Session Ident: Merc ([redacted])
<Merc> Ah, there we are.
<Merc> Ricket my dear boy,
<Merc> that was NOT an actual ban.
<Merc> Nor did I intend for it to be.
<Ricket> I don’t need your condescending bull****, Merc.
<Merc> But…. I think we ought sit down and be civil for a few moments. Log in to see images!
<Merc> Condescending or not, it was the truth.
<Ricket> Ride that ****ing high horse off into the sunset.
<Merc> The insults are neither necessary nor of any value.
<Merc> Which is precisely why I’ve asked you here.
<Merc> And… pompous tone or not…
<Merc> this IS an actual effort to sit down and… well, let’s say make a new start.
<Ricket> Uh huh. Not interested. Log in to see images!
<Merc> And why is that… if I might ask?
<Ricket> I can do without an bumhole like you.
<Merc> Lol. Were that true, I wouldnt have tied you in dom medals in less than 1month worth of dom rounds despite having only 1player account.
<Merc> You might alos notice that I’ve thus far restrained myself from profanity.
<Merc> The pomposity of the tone might be a bit of a nuisance,
<Merc> and I regret that—
<Merc> but, it’s my plain-faced nature.
<Ricket> Err. You’re erroneously bumuming I give a **** about dom medals.
<Ricket> Just because I have a lot, doesn’t mean I care.
<Merc> Indeed. Then we’ve already unearhted a similarity of sorts.
<Merc> I want to show you something. Please wait.
<Merc> http://img383.imageshack.us/img383/7407/wechallsayssuckitdown2.png
<Merc> incidentlaly, i cleared up with bt to let you in. for the moment.
<Merc> it was the least i owed since i was taking a few minutes.
<Ricket> [01:01:24] <Ricket> Err. You’re erroneously bumuming I give a **** about dom medals.
<Merc> take a closer look.
<Merc> in that bracket…
<Merc> i won ZERO medals.
<Ricket> Uhh, way to suck despite having so many teammates in the bracket, I guess?
<Merc> However… it was… without question the moment that i felt proudest of ever since i started spearheading my clan to compete in FWZ DOMination on a serious basis.
<Merc> No.
<Ricket> Cool.
<Ricket> Just one thing though
<Ricket> [01:01:24] <Ricket> Err. You’re erroneously bumuming I give a **** about dom medals.
<Merc> The reason I was proud of it was because what I won from that FAR EXCEEDED anything like DOM medals.
<Merc> THAT is what i’m trying to tell you.
<Ricket> ...’kay?
<Merc> Ricket, FWZ DOM… ice cream scoops… e-peen.. medals…
<Merc> those are bull**** and we know it.
<Merc> Some are more infomred of this than others,
<Merc> while others are convinced that they MEAN SOMETHNG.
<Merc> But… there is something in DOM that is VERY meaningful.
<Merc> Frankly, I almost feel cheated I hadnt realized it sooner.
<Merc> The beauty of FWZ DOM is that from it,
<Merc> it teaches EXTREMELY REAL real-life skills.
<Merc> Most notably of course… leadership, and organizational management.
<Merc> When I command my clan raids… it’s essentially a task tantamount to herding tasks.
<Merc> coordinating 13guys simaeltaneously is difficult in general.
<Merc> But on FWZ…. it’s particularly tricky.
<Merc> As you might have noticed… the majority of the player-userbase for FWZ is…
<Merc> well, not particularly sound from the psychological standpoint.
<Merc> They are extremely diverse, and in many ways, represent the lowest-tier of taste on the Internet.
<Merc> 4chan rejects — and if not — something only one or two tiers above it.
<Merc> Ergo… being able to make them join in common cause…
<Merc> to work like a team… even if only for something as petty as gamer medals,
<Merc> it a REAL accomplishment.
<Merc> in a way… being able to get guys to come together for somethign petty is more of an achievement than getting htem to come together for somethign TRULY meaningful like money.
<Merc> At least with money loyalty and cooperation is bumured;
<Merc> in a Quake TeamDeathmatch or a FWZ scoop-raid… mmm. not so much.
<Merc> Ricket, do you understand why I’m telling you this ?
06* Merc apologizes for the long-windedness of speech
<Ricket> ‘cause you’re mad gay, dawg?
06* Merc facepalms
<Ricket> For everyone that isn’t a ****ing hermit, teamwork and group goals are pretty early lessons.
<Merc> Considering that your response could have been 10times more venomous,
<Merc> I’ll take that as progress.
<Ricket> I can up the venom if you’d like.
<Merc> Ricket, the reason I told you this was to show we might have something in common after all.
<Ricket> 6 words for you, Merc: Dawg, you gay. You gay dawg.
<Merc> (I’d rather you held back on that.)
<Merc> I was actually surprised to ehar that you didnt care much for the DOM medals,
<Ricket> Stop having a ****ing hardon for WeChall, Forumwarz, and me. I don’t care about you.
<Merc> but, in so hearing,
<Merc> my respect did increase.
<Merc> Well then let’s cut to the chase.
<Merc> Whatever our past differences… I’m more than willing to put them aside.
<Merc> Allow me my right to be a little silly on FWZ what with my lolcats and stupid memes,
<Merc> and please refrain from the unprovoked insults.
<Merc> Ricket: Can we agree to that?
<Ricket> Considering you get bumhurt to the point of…~30 minute long-winded IMs, no.
<Ricket> Because this is hilarious.
<Merc> lol
<Merc> quite the contrary,
<Merc> 30 minute long-winded IMs is the standard affair with me.
<Merc> whether… i’m upset… enthusiastic… or something else altogether.
