-The following is my opinion, and does not represent the the thoughts of the PlaneShift Devs, GMS, or players that were not directly involved in the events..
Greetings fellow members of PlaneShift (no, we don't call ourselves PlaneShifters). I would also like to extend a greeting to Somethingawful's 'Goonsquad', who have been visiting us for the past two weeks.
For those of you who are not familiar with Somethingawful (SA), they are a web site dedicated to making fun of everything on the web that they can. In this case, PlaneShift has been selected for the MMO Roulette. Here is an explanation of the 'game': http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2677443
And the result: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/mmo-roulette/index.php
Basically, they take a game and make fun of what makes it what it is, and the community that supports it. Think of it like a Celebrity Roast, if you would, or more like getting 'punked'. This has made for some very amusing articles. I particularly liked the 'Moooooo'ing in Endless Forest. Classic. I was expecting an equally amusing set of pranks and article for PlaneShift, but it seems as if the goon squad has run into some problems.
First off, they picked a very bad time to troll PlaneShift. We just released a new update, as most of you know, and some of the new code is causing some unforeseen and hefty problems with installing and running the game. Sorry, SA, but such is the case when you let people play a game you are still making. Khad, buddy, your articles are funny as hell most of the time, but you should have done a bit more research on the stability of the game so that more of your people could actually get it up and running.
A second problem has cropped up for the SA trolls. I think Khad himself puts it best.
Khad- Oh christ after taking 20 minutes to make a drat character and his entire past, you go to the tutorial area where you have to communicate with NPCs ala Everquest 1 and actually try to figure out what they want to you type to them.
What Khad and Co. have discovered is what I have started calling the troll firewall. It tends to quickly weed out those people with ill intentions who have little patience, short attention spans, or -well- less than average intelligence who tend to think 'quality' trolling is hopping into a game for five minutes and tossing about some lowbrow humor until they get banned. I believe that is what the crack about Khad's short attention span was about. I am glad at least some of the folks have endured the 'tutorial hell' and a few quality trolls have made it in. Really, you just have to read what the NPCs are telling you, or use the walkthrough.
Ok, to those brave souls who have made it into the game, bravo! You are one dedicated bunch of trolls. You have passed the Trials of the Updater, leaped the Pit of Bugs, survived the depths of the Cruel Creation, and defeated the Tutorial Chamber of Terror. Welcome to... the middle of nowhere. Not a soul is in sight. Where are you? What are you doing? A read of the Settings would give you the basic idea, but not much more. Well, since you are a troll, I guess that does not matter much. On to the trolling... if you can find someone to troll, that is. Most people are off in the more interesting spots, and your personal middle of nowhere is not one of them.
The trolling I have seen so far has been... lackluster at best. Maybe the folks are just worn out from their encounter with the Quest of Actually Getting into the Game. I have personally met two trolls, and got the best of both of them. One was actually proud of his "Give me QUEST" routine, but I had a better "I r a n00b" to counter.
Shredded says: Hi.
Kunevie says: Heya.
Shredded says: give me quest
Shredded then tried to trade with me. Wrong move, SA troll. Let me show you how it is done.
Kunevie says: Sory. i hit wrong button. can you tr4de me agin?
Shredded says: how to TRADE
Kunevie says: i jus start. how you go sideways?
Shredded says: how to START GAME
Kunevie says: how start guild? u know?
Shredded says: How to UNSTICK
>Shredded Wheats thanks Kunevie Luenew!
-He then ran off. But you can not escape so easy...
You tell Shredded: i find pm! we can talk far now.
You tell Shredded: u know how 2 start guild like Wow? my mom wont buy wow 4 my no more.
You tell Shredded: were u go? we cn buddy up an kill mobs?
You tell Shredded: u can here me?
Shredded tells you: give me a quest
Asiliy shouts: Who loves beer? I do I do!
You tell Shredded: ok i give you 1 when i find 1
You tell Shredded: how u talk 2 npcs in this game? abut stuff dont work.
Shredded tells you: 011010100011110100101
You tell Shredded: i dont no biari
You tell Shredded: i know a littel java.
Well, he stopped responding to me, so I handed him off to a GM, informing him that the guy was a troll from SA. It did not take long for him to get a namechange and talk himself into a ban. I'd like to quote Khad again at this point.
Khad- Thank you so much for doing some of the best trolling I have ever seen in the MMO Roulette.
The best? Come now. That was average at best. You need to raise the bar on your sense of humor. Both myself and the GM knew the guy was a troll, and were just toying with him. He was way too obvious. Next there was 'The King' (name removed), who I was not sure was a troll at first, but suspected it. Having found the first encounter amusing, I moved in on this new guy, once again playing the complete noob. In doing so, I not only gained his trust, but our entire group led him around by the nose for a few hours, keeping his trolling within our 'unsuspecting' group. We did kill him once in a funny "The king is dead. Long live the King!" act. I killed my own character as well to follow him into the Deathrealm to keep up the newbie act. Once he got back out of the Death Realm (about half an hour later, with me hinting the way) the group was going to kill him once more, but I finally let him in on the joke after he tried to warn me that the group was going to kill him again. I am not without mercy.
You tell 'The King': Ready for this?
Kunevie bows to 'The King'.
'The King' tells you: Yeah.
'The King' says: We do not want something awful to happen here.
You tell 'The King': You have been played.
'The King' tells you: No $@!$. It was fun though.
You tell 'The King': We knew you were SA from the moment you spoke to me yesterday. ;)
You tell 'The King': I have been playing PlaneShift for four years now.
'The King' tells you: Really? Good for you. As I said though, it's been fun. I didn't suspect you, though, because you're so small.
Fun indeed. We had a fun time with 'The King', and welcome him to return to the game whenever he wishes. Khad did not seem all that happy about one of his own getting played, though.
Khad- Anyhow, any community will get together to kill someone who annoys them so its not that surprising.
Annoy us? So far the trolls have been pretty amusing, actually. Like watching rats run in a maze, then removing their cheese just as they get to the finish. There is a down side to this (or an up side to some folks). Some of the trolls have given up and made new characters after being sent to the Death Realm. Others never made it in the game at all. Most of those that do make it are quickly snatched up by GMs. Most players have not even noticed the trolling being done, and some of us were actually looking for it. To bad we don't have 'mooo'ing.
All said, PlaneShift is a pretty hard nut to crack. You have to have patience to play, I'll be the first to admit that. My advice to players who find themselves being trolled is simple. Don't get upset or argue. That is what they want. Have an amused moment at the attempt, send a report to your friendly neighborhood GM, and move on. Unless you want to toy with them a bit first. Personally, I have enjoyed pitting myself against the trolls of SA, and making them play our game, not theirs. And always remember...
Don't feed the trolls. Feed them to me. ;)
ps: Looking forward to the article, Khad. Should be amusing. We know our flaws, and have the ability to laugh at them. For a game built on a $0 budget in our free (and not so free) time, we are doing a hellova job so far, bugs, borks, difficulties, missing features, and all. There is no other project like PlaneShift out there.

