Pineconn is...

...it's like everything I say just bounces off you, isn't it?

D'ya mind if I as how old you are?

That's where you've crossed the line.

You mean his sig.

EDIT:

He's either 15 or 16, since he's in my grade. The latter is more likely. And if he denies it, don't believe him.

You do that, and your life is ruined.

I posted in thread
Then you stole my avatar
SERIOUS BUSINESS

He doesn't give the impression of someone who has a life....

Oh, he didn't just steal my avatar. He also stole my sig. Well, he did, anyway.

Hey - I thought you could only get a custom avatar once you hit 1,000 posts? Has that been changed?

EDIT: Great, I'm being mocked by a 16-year old. It's College all over again. 🙄

heh, thats was pretty funny Pineconn. And regardless of what you tell these people, I know what you really think about all of this.

And theres no point in lying about my age, but nor does it have any validity in this conversation. I can be as mature or as immature as I want to be. Pineconn screws around with me at school, I screw around with him here. You people just happen to be witnessing it happen.

Darth wrote:Hey - I thought you could only get a custom avatar once you hit 1,000 posts? Has that been changed?

Yep. Luckily, you can have a custom title only when you have more than 1000 posts, so at least some of your identity is sustained.

Actually, yeah, I remember that he is indeed 16. I remember singing Feliz Cumpleaños in Spanish a few months ago. His Spanish I name was Chuy, and his Spanish II name is Eduardo. Señora didn't let Lolz retain the name of Chuy because it is the nickname to Jesus in Spanish, and she didn't think Lolz "was up to standard" to that.

I didn't even know it meant Jesus, I just thought it was a cool name.

And i'm going to make a truce with you Pineconn. No more personal stuff here. I'll stop messing with you.

Yeah I just noticed that in pretty much every AGN story I read I die and I'm not very satisfied with these outcomes.

Also WE CANNOT LET DARTH MARSDEN WIN THE PINBALL RACE

Lolz, you started out ok, but when you mess with people and disrespect you're seniors, you alienate yourself, and come off as a jerk.

I'd just like to point out that this is by far the most interesting thing I've read in a while. Not much is as fun as watching a war.*Grabs the popcorn*

Eh, I think I'm done. Depends on whether my pint-sized imitator is too.

Unfortunatly, you couldn't just give up (or stop making remarks towards me, either in post or sig form.) Its war now. Although I don't feel like copying your sig again, so for now, the battle is on hold.

[quote="Darth Marsden"]Don't encourage the little shit, Plissken.[/quote]

Well I still hate anybody who clones others in any way. I mainly meant that at least I have funny/interesting stuff (mainly talking about those stories you wrote) to read. But throughout this entire thread I've usually just been ignoring Pineconn lolz. Sorry if I wasn't really clear.

Oh, come on, Lolz. End the quarrel; continue making your little Wolf game.

And read this.

Most important sections:

Rule 1: NEVER argue with a high-reputation member.
Face it, the easiest way to lose your rep is to jack someone off. The easiest way to jack someone off is to disagree violently with them. If you don't agree with their view, do not post.

Rule 3: ALWAYS argue with a low-reputation member.
No one likes these guys, that's why they have a low reputation. AGN does not want them and AGN will actively try to encourage them to leave. There is no harm done in accelerating this process. Taking sides with them associates you with them and you risk getting negatives just for sticking up for them. However, trolling them can be great fun, and I find that clever insults against a universally hated target will generate more positive feedback than any other type of post. Never miss an opportunity to stick it to these guys.

Rule 8: Apologize for mistakes
If you screw up, admit it. If you insult someone you shouldn't have, apologize. You won't look like a hardcore internet tough guy©, but many people (me included) respect anyone who can admit their failures and humble themselves.

Rule 9: NEVER MAKE ENEMIES EVER
If you make an enemy you are in trouble. In the worst-case scenario, your new enemy is friends with a veteran or staff. Since so many people follow rules 1 and 2, you will be low-rep and the butt of jokes within hours. It is time for rule 8, you need to make a public and humiliating apology. You will still lose some reputation, but it will be a flesh wound rather than a mortal blow.

Rule 10: NEVER leave negative feedback
Particularly if you are a veteran, people can recognize your posting style. Based on the post you vote on and the comments you leave, it can be easy to tell who leaves feedback. Negative feedback makes people angry and if they figure out it was you they will retaliate.

Rule 13: If more than one member says your thread sucks, ABORT!
Once it becomes apparent that the thread is not approved, there is nothing to be gained by defending it. The community wants the thread to die, so give it a peaceful death.

Maybe if you didn't have a 1.4MB image in your signature your bandwidth wouldn't get so hammered?

Just sayin

*edit* Also the only appropriate way to deal with an image leecher is to rename the file, update your own signature, and place some kind of vulgar image in the leeched image's place. One time I noticed some jerk was using a several-megs large animated gif on my site as his forums avatar and so I stole this one image from a Something Awful comic about Scientology and added some text and the results... were not so pleasant [NO CLICK ZONE for at-work crew maybe?]

Atma: I'd already done what you suggested. This was the result:

It was funny for the few minutes it worked. And my Bandwidth isn't that bad, I was just exaggerating. As you do.

Plissken: I didn't mean to be so harsh on you, sorry. I was just a little irritated that some pathetic little teen had nothing better to do then to copy everything I did. I'm over it now. Y'know he actually tried to give me positive rep? Ah, good times.

