Payback's a Bitch, or When the Staff Got Theirs

[Raistlin]

As some of you may know, Monumental Breakdown in Staff Protocol Day is named after a quote of mine as I was arguing heatedly for days on end in the legendary 2005 April Fools prank by the staff, which was targeted largely at me. Well, this year the tables were finally turned. This is a little story about revenge (http://raistlinknight.livejournal.com/130364.html).

I know many of you weren’t fooled by my antics in Feedback leading up to April Fools, but the prank was not targeted at the regular members anyway; you all only saw a tiny portion of the full story. As the above LJ entry (which was locked until April Fools) states, I and a staff member sought to prank the staff. I actually did post porn in a post I like to call “History of Hypocrisy: EoFF Porn Throughout the Ages,” (http://forums.eyesonff.com/2816177-post12.html) with pictures that got people in trouble, one even banned, many years ago (the original post was deleted; I reposted just the text). However, I coordinated the posting with my staff insider, who deleted it immediately.

There was heated debate in the staff forum for days about whether to permaban me or not, and I was drunk tanked for three days as they deliberated. I was not banned, though I probably was going to be had the debate continued. I was still locked out of posting for a few days, but it was a price I was willing to pay for glory. From what I heard, the argument raged rather heatedly in staff, and the balance turned from at first not wanting to ban me at all to most staffers eventually concluding that I was going to be banned for at least some period of time.

A lot of the staff argued for my banning, but I was not worried – and not only because it was just a prank, but because I had a champion. This staffer argued passionately for hours on end for my salvation. She would not let me go without a fight, and a brutal fight it was. She did not have much logic on her side, but she had feelings which a decision to ban me threatened to destroy forever (or two years, whichever came first). When pressed for her true motives for defending me, she had this to say:


I would feel guilty and I would miss him. THERE I SAID IT.

I would miss you too, ShlupQuack. And I am so grateful for the defense that I am putting that quote in my sig. Forever.

The prank was an absolute and hilarious success. My partner and I revealed the truth to staff last night in a Private Feedback thread (my partner’s request -- not my idea), so unfortunately you guys all missed the cussing and tears and threats of violence. For the record, the first words Shlup said in response were “Oh thank god.”

I would also like to give a warm thanks to my staff cohort: the one-and-only Del Murder. He did not just delete the porn post, but also helped set me up with arguments about the CK competition and in my Feedback threads. And at first when it looked like the staff would be too wussy to ban me, he came out arguing hard for a ban to liven the debate, which eventually sparked into an all-out argument that lasted for days. He helped make this prank the glorious success that it was.

This thread is for discussing the staff’s utter humiliation. Feel free to mock them appropriately.

[Shlup]

I would like it on the record that I did think you should be banned for a short period of time, I just like to come into negotiations low balling.

And shut up.

ETA: The staff's April Fool's planning thread should be released tomorrow. I'm censoring it now and then it'll be locked away for a few more hours while others double-check it.

[Freya]

Shlup the Duck up? :D Uh good job wes?

[Jiro]

Like I told Kaycee when she showed me the link.

Fucking Wes, he's goddamn badman. Good show.

[qwertysaur]

So that's why Del was banned

Edit: please tell me it's an accident that all the admins minus Lynx Ranztien was no longer admins

[Raistlin]

Shlup's original response to this thread:

Speckled Don Key (1:37:02 AM): I hate you.
Speckled Don Key (1:37:05 AM): So, so much.

But we all know that's not really true, Shluppers!

[qwertysaur]

She likes to argue with you. Without you, she might get bored and teach orphans latin or something

[Shlup]

IGNORING YOU FOREVER, RAISIN.

Edit: please tell me it's an accident that all the admins minus Lynx Ranztien was no longer admins

I was in the middle of fixing things. All better.

[G13]

Holy :bou::bou::bou::bou:! You are a god damn genius!

[qwertysaur]

I'm not underlined and you don't have italics for your name. Fix this travesty :colbert:

[Goldenboko]

Haha. This was an incredibly good prank. Near perfection. Why? Because being that it was around April Fools, it was inevitable that people would think it was a prank for a moment, however said prank thoughts would have slight doubts because, well, people would search for ways it would tie in with the Staff Prank. Inevitably giving it legitimacy, because let's face it, the staff and Raistlin, working together?

Your only one flaw, next time you make a LJ about things, keep it a closer tucked secret. I found out about it. I'm like, on the outer edge of the rumor mill, which means it had to have gone through at least 5 other people first. Surprise thread ruined. :( Other than that, I applaud near perfection. *slow clap*

[qwertysaur]

I found out when Shlup posted in your private feedback thread

[Shlup]

I break things; fixing them is BoB's job.