/me lols and bows to the great Moon
Seriously though, I wish I was there to have seen this actually happen, that would have rocked. ;D I always seem to miss all the fun stuff ingame these days...pfft
-
Hehe well done Moon!. Wish could of seen this happening, would like to see them get imprisoned or robbed by the night rogue and see how they react to that ;D
-
Ahh moon.. It all sounds hillarious! Tutorial for the win \o/
-
Hehe, it sounds like we're annoying them far more than they're annoying us ;D
-
I read their "review" and thought it was pretty funny. We creep them out :D
-
Hehe, it was quite amusing to hear about the events from both points of view (I read their thread (http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2919963) about it as well). I was impressed by the lengths you guys went to play that last guy :D
Should be interesting to see what their review is like.
-
hehe, i've already tricked two trolls into the death realm and then creepily followed another around for half an hour without saying a word. they are fun.
-
It's already online, Beniel. Here: http://www.somethingawful.com/d/mmo-roulette/planeshift.php
-
Aww, they gave up before the deadline. I find it interesting that Khad was unable to make it out of the tutorial, despite citing the tutorial for the tuturial several times. :P We got a -10 on the creepiness scale. Doesn't that mean we're completely uncreepy? Overall, I was a little bit disapointed in their roulette. I see better trolls walking through the tavern sometimes.
It looks like they're going to do Runescape soon. A team of trolls would be unable to troll as well as a standard player.
-
xD
Yeah, -10 means creepy I think.
-
Pretty pathetic roast, if you ask me. I thought the idea behind SA was to find lame things and exploit their weaknesses. Instead they are examining everything with a view towards making it appear as though it were lame, regardless of whether it really is or not. And if it isn't, then they resort to injecting some of their own lame behaviour to try and prove their point. Weak. Just weak. ???
-
I dunno, I found it a pretty funny review :P
-
I smiled.
Especially at the screenshot. poor guy must have had nothing else to live for anymore. ;)
-
Oh, this review is so funny. So blatantly displaying ignorance, intention, mental deficience and predjudice! Even two pages full of fan art instead of any real review content. Yes, it is one of the worst reviews written ever. In german: a "Rohrkrepierer" (barrel burst).
\\o//
-
I'm all for a good roasting now and then. But at least make it creative. This came across to me, not as "How bad does this suck?", but rather as "How lame can we act in-game and get away with it?". You can read their research thread here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2919963 (http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2919963)
Btw, I agree with LigH: a real "non-starter". ;)
-
I like how Khad doesn't mention how one of his goons actually enjoyed the game. And yeah, it does seem stupid and malicious to "review" a game by seeing how they react to trolling, but I guess we shouldn't expect mature behavior from someone who's avatar is a vomiting banana. Either way, no harm done. Well written Underthemoon, and I for one am pretty proud of how we handled this.

