One Trick Pony wants to know if he got banned

[Nighthawk 0]

I have no girlfriend. I'm cold and evil, and care for no one but myself. And he knows better than to fuck with me.

If Game really did things this creepy to posters here, why wasn't he banned any earlier? Actions like finding out where those nearest and dearest to you live etc. is just slightly disturbing. When he did this didn't anyone think of reporting it to the mods? Even though it's not on the board, it is related and that is seriously sick behaviour.

Ok how many of you are actually speaking from experience and how many of you are just going with the crowd?

I'm speaking from experience and first-hand accounts.

 

Anyone from WDI and SNKT can back-up what I am going to say below as everything stated is true with there being no embellishment of the truth in my post:

 

1. Harassing Loss4Words - the Game stalked Loss for nearly 2 years online in various ways.

 

Loss can come in and expand on anything Game related if he wants to.

 

2. Multiple user names - the Game has tried to impersonate numerous people, normally people who he had a problem with in the old WDI chat room, by spreading lies about them and making them look bad in general. The attempts at distorting an AIM name so that it would resemble the real user's screen name was tried but failed. The Game then resorted to creating new names and passing them off as a known user but with a new name (making up some excuse for the name change). The Game then played games with WDI late last year by IMing people under one of his user names and flaming them, only to recant words and blame someone else for impersonating him. This led to a number of AIM conversations being posted at the old WDI EZ Board but was deleted to clear up room. There is one conversation floating around where the Game admits to Hoff about his lying to other people and telling them he was being impersonated as being nothing more than means of payback for WDI banning him (twice). Jon Sterich, Bruiser Chong and old WDIer CerebusTheAardvark were 3 people that the Game tried to create distorted AIM names to use and play off as the real thing. I'm sure he has tried it with others (if anyone else wants to add to this as well).

 

3. Stalking - as mentioned above he stalked Loss4Words online for about 2 years and many other WDI/SNKT posters can attest to being harassed by the Game in some similar fashion. When the Game was banned from WDI a 2nd time, he got in touch with the girlfriend's of both Dutch and IllustriousOne. Josh and Dutch can add to this if they want.

 

4. Reverend Reason - in one of the Game's most over-the-top-headache induced ways of getting revenge, the Game went under the AIM name Reverend Reason and managed to squeeze a wedge between SNKT founders and long-time friends PORNFAQ and the ManInBlack/White which led to a month or so of drama where everyone was looking over their shoulders.

 

Anyone who wants to see what others like me are talking in regards to the Game's online actions over the years can check out the posts in either one of the threads:

 

Reverend Reason

 

ArchBishopLight

 

5. Perverted - the Game made it well-known to everyone at WDI that he was indeed "curious" about other males and let everyone know about it. The stories the Game shared about his gay-escapades mainly resembled the ones he shared here at TSM whereas some of his earlier musings at WDI were downright disgusting. One of the infamous stories about the Game's bisexual/homosexual behavior was when he made a post telling everyone how he tasted his own semen. There was also a story the Game relayed about how he let the neighborhood bully do him in the ass. I am vague on the details of the story so someone else who knows it can fill in the blanks (if they wish).

 

6. Flaming - after WDI admin Hoff made a mistake by suggesting that the Game might be causing trouble at WDI under a different board name (this was over a year ago), he proceeded to make a Photoshop collage of various pictures of Hoff. The collage contained crude word bubbles that had spiteful and cruel comments in them with the intent of humiliating Hoff. The post was quickly taken down and trashed. But the Game created his own message board for what seemed to be for the sole purpose of only posting the collage so that everyone would see his work without having to see it get taken it down. He was the only one who had a post at his board which was also titled with a rude name for Hoff.

 

7. Trolling - when The Thread Killer/Dave Dymond publicly denounced the Game for telling several WDI posters that Loss4Words had AIDS (a lie), the Game trolled Dymond at TSM. There was one post the Game made to Dymond in the TNA where he flamed him and made it clear he was only doing it because he disliked his ex-friend (who went to bat for the Game on numerous occasions).

