Headshot! Praise the Lord!

Wednesday April 05, 2006 @ 09:15 PM (PDT)

Praise the Lord! For tonight's griefing session on my favorite Christian Day of Defeat: Source server, I decided to play it completely straight and see how long it would take to get kicked if I said "PRAISE THE LORD!" every time I got a kill. As it turns out, not very long. I managed to rack up an impressive 15 kills before they kicked me. When I rejoined, I asked why I had been kicked. The response? "You kept saying 'Praise the Lord'".

Lessons learned thus far:

  • "Jesus" is a swear word.
  • The Lord endorses the pwnage of noobs, but would rather you not praise Him while doing it.

Whatever happened to that sweet little curly-haired boy I raised???

Okay, I admit, you cracked me up. Christians are humans too, after all, and subject to the same illogical idiosyncrasies as the rest of the whole warped human race. And a whole lot of them like computer games and get real intense about them, too.

WarrenTrouble's comment on the whole thing was, "you know he's a genius, right?"

Of *course* I know you're a genius. I knew it when you were six months old and I told my mom, "This kid's smarter than I am, and when he finds out, I'm gonna be in big trouble."

I'm just glad you never tried to manipulate *me* for entertainment purposes.

At least, not that I *know* of...

Bravo!

And on the eighth day the lord said that there will be much pwnage of noobs.

Seriously, I tip my hat to you and your escapades. Bravo I say, bravo.

I don't know why this was so funny to read. Perhaps because it was too hard to believe that there are specifically "Christian" Day of Defeat servers where people go about politely murdering each other.

"Holiest father in heaven, that was a blessed good shot there! The way you sprayed your machine gun into my face was quite the winning kill. Jebus [1] must be guiding your aim tonight."

Or maybe because it's just funny that you got kicked for saying PRAISE THE LORD everytime you kacked someone.

I'm going to have to find one of these polite servers, be a lemming, and do something each time I die, like say, "Mohammed be blessed, I am have returned to life to continue my righteous crusade and slay the infidels!" each time I get killed (I'm not good enough to have a special saying for those times when I do actually kill another player).

[1] Since we all know that Jesus is a swear word and we wouldn't want to offend anyone on a Christian server by saying stuff like "Jesus p0wn2 u!" Yay Jebus.

...they may invoke St. Google and discover you!

Good 'ol Saint Google. The patron saint of lost websites.

St. Google is only a Catholic saint. I wonder if any of the servers are Catholic servers? If so, Ryan should make a spray of Martin Luther's Theses (complete with nail-heads) and see how long before they kick him for that.

I am such a dork.

I'm sorry to see that you're using them for your entertainment. I am not christian, but I would respect their believes and goals. I checked out their website and they're trying to create a place which is family friendly. I just came from a DOD:S server where someone obviously derranged told everyone how he masturbates, places his semen into a cup and then drips it onto babies in the mall. All this during gameplay. Then there are the players who have to shower you with racist remarks or obscenities. Right now, a christian server where people try to play like polite beings, doesn't sound all bad. They don't pee in your house, to see how fast they can piss you off. Why would you do that to them?

To a small extent I have to agree with Martin Brundle that having a "family freindly" game server is a good thing. People get all kinds of weird when they don't think anyone cares what they say, so they say all sorts of sick s*%&t to try and get a reaction. Do I really think that some sick bastard actually jerks into a cup and drips it on babies in the mall, heck no. If he did he would be too easily caught, and strung up by his sack. (Heck I'd cut it off if he did it to my kid!)

That said, having the server labled as "Christian" is an oxymoron as previously noted by Sulerin. Having a bunch of "christians" running around and pretending to do all sorts of very un-christian things (remember the "thou shalt not kill" bit) is pretty twisted in it's own right. I doubt you will go to h-e-double-hockey-sticks for pretending to kill but a few years in purgatory probably wouldn't be out of the question.

The best part is that I have played paintball with a "Christian" paintball group. So they do the Christian DOD:S guys one better by actually shooting at people, although still not actually killing them. I'd do the same thing as you did, except I actually like playing with them, they have a great woodsball field and they don't play like 455holes.

Good on you for pointing out the idiocy and hypocrocy of those who claim and/or act like they are better than everyone else!

I'm sure of it. I get this warm fuzzy feeling everytime it's Christmas and they have cartoon-i-fied their logo.
