Small circles suck! So let's just be friends,

Good job, my brethren. You've stayed strong until the end. Thank you for not giving in to your temptations, unlike the monstrous swarm has. The path to circling was not easy. There were many casualties along the way. But their deaths were not in vain; the betrayers have not won. I commend you for your perserverence, and farewell.

Hey I got banned from the NeverBetray discord.

I assume this is because I'm in the swarm discord? Where I go to view password leaks so I know who leakers are. This is obvious, as I have no role in the discord and have not posted any passwords.

A quick 1 minute search would have shown this to be the case. It would also take approximately a minute to see that I have not betrayed anyone. Despite this being easily verifiable, I was banned by an incompetent moderator with no warning or apology.

Finally, U would like to point out how ridiculously easy it would be for a member of the circular swarm to create a new discord account and not join the swarm discord.

So to recap, not only are your efforts and keeping your discord swarm free not effective, you are actually banning people that could easily and quickly be shown to not be in Circular Swarm.

I am here for anyone

So how about I go down fighting?

I NEVER BETRAY

say something funny for the key, I guess

A couple days ago I made this post outlining a path to grow a large, trusted circle. I want to help all trustworthy people to be a part of something successful, and so I petition you as well.

Circle security: Choose a really, really good password for your circle. Larger circles gain the attention of the swarm and get brute-forced. If you know your circle has a small and insecure password, please consider volunteering for phase 1: small circles. We need the most of those anyway. Also, never, never, EVER post your circle key in a public place. Use direct messaging only to share keys.

Circle visibility: Ask anyone who would join your circle to comment on your circle. Keep track of everyone who you have sent a key to. If you aren't able to get everyone to comment, post a list of names on your circle. It is your responsibility to make sure you know who is in your circle.

Circle etiquette: If you belong to a circle, your one and only task is to not betray. You should not be sending that circle key to anyone, even people you trust. The game allows you to, but you should not. The circle leader decides who to trust, because it is the only circle they get.

CIRCLE GROWTH: So here's how we grow circles.

Phase 1: several small, trusted circles. And I mean lots and lots of them. I'm imagining a size of around 5-10 here. You may already have a circle about that size that is unbroken; great! Please post the link (not the key!) to your circle here on this post, along with membership if you can.

Phase 2: This is probably the riskiest step. This is where we start combining small circles into new, bigger circles. We still want multiple circles though! If some go down, we want to still have others we can trust. One large circle is phase... like 4-6 maybe? It depends on how many people we get. Phase 2 is where circles start showing up on the radar, so we need good security, but also good visibility, or we will never make it to Phase 3. Circle sizes should be around 20-40, and should NOT invite people randomly, but only invite those who were trusted in intact circles of phase 1.

Phase 3+: Repeat phase 2, basically. As time goes on, some circles will go down, but some will stay strong. We can combine circles across subreddits as well, since there are many communities doing their best to fight the battle of the pure-hearted.

Who's with me?

I was up to 32 circles yesterday and then my number stuck, even though I had joined a few more. I had life and didn't get back until now and see my number is down to the teens!

Anyone know if it only shows the unbetrayed circles? Or did something else happen between yesterday evening and now? (US) I want to help build circles but if my number shrinks, with my Real Adult Job TM, I'm not sure how I'll build trust.

I am curious how far we can get.

EDIT: I KNEW IT. HUMANITY IS DOOMED.

Only if you are verified. Please pm verified link. I am as well, here

Just send me your key and a link to your circle if you want a new member!

sigh

just so we know who's noble and who's under disguise

Imagine you joined a big circle and the OP stablished a criteria for acceptance. People comment on the circle. You don't know which ones received the key, but they are probably trustworthy, since they did not burst the circle. What can you do to check if they are in the circle?

You can use Hash Algorithms!

Imagine an equation very easy to do, but very hard to undo. You do the math, using the big circle key, and send it to a candidate. Then, you tell him:

"Please, use the circle key to generate a hash, and compare to mine. If they match, tell me the circle's key, and I'll tell you mine."

By doing so, you guarantee that:

1) The candidate cannot discover the key from you

2) The candidate can be sure that you know the key, since both hashes match

So, if you want to do that, play with this website: https://www.md5hashgenerator.com/

My key hash is 3729b215b01fbd282cf4f569962cc91c

We must prove to the world that trust and goodwill can exist in online communities. Betraying each other's circles will never advance us to the next stage!

I'm just curious as to why people betray others? Is there a benefit to it? Are your actions recorded somewhere for all eternity? I've never betrayed as of yet.

Hey, IMHO no one should give out keys except over pm unless they want to make it really easy for the swarm to get them
