She knows she's not a real costumed vigilante, right?
The LJ community for City of Heroes, a MMORPG where you play as a tights-and-capes hero rather than a chainmail-and-swords hero, has burst into flames. Yay!
An idea is hatched for a real-life meetup. As no one immediately steps forward to take control of the planning, people begin to do various things without asking others. On one side we have
aufheben and
virdilak, on the other
tanyad and...everyone else?
TanyaD makes a few suggestions, to which Aufheben agrees, but mentions something about letting Lighthouse, the Community Relations Manager for the game, know about it. Big mistake.
What starts with TanyaD disagreeing with Aufheben descends into Virdilak calling TanyaD insane and TanyaD threatening to kick Virdilak's ass at the meetup. Aufheben adds the finishing touches to the wank, making a whole new post to let everyone know what TanyaD said. People rush to his support...
...or would, if he wasn't well known in the community for shitstirring. His last trick, which I can't be bothered to find, involved asking for someone to be removed from the community for criticising a post he made on the (completely unrelated) official forums.
For extra fun, watch community mod
bittercupojoe flail ineffectually and hand out warnings like candy. He may get pissed off with the newest post, however, so enjoy this wank while you can. Posts are likely to be nerfed screened or deleted.
ETA: Don't miss
jetwolf's account of a previous wank from the same community. City of Heroes: we wank as much as WoW, but we delete it all when we're done.
