Haha wow. I had someone tell me they were going to kill themselves and it was my fault during the beta. I reported them and stated I was concerned for their safety. Blizzard actually used their registration info to have someone contact them about all the suicide prevention services in their area. I know because they raged at me after that, told me about it, and called me a "giant bag of dicks"


Who is "they", Blizzard ? I doubt they would call you a giant bag of dicks.

I think the original post should replace "they" with "he/she", unless somehow MVega encountered multiple people who were gonna kill themselves and called him a "giant bag of dicks".


Thanks. Yeah I meant the guy that threatened to kill himself. Updated my post for clarification.

OK... I was playing a TvP on daybreak, when suddenly:

If you look at the time, nothing really had happened. Naturally I was confused:
[image loading]


Yep, you read it right. The fact, that my scouting SCV can disrupt his mining is clearly imbalanced and ruins the game. Apparently he was upset, that he couldn't execute his build order, because he also explained that:

So for future reference:
Scouting is never ever worth it and if you don't feel the loss of mining in your build, you are a scrub!

You: thanks!

Yahu has reconnected.

Yahu: You message me due to your lack of confidence or from sheer stupidity?

You: nope. more to say thanks. Thanks!

Yahu: lol
Your thanks are unwanted.

You: But I give them anyway. Thanks!
Much appreciated

Yahu: Since you deem it so appropriate to talk to me
answer my question
Why are you messaging me? You fucking idiot

You: I was messaging you to say thanks. You played hilariously, and I derived great enjoyment from it. so thanks!

Yahu: you messaged me from either sheer stupidity, or from a lack of confidence in yourself

You: more out of thanks, really.

Yahu: to propose thanks when it's unwated

You: I appreciated the proxy two rax that I scouted with my overlord. It was fun!

Yahu: is sheer stupidity
thanks for answering

You: nono, it is sheer hilarity
wouldn't you agree?

Yahu: Evidently, no.

You: but why not? It was humorous for all
or at least for me.

Yahu: It's clear you yearned for a response from me, otherwise why jape "Thanks!"?
It's folly, really.

You: Not folly, no. I feel I've recieved a response, have I not?
And it has only added to my jovial attitude this morning!

Yahu: Your "Thanks!" was not genuine, obviously. It was an unwarranted jest.

You: it was quite genuine, my good sir. I really do offer my thanks for such easy points.
They were quite simply earned, after all.

Yahu: lol
It's you and those rivaling your lack of sportsmanship that show how much respect in this community actually has diminished
It's sad almost
That game resembled a coin toss, and that's why I refrained from gg'ing, as it wouldn't have been genuine.

You: One may talk of sportsmanship all they like, however, cries of such folly do not diminish the red-faced shame you should be feeling at attempting to entrap me with such a base and boorish maneuver. Upon exiting a well played match, I feel no such desire
to thank my opponent as I have thusly

Yahu: Lol

You: That game was far froma coin toss. The moment I scouted the barracks was the moment I secured my victory.

Yahu: It's clear you're not acting your normal self in writing the way you are
Nonetheless
The game WAS a cointoss
Either you scout that, and win, or don't, and likely lose.

You: in what manner, would you say?

Yahu: That's cheese.

You: so why debase yourself to such a stylistic choice?

Yahu: I had no patience
I don't deny my attempt at cheese
I'm only saying your jest was unwarranted
That's all

You: If one is lacking in patience, I would suggest that person not que up a match at all!
My jest was in good spirits and good humor. You could have chosen to match it with the same

Yahu: A match need not be slow...
You can be impatient
And win

You: instead you chose to take offense. I believe because you were LOOKING to take offense.

Yahu: Lol

Your "Thanks for the easy points!" was in good spirits, and good humor?

You: Certainly. You are more likely, however, to take wins when playing in a good and patient frame of mind.
Of course! I was genuinely thankful!

Yahu: Wrong. You wanted to evoke a response

You: As I am now, for this debate. It is a quite amusing why to pass the time
I hope you see it in the same light as I.

Yahu: Normally when people like you jest at me after games I simply close the window before reading the words.
Only this morning I figured I'd tell you
You're an outright insolent ass
And there is no cure for being an ass, sir

You: Well, good sir, I appreciate the gesture.

Yahu: Splendid!

You: I am quite pleased that you chose my window above all the other windows.

Yahu: I'm sure you are.
You ought to be more grateful, honestly.

You: It allows me to poke fun at the way in which you choose to engage language. Your use of words such as Jape and Folly is a rarity in these parts and in these times.
I am indeed quite grateful.

Yahu: Those words are rarities becuase the mass of English speaking people are uneducated in their ever-so-powerful language...
Especially
in
the USA

You: The language itself can be quite beautiful, would you not agree? I myself am an avid reader of those who embraced the potential and possibility
Shakespeare, Marlowe, Ben Johnson and the like. The british playwrights of the Elizabethan era.

