This happens every few months.
Ertai shows up.
People s**t themselves.
I ask who he is.
I get no response.

[Waves his fingers.] Time for another one of my bullshit stories. Earlier, it was the evolution of Pendulum Step. Today, it shall be Ertai Vexic.
Long ago. [Waves left hand.] When the world was young and I was 15 or so, I attended my first GTB. It was my first "competitive roleplay" of the ilk. I was naive and young. But before I battled my first Pendulum Step, I saw Ertai.
Now I didn't know Ertai. I still don't, and this is probably all past-tense in regards to him. But what I did know, was his posts tended to droll on in size 8 or 9 without paragraphs, and that they tended to overuse the term "god." I mean every other sentence had "God" in it, every post consistently. It grated the nerves.
I jumped into the scene during what was apparently Gaia's "psionic" and "planar magic" phase. I had mid-stage-development Omi watch people's matches with the intent to learn IC by imitation. Well, I happen to read a match with Ertai, and what I witnessed troubled me.
Namely in that Ertai, you clashed two dimensions together and shot the aftermath at your opponent, like some kind of perverted super-Hadoken. And if that wasn't bad enough, you claimed as some kind of absurd restricting point to balance it, that it couldn't travel faster than the speed of light in the second paragraph or it'd fail - yet in the 26th paragraph, you claim it hit the opponent faster than light itself.
Now stop and picture that for a moment, Roen. Not only did he summon two whole galaxies and bash them together before exploding the aftermath in his opponent's mouth, not only did he perform some absurd min-maxing, but he foiled his own attack in the very post he made it. When I pointed this out OOC, I distinctly remember him stating something along the lines of "Oops. I'll fix that."
This is why I remember and know Ertai Vexic. I've used him as the butt-monkey of my roleplaying examples over the years ever since, and now, as I approach the age of 20, here he is again. With a disturbing smile on his face, and likely no clue what in the hell I'm talking about. Probably not a clue at all.
For more stories like the time I blew up a lawnmower with fireworks causing a house that was to be purchased by a new owner in 3 days to have a 5' crater in its porch, visit your local library and have them suck my p***s to climax.

Kichiro claimed he was using such powers to fight the others, but he fell as much into the trap as anyone else. I just used Yusuke during those days to Finger Bang people whenever they tried those lame tricks on him.

Wait...was this the guy that Grim Mana made fun of for the length of the first GTB? Because this all sounds very familiar but I could never recall the guy's name.

Saphen Didn't he go on to host the Dark Tournament after that? I didn't host it. I advertised for it. Others were the ones running it.

It's unfortunate you didn't save all the matches from GTB I, but right 'ere-
http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=6766575&page=5
-would be the infamous time young me faced for my first time, Pendulum Step. And it would be this day forward that all would know-Quote: So, Omi was charging at a leg that'd risen no more than a foot or so off the ground and landed quickly, as per the stomp kick's mechanics- a stomp was hard and fast. But it was performed five feet away. Lazenca never meant to hit Omi, just get him to move. It'd be great if the thing landed, but in no way, shape or form was Lazenca expecting it to land. Oops.