 

8. "No" means NO - the Game has been banned from WDI more times than I can keep track of. He is on auto-ban at SNKT after his RR scam. He was also recently banned at the Cyber Sluts board (CWM/Banky's board) after he had been shortly banned from TSM. Whenever the Game was banned from WDI, twice under the name Game2705, he would come back with a different name and either post like nothing happened or he would try to get the last word in on the thread that ended up getting him banned. The Game can seemingly come back and post whenever he wants since he apparently has a dynamic (?) IP that allows him to get around being banned at message boards. In one instance, the Game demanded that his old name be unbanned at WDI while posting under a different name. His demand was met with another banning. The Game's latest return under the OTP name is just another example of him coming back after he was banned by a message board and not taking the hint given to him about his status at the board.

 

9. Wolf in sheep's clothing - in a chat that I, PORNFAQ and another WDI poster by the name of the GreatSmitty had that discussed Jay Bower's writing abilities, the Game came into the chat late and missed a section of the conversation where all 3 of us made it clear to one another that what would be said was in the way of constructive criticism and nothing more. At the end of the chat, which the Game had stayed in for the rest of it, I made it known to the Game that I knew he would use the chat as a way to start trouble between the 3 of us and Bower. The next night in a WDI chat, Bower had showed up and shortly after, the Game showed Bower the chat like I had predicted he would. I arrived in the chat and spoke to Jay about what had happened. When I asked Jay to show me the chat the Game had given him and I saw that he had he edited certain lines in the chat that made it seem as if we were flaming Jay for no reason. I showed Jay the real chat (which had been saved on my now defunct AIM +) and he understood what the Game had done with Smitty confirming to Jay what I had told him. This coincided with the Game being banned from WDI for the 2nd time after he had broken his promise to Dutch from his 1st banning about how he would not cause any drama at WDI. The reason the Game was banned from WDI was that shortly after he had left the chat from that night, he made a post that continued off from the chat we had both been in where I was arguing with him about the chat nonsense. The Game had brought drama from the chats into the board and this ended up earning him the 2nd and final banning under the Game2705 screen name at WDI.

 

The AIM conversations any of you have had him with him where you revealed any bit of personal information you might not want to see used in a malicious manner or repeated in public is a strong possibility.

 

Cozying up to posters who make their contact information public (AIM, MSN, etc.) has been a hallmark of the Game's since his days of stalking Loss. If he sees that you are vulnerable or gullible in some way, he will take advantage of it and later on exploit it if you "wrong" him in whatever the way might be.

 

10. Mentally Unstable - his offline character has been called into question after some personal encounters with posters.

 

I'm sure that other people who were around for the Game's heyday of causing trouble can add more to this list but the information I listed above is given with the intention of informing those who might not know about the his sordid past and helping them possibly avoid taking a bullet for their kindness and openness towards him.

Jesus...that's insane. I try not to reveal anything personal. I think he has tried to get me to say something gay. I've been asked several times if I would ever have sex with a man. I say NO everytime..and guess what? The answer will never change. But he quit asking that.

There is a lot of stuff here in favor of him being crazy. But I don't want to block him because this is one side. He tells a different story. I'm not sure what to think about it.....

[Nighthawk 0]

Fascinating history. But the way people talk about him, I expected it to be more like showing up at your house in the middle of the night and watching you sleep.

You're getting the same thing said by different people though. Basically its like 5 people giving you the same info thus forming one side to what Psycho-Homo is saying.

It just seems like more of a collaboration. He's told me that the L4W thing didn't even happen. Plus I know that people hated him so it wouldn't seem so far fetched that they'd want to say something bad about him.

Of course he is going to tell a different side of the story. One of his best defenses against his detractors is acting dumb or lost about what he does when someone calls him on his actions. Either that or else he tries to discredit the word of the people calling him on his actions by labelling them as "haters" who are mindlessly out to make him look bad because they listened to the "lies" Loss spread about him.

 

I can confidently tell you that Loss is not lying about the Game stalking him. I recall several instances where I would be talking to Loss on AIM and he would tell me how the Game would IM bomb him under different names after he would block one.

 

In a trick that pulled a couple people's strings, the Game faked having a heart attack in a WDI chat about a year ago. I might have this chat since it was when I had AIM + but needless to say a number of people were worried until the Game's story fell apart with plot holes which he was taken to task for his "joke."

[Guest FrigidSoul]

Usually you need a good reason to start hating somebody though. Of course you could always just ask for what threads shit is in and then go see for yourself.

