On August 15,
2004, I decide I'm going to pick a random person in a video game chat
room and say the following:

About fifteen to twenty minutes later
I come back to the same person and start again:
GaryZeroSixThree: Hi, violent_mikeyy, your
name has been selected for a contest to win a free copy of Doom 3.
I am a trivia bot. For rules, please type !rules. For commands, please
type !commands
GaryZeroSixThree: The questions will begin.
Are you ready?
GaryZeroSixThree: The questions will begin.
Are you ready?
GaryZeroSixThree: The questions will begin.
Are you ready?
GaryZeroSixThree: You have not responded.
Good bye.
GaryZeroSixThree: To take the test type
!taketest
After a few minutes it occurs to me,
violent mikeyy has put me on his ignore list. I quickly create another
account.
garyzerozerozero: Hi,
violent_mikeyy, your name has been selected for a contest to win a free
copy of Doom 3.
I am a trivia bot. For rules, please type !rules. For commands, please
type !commands
garyzerozerozero: The questions
will begin. Are you ready?
garyzerozerozero: The questions
will begin. Are you ready?
garyzerozerozero: The questions
will begin. Are you ready?
garyzerozerozero: Question#1 -
What is the name of the small brown creature you meet early on in the
original doom?
garyzerozerozero: You have not
responded. Good bye.
To take the test type !taketest
Okay, he must have left his computer
for a long period of time. Or else he set Yahoo to ignore anyone who's
not on his contact list.
I switch back to my original account
and go do something else for a while. Hopefully, he's simply away and
will reply when he gets back. After all, he asked if he could take the
test again in the first place. Eventually, I try again:
GaryZeroSixThree: Hi, violent_mikeyy, your
name has been selected for a contest to win a free copy of Doom 3.
I am a trivia bot. For rules, please type !rules. For commands, please
type !commands
violent_mikeyy
: ok sweet
GaryZeroSixThree: The questions will begin.
Are you ready?
violent_mikeyy
:

violent_mikeyy
:

GaryZeroSixThree: Question#1 - What is the
name of the small brown creature you meet early on in the original doom?
violent_mikeyy
:

GaryZeroSixThree: That is incorrect. The
answer is mancubus.
violent_mikeyy
:

GaryZeroSixThree: I'm sorry I do not
understand this statement.

GaryZeroSixThree: Question#2 - What button
is assigned to the flashlight in Doom3?
GaryZeroSixThree: You can still win! You
must answer 4 of the questions correctly.
GaryZeroSixThree: Question#2 - What button
is assigned to the flashlight in Doom3?
GaryZeroSixThree: You have not responded.
To continue the test type !resume
Okay, I'm thinking he's not going to
bother answering so he can just start the test again. I change my
tactics slightly. I send him a large number of unanswered messages.
Then his status changes to "available". Apparently he left again.
Determined to get his attention, I keep at it on both accounts until:
garyzerozerozero:
The questions will begin. Are you ready?
violent_mikeyy
: yea
garyzerozerozero: Question#1 -
What is your name?
violent_mikeyy
: mikey
garyzerozerozero: That is
correct. The answer is Little Stupid Dildo Boy.
You do not win Doom3, on account of your sucking.
Thanks for playing. Your score was 0 out of 5.
Nothing.
Sigh. So much effort for so little response. Oh well.
