Failure of PN’s rumored friday griefing raid causes super hero to wax poetic

[GreenLantern Excelsior sent this tale of online heroics to the Herald offices via the mojo wire saturday, with a note saying "I was inspired to write this after the big PN raid last night ended up fizzling like a wet firecracker". Is the heroic epic poetic tradition is being updated for the new media? -the Editrix]

The Wreck of Operation Battlecruiser

by GreenLantern Excelsior

The Great PN Raid of November ’07
Was planned to be vicious and mean,
With sim-crashing style,
And “lulz” by the mile,
The worst Second Lifers had seen.

The Green Lantern Core and the great Justice League
Were prepared to observe and report.
With their shields charged to max,
They’d AR the attacks
By the griefers they’d promised to thwart.

The Lindens were ready, their steely eyes steady.
The Grid was in perfect repair.
At the first sign of trouble
They’d move on the double,
Protecting the residents there.

The sim owners, managers, vendors and guests
Were unsure of just what to expect,
So they locked down their sims
And inspected their prims
And security they double checked.

The day came at last, and the griefers moved fast,
But anarchy failed to ensue.
Lack of participation
Was SL’s salvation,
So PN’s big plans all fell through.

A couple of longcats were all that we saw,
And a singular Shiny Fun Friend.
With a scroll and a click,
The cleanup was quick,
And Friday night came to an end.

Now somewhere the griefers are vicious and keen,
And cunning and ruthless and smart,
But the Second Life kind
Are the ones we don’t mind,
For their plans always just fall apart.

So my friends, just remember sixteenth of November
Two thousand and seven the year.
With its Battlecruiser,
PN was the loser.
We winners have nothing to fear.

    “Keep dreaming of the day we aren’t there to ruin your second life.”

    That kinda reminds me of that furfag that didnt have to interrupt his furfagottry yiffing.

    He will remember 11-16-07 as the day he got fucked by a fox, not by PN. This, will not do.

    I ised to hate PN. Loathe them. With everyt lulzcube, and every post by them on this newspa… sensationalist rag, I had a lot of trouble not just going over to 4 chan and 7chan and fill their imageboards with I dunno, furry porn.

    But, I read a little something, and not being an art history major but having had art history classes in the past, I agree with the writer of the piece.

    Here’s an excerpt:

    “When someone from 4chan or somewhere similar cube-bombs SL, don’t take it personally. Don’t
    lash out at it as an abomination against your Gorean Furryhood. It’s just anti-art. It’s anti-SL, sure. SL is founded on the principles of art, expression, and cultural harmony.
    Dadaists would not be amused, and would have cube-bombed SL just as much. Not because they hated SL, but because they could, and someone had to be against the idea.”

    Here’s the link to the full article. Bit old, don’t blame me for not running into it earlier :)

    http://www.lordfly.com/wordpress/?p=268

    Now, I don’t get angry or ‘butthurt’ anymore. I started lurking on the chans even, and every time I see a lulzcube on SL, I just smile and continue my buisness. Someplace else then, the screaming is never pleasant ^.^

    Hi, my name is Squeeks and this thread sucks dick.

    @PN: A new super griefer group really needs to appear on the grid and put you n.igras in your place as to how fail you’ve become lately. I saw some of your old videos and they were great. Too bad they all got deleted and all that is left is your shitty new ones.

    @JLU and GL: You’re all tards in spandex.

    @Fat purple dickgirl and deadlycodec: KILL YOURSELVES FOR THE BETTERMENT OF HUMANITY.

    Also, cocks.

    THIS MESSAGE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE DQN ELITEST SUPERSTRUCTURE.

    Read that Wikipedia article completely. Dadaists were artists. They wrote letters, poems, and novels, published magazines, wrote music, and made speeches. Griefers are vandals who attempt to make Second Life unavailable to its intended users. In fact, that’s one definition of a Denial of Service attack, which is a crime. Wikipedia says:

    “Although the means to, motives for and targets of a DoS attack may vary, it generally comprises the concerted, malevolent efforts of a person or persons to prevent an Internet site or service from functioning efficiently or at all, temporarily or indefinitely.”

    People are earning actual money in Second life. Denial of service attacks are expensive. So, sim-crashers, welcome to the wonderful world of court appearances, orange jumpsuits, cavity searches, and playing drop-the-soap with your cellmate Bubba. Some of you may learn, perhaps involuntarily, how to make that little “eep!” sound without the benefit of a high speed Internet connection and a preprogrammed gesture.

    Pleasant dreams!

    “This is as my Master told it to me and now I tell it thee.”

    You and your “Master” are no better than those furfaggots. That RP “oh spank me harder master, make me cum” bullshit is almost as disgusting as fucking yiff porn. In fact, I have seen the two combined, and I have not been able to scrub it out of my memory. You are a shitty excuse for a person, and you are not even allowed to be on our side in this argument. Go fuck yourself.

