Just wanted to let you know that I noticed

Two different guys with the same avatar quoted my post...

How did you do it?
Wait, how did you fool the software? I assume the loophole is fixed so it should be safe to share the story?
edit: yeah I want to know too!
Tell us.
I'm out of academia. Let me know.
Quite frankly, the OP comes off as a roguish 'Magnificent Bastard.' Like, they could make a movie about you.
Sorry to break it to you, OP, especially after two years, but...
If you're a liar, it also seems an awful lot of people have been lying to you too.
A few hints could have pointed you towards the terrible truth.
Like the fact that you had to go through a UCAS application to enter a university in France.
Or the fact the "senate hearing" report you posted picture of came in English rather than in French.
Alas, my poor friend... This entire time, you weren't in France!
You were in the UK!
Even if what you're saying is true (and it sounds like a load of bollocks, to be frank) you're still being totally dishonest, profiting from someone else's work. There's nothing to be proud of here.
In all honesty, I was actually quite amused. Half of my dissertation was plagiarized straight from a nobel prize winning paper by a very prominent researcher.
It was pretty simple to be honest. For those unaware of how the system works, you submit a word file and the software reads through it, highlights the portions that match up with its vast database of papers and articles, and presents a version of your paper with a 'percentage of plagiarism' to the department.
I took screen captures of the text of my entire word file, knit it together in jpegs and pasted it back into the word file. That way, the software was unable to read the jpegs (it can only read text). I left about 15% of varying text scattered throughout the document as a form of plagiarism to avoid suspicion - 15% plagiarism is a healthy amount and shows that you've probably quoted a few articles and papers.
Wow, that's kind of awesome.It was pretty simple to be honest.

Note to self: doubt the veracity of Salvor Haldin in all debates on GAF.
What I learned at university level debating is that lying doesn't help. I'm sure someone else will attest to this, but in the college debating circuit you're judged primarily by the logic through which you construct your argument. Using political and economic precedent is frowned upon, so there isn't much room to wiggle in any bullshit.
Of course I learned that the hard way. Also, in the debating room, chances are that at least one person in the hall knows more about you in the field that you're bullshitting.
However, a Model United Nations event is an excellent platform to lie during a speech and especially during negotiation sessions. For those not in the know, the group involved in passing a resolution usually wins the event. In high school, about an hour into negotiations, I took a sheet and labeled it 'Attendance'. I let it pass around until it came back to me. I erased the part where I had written 'Attendance' and substituted it with 'Votes'. I then stapled that sheet to my resolution and handed it in to the judges. With clear majority, my resolution passed. Of course had the judges not been disinterested high school teachers. they would have tried to verify the votes. But they didn't.
So yeah, luck plays a huge part in bullshit.
