Hello everyone!
I want to tell you about a certain person. He is quite well-known in certain circles as a "heroic" figure.
The correctness of his actions raises absolutely no doubt and is beyond any criticism.
After all, he can be trusted without hesitation. Because even the most obscure action, he interprets as the only correct one. And how can you doubt him when such key words as "just believe me" and "because I said so" serve as ironclad arguments?
His gaming stance is consistent and absolute. His word is a tool with which he tames even the most rebellious (or, if you will, naive) person, always expressing himself accurately, eloquently, and to the point.
In this, he is often assisted by copypast, which elegantly completes the meaning of his message. And, undoubtedly, the useful Articles that fill the entire page with a gray background are so captivating that everything else seems utterly uninteresting and boring. Being quite observant, he does not ignore the opinions of other players that contain some disagreement with him. And then, slightly missing the keys, our "hero" directs a stream of butthurt to wash away the layer of hostility from the misguided. A noble deed. Arguing with him is quite entertaining, because he does not respond to your objections, he does not listen to you; instead, he begins a long tirade, which seems to have some connection to what you wrote, but which is actually just a continuation of his own speech. He is quite sharp: he spreads Articles about identifying fools, while at the same time easily fits at least three of the listed criteria. And this amuses (and sometimes even makes) the forum users laugh. But these are all minor things.
A true connoisseur of literature, he places excerpts from the works of a great modern Russian poetess in his signatures, who more than anything else in the world desired the destruction of all earthly order and her own demise. The latter she successfully achieved, although the former did not work out. Poor thing..

Lider1, if his posts have the following characteristics:
articles about identifying fools
and
he includes excerpts from the works of a great modern Russian poet in his signatures
, then it is likely that we are talking about someone who has a quote from a poem by Alina Vitukhnovskaya in their signature, which can be found here.
Personally, I have not had the opportunity to communicate with him; but I hope he is not so "bad" as to cause anyone to feel hatred. Let's avoid that: hatred harms everyone, and no one benefits from it.

Yudhishthira Maharaja said: "O Janardana, O protector of all beings, what is the name of the ekadashi of the dark half of the month of Kartika (October-November). Please reveal this secret knowledge to me."

The Supreme Lord, Shri Krishna, replied: "O lion among kings, listen: the ekadashi of the dark half of the month of Kartika is called Rama ekadashi. It is most auspicious, as it instantly destroys the greatest sins and allows entry into the spiritual abode. I will tell you its history and glory."

Once upon a time, there lived a famous king named Muchukunda, who was a friend of Lord Indra, the king of heaven; as well as of Yamaraja, Varuna, and Vibhishana, the pious brother of the demon Ravana. Muchukunda always spoke the truth and constantly offered devotional service to Shiva. Because he ruled according to religious principles, there was no unrest in his kingdom.

Muchukunda named his daughter Chandrabhaga, after the sacred river, and gave her in marriage to Shobhana, the son of Chandrasena. One day, Shobhana visited his father-in-law's palace on the auspicious day of ekadashi. This visit worried Shobhana's wife, Chandrabhaga, as she knew her husband was physically weak and unable to undergo the austerity for an entire day. She said to him: "My father is very strict about observing ekadashi. On dashami, the day before ekadashi, he beats a large drum and proclaims: 'No one shall eat on ekadashi, the day of Lord Hari!'"

When Shobhana heard the sound of the drum, he said to his wife: "O beautiful one, what shall I do now? Please tell me how I can both save my life and fulfill your father's command!"

Chandrabhaga replied: "My dear husband, in my father's house, no one — not even the elephants and horses, let alone humans — eats on the day of ekadashi. Even the animals do not eat grains, leaves, straw, nor even drink water on ekadashi, the day of Lord Hari. So how will you avoid the fast? My beloved, if you eat anything at all, you will have to leave this place. Now decide firmly what you must do."

Prince Shobhana replied: "I have decided to fast on the sacred day of ekadashi. Whatever my fate may be, I will accept it."

Having decided thus, Shobhana tried to fast on ekadashi, but he suffered unbearably from acute hunger and thirst. Finally, the sun set in the west, and the sacred night blessed all Vaishnavas. O Yudhishthira, all the devotees rejoiced, glorifying Lord Hari and staying awake the whole night, but for Prince Shobhana that night became unbearable. Therefore, when the sun rose on dvadashi, Shobhana was dead.

King Muchukunda participated in his son-in-law's funeral, placing a huge pile of wood on the pyre, but ordered his daughter Chandrabhaga not to go to the funeral pyre with her husband. Thus Chandrabhaga, after performing all the purificatory rites in honor of her husband, continued to live in her father's house."

Lord Krishna continued: "O best of kings, although Shobhana died while observing ekadashi, the blessing he gained allowed him, after death, to become the ruler of a kingdom located atop Mount Mandarachala. This kingdom was like the city of the demigods: dazzlingly brilliant, with countless jewels in the walls of its houses. The pillars were made of rubies, and gold and diamonds sparkled everywhere. King Shobhana sat on a throne under a pure white canopy, and servants fanned him with yak-tail fans. A magnificent crown rested on his head, beautiful earrings adorned his ears, a necklace adorned his neck, and jewel-encrusted bracelets wrapped his arms. Gandharvas (the best celestial singers) and apsaras (celestial dancers) served him. Truly, he became a second Indra.

Once, a brahmana named Somasharma, who lived in Muchukunda's kingdom, while traveling to various pilgrimage sites, arrived in Shobhana's kingdom. The brahmana saw Shobhana in all his brilliant glory and thought he might be the son-in-law of his king, Muchukunda. When Shobhana saw the brahmana, he immediately rose from his throne and greeted him. Bowing respectfully, he asked the brahmana about the well-being and health of his (Shobhana's) father-in-law, his wife, and all the city's inhabitants.

