Because this thread contains some graphic imagines, racist terms in the sense of explaination and not to mention language I have to say: if you can't handle reading it, than don't.

Also, this was written by me (bi0h4z4rd) and is meant to be humourous. Again, this is meant to sound serious but in a way sound funny. It's mature subject matters but looked at in a "professor" type view with dark humour attached... so enjoy!


Recently I've noticed the propoganda that is floating around in a CS game. Read below....

Spray Logo's
Graphic Spray Logo containing gross nudity: http://myweb.cableone.net/wdavis/yum.jpg [Warning: This link contains graphic obscene nudity -- By clicking it you are saying you are mature enough to handle it and at least 18 years of age]
This is the reason I have disallowed the use of sprays on my server.
Why do people think it's stupid? Because apparently "spraying" someone comes with the term of "owning" someone. Let us look into what it means to be "owned".

You got owned
It seems in Counter-Strike that killing someone you have the right to say "You got owned". More importantly, the new fad is to spell it wrong, e.g. "pwned", "pwnt", "pwnz0r" etc.
Lets break down the most popular slangs you get called in CS. Usually if I get killed pretty quickly I am "owned", "n*ggered", "raped" etc.

We'll examine these three since they are the most popular.
1. Owned:To have or possess as property.
2. n*gger: (ethnic slur) offensive name for a Black person. Some say it means "lazy" and others "ignorant".
3. Rape: To force (another person) to submit to sex acts, especially sexual intercourse; commit rape on.

To tell me I have been "owned" seems to mean they "own" my life, my house, my car, my wife and everything else. To say I was "n*ggered" can only mean that I was ethnically made to look like a lazy dumbass. And of course, saying I was "raped" means I was forced into a sexual act or taken advantage of.

Black Slaves?
Back in the 1700's... Black men who were "owned" by White men were "forced" into a ship and sent to the Americas and sold as a "slave". Many of these slaves were racially known as a "Negro" or "n*gger". On this ship many of the black women were taken advantage of and raped sexually by the White "slave" "owners". Think about this next time you tell someone they've been "owned".

Death is Racism?
What does any of this have to do with anything? Well let us look what you are saying to someone next time you make a kill in Counter-Strike.
To say "you were owned", "you got n*ggered" or "you've been raped"--or even saying them all together... e.g. "You got owned, n*gger"--is to call someone a "owned negro slave who gets sexually taken advantage of".
Why is this important to know? Since when does pressing a mouse faster and aiming better at a 3-dimenstional character make you an "owned negro slave"? It doesn't. It's part of the slangs developed by bored teenagers without thinking of the reprocussions of their words.

You n00b
One of the most popular "insults" besides being "owned" is "n00b". Apparently it ok to spell the word "newbie" improperly and add double zero's. Sometimes it is spelt "noob", "newb" but on rare occasions, usually when the insulter is having a nice day.

Let us look at the other common three insults to be called:
1. Newbie: a novice at using computer technology or the Internet.
2. Jew: A member of the widely dispersed people originally descended from the ancient Hebrews and sharing an ethnic heritage based on Judaism.
3. STFU: To "shut the f*ck up" or forcefully be told to not speak.

So what are you saying when you say "stfu n00b" or "stfu jew"? You're saying "shut the f*ck up you native of the ancient kingdom of Judah who can't operate a computer." Some may not find this funny.

Console Novice?
Can a "novice" really play CS? Well what does it take to get on a server? For one you have to install CS. Not to mention you have to load it up, configure your keyboard, find a server and play. Does not knowing how to enable the console make you a "n00b"? Well let's see... Since you have to load the Game, go to Options, select the Keyboard tab, push Advanced and enable Console than the answer is NO--You are not a "n00b" if you don't know how to enable the console. Why? Not many users do Advanced settings or care to see what is in them. If someone doesn't know how to enable the console menu don't call them a "n00b". Instead, call them "half-witted", "learn to check every option first before asking on a server with 'l33t' people", "check the internet or message boards before asking", or simply tell the answer to this "novice" user who didn't bother looking for it.