Yahu: Well... beauty is relative, so I'm compelled to say that expression itself is what may be considered ....
aesthetically pleasing.
English particularly is perchance a more ugly language than most
To me, of course
There is no doubt that it is the most powerful language of the world, as of now
though

You: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, one could say. I find the way words slip of the tongue quite eloquent, myself.

Yahu: Yes yes beauty is in the eye of the beholder, relative, like I said
Opinionated
Earlier I only stated that Americans, generally, are .... stupid, for lack of a better word.

You: Although I would find myself agreeing with you, that often what is most aesthetically pleasing is not the choice of frivolous language, but instead the heart of expression exemplified by those words.
And I, sir, would expand that to include the vast majority of the world's populous.

Yahu: Well yes, of course, regarding a more universal intelligence. Americans largely are actually quite the degree more educated than the rest of the world
excluding some select countries
I was referring to language in particular....

You: One could argue whether or not education is truly indicative of intelligence, of course

Yahu: Americans have no respect for their vernacular, it seems.

You: But when it comes to use of language, you may be right
there is little effort made to preserve language in the way that some do
the French, for instance.

Yahu: I was measuring the 'intelligence' of nations. Of how a populace develops under an educatory standard.
Of that measure I'd say the USA is outstanding
As are a few other countries

You: The USA is certainly not too far behind, but at the same time the nation is slowly slipping in that regard.

Yahu: ^yes
I agree
Especially in the areas of linguistic study

You: Sadly, it is hard not to. The evidence is quite clear, although some ignore it
and THAT is because some feel it to be unneeded.
In a time of slashed budgets people cut that which they feel to be superfluous.
unfortunately

Yahu: Yes

You: I would argue that the arts and humanities and linguistics are far from superfluous

Yahu: As would I
Though, as you mentioned
Those are the courses cut back upon

You: rather they are the heart and soul of a nation. Wealth and power is all well and good, but we remember nations for their developments in the arts and sciences above all else.

Yahu: Yes, wealth and power are merely means to an end.
Though
Though there really is no 'end' to an empire
It's crumbling maybe

You: Other than the propogation of itself, or lack thereof.
In any case, good sir, this has been a fascinating and lively debate, but I unfortunately must be on my way.
Good day to you.

Yahu: Good day.


As much as the reverse degeneration of this conversation into a slightly stunted discussion of political philosophy amuses me:

1. Until you post a screenshot of the game chat I have no reason to believe your messaging this guy was a response to anything in-game. AFAIK you began the BM.

2. You said "thusly." No. Just...no.

Yes captain obvious. I'm pretty sure I know what "dioxygen" is. The fact is NOBODY calls molecular oxygen that. He's trying to act smart but failing really hard. But I guess it worked on you.

We might agree on the fact that he started the bm but seriously guys, have you actually read the whole thing? It's pretty funny. So stop flamming for the sake of it before actually making sure it's not thread worthy... Seriously, i'm sick of the fashion hatred on TL. Most of you are flamming this guy because you all think it will make you looks good.

Lol, this isn't a democracy. Either you abide by OP's thread rules and don't post your BM or do it anyways and get flamed and called an asshat, simple as that bro. Not like this matters, you probably think you're "epic trolling" or something, who knows.

Much appreciated

Yahu: Since you deem it so appropriate to talk to me
answer my question
Why are you messaging me? You fucking idiot

You: I was messaging you to say thanks. You played hilariously, and I derived great enjoyment from it. so thanks!

Yahu: you messaged me from either sheer stupidity, or from a lack of confidence in yourself

You: more out of thanks, really.

Yahu: to propose thanks when it's unwated

You: I appreciated the proxy two rax that I scouted with my overlord. It was fun!

Yahu: is sheer stupidity
thanks for answering

You: nono, it is sheer hilarity
wouldn't you agree?

Yahu: Evidently, no.

You: but why not? It was humorous for all
or at least for me.

Yahu: It's clear you yearned for a response from me, otherwise why jape "Thanks!"?
It's folly, really.

You: Not folly, no. I feel I've recieved a response, have I not?
And it has only added to my jovial attitude this morning!

Yahu: Your "Thanks!" was not genuine, obviously. It was an unwarranted jest.

You: it was quite genuine, my good sir. I really do offer my thanks for such easy points.
They were quite simply earned, after all.

Yahu: lol
It's you and those rivaling your lack of sportsmanship that show how much respect in this community actually has diminished
It's sad almost
That game resembled a coin toss, and that's why I refrained from gg'ing, as it wouldn't have been genuine.

You: One may talk of sportsmanship all they like, however, cries of such folly do not diminish the red-faced shame you should be feeling at attempting to entrap me with such a base and boorish maneuver. Upon exiting a well played match, I feel no such desire
to thank my opponent as I have thusly

Yahu: Lol

You: That game was far froma coin toss. The moment I scouted the barracks was the moment I secured my victory.

Yahu: It's clear you're not acting your normal self in writing the way you are
Nonetheless
The game WAS a cointoss
Either you scout that, and win, or don't, and likely lose.

