As for you, grak. You watched a detective show on TV. A live action one. And expected chicanery that wasn't of the pants-on-head variety. You have no one to blame but yourself.

My family used to watch this show a few years back. If I recall from what I've seen, there's actually a good reason for this particular bit of ridiculousness. Well, the part about it not making sense is probably just because the overarching plot of the show main bad guy was the cryptic skeleton guy, so in this episode you were probably suppose to have watched all the other episodes to understand it. As for the worm.

Spoiler: Actual spoilers (click to show/hide)

I think that the computer guy turned out to be working with the bad guy. I dunno if it's the case, but he probably blew up the fans and set the fire and blamed it on the skeleton or something.

That sounds like something the team from Leverage would make up in 10 seconds.  "The computer was destroyed by, uh, a computer virus!  From the skeleton!"  "God dammit Hardison keep it simple"

oh jeez you mean SJW

you kept saying "skeleton" and i realized you weren't talking about futuristic fantasy

Returned to playing World of Tanks after over 6 months of inactivity.
Dear god ths game is more toxic than i remembered.

People raging.
People saying GG after a complete rout.
People conceding the round at the begining because the WN8 of their team or win% was not good enough.
People teamkilling people for not having a good enough WN8.

Hell i got shot by teammates twice for not scouting well enough.

No really.
WTF happened to this game? Was it always like that but i never noticed?
Necause as things stand its just as bad as MOBAs. Only in MOBAs like DotA or LoL i can play against the AI and not deal with mad hatters of that callibre.

Hell is playing with other people online.
Heaven is finding out where they live and having an infinite supply of baseball bats.

Your humor is of a higher altitude than my braincase.

-snip-

Its funny, but MOBAs are actually better than that because as awful as MOBA players can be most games let you mute them and there are very few teamkilling mechanics.  DOTA 2 has a few (abilities that let you move allies, mostly) but they are meant to be used cooperatively.

People saying GG after a complete rout.

wait, is this toxicity? I thought it was just tradition to say it after a game however it went.

The rest of that is pretty shitty though, there's nothing worse than a teamkiller.

Dota 2's abilities that do that can almost all be disabled (except for skillshot one(s) like Pudge's hook where accidentally hitting allies is a part of the balance), even, so that's all good.

Meaning before endgame, I think? Early GG calls are pretty bad.

[Sonlirain]

GG has 2 meanings.

If it was a close match GG means "good game"
If it was a steamroll it basically means "get good"

You generally shouldn't say GG if you are on the winning team that won 15-5 or better.

Also yeah there are of course people who say GG before the match starts because their team has inferior stats.

Also in WoT you can only turn off chat entirely. While this helps with the statwanking crazies you also mute out the helpful people so its generally not a good idea.

This is a classic example of offence being taken and not given.

Unless you say "GG scrubs"

[Putnam]

gg pretty much always means "good game" AFAIK

[Sonlirain]

Its still more of a slap in the face when the game was obviously terrible for the other team.

[Lord Shonus]

gg pretty much always means "good game" AFAIK

Not in WoT it doesn't. It usually means "My team isn't good enough, so I'm going to go jump off a cliff. Fuck you, scrubs!"

[Descan]

I don't know if you have a S J W -> skeleton replacer, but they actually are saying the word "skeleton."

[Orange Wizard]

Unless you say "GG scrubs"

Yes, but that's actually derogatory. If the other guys are only saying "gg", it's more like shaking hands after a game of football. On its own it's basically meaningless.

To be fair, I know piss all about the WoT community, but I can't imagine why you'd want to go so far out of your way to assume malice.
