Future of WIZ DUM GUN - Should (Can) Deagle Nation Continue?

[tehfolder]

DN is not the same to me now that I know it's fake. I doubt I would continue to sit through long livestreams and filler content. I will keep watching the short to the point videos, I also like this new January character. My personal wish is to see DN characters mess around and get reactions from unwitting people on the street, that would keep me laughing. Also getting people to believe January would be funny, but I doubt anyone will fall for January being real.

For fuck sakes - come out and publicly apologize to Wu and the rest already. You took the joke too far and got burned. You are on their side now. 8 Chan is cyberbullying and death threatening you with skeleton imagery. Your own mother has to hide in the basement behind three padlocks. Hotwheels needs to have his legs broken. SEE THE ERROR IN YOUR WAYS! Patreon helps end hate crimes.

Jace and Tyce together was still as funny as ever. Plus we still have Eli and Kyle and all that. I'd be down for all sorts of group stream shenanigans.

Would you guys really keep watching streams now that you know he isn't actually insane? Honestly curious, I've seen almost every stream he has done and it doesn't hold the same appeal now that I know he's acting. It's not as unpredictable and funny.

It still think it would be funny. Maybe a bit more scripted with other bit players, but it would still be ok.

Come on men. #teambluepill is narrowly ahead! #standwithstryker

But seriously Jan, you should make what you personally want to make and what you think would be funny. That's what you're best at.

For me, alot of the enjoyment came from trying to figure out if it was real or fake. I loved not being sure, even when things Went over the top. Now that I've seen Jans face and how he talks normally, the act is too obvious and the illusion and the magic is gone.

Jace should run for President. Think about it: ad campaigns, debates, interviews, #legalizeit, muck raking, mud slinging, smear campaigns, flip-flopping, scandals, etc.

Edit: or take it in a candid camera direction. Go forth into the public and #prankmaster #Tyced people.

I could see a Deagle Nation Vermin Supreme-esque party working.

FOR GAMERS
FOR AMERICA

I voted limited capacity because I think taken in a different direction, Jace could still be an amazing character to perform satire. One of the great things about Jace was that even when he would try to do a good deed, his lack of social skills would always end up with him accidentally revealing his narcissistic intentions. Given how he was becoming more passive to Gail in later streams and the whole GamerGate thing, a scenario where Jace tries to repent for his sins but ends up revealing himself as an even worse human being for me personally could be hilarious. Like, I could totally see Jace doing shit like campaigning for Multiple Sclerosis thinking it will get him free medical weed or trying to donate his Xbox to an orphanage, tricking Gail into thinking he's volunteering when actually it's just a plan so he can play COD unsupervised.

I voted bluepill. DN was still fucking hilarious when you got back into character for the backstage pass stream. Definitely look into the Borat/Ali G stuff people have been talking about in this thread, because that would be fucking rich. That's untapped potential for a lot of laughs.

Personally, I'd like to see stuff like 'Jace' going onto online games and messing with people who aren't in on it, like with that space game where he had fights with several different admins on several different servers. That kinda stuff has potential in my opinion. It might be most fun if it's continued in at least somewhat limited capacity though, since now that the cat's out of the bag, some people might start feeling like having Jace continue the way he always did is beating a dead horse. Personally I still enjoy the characters quite a lot despite it all being fake though.

Also, if you're still sitting on dank swordz episodes, I think I speak for everyone when I say that I'm pretty curious, considering how good the first episode was.

 

[Clown Doll]

I'd personally continue getting blue-pilled because I really liked the gaming streams and shit, but doing something like a mix of DN on the side and new projects (or serious Jan) taking over at times when you feel tired of doing Jace/Deagle Nation shit might be a good thing too. Also, I'm really interested in the DN fan community's survival. I really liked the atmosphere on the board, the fans who created cool fan work/moderated/called streams/posted interesting analyses and generally played well with the DN spirit, I really, really wish we don't throw the community in the wind even if DN in it's current form would be winding down for some time.

I'd definitely love to see more DANK SWORDZ TV-episodes and Jace/Tyce content, but like some other people said, I'd also like to see something like "real talk" with you guys, where you shoot the shit about various enterntainment culture shenanigans like Tom Kulancy/John Ringo shit or Parkour/Wrestling stuff whatever it is that you like to talk about.

 

[Dork Of Ages]

Keep trolling the unsuspecting majority on the Internet. Plently of SJWs and spergs will still demonize you as Jace or as Jan. Might as well go along with it.

 

[Duke Nukem]

I say keep Deagle Nation going as if nothing happened. Of course, now that the truth is known, this is a great chance to create other acts for us to follow. But yeah, Deagle Nation, in all its Mountain Dew soaked insanity, is something that must never die.

 

[Boundman]

The only format change I can really recommend is maybe rile people up more as Jace. Fan interaction was pretty fun, but an element of that is gone knowing you're pretending. There are plenty of prolific people out there who it'd definitely be funny to watch Jace declare a fatwa on.

 

[Gorogoroth]

I started to watch the latest Jace video and I realised I just wasn't interested anymore. I don't think continuing with DN is a bad idea, and I will keep tabs on it, I just think the magic for me is over.

 

[Kosher Dill]

I say retire Deagle Nation - go out on top while everyone's got good memories of the whole thing.

 

[Wolf Appreciator]

1. Spend several years painstakingly establishing January as a character while still doing Jace stuff
2. Do all this under the conceit that Jace and January are two totally different people who hate each other
3. Find a guy who looks exactly like you and pay him to act like Jace while you act like January, or vice-versa
4. Go into a forest clearing and whack each other with nunchucks on camera
5. ????
6. Be the subject of more inaccurate articles on news blogs

 

[Shokew]

Deagle Nation cannot continue what it's doing, now that the truth is fully out - and those responsible are underneath loaded gun that are those angry enough at the ruse to dislike this guy, rather than laugh and move on... Almost all meaning / magic that made it truly entertaining on paper and in practice, especially, has been lost now, at least IMHO.

... Said almost no one, ever.

Still, I'd try something new, if possible.
