Flame Wars
« on: July 25, 2011, 05:59:49 PM »
So I was looking back through some really old threads on this board and came across a little piece of gold lol.

http://easternfront.org/forums/index.php?topic=4162.0

It's a thread about the British changes made in the EF 1.2 patch (the one with the expert vCoH changes). Basically this guy is extremely stubborn and won't change his opinions. He says that the Kang nerf was unjustified etc. while actually just being a massive noob. The thread devolved into a flame war and got locked.

It got me thinking, what are some of the best flame wars you've ever seen/been a part of on the internetz? The funnier the better. It can be from any forum, media outlet etc. Just as long as there's some serious fighting going on.
If you get into an argument with me, you're wrong.

I'm proud to say i lock them before they get heated on Blistered Thumbs. ;D We don't get much of that anyway, because it's a pretty cool and mature community. :P

I was part of a massive clan [KFC] that used to play Multi Theft Auto back about 6-7 years ago. The MTA team had a very strict Anti-Cheater policy and so did we as a clan, but a few patches of MTA later we decided that we preferred the older patch 2.0 and held a special one off '2.0 Night' on a private server.

The 2.0 night was massive fun, we had people in the clan going ape shit with health hacking, flying cars, miniguns, automatic rocket launchers, teleporting. These were respected people in MTA, the KFC clan was the largest clan in MTA and was full of some of the best players.

However, our rival clan's leader caught wind and reported the entire KFC clan to the MTA admins. A flame war ensued on the MTA forums over allegations we were a subversive clan of hackers and we couldn't participate in Clan Wars any more (despite having a legitimate 50 win streak), they couldn't seem to grasp that the hacks were 2.0 version, not everybody used them and it was a one off night of fun. MTA admins had none of it, saying we violated the rules by altering 2.0's game code then banned everybody with a KFC tag in their name.

We took down our Partyserver (which was the most popular server) and decided to transfer fully over to Vice City Multiplayer (VCMP) which one of our clan members was a Developer of. We took a lot of people with us, possibly hundreds, but the clan was never really the same, VCMP and later SAMP didn't have the same Clan War scene that MTA had.
Maybe that was a blessing... Clan Wars tended to cause far too much hate.

Some people just don't get that games are meant to be fun. ::)

You donated the most so maybe its a special reward badge. If its intended this way than a diamond instead of the gold bar would be appropriate. But i think its a bug

Pariah, you should also see a little new forum you previously couldn't (private area).
