Merry Christmas (sinij is banned) (and Broughden/Sand).

[Sheepherder]

MuffinMan figured it out based on some info Sand posted.

I am now curious.

Also, I assume that this means Broughden was posting from behind a proxy the entire time?

[schild]

No, just a random IP. Both Sand and Broughden had one. Or they were randomizing it, whatever. Anyway, Sand posted a picture of his dog. MuffinMan connected the dots back to a picture of Broughden's dog via Facebook.

Basically, Sand/Broughden can only go so long without yammering about himself. He's like a racist, bigoted, hateful, republican Geldon.

It is amazing that he managed to change his tone enough for some of the staff to only have minor notions that they may be the same person. We've chatted about it before, but Sand was JUST untwatty enough to maybe not be him.

We were wrong. So, props to him for that.

I always assumed it was a case of "everyone know's it's him, but he's not being a complete douche every single post yet, so - here's some more rope."

[schild]

We were simply never 100% sure. I don't understand why anyone would want to be at a forum where they're unwanted.

Unless, you know, they're getting promoted to admin.

[Teleku]

Is that your next Christmas gift?  Bruce to be the next admin?

[Arthur_Parker]

I was wrong, kinda funny, he spent a while talking to me on pm's when I was trying to figure out who he was.

Are the online magic cards any use to f13?  Think I have an old account.

[Sheepherder]

You actually threw me off the track.  That shows me for not trusting my gut.

That he managed to find a way to seriously piss off Schild is impressive.

[Merusk]

The whole living in Kentucky and business owner thing should have been the giveaway.  Like others I figured he wasn't banned simply because he wasn't being as douchey as he was when he was Broughden.

The Magic card price guide shows me I was right to simply trash my collection.  90% of it was Fallen Empires.. whose most expensive card is $4.      Fucking worthless expansion. Wish I'd bought that box of Legends when I had the chance, it was only $150 at the time.

Yeah my bad sorry, Broughden was trolling up a storm on the huffington post at the time I was trying to figure Sand out, so I didn't think it was him.

[Ironwood]

Yeah, I took Arthur on faith when he said 'Nope.'  Before that I was sure it was him.

Especially when he showed us his knuckles after he punched that shark.

[Sheepherder]

[Bunk]

I initially thought it was the same guy, but he really seemed much more muted so I stopped worrying about it.

On/off topic; had no idea 4th was so worthless. Quick scan shows only four cards in the set over $5: Land Tax, Sylvan Library, Nevinyrral's disk, and Wrath of God.

[HaemishM]

Is that your next Christmas gift?  Bruce to be the next admin?

As destructive as that would be, it would be immensely funny for a few hours minutes seconds until he managed to piss off 90% of the posters in whatever thread he would post in. It would also be scary to time how long it would take him to post once the ban was removed. Maybe we could run a Festivus pool.

[bhodi]

Really? Is Bruce still skulking around the scene? His name hasn't come up in years. Are there pics of him cornering people at PAX or something?

[HaemishM]

AFAIK, Bruce does not ever go away.

[Merusk]

Google tells me he's trolling reddit these days.   If you haven't been initiated to Bruce, scanning his previous week's posts gives you a really good idea of what kind of a creature he is.   (wincest.. really?)

[RhyssaFireheart]

I have some old Magic cards, no clue what edition they are.  Got them from a GenCon ages ago.  I'd be willing to hand them off to someone else (Schild) if only to get them off my bookshelf.  They're probably completely worthless and/or a series that is no longer used.  I'll look when I get home tonight, just for giggles.

And thanks for the gift, boss! 

[01101010]

Like herpes...

and where the hell is this year's Festivus thread? Did I completely miss it?

[NiX]

Sand is now banned. I think Arthur Parker might have to turn his title over to MuffinMan now.

ALL HAIL GREAT LEADER!

No, thank you! I will take Gencon cards without question!

[RhyssaFireheart]

I'll get a list of what I have tonight and send it to you somehow (PM here, I guess) to see if you want any of the cards.

[calapine]

Wow. This is the only forum I know that sacrifices posters as Christmas celebration.  

Is it still ok to dislike Origin though?

[Strazos]

Wow, he must have REALLY shit up that thread, huh?

[schild]

Eh? Sinij shits up every thread related to Steam. He's simply an idiot.

Sand was just an obnoxious ass but never obnoxious enough to ban, until I found out he was actually dodging a ban, which is immediate cause for a ban. Despite reasonably good behavior compared to his dickhead, shitheel, unlikable, egotistical, self-flagellating retard past-self.

PM works, or Steam. PM is easy though.

[Yegolev]

I had to go up to my "archives" and make very damn sure that I no longer had any MTG cards.  All I found was lots of first-edition Middle Earth: The Wizards, including an unopened starter.  Too bad only ten people play this now.

You have "archives?" The Library of Yegolandria?

[ghost]

Ok, was Sand actually Broughden (like, you tracked him by IP address or something and know for sure)?  Or are we just running with the assumption?

MuffinMan figured it out based on some info Sand posted.

Did the colostomy give him away? 

[Paelos]

His ass problems are especially funny given this quote:

You are a kool aid drinking FUCKING MORON!    Die of flaming ass cancer you schmuck. No really, die.

Sure.  Sounds better than "the closet where I found a cloth map from UO".

I still have my UO cloth map and pewter pin, too! Mine's in a box in a self-storage warehouse seven time zones away, though.

In retrospect it's nearly inconceivable that two different people would have such similar and awful taste in movies.

[Cyrrex]

I am rather surprised to hear that you've proven the Broughden/Sand connection.  I disliked Broughden as much as the next guy, but Sand didn't bother me all that much.  The reason I ultimately decided they couldn't be the same person was because I couldn't imagine Broughden being able to ever shut up about his (questionable) military and police experience.  Huh.  Good work on his part, I guess.

And WUA...come on people, that guy is hilarious.  He might be nasty as all fuck and a giant troll, but jesus christ he was funny.  And a talented writer.

I can't tell if he's angry or drunk from that post. But that was gold. And the emoticon completed the wtf.

SirBruce was around before I found F13, but I did see his name pop up on reddit a while back and wondered if it was him. The guy was even SirBrucing all of his posts. Kinda funny. But not really. Like seeing Mr. Mxyzptlk show up in Hellblazer.

edit: Or, "gone" before I found F13, anyways. Ho Ho Ho, Merry Christmas.
