Prank
- A mischievous trick or practical joke.
So YOGS didn't really exploit Archimonde, and YOGS aren't really a dubious bunch of cheaters. But what are they then, with Maeris in the guild high seat?
Are they really just pranksters out to play the fool on everyone but themselves?
Is it annoying when every sentence ends in a question mark?
Well, truth be told. It's great fun when someone manages to pull a good prank. It's less fun when a prank is made into some personal vendettaing. In any case - the prankers where themselves pranked and fell for my prank.
Is it trolling? Not really. Was my joke fun? For some, and for others it wasn't. Does it make me look bad? Some people would probably say that, others will think it was a perfect finale to the YOGS prank.
In any case, I think everyone can agree on that the YOGS thread was pure genious and really good. It reached it's maximum with the Raids and Dungeons post, even if that got deleted. And my post here, was merely directed at making some fall for the same kind of prank.
*wink* Havelock.

Of course, YOGS will find that their listed kill of Archimonde is once again visible to the world and their PvE progress can be seen amongst the rest of the raiding guilds on The Venture Co.
It's been a great and funny week with lots of bans (lol Maeris), locked and deleted threads. Maybe next time we should inform Blizzard prior so we can all have some fun without getting all "blued" up.
Cheers everyone. |
| Nothing like denying Aeriai exploiting Vashj? | | Why's everyone saying it was a prank? I was serious about those yog scum exploiting :( | | Questioning my motivation for benevolently updating your PvE progression is certainly interesting, but hardly backed by any kinds of insight nor shreds of facts.
True enough I use the news as a "personal" blog - but that's intended for TVC players only anyway. If you don't like my blog (when I get around to write them) don't read them. Easy as.
The rest of the servers don't see my blog anyway. They just see your guild name and how far you are.
And yea, please link me up. I didn't get angry. In fact the only thing I did was hating Havelock for backtalking us in a way that may sound as our intention was to exploit an encounter. Havelock himself was there and didn't object to finally dealing with a bugged Vashj. So who the real hypocrite is, I'll leave to you. | | It wasn't any backtalking. I simply said how it happened. And no, I didn't have any objections and I never said I wasn't there. In fact, I believe it was quite obvious I was there with you. My point remains. You are the who is a hypocrit for trying to deny it.
ima out
bye | | Never denied anything - I've been quite open about how it happened. So yea we could've resetted the instance and soft-resetted it - but so could YOGS.
But glad to see you go Havelock, please don't get hit by the door on your way out. | | "Fact is, I didn't post at all in that thread before it was revealed to be a joke, when I posted it was because I was suddenly being accused of being a hypocrite"
You posted stuff on your guild's shout box. You completely believed the story we fed you and now you're trying to deny it as part of your 'prank'. It just doesn't work when everyone else realises what's going on and the joke is on you. | | You could soft reset Vashj because you know what was going on, but we had no chance to do that since we found out he is bugged 30 seconds before he died, and as you know, you can't wipe the raid during that phase.
Just a FYI | | "Questioning my motivation for benevolently updating your PvE progression is certainly interesting, but hardly backed by any kinds of insight nor shreds of facts."
There is actually little insight needed. As many people have said you take 3 paragraphs to say the same as others can say more eliquently in one sentence. You are well known for selfagrandising and the language you use just reads as some one despirate to impress. The opinions i have just expressed are not just my own thoughts, but the thoughts shared by most of the server. There is a reason why people troll you, and find you annoying and out of touch.
You can claim we don't know your motivations and yet your motivations are on constant display for all to see. You cannot fool all of the people all of the time and you are certainly not capable of fooling any of the people any of the time.

QFT
| | Kaybee: Find me a quote where I state I did NOT believe your joke? I was mildly uninterested in your post until I was suddenly personally called a hypocrite. Whether you've actually found a way to exploit Archimonde or not really couldn't matter less to me.
Why would I deny believing your post? Like everyone else, I figured there was the odd chance of it being a joke and the even chance of it being real. But I never said I didn't or did believe the joke. That is all in your fantasy. | | Redliub: I can also claim that most of the server think you stupid. Do I prove a point by saying that. No. Does me saying that makes it true? Probably not.
Your statement is just completely void. You are pumping yourself up to be some uber spokesperson of the anonymous internet and server when in fact the only ones talking is you, your guild and the cronies on the IRC channel who bothers to write in a channel that's nothing but an extension of YOGS gchat + boyscout choir YOGS wannabes. | | Malicious: So now you are trying to justify your "exploit" of Archimonde, when I cannot defend our "exploit" of Vashj. Truth told, yes we could've been softresetting and do it all over - or we could do as we did, just reset the encounter 3 times without success and say fuck it and go.
It rests in the eye of the beholder. I'm not saying our second kill of Vashj was legit or anything. Of course it wasn't. Your kill(s) of Archimonde wasn't legit and done by the book either. | | Why bother linking to a quote where you quite clearly state you believed it, when you'll just say you were going along with the joke, like you are now?
