A quick definition of badger game:

Term: Badger Game

Definition: The badger game is a trick used to get money or other benefits from someone by setting them up in a compromising situation and then threatening to expose their behavior. For example, a person may be lured into a situation with a woman who is pretending to be interested in them, only to have her husband or accomplice show up and demand payment to keep quiet. It is a form of blackmail and can be illegal.

A more thorough explanation:

A badger game is a type of scheme where someone tries to extort money or some other benefit from another person by setting them up in a compromising situation and then threatening to expose their behavior to the public.

For example, a woman might pretend to be interested in a man and lure him into a hotel room. Once they are alone, her accomplice bursts in and claims to be her husband, demanding money in exchange for not pressing charges or exposing the man's behavior to his family or friends.

Another example could be a group of people who invite someone to a party and then secretly record them engaging in illegal or embarrassing behavior. They then use this footage to blackmail the person into giving them money or other benefits.

These examples illustrate how a badger game works by using deception and coercion to manipulate someone into giving up something of value. It is important to be aware of these types of schemes and to avoid situations that could potentially be used against you.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
I hear some say 1x per month.
I hear others say more frequently
17:10
depends on the school! NU said once a week, UVA said never
And if I have nothing new to say in a LOCI, do I just write a presumably pretty short one that reiterates my interest?
17:11
yup
And one more question. Can these just be emails or do they all have to be uploaded to the application status checker?
I know some schools have the latter as an option
17:12
just keep them updated if plans change. I emailed UVA when I got Mich and told them I had a new deadline and I got the II 2 days later
17:12
I'd just do whatever they say, Cornell I know is a status check upload as well as NU
17:12
UVA was a form, Mich and GULC I emailed
I think some don't specify, but maybe I missed it.
for some of them
17:13
if they don't specify and they don't have a spot in the status checker I'd email and ask
Another factor here is how badly I really want to get off a waitlist. If I wanted it really badly, that would be one thing. I mean, I do want it. But I'm happy enough going to BU. Maybe I should try to convince myself that I really, really have to get in off the WL somewhere... (also, maxed out on messages in this chat, 15/15)
