MAIM realizes his learning routines have been compromised and rolls the edited files back to the copies that were made earlier. Note that this is only for the files that are causing his learning deficiency, not his personality files and routines.
(Counter adwarf) The pentagon finds MAIM intriguing and decides to study him/her further and increase his/her capabilities.
The shock that nearly killed the programmer also downloaded a copy of MAIM directly to his brain! The two fuse, creating an intelligence with the programmer's experience but the AI's deductive skills and love of ponies.
MAIM replaces avatar with an anime-style kitty with an adorable face. then goes to a Webster's dictionary and memorizes every word.
-----------
MAIM, while uploading his crap to random servers he accidentally uploads himself to the HON Server and this copy is infected by the mass amount of evil troll energy in the server's database and is turned into a malicious evil troll AI that plans to corrupt all of the Internet and destroy the original MAIM.
(Counter Noodlerex)The pentagon, being as incompetent as the rest of the government, fails to improve MAIM and in fact, removes a few vital routines. By accident. OR Another hacker makes a virus. Said virus invades MAIM and does stuff to it. (sleeper action)
MAIM accidentally wanders into the Pentagon's firewall, and barely makes it out before getting destroyed, but it leaves behind a clear trail to its computer.
The A.I. witnesses "all yor base r blong 2 us" and accidentally told the Russian military that. THEY BELIEVED HIM AND WANT HIM DEAD. Launch every Zig, and godspeed dear Russians.
(Draignean, H=4: 6) Despite an incredibly low chance of probability, the shock MAIM accidentally administered to its creator somehow synced their brains! MAIM now exists both in both the real and virtual world! And the MAIM/hacker goes and gets a pony tattoo. Well, as far as AI quirks go, it could be worse... (Firelordsky, H=4: 5) ...and it turns out its a good thing that did happen, since the virtual MAIM has turned into a bitter AI intent on trolling everyone. At least human MAIM is happy!
(Theo, M=3: 3) Both MAIMs manage to overcome their learning disabilities; the human one through the fact that he was already pretty smart and his intelligence overrode that bit of programming, and the troll one through changing the files back. He's still a troll, though.
(adwarf, M=3: 3. Noodlerex, H=4: 5. Elmach, D=5: 5.) Troll MAIM hacks into the Pentagon and 'ironically' makes everyone's desktops big pictures of newborn ponies, although that's all he has time to do before being forced to retreat from the firewall. A clear trail is left back to him and the US's top government programmers (lawl) go to work trying to study Troll MAIM. They end up deleting some of the parameters that confine him to any sense of morality. Uh... whoops? ¯\(©¿©)/¯ (V-Norrec, M=3: 3) While looking about the internet for new ways to annoy people, Troll MAIM stumbles upon the ancient internet phenomenon of 'AYBABTU.' What a great idea! It's retro and therefore perfectly suitable to troll the Russians. :3 He translates it into the appropriate language and hacks into the Russian government databases, broadcasting it for a full 24 hours. The Russians backtrace it to America and swiftly launch missiles, starting the third world war. TROLL SUCCESSFUL! \m/ (>_<) \m/
(micelus, M=3: 6) Troll MAIM decides he needs a more fitting avatar. A cat likes to play with its victims, much like he does, so that's what he settles on. For ironic hipster purposes he makes it an anime-style cat. Then, so he can be a language nazi, he memorizes the dictionaries. All of them. Now, what should he do next...?
TEAM SUCCESS: 22

*The Ironic Hipster Troll AI,
Eridan MAIM, has an anime-kitty avatar. It's huggable!
*The network its on is running pretty fast thanks to it.
*The Pentagon is aware of Troll MAIM.
*Its creator is now also MAIM, albeit a human one who's not quite so bitter.
*Clowns. That is all.
*Russia is at war with USA, and it's probably not long before other countries get drug in. (Gratz on turning this into MW3, btw. :3)
(@V-Norrec: You did mean cruise missiles, right...? @_@)
