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 [info]aufheben and [info]virdilak, on the other [info]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 [info]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 [info]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.

Oh son of a bitch.

I'm in there! I'm Crantz.

Aufben's a dicky dick. Almost everything he says is 'I'm a dick, I'm a dick, I'm a tiny diiiick'

You might say I do not like him. I hope now that I've made this comment, he will demand I get kicked out. It would make my week.

I like CuppaJoe too, but he needs to stop asking people how they feel and start slapping them in the face and calling them bitches.

He could start with Aufheben!

But he's not a dick at all -- he just comes across that way because English is his second language! *nodnod*

Um, his disorder is he's European?

And in retrospect, I always love the fact that the place they want to meet at is where my anime convention is. It feels tainted by the wank now.

If it helps, I feel tainted by the fact that [info]aufheben has a German username.

Hooray, I don't have to feel obligated to write about this.

Aufheben is pretty much being Aufheben, which I mostly just ignore by this stage. But what the hell's up with Tanyad? Things have settled down and at least twice now and she's deliberately started shit up again (such as...).

Yeesh though. Between this and the kwsapphire crap not too long ago (which had me grinding teeth), BCoJ can't swing the mod hammer enough for me.

Man, I would have loved a Kwasapphire post. Damn her deleting. I like her showing up two days later to announce she'd 'quietly left' and we'd failed to notice.

I missed Kwsapphire's first wanky post, unfortunately, so I only got the fallout. No one would say what she'd done, and things kept disappearing. It was a little frustrating.

This is why I would not let myself make connections with many people while playing City of Heroes WHICH I MISS. I got nervous whenever someone asked to team with me again. D: "Uuuh... no, 'cause... I have to wash my hair. See my long hair? These beefy arms have difficulty reaching all that. It's time for a supershower. BYE."

Ugh, I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates interacting with MMORPG strangers.

I haven't partied with anyone I don't know in real life in forever. I get called a faggot a lot less that way.

It's the lack of fucked up lore. *nodnods* You get to create your own, we're stuck with someone who's trapped in a basement, smoking crack their team of loremasters.

Oh, Lady Vashj. You're so hot. Why are you a Captain Planet villain?

Imagine the surprise when they find out they're all secretly primarily City of Villains players.

"You used me! You lied to me! Also, I thought you were a ninety-pound eighteen-year-old."
"Shut up. Your mad scientist killed my healer, fucker."

Ahhh...CoH wank. What fun. I'm in the community, but since I'd skimmed past the posts talking about a meetup, I missed all the fun until it was all over.

And now, after reading it all, I'm happier than ever that I found a great group of players in beta who have since become my friends. We don't have this sort of drama, so I experience it all vicariously through wank. :)

This is all pretty boring at this point, honestly.

No matter who's on what side, this seems (to me) to be, always, a lose. "Look, I'm cooler than you and you BORE me. So I'm still posting about it."

Aufheben: "When did I say I would ask Lighthouse to open it up to the goober-filled City forums?"

TanyaD: "Once we get this confirmed, I'll let Lighthouse know (also that this is an LJ-only event, so as not to promote it on the goober-filled City forums).

This sentence seems to imply just that."

Rather, it seems to explicitly state THE EXACT OPPOSITE.
