INTEREST: 'Jaeger!' Tweeted 180,452 Times During Linked Horizon's New Year Performance

Sounds pre-planned if everyone was waiting for a specific word.

A Nico Nico Douga server developer had challenged Japanese viewers of the film to try to crash the Nico Nico Douga website during the moment that the main characters Pazu and Sheeta say the spell word "balse" at the climax of the film (Nico Nico Douga simultaneously streamed the film as it was airing in Japan).

But the odds that 180,000 people would all spontaneously tweet the same word in the exact same second are extremely low.

Furthermore, the previous two such events with Laputa were both pre-planned:

So yeah, it is pretty obvious that the mass "Jaeger!" tweeting for the Linked Horizon concert was pre-planned.

Pre-planned or spontaneous?

I'm sure some people spontaneously tweeted but it was pre-planned.

Tweets such as this were floating around: https://twitter.com/sakusakususan1/status/417961166846316544

This tweet afterwards made me laugh: https://twitter.com/kinpira_tako/status/417980463412965376
"To those who just tweeted 'Jaeger,' an [NHK] employee will be coming around later to collect the broadcast fees."

In Japan, any household that has a TV is supposed to pay broadcast fees to NHK but many people ignore them.

I'd love to ignore them, now that the collectors can't see my TV... But the guilt... It aches...
