Am I crazy?

[Troll King]

I don't think he gives a damn.

[Ephemeral]

Well, it has been 10 days since I first posted this, and he is still going strong, trashing arenas every day.

I am now beginning to think that Spinsanity is actually former president Bill Clinton. Perhaps someone ought to send this idea into Saturday Night Live... Can you picture it the skit? Bill sitting there every night, in his p.j.’s, spamming a 2D internet space game chat with political rhetoric? hehe

Theres a joke in there about one of them not being able to repel the other but I cant find it

[WiseCherub]

Ohya another am I crazy sighting last night..heh...

There was a player by the name of (REZEN) a lancaster.

This Rezen just constantly rotates (stationary) and fires randomnly... Is it a bot? Or just someone using one of their computers with the keys jammed on one of the left or right arrows and control key.... probably....

I played for a bit around 9pm PST... then came back around 1am PST...and still there??? weird

Anyways I found this lancaster rather annoying, and it was delibarate... surprise no one took action on this, well keep your eyes open.... opps maybe I should have send a report... never done that yet...

[Kolar]

spinsanity> about Bush and PNAC (project for new american century) "This is a blueprint for United States world domination - a new world order of their making, "Tam dAlyell, british parliamentarian



How can such a gap in comprehension be explained? ..the Bush administration put forth a array of lies, and the American media chose to repeat them instead of verifying the veracity of the claims.

spinsanity> .."Operation Free Iraqi Oil" is about over... up next "Operation Free Iranian Oil"

spinsanity> hes A HUGE danger to america.. bush that is

This guy is annoying, all of these messages were not being discused at the time he put them out into the pub chat.

The hatred level is around 10 :P.

Edit: I found he is just macroing it. Hes also messaging me in game with crap.

lol kobar ^

[The Designer]

I had a run-in with this guy. Some of it was amusing. Check it out.

spinsanity> there are some ppl that dont hear views in america that are surpressed by main stream corperate controled media
Ender137> true... but then are 2d space games for losers to voice their opinions too
spinsanity> im a looser for expressing a opinion?
Ender137> no you're a loser for expressing it in subspace
Bluedandy> This is a video game
Bluedandy> Not a message board
Ender137> hha
Bluedandy> Nobody here cares but you
Bluedandy> Understand that
spinsanity> If radical conservatives hijackED the media,the truth, and the Constitution, citizens can hijack a public chat for a bit
Bluedandy> Wow
Bluedandy> Hey Spin
spinsanity> ya>
Bluedandy> If you're complaining about the Evil Media Conglomeration of Death forcing THEIR opinions on us as gospel truth... What are YOU doing?
spinsanity> sayen stuff to counter that form of mind control
Ender137> he doesn't know what he's doing... otherwise he wouldn't be doing it in a 2d space game
Bluedandy> So you think by spouting macros in a spaceship game where half the people are under 18 and thus unable to create change, you will turn us away from the Dark Side and we'll all kill our TVs?
Ender137> sorry... ive been brainwashed so completely that I and everyone in here will completely disregard what you say
Bluedandy> Hehe
spinsanity> mass media of corperate and military values make conviencing aruguments that convence (thru manipulation) ppl that something not in there best interest is... that is lies.. and anti democratic
Bluedandy> You're not answering my question
Ender137> ok... listen to me spinsanity.... if there is such a large conspiracy as you say that there is, you must have convinced yourself that the case is already hopeless for one person - you - to change it
spinsanity> they are sellen lyes and anti democratic (leaning to fascism)
spinsanity> its only a conspercy of big power
Bluedandy> Spin, you're pretty funny
Ender137> SPIN HOW OLD ARE U?!
Bluedandy> You have all these macros, but you fail to answer simple questions
spinsanity> big power have interest that are contary to yours
spinsanity> i old enough
Bluedandy> How old
spinsanity> wont say :/
Bluedandy> 18? 19? Think you can change the world?
Yellow Cho> ya cant change the world
spinsanity> should not matter... u are just wanting info for character assisantion .. a hall mark of the right wing
Bluedandy> lol
spinsanity> if u can kill the message.. kill the messenger
Bluedandy> So you're going to twist that question into calling me a right-wing fundie bastard because I asked how old you are?
spinsanity> heh
Ender137> LISTEN SPIN... IM A HEAVY LEFT OK.... but ur just a fuckin idiot
Bluedandy> It occurs to me that you're just as brainwashed as you claim all of us to be

Ah, god bless the internet. He never did answer me directly, or divulge his age.