<Merc> Let me ask you this: what is holding you back from the agreement ?
<Merc> Is it pride?
<Ricket> ...yes Merc, it’s pride. You’ve seen right through me with your armchair psychology.
<Merc> lol
<Merc> so you dont care about dom medals,
<Merc> but pride does matter to you?
<Ricket> Uhh, not in a Forumwarz context.
<Merc> Now whose spewing condescending bull**** ?
<Ricket> Good sir, I am in it for the lulz.
<Merc> That’s the standard reason I offer when asked what keeps me on FWZ….
<Merc> Ok… Lulz in what way ?
<Merc> I havent seen you play in incit nor talk int eh chatroom…
<Ricket> Lulz in the “stream of never ending bumhurt” way, at the moment.
<Merc> I havent seen you post funny artwork you made for a quick laugh…
<Merc> But I have seen you bumemble an ARMY of alternates by your own admission,
<Merc> hurl insults on a whim when it comes to gameplay,
<Merc> and pwn 2000forums on 1account.
<Merc> Hmm. How so?
<Ricket> ...is there any portion of Forumwarz that isn’t composed entirely of bumhurt?
<Merc> Times change. It’s not just a trolling website anymore.
<Ricket> I don’t think we’re talking about the same site.
<Merc> In fact it might never have been.
<Merc> The reason I’m on it and why I support the site is in tribute to indie game dvelopment.
<Merc> The “garage” game developer model was thought to be on the verge fo extinction; FWZ is living proof this might not be so
<Ricket> Okay, really now. You take this **** way too seriously.
<Merc> lol. while i do appreciate you trying to say you’re “in it for the lulz”,
<Merc> your… past efforts at animosity… suggest otherwise.
<Merc> The attacks were perosnal. Not opportunisitc.
<Ricket> Uh huh. And what do personal attacks suggest?
<Merc> And if you WERE a troll… you’d just stick to IDC like SMEC and try to screw with the heads of anyone that came by.
<Ricket> Are you really trying to psychoanalyze someone’s trolling?
<Merc> What I’m saying is that the case you’re making for being in it for “troll lulz” doesnt seem to quite muster with other evidence out there.
<Merc> In the interest of time, I’ll just cut back to the chase again.
<Merc> Can we agree to no further unprovoked attacks? I ask you this because despite what your’e saying— and I’m not sure if it’s entirely volunarily what you’re saying — I don’t think you’re an ordinary troll like SMEC.
06* Ricket sighs.
<Merc> You DID come here with the thought of some sort of DOM-related agreement in mind, after all.
<Merc> Not exactly a page out of SMEC’s book.
<Ricket> I’m not that naive.
<Merc> I never said that you were.
<Ricket> You’ve got enough bodies in the bracket to get almost anything.
<Ricket> You’re not going to cut a deal, you’re not in a position to need one.
<Merc> Quite the contrary…
<Merc> that’s PRECEISELY what I’m prepared to do.
<Merc> You can quote me for HELLTOXX if you want.
<Merc> I won’t be an active party to the negotation of any agreement —
<Merc> but I will hold no reservations in upholding it or promising not to obstruct it if you agree to my request.
06* Merc imagines that Quan would be the best person to talk to regarding such a thing
<Merc> I’ll even go one step further…
<Merc> IF you agree to my request,
<Merc> and your conduct over the not-to-distant future reflects it,
<Merc> I’ll even agree to presenting the case to the other lads that you deserve a chance to enter into an agreement of some sort.
<Merc> Of course, by that point, it’ll go without saying that I’ll encourage you to sit at the table and make the argument for yourself.
<Merc> (argument for your case)
<Merc> In other words… even if the other lads try to shoot down your requests to negotatie or entreaty… I’ll do what I can to tell them you deserve a fair chance.
<Merc> And yes, I apologize if what I’m asking seems to be ULTRA LAME to you. But, you need to recall what profession I yield from.
<Merc> Negotiation… for the very SAKE of negotiation… is a side-dish we eat up happily alongside our bread-and-bumer.
<Ricket> Okay, I’m going to paste this one more time.
<Ricket> [01:01:24] <Ricket> Err. You’re erroneously bumuming I give a **** about dom medals.
<Merc> “Ricket You’ve got enough bodies in the bracket to get almost anything. ”
<Merc> seems liek you do care about medals.
<Merc> I’m not asking the earth and the moon of you, Ricket.
<Merc> Simply agree to the request — in spite of the super-gay-lameness of it — and we can both be on our way.
<Ricket> Merc, just because I can understand the situation doesn’t mean I care about all aspects of it.
<Merc> Acknowledged.
<Merc> Now make your decision.
<Merc> For what it’s worth… as regards our differences…
<Merc> I’ll also mention this.
<Merc> While you might look on the past 70min of text as pure nuisance…
<Merc> for guys like me… THIS is what we live for, and THIS is what we enjoy— whether we win or lose.
<Merc> (American) hockey-puck is on your side of the arena, Ricket.
06* Merc goes off to post mudkips on random corners of the internet for a cheap, stupid laugh
<Merc> Ricket: Ping me at your leisure. I’m waiting.
<Merc> Ricket: (incidentally, you’re free to share this conversation. unless you specifically ask otherwise, i was goign to share this to clanmates.)
<Ricket> Go ahead.
<Merc> As you wish.
<Merc> And your decision?
<Ricket> Uhh.
<Ricket> Kill yourself.
<Ricket> A noose is probably the cleanest way.
<Merc> Log in to see images!
<Merc> And you’ll get just as much Vitamin D from milk that came from jugs as bags.
<Merc> If you want me… try the Encyclopedia Dramatica IRC.
<Merc> Later.
