Hilarious Internet Encounters
 

I was screwing around on Deviant Art and found a few pictures, tossed up a few comments, then went ahead and went to bed.

Turns out one guy didn't like the fact that I told him his pictures looked very sketch-art-ish and needed polishing, so we got into a bit of an argument where I told him to stop being a dumbass and accept critique when it is given. A few days went by of nothing, then this wonderful event happened. He sent me this:

I...I didn't have any words. I was laughing too hard.


Another favorite of mine: Back when Star Wars Galaxies was fun, I played an Imperial smuggler and pistoleer. While hanging out in the cantina, a rebel that is practically infamous for being a whiny 14 year old jackass comes in and starts trashing all of us Imperials. Nobody even gives a shit about him but I stand up and I go all Roleplay on his face, defending my mighty Empire.

We argue in absolutely comical, in-character versus little kid ways, before I challenge him to a fight. We go outside, and the entire cantina follows us out.

I'm wearing a white shirt, slacks, and a large black coat. He pulls out his heavy flamethrower and puts on full Mandalorian battle armor, and challenges me to a duel.

I summon my Imperial AT-ST walker, and confirm the duel.

The fight was three actions - me shooting him in the crotch with my pistol (A specific Smuggler skill that I trained in), him hitting the ground (what the Cheap Shot skill does), and the AT-ST shooting him once. He died. And quickly.

Wait wait wait, back up here.... Star Wars Galaxies was fun...? I mean, when did this magical period of time occur? 'Cause I had it right near the start, and I can't recall it ever being associated with fun.

That DA encounter sounds pretty hilarious though. Personally, I usually don't carry internet debates on longer than a post or two. I don't really have the stamina to be in a pissing contest for that long, and I figure people are gonna infer what they were gonna infer anyway.

Just earlier today I actually broke my usual rule and carried on a debate for a little while. It ended when the other poster told me I was making up facts based on something he heard from a friend (in spite of the fact that I had sourced or offered to source almost every statement I made). Actually, I think he just checked wiki, but whatever. So that's when I decided I was done there. Yeah I could sit there and keep going until someone gets mad enough to get banned, but once I'm not actually gaining anything from the discussion, it seems kind of pointless.

My MSN name was Ryong, The Seeker of Truth for quite a while. It's a long story of why I was like that, but long story short I was trying to understand things. Anyway, I had a friend that randomly messaged me and started to talk about it. It was the guy's uncle, who used his MSN to talk to other family members when he went to his house. What happened after that, for at least a hour, was a discussion involving the fact that we "can't prove that we exist" and "how do you know the universe is there?". His nephew has been blocked out from my MSN contact list.

NAZI'S WERE BAD BAD PEOPLE.

....Excuse me, I halfta go STAB SOMEBODY.

Funny story, I spent over six years in one prolonged Internet argument, once. There was a number of people all arguing that I was, variously, a waste of life, a failure, a shrimp farmer, a homosexual (oh, the horror), an attention whore, a generic whore, a deluded mythomaniac, a hypocrite, a drama queen, a pretentious pseudo-intellectual, a violation of natural law, a retard, a criminally stupid retard and a few more colorful things. Naturally, I argued that they were mistaken, which prompted more counter-arguments re. my grammar, sexual proclivities, hygiene, career prospects, face, mother and uncool inability to not care about things.

In the end it turned out what they actually wanted to say was that I was annoying. I was like, couldn't you have said that five years ago?

YTMND version.

The guy did a sequel!

Bonus: A tired, old gamer expresses his feelings for FFXIII on 360 and Amir0x trolls PS3 owners.

So far, RT's encounter wins by a long shot. Even made me laugh!

Then the joker won!!

...anyways.

once i was caught in a debate over anime, a few years ago. It was about Saint seiya and the Golden Saints. Since each gold saint represents a zodiac symbol, debates were emminent, everyone wanted to have the "Best one".

People got caught in a heated debate that involved creating ghost accounts, fighting, creation of "clans", IP searching, name calling (duh) and at one point... fanfiction about those involved (including a little erotica)

People were discussing over a year and a half about who was stronger, the Gemini saint, the Virgo saint or the Sargitarius saint. Analyzing (Over-Analyzing) evey single frame of video and line of text that there has ever had any connection to Saint seiya (even filler).

Just one day it hit me "What the hell am i doing...?" and i walked away... a year later i went back to check how it ended... it didnt.

I thought it was kinda funny and clever.

RT: AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGG.

Here's another one of mine.