Hey, we only got -50 - that's better than most of the MMO Roulettes I've read. :P
I had a brief encounter with one of those trolls, I think. When he mentioned something about bathing in blood, my immediate thought was, "Oh god, SomethingAwful's found us", thus I laughed when I noticed this thread. I'll admit, I get a giggle some of SA's articles, but the MMO reviews tend to be pretty lame.
Good job handling those guys. Hopefully we don't get more trolls, though. Also, had I not already been convinced that every game should have a tutorial that requires heavy reading, I would be now. >>;
-
Very well done UtM. :)
I thought their article was kinda pathetic... I mean, the reasons above, but also the fact that he posted a whole page of lame trolling and a guy acting like an idiot.... >.>
Perhaps they would've just done best to not review PlaneShift.
(Hint for SA: TROLL BETTER.)
-
Some people only look for the bad things in everything. I think noone should give a sh** about opinions from such people. I do not even pity them for their destructive attitudes. Let them continue to declare things as awful and leave them alone. I do not know such people who play Planeshift. Why bother?
-
He forgot to mention that the "self-aware AI" is open source.
-
Well well, I see Khad wimped out and posted his review two days early. I was not aware of it yet when I wrote and posted mine. I had mine written half a week ago as a 'progress' report on the trolling so far, but got too busy to make final edits and post it. Anyways, I just sent Khad an email I would like to share with the class.
Hello Khad. I see you posted your article two days early. I must say, you should have spent those two days revising it to make it a bit more, well, funny. You came off as a crybaby who could not get the candy he wanted. I'd like you to have a look at this thread for our 'reactions' to your trolling:
http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=33367.0
Frankly, we owned your ass. I did notice you neglected to mention that some of your 'trolls' actually had fun playing and roleplaying, and have returned to the game to play, rather than troll. They might even become regulars. Your MMOroulette has the smack of EPIC FAIL on it this time. But, I assume your pride will not let you link to that thread in your article. You do not like the idea of your people getting bested at your own game.
Am I angry at your article? Hardly. I find it just as amusing as watching your rats run our gambit. You came off as pissed and whiny, rather than amused at the pranks you were playing. You really put a poor effort into the entire thing. We got the jump on you this time. Maybe you should come to us for pointers on trolling your next game. We did have something else planned for your goons, but since you wimped out and posted your article early, we had to call it off. Even Induane was in on it. Would have shown your lame trolls how its done.
Anyways, hope you do better on your next roulette. Cheers!
ps: Even more amusing is the fact that Talad (Salad to you) was on vacation this entire month, and will not get back until the end of the month. Perfect timing. You really put it to him.
Hell, we even beat him in article 'funny'. I give Khad and Co.
-10 in effort for not trying hard enough.
-5 in funny for being vaguely funny, but not enough. It might have been a +5 if Khad did not get a -10 all by himself.
-20 in intelligence for not being able to come up with much more than the typical lame trolls we get every week, and for not being able to get through the tutorial even with a walkthrough. Would have been -10, but Khad adds an extra -10 to that for being their leader, and not making it in himself.
-15 for originality. Khad and Co. used pictures of us making fun of ourselves for his 'fanart' pictures. Brilliant. Just post the link to thread next time.
-20 for Timing. This is the final nail in the SA coffin. Not only did he decide to review the game during a rather buggy release (which could have been found out by looking in the forum), he started it while Talad was, and still is, on vacation. Bravo!
-70 in all. All in all, a really dismal and disappointing outing.
-
You mean they truly were Something Awful? Perhaps then it WAS a success.
-
All in all, a really dismal and disappointing outing.
Says it all really, go UTM \\o//

UtM, you rock ! ;D

Eh, what done is done. They had their "fun", so did you. Forgive an forget and all that jazz imo.

