Even more irony.

All I can say is if you're gonna host a funeral in a game like WoW, DO IT IN A FREAKING CITY WHERE THE ENEMY CAN'T GANK YOU. For them to have done it in Winterspring on a freaking PvP server was a seriously BAD idea. How can they expect the opposite faction to know what they were trying to create? Even if they announced it on the WoW forums, there are WAY too many jerk offs that play the game that don't really give a damn about personal things like a funeral. While I think its incredibly screwed up for the SN guild to have crashed the party like that, that other guild was just asking for it because of the location they chose to hold the funeral.

Rob, when Jep has his online wedding, we'll online crash it and drink all his online alcohol and steal all his online women.

SWEEEEEEET.


If I ever play WoW, I'm joining that server and joining that guild.

That was awesome, still - Leeroy Jenkins is the best WoW video.

That's old school O.G. type stuff. There's funnier videos.

And of course, World of Roguecraft!

If you downloaded the high resolution version, you could read the forum posts and in game chat.

Also, they took a more serious approach to the whole thing in the high resolution version.

They make it more dramatic. It's also funny to read what the people are saying after they are all dead.

I agree, just watched High-Res video. Much better, funny seeing them being like "SHE LOVED PVP!".

Cruel yes. However, a WoW funeral?

Leeroy Jenkins is very very overrated. This however is good, it's not funny, but it's amusing to see him destroy the whole guild by himself. What level was he in relation to the others?

They were all the same levels.

They are all level 60.

53 Horde vs. 23 Alliances, the Alliance ambushed them (they had a raid going on, planned it out, while the Horde was ungrouped, and was unknowing.)

Basically it's Gnomeland Security vs. Serenity-Now

Okay I have been talking to an Ex-Massassian named Correction over instant messenger about this video and he certainly seems displeased with it.

Ridley cIX: the guild just wanted to hold their own ingame funeral to pay their respects
Ridley cIX: Ask him if he remember madaventor, because massassi reacted the same way

If you're a veteran of Massassi, you will probably remember this event. I remember his name, but I don't remember the thread specifically.

Massassi acted the same way SN did with Mada?

It was a long respectful thread. I dont remember anything negative in it.

I think that's the point. It's rather hypocritical of us to be making fun of them for holding an in-game funeral, when we had a several page memorial thread for one of our members.

I honestly don't see the difference. If someone came in to crash the MaDa memorial thread, none of us would have been laughing.

I think I meant to quote Helequin, not Jepman.




That post.

that was hilarious

anyone stupid enough to hold a funeral in a game is only begging for *******s to come and **** **** up. i'd do it just to prove a point.

Ok... Imagine if you went to the Something Awful forums and held that memorial. What would happen then? If it was just the guild in a safe zone, that would be different. But if you're out and about it's open season.

I don't recall massassi calling some other rival forum a-holes. If we did, then it would be the same thing.

No, it is not the same thing.

They have a forum - they could've had a very nice thread there, banning anyone that said anything out of line.

Instead they played a game and acted out a funeral (WHERE THEY CAN BE ATTACKED BY OTHERS)

We have a forum, we remembered Madaventor.

We did not play JK and some of Mada's maps and have a funeral service in the game. I mean honestly, did you want someone to have Madaventor's name - then all of us walk up to that figure and do a bow in honor?

It is entirely different - if Massassi had done an ingame funeral, and someone had killed everyone and released a video - I would have probably laughed at it as well.

I'm sure some of you think that makes me sad. Personally, I think it's sad to honor someone's live in a trivial game. To each his own.

Oh I probably would have gone in and started shooting the conc rifle like a madman.

I'm a dick, though.

Your analogy doesn't even make sense.

We knew MaDa from Massassi, and we had a memorial on Massassi.

They knew this person from WoW, and held a memorial in WoW.

Having Massassi's community hold a memorial on another forum would be like them holding a memorial in EQ2 instead.

If, however, you were trying to make the point that it was an open environment and that anyone could interfere with it, then that, too, is an invalid argument, as the Massassi forums are open to public registration. Granted, we lack the population of a game like WoW, but the principle remains. If someone came and caused trouble while we were paying our respects to MaDa, it would not be funny, and the offending parties would most likely be banned. Yet you make fun of another community paying their respects to one of their departed members, and laugh when someone ruins it. There's no difference between the two, and to say that one is acceptable and the other isn't is completely hypocritical.

Mada had a ****ing sense of humor, and probably would have found this to be a riot.

There's a difference between a "sense of humor" and "laughing at the expense of others." One finding amusement in something that is, you know, funny. The other is being an *** for no other reason than to see people pissed off.

I'm just saying that if a bunch of trolls came in here posting offensive **** in MaDa's memorial thread, no one would be laughing. I just don't get why it's okay to laugh at that video, but it wouldn't be okay if it happened here.


Don't get me wrong; Massive PvP raids have the potential to be hilarious. But there's a line between having fun, and ruining someone else's, and this would appear to cross that line.

Again, read my post above. This member apparently was known at the forums, and also the game. MaDa was known as the forums, but also for his editing and people playing with him.

Massassi did not host a funeral service in JK for him

We're not laughing at people posting bad stuff in the forums about this WoW member - that'd be stupid.

We're laughing at the video. The fact they held a memorial in a game - which is in itself a nerdy thing - and then the irony of being killed by people in the very thing the WoW member participated in. That is classic.

I'M THE SCAT MAN

There's a mother******* spider on your head!

I don't care if it makes me an *******, that was freaking awesome. And don't you just love it how they talk about the girl who died like she had an IQ of 20? "Oh, she loved the sound of the water because it was calming for her! She loved snow!" Seriously, that's more degrading than SN breaking up their little 'ceremony'.

what exactly does level 60 mean?

One more than level 59.

(I think at some point level 60 was like the maximum level or perhaps not)

What does a "level" mean though?

...Sorry, Im not familiar with WoW

60 is the max level. They were all equal... SN caught them off guard, and they annihilated them. That is funny.

Personally, after reviewing all of the information surrounding the event, I find that what SN did to be in very poor taste.

The people holding the funeral may be idiots, but it's not nice to bully retards is it?

They might have had good intentions with the funeral, but they were asking for havok doing that in a WoW game.

You are right, this was the point Correction was trying to make.



I think (and hope) that this is the way most people feel. The higher resolution video to most people was probably not even funny because of the fact that it was more serious in mood due to the music (was that the original video or was that made by the funeral guild?). However, the main video that we saw used music to create a light-hearted tone (Scatman at the battle, switchin between the rock and the solemn music).

Certainly not, however, few people I shall not name would:
-not care
-tell that other people made better textures than MaDa
-side with the trolls if KnightRider2000 would be sympathetic to MaDa

Yeah I think switching between the Misfits and the slow music was hillarious.


But really I think I agree with some people when they say that it's degrading to HAVE a funeral in a game. Espically with what some of the people were saying (like the liking the sound of water comment)

I'm with SavageX on this one. They were stupid for trying to hold the funeral outside Alliance territory. That'd be like trying to have an American 4th of July parade in Baghdad,
