Chapter Title: A Gallery Without Judak
-----------------------------------------------------------------
A gallery without Judak.
It was no different from flat cola.
Useful features deleted.
Market items reset.
A lawless zone overrun with tactical nukes and gross memes.
- Blah blah blah... blah blah...!
- I'm a reishi mushroom
- What is life?
As people gradually descended into chaos one by one, just two notice posts went up.

Exactly one week prior, right at the peak of the Judak hunt—this was the notice post from then.
The only difference was the addition of 'Reply' to this curt notice.
But the reaction this time was entirely different.
- The world is moving again
- Oh man!!! Why show up now, you bastard!!
- Hellohellohellohellohello
- I swear I'll never ignore greetings again
- (Frog knight meme clapping with tears)
The gallery was in full festival mode.
For this moment, there were no tactical nukes or gross memes.
The notice post's views skyrocketed, and replies poured in endlessly.
- You're resuming activity, right?
- Fuck, I waited so damn long, Judak...
- If you ghost again, I'm legit leaving the gallery...
- Yeah~ please don't ghost~ if you do, I'll leave the gallery, that's it~
A gallery without Judak was as silent and cold as a stone floor.
Instinctively recalling the old days, the gallery was utterly consumed by PTSD.
They finally recognized that Judak wasn't just the public restroom janitor—he was the gallery admin.
But contrary to people's hopes, Judak didn't add any market items.

(Adrian Cathedral meme)
[Recommendations 9999+] [Disrecommendations 94]
- ???
- Wh-what is this
- (Elf blinking dumbly meme)
- The problem's too hard, teacher
He simply posted a single meme as a new notice.
That was it.
Seconds, minutes, even hours passed with no further activity.
At first, the gallery users were baffled, but at least the implication was clear.
- Someone figure out the poster's intent, fuck
- Answer: Option 1
- Oh, Judak ghosted again!!!
Figure out the poster's intent.
Or he wouldn't return.
The gallery users immediately racked their brains collectively, pooling their group intelligence, and soon cracked the interpretation.
[Title: Interpretation of Judak's Meme...jpg]
Nice to see you, great day
Nah, actually not nice to see you and not a great day fuck
Why? 'Cause Judak ain't coming back
So I cranked my brain to full power, scanned that photo and the week before the Judak hunt
And found something weird
(Troll posts flooding in meme)
(Similar speech patterns, spacing, spelling meme)
(Period at the end of every sentence meme)
The bait started out of nowhere, no context
Usually someone drops bait, others bite, and it spreads gradually
But check this—suddenly at midnight, Judak suspicion posts flood in
Speech is subtly off, but always ends with periods
Especially "You still believe Judak?" ← Consistently typos "neunan" here
What is this?
(Torch-wielding frog peasant meme)
What else? Fuck, it's revolution time
[Recommendations 5123] [Disrecommendations 93]
- You guys were the trolls
- Now that I look, disrec numbers are similar on all these posts?
- Yeah fuck, they suck at gallerying so common traits in weird spots
- (Frog knight blushing meme)
People started digging up posts from a week ago based on just one photo.
They quickly grasped the meme's meaning.
- Fuck, the cathedral again?
The cathedral had pulled troll shit.
*
The circumstantial evidence was solid.
Anyone could see the cathedral was the troll ringleader.
"But that's not enough."
It couldn't serve as proof.
Nothing's more dangerous than pinning blame based on speech patterns alone.
[Title: This is slander!]
Author: Louis
As expected, Archbishop Louis stepped out as the cathedral's rep, proclaiming their innocence.
Where is the evidence?
If speech patterns are evidence, anyone could be the culprit.
How can you accuse us based on such reasons?
This itself is a sin!
We warn Judak.
You're posting memes labeling us culprits without clear evidence?
Aren't you afraid of divine punishment for false accusations?
Stop leading more lambs astray and repent your sins.
Delete the notice immediately and post an apology to the cathedral.
Otherwise, you'll fall to hell for your crimes.
[Recommendations 1412] [Disrecommendations 9853]
- Hmm...
- But coldly speaking, they're right
- Judak just posted the cathedral meme, didn't explain why?
Can't pin blame on speech patterns alone.
He posted a meme without solid proof, stirring opinion, and even threatened hellfire.
But...
"So?"
So what?
Fake news never needed reasons anyway.
Wasn't the cathedral's daily routine basically witch hunts?
The cathedral excelled at incitement and fabrication.
I was just countering with the same incitement and fabrication.
- Judak*) lol
Lol. Just two letters.
It held more power than pages of reasons and solid proof.
- lmao
- Guess there's a reason?
ㄴ Fr lol, long tongue mean shit?
ㄴ But church was suspicious from way back
ㄴ Fr those sneaky fucks
The gallery swiftly pinned the blame on the cathedral, as if nothing happened.
They'd always disliked them, knew it all along, etc.
"Proof? I already have proof they're guilty."
More than anything, I had ironclad evidence that the cathedral was behind it.
Compile the posts from the Judak hunt era, analyze IPs—they all pointed to the cathedral.
Sure, they tried smartening up with different nicks, locations, multiple posts...
"Who am I?"
[Analyzing all IPs used by that user]
No matter how they spoofed IPs by changing locations, the system retained all prior IP history.
In other words, the cathedral had tried to lynch me via opinion warfare.
But even with this solid proof, I didn't reveal it for a simple reason.
"Time to hit back the same way."
Incited and attacked first with fake news?
Now it was their turn to eat fake news.

