I read this the other day posted by VegasMirage and it got me thinking. Well, in truth, it hurt my head first.

"Once you become an item of interest, please contact us for further consoltuncy on jhow to pee vee pee on the forums. We offer forum warrioriing 101 and advanced character assassination technoques"

I have decided to start taking donations for a new foundation to improve the language skills of forum warriors and drama queens. My first goal is to purchase VegasMirage the Learn English Rosetta Stone software available here.

http://www.rosettastone.com/learn-english

I believe with the help of the Eve Online community, and of course $179 worth of isk, we can purchase a Level 1 copy for Vegas. According to the site this will allow him to: "Learn basic English conversational skills, including greetings and introductions, simple questions and answers, shopping and much more. " I know some of you are wondering why a native English speaker would need Rosetta Stone to forum warrior. If you are such a person then you have not read any Vegas posts.

Please send me any amount of isk you want to indicate your support for this endeavour. Every little bit helps. I know we all care a great deal about the core competency of forum warriors here in crime and punishment. Remember, it takes a village to raise a forum drama queen.

Since there are only two of us, I'm confirming you might be a Vegas alt. All are welcome at the Rosetta Stone Foundation for illiterate forum warriors, drama queens and tear generators.

Please contribute and improve the quality of forum warrioring.

I could smell your butthurt all the way from Tora's Marmite thread

in b4 the lock, asking for donations is clearly against the rules

Maybe you need Rosetta Stone Lessons so you can read the forum rules?

There are acceptable and unacceptable ways to carry out a grudge in this game.


Acceptable:
Blowing up the other person's ships
Smearing their character's name
Stealing assets from their character, encouraging others to do so

Unacceptable:
Using their character name to attempt to scam RL money
Setting their cat on fire


I am loving this Vegas/Marmite lovers' spat, however. Anything that makes HoleySheet1's character as apoplectic as this incident puts a smile on my dial, even if I don't know what started it and don't care.

I support the New Order and CODE. alliance. www.minerbumping.com

I'm sure you "smelled" it Vegas, because I posted an extensive advertisement for this thread, in that thread. As in it was written in big English text for you to read in that thread...by me. I know, you struggle to get anything right. It always comes back into your face.

This is not a scam and I am not really asking for donations. This is a community support project designed to improve forum warrioring. I will not be doubling anyone's isk.

Vegas, I'm sure if you cry enough CCP might decide to save you. Then you can take credit for their actions like you do for everything else. My hope is, given the flaming drama queen you are on these forums, is that they will let you twist in the wind for a while. Frankly, I thought you would bump this thread since it helps you to "be somebody" on the forums. I'm surprised that you do not like it. Think of all the lives that could be improved if forum warriors like yourself were taught to read and write.

5. Trolling is prohibited.

Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.