Forgive an forget and all that jazz imo.
No, I say we go to #peragro on Freenode and slap Induane whenever possible. You forget he called you a furry, but then again I hear you have IRC-phobia anyways. Oh, and for everything I did concerning this, you're welcome.

Also, I think I should say that MMO Roulette has its own IRC channel, called #mmoroulette on irc.synirc.org which is 18 and over. I have been lurking in this thing since the third of August, and let me just say that it is very inactive. Also, I've never seen them talk to each other; the only time they've ever engaged in conversation on that channel is with one of us. Heck, I don't think Khad even knows this IRC channel exists. I don't even think Khad knows what IRC is.
But alas, when one of them does show up in the channel, I either talk to them or I assist them with the installation (I assume they all use Windoze). One exception is what I did with this kamoc guy, which was absolutely nothing, mainly because I've interacted with him the day before and I didn't want him figuring out that one of the NPCs he interacted with was smart enough to leave the game and come directly to him on IRC and give advice. This is the same guy that Khad used in his review, the one who couldn't get out of the Death Realm. I am leaving the timestamps in this one to show you guys when this happened.

Sticks and stones.. sticks and stones.
And if I'm ever needed on IRC, I can be, except if I'm at work, as they have decided that employees should be working at work, rather than being on IRC chatting. :)
To me, it was just a silly article and while it was amusing to egg the SA goon crew on for the time they were here, it's over and I just think it's time to move past the incident.
-
Not true Neko, this isn't over until the 16th. Until then, I intend to have as much fun as possible with these people.

Here is vannaka's brief encounter with a rather obvious troll... (i think its like kamoc or sumthin... that one that pretends ppl are npc's)
I've edited out all the unrelated chat due to its length, and added a few things like <this> to explain what was happening that chat doesn't explain on its own. Enjoy.
(19:58:24) Seenor says: give me a quest
(19:58:37) Vannaka says: I have a quest for ye
(19:58:44) Seenor says: what

((19:59:55) Seenor says: what do you want me to do
((20:00:08) Seenor says: ?
(20:00:11) Vannaka says: I want you to kill yourself, and find a better use of your time
(20:00:21) Vannaka says: You seem the type of person who has nothing better to do
(20:00:21) Seenor says: um...dude your playing this game too
(20:00:29) Seenor says: so don't talk
(20:00:40) Vannaka says: [talking about trolling tard]

(20:09:30) Vannaka says: So have you found a quest yet?
(20:09:38) Vannaka says: Oh did she?
(20:09:43) Seenor says: yes
(20:09:52) Vannaka says: And what is it that abelia sent you for?
(20:09:58) Seenor says: for the lulz
(20:10:20) Vannaka says: Oh, in that case i have a few simple instructions for you

(20:12:13) Vannaka says: would you like me to lead you to the lulz, sir?
(20:12:16) Seenor says: how farest thou
((20:12:37) Seenor says: what is lulz, my dearest friend?
(20:12:55) Vannaka says: Abelia wants them, 'tis your quest
(20:13:07) Seenor says: oh
(20:13:22) Seenor says: where is this lulz at, Sir Vanneka
(20:13:26) Vannaka says: Would you like me to take you, sir dermorian?
(20:13:34) Seenor says: why, surely
(20:13:40) Vannaka says: Please, follow me
(20:14:50) Theive says: Vannaka can you take me to the lulz?
(20:15:13) Vannaka says: Of course, i'm already headed that way
(20:15:57) Vannaka says: Are you coming sir?
(20:16:09) Seenor says: what shall i behest upon thee?

(20:19:23) Theive says: [you have to tell the npc " i hate you right'?]
(20:19:58) Vannaka says: this is the lulz pit
(20:20:19) Vannaka says: Talk to the lulz with the large hammer, he can help you
(20:20:19) Theive says: are they save Vannaka ?
<Vannaka changes to a bloody stance>
(20:20:31) Seenor says: foul knave, you betray me!
<Seenor has been Killed by Vannaka>
(20:20:43) Vannaka says: lulz

(20:21:20) Vannaka says: [haha, that was great]
-
Haha! That was a good one Vannaka. Wish I could find the quest to search for the lulz.

