I'm supposed to believe AV stayed up til 3 or 4 in the morning in Japan just so his Drinky posts could have believable PST timestamps?

Uhhh

I already knew this, in a way. The way JackFrost would sometimes lash out at Nintendo fans and Nintendo products just had a very Drinky ring to it, and I remember making the connection a few times.

So I guess Drinky was Andrew letting out the way he really felt, while he tried to be a bit more diplomatic with JackFrost, but even with the latter account, he sometimes just couldn't hold back his hatred for the Big N.

"In-jokes" are the new, uh... jokes that people actually understand. I've never been a fan of these types of threads, which is why Hipinion pisses me off so much.

Master, we're in a tight spot.
Tight and outta sight.
It seems the GAF Collective has discovered our secret.
This is worse than Christie Elaine's tittes.
How will we save Master's reputation now?
Blame Vestal? But he likes Shadow of the Colossus and Kingdom Hearts.
Oh, Master. It's too foolish; the Collective would never believe you.
Poor, foolish Master.
In the name of the Fool...

My biggest dissapointment stemming from this thread is that neither of my GAF accounts made the wiki. Oh well.

There aren't many names up so far, I didn't see one for MAF, which surprised me. I knew that I wouldn't have one, but I figured MAF would.

BTW, anyone that's pinged me for an account -- expect a response either late tonite (post midnight PST) or tomorrow morning.

Maybe it's actually the opposite and it's DrinkyCrow who does Jackfrost and needed to pick an account.

Either way, something's messed up, cause I played DOA4 with MAF and DrinkyCrow. So who the hell was that I was playing since it couldn't have been this Andrew Vestal guy?

This really doesnt' seem too far fetched to me. I'm sure it wasn't 100% vestal all the time but at the very least drinky crow was a shared trolling account.

The big question for me is wether castellan/doug in IRC is also sometimes andrew vestal. It seems the answer is no but it's the anonymous internet were talking.

So, seeing as the location of the GAF wiki was pretty well given away awhile ago, is it ok to link to yet?
Click to expand...

Personally, I don't see why not. There's no logo. No real front page. No way for people to register without contacting me. A whole lotta nothing.

Linking to it will open the floodgate for registration requests, and I'm cool with that.

Am I the only one that came in and read to the third page before going "Who the fuck is Andrew Vestal"? And then skipped to the end to hope it was answered on the last page?

Can anyone do a plot summary?

GAFWiki is ready for public, I just need a logo and a conversation with the mods. It's been in "testing" the past month with a dozen or so users. Niggling problems with Wiki aside, it's ready for showtime once I get a logo and the thumbs up from the mucky muck.

NOTE: I link to an image from GAFWiki earlier in this thread. Do some detective work.

I made you a logo a month ago, but you said you were taking a shit.

Andrew Vestal, longtime big nerd man on the Internets, at least for the wacky jappy crowd. Unofficial Squaresoft Homepage -> Square.net -> RPGamer -> The GIA, and various freelance work throughout and since. http://yukihime.com

Now seems to have also been most of Drinky Crow for the last 3-4 years. It's like the respected upperclassman turns out to be the dick sticking "Kick me" signs on freshmen?

Revelations? If that's whatcha wanna call em.

I just feel sorry for the hardcore nintard haters. They looked up to DC as a model of nboy hatred.

So who is gonna exact revenge the next time an n-booger "hacks the server" and starts deleting accounts? Jacky-Crow? I don't think so.

Next thing ya know ol Jacky will claim he's the Dreaded Pirate Roberts. Most likely he'll kill us in the morning.

So... Drinky Crow has always been Vestal?

The Wrathful God of Moses was Doug and the account name changed after it was handed to Vestal?

A milquetoast, passive-aggressive Gaffot with a pro-Sony reflex rivaling that of Marty Chinn. When not offering his oily support for the latest industry non-sequiturs jawed by the eccentric and possibly Viagra-dependent Sony mouthpiece Ken Kutaragi, SolidSnakeX is compulsively obsessing over software published by Suikoden IV and Cy-Girls developer Konami.

GAF Fun Fact: SolidSnakeX is actually a giant perambulatory vagina filled with teeth.

that's good stuff.

JackFrost2012 is the GAF alter ego of Neil Peart, the technically proficient but completely soulless drummer for the Canuckian band RUSH. His posts are characterized by his tedious love of all things Objectivist, the novel Anthem (by the unfortunately prolix and man-jawed author Ayn Rand) in particular. He is directly responsible for the GAF meme of "wacky jappy," the torch for which has been carried by far less talented proselytes such as sp0rsk, belgurdo, and that fat fag Chris "Kobun Heat" Kohler.

that's pretty funny too.

So, obviously Drinky is cranked up to be the ultimate anti-fanboy, but... does Vestal really hate Nintendo? Or was it just a clever way to piss off a very large online segment of people?

I mean wasn't he always King Squaresoft? If Nintendo fans were pathetic.... FF fans are pathetic too. :)

A grown man pretending to be a bunch of different characters on the internet, surely it places them on a level of pathetic that supersedes anything a foaming at the mouth Nintendo fan could ever dream to achieve.

Although the whole thing's full of holes, the biggest one that occurred to me is the concept of Vestal "being" Drinky going against past actions. If you all remember (and it'd be hard not to), Vestal pulled a shit fit because Dormer outed his trolling of Squaresoft.

Now, if he revealed himself as Drinky Crow...who is a far more incendiary character against far more companies...

...well, haha, it gets a bit more interesting.

Then you've got a videogame journalist who's publicly shitting over companies through two accounts, publicising the fact, and then worrying that they'll hear any of it.

This presents three situations:

1. metahoax
2. metahoax
3. metahoax

My assumption is that the JackFrost account is retired due to recognition, and a smaller account has been adopted in lieu. Synthesizer Patel strikes me as a good candidate.

Vestal has always been King Squaresoft of course, but think about how long Drinky's been hating on Nintendo....... and consider Square and Nintendo's relations. That should answer a few questions for those wondering why Drinky exists as he is, and why he needs to continue this way for awhile.

For those who don't know Jack (lol lame pun sorry), don't even bother. Just accept that one person has managed to fool an entire internet forum of this size for years. :D
