Re "desciples":
Greetings dangrsmind. Thanks for all of the effort you've invested in this, and for sharing it with us. Unfortunately, it seems there is an error in your post. Sicktanick does repeatedly misspell "disciple" and "disciples", but not in the manner you suggested, "d
esciples"; rather, he repeatedly uses the spelling "
deciples". Since I'm not sure what system you used to map English words to a numeric value, I'm unsure whether the effect is that your post contains a repeated typo, or if backing theory itself it is incorrect.
Re Sicktanick's occult life:
Sick recently set his post that addressed his occult credibility to private viewing only. Perhaps he did so inadvertently. If not, it seems like a wussy move. Or to put it in terms he might prefer "damn, if he did that on purpose, that PBDB is bltch made." It's also nearly pointless, as in the internet era his bragging about having teh ultimat d3adly powerz will be on display for a long time:

This link was posted earlier in the thread before he set it to private, but I'd like to point out an interesting section:
Now, this is in a post specifically attempting to establish his street/occult cred, so it's just as likely that this was meant to be more Sicktanick teh 3VlL OCCULT RITUALIST than Shrim the man. But far more interesting, is a similar idea he alludes to in the post regarding the death and murder of his "friends"*, where one would have to assume that he is writing in a more serious tone; ie, more as Shrim the man than Sicktanick teh DEFILER. In confronting those who call him a snitch and focus on that rather than the death of the girls, he says:
Here he mentions his left-hand path, and insists that his enemies will suffer tremendously. Followers of the left-hand path are willing to use magick to harm their enemies. So he -- in the middle of a post about the tragic death of his fans and friends and their family -- mentions that his occult power is rather dangerous for his enemies. Interesting.
The more I read, the more it seems that Sicktanick actually believes in the power that his occult practices provide him... He even has a (quite silly) post where he touches on a pseudoscientific explanation for occult power:

In another post, he says (while explaining the role of a deciple, it's an interesting, silly read in its entirety):

No more entertainment! I can see how some impressionable idiots might take that too far. Though I doubt he has to worry too much about too many people being entertained by his music ;-) In all seriousness though, when I listened to In Tha Name Of, I was amazed at the sense of evil it evoked. I've long been a (part-time) fan of dark music, and laughed at people who took it too seriously, and at those who suspected that it had a significant negative effect on listeners, but this was my immediate reaction to his song. Hypocrisy? Perhaps! But besides the fact that my position has been more nuanced in the months leading up to the murders, I also think that it has something to do with the difference between singing about, on the one hand,
abstract evil or dark matters, and on the other hand, glorifying
concrete, graphic evil actions. (All that said, if I was into horrorcore music, I think I would like many of his songs. I prefer some of what I've heard from him -- aesthetically -- over what I've recently heard from several others horrorcore performers.)
Sicktanick and Sam
For the record -- to date -- I sincerely doubt that Sicktanick commanded (or even expected, though of course that's less certain) Sam to commit these vile acts. But it is easy to see how a disturbed individual could either misinterpret the message or how that individual, having plunged himself into a reality full of these dark thoughts, could find his conscience desensitized and the obstacles to a realization of his horrific fantasies destroyed.
As an aside, it's quite humorous to imagine Sam reading these boards, furious that the spotlight is once again being blocked by (the ever-widening, baby-faced) Sicktanick. "NOOOOO I! ME! ME! I-IIIIIII KILLED THEM! PAY ATTENTION TO MEEEEE" What a loser.
Re Sicktanick's misspelling in general:
I too spent some time combing over his words and taking note of his misspellings and wondering at their meaning. But then I came across several posts that had rather silly and almost certainly meaningless spelling errors, eg, a post where he mentioned being accused of rape and that the accuser should take a "D&A" test :-D Then I saw him mentioning that we should forgive his spelling of charichter ... Gematria has always seemed like such an indeterministic endeavor, where two practitioners can come to wildly different conclusions given the same exact data. When combined with his propensity to misspell in general, and the fact that it is time-consuming, and the fact that he is almost certainly deriving pleasure (ewwww) from the knowledge that we are paying such careful attention to his utterances, I've determined to avoid spending any more time on his spelling (or very much more on any of this), short of new damning evidence or analysis.
