I've added a third trait of conspiratorial thinking to the @crankyuncles game: Nefarious intent. A red flag of a baseless conspiracy theory are evil villains, whether it be scheming scientists, lizard people, or blood-drinking Satanic Hollywood elites http://crankyuncle.com/game 
On a personal note, I very much enjoyed digging up an old cartoon from an old comic strip (Terrible Twos) to illustrate that there is one real global conspiracy (but not with nefarious intent): all the world's parents conspiring to deceive their kids about the existence of Santa.
The 7 traits of conspiratorial thinking - Contradictory, Overriding suspicion, Nefarious intent, Persecuted victim, Immunity to evidence, & Reinterpreting randomness - come from the Conspiracy Theory Handbook written by @stworg & myself http://sks.to/conspiracy 
I will be adding 4 more conspiratorial traits over the next 4 weeks. To get notified when new content & conspiratorial traits get added to the @crankyuncles game, sign up for updates at http://sks.to/crankynews
