A Troll By Any Other Color Would Be As Annoying
I’m playing on a rather small Minecraft server when a new player approaches me.
Player: “Hey, [My Gamertag]!”
Me: “Hello! Welcome to the server.”
Player: “You’re wearing diamond gear. Can I have some?”
Me: “I’m sorry, no. I barely have enough to keep my armor repaired.”
Player: “I’m black.”
Me: “Okay, and?”
Player: “Give me diamonds.”
Me: “Look, I already said no. I can help you mine for them, but I can’t just give you my stuff.”
Player: “Racist!”
Me: “What?”
Player: “You’re not giving me diamonds because I’m black!”
Me: “No, I’m not giving you diamonds because I can’t spare any.”
Player: “[Moderator #1], [My Gamertag] is harassing me!”
The mod has read the entire exchange.
Moderator #1: “…”
Player: “[My Gamertag] is a racist. BAN HIM.”
Moderator #1: “I’m not banning him, and you need to calm down, [Player].”
Player: “You’re racist, too! This server sucks!”
Me: “Just be quiet. Nobody is buying into your crap.”
Player: “F*** you, f****t!”
Moderator #1: “Stop cursing, or you’re going to be banned.”
Player: “You can’t tell me what to do, p****-a** b****!”
The mod bans the player.
A few days later, a player with a very similar username joins.
Player: “Hi, I’m white. Give me diamonds.”
Me: “Didn’t [Moderator #1] ban you a few days ago?”
Player: “I don’t know what you mean.”
Me: “Listen, I don’t have any diamonds to spare.”
Player: “You’re a racist! You’re a hacker! You’re…”
The player proceeds to call me every name in the book and proceeds to contradict himself multiple times, saying that I hate black people and then later saying I hate white people.
Me: “Hey, [Moderator #2]! Can you ban this guy?”
Player: “I haven’t done anything!”
I couldn’t help laughing; this guy was so stupid. [Moderator #2] banned him.
I haven’t seen him since, but I still joke about it sometimes with my friends. To this day, I wonder if he was a troll or just plain dumb. I hope it’s the former; otherwise, I would lose faith in humanity.
