Ninja Looters of Infamy: Are The Patriotic Nigras Really Pathetic Posers?

In a shocking new twist to a story that already has more kinks than a pubic hair, reliable Herald sources inform us that despite their bragging on sites like 10 Zen Monkeys, the Patriotic Nigras did not initiate the attack on the John Edwards Headquarters in Second Life. According to our sources, the attack was in point of fact a generic Something Awful goon operation and Mudkips Acronym merely took credit for the action, scoring an extended interview with Lou Cabron in the process. As our source so eloquently put it:

[It] wasn't "Patriotic Nigras", it was mostly [Something Awful] goons. A few hours later some 4chan retards came by and claimed responsibility. Patriotic Nigras = 4chan.

This raises several issues. First, it suggests that the SA goon's Eddie Haskel routine of "gosh Philip, your hair looks lovely" may have successfully insulated the goons from being suspects in this case. Second it raises serious question about the integrity PN. Ninja Looters, are of course people who let someone else kill the monster and then run in and grab the loot. But in this case what did the PN grab? Taking credit for some racist scatalogical griefing, all they got was some paultry attention and an interview in a fancy "webzine". As we said back in the day: Shame. Shame and ridicule.

Ahahaha oh wow.

Yes, SA did set up a John Edward spoof next to Edwards campaign. Yes, it was funny. No, they did not do what was talked about on the blog. Do you really think SA would carry Pool's Closed signs and yell 4chan memes?

That, and the guy in the picture disseminated by the edwards campaign is registered and on our member list.

Looks like you guys need to get some new sources.

[Urizenus]

Anyone can show up with a sign after the fact.

[Mudkips Acronym]

Yeah, well keep believing that. It's clear the SLH will do anything to try to make a conspiracy out of things we do to discredit our operations. I'll stick to legitimate journalism.

[OMGALION]

OH NOES WE'VE BEEN FOUND OUT!
IT WASN'T US AFTER ALL, IT WAS ALL SOMETHING AWFUL!

Might as well forget about us nigras and concentrate on taking down Lowtax.

I hear he has connections with Eric Bauman of Ebaumsworld.com with this, too.
You might want to follow that lead.
GOGOGOGO

[BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW]

BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW OUR JOURNALISM SUCKS MONKEY ANUS, SO LETS BE STUPID AND NOT LOOK AT THE OBVIOUS, IN ORDER TO DRUM UP SHITTY CONSPIRACY THEORIES AND SOME REMOTE SEMBLANCE OF INTEREST FROM THE COMMUNITY

[NobodyImportant]

With all due respect...

You and your "source" are fucking morons, UrizenusSklar.

[Urizenus]

Clearly, we hit a nerve here. And I understand your reaction. The shame you guys must be feeling...it must be...just...unbearable.

But don't worry, some day you guys will get an idea of your own and accomplish something all on your own and on that day... well, you'll still be losers.

[Baba]

It's so obvious... Patriotic Nigras = PN = Prokofy Neva!

[Jesse Malthus]

OMG Baba, I thought the same thing!
Also, down with whitey. Just throwing that out there.

[Ordinal Malaprop]

Honestly, the Herald cannot be so starved of hits that it has to encourage goon vs btard comment wars.

They never click on the banners either, you know.

[jew hammerer]

There was one guy there with Pools Closed sign. All of the pictures plastered on the building were made and put up by people in goon groups. You faggots don't got shit.

[Prokofy Neva]

I think the Professor has engaged in some very skillful textual and linguistic analysis here. I applaud it. And the answer is: yes.

[Petey]

Ordinal, just to prove you wrong I clicked on the "Second Life Cheats" link so I can level up.

As for this whole thing...don't know, wasn't there. All *I* know is that it probably destroyed the market for my own SLS with Edwards. Hell, I know when the market is saturated!

[gabe]

Thanks for the well researched article! I posted a follow up interview with Mudkips on my blog. Check it out:

[georgezimmer]

I THINK THIS ALL PROVES ONE UNDENIABLE FACT: THE PATRIOTIC NIGRAS ARE ONLY OUT FOR GLORY.

THE BEST THING THE SECONDLIFE COMMUNITY CAN DO IS TO FORGET THEIR EXISTANCE, AS THEY ARE NOT CAPABLE OF LASTING DAMAGE.
INSTEAD, WE SHOULD GO AFTER THE TRUE CULPRITS, SOMETHINGAWFUL AND EBAUMSWORLD.

THEY ARE THE ONES WHO PLAN THESE BIG GRIEFING EVENTS, AND AS SUCH ARE THE ONES THAT WE SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO.
WHY SHOULD WE WASTE OUR TIME TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHO THESE 'NIGRAS' ARE, WHEN WE SHOULD BE WORKING TO GET SOMETHINGAWFUL AND EBAUMSWORLD TAKEN DOWN, THUS ENDING THIS GEIFER MENACE.

FORGET THE NIGRAS, THEY PROBABLY HAVEN'T EVEN ACTUALLY GRIEFED.
THEY ARE INNOCENT, AND ONLY WANT TO BE SEEN AS GUILTY.
WE HAVE BIGGER FISH TO FRY.

I GUARANTEE IT.

[Nacon]

Normally I would come in and say something witty about how retarded the herald is... but I think those people who posted took care of it.

