Scumbags of Wulfram II
|
There's plenty of jerks who play Wulfram II. They usually don't
play for long, though, because the community doesn't tolerate people
who are deliberate assholes. However, there are some twerps who
don't understand that they aren't wanted.
Route666
- This is a sad example of someone who doesn't even play the game
much but spends his time being a complete jerk. Oh, there are
times when he seems to cool down a bit and not deliberately go out of
his way to piss off the staff of Wulfram II... but his periods of
maturity don't necessarily last for long. He persists in the
community to this day largely because he has a few people fooled into
believing he is being unfairly treated by the Wulfram II staff.
Yeah, he should never have been banned despite
his repeated hints at how to avoid a ban, his 7 known handles (probably
many more), etc. Never deserved a single ban at all, nope!
He's also got an ego a mile wide that only
seems to grow every year. In his eyes he is pretty much superior
to everyone around him, and will occasionally drop how large his IQ is
(anyone that depends on an inaccurate measurement of intelligence can't
be that smart), how great he is at Wulfram, and how much everyone else
around him is worthless... particularly if you are an American!
Mecha
- Once counted as this author's friend (I wised up), it didn't
take him long to earn a ban due to his idiocy and drunken
rampages. This little 13 year old (who looks 8 years old) is an
example of what bad parenting can do. I imagine he'd have turned
out shitty regardless, but where are his parents? Are they too
busy swimming in booze themselves to notice they're raising a
belligerent juvenile delinquent?
As with Route, this little tyke has lackeys
who defend him without having any idea of what an idiot and complete
jerk he is. They only know the story as Mecha tells them, not
even blinking when they get the most unbelievable story sent their
way. He's not the one being
unfairly treated, it's the
Wulfram II staff who have to spend time out of their workday locking
his posts and deleting his new accounts that are being abused here.
danny5700 - He quickly became infamous, and still
is. Why? Christ, ask someone else... there isn't a person
who has encountered this youngster who doesn't have a story to
tell. Or try playing a game from him if he's ever not
banned. Picture an angry 11 year old with kindergarten level
typing skills and reading comprehension, at least. His father,
while much more civil, can't type any better than his son. I
still have doubts they aren't the same person.
Micah
- This person's appearance on this list is the most tragic of all,
which is probably why this will be a very long entry. Once a
remarkably dedicated individual, who showed incredible patience in his
dealings with even the most annoying/idiotic players in the game, who
was able to express himself in clear concise and short statements... he
is now just a big bully. This player isn't quite at fault,
although I hold everyone responsible for their actions. In order
to manage the pain he lives in, his doctor pescribed him methadone
which is basically a heroine substitute. Within a week or two, he
immediately began to provoke players and insult them, finally making a
public apology and stating he was quitting his position as Head
Moderator.
He did not remove himself from his Head
Moderator position, and continued to use his power and general be a
menace to players that, while jerks, were mistreated. He also
began treating me with contempt, and even embarassed a fellow staff
member (one of my trainers) by publicly criticizing him on a public
forum. I called him on it, and he didn't think he did anything
wrong.
He did eventually remove himself from his
position and made another public apology in his announcement post, but
maintained a position as forum MOD (according to him, it was because he
made an agreement of some sort with the administration). He would
frequently, and irresponsibly, post gigantic rants in a thread then
summarily lock it (something I began to do before demanding my position
be removed as I had requested. Rants then locks are not
acceptable forum MOD behavior, only a quick 2 sentence reason should be
given then a lock).
To this date (4-1-04), Micah continues to be
confrontational and angry, claiming that everyone around him is doing
wrong and that his shit doesn't stink. With a small amount of
regret, and no small amount of vindication, I add his name to this list
of shitheads that ought to be removed forcibly from the
community. Many folks defend his actions, saying all his hard
work entitles him to being an asshole... I am not one of them.
I've got plenty of personal reasons (like him constantly addressing me
as "HG" when I tried to change my name for privacy, even going as far
as publicly mocking my decision in one thread), but he's up here
because of his highly negative impact on the future of the game despite
all the good he did for its past.
"I
don't like this about the game, so I'm going to be an asshole till it
gets changed" - Sorta self explanatory. Basically,
these guys are real happy with Wulfram II until they want to see it
change rapidly into something better. At first it starts with
large and long-winded posts on the forums, or on a website, then it
degrades into routine insults laced with "suggestions". Any lack
of support from ANYONE in the community, especially the staff of
Wulfram II, is someone beneath this person's notice or stupid or
doesn't know what they are talking about. Frequently these guys
also
start to label themselves as "hated by the mods", when they are most
often just ignored and make little difference in anyone's life.
They completely forget that this game gets worked on for about 2-3
hours a week (a safe estimate, could be more, and for periods of time
it is probably frequently less) and that Slurpy has his own goals and
is entitled to ignore other people's uninformed opinions about his
games.
This list will be routinely updated, or I might just create an entirely
separate section. Go ahead and e-mail me names you feel should be
added. It can't just be anyone you don't like though... they have
to be pillars of shithead goodness.
