Just to summarize for the new folks as the first two episodes were locked and hidden and this one will possibly get locked and hidden if Flips keeps coming back posting
Episode 1 - the "EliteUAS buys the M8541 scopes". In this Episode, our protagonist, Flips (aka EliteUAS, aka Toucan Tactical) buys out Eurooptics S&B M8541 scopes to corner the market, then brags about it on the Hide. HE gets called out for it and reacts terribly. It is then revealed that Flips has some music videos floating around. His "Flex image" is found and posted way too much. He continues to react in a way that not only does not stop people from criticizing but encourages more. We find out that he was raped by a roommate, that he was working as an undercover agent for JTAC, that he wore out his welcome on HKPro and those members came over to the Hide to dogpile. He threatened to sue everyone and took his case to Social Media, which once again did not play out as he expected. In the ensuring hilarity, Flips stickers featuring the abominable snowman were taken to SHOT Show for a game of Hide and Seek. Patches and poker chips were made up and a Snipers Hide currency ("Flips") was established. One Flip has the exchange rate of $15,000.

Episode 2 - the MT6 thread - Flips gets arrested. It really just reminds everyone what happened in Episode 1.
Episode 3 - the MT6 story and apology referenced above. Flips logs back on to apologize to Frank. No one knows why he couldn't just send an email instead of airing things out publicly. He also explains the back story - he was off his meds to lose weight, bought a $100,000 BMW, entered a manic phase, went to the Pentagon to see his "handler" using his code name ("Flintlock"), drove like a bat out of hell back home being chased by police, drew a weapon on police, but they then put away their weapons when he explained that they were all on the same side. He explains this as a way to finally say goodbye. But after saying goodbye he doesn't leave, he just keeps doubling down.
Let me know if I left out anything pertinent
Edited to add: this thread also introduced referring to oneself in the third person, as in "Johnnnycat is impressed that this thread has gone this long. Johnnycat hopes it will continue".
Thread then went on a few tangents including discussions regarding women on the Hida, boiled peanuts, and Lowlight accidentally shot his iPhone (in contrast to Flips who shot his iPhone with a suppressed Glock to stop people from tracking him)