Good job people!

(smacks herald with a newspaper) bad! BAD!

[Kerian Bunin]

All the crap I saw at the Edwards camp were set to open join groups so I would be wary to make a judgment either way. Personally when I saw what whoever did that did to the Edwards camp I thought it ruined the parody of the Edward camp, and from the people I talked to who were there with me, the agreed.

[shockwave yareach]

Oh, those poor SA folks; denied their due by their fellow goons. Robbed of their infamy at being unpleasant by other unpleasant fellows. Oh where, oh where has the honor gone? You mean the internet isn't supposed to be taken seriously, unless it's a goon's exploit being defaced?

I get LULZ at the whole lot of you.

[Lothar]

Let this event show you the difference between the SomethingAwful crowd and the 4chan crowd. The SomethingAwful crowd invested time, money, and effort into creating a hilarious sim parody.

The 4chan people just ran in, spam shit (that they've "borrowed" from other people) and then bragged about it all over the Internet.

:bravo: 4chan

[Whoops]

red duck?

i totally called it last september btw

@Dano

"Perhaps we will learn if the 4chan crowd has any affinity for Budweiser and can sell that information to some trend spotters."

I prefer guinness, thx.

Oh wait-

[Mudkips Acronym]

@Lothar

Let this event show you the difference between the SomethingAwful crowd and PN. The SomethingAwful crowd invested time, money, and effort into creating a mildly amusing parody nobody really cared about other than goons.

The PN people just ran in, spam shit they made and uploaded, and then talked about it all over the Internet when e-mailed with interview requests. The PN actually did some PR and revealed what they were planning and went down. The PN actually took the time to follow up on the lulz.

The SA people get mad someone stole their thunder and may or may not make up conspiracies to spread to biased SLH wannabe reporters to get PN e-indited for Being Big Meanies and Talking About What They Did Rather Than Being Insular Elitists in the First Degree in the e-court of lawl. Maybe they should get off Lowtax's teat and hire Leonard "J" Crabs?

[WUT]

What is it with SLH and jumping on the Goons?

[N3X15]

Enjoy ur raided HQ.

[ForcedAnonymous]

We're in ur SL HQ, organzin our harbl.

[Tezticlees lolol]

Enjoy your AIDS mutha fuggahs.

[yeahwhatever]

Why is the Herald even giving attention to these 12 year olds?

That's all they want...
Living in a basement doesn't get you much attention in RL, so they have to get it here.

It's simple with annoying children: if you ignore them, they will just go away.

[lawl]

"Why is the Herald even giving attention to these 12 year olds?"

Because the Herald is full of idiots.

[lol]

PN isnt with 4ailchan

[Leam Cunningham]

Aside from the fact that this was poorly-researched, I find the wording of this article to be more suited to a blog. I am unsurprised that sites such as SL Reuters and individual SL blogs are becomingly increasingly popular. :-P

[WhiteChocolateOctagon]

PN are just out for greater glory and to make SL a better place. Herald should focus there stories on those JLU noobs who report people for no reason and get random people banned even if they didn't login that day or in the past week. Making up stories with drama and using there special linden connections to call favors and ban random people for no reason. Corruption in the JLU, I would read that.

There's a lead,
GOGOGOGO

[Anti-Anonymous]

Translation for WhiteChocolateOctagon:

"Oh noes the account I DO NOT grief with was banned along with the accounts I DO grief with. That's fucked up I didn't do anything with that account even though I crashed sims with the others. Gasp! Could it be the Lindens just connected the dots and just banned any account associated with a hardware hash? NAH it must be those JLU/Green Lanterns or that Intlib bastard! That must be it how unfair."

Welp, the way I see it you can't have your cake and eat it too. Have fun Watermill or whoever you are.

[user:anonymous]

it was eric baum

[goons]

laughin at mudkips' inadequacy

[lowlifesleezebag Linden]

Linden labs is stealing and cheating people out of hundreds of thousands of lindens, thats just one account mine, all my stuff gone, my land my busines, im still paying for premium account I brought, did they bother contact me? bother to exsplain, not a word,

if someone did this to me in real life, they would be dead,so can you imagine how I and people like me being conned and robbed behind laws

I tell you this linden labs, Ill be seeing you,

have good day enjoy my land my property my cash my cars my clothes my my my,

you really think you can treat people like this...

If I wasnt such a calm person coughhs-

if someone like me with a mental dissorder was effected by same incident as I am, they may take things to far and decide to

CUT ONE OF YOUR LINDEN FUCKING THROATS!!

luckly I am calm so that dosent apply,

but ild suggest just incase linden staff, dont walk down any dark allys in case there are people out there who wish to have a convo with you..

[Eric Baum]

Now listen here, i may not know much about dividng my zero, but dammit if thats the bandwagon then i can jump on for PROFIT. Ive heard its not tooo hard to do as long as you justOHSHI-

[Anonymous]

This is a lie. I was personally at the attack and IT WAS NOT SA GOONS IT WAS THE PN. Thats some fine journalism folled up by no research into the subject SLH. Way to fail.

[Blinders Off]

After very, very quickly skimming through the above, one quick comment:

Some people have no life and are very easy to entertain. Perish forbid they'd do something useful with their limited time on earth.
