After reading the PURGE 2008 thread and meeting a TL staff in person, I decided that I should let you all in on my history here at TL.

Most of you guys probably don't know me, even though I've been lurking/posting on TL for four years or so. I love this site and everything about it. The SC coverage, the replays, the TLPD, and all of the people here. But, I've been banned... three times.

Once was four years ago where I made a topic that was intended to be funny, but turned out to be extremely stupid and only funny to me and the other person involved. An admin banned me for the topic (rekrul I think? ), but I got unbanned by an admin I knew through a slight hookup. Then another admin banned me again for the same thing and that was it for that account! I won't reveal the thread or my account name, because I don't want to embarass the guy who was involved (an active member here still).

At this point I thought TL was a bunch of assholes. Then a couple months later I made a new account, ArseniC-2. This one is painful to post because what ensued is pretty embarassing to look back on.

I bet everyone remembers Fakesteve's "Tonight I will write or MsPaint anything you want" thread. Great thread and one of the best in TL's archives, imo. Yep, I was the newb trolling the thread who got banned as a result. Here's a summary of what happened.

+ Show Spoiler +

The premise of the thread:

Fakesteve:
"Draw a kangaroo driving an H2 over the pyramids"

"Tell me what would happen if I came face-to-face with Morgan Freeman"

this should be pretty fun as long as terrible suggestions are kept to a minimum

feel free to add your own take on suggestions


An admittedly bad idea:

Me:
Draw Bush telling Kayne just how much he cares about black people.


Favesteve:
politics get out

A better idea I guess...

Me:
Draw TheMarine doing his mandatory army service


Fakesteve:
that can only end in a terrible terrible joke wherein themarine is running back and forth out of formation yelling about marine micro to his CO

not gonna happen


Me:
haha you dont like my ideas much =O I'll try to think of better ones

The best I could come up with (not THAT bad I guess ):

Me:
Well here's some ideas, use the ones you like.

-Testie tries out for the circus
-SC2 came out, and theres only 10 copies to sell in a store in korea
-HovZ goes to a nightclub in korea and thinks hes gonna get some serious ass for being "gosu"
-HovZ has a booksigning for his autobiography
-Team KTF and SKT1 clash in a street battle showdown


Fakesteve:
here's hovz slapping you for having terrible ideas

[image loading]


Ouch #1

Me:
I can think of alot of funny ideas you could do with those, I dont know what your problem is. Whatever.

Ouch #2

Fakesteve:
here's you taking stuff personally
[image loading]

Ok time to get some revenge

Me:
FakeSteve tries out for a metal band.
[image loading]



Favesteve:
(quoted my pic)
that was a fucking disgrace

Yea... fail.

Although looking at it makes me laugh a little.
Rekrul joins the party:

Rekrul:
(quoted my pic)
first you make shitty suggestions then you make a shitty picture, get the fuck out monkey

I slip in another insult at fakesteve, which ends in...

Me:
FakeSteve has an idea
[image loading]



Me:
opps didnt see what u wrote rek, ill stop now...


Rekrul:
lol, thanks

steve has too much talent u disrespect him by drawing in his thread

epic fail.

Mavi:
draw Rekrul kicking Arsenic's ass for making terrible suggestions

Now I'm starting to get out of line

Me:
Oh hi im maVi, and I like kissing admins asses! (no offense to you, rekrul)

Did you make any suggestions maVi? No? Then shut up.

Ouch #3:

Fakesteve:
(quoted my last post)
[image loading]


My pics just keep getting worse:

Me:
[image loading]



Fakesteve:
i'm not an admin and my hair isnt fucking yellow

As per a friend's suggestion, I get back on track with an idea that could turn into a funny pic. But I'm knee deep in shit with Rek and Fakesteve at this point.

Me:
To keep the spirit of the thread going, here's an idea that I'm sure will get thrown back at me again.

Draw me a burrito eating Slog4


Inc:
he's "only" a forum mod i think..

so what would happen if it started raining cocks every day at 14:32

Ouch #... starting to lose count:

Fakesteve:
(quoted inc's post)
[image loading]


About the worst comeback possible: (just for the record FS's pic made me laugh)

Me:
OMG WHO SAW THAT COMING? I SURE DIDNT! (sarcasm)

Ouch # final:

Rekrul:
(quoted above post)
[image loading]




So basically I got tossed around that thread like a box of oreos and ended up getting banned as a result. Oh well, it was funny I guess.

A little bit later (3 years or ago or so), I made this account: AcrossFiveJulys, which is a twist on a band I was listening to at that time, Across Five Aprils. I learned that you have to show a little respect to get respect here at TL. I've had some awesome posts on this account, some that make me look like an idiot, and some that should be purged from the TL database. But I come out of the dark to you all and hope my previous actions can be forgiven. At least I wasn't pretending to be a hot gamer chick for 3 years.

My name is Rob, pleased to meet you.

Yeah this one is definitely hilarious. So are the ones you drew, I guess they were insulting but you got banned so, call it even :/?

And Rekrul just really liked banning people, so it's okay. Fakesteve is straight ruthless though. This post at least is funny enough that I'd rate you a .... 6! Because that's the lowest you can get without a ban I guess.

Yeah I guess we all have to learn that, in one way or another. Looking back at my posts from 2004 and 2005 I'm still amazed by the fact that I wasn't warned or temp banned at least once. Luckiley we humans tend to view things differently and mature the older we grow, so hopefully i'll never have to visit disneyland.

You more than wiped your name clean with this blog post. I will now tell my children they can once again read TL without fear of the 14:32 man.
players do games, press mens do their things. and fans do make good cheers.

The story tell that everyday at 14:32 Arsenic come from the ban graveyard and opens his mouth to protect us all of the 8====> RAIN! (trying to clean his name). the Rekrul pic is gold, he should make one for all bans.

That MSpaint "14:31" picture is among my favourites if not my favourite Steve has ever drawn.
The second I read that when it happened I exploded into laughter.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.