Spray Logo's?
So what do "sprays" have to do with anything? Well what do people use "sprays" for? The thing nowadays seems to be you shoot someone--also known as "owned"--and then spray their body. Here is an example:

bi0h4z4rd was killed by SomeGuy with ak47.
* Terrorists Win! *
* SomeGuy then sprays me with http://myweb.cableone.net/wdavis/yum.jpg *
SomeGuy: omfg owned!
*DEAD* SomeOtherGuy: hahaha owwwned!
SomeGuy: j00 got n*ggered :)
*DEAD* SomeOtherGuy: he got raped
*DEAD* bi0h4z4rd: gj
SomeGuy: stfu n00b
*DEAD* bi0h4z4rd: pffft
*DEAD* SomeOtherGuy: f*cken n00b

So why do people--usually between 16 & 20--use sprays that contain graphic nudity and obscene images? It's simple. It gives the user the priveledge of saying "owned" to another. This then leads to disrespect, immaturity, name calling and fighting. Lets see what would happen if I were to partake in it:

*New Round *
bi0h4z4rd killed SomeGuy with m4a1.
bi0h4z4rd killed SomeOtherGuy with m4a1.
* Sprays both with "Gabe Is Fat" logo *
bi0h4z4rd: owned fags
SomeOtherDude killed bi0h4z4rd with ak47.
*DEAD* SomeGuy: hahahaha
*DEAD* SomeGuy: owned bitch
*DEAD* bi0h4z4rd: stfu newb
*DEAD* SomeOtherGuy: LOL
*DEAD* SomeGuy: eat shit and die jew
*DEAD* bi0h4z4rd: f*ck off lamer
*DEAD* SomeOtherGuy: stfu fag
*DEAD* bi0h4z4rd: f*ck YOU!
*DEAD* SomeGuy: you got owned now stfu n00b
*DEAD* bi0h4z4rd: really?
*DEAD* SomeOtherGuy: yup
*DEAD* bi0h4z4rd: I seem to remember owning you first dumbass
* Counter-Terrorists Win! *
*DEAD* bi0h4z4rd: Now who's laughing, bitch.

Too funny I have to say. Now none of these conversations actually happened they came from my own imagination but are true examples of how out of hand things can get because of being "owned" or "sprayed".

Overall
So what have we learned?
1. One cannot "own" you since slavery was abolished. Also, it's not pwned or pwnt... it's "owned", spell it right... but first know what it really means.
2. Telling someone they've been "n*ggered" is NOT an insult, rather you are insulting your own intelligence by saying it.
3. Killing someone and even the whole team is not "rape". Unless you sodomized the opposing team of males, again, you are simply insulting your own intelligence and quite possibly your sexuality.
4. Being called a "Jew" is simply stupid. Next time I get called a "jew" I'm calling you a catholic.
5. Again with the "n00b" remark, spell it right but also know what it means. The correct way to spell it is "newbie" but most importantly know what it means. Asking a question does not make you a novice at internet or computer technology.
6. Telling someone to "shut the f*ck up" (STFU) is not nice. You should try "Please be quiet" or even "Can you please not talk right now?"


Conclusion
So next time you want to tell someone to "stfu", "you've been pwned", "you got n*ggered", "I just raped you all", "you jew" or "n00b" you may be saying:
"shut the f*ck up you native of the ancient kingdom of Judah who can't operate a computer and is my owned negro slave who I sexually take advantage of."


Written by bi0h4z4rd,
If you didn't like this, I don't care... stfu.
 
Wow. You tried to make that post all tongue in cheek serious, by analysing something silly with an over the top academic spin.

Unfortunatly it was not very well writen, and I stopped reading when you starting listing the ways to type owned.
 
Also

"Written by bi0h4z4rd,

Wow, how insecure are you?

Thanks so much for telling everybody. What a great post!
BRAVO CHAP, BRAVO! :|

Hehe anyway, that was a pretty funny little article.
Nice humerous change of perspective.
 
hahahahahahahaha.......your the man....
 
"Written by bi0h4z4rd,

I was mocking myself by saying stfu and not "please don't speak"... was meant for humour.

And uh, no... I'm not insecure. You clearly missed it.
 
What would online gaming be without a healthy amount of smack talk?

*round over*
Bob: I defeated you all in this online pursuit.
Jim: Yes you are indeed a fine player Bob. Although I was quite disadvantaged by my stratospheric ping.
Bob: Yes indeed, poor you, I sympathize with your connection problems.
Jim: Thank you Bob. You are magnanimous in your victory.

I'd choke myself if I had to go through that. I'll take a concise 'omfg n00bs, yall got pwned biatches!' 'wth STFU!' and then go back n pwn his ass. Theres no need to analyze it so deeply. I do agree with leaving out racial slurs. Hmm, pr0n sprays in CS eh, I never played CS but this is tempting.
 
