aint nobody last more than 42 days, cept maybe charles. and charles dead now for one. HH make it almost a month then he give up the ghost. came in on the flow then peel back. anyway charles got so many pills he probably got tens pills for every day, so aint no surprise. it don't matter bout charles anyone cuz you aint even made it through a day. you sure you aint the one scared ninazerg? sure sounds like you got some fears you aint ready to be confrontin. i keep tryin warn you, and you keep talkin that big game. you best jus' run on and leave the tough talk to the tough.
ninazerg wanna play like she the champ but how tough she is if she always gotta be askin what people's records is like. i ain't tryn embarrass no one but ninazerg aint even shown she got a record. so how come she think she gonna ask about me like i just a pile a stats? some no name without rings on her neck consider herself lucky to get a call out from just anyone. aint nothin impressive about talkin like she could learn anywhere no one even gonna hear a word probably after game two. you keep drivin people in fear ninazerg but the only one in fear is your own self. you find that out soon enough.
i know people with broken thumbs got off light after talkin like ninazerg talk. see how good ninazerg macro when she can't even play piano. ninazerg if you so hard why you keep suckin your own toes? aint no champion ever start his career toe touchin. ninazerg need to stop acting like she somebody she not. long as ninazerg be scared of her own shadow people be thinkin she out to get something nobody else got. aint nobody put up with a koolaid gumdrop arrogant thinkin she out to beat flash when she apt to be beat down while she still tryin set terms.
ninazerg more she indulge in she fantasy less people think about her whole game. she afraid to take chances and ninazerg not even trickin nobody want chaos for her game. like somebody gonna hack her. aint nobody gonna hackin on some no name peppersnap think she just so fine. ninazerg you aint even ready to play much less best of, i know how you in some kind of fantasy state think you intimidate all the folks when you tryin game them up. just run out ninazerg if you think you gonna play like you talk you in for a surprise and a big surprise at that. nobody scared you ninazerg you just keep tellin yourself you so big and bad.

