 **Left untreated, //Cloud Strife Syndrome// is usually fatal**, as the patient's imagination increasingly runs into conflict with the real world and whatever remains of their support network. Employers will usually have no tolerance for the patient's internet life taking priority over their responsibilities, and eventually fire them. The patient's [[ed>Unwarranted_Self-Importance|unwarranted self-importance]] will eventually become so insufferable that even their own audience will flee. At the end, the patient will only be surrounded by sycophantic parasites, encouraging all of his/her delusions & vices, until eventually they unceremoniously die by misadventure. **Left untreated, //Cloud Strife Syndrome// is usually fatal**, as the patient's imagination increasingly runs into conflict with the real world and whatever remains of their support network.

-A minor percentage of patients //(less than 1%)// have what is known as //**High-Functioning Cloud Strife Syndrome**//, where they are still able to maintain a stable career & personal life. This rarity is usually because of mysterious financial benefactors that shield them from the [[hazards:blowback|blowback]] of their actions, and **is not** an indicator of any kind of //"hope"// for those suffering from the disease.+A minor percentage of patients //(less than 1%)// have what is known as //**High-Functioning Cloud Strife Syndrome**//, where they are still able to maintain a stable career & personal life.

-Foreshadowing the modern internet is the tale of **Binjamin Wilkomirski**, a Swiss man who wrote a book about growing up in Auschwitz, despite not having lived in Poland. This book, //"Fragments: Memories of a Wartime Childhood"// won **The National Jewish Book Award for Autobiography/Memoir** in 1996, alongside several other awards, before being exposed as a fraud //(and somehow even continued to win awards after being exposed as a fraud)//. He was studied by a historical commission afterwards, who came to the conclusion that actual memories of childhood trauma in Switzerland had somehow been affixed to the Polish Front. The condition named in his honor - //"Wilkomirski Syndrome"// - is essentially the pre-internet version of //Cloud Strife Syndrome//.+Foreshadowing the modern web is the tale of **Binjamin Wilkomirski**, a Swiss man who wrote a book about growing up in Auschwitz, despite not having lived in Auschwitz.