Somasharma replied: "O king, all is well in your father-in-law's kingdom; Chandrabhaga and the other family members are also well. But, O king, I am surprised to see you here! Please, tell me about yourself. No one has ever seen such a beautiful city as this! Please be kind and tell me how you obtained it."

King Shobhana said: "Because I observed Rama ekadashi, I was granted rule over this magnificent city. But for all its grandeur, this city is only temporary. I ask you to remedy this flaw. This city is ephemeral. How can I preserve its beauty and glory permanently? Please, enlighten me."

The brahmana asked: "Why is this kingdom unstable, and how can it be made permanent? Please explain this to me, and I will try to help you." Shobhana replied: "Because I fasted on ekadashi without proper faith, my kingdom is temporary. Now listen to how it can become eternal. Please return to Chandrabhaga, the beautiful daughter of King Muchukunda, and tell her everything you have seen and understood about this place and about me. Undoubtedly, if you tell her this, my city will soon become eternal."

The brahmana returned to the city and told everything to Chandrabhaga, who was both surprised and delighted to hear such news. She said: "O brahmana, was this real, or was it a dream?"

Somasharma replied: "O princess, I have without a doubt seen your husband face to face in that magnificent kingdom, which is like the kingdom of a demigod. But he said that his entire kingdom is impermanent and could dissolve at any moment. Therefore, he hopes that you will find a way to make it eternal."

Chandrabhaga said: "O sage among brahmanas, please take me to my husband immediately, for I yearn to see him again! I can make his kingdom eternal, for I have the blessing obtained by fasting on all the ekadashis of my life. Please reunite us as soon as possible. It is said that one who unites people who are separated attains great merit."

The brahmana Somasharma then led Chandrabhaga to the radiant kingdom of Shobhana. Before entering it, they stopped at the foot of Mount Mandarachala in the sacred ashrama of Vamadeva. Vamadeva chanted hymns from the Vedas and sprinkled Chandrabhaga with holy water, having heard her story. Under the influence of these sacred rites, the merit she had gained from fasting on so many ekadashis made her body transcendental. In ecstasy, with eyes shining with wonder, Chandrabhaga continued on her way.

When Shobhana saw his wife approaching him atop Mount Mandarachala, he was filled with joy and cried out in happiness. When she drew near, he seated her to his left, and she said to him: "O dearest, please listen, I will tell you something that will greatly help you. From the age of eight, I have regularly and faithfully observed the fast on every ekadashi. If I transfer to you all the blessings I have obtained, your kingdom will soon become eternal, and its prosperity will increase and increase until there is great abundance!"

Lord Krishna continued: "O Yudhishthira, thus Chandrabhaga, possessing a wonderful transcendental body adorned with the most beautiful ornaments, finally enjoyed peace and happiness with her husband. By the power of Rama ekadashi, Shobhana obtained a kingdom atop Mount Mandarachala, capable of fulfilling all his desires and bestowing eternal happiness, like the wish-fulfilling cow Kamadhenu.

O greatest of kings, I have narrated to you the glory of Rama ekadashi. Everyone who follows the sacred ekadashi in both the bright and dark halves of every month is undoubtedly freed from sinful reactions, even such as killing a brahmana. One should not make a distinction between the ekadashis of the bright and dark halves of the month. As we have seen, both can bestow enjoyments in this world and liberate even the most sinful and fallen souls. Just as black and white cows give equal amounts of milk, so the dark and bright ekadashis bestow equal merit and, ultimately, liberation from the cycle of birth and death. Everyone who simply hears the glorification of this sacred day, Rama ekadashi, is freed from all sins and will attain the supreme abode of Lord Vishnu."

Thus ends the narration of the glory of Kartika-krishna ekadashi, or Rama ekadashi, from the Brahma-vaivarta Purana.

Yudhishthira Maharaja said
“O Janardana, O protector of all beings, what is the name of the Ekadashi that falls on the dark fortnight of the month of Kartik?”

Soon, the dark fortnight of the month of Kartik will end, and the bright fortnight of the month of December will begin, and it will become easier.

In the last post by ariputra, I didn't understand almost anything except for the prepositions. :) But Nagan-4 is definitely right. :)

I might be slow in Heroes, but it's not for you, Anders' padawan, to tell me that. Secondly, you're really a clown with your reasoning about worthlessness. How can a man who constantly loses, even if it's just in a small game like Heroes 3, talk about worthlessness? Aren't you ashamed of that?

Great topic for trolling! :D Moved it here.

IMHO, it's better to constantly "lose" playing against strong players than to constantly "rule" playing against obviously weak players and avoiding games with strong players. That's what I personally consider WORTHLESS.

I won't point fingers; we all know who I'm talking about in Heroes. And what's so bad about losing a lot of games? Is it humiliating?

Or is a man not allowed to lose, by definition? Or to lose a lot of games in Heroes? :D :D :D

If he loses a lot in Heroes, does that mean he's a worthless person? Is that what you're saying? Or is he not a man at all?

Sorry, but you have the "Gospel of the Leader" here. The context is completely different. To be honest, I won't comment on this, as my attention span for this person has run out.

I apologize. The Gospel according to the Leader cannot compare to the gospel according to Oelm.

And what is it?

It's not about the attention span for this particular person, or the attention span for anyone in general. You said something completely absurd. I quote:

How can a man who constantly loses, even in something as small as Heroes 3, talk about insignificance? Aren't you ashamed of that?
