more people aware that we are here and they can help too by becoming anonymous. Our Team is the Loyal Marcabians Seti@home Distributed Computing Team Cheers, Rob UPDATE: We are up to 30 members and getting through the SETI tasks at an accelerated rate. Remember that this is for the lulz and once we reach 40 or 50 team members we'll be able to start putting together a press release and claim our over 9000 lulz. Also, further on in this thread there was some great advice given on how to maximize the speed at which you get through the tasks and below is the Copypasta du jour?
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars Meh, it's not a bad idea or anything, but I doubt it would do much to spread information. Could be a little funny though. But, with regards to media attention and stuff, how many people care about SETI and networked computing?
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars Alot of people do as its the only way to crunch HUGE numbers right now. I had SETI running on my comp for a couple of years but stopped when started reinstalling Windows every month (before I discovered VMware). Its not a bad idea for anyone to do the SETI thing but combining in a group for those interested is a great idea even if it gets us no attention.
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars Well, I would love to do this but I would need /b/lackup because I think we need the lulz and with a press release we might get the science publications to take notice. There's no such thing as bad publicity so even if it is just Science magazines I'm willing to take it. If we do this lets come up with a team name and organize so that even through the SETI website our message is getting out there. Maybe the Press release could say something like "Anonymous decides to help the Church of Scientology search for the evil overlord, Xenu"... Well you guise get the idea. Cheers, Rob
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars Sure, why not? I never use more than one or two cores at a time anyway. I'm in. Nitpick: Technically, Xenu would be imprisoned here on Earth. Still lulzworthy though.
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars I've been crunching SETI since 1999 as well as several other "Boinc projects". The competition is great, the rewards are victoly alone and no other personal gain. The team wars can be epic battles, lots of cross forums postings (boarding parties). There are some 'for profit' ventures on there which I always avoid. I stick to the ones that produce results for all to use. I think Rob is onto something here, many people who 'crunch' are exactly the types we want to educate. I think this idea has great potential.
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars OK. I think it has a potential and I am game. Perhaps media will stop avoiding world-wide phenomena like Anonymous protests against the cult, grow some balls and do what journalist do - write and talk. I am all for the action " in a spirit of brotherly love - helping Scientology to find Xenu" once and for all. Where is the bastard? Stay safe. BK
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars I'm not so hip with the name ^ , not that I have a better one at the moment. I think it needs to read better. May something like "Xenu call home" -- "Xenu's Marcabs" -- "Xenu's Loyal Officers" -- "Xenu's 4th Marcabs" (the 5th are pussy's) More of statement of who we are. Something with a competitive ring. In crunching we will engage with other teams as we pummel them with our awesome.
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars I vote for "Xenu Call Home" or "Xenu's Loyal Officers". Also, I downloaded the client and I'm starting to munch my way through the first batch of 4.
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars No, the loyal officers captured him after 6 years of battle. His name was Xenu. He used renegades. We can be Xenu's Rengades?
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars RSK and Boris....you went from time to talk to the Feds, put em away and throw away the key....to, lets join a UFO watching team.... just sayin.
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars Who said that we should stop going to the FBI? Keep at it but have some fun & keep Chanology moving forward. New ideas, new tactics, keep things fresh and add but don't dispose of useful old tactics like talking to the FBI. Cheers, Rob
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars Alright, we need a consensus on a Team name. I suggest everyone run this by your local cells as we've got someone ready to set this up for us who has experience with this. We need a team name and it needs to be both lulzy and identifiable with Anonymous. Rob
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars Your point? We did the NASA contest just for lulz and look what happened with that. How can we play up the Xenu theme to get Colbert interested in this one too?
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars We pay taxes and we ARE the bosses of the FBI and we HAVE right to disturb them during their donuts time. As long as we don't break the law they have to listen to us and perhaps one day they will wake up from their slumber and do something useful for a change, like investigating crimes committed by CO$. Ergo - We shall continue reporting things that should be reported to the feds and do our thing, like fighting with the cult using all constitutional means. Stay safe. BK
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars The name is easily changeable at any point, its only the team number that matters. Same for your user name, it is changeable and transferable to other teams. I'll post a basic "how to" right here until we get our ducks all lined up and then we can make a sticky thread.

Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars Allright, RSK joined and reporting for duty. Rob
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars Guys, this will only work if we start getting people to join the team. So let me give you these inspirational words: DO IT FAGGOT! Your fleet needs you. Cheers, Rob
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars I signed up. Third member of Xenu's Loyal Marcabians, woot! Also, I sent you a private message confirming my signup and outlining my computer's specs.
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars Why don't we go ahead and call ourselves what we've already been dubbed? The 4th (or 5th) Marcabian Fleet. CLASSIC. Also, I think I'll go ahead and do this.
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars Excellent! We're getting the fleet back together. lulz We need a few more, hopefully many more, and we can start writing a press release. Cheers, Rob
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars I also vote for "4th Marcabian Invasion Fleet". /2cents Edit: What about "Xenu Phone Home"?
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars Cross-posted onto the Topix Scientology board in hope of getting some bites. Topix in general is shit, but there's some very knowledgeable Sci critics/ex-Scilons in the Scientology forum. Xenu Phone Home - Topix
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars I'll join tomorrow. Should we do a youtube video for this? Edit: Hope we get some legion in there. I would love to see this on slashdot. Should we tell Colbertnu about this?
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars Fucken joining asap! Even though I lol @ SETI sometimes.
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars This is going very well and as soon as we have over 9000 or 10 or 40 people we'll start to writing press releases. Nicely done, I'm running two computers to rack up some points on this SETI thing. Actually, it doesn't have to be only Anon that joins the team, we just need bodies eh computers. Yeah, lots of computers with different identities. Sock puppet computers? Iunno. Yeah well, I saw it on NOVA last night and instantly flashed on Xenu. Everyone keep posting your favorite Team name and whatever the consensus is will be the name of the team. Cheers, Rob
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars The Marcabian Fleet needs you! We must get in contact with the rest of of the Marcabians so as to put up a united front and rescue Lord Xenu. It seems like team members we have, already made contact with the intergalactic Psychiatrists. Remember, joining the team guarantees Citizenship so join now and join often. Glory to Marcabia! Also BUMP for great justice and lulz. BTW, the team page is down for maintenance ATM but should be back up shortly. Come on guys, we need your extra CPU power to pull this off. We will, with your help, contact the fleet and then we will inform The Colbert Report and many other Marcabian sympathizers.
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars I am joining the Marcabian Fleet search and rescue team looking for Xenu for great justice. Let's show the cult we are the people of good will and want to let them have it. Do it! Stay safe. BK
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars I tried to choose SETI@home as a project but it didn't work WTF do I do now?
Re: SETI Over 9000 Search for Xenu Project Lulz Wars At the moment they are doing updates on the site so many things are unavailable for a little while. Do not be discouraged, the website will be back up and running in a little while and you'll be able to attatch to the project and join the team. Stay safe. BK
