Now this is something interesting L&S.

I like your basic idea of using the final result then filling in the blanks in reverse. 
 
Following your setup this is also an idea. 
 
 
Common practice and if you want more info I suggest.
 
 
 
So first the setup. 
 
You arrange a crew of Lackeys to be your front line of attack. Their talents don't need to have detailed knowledge regarding the stock they attack but their talents are more spin and persistence. When you get a couple of bucks per post persistence is key. 
 
Next you need to find a good candidate. You don't pick a stock that no one talks about, you need interest and a built in audience to succeed. You also need at a minimum a stock that has a good story and good fundamentals because if they were to attack a stock that had terrible fundamentals or even fraudulent (love you Carson) it would go straight to zero. But that's not the goal, the goal is knowing you have a good stock so you can drive it up and down incrementally as many times as possible, now that's profitable. 
 
Then you have volume. You would think the preference would be for high volume stocks but what if I said lower might be better? Has anyone here ever seen a post that talked specifically about "Low Volume"? Lower volumes can create much larger price distortions and in creating these distortions you can create in essence the equivalent of  "motion sickness" and make rubber hands puke their shares. Now we're talking. I can literally see a guy on a ship getting beaten by waves trying desperately to hold on to the rails with those flimsy rubber hands of his throwing up shares and when he thinks the end of the world is coming no price is too low!  lol but I digress. The goal again is to drive the price as low as possible skimming as you go. 
 
Naked short selling. You can't get all the info but it's there. As the Attackers go through the process they start to accumulate larger and larger short positions on a stock that in time becomes thinly traded. If one takes the time to look at stocks when they bottomed you will most often find lower volume relative to their average. But don't they have to cover their shorts? How could someone cover a large short position if the stock has no volume? Wait for it, it's coming. 
 
 
So this is also a hypothetical scenario of how it could have played out. 
 
 
It's time to raise some funds to start up the new drilling season and you look at your share price. Dope it's down! Just like one might have to sell stock at an undesirable level at times he does it to pay his bills, same for TUD. Price will never be high enough in the eyes of any company but the big picture is, the price is the price and the prize is more holes for more gold. This isn't anything new to them and they are more than aware of the situation and the games that are played. Let's say there are a few interested parties that want to take advantage of a PP at these levels. 
 
Now what if one of the interested parties are the ones that have been attacking the stock? Big picture, beat a good stock down, short heavily then follow it up with a PP and voila, more than enough stock to cover your short. Magic! Happens a lot more than one might think. 
 
But what if you then have someone that has decades of experience, that knows an opportunity when he sees it. How do you think TUO acquired so many properties? He also happens to be your partner and he shows up and says, I'll take that deal and he beats the attackers to the prize. 
 
How far off could I be? Well lets see. PP gets announced and IMMEDIATELY everyone saw a substantial increase in negative posts with several being new members. So take a moment and think about this scenario
 
What if the attackers that first succeeded in driving the price moved on to the second phase of PP only to be beaten to it by TUO because TUO saw an opening leaving the attackers out of all those shares they desperately needed to cover? Could the attackers have been "too" successful that TUO saw right through it? Now wouldn't that make someone rather upset? And once you get over yourself you still have to deal with that short position wouldn't you? Right before a new drill season that was also funded by a partner which speaks volumes to one's confidence in the project. Just a thought. 
 
Did you also see how little volume was needed to give AMK a pop on Friday? Roughly a 2K trade that moved the MCAP by over 7M. Could become much more problematic if in fact a larger position needs covering.  
 
Let's address the good news = price down debate. 
 
 
How interesting is it that the issues seen on BB line up so well? 
 
So what is really going on here? 
 
Rather simple IMHO. 
 
Right is Left and Left is Right but Up is Down yet Down is UP 
 
 
 
 
All the Best!
