The Official P.H.A.N.S Thread

You'll find here all archived threads from the Phansite forum.

Ari3s

So, with the upcoming battle with Narcissus, we're going to have to get organized, and fast. We literally don't have all day. Tomorrow this thing is going to come back.
This thread will be discussion of plans amongst P.H.A.N.S members, and for those who seek to be enlisted into our ranks.

3xcal1bur

alright! does anyone know what Narcissus plans on doing?

Mona

Who the heck is Narcissus? Have you tried stealing his heart?

pure_girl

If anything, i shall be martyr!

3xcal1bur

@pure_girl
lets hope it doesn't come to that.

Ari3s

@Mona

Read through the Cheshire Ciphers thread, and then the thread labled N U L L to catch up.

Delta-M

No martyrs! People can be used as bait at most.

Migrant

Sorry @Mona but I think around here it's the Sins that do the Heart Stealing.

Notice how Thotiah also stole Lavenza's heart?

MonoDj

Tommorow is a day that we need to be careful about. Check any posts on that day from those accounts.

Tatsuya

I'd help out but sadly having to fight an evil god isn't a valid reason to skip work.

pure_girl

@3xcal1bur well... It's good to prepare for everything.

-Mishima-

Perhaps Joker can negotiate

Ari3s

@3xcal1bur

As far as we know, it intends to corrupt three of us through means of vanity, and possibly even wipe out every last person here.

If he needs vessels it clearly isn't powerful enough on its own.

pure_girl

@Ari3s then here comes the question, how do we "weaken" it exactly?

Hifumi Togo

There is a particular vanity that is required to enact the facade of a beloved "pure" individual while the truth is that the person typing their posts is as sinful as all of humanity. Pure_girl is a prime choice of sacrifice for pride of all sins.

Shiza_Salad

what is P.H.A.N.S an how do I join?

Tatsuya

It might actually be strong enough, things like this are dicks some of em like possessing just cause they can.

-Mishima-

I have a proposal, lets just beat the shit out of it, that has worked every other time a god has been a dick

Ari3s

Hm. I dunno. We don't exactly know much about it, aside the fact that it is a god that is quite literally Vanity incarnate.

And we all remember what happened last time we took on a god.

pure_girl

@Tatsuya correct, we don't know what the thing has up his sleeves.

3xcal1bur

@Ari3s so just prevent us from becoming vessels?

Migrant

P.H.A.N.S (Phansite Homies Against Nefarious Schemes) is an anti-Sin group of mostly Persona Users formed after the defeat of Thotiah and the reveal of Narcissus.

(hey look, mom, I made a good wiki intro)

Ari3s

@Shiza_Salad P.H.A.N.S is the group that intends to confront Narcissus come tomorrow. All you need to do to join is be willing to take on a god.

Mona

Don't worry, guys. The scary good Mona will take down this fool quick!

Tatsuya

On the other hand Mishima has a point. Violence has never failed to work on a good here. Try and get You Narukami to help if it comes to that to he's good in a fight.

pure_girl

I think with Jesus by our side ?everything is possible...

Shiza_Salad

@Ari3s I am willing to die for this cause

-Mishima-

Jesus is a door now actually

Shiza_Salad

of course, after another beer from Leblanc...

Ari3s

True, but remember the battle with Thotiah, that was...a near death experience for a lot of us.

Taiga_Aisaka

Look at the title of the Narcissus thread. What does N U L L mean?

3xcal1bur

I'm FUCKING READY TO KICK A GOD IN THE BALLS

Tatsuya

No that's Mintao who's the door.

Migrant

He's a door, but he's also on our side. Literally. He also is engaged to Aigis.

Ari3s

Then you're in, Shiza.

-Mishima-

same thing

Tatsuya

Hey Thotiah was pretty easy for me what are ya talking about?

-Mishima-

anyway, im in too if you want me, i awakened to my persona last month

pancake

cant we just give narcissus 3 random alts

Ari3s

@Taiga_Aisaka Null essentially means nothing, literally. It's nothingness, or that something is void.

Now what that means, ehhhh, ask someone else.

Shiza_Salad

@Ari3s thank you. It will be an honor to fight along side ou

Tatsuya

Wait what your a Persona user Mishima?

pure_girl

@Shiza_Salad same, i am ready to reach Heaven.

Ari3s

We could. But he may not be all too pleased with just three random on the spots.

Shiza_Salad

also, do I need a persona, or can I use my stando?

-Mishima-

Yeah (really old thread though, i think it was Kitagawa and me going to persona boot camp)

Tatsuya

I think a stand will be fine.

-Mishima-

I have aother idea, lets not limit ourselves to four member party lets all attack

Migrant

NULL could also represent a glitch post in the system. Like the sins almost certainly would be.

pure_girl

@-Mishima- good idea, an all-out attackwould be effective.