I am going to delve into a sordid tale of pure strangeness. This is going to be 90% serious. The first I'd ever heard of our friend Yokokano was in the newly-minted Post Your Raps Thread where he gave me a sort-of shout-out sort-of-diss kind of thing that I didn't think much of.
The summary is that consciousness causes changes in quantum fields, so that matter goes from a zero-energy state into something theoretically perceptible. Therefore, if humans could use psychic powers to influence quantum fields that would connect minds around the world with a greater pacifist mind. Great idea! Except it's complete nonsense! Quantum Consciousness is basically a cheap pseudo-scientific masquerade to justify Intelligent Design. But let's say Quantum Consciousness was a thing. It'd still be a huge leap to be able to actually use our minds to influence particles. Even if this was remotely possible, it is human nature to abuse power to control others. Anything like that would almost certainly be used by some oligarchical power structure to control the world's population.
So what does that have to do with anything? Not much, really. I mean, it's at least an interesting abstract idea, albeit the poor, rambling explanation behind it. It's actually the following post that raised my eyebrow:
This drunken butchering of the English language to express some kind of... something. Of course, there are some bread-crumb clues embedded in this messy tangle of alliteration. Particularly the use of the term "UMS" instead of "Custom games". UMS is shorthand for Use Map Settings, where a user-made map will begin executing a programmed scenario. UMS can be anything, practically. You could make a whole new game (Like DotX) or do something as simple as having a map that allows spectators to observe.
Actually, I agree with the main point of the blog, which is that people playing the ladder religiously are wayyyy too obsessed with playing competitive 1v1 mode, and are missing out on just having fun goofing around playing custom maps, team games and so on. One of the maps he mentioned is Phantom, which is actually my favorite UMS map from SC:BW. I actually learned what all the units and stuff did by playing Phantom. It's almost like sandbox mode where you can mess around and experiment with stuff, and you learn weird stuff like "mass corsair beats mass wraith"
A lot of really rambling tangents and disconnected thoughts and obscure references just for the hell of it
Faux mathematical theories, using variables and visuals to start making a point that is never explained or finished. Perhaps a point would be made if any of the math theory was expounded on, and used to reinforce a central theme, but sadly, this never takes place
A weird merging of contradicting philosophies
Quantum fucking consciousness
An obsession with becoming a god (or what he calls an Aeon)
Which drugs are good and which ones are bad
How everything is abstract and that using any absolutism is a mistake
More obscure references to controversial authors who wrote on stupid shit that was debunked and rejected by the scientific community
An proclivity towards negative stereotypes about women, especially Freudian theory that is rejected by modern psychology, but also religious attitude towards the inferiority of women to men.
I think the most poignantly noticeable aspect to his blogs is an over-usage of bizarre and sometimes made-up words, and combining it with all of the above, but in a manner that is so horribly disjointed that it barely makes any sense, although, he has eluded to purposefully writing it to be cryptic, but I think that's mainly an excuse for some bad writing in general.
So where the hell did the above post come from? Well, you thought it was just complete randomness, didn't you? It's not that simple. After the "ROFL" blog, he contacted me on Twitter to do some silly Clan X17 style banter. If you are unfamiliar with Clan X17, it was the most socially backwards channels in StarCraft, where people would challenge each other in the most obnoxious and sometimes hilarious ways imaginable. Usually, ALL CAPS were involved, and most of the time, you weren't sure if people were serious, or actually talking shit to each other. I think somewhere, in the ruckus, that line got blurred. Anyhow, this form of trash-talk/banter became a staple of US East-speak, so when he tweeted some X17ish stuff at me, I just tweeted some back.
In Clan X17, a conversation consisting of "Dodge??? Fear??? rofl look at this virgin scrub running in fear, 9999-0 ez" all in one line was not even close to unusual.
Yokokano occasionally would tweet something random at me, but then, called me a hipster:
So I said if he wanted to play SC:BW, that I'd be happy to play him and show him that I actually knew how to play. He declined to take me up on that offer. I said not to call me out and then just be like "I don't want to play." and of course, *I* was the one who was out of line, and would receive random insults like this:
And sometimes would reply to random posts where I post pictures of bears with this:
For some reason, I didn't put two and two together until this. This took place not long after he was talking shit and then refusing to play a second time. So I was like "Yeah, dodge moar". But I LEFT IT ALONE.
An occasional challenge would be leveled, which I would accept.
Here was the most recent one. This was shortly before he wrote the "They're the same game" blog, which just looked to me like an attempt to get me to play LotV instead of SC:BW by 'convincing' me that it's all the same shit, which is where I'm pretty sure where this is headed. Mind you, I did not tweet at him. He would just send this shit to me out of the blue, and would respond to non-SC posts with weird shit saying how I'm scared or an angry person.
So, how do I feel about this? Well, not particularly scared or angry, to be perfectly honest. I'm more just like "Okay, where did this come from?" because first off, I had nothing to do with his ban. Second, I haven't called him any names in retaliation for him calling me stuff. Third, I haven't publicly called him out and said "Hey, you think you're too cool for school, but I have a news flash for you, Walter Cronkite: You aren't."
I know it's just an invitation to play a video game, but then again, it feels like there's a lot of emotion behind this and I'm kinda just considering going "Nah, you win, I forfeit", but on the other hand, I kinda just want to play, because I like playing. But whatever. If he's still down for it, I'll be down for it, and I expect a 5,000-word poem apologizing to me and saying how awesome I am if I win.

I still don't feel convinced that they aren't the same person. (Note that appearing to play against each other proves nothing.) If they aren't then it's really curious that two people that appear (according to their virtual personas, that may or may not express their real selves, only people who know them IRL can say anything about that) to be created for each other would meet randomly over a niche video game on a discussion board frequented by a handful of crazy geeks without any life that spend 12-15 hours here (and myself).

We're not 'the same person'. I don't "like" him. Also, get a life. Stop pretending like you're so much smarter and better than everyone else, and that we're all a bunch of idiots that you are forced to share your genius with.

I have too much life that I need to compensate for that somehow and TL is a great choice for that.
Anyway, I hope that the event will be properly added to the TL calendar and casted.
I veto all the stupid / popular / blizzard / pre-2010 maps, that means no Lost Temple, Azalea, Luna, Gaia, Python, Fighting Spirit, 815, Neo Legacy of Char, Bloodbath, Killing Fields, et cetera.
I shouldn't even have to specify this, but game should played on Lan Lat, either with iCCup launcher or wLauncher. But since Yoko didn't even know what Chaoslauncher was until I told him, I guess some things require further explaining. If he downloads the latest iccup mappack, we won't have to sit there and wait for him to download each map.