Oh, it was a tight-locked secret for over a week. Right around one day ago I opened the LJ entry in order to show the staff in a Private Feedback thread. I figured some people might hear about it a little early, but for the most part a 9-day-old LJ entry was not going to be noticed, at least for a while. Perhaps I underestimated how quickly word would spread, though I was originally planning on making the thread earlier today anyway (but delayed so as not to interfere with the Staff's shenanigans).

[Marshall Banana]

Well, in that case, I gave the staff a clue in the Private Feedback Forum, and I didn't even know it!



<img src="http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m285/fofonda/eoff/interesting.png" border="1" />


I thought I saw you and Murder messaging each other while I was investigating the "Who's Online" list some days ago, but I just assumed that he was encouraging you to argue on behalf of all the staff.

[-N-]

Didn't think I'd get to say this before kicking the bucket, but thank you Raistlin.

[Goldenboko]

Rumors are like fires. Look away from them for a moment and your fucking toast. :)

[-N-]

And Del Murder too. Jesus that is now two inconceivable events just realized!

[NorthernChaosGod]

I... didn't actually pay attention to much that was going on.

[Shlup]

Well, in that case, I gave the staff a clue in the Private Feedback Forum, and I didn't even know it!

I saw that too! I called Del on it but he said he was giving Raist a warning for re-opening his Feedback thread. That bitch!

[Raistlin]

Marshall Banana: "something like this doesn't really work without him." xD Haha, yes, it is traditional, though my LJ has not been the hotspot for EoFF drama for years.


Didn't think I'd get to say this before kicking the bucket, but thank you Raistlin.

You're welcome, Neel. :p


Rumors are like fires. Look away from them for a moment and your smurfing toast.

Yeah I didn't really think a whole lot about making this thread. My whole focus was on the staff (notice how I didn't really bother to do much spreading around info that I may be getting banned), and so the public reveal was always a secondary consideration -- because it was not the public I was trying to trick. Next time I'll keep everything under a tighter wrap. :p

EDIT: Shlup, yeah Del said you caught us, so we switched to email for the rest of it.

[TheAbominatrix]

Wes, you are a total ass. Good for you! I was really hoping you had some sort of motive for acting like such a sandy vag, cause it was getting real sandy in there for a while.

Mandee is cruelest to the people she loves most, and she's far far meaner to you than she is to me xD. You should be proud!

[Raistlin]

Wes, you are a total ass. Good for you!

This made me laugh.


Mandee is cruelest to the people she loves most, and she's far far meaner to you than she is to me xD. You should be proud!

Oh I am!

[Rodarian]

You mean to say all of this was huge prank.....:colbert:

*casts Grand Cross on everyone*

Raist , shame shame on putting Shlup through pain!!

[Jessweeee♪]

So everyone is super buddies after all :</>D?

You certainly did a good job with creating tension!

[Levian]

Definitely got me fooled there, prankers got pranked. I argued for not banning you permanently (or rather 2 years) and wanted to settle for a year because of the circumstances.

[Crop]

I didn't even know what was going on, just seemed a lot of CK's, admins and Former Staff's were losing and gaining their rank back. I suppose it's because I don't know any of you though.

Eh, I only post to see the sound of my own voice anyway...but without the sound.

[~*~Celes~*~]

:nonono:

[Rebellious Eagle]

Wow, you sure got me. I really thought everything was real. But then again I haven't exactly been here long enough to know who's the trickster and who isn't. :/

[Psychotic]

That's the last time I argue not to have you banned. :colbert:

Besides, I had your back in 2005. :(

[Aerith's Knight]

I guess this means I can't use "wessing" in a sentence anymore.

[Lawr]

Hey you guys forgot to unban Tama2.

[Mo-Nercy]

Let me tell ya, you had me going. I was reading your threads in Feedback thinking "Raist is really going for the world record for the biggest metaphorical hole one can dig himself into."

I'm glad your plan didn't go pear-shaped and you weren't banned (for a long time, I meanz). And the whole thing did make for a good laugh. It was real soap opera/court room drama stuff. Well done.

[oddler]

Raistlin, since when do you make thread titles like The Ceej? :choc2:

[Quina]

I'm so glad you aren't banned Raisin. I was so worried I had lost my appetite and couldn't eat for...minutes!

[Raistlin]

That's the last time I argue not to have you banned. :colbert:

Haha, I did hear you were on my side. But I was not given any amusing quotes about you really loving me, so you don't get sig space. I know that's what you're really mad about.