Thought I would mention that this thread has successfully made it into Khad's review (http://www.somethingawful.com/d/mmo-roulette/planeshift.php?page=6), and he has even given us avatars. Also I know this isn't really news but Khad still has no idea what IRC is.
What I really don't understand is how he can say that the game "sucked so much ass" and also claim that terms like "epic fail" and "we owned you" are off limits. Khad has really discredited himself on this one; seriously I was expecting something more funny.
-
Hehe, they actually believe that all Planeshift players look like that? Well looks like they need to do a little research themselves.
-
Huh, I thought it was kinda funny... it = the trolling, overreactions, trolling of the trolls, self-humiliation, etc. Khad's right about this being a lame game, though. It does suck. But that leaves room for improvement (and epic lulz, AKA this), right?
/me marks this as the official highlight of her day, sitting on the sidelines eating peanut butter, whilst cackling at teh f00z.
-
Today's ROFL-AWARD goes to UTM & Co.
It's like watching a bunch of clowns get smacked down by a SWAT team. XD
-
(20:17:37) Seenor says: how farest art thou lulz
(20:18:05) Seenor says: answer me, knave! <------------ <he's talking to a dead dlayo>
I lol'ed ;D. Vannaka, you so cruel! :P
And the whole thing with SA was freakishly ridiculous :lol:. I really needed a good laugh \\o//

Apparently, Khad considers everything up for a hearty slagging except SA. ;)
The stereotypical "avatars" bit was a nice attempt at snaching a win from the gaping jaws of fail. (I admit, the one he used for UtM made me chuckle. Mine, on the other hand, was so utterly ironic that Khad quickly had me once again laughing at him instead of with him.) Too little, too late, I'm afraid.
-
(http://i.somethingawful.com/u/khad/MMO_Roulette/hatemail4.jpg) :
:P
I read some of his other reviews. I feel cheated. Some games saw incredible trolling. We could have gotten something brilliant, something amusing. Now the only amusing thing here is how pathetic the attempt was made, how whiny the article is, relying on all of the information gathered by 2 trolls, one of which had a good time. Maybe, some day, we might get a revisit if we just hope hard enough...
Neko, don't worry, this won't be hard to move past, since nothing really happened. If anything, we gained a player!
-
Vannaka, you almost made me wake my housemates up, I was laughing so hard at that.
-
Thought I would post my Kamoc log here, Kamoc is Ledrye after he got renamed from Toyboat Toyboat and right before he took the screenshot of himself (that is now in the review). This happened on August 2nd and he had just walked into Kada-El's Tavern, and I knew this was from Something Awful long before he exited the tutorial world (the name Toyboat gave it away).
>Tuxide Mudslayer looks curious.
Tuxide says: May I hope you?
Ledrye says: yes
Ledrye says: abeila sent me
Ledrye says: give me QUEST
Tuxide says: sorry, don't know her.
Ledrye says: help
>Tuxide Mudslayer looks around, confused.
Ledrye says: anyone know what do say to this npc?

I had the option of killing him before he took that screenshot but I chose not to and went fully defensive instead. Soon after he signed off, I was told by a GM that I should've punched the guy in the face.
As I said before, I'm also the NPC who knows how to use IRC, but sadly I don't think Kamoc ever figured that out when we were together on the SynIRC channel. Also, I have news on this part:
Heck, I don't think Khad even knows this IRC channel exists. I don't even think Khad knows what IRC is.
Apparently his mom came into his basement and taught him how to log into his own IRC channel soon after I posted this, but she didn't get as far as to show him how to op himself. Anyways, Khad did sign into his #mmoroulette channel on SynIRC, and he spoke with us for about a half hour about tutorial world, Lowtax, and how serious his review is, and then he left. He said this was the most active his channel has ever been.

Heh, check their thread tux, Khad has somthing to say to you :whistling:
-
Could you link that? I couldn't find it. :(

Ok then, people, it's been fun, but I'm going to lock this thread now. We've had our fun I think, and their's no sense in keeping a thread open that promotes the hating of another group of people, imho.
For those still interested in this epic waste of everyone's time, here is SA's article for PlaneShift

Thanks to all PS members who put up with the SA trolls, and thanks to SA for giving us a few laughs and then reviewing the game with a completely messed up point of reference. You could not have done any worse, really.
Lets forgive and pretend like we forget :)