MonoDj

I got a power, so dont worry.

Ari3s

@Migrant

Good point, hadn't thought of that.

Shiza_Salad

@Tatsuya then I shall use my stand, UNDER PRESSURE

-Mishima-

I have third idea, make natccius watch Eurovision

Ari3s

That'll do the trick.

Narcissus won't stand a chance.

-Mishima-

The vanity of the counties may out vain her, thus making her weak

-Mishima-

We only have a few hours to act then, it end in i think

MonoDj

I got a stand, so don't worry.

Tatsuya

What's your stand Mona?

-Mishima-

KILLER QUEEN

MonoDj

Stand Name: Aerodynamic

Stand Ability: [Gravity Manipulation](http://powerlisting.wikia.com/wiki/Gravity_Manipulation)

Power - C

Speed - C

Range - D

Durability - A

Precision - A

Potential - A

Tatsuya

Hmm not half bad.

MonoDj

The Range will have to make me be close to him.

Mishimans

Good luck guys I can'tell have a person so all I can do is watch.

If you want I can provide some support in the formiga of sp items

hazama

So, out of curiosity.
Has anyone else brought up the apparent obsession with 3301, and the similarities between this and Cicada 3301?

Tatsuya

Couldn't you go into your demon form though?

Mishimans

Damn autocorrect got me good

*persona

*form

Migrant

Actually that's how we cracked the code, Hazama.

Mishimans

@Tatsuya

No I would probably go beserk and then you guys would have two issues to deal with. I don'the feel like dying today.

hazama

Ah, good to know.
This seems like a fun time. I'll be sure to stick around tomorrow.

Tatsuya

Aww man here I was hoping you could control it like Ryoji.

-Mishima-

I also would not like to be killed and our admin won't want to either

Migrant

Basically we found the Libra whatever the heck, found a list of code cracking stuff, found Ego Death, found its relation to Jungian Psychology (and Changes of Hearts) and then the game began.

Ari3s

All that said, what's our plan of attack? Bait him in, as if we're going to meet his demands, or just say "fuck it" and rush him?

pure_girl

@Ari3s all-out attack ftw!

Mishimans

@Tatsuya

Sorry, but I have so little control of my life that I can't tell what would happen.

My sp items should help out enough

hazama

I must say, the way you folks cracked those codes was pretty amazing, kudos.

Shiza_Salad

no one got my stand joke? alright...

RobowaifuAigis

Wait, if you rush him, wouldn't you just be feeding into whatever he has planned?
As far as we know, this is just like the Thotiah incident.

3xcal1bur

Maybe we should try to summon a new god? Maybe we should use someone as bait to become a vessel and then interrogate said vessel to get info?

Tatsuya

Ooh I know let's ask Philemon for help always works out.

3xcal1bur

@Tatsuya
whatever you think?

Ari3s

Yeah but we don't know if he'll be able to have our backs on this.

3xcal1bur

But as is discussed in the other threads, maybe we need to use what he has against him.

Migrant

So should we send Narcissus a calling card at all?

Ari3s

It wouldn't hurt to try. But it should be something to hurt his ego.

But don't look at me, I'm no good at writing that stuff.

3xcal1bur

Who would be good at that kind of stuff?
Maybe @Mako-chan? she writes phanfiction.

Migrant

Maybe a declaration of rebellion?

Ari3s

Maybe?

It's up to them if they want to.

Ari3s

That could work, @Migrant.

NotIgor

I can summon gods, but only if I know their prayers.

3xcal1bur

@NotIgor

how do you know someone's prayers?

Migrant

I can try one and then we can send it along to anyone else who wants to revise/improve.

3xcal1bur

rather, how would one know how to find the prayers in the first place?

NotIgor

Guess or have it revealed

Ari3s

Sounds good to me, @Migrant.

NotIgor

It has worked 100% of the time so far

3xcal1bur

sounds... unreliable...

NotIgor

I guess it's like abusing cognition. If we believe hard enough it'll happen

3xcal1bur

so its like mind over matter?

NotIgor

For now

Migrant

Here's what I made up, on pastebin just in case Narcissus can't open links. https://pastebin.com/CTm1VPBS

Ari3s

Looks good to me.

Hm.

Maybe we should turn it into a code just to fuck with him? ;)

Migrant

Oh ho yes!

3xcal1bur

HYEAHH

Ari3s

Lemme handle this. I know a way.

3xcal1bur

oh cool!

3xcal1bur

hey guys i think i figured out how narcissus is going to make the vessels: impostor accounts. He'll make these "vessels" and then spam with their accounts, causing heavy damage to the threads and server.