[ZeUs!!]

The secret's out, The Designer is Ender137

[WiseCherub]

Ohya, that Rezen spinning lancaster I saw again last night and wasn't exactly sure what to do..

So I reported it... cause one of the rules, is no bots or anything to ruin game play.

After I reported, I said in public... Rezen has been reported...

they said for TK?

I said for being lame...heh

1 minute later.. Rezen logs off... poof...

First time I ever reported, I dont usually do it, but if it is blatant like that.. I couldn't resist.

As for spinsanity? I don't know, haven't seen him much.

He should just say every once and awhile...
come to political chat channel if you wana talk politics... instead of constantly talking about politics within public chat channel.

If I see him, I will suggest this... hopefully you'll do it.

[Kolar]

I got him to say hes trying to start a public debate in pubs but then go him 2 mins later to admit its not a debate. Hes just macroing everything hes saying the only way hes getting around not being banned is that staff doesn't care or hes not doing it enough. You wont find any reason with this kid.

[TelC@t]

Eph was asking you a question 'Am I crazy'

The proper answer would be

a) Yes Eph, you are crazy

b) No Eph, you are not crazy

c) Dunno ... maybe?

d) Kinda ... not really ... a bit ... you know what I mean.

Now go back and answer his question again!

[Zloy]

Ew, Tl@9cat is on the loose again

[Ephemeral]

Well, it's been a few weeks since I first raised this issue and he is still at it strong. Below is a (edited) private chat I had with him in which he admits that he doesn't care that he is hurting the game..

