Bear with me, this one is going to be sort of long, and this guy is a genuine jackoff with a high potential for brain damage. There IS a TL;DR at the end if you're just looking for a next year Halloween target.
Part 1. The Scam
Innocent enough message, right? Now, you read the title, so you know where this is going. I click this guy's profile to see some more information, such as faction, karma, friend-to-enemy ratio, etc. Just general trustworthy metrics. However, when I click it, I see this;
(ignore the goodies in the recent interactions, those will be relevant shortly)
Anyways, I do the responsible thing and place a bounty. Legit within the second, I get my first of many messages from this character.
Part 2: The Introduction
Anyway, you see how this is going. The conversation starts innocently enough (ignore my lack of knowledge about Coldplay, I just genuinely don't know about them). I'll cut out everything else in this section, but if you'd like, I can send you the rest, or I'll upload them later in a comment. It's very long. And very redundant. The point is, he seems amicable enough, and so I continue chatting to him. Then, out of seemingly nowhere, a genuinely sped crashout occurs.
Part 3: The Crashout (and really bad, repeated insults)
I will only be posting highlight moments here, but there's like a fair bit. Same as above, I might upload them later. There is no other context, which is also the exact same amount of context I got.
(those 3 were part of the same rant)
Anyways, sorry for the crazy f**king long post. ISTG, some people are like figments of my imagination; that entire interaction felt like a fever dream. Shit ass at insults, and when I fire back, legit 0 response. Boring as shit. The main issue I have with characters like this isn't that they immediately resort to insults; it's that they're bad at them. 0 creativity, flexibility, reusing stale material, and full of fallacies. On top of being unable to do any defensive play when insults are fired back. Horrendous performance, kick them off the roster next season.
TL;DR. Scammer flies off the handle, the best they can do is call me fat. Repeatedly.