Besides, I had your back in 2005. :(

Yes, but you are one of them now.

[Iceglow]

To be fair, Raist and this is the gods honest truth and Psy knows it because he was chatting with me during my post of the wall of text. We both knew that you were up to something, experience of seeing you in action means we weren't sure what but we knew something was going on. Therefore I decided to do what I love to do, troll the trolls. I saw you and PuPu going on at it and decided that I'd have some fun with you. Firstly I posted including your names but immediately edited the post so I removed them I figure PuPu saw the post as did Fonzie however the entire post as I am fully aware you understood was a giant trap to get you two to admit you were trolls. You artfully didn't bite on the line there though which was wise. PuPu sorry but you bit hook line and sinker :P

[Psychotic]

I didn't know he was going to post sodding porn though tbf to the man.

[Iceglow]

That is damn true, you get my kudos but I thought I'd give you the reason for such an obtuse wall of text, normally I just go in there like a corn thresher.

[Raistlin]

Iceglow/gnaw: My entire strategy for realism was just to pretend everything was deadly serious. It was a lot of effort at times. However, not to take away from your ingenuity, but before the porn post I'm sure a majority of the Feedback readers, including staff, thought I was just screwing around. I'm pretty sure most of the staff were "on to" me at that point. But that did not harm my plan at all, because that was only the setup to the prank, as Psy eloquently states:


I didn't know he was going to post sodding porn though tbf to the man.

Haha, yes, that was the entire point of the porn post: no one would have been expecting it, and even those certain I had been pranking before would be thrown for a loop, and would be forced to take it seriously. The prank didn't really give the staff any choice.

Del originally suggested I just post a random porn picture, but that was not artful enough for me (and just way too unrealistic). If I was going to do it, I was going to do it right. So I tried to be as realistic as I could given that everything I did was obnoxiously ridiculous to begin with.

[PuPu]

PuPu sorry but you bit hook line and sinker :P

I'm not exactly sure what you proved by making a wall of text, but if it helps your ego to say that you trolled me, go ahead. Your wall of text didn't really do anything except get me to respond with a few lines of "lol no"

Protip: 99% of the time, self-admitted trolling are attempts to save face.

[Cuchulainn]

I missed...basically...ALL of this & am struggling to care even now. I see PuPu got upset again at something though.

[Shoeberto]

That's goddamn hilarious. I didn't think for a second that you actually gave that much of a :bou::bou::bou::bou: to debate legitimately over that stuff, but I really thought it was something staff coordinated with you. That's pretty great.

Honestly, I'm still not even sure what the staff's April Fool's was. Between this and the CK stuff it was such a confused clusterfuck that I'm still just kinda like wut. Good job.

[PuPu]

I see PuPu got upset again at something though.

What you're saying about me right now is not that different than what Quin was saying about you, a while ago.

edit: If Raistlin was doing all of this as a joke, and the staff knew it was a joke, does this mean that the CK competition was also a joke as well?

I was doing all of this as a joke; the staff, however, did not know it was a joke; but yes, the CK competition was part of a staff prank, which I just went along with as part of my own prank.

Thank god.

And here I was feeling sort of guilty for thinking I helped prevent certain CK contestants from winning. :(

[Raistlin]

I don't know how I missed Hsu's comment earlier.


That's goddamn hilarious. I didn't think for a second that you actually gave that much of a :bou::bou::bou::bou: to debate legitimately over that stuff, but I really thought it was something staff coordinated with you. That's pretty great.

I was amused how many people seemed to think I was in on the staff prank. In hindsight it was inevitable.


Honestly, I'm still not even sure what the staff's April Fool's was. Between this and the CK stuff it was such a confused clustersmurf that I'm still just kinda like wut. Good job.

The fake CK competition and the fake resignations/firing of tuh were the main two. The latter was underwhelming for me, but I was amused by the CK competition.

[Cuchulainn]

Except if you read on you would have realised I was not actually upset at anything.

Do you have trouble reading words? I'm no more upset than you were during that time when you were arguing with Quin. But if you're going to assume that I'm mad the same way that Quin was assuming you were mad, have fun being wrong.

I still don't know why Lightening was banned and I want to know why/who's second account it was. :(

[Loony BoB]

Shlup unbans you and stuck your thread? Man, does she know she's not supposed to be feeling guilty anymore?

[Levian]

Oh that was me. I couldn't keep away from EoFF for over a month, so I posted as Lightening ever since I "left"

[demondude]

Oh. xD I really liked Lightening.