spinsanity> The administration's calculated campaign to raise and maintain fear and anxiety in America has been an effective tool
Ephemeral> shut up Spin take your game disrupting crap somewhere where the ppl care
spinsanity> those who care about truth and the Constitution to demand the impeachment of President Bush and his chosen few.
Ephemeral> Spin please take your game disrupting crap someplace where like-minded ppl are, like a chatroom or newsgroup
Ephemeral> no one really wants a political discussion here...but you keep ur political macros running for weeks
spinsanity> bush's propaganda and concealing information vital to public discussion and informed judgment to create a climate of fear and hatred
spinsanity> Bush is making us less safe.. not more safe meanwhile u are lied to by political hacks at almost every point.. and being trained that any us agression is good
Ephemeral> Spin, you obviously have some agenda...which is fine if it is in context....but spamming your one-sided political views here is hurting the game
spinsanity> its one sided because there is a real threat from bush and his ppl... i encourage you to prove me wrong (or right) there has never been a threat to america this powerful
Ephemeral> it doesnt matter if your right or wrong about that....what matters is that you are macroing a inflamatory, off topic opinion in a 2d space game
spinsanity> if u think they are imflamitory or wrong... i encouage u to read more on the subjects
Ephemeral> it is off topic, period
Ephemeral> THAT is what makes it bad, not what your opinion is
Ephemeral> if i got on every day and published "Ford cars suk" would be same thing
Ephemeral> it sucks ppl into an arguement this isnt the place
Ephemeral> i am not talking about an occasional pub chat, if you were simply occasionally joining in an discussion, thats one thing, you are macroing this stuff, over and over and over, day in day out
Ephemeral> which, by the way, lessens the value of whatever opinion you might have
spinsanity> no.. im not trying to say if one party is better than the other (i have my opinions) but this is far beyond that... im saying that american under bush could destroy us all
Ephemeral> no again you are intentionally NOT discussing the issue I am raising here..... about it being off topic
spinsanity> and u are being lied to by the 6 oclock news like never before
Ephemeral> for the first time i am interested in your opinion please tell me how spamming macros day in and day out helps anyone and doesnt hurt the game
Ephemeral> stop trying to make this a political discussion... speak to the issue i am asking about
Ephemeral> again, please explain how you think it's justified to spam off-topic opinion for weeks...suxing ppl into arguing
spinsanity> if u are in disagreement with what i claim.... i think u should read on the topics i bring up.. till u are satisified that im right or wrong
Ephemeral> sigh are you an moron? can you not simply answer a simply question?
Ephemeral> i dont care about your political opinions....a care about the harm you are doing to TW
spinsanity> it is my goal that u will have the same passion about the topics i bring up at the place i bring them up at i dont care about TW this is more important
Ephemeral> exactly my point...that is exactly ur agenda this is NOT why ppl play this game
Ephemeral> if anyone wanted to here this kind of info they wouldnt be looking for it here
spinsanity> well.. i hope u pay attention to politics more closly
Ephemeral> i am 45, i have some worldly experience. i have been quoted by both Wall Street Journal and Barrons in the last year. Yet, i dont feel the need to force my opinion's down other ppl's throat.
Ephemeral> What have you done in terms of experience or reseach into the topic you keep trying to influence ppl with?
spinsanity> next election i hope u realize that it will be a important one
spinsanity> then u know that media is slanting info more now than at any point in recient history
Ephemeral> if you understood the political system in the USA..you would know that by simply writting letters/emails is FAR more effective way to bring change
spinsanity> i do that too
Ephemeral> i would also recommend that you consider joining special interest groups that suport ur views
Ephemeral> and makes tons of money so you can support those who share ur views instead of spending time in here spamming ur inflamatory opinion
Ephemeral> once again, spamming a 2d space game everyday is wrong
spinsanity> if you be a republican.. surly u see that bush is harmful more than any other prez that i can recall.. so destuctive, i question if america has a chance
Ephemeral> what i think about that is not important we are discsussing what you are doing to this game
spinsanity> i hope u see that the ideas of bush are fascist ...not conservative
Ephemeral> sigh fyi i have voted in every election since 1974 i have voted for all kinds of ppl and parties
spinsanity> i hope u see that manipulation by the white house and the media (to the degree that is being practiced) is destuctive to america
Ephemeral> i do my homework....and this does NOT include listening to political opinions in a 2d space game
spinsanity> i hope u vote for ANYONE but bush and his ppl next election... i hope u see how distructive to america he is...
spinsanity> i hope its not too late
Ephemeral> do you believe in gays, religious groups, etc, getting in your face at an airport and trying to promote their views?
Ephemeral> 99% of ppl do not want ppl in their face with their views
spinsanity> i hope u see how that the war on terror is a sham
spinsanity> i hope u see that american agression is increadably dangurs to america ... and to the world
Ephemeral> sigh i hope that as you grow up you will mature and understand that we must respect the other fellow's political, but only in the same sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.
spinsanity> my complaints are infinatially more important than the issues u raise
spinsanity> i have NO respect for fascism
spinsanity> fascism is exactly what im fighting
Ephemeral> what makes you so sure that you are so right?
Ephemeral> how can you sit there...at 17 years of age and have all the answers?
Ephemeral> why dont you quit playing this game and run for office, write a book, get all your solutions published so you can solve all these issues?

He left at this point. I've had staff look into this issue and they see what he is doing. The staff told me to stop whining and to "put him on ?ignore". I took this to mean that that they don't care. I fully understand that limiting free speech is not something that anyone wants to do. But this is much more than that, this is hurting the game.

This is more like television 2 months before an election, political commericals pushed in our faces every 2 minutes.
This is more like joining a local basketball league and having some Hari-Krishna person confronting the players in the middle of the court as they try to play. The staff thinks that simply ignoring this person is the answer? No, get him off the court and let us play. This isn't about free speech, this is about someone who admits they are intentionally trying to disrupt the game.

I literally laughed my ass off here.

Suggestion: He tells everyone political views in his macros, just make one that's

Attention public- please type ?ignore spinsanity at this time. Thank you.

And put it out. Geez. I bet the child doesn't even know how to hop arenas.

[death row]

Eph, the best way to go in this situation would be to ?ignore him. Because if you give him any attention, he will continue doing it more. That goes for everyone. People like that thrive for attention, and when you acknowledge him he won't stop. Personally I just put those newbies on ?ignore and go on my way.