Yeah, we know. Your life is just so jam-packed with socializing and making money that we should be honored that you would grace us plebs with your presence. But to put this on the TL calendar as a thing would be a travesty.

reading this thread, I now find myself trapped in some type of hybrid state of some sort, where the awkwardness I've been reading forces me to reply, but where there's also some catch-22y scenario, which I feel only partially equipped to articulate, that prevents me from engaging. Considering how I am currently typing rather than erasing my message, I can confidently state that fighting the awkwardness seems like a more prudent course of action. If I change my mind however, none of you will ever know of the currently raging battle taking place inside my head - yet if you read this, you will immediately know which side emerged victorious.
it doesn't really deal with Yokokano. I dunno what his deal is. Some misguided attempt at finding brilliance through going insane perhaps? Like he once read that brilliance and madness are interconnected, he wanted to be brilliant, and thought that going crazy would leave him with the best chance at discovering brilliance? Frankly, that sounds like a completely insane strategy for mental improvement - but I also feel mildly brilliant having just now conceptualized it.
But then there's the.. awkwardness through the statement of this appearing like some pre-courtship phase, when it to me, a married man who has successfully moved beyond this pre-courtship phase, looked nothing like that at all. I mean, possibly from one side.. Intuitively, it makes sense that the person I previously argued was attempting to reach brilliance through madness might also be trying to find 'love' through 'obnoxiousness' or whatever. But really? You guys got flirting from nina's replies?
And then there's the catch 22. Much of my perceived awkwardness derives from the impression of how nina's gender ends up being a topic even when it's completely irrelevant. And just like, fuck, I'm engaged in writing a post about the awkwardness of this genderification. Hell, I have become part of it. Like, all of a sudden, I'm white knighting the sharpest pen on the entire forum. All I wanted was to just write some silly quip about how dumb it was to turn this into some prelude to wedding bellz or whatever, but due to the very same mechanisms that made the rest of you make the posts you made that I felt compelled to reply derisively to, I had to make a long, internally confused post about it all. In fact, the mechanism that forced my fingers to type, also almost forced my fingers to backspace the hell out of here. Good job everyone.

First there was Game/Ninazerg drama then Eywa/Ninazerg drama then we had Pucca/Ninazerg drama (+a billion others).
I actually stuck up for Pucca a lot, even in that Stratos post. It's kind of sad that he went after me after everything I did to help him out. But if that's the way you wanna remember it, just some 'amagad drama' thing, then... I dunno. Nobody even remembers that I was sticking up for my friends on the iCCup team who were getting shit on by Game, and also my friends in iFU, like eOnzErg, and my friends in Nb. who got cheated.
When someone fucks with my friends, I'm gonna say something, eventually. I hope that's okay with you.

Everything's been fine for the last year and a half. No drama, nothing. I got along with pretty much everyone, and Eywa and I talked to each other during that time, and I even apologized to him. I didn't even start shit, so get out of here with that shit.

We're obviously going to use the latest versions of the maps, which is why I said he should 'download the latest iccup mappack'. Also, I didn't want ALL four-player maps, but if we did that, it'd be fine with me. We could swap out any of these maps, as long as we don't pick something retarded like Pathfinder or Rush Hour III.
Writing blog posts about each other, having the same sense of humor, the gentle teasing, it's pretty clear that Ninazerg and YokoKano are made for each other. This is going to be a great TL love story!

