Tales of Wank
A friend pointed me toward this one, and it's too good to pass up.

There is a Nintendo game called Tales of Symphonia. Tales of Symphonia has a small, yet active fandom, and as we all know, with fandom, comes wank. And with LJ RPGs comes even more wank.

On one of the many ToS RPGs on Livejournal, the person playing the character of Regal Bryant is apparently not up to scratch. So when Regal-mun posts a poorly characterized chat-log on the main RPG community, it draws the fire of a lurking mouse:

I've been lurking on this RPG for a while and I really enjoy reading everything but your posts. This is due mainly to the fact that your characterization sucks furry, sweaty buffalo nads. You may think I exaggerate, but I assure you, I do not. In the world of RPG, there are various levels of characterization: "In character", "slightly OOC", "really OOC", and "oh my God call the f***ing cops because someone just committed canon rape." I would give you one guess as to which category you fall into, but since you lack the mental capacity to post anything other than random drivel, I shall assume that you also lack the mental capacity to understand the point of this post. I will therefore spell it out for you. A small legion of drunken leprechauns dancing the Irish jig atop a non-ASCII standard keyboard could likely produce a more coherent post, and your concept of characterization is shameful on a good day. You don't just rape canon. You bend it over, sodomize it until it bleeds, then blow your load all over its chest.

Whoo boy! Next up comes the moderator, who is not amused. The mod, however, is ignored by the troll, who decides to go after Regal-mun's response instead. The other players jump in, and a 32-post wank ensues, including such gems as Okay, WTF. That is so lame, MARTHA STEWART IS MY HERO, I don't get it, and Sorry. Grammar Nazi gets gassed. It finally concludes when Regal-mun announces that she's leaving the RPG.

So everything's fine now, right? WRONG. Regal-mun goes to her character journal and posts yet another I'm leaving! message. A few players are sad to see her go, but then our beloved mouse returns, and offers three simple words of encouragement: IT'S ABOUT TIME.

Cue Splooge Fest Part Deux, and it goes for 94 posts this time, with wank from the troll, the mod, and various players posting under their character names. A few highlights include: You should thank me for chasing off your crappy players; You're an RPG terrorist! (To which the troll responds: Sweetie, get a grip. I'm trolling an RPG, not bombing the World Trade Center.); and "Nobody has the power to make you a post whore without your consent."

After arguing with the troll for a while, and possibly noticing that the troll has seemingly managed to win over a few of the RPers, the mod finally tries to calm things down. The troll bids the moderator a polite farewell, and thus ends the Tales of Wank.

Or at least until the sequel comes out.

the moderator loses major points. instead of ending the insanity, quick and clean, she perpetuated it and ended things with a troll on a positive note?

trying to 'reason' with them? what lame shit is that?

this drama was created and perpetuated by all involved instead of stopping it early.

Damn! I've been watching this one unfold for the past couple of days, and I was wondering if\when it would end up here.

Why does it seem like the most absurd and explosive wank comes from the smallest fandoms? Are they like little tiny pressure cookers of splooge or something?

Though all things considered...their Regal DOES suck and the troll IS funny. And because I'm an immature little twit, I laughed my ass off at the whole damn thing. Especially the "Yes, you *do* need trolls" line.

Hahahahahahahaha. And I love how said GN blames a former English teacher's taste in books for their public faux pas. "I'm not stupid. I may have behaved a little stupidly. But it's not my fault. It's John Steinbeck's fault. John Steinbeck is stupid. John Steinbeck wrote a book that my teacher liked. By doing so, he threatened me with a dead mouse and a lactating woman. This forced me to post something that got me burned by an anonymous troll. Die, John Steinbeck, and take your pissed off grapes with you."

Is there a Jurisimprudence law--maybe an offshoot of Godwin's--about comparisons to terrorists and 9/11? If not, someone needs to make one, stat.

The troll comment was way harsh--but extremely clever. I must admit to laughing at the dancing leprechauns.

I... wow, I haven't even -met- Regal in the game yet and I could tell this player really, really sucks. Uhm. yeah.
Man though, the ToS characters are pretty wanky as it -is-. So is this considered canon?

Getting put on fandom_wank means having a bunch of strangers flood onto our RP for the purpose of pointing and laughing at us all, and that is FAR greater a disturbance (and heartbreaker) than a lone wanker troll. I, for one, don't want to have to lock all my posts and keep any more friendly lurkers from accessing them.

Dude, we'd only go point and laugh for maybe...a day or two, allowing that not everyone sees it the minute it's posted. But we have short attention spans, so it's not like we'd be sticking around laughing after that!

not unless someone gives us a very good reason, anyway

what disappoints me is all this kudos and goodjobs to someone who basically ripped someone up thoroughly (and uninvited) in a RPG.

it doesn't matter that the player sucked. they really didn't deserve to be taken to task like that by someone who didn't have the courage to at least sign their name.

what makes it worse would be if it were one of the players that did this.

sure the troll was witty and funny. they were also an asstard of the highest degree. if the player was wanky then I would think, fair game.

but if I'm reading this right, other than the player just not being a superstellar player (which I've noticed no one appears to have said anything to the player about it before, INCLUDING the moderator who decided to tell the player after being ATTACKED publically that, yeah, they actually did suck ass) this player really didn't do or act in a wanky manner.

yeah. let's cheer on the bully and the biggest wanker there was in the thread.

You know, this troll reminds me of Knorg at GAFF, who also started out trolling, but made the mistake of making one too many Terry Pratchett references, and thus became loved by all. As far as I know, though, Knorg is a 65 year old man, and this troll seems to have a vagina.

On the other hand, if we could get them together somehow we could have a breeding pair! In time we could produce a superior race of trolls, ones which are vastly amusing, and tend to avoid the U R STOOPiD trap, or at least say it in an amusing manner.
