The '''Whimsy Trial''' (also known as The '''Silly Lil' Guy Test''') is a simple process deployed by the WIDEBOYS, notably [[Taylor]] and [[Prude]] to quickly "test" people to check for social compatibility. | [[File:Discord 2024-02-11 12-56-23.png|thumb|367x367px|Taylor originally proposing the concept.]] | ||

[[File:Discord 2024-02-11 13-27-17.png|thumb|Example of someone passing The Whimsy Trial]] | |||
* The Wonkas | * '''The Wonkas''': The most notable and infamous of all examples is The Wonka's, who being midwits, never once understood the nature of the bit or even bit's in general, causing endless tension between them and Taylor, eventually culminating in their belief he was stupid and that they could break off and do BMW better, realizing quickly how wrong they were. | ||
* The Enclave | * '''The Enclave''': A more recent example of a failed trial, specifically in regards to being overly puritanical in regards to anime avatar's, but also falling into the same trappings as The Wonka's, going as far as to believe Taylor "doxxed' himself when he posted his address (which when simply Googled, revealed to the the FBI HQ in Knoxville, TN) | ||
* '''Pergo Joins''': An old but very notable example to the opposite was the COMMUNISM joins in 2014 during [[Wildstar]], most notably [[Solgnir]] and [[Tony]] (and to a lesser degree [[Dianic]] and [[Gauze]]), who almost immediately not only understood the bit, but joined in fully, adopting the COMMUNISM branding with ease. | |||
