The Kingpin Plot of 2007

Summary
A little-known event in the fall and winter of 2007 in which the Troll Kingpin plotted to cause mayhem on the Kingdom of Trolls forum. Although very little concrete information exists about this event, the Kingpin's known co-conspirators included Error, Forbesanton, and Nim.

The first traces of this plot emerged during the Second POTC3 Board War of 2007; the Kingpin and Error came to the board during this event, and it was believed by some that they made contact with The Pirate Buddies, enemies of Liz's faction on the board and, subsequently, KOT.

During the fall months, as KOT's confrontation with the Pbs was nearing its climax, Error began making declarations of a plot by the Kingpin to attack KOT, spreading rumors that he was “planning something big.” Flapjack and Ash collaborated to investigate this matter in AIM conversations with Error and Forbes, but were unable to get to the bottom of it. Mercuzo was uncovered as the Kingpin around this time, and although this attack on KOT never materialized, the rumors added to the atmosphere of paranoia and foreboding that fall, and helped to undermine Mercuzo's reputation and the trust of his fellow members.

In essence, the Kingpin allegedly planned to undermine KOT in the same manner that he once brought down his old enemy McMan's site "The Vacation Spot": Nim would reveal months later that the Kingpin had approached her about stealing members' pictures and phone numbers from KOT and posting them on 4chan and various other sites. In reality, this plan collapsed very quickly when Forbesanton, apparently at the Kingpin's behest, posted a thread on KOT under the name “Jackhawtie” (apparently to give the impression that the Pbs were involved) threatening to post members' pictures and phone numbers on “every gay site” on the internet if he was not given control of the board; he was met with amusement and derision.

Thus ended the conspiracy. The full extent of the Kingpin's involvement and plans, or his exact intentions, may never be known.
