4	* '''Downplayed''': Alice discovers that more than one conspiracy theory is true, but not the ones that contradict each other.
5	* '''Justified''': The various conspiracies have all perfected the art of marginalizing all publications that would expose them, relegating the truth to "conspiracy theories".
6	* '''Inverted''': Conspiracy theories are never true, and they are each revealed as such to anyone who investigates them.
7	* '''Subverted''': Alice, our protagonist, becomes involved with a group of dedicated conspiracy investigators who, despite initially compelling evidence, instead end up proving that all of their hunches are wrong.
8	* '''Double Subverted''': A new piece of evidence is discovered that reveals the previous "conclusive" evidence as an intentional red herring to cover the conspiracies' tracks.

12	* '''Enforced''': The author is very interested in conspiracy theories and wants to draw from his extensive research on them in his writing.
13	* '''Lampshaded''': "These conspiracies must be true. After all, if they weren't, would we be devoting so much time to uncovering them?"
14	* '''Invoked''': Conspiracy theorists are in on the masquerade, intentionally planted by the conspiracies for the purpose of trickling details about them in the form of "theories" so as to promote a climate of uncertainty and paranoia.
15	* '''Exploited''': Conspiracy theorists, knowing they're onto something, contact the shadowy organizations directly, offering to become their allies and/or their puppets in return for their protection.
16	* '''Defied''': The conspiracies work hard to ensure there are no theories spread about them.
17	* '''Discussed''': "These leaked CIA files probably prove that every conspiracy nut's theories are true".
18	* '''Conversed''': "The show's called ''Conspiracies''. Of course, they claim that every conspiracy theory ever is true".

20	* '''Reconstructed''': The various conspiracies are shown to be in a kind of gang war, each trying to one-up the other both by trying to carry out new actions and taking credit for past ones.
21	* '''Played For Laughs''':
22	** The members of conspiratorial organizations are shown to themselves believe in other, grander conspiracies that also turn out to be true, and so on ad absurdum.
23	** It turns out that because of how many conspiracies working at cross-purposes that they exert little-to-no influence on the affairs of the world, since they're too busy countering other moves.
24	* '''Played For Drama''': Alice discovers that she herself has been unwittingly playing to the tune of the conspiracies her whole life without realizing it.
