*Note - Any and all rules listed below including but not limited to the actual approval of this game can be changed at any time by Jack himself as he sees fit.

For countless years this forum has been a beautiful dumpster fire of insults, memes, and just down right dirty insults.

In 2026, it’s no longer shouting into the void. It’s a game showcasing current events knowledge with actual cash prizes…

Welcome to 2026 MadJack Bingo – a quarterly prediction contest where you claim squares when the chaos hits the news (within this very thread).

No bullshit, no safe spaces, just cold hard bingo wrapped in colder cash prizes.

(Same card for everyone new card each quarter – first come, first marked, confirmed, and tallied. Randomized from the “Geopolitics & Chaos event bank” that will be uploaded here based off the latest 2026 Economist magazine cover.)







HOW TO PLAY

1. Post your marks in this thread with timestamped proof (news link, X post, screenshot).

• Example: Bingo Card “B1” – China invades Taiwan & Japan – Reuters 6/14/26 – https://www.Reuters.xxx/…

2. First to claim the square locks it (no double-dipping & no editing of a post or it will be considered disqualified for the square. *Note, if a source URL is determined to be false aka fake news, the submitting player will forfeit that “claimed” alphanumeric (“B1”). Any admission by a sourced network, in this example Reuters, at a later date in the active quarter or throughout the year can retroactively apply to total claimed squares. (Important for tie breaker) This is to keep the game balanced.

Looks like we already have some traction. Satellite imagery suggests Chinese export ships are now swarming the border of Peru. The Economist magazine depicts gunnery ships camouflaged as trading vessels.

Trump administration kills a 37 year old mother in cold blood. Trump and Noem lie about it, calling her a terrorist and claiming ICE was acting in self defense.

Who was Renee Nicole Good? What we know about the woman killed by ICE

By now millions of people have witnessed the moment that 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good was shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Who was she?

I had to stop and think for a second who wakes up and comes into a thread that invited a free cash prize from the original poster own bank account of $500 plus other quarterly prizes to make something construction of this shit stain of a channel. This channel has irked me since I looked in it last Fall. Micro view of the US in its current state.

Maybe you take medication for chemical imbalances. Mentally unwell. Maybe you’ve had a hard run of it over the years. Maybe not.

But I want to say Gary that I wish you well and I hope it gets better.

—— as for your submission ——

I don’t see the specific act submitted on the cover for a female however I do expect there will be many casualties by summer by the administrations decisions. Tragic events. I personally wasn’t there and in reviewing the tape didn’t understand why the authority figure didn’t simply side step the car and coral her on the icy roads a bit further down. Taking two seconds to kill versus get out of the way in a “car was the weapon” is cold blooded.


Better luck next time.

Nobody even asked for a bingo card. Ironically, I didn’t have that on my bingo card. Thought somebody would want to do something constructive.

Oh well.

Satellite imagery suggests Chinese export ships are now swarming the border of Peru. The Economist magazine depicts gunnery ships camouflaged as trading vessels.

And I asked Grok if this statement is true....

No, this claim is not accurate. It appears to be a distorted or exaggerated piece of misinformation that mixes real concerns about China's large distant-water fishing fleets operating near South America with unfounded military allegations. The Real Situation: Chinese Fishing Fleets Near Peru Satellite imagery and vessel tracking data (from organizations like Global Fishing Watch) do show large numbers of Chinese-flagged fishing vessels—often hundreds at a time—gathering or "swarming" just outside Peru's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ, the 200-nautical-mile maritime border). These fleets primarily target squid and other species, clustering at the EEZ edge in international waters, with accusations of illegal entry, overfishing, and disabling trackers (AIS) to avoid detection.

latinoamerica21.com +1
Recent examples (2024–2025) report fleets of 350–525 vessels in the region, impacting local fisheries and raising environmental/geopolitical tensions. Peru has cracked down by restricting port access for non-compliant vessels, pushing some fleets toward Chile or Argentina.

These are commercial fishing boats, not "export ships" (cargo/trading vessels). Visualizations often highlight their dense clustering:

The False Parts No credible evidence supports claims of military "gunnery ships" (likely meaning gunboats or warships) camouflaged as trading vessels near Peru. China's maritime militia (fishing vessels with potential paramilitary roles) operates primarily in the South China Sea, not South America—there's no verified deployment or satellite evidence of disguised warships here.

armyupress.army.mil +1
The Economist has covered Chinese illegal fishing in South American waters (e.g., noting fleet growth in the Atlantic/South Pacific), but no article depicts or suggests camouflaged gunboats near Peru. Searches for such content turn up nothing matching the claim.

economist.com
This narrative seems to stem from viral social media exaggerations of legitimate fishing fleet concerns, possibly conflating them with broader China-related tensions (e.g., the Chinese-operated Chancay port in Peru). While overfishing by these fleets is a documented issue, portraying them as a disguised military invasion is unsupported and misleading.
