On November 28th, at 3:19 PM, HABIT created its own twitter account (SEVENTRIALS). It follows the style of the all caps tweets. So far it seems to be being established as the primary means of conducting the tournament, outside of the private emails to The Rabbits. This page is meant to be a condensed log/timeline of HABIT's tweets.
Trial Related Tweets
The first tweet, almost immediately after the account was created:
- @EverymanHYBRID BEHOLD, MY SOLO DEBUT. THE GAMES ARE ALMOST READY TO COMMENCE. 231 RABBITS LINED UP FOR THE SLAUGHTER.
Five minutes later, it posted three more times:
- RABBITS # 1 - 77: YOU ARE "THE ANGORA".
- RABBITS # 78 - 154: YOU ARE "THE ENGLISH LOP".
- RABBITS # 155 - 231: YOU ARE "THE NETHERLAND DWARF".
It should be noted that the three groups are named after different species of rabbits. Six minutes after the Netherland Dwarf tweet, Habit posted once more.
- YOUR FIRST TRIAL WILL BE SENT TO YOU SOON. WE'LL START SLOW. I'M JUST THAT KIND. WITH LOVE,
On November 29, the following tweet was sent:
- LET THE GAMES BEGIN. TRIALONE/partone: SEND ME A LIST OF YOUR FIVE MOST BELOVED POSSESSIONS...
- PREFERABLY THOSE WHICH CAN FIT INSIDE A BROWN PAPER BAG. WISH YOU WERE HERE,
thus marking the beginning of the tournament. These tweets are essentially copies of the private emails sent to The Rabbits, with some details omitted. It is also interesting to note the difference in tone between the tweets and emails; the tweets have more of a neutral tone in contrast to the emails.

Non-Trial Related Tweets
On December 10, HABIT tweeted in response to a troll in the comments of Timeline 2010 claiming to be him:
- POSING AS ME ON A TIME-LINE EARNS A SKINNING.
He also tweeted on January 4 reguarding another copycat on the Angora Chat:
- YOU REALLY THINK I'D WASTE MY TIME IN YOUR CHAT? PATHETIC IMPOSTORS, TRY HARDER.
On February 12 after a period of silence, HABIT tweeted twice, alluding to the mostly peaceful government protests in Egypt:
- AGGRAVATION; NOT A SINGLE ONE OF THOSE DAMNED PROTESTERS COULD BE INFLUENCED INTO TRUE ACTION. NOT ONE.
- HOW INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTING AND WEAK OF YOU ALL. REGARDLESS, I SHALL BE RETURNING FROM ABROAD, VERY SOON.
Jeff responded to these two tweets, his only attempt at communication with HABIT thus far.
- @seventrials You disgust me. [J]
HABIT tweeted another example of his poetry on February 19:
- DRIP DROP, SLICE AND CHOP, CHASE THE RABBIT, HOP! HOP! HOP!, RUN AWAY, I DON'T CARE, I WILL FIND YOU ANYWHERE :)
On March 19, HABIT sent two more unsigned tweets with coordinates leading to Memory Town, PA. Jeff tweeted again in response:
- Just got the text update on my phone. I thought we were done playing petty games, @seventrials. [J]
And HABIT replied:
- @EverymanHYBRID NOPE.
On April 22, HABIT tweeted seemingly in response to One step forward, two steps back:
- HA - IT APPEARS THAT BOTH OF THE BROTHERS KNOW A DEAD BITCH.
The two "dead bitches" are presumably Sparky and Jessa.
On July 13, after -.-. was posted, HABIT tweeted:
- SURPRISE, BITCHES.
On July 14th HABIT began a new gambit:
- SAY I WERE TO HAVE TWO ELECTRONIC FILES IN MY POSSESSION. TWO FILES YOU'D BE INTERESTED IN. WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO HELP THE #EMH FOOLS OUT.
On July 16th, HABIT retweeted glennreick:
- [1] @SEVENTRIALS I would even work against the #EMH boys if necessary.
then tweeted:
- HA, JUST REMEMBER THAT, GLENN. THEY TRUSTED YOU.
- HOPE IT WAS WORTH IT: (the Password Protected Files)