    ‘WOW! 10 WHOLE sims you crashed!??? Amzing? Out of what…. 20,000 now? That is an incredible attack. These griefers are nothing but social misfits in the real world, the kind of losers who don’t get prom dates and have no real loves, so plan these “attacks” in SL. Get a life losers.”

    “The n/igger dagger squad gon git u, ye, dey goan get u.”

    Uh yeah. The “n/igger dagger sqaud” can’t even speak English let alone get me. Nor do they have the guts to even post using their own names. I suppose mommy or daddy would ground them though if they got caught, or more likely, since they come from poor homes, are at the public library planning more “epic” attacks before they have to go to detention again.

    What losers.

    PROTIP: Griefers and channers,etc,etc have been saying stuff like ‘also,cocks’ long before I ever appeared plus I am fine in the PN and have no reason to invest time in some non existent faggot group called DQN something or other.

    @Furry PN Fan: There is nothing in the Dadaist canon (should that be anti-canon?) that is similar in intent, form, or content to a fucking lolcube. The uncanniness of dadaist work derived from its apparently irrational provenance (Bicycle Wheel?). Sadly, the “why for” of the griefer is all too mundane, all too easily explained. Geez, if we are going to draw facile connections between historical movements and the antics of the mediocrities in the PN, why not just call them fascists and be done with it? The hysterical hatred that led to Kristallnacht seems a much closer fit to the PN’s MO than Paul Klee’s Twittering Machine, ffs!

    The problem is that people who fancy themselves educated believe it is a testament to the grandness of their intelligence that they are able to discern similarities; alas, truly deep thinking reveals a world composed entirely of difference. A better (yet equally wrong) candidate group for “dadaists in SL” are the ageplayers. Ha! Chew on that.

    I think there used to be griefers with a statement before, who acted the way they did because they wanted to add the absurd and the bizarre and make sure people didn’t take Second Life seriously. It seems to me that these people were slowly weeded out by people who are simply just griefers who are only doing these things because they want to offend people and break things for whatever reason.

    I understand the whole dadaist argument, and I can see that to an extent with some of the older behaviors of what would be considered griefer groups. But bombing areas with particles and grey goo replication boxes to crash the sims isn’t an artistic statement. It’s simply a denial of service act. But there CAN be Dadaist style performance art in Second Life that does look something like Griefing. Look up Second Front, they’re a group that does performance art in Second Life that kinda looks like griefing, except without all the crashing sims and purposefully offending people.

    Ahhh, hiding behind the anti-bourgeois skirts of Dadaism, post-modernism and the like. As if Sponge Bob and projectile diarrhea particle spam were profound intellectual statements.

    Most of these ADD kids wouldn’t know Dadaism if it hit them on their noggins.

    Where is the antiwar message? I see none, and instead I see provocation of some sort of hoped for class war. It just doesn’t jive at all.

    Then again, nothing they do jives with any counter-culture philosophy (claimed or otherwise). It’s more like “I am unhappy and feel powerless in day to day life, so let’s run game on some people who have committed the sin of having fun.” I know, it just kills you people when others have fun, probably because you’re miserable and depressed. Sorry about that, but its not our fault. Maybe you should blame mom and dad’s lazy and likely alcoholic genes?

    *chews on it, but doesnt agree…*

    Looking at where the PN come from, 7chan and 4 chan, and the images you find there, it’s easy to see the comparison with the mona lisa with mustache.

    Also, it may seem as if the PN do this all out of a deep rooted hatred for furries, but that isnt entirely true, proven by the fact they target not only furry sims, and the little known fact that a large number of PN and /b/ members *are* furries. So comparing their actions with the Kristall Nacht is a bit much… would be valid if a large number of the Nazi’s were in fact Jewish themselves.

    Sure, not all of them do it as a kicking back against everything we love about SL, like the Dardaists did, and some really are so retarded to do it purely to want to destroy out of hate. But seeing what they accomplish, it’s a lot more like an anti-art group of artists, then the Nazi’s from 40-45.

    At least the Nazi’s were effective in what hey wanted to accomplish. Most the PN can pull off, is down a few servers that can easily be restarted, they havent been able to permanently shut down any furry sim or club yet.

    Artemis is right circa vintage PN, around Feb or so. The reason we had Fort Longcats in the first place was to remind ourselves that it wasn’t serious business – we could fuck around and start dancing to Moskau up in a giant box filled with soviet propaganda in between going around and pissing off furries (by other means than crashing their sims). The FL we built outside the GYC was meant as a pseudo-protest – they kicked us out so we’d protest on the edge of their parcel, with a bunch of furries on the other side wondering what the hell was going on. Unfortunately once the Edwards thing broke we were no longer under the radar and FLs were no longer an option.

    As for the furry argument – I don’t give a damn what you like, as long as you keep it to yourself. The only people we target (or at least did when I was around) are those who make a lot of noise. If there was a furry in PN that kept his mouth shut (don’t ask, don’t tell ftw) I wouldn’t see a problem.

    At this point I’m not really sure what the PN stand for, or if they stand for anything at all. I’m beyond caring – as long as funny shit like this gets posted, whatever they’re doing is good enough for me.

