EPTObituary: Wurstbrot
April 20, 2012 - April 30, 2012
A Wurstbrot is a German sandwich. There is nothing to be gleened from this, it's just a sandwich. Delving into Wurstbrot's posting history shows he was in a hurry to post and maybe he'd just finished breakfast.
Did you know?
There is nothing interesting about sandwiches, not even German ones.
Posting History
Three minutes elapsed between joining and his first post. What was the message he wished to send to our community?

This Wurstbrot was a sour Kraut and he was here to tell us how much everything sucks.
Diablo 3 would be boring. UEFA Cup is so boring. Not impressed by Guild Wars 2. And when he attempted to be positive and reassure someone about their CPU temperature it was the moderator who was negative. Nevermind a first day, this was still in his first hour. 53 minutes, 6 posts, and 1 ban from 1 forum.
Well, he would never be allowed back into Tech Support but at least it wasn't a full temp ban. Time to be positive right? Not when life is a bitch who kicks you in the balls and takes all your things. First Tech Support and now Metalopolis - the nicest map - was taken from him.
Why couldn't everyone else turn down their graphics details? I still don't like Guild Wars 2. MLG is still a waste of time. Who cares about cloaked units and graphics settings? WOW's community is made of 13 year olds and bad girls. Tasteless is sad. MLG has stupid senseless games.
Don't worry we're almost at the ban.
Civilisation expansions are too expensive. MLG has stupid senseless games (this isn't an accidental repeat on my part). MMOs are too casual. I can't see the SC2 action under all the health bars. It's the retards fault I can't play on Metalopolis.
It is not uncommon for moderators to comment on how many pointless reports they receive. It seems many of you use the report button to tell on people you disagree with on whatever "fact" you made up or were told to believe. And yet this guy had to go even further to get noticed. Lucky he did or he'd still be here.
A Step Too Far
Emboldened by the power leveling he'd accomplished while hundreds of you slept at your respective buttons he sauntered into the Old School side of town. He survived two posts and less than 15 minutes.

You can't add to the BW Community anymore, no Casual would start playing a 15 year old game in 2D and 800x600. You can't just sell BW anyore. All the people who still watch BW are elitists and think exactly like you ("bw is so much better *crycrycry*).
BW IS DEAD, pls accept it.
Be happy that there is SC2 and we don't have LoL or Call of Duty as the #1 eSport Game.
User was temp banned for this post.
Wurstbrot was just temp banned for 2 days by Pholon.
That account was created on 2012-04-20 15:41:46 and had 73 posts.
Reason: How do you get off shouting broodwar is dead in all caps to people who love that game. Just pause and reflect what this would be like in a real life situation where someone close to you isn't doing well and people just stop by your house to yell "X IS DEAD". If you wish to keep frequenting TL you'd better show some fucking respect to bw and its fanbase.

The discerning among you may have noticed a theme of negativity and repeating himself until he was temp banned. The discerning and experienced may have guessed how this story ends.
Fresh off a ban his posting almost started well, it started with him clarifing his position. But not the BW's dead thing, don't worry your TL senses aren't off. No, his position on BW pros moving to SC2 had changed from "will give SC2 new hype" to "you kids will STFU when Flash gets ROFLSTOMPED by Code A players". And also his actual position changed, he did not post that in the BW section.
It seems this was the moment of an epiphany for Wurstbrot. What was better than complaining that everything sucks? Complaining that everything you like sucks.
Naniwa got lucky. Don't make threads on all-ins! BW Pros would get ROFLSTOMPED by bad foreigners. Most aren't even in Master league. Pros won't help balance HotS. NBA prices are ripoffs. Yeah, how you like me now Old Skool? I'm gonna walk right back into a BW thread and tell everyone that it is DEAD! What are you gonna do about it?
TL.net Bot called time of death: 00:42, April 30 2012. The moderator etched onto the tombstone "Don't bother making a new account."
If he does look out for the German word for Groundhog Day.
