It is getting a bit hard to parse, though. Would it make more sense for it to be a google spreadsheet of some sort instead?
Yeah, I'm not sure how to really proceed too much further. I thought about using one of the top posts to archive old stuff. I'm accepting of ideas though.

Pretre, have you added Warhammer TV to your rumor trackers yet? Seems they've thrown their hat into the ring with things like plastic TKsons and plastic SoBs
|
Reality is a nice place to visit, but I'd hate to live there.

Aren't you the biggest SoB fan on here? And given their "oooo, plastic sisters" comment, I figured that counted.

Nice list. it's crazy long.
How about sorting it by accuracy %, highest # of true first ?

A nice way to get there would be to migrate your data to a google spreadsheet - but I agree, it takes time and work.
Might just be easier to maintain in the future though - a lot easier.
If you need help setting it up so that rumormongerers totals update automatically based on the input of a single rumor etc., don't hesitate to ask.

I am very familiar with excel. It is a good chunk of my job in real life.
My problem is that I don't want to drop that many tracks into a spreadsheet.
Once I had it, I could pivot it out pretty easy, but it would still be icky. Automatically Appended Next Post: Yeah, just popping the text into Excel, it's 20k lines I would need to manipulate.

Hi
firstly I want to thank you for putting this all together. Its a lot of work, and I appreciate the time you have dedicated to it.
Second there is a Guy who frequents TG by the name of Raziel, Most of the plastic SoB rumors are attributed to him, so I'm unsure if you count that as a 4chan one or rather him.
Atia- now i do have a bit of an issue with her regarding what I see as going back on her statement regarding SoB. the fact the GW Facebook team basically mocked a person for asking about them in reference to the bin video.
So if you are reading Atia. what do you say regarding the fact GW just put the kybosh on it?, did you in fact see them? or were you told like the aforementioned 4chan user? who has basically gone into radio silence?
From what is understood that user since lost his job ( supposedly), now I'm unsure how unless people were told to find leak sources or he did it on company devices ( which is just silly )
thanks again
S.Y.

Well, if you can find a signed post from him on TG, then we can attribute it to him. Otherwise, we have no way of knowing it is him.
Atia- now i do have a bit of an issue with her regarding what I see as going back on her statement regarding SoB. the fact the GW Facebook team basically mocked a person for asking about them in reference to the bin video.
We went over this in the CIA thread. She said this originally:
"Someguy: Wait, they weren't joking when they talked about Sisters of Battle?
Atia: Nope"
The only 'backpedaling' that I have seen is this on her blog:
"Me: Does this mean that your earlier predictions Re: Plastic sisters are still true?
Atia: There should be more plastic sisters on the way. No ETA though."

I sorted through 4chan for Raziel and Plastic and didn't find much of any use. I also have not found any other statements from Atia regarding Plastic sisters. I think people may be confusing her actual statements and when she reposted (with attribution) other people's rumors on B&C.
And yes, this is the proper place to talk about rumor accuracy.

*delete* Read it wrong. *edit* Since I have been reading this wrong and I saw Petre asking for links, I am not sure why he is asking for links. So far I see this https://war-of-sigmar.herokuapp.com/bloggings/1222 where she says http://disq.us/p/1cq48dy and this http://disq.us/p/1cp052h. I am not sure if this is what you are looking for Petre. If not, sorry for wasting your time.

Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.
Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?

One was already tracked. I guess I could track the cape thing.
Basically, I'm asking for links to something else that she said about SOB, because everyone keeps saying she has put down something definitive and she hasn't. She said that they weren't joking and that they were still coming (and now that there capes were separate pieces). There's no backtracking there.

Ok, I see Pretre. I don't recall her saying anything else about sisters beside what you said and the link I gave you.

To continue with the conversation on the rumor section on DakkaDakka I have searched through several threads of rumors and will post soon what I found regarding Exodites. Atia's comments were clearly intended as 'Exodites? Maybe'. The ones we had problems to find and were quoted on other forums are originally from Disqus. Atia has set her profile to private and therefore the posts are only accessable and searchable via the blog posts (afaik).
I could not find the event report yet with the Black Library author's hint at Exodites models but will continue searching. I'm currently reading through January 2016 threads on B&C on several subsections and it takes some time.
