The Grand Duck's Comments

It happened in a well-designed, badly-coded and completely unmoderated MMO that is now dead. It was caveman themed, where characters and villages persisted and could be attacked after logging out, and respawning was a serious pain in the ass. Naturally... PKing happened...

I ran out of ideas for character names, so one day I simply created a character named after my favorite pokemon. His first act upon being spawned into this world was to amble into the nearest settlement, and stab a friend's character to death (very slowly, she was idled) and yell "Psyduck used Scratch! [character] fainted. Psyduck gained # XP!" He would continue to do this after every kill he made, sometimes substituting Scratch with Water Gun.

Then he settled down. Content with the game, all he did was occasionally psy yi yi at people in global chat (which displayed only the most recent 150 comments or so). Then some of my friends decided to launch an unholy crusade against the cheaters in the game and their supporters (basically everyone but us ignored this rule against alternate account abuse, so we had to kill everyone). So Psyduck assisted and helped to burn down the village, slay the inhabitants and scatter them to the four winds, and take everything they owned and either keep or destroy it.

As an aside, this group of my friends were themed after mongol raiders, naming themselves the Golden Horde, and had a long tradition of sacrificing to the river gods- basically dumping enemies' looted goods into the river where they could not ever be retrieved. So some of those behaviors eventually influenced this particular Psyduck. Their leader was a man nicknamed the Grand Dahlia, so I eventually named Psyduck the Grand Duck in honor of him.

At this point, Psyduck's psy yi yi on global chat got more and more persistent. He would do things like sing the pokemon theme in psyduck-ese and fill the page with nothing but rants consisting entirely of his own name. Some of them were actually gramatically correct. He became a chatspammer. Since chat only displayed a set number of recent comments, Psyduck could fill all of chat with psy yi yi yi yi, destroying whatever previously existed. So he became pretty powerful, since the absentee admins did nothing about this even when they came back and saw it. Eventually I wrote a macro program to automate the psy yi yi, so that literally no one could speak in global chat without psyduck's permission or psy yi yi would drown out their words with a click of a button.

Psyduck's looting/burning/murdering career skyrocketed, and he became something of a celebrity. He had a lot of fallen villages renamed after him by his allies in the Golden Horde. They are listed on his character page.

Highlights of his murdering and burning career include: -Taking control of a town almost entirely single-handedly by hit and running the clueless inhabitants despite being outnumbered 4 to 1. Thanks to a flaw in game mechanics, he also managed to become leader of this completely hostile town, making it look like they voted their mortal enemy psyduck into power.
-He was personally responsible for at least one villager's very public ragequit. Until the game shut down, his profile had a sarcastic quote from her trimmed down to make it look like she was thanking him for breaking her village.
-I managed to break into a famous alt abusers' 40 (!) accounts due to some very very poor password choices and made them permanently exile themselves in a lake (via removing their ability to swim). For roleplay reasons, my friends chose to believe that Psyduck mind-controlled all the cheating accounts into permanent suicide through the hypnotic power of his psy yi yi chatspam.
-Being permanently retired by me for a few months and coming back as a new character, "Psydunk", a pot-smoking psyduck who screamed "4/20 PSY YI YI PSYDUCK" and spammed the infamous space jam theme in psyduckese. He would eventually steal some really-hard-to-get uber weapons from someone stupid enough to drop them into a town stockpile, so he was also one of the best-armed people in the game, too.
-Inspired a short-lived trend where people would create pokemon accounts in imitation of the great Psyduck. They would spam chat with their names, and murder non-allied villagers with said pokemon. Vulpix, magikarp, eevee, slowbro, slowpoke, snorlax, I think there was even a digimon somewhere. Also Magikarp and slowpoke created a noobtrap called Pallet Town near the noob spawning area and basically killed any noob who was unfortunate to end up inside or nearby, while yelling "karp karp karp magikarp" and "slooooooowpoke". It was pretty grand.
-Psyduck converted to two religions- 1) entropy worship, based on the Planescape faction "Doomguard", with the goal to reduce everything to eternal nothingness 2) RNG worship, an in-game religion of my own making. So psyduck both worshipped the complete obliteration of the universe and also became a champion of the RNG goddess, Rando.

Eventually, the game crashed and burned thanks to the Golden Horde, since the game became a paranoid wasteland where most everyone who was not either us or an ally was killed within days and damn near everyone was in hiding. Our efforts made it nearly impossible to find a revive at this point if you weren't an ally, so the game roster was filled with either griefers (us or manipulated by us) or dead folks. Chat was a wasteland as well, since it was either a) psy yi yi duck duck duck duuuuck or b) really really nasty remarks that psyduck occasionally allowed to remain, in order to show folks why psy yi yi was the preferable option.

So yeah, the admins pulled the plug since the game was going nowhere, and now Psyduck spends retirement occasionally shitposting on toyhou.se. I will make a short comic partially depicting his motives behind the mongol-style looting and burning eventually :)