You: in what manner, would you say?

Yahu: That's cheese.

You: so why debase yourself to such a stylistic choice?

Yahu: I had no patience
I don't deny my attempt at cheese
I'm only saying your jest was unwarranted
That's all

You: If one is lacking in patience, I would suggest that person not que up a match at all!
My jest was in good spirits and good humor. You could have chosen to match it with the same

Yahu: A match need not be slow...
You can be impatient
And win

You: instead you chose to take offense. I believe because you were LOOKING to take offense.

Yahu: Lol

Your "Thanks for the easy points!" was in good spirits, and good humor?

You: Certainly. You are more likely, however, to take wins when playing in a good and patient frame of mind.
Of course! I was genuinely thankful!

Yahu: Wrong. You wanted to evoke a response

You: As I am now, for this debate. It is a quite amusing why to pass the time
I hope you see it in the same light as I.

Yahu: Normally when people like you jest at me after games I simply close the window before reading the words.
Only this morning I figured I'd tell you
You're an outright insolent ass
And there is no cure for being an ass, sir

You: Well, good sir, I appreciate the gesture.

Yahu: Splendid!

You: I am quite pleased that you chose my window above all the other windows.

Yahu: I'm sure you are.
You ought to be more grateful, honestly.

You: It allows me to poke fun at the way in which you choose to engage language. Your use of words such as Jape and Folly is a rarity in these parts and in these times.
I am indeed quite grateful.

Yahu: Those words are rarities becuase the mass of English speaking people are uneducated in their ever-so-powerful language...
Especially
in
the USA

You: The language itself can be quite beautiful, would you not agree? I myself am an avid reader of those who embraced the potential and possibility
Shakespeare, Marlowe, Ben Johnson and the like. The british playwrights of the Elizabethan era.

Yahu: Well... beauty is relative, so I'm compelled to say that expression itself is what may be considered ....
aesthetically pleasing.
English particularly is perchance a more ugly language than most
To me, of course
There is no doubt that it is the most powerful language of the world, as of now
though

You: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, one could say. I find the way words slip of the tongue quite eloquent, myself.

Yahu: Yes yes beauty is in the eye of the beholder, relative, like I said
Opinionated
Earlier I only stated that Americans, generally, are .... stupid, for lack of a better word.

You: Although I would find myself agreeing with you, that often what is most aesthetically pleasing is not the choice of frivolous language, but instead the heart of expression exemplified by those words.
And I, sir, would expand that to include the vast majority of the world's populous.

Yahu: Well yes, of course, regarding a more universal intelligence. Americans largely are actually quite the degree more educated than the rest of the world
excluding some select countries
I was referring to language in particular....

You: One could argue whether or not education is truly indicative of intelligence, of course

Yahu: Americans have no respect for their vernacular, it seems.

You: But when it comes to use of language, you may be right
there is little effort made to preserve language in the way that some do
the French, for instance.

Yahu: I was measuring the 'intelligence' of nations. Of how a populace develops under an educatory standard.
Of that measure I'd say the USA is outstanding
As are a few other countries

You: The USA is certainly not too far behind, but at the same time the nation is slowly slipping in that regard.

Yahu: ^yes
I agree
Especially in the areas of linguistic study

You: Sadly, it is hard not to. The evidence is quite clear, although some ignore it
and THAT is because some feel it to be unneeded.
In a time of slashed budgets people cut that which they feel to be superfluous.
unfortunately

Yahu: Yes

You: I would argue that the arts and humanities and linguistics are far from superfluous

Yahu: As would I
Though, as you mentioned
Those are the courses cut back upon

You: rather they are the heart and soul of a nation. Wealth and power is all well and good, but we remember nations for their developments in the arts and sciences above all else.

Yahu: Yes, wealth and power are merely means to an end.
Though
Though there really is no 'end' to an empire
It's crumbling maybe

You: Other than the propogation of itself, or lack thereof.
In any case, good sir, this has been a fascinating and lively debate, but I unfortunately must be on my way.
Good day to you.

Yahu: Good day.


As much as the reverse degeneration of this conversation into a slightly stunted discussion of political philosophy amuses me:

1. Until you post a screenshot of the game chat I have no reason to believe your messaging this guy was a response to anything in-game. AFAIK you began the BM.

2. You said "thusly." No. Just...no.




My only response to this is that Thusly is totally a word. Check out Shakespeare! Otherwise, nothing else to discuss, it has all been said.

To Preface, this conversation follows a game in which Yahu attempted a proxy rax which was scouted by my overlord. I pulled enough droned to stop the Barracks from going up and took the game handily from there, despite in game bm from my opponent. After the game, I dropped him a line in response to his bm in the game.

So.... YES I spoke first, but NO I didn't start the BM. And, well, the way this conversation goes is worth a read. It became very confusing.



You: thanks!

I'm just confirming that "thusly" is a word.
