>>1165681https://youtu.be/D4xy49B4aGYThe King of Games is this poster who started a bit of a tradition way back in 2007ish on /a/, informing some proto-/m/fag that if his post ended in 5, his sister would die, and the post did indeed end in a 5, causing an uproar on the board. From there, he grew in power, changing from predicting 5s (which has since become a party trick for getposters) to predicting dubs, then trips, and then quads, and so on, to the point that he searched for larger numbers on boards outside of /a/, popping in and out of boards on a whim just to snatch those digits, something which he did for years. In order to mix things up a bit however, KoG posted images that were semi-relevant to the board which he got the gets, one of which was Cirno, which he started using either during the very start of /jp/ or just before its inception depending on who you ask. Cirno steadily became his most common image used, more so than the actual King of Games, so those who didn't have any idea as to what was happening would see a Cirno image in a board where she otherwise wouldn't appear next to a major get and associate her with digits, some emulating him, creating the first Cirnoposters. For 10 years KoG has labored, and the Cirnoposters both try to claim gets on the behalf of Cirno or else record the endeavors of KoG and their fellow posters, so that they gets might not be lost in 4chan's poorly-made archival system.
There was a dark age in between the period of 2010, in which GETs such as dubs and trips were disabled using the infamous "XXX" system across the board, hampering many would be getposters, but this was minor, for the major numbers, the ones the KoG cared about, the ones the Cirnoposters cared about, were still attainable and were collected at a reduced rate, and those really anal about it could install a script so they could see what the XXXs actually were.
