Wow badspot is quite busy this christmas season. Haha, well I think while these bans are going down and everyone is in the mood.
And to commemorate badspot on this auspicious night, I give you "Twas the night before Christmas: BLOCKLAND VERSION"
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through blockland
Not a player was stirring, not even Rand...y;
The topics were flying through the forums without care,
In hopes that cookies and emote spams soon would be there;
The "noobs" were nestled all snug in their bed,
While visions of 4chan danced in their heads;
And ephialtes in his 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long blockland nap,
When out on the block party there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the server to see what was the matter.
Away to badspots server, I flew like a flash,
Tore open some popcorn and my teeth did nash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen update
Gave the lustre of lag to players, with fate,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a mass lot of red bricks, oh this I did fear,
With a little old admin, so lively and not,
I knew in a moment it must be Badspot.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he wanded, and shouted, and called them "BASTARDS!";
"Now, Ephi! now, Kompressor! now, Skylord and Beachbum!
On, ToT! on Dante! on, Trigun and MrCookie!
To the top of the serverlog! to the top of the banlist!
Now ban away! ban away! ban away all!"
So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,
With the server full of bans, and Badspot too.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the IRC
The prancing and pawing of each little Noobsie.
As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,
Entering my house, Badspot came with a bound.
He was dressed all in poloshirts , from his head to his hips,
And his clothes were all tarnished with handlotion and chips;
A bundle of logs he had hidden in his mind,
And he looked like a IRS agent just trying to be kind.
His eyes -- how they were wide! his lips how chapped!
His cheeks were like cauliflower, his nose looked nipped!
His troll little banstick was dangling like a bow,
And the skin of his face was as white as the snow;
The stump of a blunt he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;
He had a skinny face and a little amounts belly,
That Didnot shake, when he laughed like a frozen bowlful of jelly.
He was short and thin, a right jolly old scripter,
And I was silent when I saw him, in spite of laughter;
A glare of his eye and a twist of his neck,
Soon gave me to know I had everything to dread;
He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And banned all the people; then turned "bazerk",
And laying his finger aside of his banstick,
And giving a nod, kicked off the server he left me;
He sprang to his office, to his team gave a sigh,
And away they all ate the leftover pie.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he walked to his van,
"Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good ban."