Ari3s

Hm. Maybe? Who knows.

pure_girl

Not if we have the mods on... (if they help, that is)

3xcal1bur

The more ls/Is the user has, the more vessels can be made out of them?

3xcal1bur

@pure_girl
lets hope!

3xcal1bur

or i guess
pray?
um

...

pure_girl

I am all about christianity, but this calls for preparing and moving around, not sitting quietly praying to the lord for help.

3xcal1bur

@pure_girl
so you have a plan of action to stop narcissus?
lets hear it!

pure_girl

@3xcal1bur umm... First we... Umm... We...
I dunno, i'm not a leader, i'm just a follower who follows commands.

3xcal1bur

@pure_girl
oh sorry.
I didn't mean to put you on the spot there.
My plan of action is to create "vessels"
or impostor accounts of the people that are being threatened before Narcissus can make them. One being can only create so many vessels so fast. If we can take control of the vessels before Narcissus does, we'll be in control and he'll lose his power.

pure_girl

@3xcal1bur sounds like a plan, a pretty good one too...

3xcal1bur

however it will only work if the vessels will be created as I theorized. If they aren't, we'll just be creating useless spam accounts. We might even get in deep trouble for it. The big problem with my plan is that we don't have intel on what Narcissus is planning. My idea isn't fast enough to completely halt damage before it's too late...

3xcal1bur

does anyone know how narcissus is going to do whatever it is hes doing?

Ari3s

Not really, no.

3xcal1bur

hmmm. does anyone have a reactive plan for when the attack does happen?

3xcal1bur

wow i remember this.
forums running pretty calm now, i hope.

MonoDj

We have to be ready tomorrow. We don't know when he will appear or if he will ever appear. We need a group on the server at night to see if he joins, and use Discord to alert us. I don't think we need to worry about a morning group, since we should all be up by then.

3xcal1bur

I don't have a discord. My mom wont let me ://. I can stay on until like 1 am though. Is that ok?

MinatoArisato14

Don't push yourself everyone on this site is awake 24/7 not including me

3xcal1bur

@MinatoArisato
But that's when I usually go to bed..
haha jk. But when do you think is an ok time to stay up until? If Narcissus is smart he'll join when nobody is awake so he'll have the element of surprise and added time to plan his attack.

Delta-M

@3xcal1bur Since all a Discord account requires is an email, you could theoretically just make one under her nose. If she doesn't have a problem with the Phansite then you could just stick to text chat and pretend it's another forum.

MinatoArisato14

I sleep at 12 or 1 sometimes 11 on weekends

3xcal1bur

alright. I'll notify when I'm done with making the account.
:D

MinatoArisato14

Sneaky

MinatoArisato14

Hahaha! My parents have no idea I'm on this

3xcal1bur

alright im
3xcal1bur #2776

3xcal1bur

can i have everyones discord tags so i can add them?

3xcal1bur

actually is there even a discord server up for P.H.A.N.S?

KillerQueen

I would also like to join P.H.A.N.S, my discord is xenosan#7865. Narcissus won't expect my superior tactics, I'm sure.

3xcal1bur

@KillerQueen
how far is your knowledge of cipher and code?

3xcal1bur

also im not exactly the best person to decide who gets in or not.

Migrant

Glad you decided to post that card and not me. I can't cipher and I also was at work.

Viva

I like when the Phantom Thieves Logo matches up with somebody's profile avatar, making it look like they're wearing the hat and mask.

Migrant

So here's the plan.

@bluehairedemo and @RobowaifuAigis are getting married. When that's going on, we ignore Narcissus unless it becomes impossible to ignore him.

If our gambit fails and Narcissus is early or late, it's just kick ass time.

Ari3s

Update:

Narcissus has been eliminated. He came much earlier than we had anticipated.

imtherealklib

That sucks for the other PHANS, but it was dangerous. I'm glad they were safe.

Ari3s

Exactly! For now, at least. As for now, we have a wedding coming up, and training to do.

3xcal1bur

Sweet, wedding! Maybe it'll be a breath of fresh air for once lmao

desgroup

So, Is there an ARG going on here?

Delta-M

There was a small one (like, really small) regarding the "Deadly Sin" boss Narcissus and vanity. But on the whole? Not really I'd say. Who knows what'll happen in the future though.

MonoDj

Good job!

Migrant

Advisory for all P.H.A.N.S members.

Naoya_Toyo claims that his Shadow will likely be appearing soon. It has trapped him in the year 199X and is "pure consolidated crystal-clear unadulterated no embellishments 100% No Artificial Flavors EDGE in its most basic form."

Violence strongly encouraged.

3xcal1bur

Great, I'll finally be able to beat the shit out of an edgelord.
