| - Really Real Discordians tend to lump together large groups of typically diverse and quarrelsome individuals, accusing them of being "Greyface", "Cabbages", "Sheep", "Pinealists", or "Really Real Discordians". Really Real Discordians often confuse "disagreement" with "not getting it", and spend lots of time describing how to be a "Good Discordian", as if there's some system to master.

| - Really Real Discordians tend to lump together large groups of typically diverse and quarrelsome individuals, accusing them of being "Greyface", "Cabbages", "Sheep", "Pinealists", or "Really Real Discordians". Really Real Discordians often confuse "disagreement" with "not getting it", and spend lots of time describing how to be a "Good Discordian", as if there's some system to master. Occasionally a Really Real Discordian will determine that other Discordians that they find disagreeable are part of a "Hivemind", engaging in "Groupthink" under the thrall of a "Leader". The "Leader" is usually (mis)identified as the most vocal or controversial member of the group, who may in fact not be well-liked in the group, but who is outspoken and/or offensive enough to become the target of the Really Real Discordian's wrath when the Bad Discordians reject their offers to show them how to become Really Real Discordians. They may then spend a great deal of time and energy trying to dethrone the "Leader", which is pretty funny when you think about it. Even though they seem to violate the Acapulco Rule, Really Real Discordians aren't necessarily Bad Discordians. They serve a valuable purpose: they're bothersome and critical, and renew other Discordians' interest in producing new projects (or completing those ones they said they were going to do, like, a year ago, but never Got Around To)... if only to avoid feeling to themselves like a Really Real Discordian as well. With the right mix of gravitas and absurdity of claim, they are also hilarious. The best way to summon a Really Real Discordian, other than a d20 cast with a save of 23 or lower, is to spew out obscenties while chucking golden, delicious apples. Occasionally, the panties-on-the-head trick may be used.