I can't believe the amount of people taking this so seriously... and flaming the post because you don't like it actually makes the post funny, you're pointing out some hilarious irony :LOL:

LMAO!!!!

But I have to agree, at least with the porn sprays: they should be banned, honestly my kids play this game.
 
Yes, and no one is "cool" because we're all within a few degrees of 98.6* fahrenheit.

Yes, the language does not evolve. It is a static, never-changing thing that will never bow to the whims of the public. What do they know?

Be honest. If this thread was a joke, it wasn't funny. If it was serious, stfu and get a life, retard.

Word, you member of the widely dispersed people originally descended from the ancient Hebrews and sharing an ethnic heritage based on Judaism.
 
And does **** (fsck) mean "Fornification Under the Consent of the King"? Focus less on the etymology of words and more on playing HL.

It sounds like you got beaten really badly by a 12 year old who said he'd "pwnt j00" and then decided to lash out by trying to act sophisticated. Pssh.
 
and this is why i hate cs
it became wrecked when people who usually never touch computers got cs and became "1337" cause they can do headshots.
they arent gamers and ruined it for the real gamers./
 
Don't let the mods see this thread, else you'll be banned for posting pr0n links... even if it is to prove a point.

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe spammers aren't all that bad after all.

I don't like the pimplication that I'm a spammer.
 
Yeah, and I don't like SPAM. Apparently we'll both have to deal with our dislikes.
 
Sorry R3al, but I think the thread's creator is kicking himself for making such a stupid, pointless, poorly thought out creation ( this thread).

No point in continuing a won argument, eh?
 
Maybe it was an accident?
But then again, he could have clicked edit...omg n000b jew face gtfo!

omg the spammers have hijacked the thread! :cheese:

spammers? you were the one who double-posted. dont even pretend that was an accident.
 
Shut up tantalus
I have a bigger post count, and the bigger the post count the bigger my penis is

Youre fat
 
Guys,
First off I am disapointed that so many people here would be stuck up and act exactly the way I pointed in this thread. "omfg he said something that people have been wanting to say for a long time, like omfg man stfu man!"
PLEASE!

What I typed out is for a laugh and somewhat mock of these kids who say "stfu" and "you got pwned" all the time. Think of it as a MAD TV skit.

To sit there and talk shit to me because I typed something out and shared it with my halflife2.net friends is low. What have I done wrong? Typed out a useless and pointless thread? If that is how you feel than oh-well and I'm sorry you feel that way.
To be honest, I tell people they get owned too. This was the topic in my irc channel a few nights ago:
Think you got what it takes? Then sign up: http://xxxxxxxxxxxx || [ZDC] owned last night!!!

I'm surprised people think I'd go into this sophisticated thinking but that's kinda the humour. The only people we should be hating on this forum are LAMERS. We should all be a big group of friends and aquintances who enjoy the same thing. No reason to bash me guys, c'mon be reasonable.
*At least my wife found it funny*

I do think that people have overused the "you got owned" and made it to turn into a fight and the sprays people use are rediculous. I'd like to meet someone who is 24 and married like myself that uses a graphic image like that.

TO THE MODS: I apologize if I broke some sort of rule about posting inappropriate sexually explicit pictures. I did state the nature of it's contents so people clicking the link shouldn't be surprised, it was clearly to prove a point of how wrong it is. I assume the first order of action would be to warn me or hopefully just simply edit the post and delete / edit the link.

To everyone else, please lighten up.This is a place to have fun and SHARE information or whatever. Yes this thread is completely pointless and had nothing informative but it's meant for a good laugh. A "ha ha" at those "l33t" people. hehe

And to this guy:

No I did not get beat by someone 12 years younger than me. I own a server and manage it so in SSH I hear alot of the comments users say to each other and find it funny. Nice try with trying to make me look like an idiot though. :)


To the others who responded nicely, I appreciate it. I think it's nice that I can post on my own forum and every single user will say something positive but on a different forum 2/3 posts are negative.

Edit:
To the guy who said I'm kicking myself for making such a stupid pointless thread... ummmm, no I'm not. I typed it up, I thought it up, if you don't like than stfu n00b. (heheh)
 
I dont see why you are getting your panties in a bunch, without smack talk, internet gaming would blow

And you over use sarcasm
get a new schtick
 
May I ask why people get so upset with double posting on the internet, people always freak out and I never got it, it's not that big of a deal. I'm seriously curious.
