That's just it though, some people do care. Because you don't, know one cares about you.

Blix, because you care about Koji, and you're assuming he's a dead man, it's also safe to say 'know' one cares about you.

Now shut the hell up and go fu[Beige][/Beige]ck a Smiley: pie

Priran is boring. And he's too smart to make a good troll, anyways =P

Not saying Koji or Spin aren't smart, but...yea.

Priran is just sort of "there" he's a substitue, I guess, just not a quilified one, if you get what I mean.

He's actually pretty knowledgable and is usually right, the problem is that he puts people in their place, where they mostly belong. People generally don't like being told that they're wrong, especially the way he puts it. Regardless he should probably have scholar status over a whole heap of other people on these boards.

And is Koji really gone?

People up and disappear from the internet all the time. Regardless of whether he mentioned suicide, there's no reason to automatically assume that's why he's no longer around.

I remember Kojiami.

Never heard of the guy until one day in the summer of 2005. I was doing a silly "relic upgrade" quest that involved some shouting in San d'Oria. Koji sends me a tell asking how much I'm selling for and I explained to him that I was buying, not selling.

Suddenly, he's telling me stories about his alternate DRK character, Bec de Faucon, and a Dynamis LS I've never heard of (despite my exhaustive tabulations of every NA LS on Sylph) that helped him acheive a similar goal that I myself had been striving for. He even donated a couple T. Whiteshells. What an inspiring fellow.

I started browsing the Allakhazam forums 2 hours after that meeting. LO AND BEHOLD, a thread proving Koji's glorious relic progress to be entirely untrue. It only got worse from there, as many of you know. Another day, another lie. Superiority complex. Angsty adolescent attitude. Predictable behavior of a moron with internet access.

Poor guy. He really took the internet seriously. I think that's why it was such a joy to submit him to our verbal abuse with every post he made.

If all you're worried about is having someone to rip on, why not dig your claws into each other? If my experience in Warcraft III has taught me anything, it's that the game is only as fun as your opponent is skilled. I mean, sure, you get a little bit of experience for whacking a noob in 10 minutes with your ghastly horde of Crypt Fiends enhanced by the unholy aura of your Death Knight, but you start to crave more after a while, don't you? Someone who really puts your strategic skills to the test. Someone who doesn't obsessively rip off Maddox.

In closing, gas prices are too high and everyone in this thread should follow Koji's example and take their own lives. Including me.

The fucking cat in the top hat can start us off.

I apologize, but I cannot feel sorry for anyone who takes their own life. It is incredibly selfish, and weak. If he did, he is a fool.

If I had a peanut for every time I read about people commiting suicide on forums only for them to magically appear a few days/weeks later I would be able to commit suicide by downing under my peanut stash mountain.

As someone else said people dissapear from the net all the time, they get a new job, partner, life chaniging moment and just switch off from the net. Then of course you get the call for attention people who dissapear for a while to see what others think of them.

It's stupid and so is this post.

Yes, that happens. Though you don't really understand the whole situation, you can't make a comment like this unless you know it all, which you don't...

I try to commit e-suicide whenever I get sick of certain forums and move to the next. I would've done it on the WoW OT board as well, but they actually call the police on you if you mention it there; so in that case I gave myself terminal lung cancer. The replies are priceless, in that they know you're trolling them but they have to add the "If this is true, I'm sorry and will pray for you and your family," so they don't look like a soulless douchebag.

This e-suicider is also following proper troll protocol by having someone else break the news (or spread the rumor in this case). As a known troll, nobody will give a **** if you start emo'ing your wrists all over the forums. The key is to have someone respectable-like on the inside to break the sad news.

So then, by this logic, Blix is the inside man. Then, if someone says Kojiami three times, he'll reappear again?

I'd rather he stay gone.

EDIT: I broke teh interwebs.

Ha! You're right! I also don't feel sorry for people who have neurological or genetic disorders that make them predisposed to suicide! I mean, they're YOUR genes man, take care of them. Mind over matter! Am I right or am I right?

Not everyone who kills themselves does so because the stockmarket crashed. Some forms of depression can be explained biologically and are not necessarily influenced by one's environment.

And selfish! I don't even... how does one even respond to that, that's just -- you're ridiculous.

Actually, it is a bit selfish. I do, however, agree with your post.

Damn, Koji...come back. You were funny, and I thought the WC3 stuff was cool too(even if it was easy to do as some of you said).

I know the karma bashing will come for that one...

But you have to admit that this place has been dull without him(except for the "saving" the world crusades). I know I haven't been as entertained as I used to be.

Either way, show some compassion for a fellow human people. Blix is worried that someone he called a friend was dead...and all you jackasses have is "good"? Come off it.

All I'm saying is stop banging the "hate Koji" drum, because you're only giving him what he wants, which is your attention. Besides, he could be highly entertaining.

Psychologically speaking, suicide is a cry for attention.

That's a fairly inaccurate blanket statement.

I don't have time to go into an in-depth explanation, so I'll just blurt out some facts.

Initially, humans do not choose to exist. They are brought into this world against their will. Then we impress upon them that they have an obligation to keep existing, that it is wrong for them to purposefully stop living.

People strive to be happy. (This is also where we see large inconsistencies in Maslow's hierarchy). This may apply to animals as well but I'm not aware of any cases in which an animal forfeits their life due to an inability to achieve a happy life.

Anyway, there must be an incentive to keep living. Simply being able to survive is not enough for a person to WANT to survive. This means that to some extent, expectations must be fulfilled on that person's part.

In other words, if you only find suffering in life, why do you want to live? Answer: you don't. This is why people kill themselves.

Failed suicide attempts -may- be a cry for attention. That's not to say that a cry for attention is just the person being a whiny brat. It means that person is not sufficiently happy to want to keep living, and they need some external influence to change that, just like if you're hungry and you can't get food for yourself, you let people know "I'm hungry!".

Actual suicides are never a cry for attention. The person has accepted that they will not get what they desire from life and there really is no point in living a life where you feel that way all the time. It's equivalent to someone starving to death.

In other words, the person doesn't need "attention". Attention won't fill a hungry stomach, and it likewise won't in and of itself make a person's life suddenly have meaning and be empty of misery. It's simply a prerequisite. If you're hungry and can't get food, you need someone to pay you attention and feed you. If you want to die, you need someone to pay attention to you and help you through it.
