"Look for severe thread disturbances associated with flames. Our troll wasn't born a troll, Sleestack. He was made one through years of systematic abuse. Our troll hates his own identity, you see, and he thinks that makes him a jerk-hacker. But his posting is a thousand times more savage and more terrifying."

"Flames! Flames were the issue in those days. I can assure you, gentlemen, there is nothing quite so grotesque as the meeting of a poster with a ban; or an entire thread banned while replying. That was the Mod's resolution of that particular issue and I have seen nothing in its behavior since then that would persuade me that it has gained either in wisdom, common sense, or humanity."

"Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this Hickman for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad forumite. Not like going down the City Life forum chasin' n00bz and jerk hackers. This Hickman, swallow you whole. Little shakin', little tenderizin', an' down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your posters, put all your threads on a replyin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand rep points, chief. I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and flame him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to keep from get'in banned, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be lurking the whole time. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's just too many OP's in this forum. Ten thousand rep points for me by myself. For that you get the head, the pants, the whole damn Hickman ."

"I'm on my keyboard for about ten minutes before the trolls kick it out from under me. They don't ask me any questions. They just keep replying the crap out of me and waving flames in my face. And I keep spitting words all over it and laughing at how many fresh copies they come up with. Then along comes this worm assistant n00b who turns the language filter off and says if I don't reply, they'll flame my mom. I break his avatar in three places and I reply to it."

Him: "You believe a man can change his post"?

Me: "I think a man does what he can, until his post is revealed".

Do not let us speak of darker days; let us speak rather of sterner days. These are not dark days: these are great days - the greatest days our forum has ever lived.

"Troll is no braver, no stronger than I am! I could kill him with my mouse; I shall not, easy as it would be. This fiend is a bold and famous flamer, but his words and punctuation... beating at my keyboard, would be helpless. I will meet him with my hands empty--unless his heart fails him, seeing a poster waiting deviceless, unafraid. Let Mod in His wisdom extend His ban where He wills, reward whom he chooses!"

Me: "There's been speculation that I was involved in the events that occurred on the Comic book and Hero/Villain Culture forum and This is my thread..."

She: "I'm sorry, but do you honestly expect us to believe that that was a avatar in a suit that conveniently appeared, despite the fact that..."

Me: "I know that it's confusing. It is one thing to question the official story, and another thing entirely to make wild accusations, or insinuate that I'm a poster".

She: "I never said you were a poster".

Me: "Didn't?"

She: "Mmm-mmm".

Me: "Well, good, because that would be outlandish and, uh, fantastic. I'm just not the poster type. Clearly. With this laundry list of grammatical defects, all the mistakes I've made, largely public. "

Him: "Just stick to the cards, man".

Me: "Yeah, okay".

Me: "[holds up his notes and pauses] The truth is..."

Me: "[puts cards down] I am ebon3".

"You post'n to me?"

also

“You call that a post? That’s not a post. This is a post”

and

“I do wish we could post longer, but I’m having an old troll for dinner”

as well as

"I took the forum's white knight and I brought him down to our level. It wasn't hard. You see, trolling, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little post!

and maybe

"Do not meddle in the affairs of the cartel, for they are subtle and quick to anger."

finally

"How shall a poster judge what to do in such times?"

"As they ever have judged," said sleestack. "Good and ill have not changed since yesteryear; nor are they one thing among n00bz and smacktards, and another among posters. It is a poster's part to discern them, as much in the forums as in his own thread."

Going to FF and hoping from roof top to roof top smashing Crey snipers. I really wish there was a badge for it

I spent probably a level or two doing that as an up and coming Blaster, it was certainly my favorite way to clean out debt in between missions

[QUOTE=SpittingTrashcan;2879216]If it is cooperative, it is "why is my villain helping save the world"[\QUOTE]

If the incarnate content presents a big enough threat in the story I can't see where most villains would have a problem with it. A villain would have to be pretty dern nihilistic to go;

"pfft... whatever, I'm a villain, I'm not supposed to save the place where I store all my crap from Marvin the Martian just because this mudball blocks his view of Venus"

or

"Whatever, I'm not going to help even if it totally screws my plan to turn every living thing on the earth into a blood sacrifice so I can ascend to godhood. So whatever... Just go ahead and harvest everybody into a living immortal battery to empower your uni-mind computer".

Remeber, any enemy of an enemy is an ally (jeez, how is that for circular logic )
