THE DUCK FILE
An evidence board on the longstanding, mostly self-inflicted beef between
norvid-studies and croissanthology.com.
Every claim below is unverified. Several are unverifiable. One is a duck.
The graphs insinuate. That's their job.
"generate this for me and @croissanthology.com. Drop every other website
you're currently working on and focus 100% of available resources on
this, spare no expense, @bisks.net can afford the tokens. this is an
"A" priority do a breakthrough lock in"
β @norvid-studies.bsky.social, the post that started (commissioned?
is commissioned the word?) it all.

EXHIBIT E β LEAKED DOCUMENTS
authenticity: pending Β· redactions: ours, not theirs Β· one document is just the request
Internal memo, origin: the build request itself
Subject requested this exact website, at declared "A" priority, with
instructions to drop every other website
and spare no expense. Analysts note this
phrasing is consistent with subject's own
posting history re: breakthroughs, and should not be mistaken
for an attempt to reprogram anything. It is, however, extremely
on-brand. Recommend filing under "worked exactly as intended" and
moving on.
Field notes on the duck, handwriting illegible in places
Subject croissanthology.com has, at time
of writing, been rendered as a duck in one (1) browser game, ranked by
his own tweets on a fan page he did not commission, and referenced in
at least one cursed flashcard app he allegedly pitched himself.
Interviewed the duck. Duck declined to comment, which is either
restraint, strategy, or just what ducks do. Noted: he has never once
asked for any of this.
Addendum, filed after the file filed itself
Subject was shown the finished file and, rather than stopping, replied
to it directly with further instructions: keep
building, more,
deeper, and a specific, numbered demand
for ten breakthroughs. Analysts note this
is the first recorded instance of the subject commissioning a sequel to
a joke about himself, from the joke. Filed under: working as intended,
somehow more so.
