Shame to see this, but no surprise, mister 'I'm edgy' Technomage had to play ball to get those DDOcast invites I guess. What a fucking phoney lol!

Yessir Arkat is Technomage, has been for almost 6 years.

See it is an open secret that when Arkat hit a post count of 12345 in August 2015 he retired the account because he saw some other cool Vaulties do that when they hit 12345, and if there is anything that that old Lava diver is, it is unoriginal. His idea of personality is much akin to Dick Cheney's wardrobe: both are half-hearted attempts to distract from the round shape and unimpressive core of the old white guy they are swathed around, unable to camouflage the boring mediocrity their entitled lives allowed to florish.

Grin Grin Grin

Here is what would have been Akrat's last post:
http://www.ddovault.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1440635214/9#9 ;

But then after Rubbins provoked him a couple years later he couldn't help himself and had to use it again to post a rebuttal and then ask Strake to reset the post count of the retired account so he could still copy the "cool kids":

http://www.ddovault.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1516386754/6#6

The whole episode has amused many of us to no end and is a handy reminder that sometimes old Arkat's insecurity knows no bounds and that he craves approval from what he sees as Authority. Pretty typical for social stunted nerds. Of course



Postscript: Funny little aside, old Arkat used to accuse people of being socks all the time, and never failed to try to infer that because an account might be a sock, that any argument it made could be ignored instead of debated. He has always had a real boner for Sock accounts and Strake evil mastermind that he is would hint or tell Arkat/technomage some accounts were socks... and then forbid him from sharing the info or that he had been told. Arakat/Technomage fucking looooooooves feeling like he is 'in the know', but he wasn't allowed to post why he knew or he wouldn't get more "info".  As you might imagine this was and is torture for him and never fails to make Strake cackle with glee. And poor old Arkat/techno? well he never fails to fall the trap again and again and again.

This dumbass Marshall Lannes said"

I voted like. Yes, there is some lag on the load screens but I expect that will be ironed out in a day or so. I saw the note about changes to Holy Retribution so I went and tried it and there is nothing I notice. In fact, with the new double strike changes, you get some amazing critical hits. Some serious big numbers on eSoS. So, a tentative thumbs-up pending more testing (also haven't run the new quests yet). "

How did this monkey retard even get an Esos, he keeps talking about how difficult reaper is and his mini thor bullshit.

Alas no, as to what is?  all I can say is our background is... complicated.

That certainly would be a way to get Skoodge active again, not to mention the angst it would cause poor old Sobsobsob. Not to mention how it would drive the 4-5 stalker accounts that are obsessed with me out of their minds!

Ah! If I remember correctly Papa Strake posted an amazing summary of the Stainer saga prompted by Kistilan's brief return last year.

You can explain the origin and demise of KNN,



As to KNN, He was a guy who was posting under the fake name of Teh_Troll in the spring of 2015 who got just fucking massacred a couple months later in the summer and cloned (successfully... lol!) and then made a few socks that didn't do much. In October 2015 he made the KNN account (called Deadeye at first) and then rather naively made a real open-hearted post about how upset he was bow combat changes which unsurprisingly was mocked and torn to shreds.

From that point on he started trying to model a persona and his posts on the ones that caused him the most grief previously, copying all the tactics that humiliated him. For example he didn't know how to post gifs and memes at first, but after he was hammered by them he picked it up and started to flood them back. It was the same thing, with videos, vault slang, socks, account name changes, etc... if you go back and read through his first three weeks posting with that account you will see the learning curve there.

And then of course he finally figured out the secret: only Strake can make you quit, nobody else can force you, and the Big guys loves chaos so all he had to do was hang in there.

By late October 2 established vaulties ( Wink) reached out to help P4P (god that name was funny lol) to at first help him out and then eventually to take over the account whenever he tapped out now and then. Other than that Old Puerto Potty (another classic) got drunk on the trolling as so many of us do! lol. After the sock monster retired, KNN's helper monkies dropped-out and he started running out of steam, (a common risk a troll runs when he frames his drama primarily with one conflict) also by then his posts were being blocked 80% of the vault via the script and was out of the scene a little more than 3 months later.

Other than that, Deadeye/KNN/Mafealian (his Sarlona handle) went back to playing, but he brought along his new Troll social vibe and was booted by his guild within a month and caught a ban by the end of the summer of '17.

I stopped watching television about 25 years ago and this thread makes me feel like I've just caught up with every episode of Days, General Hospital, Bold and the Beautiful, Dallas and the Benny Hill show.

All that's missing is a commercial for the Dupe Store.

I wish I knew Adobe AfterEffects I would make that teaser commercial.
