The common flame by the board trolls have the same theme playing in the background. Think of Barbra Streisand and Neil Diamond or some other sappy duo and you’ll have a nice image. The rhythm never changes and the whiny-butt voices never stop.

The piece opens with a wild burst of offensive language and self-importance. Boasts of superiority and skills are often made with huge crescendos. Pieces of game conversation(s) are sampled and added to the song to support whatever melody they are trying to create. Don’t bother trying to sing the entire song, only a parody will allowed!

Magically, we hear the chorus chime in, all in harmony with each other. They sound off notes of praise for the folks posting the flames, all the while knowing that one hand washes the other. But what’s that? Do I detect a note of fear in their posts? Hark! It’s a little trill in the back being stifled by the fear that grips them! They know too well (as they are often trolls themselves) that if they post any note of discord the pack will descend upon them and devour them with more (you guessed it!) posts.

Most importantly the music plays on a state owned channel. This means the public can not protest the constant playing of Barbra and Neil, that they want a real message board with real music. All voices of discontent are stifled. (This years version of “You can’t ignore me or block me, I’m a powerful moderator! Take that!”)

There are many song titles and artists, but the self importance awards go to:

Lead Singers: (the original “Dueling Banjo” artists)
Lecreuset
Rappa

Backup Singers:
Sanoske
Mirewen
Kroess
Gunnerx
Marajade
Tokash
Solan
Davion
Stine
Zoltan
Daggett
Standarsh
Silenus
Kerowynn
Kelyon
Lucki
Lukas
Khidir
Vilurum
Jamal
Mishaela


In Summary:

The QCDN trolls have all lost perspective. The game was not created as a place for you to find your identity or well being. It was created as a toy, you remember those don’t you? They are something to enjoy.

I don’t think the original creators of QCDN conceived the board as a weapon to use against other human beings to make you feel superior. I believe the original intent was as a useful resource. I’m saddened that so many of you playing the game have nothing to live for outside of the game, and use the board for your own vices. Do yourselves a favor and unplug your gaming device/PC. You all are way too uptight and bloated with self-importance over a G A M E. This board means nothing and you won’t become famous here. In the grand scheme, it’s bits of data that have no impact. The sun continues to shine and the earth continues to spin while you rant, rave, spit and fume over not getting whatever it is you believe you must have to feel complete.

Remember, SE made us all depend on each other to accomplish the in game goals. There’s a reason for that.

And on that note, see you in game. I hope to see you there having a good time.

LOOK MOM IM ON THE INTERENT!

Go sub BRD somewhere else.
 
Someone's butthurt.

Aw, I didn't make the backup singers list? :(
 
Wait, I mention her TWICE in my rap and Khidir makes the cut?! What the hell?!

Khidir plays you :P
(I notice how us four tend to open up posts on a lot of flames. Does this make us bad people?)

/comforttaru

I'm not nearly high enough on the list. But this thread isn't nearly as entertaining as one by Hellstrom would be (yes, that was on purpose)
 
I love how when everyone agrees that someone is an idiot, we're all just jumping on a bandwagon of hate, and not that the person is genuinely an idiot.

Also WTF at putting me second string.

Well of course she's an idiot. Hell, I'd say Jamal is more "lead singer" material than Lec. I don't think Lec ever made a flame before his last one. Lec probably can't even sing.

Dreadful.

She's just mad that there have been two flames on her and Byla in a short time period.
 
Sweetie, you didn't get flamed just because someone needed a little ego boost and wanted to harp on a big of a minor goof you made. While the flame board most certainly has its share of jackals ready to pounce on anyone who shows weakness, you don't get there in the first place by being a well-intentioned good player who listens to advice and takes criticism.

You got flamed, twice, for a. going above and beyond the call of duty when it comes to doing stupid stuff, b. being too arrogant to consider you might not actually be right in said situations, meaning you don't learn anything upon being confronted with it in-game (having already assumed you're right and everyone else is wrong, so why consider their arguments?).

This was compounded in the flames themselves by c. the exact same thing as b. except on the forum this time (i.e. with your having had plenty of time to think it over, so you're not obligated to make a knee-jerk defensive reaction), and d. your general inability to make a rational argument that, horror of horrors, actually responds to the arguments *against you*, in an objective way that would make third-party onlookers nod and say "you know, Tenia has a point too."

I expect to be moved up in your list.
 
Thrice-cursed lack of edit button, "big" -> "bit".

Yeah, that fan works thread gets looked over man. Some day we'll get our record deal with Chasym and everyone will regret not getting in good with us before we were famous!

On topic: "A" for the creative approach. Flame is pretty dim though.
 
Yay I'm the lead! Oh btw, how's that whole "having enough skill to sub brd" thing working out for you these days?
 
Oh btw, after we ditched you two and Achates, we beat Proto-Ultima on our first try. Probably just coincidence and not at all that I was completely right about my flame in the first place.

Zing.
 
I didn't make the list! I mean shit, look at my sig, not like I am hiding anything.
 
I'm touched someone holds me in such high esteem, though I've no clue how I could be considered a lead singer.

Starry nights with the top down speedin' around town in the CLK, I'm quite the vocalist; however around these parts, I've no song to sing...

Rappa and I have crossed paths maybe once in-game on a party where I was still fumbling around trying to RDM in a 70+ party. Aside that, not so much aside maybe the random rate up back and forth to each other.

Perhaps the fact that two people who don't really know each other well and have a community behind them in unison is a sign that you're doing something horridly wrong.

Also, I thought you had another arch-enemy who seems to have been shot down your little list some.

Our little symphony has played quite a performance, though I've no problem handing the baton to Rappa. I'm not so well-versed in the art of flaming. You did forget percussion, woodwinds and such, or was this all a cappella work you'd hoped of us? =/

Amusing though, I'm sure you're not done here and you and your Humpty Dumpty Hubby will be around to read our replies.

Whether you choose to continue shrieking back at us in true harpy tradition or not, is your choice...

In short, your superficial vernacular is impressive, however the effect is quite amusing considering that it is inadequately utilized.

I wish I could say this flame of yours was quite stunning, but as we all already know, it's something you've great difficulty with.

Oh yeah...

I'm so Sting.

Yea and I got my boots. You know, something BLMs wear Tenia? Something that is useful. Unlike 1/2 the shit you and your husband wear.