 

Wasn't here for this guy's crap but from what I did see I found him an annoyance

[Cherry Blossom Viscount 0]

I'm going to go on record and say that Game2705 is the HHH circa 2000 of message boards and AIM. Sure, it shows his lack of social life, but the time and effort and sheer effectivness of his schemes is admireable.

[Bruiser Chong 0]

Well, even though Sass pretty much covered everything Game has done to a small core of people over the years (thus proving that it's not just a case of people jumping on the "hate bandwagon"), since my name was mentioned, I guess I should toss in my two cents on the matter.

 

When I was posting at the old WDI board back in early 2002, Game just seemed like a bit of an odd guy, and nothing more. I was new to the board, so I really had no clue as to what sort of things were going on with him and other posters on the board. At the time, he was a frequent WDI chat visitor and would often make many attempts to bring up his sexual misadventures whenever he could. Most people just figured he was odd and that he was looking for attention.

 

Then it became obvious that he had some homosexual tendancies and it's when people were trying to make him come to terms with the fact that he at least had an interest in men (after he discussed some activities with them that I don't wish to go into), I realized that he had some problems.

 

From there, a strong hatred towards myself began to come from the Game. Perhaps there was something that actually warranted it, but to be honest, I can't recall a single incident that would've pushed him over the edge towards me like that, so I'm going to guess it was either a bunch of small things (cracks towards him) or that I got along quite well with L4W.

 

Over time, I became pretty good net buddies with L4W, Sass, Jay, and CJ primarily and Game seemed to resent that tremendously. He made that clear when he "cloned" my AIM screen name and began harrassing me and basically damning me for being "friends" with the aforementioned quartet. Although I wasn't in the chat, later that night, he apparently showed up in a WDI chat and sent private IMs to various people with his version of my screen name, pretending to be me.

 

To wrap things up, I just learned to ignore him for the most part over here (the only place where he wasn't banned at the time) and just tried to avoid being in any thread he was a part of. I moved on, so to speak, but to this day, I'm still quite unclear as to why exactly he disdained me so much, but he did, making me his number one target after Loss. Most of you will say it's because I'm an ass, but most of his hatred and antics against myself came before the days of "Bruiser Chong."

 

I'll close by saying this--the 'net is full of a lot of weird folks, especially these messageboards. However, for the most part, it's not so much a negative weird, as it is a sort of odd that you learn to embrace. Obviously a lot of people say and do many things on these boards that makes me back up a bit and say, "Wow, he/she doesn't seem to be all there," but Game is the only person I've ever come across on the 'net who has legitimately freaked me out to the point where I'm reminded of all the tales of Internet weirdos that you hear so much about. The young man is a twisted individual and anyone (and honestly, I mean anyone) who's ever been foolish enough to stand up for him in any capacity, has come to regret it, as he eventually "turns" on anyone, even those few stupid enough to defend him. There's some issues (many, in fact) that he needs to work out, and at the risk of sounding paranoid, I'd advice anyone to keep their distance from him, no matter how much you may think those who bash him are just sour grapes. There's a reason why so many speak ill of him. His track record has only warranted such a reputation.

[BX 0]

Yeah.

[Hoff 0]

For record, I'd stay out of this, because it's over and done as far as my end goes, but I was asked to say something.

 

First of all, do not give him any piece of personal info. As some know, I'm a very trusting person, and open, and friendly. Consequently, I had placed my phone number in my AIM profile (which, yes, is incredibly retarded). He got it and called me a few times, and I thought nothing of it. Then, the daily calls started. Game would call me almost every day, and stay on the line. After some polite conversation, I'd explain I didn't know anything new, and try to get off the line. Game wouldn't have any of that, and so I'd end up on the line for, usually, 45 minutes to an hour. That in itself isn't that bad, albeit creepy, and I could have hung up if I so desired. But what was worse would be his...possessiveness. Case in point, if someone was sending me an instant message and he heard it, or if the TV was on, he'd get flustered and ask who I was talking to. Jokingly at first, but with increasing anger in his voice if it went on. I also got several phone calls over the course of, oh, let's say six months, at all hours of the night. One time he called me at 5 AM due to being afraid of a thunderstorm. I'm not a betting man, but i'd wager he was on something that night. Suffice to say, these behaviors began to worry and eventually frighten me.

 

Game would also talk at length about men he knew online, which was fine. But it so happened that one of them was from Minnesota, where I live. He proceeded to continually bring up the subject of coming to see me, and all but invited himself over at the end.