[Title: Chilling Cathedral Update...jpg]
(Crowd surrounding from all sides meme)
(Clergy trying to intervene but pelted with tomatoes, fleeing meme)
(Violently shaking the front gate meme)
Open the door, you fuck
- lol let's go~
- Revolution, gotta happen?
- What, event already open?
After the notice, people swarmed to the cathedral.
A massive crowd reminiscent of modern protests encircled it.
"Wow, feels like watching old protests."
Difference being pitchforks and blades instead of placards and candles.
"Calm down!"
"It wasn't us!"
A few clergy emerged to dissuade them, but it only backfired.
[Title: lol these fuckers]
(Bishop's room fridge visible through window meme)
Using the market fine, huh?
Got that pricey fridge too lol
Guys who took donations and shopped market daily, why troll? No clue
[Recommendations 1202] [Disrecommendations 94]
- Anyway, no using it!
- lol wanna use market but also check us
- Pisses me off fuck lol
- Didn't they pull priest shields during the great war, watched from back?
ㄴ Fuck, exempt?
ㄴ Yeah huddled praying to bail
Past misdeeds got listed one by one, heating things up.
No one was clueless about the market; everyone who'd used it once knew.
Realizing its value amid skyrocketing prices, the gallery users grew more radical.
[Title: Calm down! It wasn't us!]
Author: Louis
This is all Judak's slander!
It wasn't us, calm down!
[Recommendations 102] [Disrecommendations 303]
- Kinda overkill;
- Judak pushing without proof too?
- Almost said "same as Judak hunt?" lol
Not everyone agreed.
Some recoiled at the one-sided frenzy, others believed the cathedral.
That's when I added a new notice.
[Notice: It's Me]
Author: Judak*
Proof compilation: Cathedral is the trolls
(Judak hunt post authors' past IP check meme1)
(Sudden drop in cathedral IPs and post regen proof meme2)
(Archbishop Louis IP matches troll IP meme3)
lol
[Recommendations 9999+] [Disrecommendations 93]
I deliberately posted the solid proof late.
So their excuses would amplify the backlash.
- ???
- No way, thought maybe not but it's real
- Wow, spoofed IPs for trolling?
- How many troll posts per day from one guy;
- Goosebumps fr
Even the lingering cathedral support flipped completely.
"What can they do now?"
Lies didn't work.
Opinion war failed too.
Seemed like normalization was their only option.
No, one more.
Label the protest as heresy.
- Thwack!
Then, an arrow from nowhere struck the head of the man protesting up front.
"Huh?"
In the gif, the man crumpled dead to the ground.
They'd actually drawn weapons on the populace.
"No way, shooting fellow citizens?"
Stunned speechless, post regen suddenly accelerated.
[Title: Fuck fuck fuck]
(Arrows flying one by one meme)
(Protesters hit, writhing or dying meme)
(Heretic Inquisitors and knights emerging, swinging swords meme)
These fuckers lost it
No escape plan, just massacring now
Calling protest heretical riot, blasphemy against god, fuck what now?
Gotta run, can't post more
[Recommendations 1042] [Disrecommendations 93]
- ???
- No way they go this far?
- Shit save me gonna get caught
The cathedral deemed the protest heresy and began slaughtering people.
