[i]tl;dr: fifteen-year-old kid harasses a twenty-seven-year-old woman over a single trials loss. It's not very effective[/i]. Hanging out with friends, finding it hilarious getting wrecked by people in ToO, just kind of hanging around getting stomped and blaming Red for everything. Also getting the occasional kill and feeling like a total BAMF for all of three milliseconds. Red goes to bed, Greg starts looking for others. Greg goes off to do Greg things, cool, got random getting antsy in party chat, but he's talking over msg. Can't figure out why, but I'm generally just happy that he can hear me. Do some doubles, watch rando curbstomp people mercilessly and just gawk in shock and awe of his performance. (Also occasionally make some kills and still feel like I'm actually making some progress.) Rando says a buddy wants to join. Okay, that's cool. Do some trials. Doing absolutely terrible on my end, but the rando and his buddy are actually holding their own. Win a match with some hard effort on their part. Next match goes straight to a smoking hole in the ground, and suddenly, I get salty messages from rando's buddy. Apparently I'm supposed to pull some skill that I clearly don't have out of my rear end and man up. I scoff, continue to do what I want to do because it's not going to make a difference either way. Lose match. Rando's buddy starts sending outright abusive messages. His vocabulary is all of four curse words, "stupid" and "shut up". Booted from fireteam for literally no reason. Rando apologizes for his buddy's behavior. I'm puzzled by aforementioned behavior. Casually mention to rando that I'm messaging back in a slightly not nice way, and apologize for being rude, but assert that I'm just holding my ground because his buddy is clearly overreacting. I never said I was good, after all. Get asked for Skype handle, give it, thinking that rando must not have a proper mic. Probably actually the case, as rando isn't actually a canoe of the vinegary cleansing product variety. Realize that rando's buddy and some other disreputable individual are in Skype chat, and have been listening to me talking in party chat the whole time. Abuse continues. Argue on and off (about whether or not I am broke, fat, ugly, or a prostitute) for the better part of forty-five minutes or so, then relentlessly annoy the antagonizers with proper English and general chipper attitude until Greg finally reappears. Rando's buddy clearly can't figure out how Skype calls work, and can't figure out how to remove me from the call. Ignore them while they screech relentlessly in the background, and generally have a good time with Greg because Greg is good people. Sarcastic, but still good people. Rando finally hangs up for his buddy, since the big baby is not getting the attention that he desperately craves in order to tsoothe the hunger of his tiny, fragile ego. Rando apologizes again, and I assure him it's all good, no harm, no foul... Hopefully, at least. Finish bounties with Greg and Red the next day and giggle about sweaty children thinking that they are absolutely the coolest thing since sliced bread. Oh yeah, and blame Red for everything. [spoiler]Edit: So apparently this is trending now? What is my life? This post... It's getting out of control. I am both horrified at the sudden spotlight and amused by the sheer creativity of some of the stuff I'm seeing here today... Though there isn't even enough salt in this comment section to season a batch of mashed potatoes. I still love you all, regardless.[/spoiler]
