Title: RootRanger the NoobRanger
Post by: shockcannon on May 11, 2019, 05:07:06 am: Come fight in fire trials you noob. I won't even ban a single card against you. 5-0 easy. RNG won't even factor because our skill gap is so wide. You'll burn so brightly because of the dumpster fire noob that you are. I'll be sure to bring my sunglasses for the match, but I won't be needing them for long after your legacy is extinguished. :P You better show or I'm going to start calling you ScaredGirl.

Post by: shockcannon on May 11, 2019, 06:31:17 am: How dare you. I'm making an ult account to play in both. Ban me if you want. I'd like to see you try. AFK council holds no power over me.
Title: Re: RootRanger the NoobRanger
Post by: Linkcat on May 11, 2019, 07:04:34 am: Winning two elements in the same trials, and 5-0 without using all your bans? Sorry, Root already did both of those things.

Personally, I would love to see you get slaughtered in two trials at the same time.

Post by: shockcannon on May 11, 2019, 07:15:55 am: What element you trialing for? I'll make it 3. You'll get slaughtered so badly people won't even be sure if you were killed. They'll start calling you SchrodingerCat. NoobRanger had pitiful competition. When I crush him 5-0 what will that say about me?

D2D is a living representation of the feeling you get when you're playing monofire and run into bonebolt and the opponent bottom decks bonewall and you still lose.

I'll have you know I finished first place in Championship League, and I've been involved in numerous secret PvP Duels against Team Aether, and I have over 300 confirmed victories. I am trained in upgraded warfare and I'm the top player in the entire forum. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the zanz out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my zanzing words. You think you can get away with saying that zanz to me over the Internet? Think again, zanzer. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of veterans across the forum and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're zanzing dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can defeat you with over seven hundred different decks, and that's just using Mono Fire. Not only am I extensively trained in unupgraded combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of Team Fire and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little scaredgirl. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your zanzing tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you godzanz idiot. I will zanz fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're zanzing dead, kiddo.

Malicious is not the word I would use either. Toxic is more fitting.

I'm not a fan of turning this into a toxic community.

That is true, all right. I'm just not into trashtalk, let alone excessive trashtalk. If you are better, go on and win. If not don't bother the opponent.

Post by: JonathanCrazyJ on May 12, 2019, 10:12:58 am: tbh, toxic is a really harsh word, so i'd rather not agree lol. Toxic is actively forcing a community apart, this is good natured, clearly tongue in cheek. You can find it irritating but it's a personality trait, not something that is in any way toxic. Calling someone toxic when they are clearly just a) having a laugh and b) actually being active in promoting more players to come back / engage is really harsh imo

Opinions can be different and that is fine. The community is already divided on this. I have seen other people reporting this topic on the day it was created, so it's not like there is only one appropriate way to respond to this.

Title: Re: RootRanger the NoobRanger
Post by: Linkcat on May 12, 2019, 05:25:01 pm: First off, when spamming tab and enter to get through shock's mountain of spoilers, doing it one time too many will hover and select the report function, which is likely the cause of the reports that Sub saw. I know this at least happened to me and dawn.

Now, a lot of people have memed in this thread, but a lot of people have taken it seriously, so I am also going to take it seriously and address the concern of toxicity. When determining whether something is toxic or not, you have to consider the intent. Let's examine the thread.

The title is "RootRanger the NoobRanger". This is humorous just on the face of it. Everybody knows that Root is one of the best players to ever spin the Oracle, so calling him NoobRanger is funny because of how ridiculous and childish it is.

The thread is aimed at RootRanger. Root has always joked around a lot, and he himself has more swagger than most, so you know he'll just roll with it. If it was aimed at someone like majofa, this thread would be a bad idea, but since it's Root, we get a beautiful navy seal copypasta.

The thread was posted by shockcannon. You don't even have to look at the author to know this. Just by reading the title you know it's a shockcannon thread, because he's the only person on the forum who would post something like this. This is because he has established a character for himself. Shock does not legitimately believe that he is a stronger PvPer than Root, even though he will likely respond to this post saying that he does. Shock would get creamed by Root in any trials, everybody knows this. That's what makes it funny.

The intent here is not to start conflict between community members, it's not to brag, nor to belittle anyone, it's not to cause hard feelings or bring negativity into the community. The intent is to create a spark, to excite and entertain. I personally have gotten a lot of entertainment from this thread. There have been some great posts. It's interactions like this between our diverse playerbase that make this forum what it is. We have here such a wide range of people in every characteristic you can think of, and all of these unique personalities come together to form the Elements Community Forums that we know and love. Everybody has something to offer. I think that we as a community should come to appreciate more what people like shockcannon, Manuel, and even CrockettRocket bring to the table. Yes, shock does go overboard sometimes. I myself have gone overboard a couple times with my mafia persona. Yes, Manuel has a very disrespectful tone, but he usually has a valid point he's trying to get across, albeit in an extreme way. We're not all going to hold hands and sing Kumbaya.

This thread is a great example of what I love most about this forum, but also of how divisive we can be. Over the years I've noticed that we have a tendency to take things more seriously than we really should. I think this is because we've all invested so much of ourselves into this community, and we don't want to see it tarnished in any way. Sometimes, we just need to take a step back and remember what we're all here for.

This is not real. This is a character on a forum. This is a newer player engaging with an older one in the only way they know how. This is the quality content that only shockcannon can provide, and I appreciate that.

If you really believe this then you don't know who I am. I'll see Root in trials if he's not too scared to join.
I know I'm technically proving your statement, but that doesn't make me wrong either.

Post by: immortal feud on May 12, 2019, 10:06:32 pm: lets not entirely dismiss shocks pvp ability, skill ceiling is low enough on this game and shock is competent enough that he could win. That said if he dosent ban firebolt he is 0-5 hopelessly lost already

Post by: Blacksmith on May 12, 2019, 10:45:52 pm: I change my stance. Normally this type of talk is a problem. But when it's directed towards someone who dosen't take it the wrong way and know how to respond it's okay, and sometimes entertaining.
