Not The Hero You Chose

[Grumph]

… but perhaps the Hero you needed.

It once again falls upon me to stand up for what’s right. To heed the call of duty. To defend the defenseless and downtrodden.

15315

Yes. Once again there has opened up a window of unconetested opportunity for Riot to show their true colors.

15316

Will they honor their alliance with Kittens? Or once again succumb to the ways of Greed and Malice?

15317

What’s more: does Riot even have the strength of character to make a public commitment ahead of time? Or will they follow the path of Jutebox and continue in subterfuge and calculated double-speech.

Only time Will tell!

Rated one starkund.

your guild name is called "kittens"

you aren't betas, you're omegas

I don't get why it's even a question. Kittens should get their fair share every time. But, here we are. Does Riot have any honor at all?

[Ennewi]

The hero we needed...to get a dictionary for. It's doublespeak, not double-speech.

[ArbiterBlixen]

Can anyone from Riot confirm that Kittens members will be getting their fair share of free Vulak and Doze?

[Trexller]

You can't get ahead in life by helping others who don't contribute to your own profits.

Riot, stay the course and step harder on those weak furry kittens.

I’m curious what happens first: Grumph honors the bet or earns the server first restraining order.

His ability to completely ignore it while still shit slinging is quite fascinating. I can see why he's a Trump supporter. Is this part of "The Art of the Deal"? Chapter 7: How to welch out on contracts and agreements.

Straiker says out of character: 'you have a deal Salvette. Kiss your toon goodbye'

You're super stupid so let me help you again. Grumph isn't straiker.

Straiker is fucking gone, you can stop talking about him.

[Grumph]

Well in other news:


...Straiker is fucking gone...



"Herp Derp we didn't internet bully Anyone at all!"

If anyone is a RL friend of Straiker - please let him know he's missed. And above all. His life matters.

He didn't deserve to be the avatar of so many rotten sad people's hateful scorn.

[nostalgiaquest]

My belief that Grump-O is Straiker stems from a previous thread. Grumpy was doing his normal trollie thing, and someone mentioned this bet. I chimed in with

Wait, Grumph is the dipshit who made the bet to delete his character? That makes this all way more funny.

to which Drumph responded with



Whoever used to cram you into a locker when you were in school.

I'm sure isn't still bragging to all his friends about how much of a loser you were and how much better than you he was.

That Dude has probably moved on to bigger and better things. Heck I'm sure you have too! Maybe your doing even better right now than that guy is or ever could!

But I get the feeling somethings still gnawing away at you NostalgiaBro.

Maybe there was a lesson for you there, stuffed in that locker, with your baseball cap getting caught on the coat hooks, and your homework lost in the shuffle of the hallway, and your pride bruised even worse than your elbow or your hip.

And maybe that lesson, that very same lesson, is one your still avoiding to this day.

Me, being quite confused by such an unhinged irrational response, came to the following set of possible conclusions: either Gump is Straiker and being overly defensive, orrrrrr he's just, as you put it, super stupid. My guess is that he's both.

Your screenshot proves nothing! Finkle is Einhorn!

Arvan would ghost about 10 times faster than Straiker did

if he only dealt with a hate mob half as big.

That's how tough of a man Arvan is.

when arvan offered to tank a mob for anyone and was asked to tank Vyemm, he delivered. Quite unlike a certain-still-not-deleted monk.

If Grumph isn't Straiker that is somehow even more pathetic.

That would mean he was so triggered by the new ring war agreement he evolved into this unhinged meme-creeper. Although, knowing a snowflake is losing his mind every time people roll dice in GD does warm my heart a bit.

The elephant in the room is always the dumb person making noise. That's Grumph. I wouldn't be posting into a void baiting him to engage...he's trademarked that technique long ago.

Maybe I should keep making new pseudonyms so I can shill for my buddies? Grats on your second post.

If it's stated that something else makes more sense than your argument, that still implies your argument makes at least some sense. I doubt you will watch the link above, even the opening portion about subjectivity versus objectivity, but there's always a chance.