[Loony BoB]

Lightening was pretty cool. But then, that's because Lev's pretty cool.

[Raistlin]

Why is my thread not stickied? This is the most important thread on EoFF right now! :mad2:


Shlup unbans you and stuck your thread? Man, does she know she's not supposed to be feeling guilty anymore?

She didn't feel guilty; she just recognized the awesomeness of the prank. I actually told her to sticky it as a joke just to bug her, but she actually did it and now that means it must stay that way!

[Meat Puppet]

So... this was all a ploy to get Del Murder banned? Excellent.

[theundeadhero]

This was awesome. If I hadn't of gotten the inside over before it was all over I would be laughing the hardest right now.

You should sticky my thread again. And put a link on the frontsite and at the top of the forums index. You can do that, right?


So... this was all a ploy to get Del Murder banned? Excellent.

As mad as Shlup is (or appears) at me, her true wrath is for Del for giving me the quote in my signature.

WesM 118 (1:53:21 AM): Haha, I like how Del is still banned.
Speckled Don Key (1:53:27 AM): I do too.
WesM 118 (1:53:44 AM): He told me days ago that you were never going to forgive him for sharing that quote.
Speckled Don Key (1:53:53 AM): He's a smart man.

EDIT: I love how people do things I say jokingly. Someone should give me money!

[Pheesh]

This is so awesome!

Tell us about the time you tricked the staff again :hyper:

It depends on how you look at it. Are Superman and Clark Kent really the same person?

[Miriel]

I love him and everything, but I will never forgive Del Murder for this.

[Dignified Pauper]

This is the silliest thread EVER.

[eestlinc]

This is the best of Del's various secret pranks on the staff, by far.

[NorthernChaosGod]

I think I just may like the aftermath and the thread about the prank even more than the prank.

I like seeing Shlup's human side.

[Shlup]

mmmm, Del Taco.
Ha, I'm eating Del Taco as I read this thread.

I love him and everything, but I will never forgive Del Murder for this.
He didn't let you in on it?? Ahahaha

I like seeing Shlup's human side.
WTF is that supposed to mean??

[NorthernChaosGod]

That I <3 you and think you're pretty?

[Madame Adequate]

I don't get it. :confused:

Aside from the Shlup admission, that I get, and I do adore it.

[Raistlin]

I love him and everything, but I will never forgive Del Murder for this.
He didn't let you in on it?? Ahahaha

Del told me he did, so I can only assume she means helping me is unforgivable.

[Shlup]

I put the staff's planning thread in the archives.

[Goldenboko]

That was a great read, only because I got to laugh at the mass amounts of censorship xD

[qwertysaur]

I'm happy Zeromus is still a knight :)

[Raistlin]

The Planning thread is entertaining as always. Best parts:


After reading all of these posts about people trying so hard and stuff, I now realize that these people are going to kill me. Why did you guys let me do this?!


At this point we can basically blame Raistlin for everything. smurfing harpie.


You're free to do your little grandstanding or whatever it is you and Amanda like to do to keep the spice in the relationship, but when a moderator closes your thread, it's for a reason and you don't reopen it. I left it open for now for her to do what she wants of you, but if you try that crap again we will strip away your Former Staff title and force you to watch a topless BoB do a belly dance.


They're onto us so now we act like 'tards as planned imho.

I say "they", Raistlin sure as smurf isn't. He is such a dumbass xD He's so convinced he has drama to get his teeth stuck into that he doesn't see what is going on around him.

Unless he realises and is playing along and in which case fair play. Although maybe he has some plot of his own in mind. DON'T. TRUST. ANYONE.


Oh my God.

Maybe he's not April Fooling. That was a bold move right there.


When you make these kind of AF jokes, you have to understand from the beginning (and accept) that people will inevitably end up pissed off. You also have to understand that Raistlin will always be involved.

[qwertysaur]

How was the belly dance Raistlin :bigsmile:

[Psychotic]

The LJ entry Raistlin made about this is also pretty funny as all his oldbie friends are just like "What the fuck was that. :colbert:" at him and I know he cares more about what they think than what any of us think. D'aww. :love:

[Raistlin]

Nah those two can be annoying whenever EoFF is mentioned, though I will say that Doomy had some of the best final threads in EoFF banned member history. Very informative, too!

Though you're right that I don't care what you think. :colbert: <- first time I've ever used that

[Jessweeee♪]

Shlup did you just *snip* a few unnecessary things to confuse us D:

WHAT WAS AROUND IN THE 1960s I HAVE TO KNOOOW

[Quina]

Too bad the member who made that quote is now banned.