i have pictured ninazerg, here. the fact that i have located a statue of ninazerg in my house is evidence that i am not afraid while she is. the more afraid ninazerg becomes of me the better chance i have of taking the series 10-0. the fear of ninazerg is a sweet scent in my nostrils and olfactory unit. there is nothing i like more than the pleasurable stink of ninazerg's fear. i will bathe in her blood.
the more fear of ninazerg that develops the more i feel to be highly beautiful. at the height of ninazerg's fear i am driven to the pinnacle. i am like the writer of the psychosocial drama where the fear of beautiful women is extracted to create wonderful hair-flowers. ninazerg plans more and more for our match. all of her focus positioning will find ninazerg misplaced when finally i strike and the concupiscence of florid zerg yields to the flowering of youthful protoss. the fear of ninazerg will drench my keyboard and the sallow drip of her perturbedness will ultimately seal my victory. ninazerg is strong but i am stronger. ninazerg cannot sustain the sluice of my gateway tech.
ninazerg is not the more powerful one. the bold face of ninazerg will melt to the fallen leaves. while ninazerg boils and convulses in the lair tech shortly i will take each of her units with the reaver. i will not be rushed. i am not so afraid of one base like ninazerg. there is nothing to prevent the aiur from consuming ninazerg. her boundless will will be bounded. the strength of ninazerg's hold will collapse around her. ninazerg will surrender to the power of corsair arbiter. she will not come out on top. paralysis will seize her nettled grasp and ninazerg will gasp with finality of dominion. protoss will always.
ninazerg you are running now. you were so hot and now you are running. see how fast you run when the defeat knocks on your doors. so brave in the face of zealot archon. you were so brave then dark templar. now while your third falls you are preparing. none of your supply can build. ninazerg has been they will all say. with no support you will wallow with ultra from the front. you are so strong then ninazerg and there is nothing. ninazerg you cannot but then with your final drop you will dc. fear takes you now and there is no support. good bye ninazerg.
still ninazerg hangs on already the match is starting. the final set. will she picture her loose? nont ninazerg will chat probably. doesn't matter now because ninazerg cannot sustain. power overwhelming. the hallucination absorbs damage. more and more fire pours from beneath the hells. finally her spire will fall. there is no hope when ninazerg. ninazerg cannot bw. ever ninazerg they cheer for you. no. no matter what ninazerg won't give up. ninazerg summons the 5 base it is isn't enough. she is going to tap. we all know she will tap. is there any hope.
she demands sc2. no revelation. fear.
there is nothing now for ninazerg. such depression. wow.
finally ninazerg will make her last charge. the final charge of ninazerg. she has been challenged. challenged finally she is afraid. ninazerg bathes in sweat. her hair is in here eyes and the time is up. locked in the stasis field ninazerg will finally give up to the fear. the psionic is too. the overlords are scattering. ninazerg is to surrender. will ninazerg type? ninazerg furiously at the keyboard. it is not enough. ninazerg.
I veto all the stupid / popular / blizzard / pre-2010 maps, that means no Lost Temple, Azalea, Luna, Gaia, Python, Fighting Spirit, 815, Neo Legacy of Char, Bloodbath, Killing Fields, et cetera.
I shouldn't even have to specify this, but game should played on Lan Lat, either with iCCup launcher or wLauncher. But since Yoko didn't even know what Chaoslauncher was until I told him, I guess some things require further explaining. If he downloads the latest iccup mappack, we won't have to sit there and wait for him to download each map.
maps are ok you get 4 vetoes can't veto gaia can't veto lt.
i veto aza, also veto fs, and veto 815, blood bath.
i want to include sin gaema and neo js and reverse temple, also longinus

I still don't feel convinced that they aren't the same person. (Note that appearing to play against each other proves nothing.) If they aren't then it's really curious that two people that appear (according to their virtual personas, that may or may not express their real selves, only people who know them IRL can say anything about that) to be created for each other would meet randomly over a niche video game on a discussion board frequented by a handful of crazy geeks without any life that spend 12-15 hours here (and myself).
We're not 'the same person'. I don't "like" him. Also, get a life. Stop pretending like you're so much smarter and better than everyone else, and that we're all a bunch of idiots that you are forced to share your genius with.
Seriously, Nina do you have some kind of quota of drama/rivalries set each quarter?
Everything's been fine for the last year and a half. No drama, nothing. I got along with pretty much everyone, and Eywa and I talked to each other during that time, and I even apologized to him. I didn't even start shit, so get out of here with that shit.

ur maps are shit and you should feel bad. dont ever use aztec because fuck that map. also where is empire of the sun or eye of the storm.
no outsider? not using the newer versions of maps like neo medusa or new ground zero or NEC? cmon nina i except better from you
We're obviously going to use the latest versions of the maps, which is why I said he should 'download the latest iccup mappack'. Also, I didn't want ALL four-player maps, but if we did that, it'd be fine with me. We could swap out any of these maps, as long as we don't pick something retarded like Pathfinder or Rush Hour III.
here are my suggested maps: 2p: Polaris Rhapsody, Match Point, Benzene, HBR, Blue Storm, Sin Peaks of Baekdu, Destination 3p: Outsider, Neo Medusa, Tau Cross, Longinus II, El Nino/Great Barrier Reef 4p: Katrina SE, New Sniper Ridge, Neo Jade, Troy, Circuit Breakers, NEC, Grandline SE, Othello
Troll maps: Baekmagoji, Monty Hall SE, Triathlon, then all the failed garbage maps from Shinhan bank like Central Plains, Chain Reaction, Outlier.
If these people met in real life there would either be wild attraction or someone would end up being gruesomely murdered. Either that or they would sit awkwardly twiddling their thumbs being internet nerds. Who knows.

All of those maps suck except longinus, which is a "PROTOSS MAP" (whatever that means), and all the others are fine in terms of balance. Fighting Spirit is actually pretty even for ZvP/PvZ, but I don't wanna play it FOR THAT VERY REASON.
Anyhow, just gimme a time. I keep saying this. If you want to play me, I'd be happy to oblige, which I've been saying for past two months. Hell, I'm free tonight. Let's play some StarCraft, yo.

