barbecue at the folks
Jul 20, 2007


KM talking herself up with a sock puppet was the most amazing poo poo and possibly the funniest thing to come out of the whole meltdown. Part of me still refuses to believe that anyone would really stoop that low to win an amount of power over a dead & gay comedy forum but here we are

edit: went to dig up the old thread and can't stop laughing at this

What other good alt account scandals have we had? I feel like there's been some but I'm drawing a blank. Reminds me of the Msscribe saga but that wasn't anything to do with SA.

fishmech used to kickstart arguments in threads by arguing with their alt to spur others into joining

Fishmech was an artist and their medium was pedantry and arguing on the internet.

I honestly respected fishmech's commitment to never giving an inch in any argument, and also never ever getting tired of arguing. It was an incredibly enraging combination.

Nah you get the boss to 1hp then it smiles and morphs into fishmech as the health bar fills all the way back up. Oh and it's the secret final boss you have to do a bunch of sidequests to get to.

They were prolific in SH/SC, I think they did gamesposting as well.

Fishmech may well be the most annoying / tedious person I have ever interacted with, but the Fishmech as an artist post has me thinking.

If you define skill as an artist as the ability to make others experience emotion, then Fishmech was an artist and their medium was frustration.

I'm about 80% sure on this but someone can correct me if I'm wrong: the two main goons to found BnR were CB and Smarxist, the latter of whom left in a giant huff, making sure to call all the mods "bootlicking thugs" on his way out.

Within weeks Smarxist lost a power struggle to CB--which is impressive in a way, because CB was a top tier insufferable poster--and returned here to settle back in C-SPAM. He's likely on an alt now as people would routinely reply to every one of his posts with the "hasta siempre bootlicking thugs" goodbye message.

Anyone got a link to that thing where someone posted supposedly looking for an artist for their webcomic, and it turned out they were a deeply weird person with an obsession with some defunct webcomic? Shredded Moose or something like that? It involved a goon artist, an OC who dressed like Frank N Furter and I think it was related to the Goku's pants thing?

Once a while ago met a someone away from the forums, discovered we are both goons and I mentioned that for a while I was locked out of even seeing D&D. I got asked if I was Fishmech and I had to make a double or triple take on whether I had done things very wrong or very right.

These two things get mixed up a lot because they happened like 2 months apart at most, but KM and CB didn't have anything to do with BnR, that was made by Benghazi (formerly Dickeye) with help from smarxist, Zyla, and a couple other cspam people because of the bad response to the PPJ fiasco, Benghazi getting permaed by him for dubious reasons, and a bunch of cspam users being mad at mods for a variety of things.

The only relation between the two things afaik was Tashi helping out with bnr because she had already left SA over the fyad stuff, getting made a mod, and then almost immediately getting shitcanned for being a sex pest in the goon FFXIV discord.

Smarxist quit because one of the other BnR mods gave him the equivalent of a sixer for being aggro about ideological disagreements and then something escalated in back channels and he had a meltdown and came back to SA to get perpetually owned by arfjason. Benghazi stepped down later for ??? Reasons

I think I got all that right?

Oof, must be hard to take considering he hides in CSPAM all the time being on the 'right' side of the dogma line. Being outgrouped must really freak those types out. Politics has been reduced to cliques complete with bullies and the bullied. It would be funny but I fear this shitshow is actually mirrored in real political circles. No wonder everything has gone to poo poo and is getting worse.

I think it went well beyond that, and was hopefully just a gimmick account.