[Raistlin]

Shlup told me after she censored everything that she gave it a few hours for other staffers to censor what they wanted. I wouldn't be surprised if some of them decided to censor random things just to confuse people (I'm looking at you, Psy).

[qwertysaur]

It would be funny if for a page he censored the word "the"

[Shlup]

I censored the perfect amount, and then a few more people went a little batty.

I did do the censoring around the thing from the 1960s though. Some of our conversations, like that one, were entirely off topic.

[Tavrobel]

I suspect I know what the censorship from around Valentine's Day was all about. You guys were hitting on each other pointlessly. Much too off topic for a prank-planning thread.

[Del Murder]

It was never about revenge for me, I just wanted to prank the staff. In 2005 we pranked the members pretty good; they deserved a turn too. Being a thorn in the staff's side for many years, Raistlin was obviously the best tool for the job. He also deserved some revenge after being targeted so vehemently in 2005. He played his part brilliantly, a performance worthy of rivaling Big D's in 2005. Like I said before, when you do something like this, he almost always needs to be involved, on one side or the other.

It was all in good fun and nobody got hurt. Happy April Fools everyone!

[Shoeberto]

I did do the censoring around the thing from the 1960s though. Some of our conversations, like that one, were entirely off topic.
I'm pretty sure I know what was discussed with that, and it makes it funnier to read realizing how everyone is reading it without any context and is totally wtfin'.

[Peegee]

I just hope nobody gets banned for good this time. Last time we had some casualities I wasn't very happy about.

[Shlup]

Nope, no real bannings.

[Madame Adequate]

I'm going to spam pr0ns everywhere and YOU CAN'T BAN ME BECAUSE IT WILL BE A PRANK :smug:

I have outwitted you all.

[Dignified Pauper]

I was raped by CKs was the best poster this place ever had.

[Flying Mullet]

Sorry bro, but that was pretty weak.

Shall I update your custom title to 0 out of 3?

[Peegee]

Sorry bro, but that was pretty weak.

Shall I update your custom title to 0 out of 3?

Seconded.

[Raistlin]

I approve of Mullet's suggestion.


I just hope nobody gets banned for good this time. Last time we had some casualities I wasn't very happy about.

It sometimes felt like forever!* I was drunk tanked for 3 days and banned for about 12 hours.

*not really

[NorthernChaosGod]

Wtf is drunk tanked? o_O

[Psychotic]

Get drunk and then repeatedly post on Eyes on.

You'll find out.

[NorthernChaosGod]

I already post drunk, I'm just not obnoxious. :colbert:

[qwertysaur]

Drunk tanked is when you can't post but you can send and recieve mognet messages. :zombert:

[Raistlin]

Wtf is drunk tanked? o_O

It's a very temporary ban. From what I remember, it originated when HOOTERS would get drunk and make a zillion threads on EoFF (hence the name). More often nowadays, it's been used to keep very worked up people from doing something stupid. Apparently it's also used as a sort of limbo while the staff decides whether to ban someone or not.

Unfortunately the drunk tank usergroup does not have its own title, which is a problem that demands immediate rectification. The usergroup should also be forced to have an avatar of some wasted guy.

I fully support this. If TAP wins the election, I will push for this to be implemented.

[Raistlin]

Well if it was never used on him, how would any non-staffer have known about it then? :mad2:

Fine, it was first publicly used and thus part of staff policy because of HOOTERS. It's always about HOOTERS, to some degree.

Uh, yes, someone not on staff at the time.

Sorry, but the drunk tank is nothing we want to encourage.

REALLY??

Nah I'm kidding Raistlin you're alright. That word just always looks so weird. Like non-congressmaner or non-presidenter.

[Levian]

At least he doesn't capitalize the S in staff.

[Raistlin]

Why would anyone do that? Unless they're talking about the specific forum, in which case it would be capitalized (like "General Chat" or "Lounge").

Oh, I know. I was being facetious based on my boring stint there.

[Levian]

I was taking a stab at Loony BoB who does capitalize the S in the word staff, but now that I ran a search on him it seems he's quit doing it. I.. I don't know what to say :( end of an era.

[theundeadhero]

The drunk tank did used to have a title but we took it away so it wouldn't encourage people :p

[Raistlin]

I doubt it would really encourage anyone. Though seeing that title on someone might well spark a thousand questions from curious members just about someone who is drunktanked for a night, so in that sense I understand the lack of a usergroup title.

I still do it sometimes! I'm sure I do. Probably in chat and stuff. I capitalise a fair few things, mind you. I am, after all, a capitalist.