I don't have any beef. This is just one huge "Wanna play some StarCraft with me?" thing, and you can just message me and we can hang out and play some games, and they don't even have to be 1v1 games. Anybody who wants to play can message me. I love playing, so I'm probably going to say yes as long as it's not at some horribly inconvenient time.
You know I was thinking these forums have really gone downhill for quite some time. Like literally really really downhill and then we get this and I go what the fuck.

First there was Game/Ninazerg drama then Eywa/Ninazerg drama then we had Pucca/Ninazerg drama (+a billion others).
I actually stuck up for Pucca a lot, even in that Stratos post. It's kind of sad that he went after me after everything I did to help him out. But if that's the way you wanna remember it, just some 'amagad drama' thing, then... I dunno. Nobody even remembers that I was sticking up for my friends on the iCCup team who were getting shit on by Game, and also my friends in iFU, like eOnzErg, and my friends in Nb. who got cheated.
When someone fucks with my friends, I'm gonna say something, eventually. I hope that's okay with you.
All I remember is that whenever there is drama, you are involved, I mean no offense, but I just seems to be happening over and over again with you.

Everyone says this about everything. "Movies are so bad nowadays", "Music is so shitty these days", "Things used to be better back in X". To be honest, I've seen some of the old threads from before 2010, and they're not 'better' than what's being posted now.

In all seriousness, there was a time where I would be more into this and taking it super-serious, but I'm more chill about it now. I'm just like, whatever, let's just play some StarCraft and see what happens. If you win, congrats. If I win, not gonna talk shit or anything.

... So this really isn't a big 2-person troll job? I just assumed you guys either knew eachother or were having some kind of competition to see who could pull off the most convincing STIMEY D OKMGFISH impression.
Not sure if that not being the case makes this thread better or worse.

If it were Epishade and I, you could safely assume that. But this is, I dunno. I have mixed feelings because I like challenges, and I like competition, but I'm not sure I like the idea of playing someone out of spite. I used to think that was cool, but not really anymore. If he wants to play StarCraft, then we can play. For me, it's not gonna be a grudge though. For him, I'm really not sure if he's trolling or not, but I'm like 75% sure he's not even going to play, even after making this thread.
His post saying "I agree with your choice of maps, except I want to replace them with all the maps you specifically said you didn't want", was not a great sign of willingness to play, no : )
I could be wrong, but the only maps that I said I didn't want that he wanted were Gaia and Lost Temple (although he wanted Reverse Temple) but I'd rather play Gaia than LT. Also, I'm fine playing on Longinus. So if he wants Gaia and Longinus in the mappool, then I'll agree to it.

why gaia? ridiculously stupid map imo. longinus is a fine map though weak to zergs.

It was a popular map when it came out for being a "more-balanced Lost Temple". It doesn't have the same positional imbalances on Lost Temple, but it has its own quirks, chiefly, that the rush distance is either incredibly close or incredibly far away depending on where you spawn. Not my first choice of map, but if I *had* to pick Gaia or Lost Temple, I'd pick Gaia.
This seems like a brother and sister goofin around on facebook. But there is an extreme sexual tension. But I can't tell if nina only likes girls. Or if nina even is a girl. Or if these two are separate human beings. Or if they are even human beings. whatever happens I hope the best for your avatar-like courtship that inevitably follows all this raunchy paradoxical foreplay.
I think that some of the answers to those question can be found by analyzing the early texts of Yokomo Shimikano which he wrote when he was still in childhood:

2010 was actually pretty good. when you go back to like 2003 where most posts were one sentence long sure. When you get old being more cynical comes naturally. Let me put it this way. Those posts were a bit more meaningful because it was more close nit and everyone had a singular passion for SC. Now we have 5 different branches that are more disconnected than not. Take the general discussion section for community for starters. As a writer I'd ask where is the meat? To me there is little to no substance there and when there is it's far in between or there just isn't a lot of people who post there anymore. Everything is so sectioned off it reminds me of reddit and i find it to be a chore to navigate reddit. It's overzealous. I much rather hear more shit talk as a result because I get bored awfully fast now. It's just not as exciting.
So there's a little substance for why I think these forums have gone to shit. Reason behind it.

Me: Thanks for sharing that with me. I'm a better person for having heard it.
Besides that, absolutely nothing on TL, no posts, no PMs, no DMs on twitter, nothing. I don't even know what this is, but if I get another stupid message on twitter unrelated to when we're gonna play, I'm out. This is silly and a waste of everyone's time if he goes "I'm gonna fight you!" in public on teamliquid and then hides.