    Who cares who is PN or what they do after lulzcubing sims is no longer interresting for the day…

    And I still think the Fort Longcat at the GYC was epic win :)

    Nov 27th, 2007

    Because they make their fetish into a lifestyle and blab it all over websites then bitch when people tell them to get out because they don’t want to hear about their retarded shit and to keep it to themselves.

    Seriously, you go to someone’s professional (as in: these people are over 20 or so) website and they’ll have giant furry art and webring (didn’t that concept die in 1998?) shit all over it. They’ll go to an imageboard and spam their retarded shit all over. They’ll set up sub-cliques in communities devoted to a certain task (see Wikipedia) and then end up not participating in that task but have a giant circlejerk (see: Wikipedia’s Reward Board, where one of their faggy leaders, one Nikola Shirakawa aka “thegreenfaerie” aka the founder of WikiFur and all sorts of stupid furry crap has offered $150 or so to write an article about some furry promotional fluff).

    tl;dr defining yourself by your fetish rather than who you are + making everyone forcibly accept that fetish even though it belongs private == pool’s closed.

    OK, first of all, spell ti right., it’s TheGreenFaerae.
    Second of all, I think it’s disgusting myself, on the level of the cartoon porn, or this one DVD called “Cyborg” that the Pleasures on Washington and I-70 seriously had like fifty copies off, which was about CGI Robo Coitus.
    Third of all, I have been banned from Wikipedia more times than you guys have been banned from Second Life.
    Fourth of all, What the fuck is WikiFur? You may be able to make fun of some of my websites, but that is one I have never heard of before here.
    Fifth of all, why would you choose that to attack me on, when I regularly go on Second Life as a girl, have mostly Female Avatars, yet am an guy, and not only a guy, but a fat ugly nerd in glasses? By the way, in case that’s surprisingly not enough information for you, my next avatars are in order, a Transexual Transvestite, and a guy who pretty much fucks anything with a pulse. (the term for that would be pansexual, by the way, and theoretically goes far the fuck beyond your little furry issues by adding scaly, slimy, and gaseous.)
    So to clarify,

    Furry=untrue, idiot remark
    Tranny,Homo,Queerbait,Fag,shemale,Heshe,Shehe,Girly,Sissy,Boston Bride,Frisco Femme, San Francisco Sweetheart=true, much more potent

    Furthermore, if you guys feel strongly about me, why have I not gotten so much as an IM from you guys, or seen you at any of the six landmarks in my pics where I publicize that I frequently attend as part of free Fandom Distribution? Hell, I leave nice little comment boxes out there that you could spam all you feel like.

    Oh, i forgot, I am a big fan of the shows Hannah Montana and the Suite Life of Zach and Cody as they are funnier than most adult shows, but you can add the following slurs to your list if you want to make general assumptions:

    peddy, sicko, manchild, peter pan, lost boy, little michael, Ratings Week for Chris Hansen.

    Hell, if you’re willing to IM, I’ll tell you what my sexual fetishes really are, and believe me, they’ll give a LOT more lulz than some little garfield whack-off thought would!

    If you want to try for the dead end furry angle, go ahead. it’s wrong and in no way describes me, but you want to go for me rather than some higher profile target that would be funnier, go right on ahead. But you’ll look a lot smarter if you sue something that’s actually applicable!

    OK, i checked out the site, more specifically, the ED entry on it, and I see where you got that idea. The suer names are similar, being green and a wierd spelling of the second word with e in it, but mine was actually taken from Eurotrip. You remember, the Absynth scene, with the fat, gross, little green fairy? That’s what my alias references. By the way, if you really want to see me, I posted a few YouTube vids mostly for my friends, so you can glance at them from
    http://www.youtube.com/thegreenfaerae .

    Again, there’s a lot there to make fun of, so following a cold trail like that is a waste of your time, and won’t come off anywhere near as awesome.

    Nov 28th, 2007

    Anon, you mean like anime fans taking their fetish (anything drawn by the Japanese that has big eyes(, call it a ‘fandom’ and turn it into a lifestyle (gotta eat those ‘ramen’ with chopsticks! Forks are ebil!)
    then blab it all over the internet and get pissed when people call them ‘weeaboos’ and don’t wanna hear about their stuff,
    go to the 4chan and 7chan image boards where anime fans post all their ‘shit’ all over it, and form sub cliques, and make wikipages about the chan subculture? (See Encyclopedia Dramatica)

    Really, the only difference between furries and /b/tards is, that furries leave the other fandoms in peace…

    But yeah, it’s all sticks and stones after all, and there are plenty /b/tards visiting furry boards and enjoying the art, as well as there are a lot of furries frequenting the chans.
    Heck, there’s even a large numbers haeting on furries as well as /b/tards who cannot stand weeaboos.

    In the end, it comes down to being internet toughguys. Words, specially on the internet, don’t hurt.

    So have fun at it, I’ll be laughing at both sides from the sidelines.
