FFWA flame war

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 5:01 am

Guys I just got a great idea. Let's start a flame war with the Final Fantasy Worlds Apart forums! It could be a good way to spread the SG brand.

*googles* Flame War? They look dead as shit.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 6:41 am

Worse than us?

Asaroth Larot · Post by **Asaroth Larot** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 9:19 am

Oh yeah.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 9:24 am

I used to chat to the guy who seems to be running things now on IRC. Not sure he'd take a flame war seriously, if I got involved

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 12:10 pm

He'll feel betrayed to the core. It's perfect!

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 1:06 pm

Let's go for it!

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 2:50 pm

Important questions:

1 - Is registration open there?
2 - Assuming it is, how do we start? A thread full of harsh burns? I'll bet we have bigger threads than they do.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 2:52 pm

3 - Provide them with instructions for how to register on SG should they wish to retaliate?

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 2:58 pm

I think I still have an account maybe.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 3:03 pm

Haha so do I! From 2012

Don't think I ever posted, I believe I just tried PM-ing a guy who used to hang out on the message boards on some GeoCities/Angelfire FF3/7 sites I ran in the 90s.

Gonna use my sweet SG avatar.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 3:07 pm

Haha if this thread is to be believed, I thought up this plan at just the right time.

Everyone register quick!!

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 3:13 pm

The RDM has no idea what's going on right now.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 4:10 pm

I had to reg a new account because I don't have any account tied to my current email. Awaiting activation.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 5:02 pm

RDM: Just register an account at FFWA. You're being drafted.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 5:28 pm

Very exciting stuff here.

Cybernetic Empire · Post by **Cybernetic Empire** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 5:40 pm

The registration page isn't secure...

Maybe we can re-purpose some pics from our Habbo Hotel raiding days.

Awaiting my account activation email...

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 8:08 pm

Oh is this actually happening then?

I just registered (was registered there at least once before, but it would have been with a since defunct email address). SG looks so much more pleasing on the eye once clicking back from that forum!

EDIT:
I registered, clicked through from the email, and now any forum page gives me this message:

vBulletin Message

I figure we have to wait until he manually approves us or something? Don't make any shitposts until we're all in.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 8:36 pm

I wonder what he'll think about this sudden influx of more than one person.

This is your brain-child. What is your opening declaration going to be?

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 8:41 pm

What are we all called?

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 8:43 pm

Square Gamers?

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 8:45 pm

I mean each of our names. I'm Glans Helmet.

Cybernetic Empire · Post by **Cybernetic Empire** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 8:55 pm

Cybernetic Empire. I fear nothing.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 8:57 pm

Uh.... I just used Lord Golbez. Is this supposed to be covert? I thought we wanted them to know it was an FFWA-SG war for the mutually beneficial activity boost.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 9:01 pm

Glans is what I call my character in some games. Glans Helmet is my FFXIV character.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 9:19 pm

I'm also just smeared ink. Same avatar and all!

Not sure how best to start when we do. Some kind of General Discussion thread?

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 9:20 pm

To quote Bob Dylan, I've never engaged in this kind of thing before.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 9:59 pm

The RDM is Robo Deth Monkey. He sees no activation email.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 10:00 pm

I still can't even view the site, let alone set an avatar/spam.
I'm going to bed now though, so feel free to start flaming without me.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 10:01 pm

The RDM thinks we need to wait for admin approval before being jerks.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Jun 29, 2017 11:26 pm

The FFWA admins will probably have ample time to see this thread if they get suspicious and recognize any names as SG names. Don't know that they would though.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Jun 30, 2017 1:03 am

We could also try FFO. http://www.ffonline.com/forums/ It's pretty dead too though.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Fri Jun 30, 2017 1:17 am

Most forums are pretty dead. Which is why we need to conquer them in the Great Forum War and finally take over the Internet.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Jun 30, 2017 1:20 am

LAST FORUM TO POST WINS!

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Fri Jun 30, 2017 2:53 am

Haha, did I miss something?

Too bad I'm gonna be AFK all day tomorrow and most of Saturday.

Cal, just register on FFWA. The flame war itself may be a few days off yet.

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Fri Jun 30, 2017 3:07 am

Ok, I'll try to remember to do so next time I'm using a computer (I don't have the password for my spam mailbox on my phone).

I'm not very good at flame wars though.

Not sure what's taking so long, but I have yet to receive an email.

It's an actual smilie that just isn't working for everyone.

Here's a fun fact. Your husband sued to be a member of FFWA and knows/knew the admin

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Fri Jun 30, 2017 9:30 am

Check your spam folder. The email went directly to spam and did not pass Go. Nor did it collect $200.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Jun 30, 2017 10:41 am

Yeah I clicked through the activation email in my spam folder yesterday. That's when I was able to log in and got locked out.

He sued?! That sounds like serious business.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Jun 30, 2017 10:45 am

*Used. Maybe he did sue them as well. Worth asking. Would make it a more interesting story.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Jun 30, 2017 3:10 pm

I feel like maybe I should sue be ause my account isn't activated still

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Jun 30, 2017 3:13 pm

They're worse at activating new members than us
