Once upon a time there was a Warhammer 40k game called Chapter master. It was an old forgotten but good strategy game where the player would either choose one of the great chapters to command or could make his own army of genetically engineered supermen to command for the glory of the Imperium.
The game gained more fans as some of the players on 4Chan /tg/ talked about their experiences with the game.
Well, actually they were just trolling.
You see the game never existed and they just made up stories and even made fake "screenshots" just so that they could enjoy the tears of those who had been fooled into tinking the game was real.
Then a certain "Duke" decided that the game IS a good idea and he might as well make it into reality.
Now those same threads continued coming up, being filled with three kinds of things:
a) More trolling/joking with fake game stories.
b) Hype about the REAL game that was being made
c) Tears of doubt that the game would never be finished.
Except that now there is a playable alpha version of the game! And it is pretty fun even if a lot of things are still missing/broken.
The best part though is that the threads now and the threads before are extremely similar. Though there are a lot more bug reports now.