[Ennewi]

But since your newest argument is that your old arguments are actually cogent and nuanced and that the average reader couldn't hope to understand their underlying message or intent...

"Herp Derp we didn't internet bully Anyone at all!"

He didn't deserve to be the avatar of so many rotten sad people's hateful scorn.

Exactly how many threads were started by these "sad, scornful people" dedicated to Straiker? Contrast that with your Jutebox threads.

Tone of conceit/contempt. Use of alliteration. Very V For Vendetta. You aren't getting credit for sloppy forum roleplay though. To copy the very actions of people you claim are in the wrong, in demanding that someone honor something, is to embody the traits of a villain or at best an antihero. Yet you do this as a third party, having no affiliation with those you suggest deserve better, which is of course disingenuous. Trolling, the obvious goal is to cause both guilds to squabble until they eventually oppose one another, then one or both can be vanquished.

Yes. Once again there has opened up a window of unconetested opportunity

Once again you use once again.

Or will they follow the path of Jutebox and continue in subterfuge and calculated double-speech.

"Calculated doublespeak" is redundant. By definition doublespeak is deliberately ambiguous and/or distortive.

The rules are simple:

1) the nominee must be from a competing guild - one who actually contests the same content your guild targets - and not one you regularly team with.

2) no back handed compliments. Let’s be uplifting for a moment here!!

So here goes!

I’d like to nominate Apathe from Kittens.

Comments like this. Along with other classics like “Faydrdar was up”. Are great in a way that’s hard to explain - Bravo Good Sir!


Honorable mention for me goes to another commenter. I couldn’t find the post. So I can’t narrow down the poster. But someone responded to a thread I started with

“Thanks for crashing Bitcoin Jutebox!”

Got me good! Got me real good!

Lol I love that you say recognize good plays then you immediately provide 2 examples of forum posts (forum posts which you could argue also constitute back handed compliments).

Don't piss on my back and tell me its raining.

An internet hate mob has griefed a fellow player off the server. And all you spiteful little heel nippers can come back with is "yuck yuck you're the real bully Grumph!"

Straiker committed a crime of passion. Fair enough. But calculated pre-meditated misdeeds are different. In a bad way.

I'm surprised your midling college didn't cover this sort of nuance before they gave you your minor in philosophy or whatever.

There's no evidence he even frequents the forums let alone the cesspool of RnF. You say he was bullied off the server but you have zero evidence of that. Which is actually pretty on par with most VQ accusations. There is however a ton of evidence of your white knighting for him and stalking jutebox harder than beef stalks cases of bud light at his local 7/11.

I can sew why Riot doesn't want to share their loot with Kittens. They brought 13 to Aary compared to Riots 65? Took the Amulet which is best in slot for int casters and put it on a Warrior to which it is complete garbage.

Thats a major yikes but at least Kittens has grown some spine and are demanding their fair share of loot now, solid work there!

[MaCtastic]

You're super stupid so let me help you again. Grumph isn't straiker.

Straiker is fucking gone, you can stop talking about him.

I guess Straiker didn’t wear his mask at the Capitol building. He might be back in a few years once he’s parole eligible. This group remembers everything, I’m sure we’ll remind him when he returns.

<Internat'l Hate Mob> has a nice ring to it. An all dark elf guild, followers of Innoruuk. DMO missed its true calling. <Spiteful Little Heel Nippers> would be the opposing guild, comprised of gnomes, halflings, and dwarves.

Straiker committed a crime of passion. Fair enough. But calculated pre-meditated misdeeds are different. In a bad way.

A crime of passion refers to an act of violence. So you're saying Straiker was in D.C. on January 6th? Cheeto powder, treason, and plot!

I'm surprised your midling college didn't cover this sort of nuance before they gave you your minor in philosophy or whatever.

Middling. There's more than one D, similar to your report cards once EQ came out. My non-Ivy League University only covered the nuance of spelling before they gave me my minor in English.
