Bot Tactics - what to do when your LEADER has failed (super secret action plan!)
It's non-partisan, kids!

1. Deny anything is happening. Blame the other side for spreading rumors.
2. Admit something happened but say it was taken out of context.
3. Talk about something else like it was over already.
4. Complain you LEADER was framed and offer a new interpretation of what they meant.
5. Say it doesn't matter anyway. Fake laughter, as if you don't care.
6. Accuse the other side of hysteria, or cannibalism if you can get away with it.
7. Accuse the other side of making their LEADER look bad.
8. Accuse the other side of trying to frame your LEADER, but in a much worse way than before.
9. Call everyone idiots. Laugh more while trying to look like the cool one.
10. Demand moderation. Say all the good people are leaving.
11. Praise moderate voices. Act like you never heard of tactics 1-10 and wouldn't use them if you had.
12. Weep, rend clothes, call the other side horrible evil people.
13. Threaten the horrible evil people on the other side with unspecified DOOM.
14. Have a guilt trip, but change 'I' to 'You' before posting. Act superior.
15. Pretend the LEADER of the other side has done something much, much worse.
16. Insist that something the LEADER of the other side did in the past was much, much worse.
17. Say that something which happened your LEADER once was much, much worse.
18. Demand everyone act in a more mature fashion.
19. Talk as if none of the other side were present in order to show how little you care.
20. Say 'You'll be sorry when I'm gone' and pretend to leave. Obsess over your funeral notices.
21. Create a sockpuppet. Better yet, activate one you prepared earlier.

4. You'd be surprised how much social dynamics I compressed into that little post.
It's just as effective in your workplace or that sad gathering of people you refer to as your social life.
