READ THIS AT LEAST, IF YOU'RE GOING TO IGNORE THE EDITS: I've taken this thread as a success. Even though I abandoned my english major for greedy purposes on my 2nd year, I still love creative writing as a hobby and reaffirmed myself and my ability to draw emotion from my readers while putting up a convincing story. If you noticed the many plotholes in my story before reading the edits, I applaud you. If you've read the edits, but still hate me for making such an evil narrative, then you have my apologies. If you still deny that this is fake and refuse to check the proof I've given you, then you're just an idiot ;) So my friend and I were doing lv35 PoE with this random. The random guy sounded pretty young but at least he wasn't constantly talking. He did ok, and even though he died a lot, but we made it to round 5, right before Skolas. At this point, my other friend joins the party chat and asks to join in. I told him we were already full and didn't want to kick the random. Then, we finished round 5 and headed back to the airlock. Now, on non-solar burn Skolas, my friends and I always do an initial "super and special run". Where we just run out and mess around until we fill up on supers and special ammo. This time I didn't say anything about it though, and we all ran out to the left, killed the servitor, and the random started sniping Skolas while my friend and I poked at Skolas with our Words of Crota. Then, the random asked why we were just using unmaxed handcannons. I was gonna tell him we were gonna wipe anyways after we got supers and ammo, but then I had an idea. I told him that we didn't have any void snipers or heavies, and he was shocked and almost angry at the same time. He raised his voice and asked us why the blam didn't we have void heavies at least, and I told him that we were so used to solar burn and just Gjallarhorning every single boss that we didn't think we would need to keep void weapons, since Ghorn usually works. Now, he starts pulling out his ghost and says "Wow, you're blaming kidding me." He immediately left the game, but stayed in party chat for about a minute, cussing at us and telling us how we wasted his time and that we sucked for not being able to use anything but Gjallarhorn. Then he left the party chat, we put on our void snipers and heavies, invited my other friend, and proceeded to kill Skolas on our first try. What do y'all think? Was I a dick for kinda tricking this guy into leaving? Was he a dick for abandoning us right away just because we said we didn't have good void weapons? EDIT: Since people don't seem to approve of this, I'll admit, this never happened and I made the whole thing up (You can check my games if you want, I haven't played with randoms since early crota and VoG. The only time's I've ever done PoE is through 28 matchmaking or with my clan.) To be honest, I just wanted to make another thread called "you activated my trap card", but couldn't come up with a story to match it. EDIT 2: In case anyone wonders why I wrote this even, Well I like writing for one, but also because people believe this stuff so easily. Some of you recognize my name from a bunch of trending threads in the past (like the amazing crucible story, the one where I ran into school mates in a random matchmade strike, or the vault of glass one with my dismantling my gear to fool them into a "secret chest"). All of those were completely made up (although people liked those more) and y'all bought them like hot cakes. Did you guys really think someone would leave right away if you tell them you're undergeared? Did you not question how "the random" didn't notice us using good gear for THE ENTIRE FIRST 5 WAVES? EDIT 3: What I meant in edit 2 was that I write these to entertain and for likes. (obviously this one wasn't taken as well). The post I referenced in edit 2 was back when I made a thread with a story of how I went into a tiger strike with randoms and they ended up being a girl who went to my school, and a neighbor. Completely bullshit, yet it got several hundred likes and everyone believed it. I tried for another post with this thread (and will no doubt make more stories in the future), but it didn't get the same recognition as the last few. [quote][/quote]
