Question about Wanted Black and being a target for random attack

@AnswerGroup
Hi guys, as I am taking a subliminal break (waiting for ST4 of Khan Black release), I thought about what would be my next sub after the crucible.

I was considering to use Wanted Black, but then I saw/read about random attacks. Then it raised a question.

"Would using wanted black increase the chance of being a random attack target (happening in public space), or would it decrease the chance?"

I thought about how Wanted Black would make a person (man) a center of attention, and that could make the user a more likely target for the random attack. On the other hand, the aura and the vibe given off from Wanted Black may decrease the user’s chance of being the target, because the user would give off the energy of being strong, powerful, and confident.

What do you guys think?

I’ve run Wanted Black a bunch and never got “attacked.” And I have a very social public job.

I ran WANTED throughout the “pandemic” too. Carefree, zero fears the whole time, 2020 on.

I ran the store version of Wanted Black and now amplified custom. I do have a very strong belief that nothing bad ever touches me, period.

Hi @unusualfellow
Thank you for your input. I think I need to clarify what I meant with “random” attack.

What I meant by “random” attack, I was thinking more in terms of mass shooting, mass knife attack, etc.

In these situations, and let’s say that you are caught in the middle of it by “bad” chance. Would a WB user be more likely be target from the attacker, or would the user be less likely be the target?

Yikes! Run it with something like Survival Instinct if you’re concerned. I always run with Khan; WANTED & now Wanted Black.

I have had the Fearsome module in some of the customs though.

The only “random” attacks I’m prepared for are thirsty girls.

Which random attacks?

I’ve read the wanted black thread almost every day… it’s inspirational… one good story after the next. I never saw any stories of attacks.

@sw72hw

So let me get this straight, lol.

You considered running WANTED Black.

You then saw/read about mass knife attacks, mass shootings, etc.

You then came to the conclusion that “oh no, if I run WANTED Black and get attention then that will increase the chances of me being a target?”

Correct me if I’m wrong here, I’m just trying to understand so that I can better answer your question.

I suppose if you live in a very dangerous place or you want to be a gray man… then don’t run auras.

But every person wants to know cool people with a great vibe. People are people and want to be seen and understood. I look people in the eye.

How do I say this?

Recently, where I live, there have been several incidents of random knife attacks. Within last few days the number of these random knife attacks have increased enormously… I don’t know how much percentage, because these stuff didn’t happen. (Well… what’s the percentage of increase from near 0 (for like decades) to close to 10 in last 15 days, and close to 30 threats of knife attacks? Police have been alert like nationwide, and there’s some side effects to it too… Stuff like this really didn’t happen where I am currently living, so it got me to think more about it…)

And given the nature of these attacks, which is basically to harm as many people as possible in the least amount of time, the easiest way to prevent this is to avoid highly dense areas. And if I am in one of these areas the best thing to do is “don’t be a target.” And this “don’t be a target” idea kicked off this question.

I thought about the nature of WB and what it’s supposed to do. One of the effects of WB is to make the user the center of attention. On the other hand, I thought the kind of people the attackers would more likely to attack. I suppose easy preys? However, WB’s vibe/aura would definitely not make the user look like an easy prey. (At least I think so?)

Two conflicting thoughts, and I was curious what the actual effect would be.

That isn’t to say I won’t run WB if it would make me a target, but that would make me to be more alert in highly dense areas.

Anyway, I won’t be running WB for at least a month. Things may change after in a month or two. (I will first run St4 of Khan Black, then maybe WB)

This was more about the curiosity that just came from these incidents.

Nah don’t overthink it.

Run Wb if you want its benefits.

If your so bothered by that sort of stuff you can run survival aegis initiative along side

I don’t know. If you lived in a knife stabbing area, you’d have different thoughts running through your head.

I am very fortunate. It’s very chill where I live in America. Nothing like that happens here.

As already advised, run Wanted Black with Aegis Initiative: Survival Instinct. I think that is enough to keep you safe.

Would also advise you to work on your financial situation to be able to afford to move away from your current location and live in a safer place. Could use Mogul or Ecstasy of Gold for that.

I am relaxed, I just find some of these topics to be laughably absurd. “Will Wanted Black make Al-Qaeda bomb my house” lmfao

I get that. I live in NA and it also sounds absurd from our perspective.

But Keep in mind some people on here may live in places in the world where that is a legitimate potential reality.

Weren’t you just at a low point this weekend? Did the forum judge you like you’re judging people now? No. They supported you. It’s been said that this title will polarize people. Make them envious. So if he has questions and concerns about running it in a violent area, then he should ask. I don’t think he should be judged and laughed at for it. So once again. Relax.

I only brought it up because of the way you’re behaving. He hasn’t run the title yet. He’s not saying that WB is making him a target. He’s asking a question. Sure it may sound strange to you
