I thought I should start my first proper story here with rumours. Instead of a normal, 'RUMOUR:1.6 ADDS MAJICAL DRAGONS THAT KILL YOUR BLOCKHEADS WITH ONE SHOT-SPAM DAVE WITH QUESTIONS NOW!' click-bait post, I thought I should make a post to never take these seriously.
We'll use that false rumour above and put it through 'The Rumour Truthfulness System'
1) Sanity
Is the rumour sane or insane? That headline is most certainly insane. It scores a 0/10 in this section.
2) Evidence
What evidence did the rumour provide. This rumour merely states this and doesn't back it up so yet again scores a 0/10
3) Abnormal
Does it fit in with The Blockheads? This is most certainly straying far from whatever has ever been added in The Blockheads before. However, cave trolls would be their closest relatives yet still far, far away. In this section it scores a one.
4) Reputable
Who is the source and can we trust them? Lets say a new forumer called 'LOLRANDOMXD11' PMed me stating this rumour along with advertisements for phones and a get-rich-quick site that looks suspicious. They are completely new so this is a 1/10
5) Creative
Majical dragons may be creative but not in this sense: Creative as in something you'd think no one could've ever thought of that adds so much to the game! This would detract from the game in many ways. You'd be on your way collecting fruit from an orange tree and then you get burnt alive. 0/10
6) Helpful
It has to be helpful to you as a player. Sometimes helpful as adds a nice challenge. Sometimes it'll literally help you. Dragons are an overpowered creature. Also 0/10
This fake rumour scores a 1/60 on the SEARCH test (the search for truth! I know it's a bad pun.) This will be a recurring series that I will run with rumours as they appear. Thanks for reading!
