My antisocial tendencies in social networks of gamers demonstrates its benefits yet again!

Sorry about your pie getting stolen, though, yo. Did they get you to click a link or download a virus, or was it hacker magic?

Looks like they sent him a link; I just got a message containing a link to "join them in a tournament." I removed the account. Add me again when you've got everything situated, kaister.

got it back thankfully. damn what a busy little bitch he was, glad i let you all know before hand.

he linked me to a mock page he either scripted or hosted himself to look exactly like an official steam page. then (and here's where i kicked myself) when i logged in i pretty much handed him my username and password.

thats it, im sooo crawling back into my "i-dont-know-you-so-fuck-off" mode lol. but its safe to add me again, and ill add you guys later after spring cleaning.

Heh, yeah, that's exactly the link I kept getting spammed to me while I played TF2 last night. With the first one, I was like, "oh, kai got his account ba-- waaaaaait..."

How did you end up getting it back?

XD jesus, i wonder if he got any poor saps with that, i got a big friends list >->. not to mention the hour he snagged my shit, tired and sleep deprived gamers are easy prey. i was thinking the steam page/firefox was just being slow or unresponsive with my log in, just to find out that it wasnt the official steam page at all :/

i sent pics of my retail version cd keys from my modern warfare 2 and left 4 dead 2 with my account username written below in sharpie, and all the other steps they listed to prevent any delays (quote un-quote) and they came thru this morning/early afternoon. i was paranoid as hell steam wouldnt come thru for me so i made several pics, one including the open cases showing the cd and keys side by side.

i gotta admit, thats better then adequate services ^_^. either that or im just overly thorough bout these kind of things.

Yeah you tried to link me that stuff, I didn't bother because I fail at tournaments anyway.
You must be relieved you got your account back.

Orange- N cannot be spoken, or even thought about in my household. If my parents ever found out that I have played N since the cleansing, my life would be ruined. I keep the game in a multi-passworded .rar on a USB flash drive inside a locked boron alloy container that requires two keys to open (I keep one under the 64th hammer in my piano, and the other one in a small section of removable ceiling in the corner of the attic) hidden in a wall compartment lined with aluminium foil to prevent sonar detection behind my 375 kg cupboard, which is bolted to the floor - the only way to reach it is to abseil outside the fourth floor window and use a screwdriver to unfasten the screws holding the secret brick in place on the opposite side of the wall, but the screwdriver must be a specific type like the one I own, since if any other screwdriver comes into contact with the screws, the entire building will explode, as will a seperate charge placed inside the boron alloy container, rendering the USB useless. Even once the container is retrieved, attemping to open it without the arming pin in place (which is kept inside the battery compartment of my Maglite) will cause the water reservoirs lining the container to burst and react with the caesium lining, causing the container to burst into flames - the only way to prevent this is to use the arming pins to shut off the reservoirs with a sliding steel door. The USB itself contains an accelerometer linked to an explosive charge, meaning that if the USB detects its own movement speed as being greater than 5 cm/s, it will explode - any person attempting to steal it would have to move at a uselessly slow speed. Once plugged into a computer, the USB will upload a ghost virus onto it, leaving no traces. Only the right password can deactivate this virus, and if it is left on the computer for more than six hours, it will format all drives.

As you can see, I take my N playing very seriously.

Guiseppi- I'd much rather watch animals get boned in the ass.

Yanni- If it's glad, it's not rape.

Tsukatu- I refuse to use throw-away bags for such a frequent purpose as buying groceries. Instead, I've collected the hair of my two pet dogs and have woven them together into an all-natural, 100% environmentally friendly bag that I bring with me everywhere. And when I buy products that come in glass and plastic containers, I track down the company that packages them and ship back their containers so that they don't take up space in landfills.


Yeah, I use plastic.

Tsukatu- I hear Ebony Online is great, too. Cum save your princess, my lord!

Ska- UR MUM LIKE IS SPICY

Ska- why d i get the feeling what i typed will end up in the quote depository; or worse: someone's sig.

KinGAleX- I did it on the couch a little while ago.