Besides, you already deleted a lot of your posts in the original thread, it would seem. | | I deleted nothing Jethornë. And where is that link? | | "You are pumping yourself up to be some uber spokesperson of the anonymous internet and server "
The ironey of this is magnificent...thanks it was priceless. | | Hard to see how that can be ironic.
I hardly ever claimed to be anything the like. Once again, Redliub you are in deeper water than you can thread. | | Whether you think you're carrying out some elaborate countertroll or not, you should just shut up either way because you're making yourself look stupid. | | Tanj has it occured to you that everyone else thinks you are really really stupid and pathetic? I am sure people in your guild don't tell you this to your face, but behind your back people really giggle at this stuff.
They are afraid of calling you out on it since apparently last time someone poked fun at you you went on a 10 minute yelling spree about how people shouldn't undermine your authority? Is this true? | | "Hard to see how that can be ironic."
If you are not even aware of your own personality and how you are perceived then that is not really my problem. But that still does not stop your statement from being Ironic and very funny.
| | Posting in a legendary thread | | Redliub, how people percieve me or what they make me out to be is hardly something I can take responsibility for. Ergo, what I claim to be and what you think me to be is clearly two opposites in this case (and many more). | | Maeris, has it occured to you that I and many others think that you especially and YOGS are really stupid and pathetic, even retarded? | | The difference being that YOGS take delight in being called the scum of the server, while people nerdrage over them, while most people see the humourous side of their antics. You, on the other hand, seem in denial about your status on this realm, which many people also find amusing, except not for your benefit. | | Hehehehe, Tanj is the laughing stock of the server. | | In denial... or just not caring what my "enemies" think of me? It's amusing how people constantly secondguess my motivations for writing and replying. Some people must feel incredibly threatened by being countertrolled for having this obsession with me. | | "Hehehehe, Tanj is the laughing stock of the server."
/shrug
Getting a bit boring talking in circles with someone who's so desperate to trap me that he springs his trap prematurely and then claim it trapped me. | | If you didn't care what your enemies thought of you, you'd find no point in this idiotic blog of yours, else you could just post it on your own guild's website.
If you didn't care what your enemies thought of you, you wouldn't find a need to constantly have the last say in every argument, no matter how inane.
If you didn't care what your enemies thought of you, you'd admit that you were wrong in the first place instead of trying to convince everyone this whole thing was your prank.
And speaking of talking in circles, is that not what you have been doing constantly for the last two days? I'd call this ironic, but judging from your earlier posts, you have absolutely no idea what irony even is. | | Damn Jethornë you should take a reading lesson or two. I wrote that I don't care about what my "enemies" thought/think of me.
Whether my prank post can be substituted as "caring" in your universe is an intrinsic semantic discussion and hardly something I've touched or commented on.
Anyhow, present time the attacks on me are getting too desperate now, don't you think? Isn't it about time to change the subject and let something so outdebated that you even start to use imaginary arguments rest? | | The reason everyone is laughing at you is that you quite clearly fell for a prank, and instead of graciously admitting and laughing at it, you are now pretending that you falling for the joke was part of a big plan, and making a fake entry and deleting it somehow is a really clver prank.
You can ask your own guildmates that as soon as you made that entry, everyone predicted that you'd delete it, and you'd claim you were a puppetmaster from the start.
It is exceedingly transparent and pathetic, but watching you dig yourself further and further is highly amusing, so I am not complaining :) The private comments I am getting from your guildmates are highly amusing, you need to take yourself a lot less seriously - can you deny the incident where you yelled nonstop after people 'undermined your authority'? | | Alright, Maeris, this is getting extremely stupid now.
1) Quite clearly fell for a prank. Says you. Wauw. Really that makes everyone believe it. Sure your prank was credible and all - getting Jethornë to post it boosted it's credibility of course. But your sprang the prank before I even had a chance to comment on it (not that I would have in any case).
2) Making a fake entry? What fake entry are you babbling about? If you are referring to my YOGS as Frauds post that isn't even deleted. It's directly LINKED in the above post, GOD you must be incredibly stupid.
3) I'm happy that you can have a cordial relationship with my guildmates. I don't dictate what idiot friends they can keep around. If they want to associate with some moron like you fine with me.
When does it sink into your tiny brain that I kinda got your message the first time, that you think I'm retarded and stupid. That much is quite clear. The feelings are mutual I can assure you. | | Can someone embed "master of puppets" onto this page somehow | | I'm guessing the "But I have the brain of a 6 year old" was a kaybee post but the rest must have just been good ol aeriai people | | Alright that was possibly the most retarded show of YOGS stupidity ever. Writing a series of stupid comments under fake names and blaming it on me (and my "master plan").
For your sake I hope not too many people read that bullshit. I deleted it now so your shame is hidden forever. | | so wait? those walls of text were actually you? | |
