The Sound of Silence

Come on people! Why so quiet?

Three whole days and nobody's done anything. Sure there was a stupid section-protection from Elliot the Thick who evidently can't understand the concept of dynamic IP addresses and we've had the usual Welcome Spam from ^CEshe^V but beyond that, almost nothing.

Timenn, the Last Good Administrator, chipped in earlier with a slew of good edits (although WTF was this one about? The edit summary of "Why do you disagree?" doesn't seem to make sense) but otherwise it's been too quiet. Come on people! Surely it's time for EtT to fuck up another template?

That's two more nicknames decided: LGA for Timenn and ^CEshe^V for Eshe (since 95% of her edits involve copy/paste or existing templates). My lucky off-the-cuff name for Rpeh - The Great Deceiver - strikes me as pure brilliance so I'm sticking with that. For Nephele I'm going for The Pious, since she always had a More Wiki Than Thou attitude that couldn't have been more annoying if she stood next to you and sang off-key Bee Gees songs into your ear while you read her self-absorbed, overlong posts. She's been quiet recently though. Since she's so obviously after a place on the MediaWiki development team, there may be scope for a more appropriate name there.

That leaves just G(?:uild)?K(?:night)? in the admins (Wrye, if he deserves a mention at all, will get "Monkey Man"). I'm not sure what do with GK so suggestions are welcome. Nothing too insulting because if it wasn't for Timenn, she'd probably get the LGA nick.

After that there are the quartet of new(ish) patrollers: Krusty, SerCenKing, WGB and Dlarsh. All four seem pretty decent so far, although you have to worry about Krusty's OCD. Suggestions welcome there too.

  1. As a big fan of King Crimson, if you want to call me the Great Deceiver, that's just fine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Deceiver_%28King_Crimson%29

  2. Hi, Daedryon. Imma gonna let you finish, but first: I created a an ED article about UESP for the lulz. Perhaps you or someone else reading could add more lulz. Here's the URL: http://encyclopediadramatica.com/UESP

  3. ED doesn't have lulz. It's a hate site for racists and homophobes who wouldn't recognise humour if it introduced itself to them.

  4. Why So Serious? Loosen up. The Internet doesn't have to be serious bussiness.

  5. It doesn't have to be a home for bigotry either.

    I'll insult people for the actions they take and the things they do, but ED's insistence on insulting people for the colour of their skin or the people they're attracted to is nothing but sick.

  6. ED isn't about racism; it's about creating Internet Drama; hence, the name "Dramatica". They achieve drama by using "troll" humor.

    Since you're being so dramatic, you obviously fell into ED's trap (just as planned). There's racism in there to provoke your reaction.

    Do you watch South park or Family Guy? If so, then you're a hypocrite, since shows like thoses are filled with racist jokes. If you don't watch them, then you are being too serious.

    The fact that you still don't get any of this proves that you don't have any life.

  7. No, MDS, that was the original intention. I used to contribute when that was the goal. Since then it has been taken over by actual racists and actual homophobes.

    Apart from anything else, there is simply nothing on ED that is funny in any sense of the word. It's written by people with the intelligence of ten-year olds FOR ten-year olds and it shows.

  8. Wow, well said. There isn't any way I could fight against the that. Congratulations, you've achieved an epic win.

    PS, it would be easier to judge your character if you stop doing all this anonymous stuff. What do you have to lose? Do you have something to hide?

  9. Why should he tell you anything? Do you want to ask him out on a date? Jeez!

  10. I was always told never to date strangers. They may rape and kill you. So yes, a name would be a good start. <--sarcasm
