Cheating: The Dregs Of The Underground
Cheaters are pretty far from being the big fish of the Liar’s Underground. In fact, although some make lucrative livings swindling people, the majority of them don’t gain a lot from their art..or at least, not much more than a person making a nine to five living makes from their own. I won’t be dealing too much with them and their ilk on here, but a few of the techniques that I bring up for their more advanced peers are also useful for them. Also..some of the most important advancements for the other areas of the Underground come from their arts, and are adapted to fit the rest of our happy little underworld.
Sorry guys…you don’t get as much writing time as the rest of the underworld…at least, not unless I find some really worthy topics for your school of art. Have some suggestions, or think I’m downplaying you too much? Please, leave comments, tell me where the art in cheating surpasses my evaluation of it. I’d like to think that I’m wrong, and that every art has equal merits…but I just haven’t seen it yet.
That having been said, I’m your host, Lodinkinni, and this has been another post of ‘Social Falsification: Tales From The Liar’s Underground.’ I’ll be seeing you next time, when we’ll discuss ‘The Importance Of The Poster Face’.