Wait you mean lolz tried to give you a positive rep? And don't feel bad you weren't really harsh. From reading my last post it did seem like I was encouraging him. >_<

Pineconn_lolz Signature wrote:Well, how about YOU grow up? Its just a forum, stop freaking out.

Just a forum? Just a forum? AGN is far more than "just a forum" for a lot of us here. Don't mess with the crew man.

I -ified him a months ago when he actually made meaningful posts; I'm amazed he is still in the / zone. Well, that was the most exciting thing that happened today.

AGN is a community of 'special friends', who get together and pass the time by sharing news, telling stories and insulting those who aren't as special as us. I don't like it when people threaten the delicately balanced status quo of that.

Seriously now. I'm far more attached to this place then I should be. I thrive on the attention my threads get. I actually care what the people here think. If their views are different from mine, I enjoy discussing the differences we have. I like to bat ideas around with the people here. Hell, I feel all special when someone gives me green rep. The sheer glow around me once I started doing those South Park parodies was so intense my family had to wear shades (not true). I love it here, I really do.

So when some new guy comes along and starts acting like a little 8-year old bully, I get a little anxious. And when said bully starts targeting me, it's as if they've come over to my house, rung the doorbell and just spat in my face when I open the door. I freely admit that I take this place too seriously, I do. But when another member starts imitating my avatar (which, in my opinion, he shouldn't be able to do until he hits the 1,000 post mark) and my signature (which I was planning on changing anyway, but still...), he's not just having a bit of fun, he's taking the piss out of me.

So yeah, I over-reacted, I did some childish things, and I swore (something I don't normally do, as anyone here will attest to). No excuses, no cunning line to get me out of it. I messed up. I fueled this guy's fire by responding to his childish antics. I'll try my damned hardest not to do it again in future.

Now for God's sake, ban his ass and let's move on with our lives. 😛

BTW, don't worry about BAD, I'll for sure be with it all the way. I just need to take a little time off due to all these homework assignments I have due within the next few days.

I find that last sentence especially funny. Someone should edit the pic of Breaker and lightningz and replace that with Lolz. I'm too lazy to do it.

And Lolz, research the part of Brutus!

lol

I'm curious Masamune, what exactly is that supposed to mean?

I'm over it now, and i'm declaring myself an official, respected member of this community...although i'm still going to have to copy everything about you Pineconn.

Seriously, as Pineconn can atest, i'm a nice guy, and one of the last people you would find to be immature. I was just screwing around with Pineconn and took it a bit too far. Although, of course, I can be a bit opinionated at times, and if I ever sound harsh, its because I am 😛

Look, everyone. The retardation stopped because I posted a silly picture. Masa saves the day again!

No, it stopped because I said it did. You guys weren't making this funny anymore. You had to get all serious and stuff...

Oh, and those rules you posted Pineconn? I found them to be a bit immature, ironically. A bit too liberal for my tastes I guess. BUT, thats another argument for another day.

Lolz, I like you. You're better than a lot of the idiots who come around here. But I have to give you two points of advice:
We do take stuff pretty seriously here. When I mean that, I mean not that we don't have a sense of humor, but that we don't have a sense of humor for someone insulting other people. If you get more well known, the insults can seem playfull, but when no one knows about you, it is very dangerous to go around insulting veteran members, by, oh I don't know, stealing their avatars or signatures. This isn't meant to be preachy, like this is how the world should be, but it's how the forum works, and you have to accept that even if you don't like it.

The rules Pineconn layed down are true, but oft misinterperated. For example

Rule 3: ALWAYS argue with a low-reputation member.

does not mean argue with the noobs. It doesn't even mean argue with the guys who have a low rep in the terms of green bars, because a person can be respected and well known, and still have a low "rep". It means argue with those that are either disrespectfull, stupid, mean, or all of the above. If you want to get out of this catagory, participate in discussion. Become known. Above all, show respect for you're fellow posters.

Ok, I lied, I have five pieces of advice. DON'T SINGLE OUT ONE MEMBER FOR YOUR'E JOKE, like you did in this thread at the beginning. If in a course of discussion, the oppertunity arises, maybe you do it(Although at your status, be carefull). But above all, NEVER MAKE A NEW THREAD JUST TO PUT DOWN OR KID AT SOMEONE! Unless they're like that idiot "Remember Me", who you can bet will NEVER be a part of this community.

Just on the internet in general, imitation is frowned upon. I would suggest changing your avatar, and stop pretending to be other members. It pisses them off. And I never swear, as some here can attest, so know the depth of that comment.

Finally, 30 posts isn't a lot. Frankly, re-register with somthing a bit more serious. Chalk this up to a bad day/start, and begin a fresh as someone unknown, but with a bit of work worthy of our respect.

I read your above post. You were just screwing around and it got out of hand. Heck, I've seen it happen before. But please try to recognize the warning signs when a comment could start somthing like this.

EDIT: I just went back and bolded the parts you really should listen to. It will help you a lot.

I'm pretty sure that's not how it works around here.

... Eh. Quite frankly, I think your best plan is to dump the username and reregister with something a bit more "serious." It'd be a pleasure posting with you, particularly if you're not mimicking another member. :blah:

No...no you're not a respected member of this community. GTFO please.

No the retardation keeps going. I just quoted it.

Hah! I wish I could just "declare" myself a respected member of the community.
