What exactly is TK?

Post by Gandalf »

Since today's day of infamy, the phrase TK has been flying around a lot, I was wondering, what exactly is it?
"Oh no, oh yeah, tell me how can it be so fair
That we dying younger hiding from the police man over there
Just for breathing in the air they wanna leave me in the chair
Electric shocking body rocking beat streeting me to death"

- A.B. Original, Report to the Mist

"I think it’s the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately."
- George Carlin

Its a board. Bunch of crazies and degenerates and me hang out there.

Just don't take them too seriously. Half the posters on that board are duals of one guy.

Its right here

Anarchy and other unpleasant stuff.

It's TrollKingdom. But who is behind this organization is beyond my knowledge.

What about Mos Eisley? We don't have Firgin D'aan and the Modal Nodes!

TK is a gaming term, meaning Team Kill, or Friendly Fire.

They were musicians not criminals.

...and since you, at TK miss artists, that's why it's even worst than Mos Eisley. :wink:

I still don't understand though what's the pleasure in ruining other people's work and posts... :? :cry: :evil:

Its most infamous meaning, though, is Troll Kingdom.

And not friendly, happy trolls like Fraggle Rock.

For a while I was considering joining up to defend the honor of our resident Gonzo Journalist, but then I thought better of making any connection with that board. And the fact that it wouldn't have done any good probably had something to do with it too.

Hey, it never hurts to try. That's one of the reasons I'm here. Unfortunately, the TK mods are a bit less hands-on than Mkie, so you are on your own in there.

What I want to know is here the fuck these people came from and why. Seriously, from my pov these folks did not even exist and suddenly we were getting invaded, and serious hacking as a result.

Why do they drop the gauntlet like this? Who, why, and for what purpose? To what gain? Mike does not sanction board invasions being launched from the Star Destroyer so I seriously doubt we fired the first shot.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."


In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around!

If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!!
Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

Its a loooooooooooooooooooong story and like many things, it depends on your point of view as to who started it. I'd refer you to the threads chronicalling this, but Mike erased all evidence of the "incident".

Suffice it to say, it started small, and no one would let it die, so it got bigger and bigger. Been about a month, now.

As for a purpose? My guess is for laughs. Why does anyone hack a message board?

But then, the mind of a hacker is a mystery to me.

I registered there more than a week ago, but I can't post a fucking thing. My e-mails have gotten me nowhere either. Seeing as how no one there is going to clue me in, care to give it a shot?

I'm registered.
I can log in.
I cannot post.
Is there some fucked up initiation I'm unaware of?

See? And you all think I'm a worthless troll 8)

Everytime I read those posts, I feel my brain cells dying. What a shithole...

Yes, the poster uses some terms Mike uses, but it's not his style.

I find the whole thing rather lame- oh well, they'll soon be gone. They join such prestigious company as a bunch of white supremacists and steroid taking morons that trolled before.
