Flame Warriors ~ View topic - Warrior: Copy-Paysta

This may have already been suggested. however I tend to run into it more frequently in the forums I go to. Yes, I am new, and this is my first attempt:

Copy-Paysta

Copy-Paysta is a rather weak warrior whose attacks are nothing more then plagiarised information from other sites. The Copy-Paysta usually has no means of defending himself on his own, so makes an attack by creating an obviously offensive topic to attract attention only to follow it up with a series of numerous articles, copied and pasted from other sources to comprise his argument. usually when confronted directly on the information attained, the Copy-Paysta usually has no relevant remark to add, or makes some ill devised attempt at insulting the assaulting warrior. Once the soft underbelly of a Copy-Paysta is exposed, he will quickly retreat. Weaker, usually more ignorant, Warriors may fall victim to his claims and side with him in a futile attempt to hold ground.

(I would have added more but i ran into writers block. what do you think, and has anyone seen this warrior before? if so please add to the description)

I thank any and all who participate.

Definately seen it, but I think it's already here on another name.

Welcome to the forum, BTW. Your initiation into either the forces of chaos or the imperium of man will begin somewhere in the next couple of days. Odds of survival are currently less then 1 in 50.

Sorry Fence, it looks like I might've scared off another newbie.

nah still here. this site seems way to interesting for me to be scared away for long.

Oh. Well in that case, expect to see a lot of Warhammer 40K references around here. And at least a few people who can't figure out what the forums are for.

no problem. I am not an avid player but I have dabbled in 40K.

Also, I run into this type that I am thinking of calling Accentinels. Those who use codes like BOLD excepts they use it to show emotion like:

I know I saw it. Because it's Post Pirate and Source Parrot from my old guestbook entries.

I do the copy/paste thing alot. Mostly out of lazyness. I figure why give an intelligent response when everyone else is a bunchof apes and pigs anyway?

Yep, the eternal optimist lol! Razz

I wonder what would happen if you and CB had a battle. The forum would be plagued by lawyers screaming about copyright infringements...

I think this could really be a mix of impostor (for pretending to have original work), along with tireless rebuttal. Seems like it might be the opposite of furious typist though considering that no effort is put in to actually type the stuff. Maybe this would be loathed by furious typist for that reason, who knows?