 

What you have to understand is that I went along with all of this. I understood that Game didn't have a lot of friends, and that he needed someone to talk to. So, despite a growing sense of fear and dread, I kept a correspondence going. However, eventually it all came to a head. This is probably in large part due to the fact that, after having claimed to not be interested in me sexually and understanding I was straight, Game later admitted that he WAS attracted to me, and was hoping more or less against hope.

 

Eventually, I told Game that I didn't want anything more to do with him, and that was that. This, by the way, was well after he was banned from WDI at least once. That's when the infamous smear campaign against me started. I blocked him, changed my number, and that was that.

 

About four months later, after a few emails, I began to feel a little guilty for a few lies I had told, and moreover for basically cutting him from my life in the way I did. As I said, I believe he is not well in the head, and needs people to talk to (sadly, he frightens most of them). So I sent him a message apologizing and asking how he was, hoping to leave it at that. Game, instead, took this as a cue to basically pick up where we'd left off, and chimed in with the talk of coming to Minnesota again, at which point I blocked him without warning and haven't spoken to him since (this was in February).

 

Let me just say that I do really think he's mentally ill, and has severe issues with feeling liked and emotional attachment. I don't think that, at his core, he's a bad person, but he's certainly dangerous. I can tell you with 100% certainty that he did get Dutch's girlfriend's personal information, and I have no idea how. I don't believe that he'd come to one's house and stalk them, physically...but I wouldn't put it past him, either. I'm not saying to break contact with him, but just watch yourself.

[Damaramu 0]

Interesting......wow.....I'm just wow.......

I showed him a few pictures of me....the ones I posted in the "What Do You Look Like?" thread? Is that bad? Oh and.....he told me that he wasn't attracted to me and I told him I was totally straight and that would never change....but now you're saying that he eventually will say he's attracted to me?

These are some great stories.

[Guest stardust]

What you have to understand is that I went along with all of this. I understood that Game didn't have a lot of friends, and that he needed someone to talk to. So, despite a growing sense of fear and dread, I kept a correspondence going.

Exactly. He seems to be good at finding the nice people and sucking us in. He needed a friend, so I was his friend. He honestly had me totally believing him that the L4W thing was all a lie and that he hadn't really been stalking/harrassing him. I knew he had a thing for you (this is to Hoff), but he never told me all of it, and then one day he just hated you for no apparent reason and tried to tell me I couldn't talk to you anymore. Whatever. Then he made that messageboard, and I kept thinking to myself "okay, note to self, never piss this guy off." I'm still not entirely sure what I ever did to piss him off or why he decided to IM me under that other screen name and say the things he did, but after that I blocked him and set my buddy list so that anyone not on my buddy list can't see when I'm online.

 

It took some convincing to get me to register and start posting here, because I knew Game was a TSM member, and I didn't want my presence to start any drama because of him. Sure enough, he took some shots at me, but it had been expected so I just shrugged it off.

 

Like others who have said something in this thread, if you do talk to him on a normal basis, don't give him any personal info and just be expecting the psycho moment, because it will happen.

[Hoff 0]

Yeah...great stories...wait, how's that again?

 

I dunno if you were being sarcastic or what, but this isn't NHB, so if you don't have anything pertinent or at least civil to say, don't say anything at all. This guy messed with a lot of people's lives, and I don't really think it's a laughing matter.

 

Forgiveness if I jumped to conclusions; the whole deal just puts me on edge.

[justsoyouknow 0]

These stories are amazing. Simply...insane.

 

How could he seriously think that people "switch teams" like that? How could he possibly get Dutch's GF's info?

Dama, watch your back, man. You seem like a decent guy, don't get too deep with Game.

 

I'm intrigued about this "smear campaign" against Hoff. What exactly did it entail?

[Damaramu 0]

Hmm...I'm still confused. You have to understand where I'm coming from. I've had things spread about me before from by a wide group of people. Ever since I finally stood up for myself in the 6th grade and broke the nose of the school bully who happened to also be the most popular guy in the school I had to deal with people disliking me for no reason and spreading shit. But then again I don't know if Game did anything to warrant malicious false rumors spread about him. I don't know Hoff very well but I can tell that he's a pretty good guy....and he's a big fan of my OAOAST character...that adds extra points....so I dunno....I'll wait to see what he says to me if he IM's me later.
