Perhaps I am insane, but there is a method to my madness. This section will explain that method. While online with PSO I have a choice of either directly attacking you with insults or indirectly through symbol chats or shortcuts. My favorite thing to do of course is the latter and these are my three basic ways of attack. I have been perfecting this art since day one on PSO. Each works quite well. I must warn you however that when using these, you are at high risk from players who pk, ck, fsod or NOL. As I find those players in particular to be easily offended.
To me, I find it flattering when a player goes out of thier way to PK (player kill) me for my insults..It is the biggest compliment and victory any player can give me. It means that I have effected your life so much ,that you feel the need to take mine.. If my words have created a void THAT big in your ego, then I must be really good!! :)

Attack #1 is what I call the personal dirtect attack. The PDA is usually an opening move that attacks a player's name or [hysical appearance . Most people on PSO put alot of thought into their player name. It is usually archetypically symbolic. In other words thier character plays a certain role in the game, ei hero, mother, healer. It is an uconsious manifestation of some role that has not been fullfilled in real life. Read some Jungian psychology dammit! Needless to say, I have found that if you attack a player's name it is like farting in church: everyone will hear it and someone will be offended.

Attack #2 Is when I use multiple insults at once. I call this ABC: Attack By Combination. Just like in western boxing, the prncipal of ABC 's prime directive is to overwhelm your opponent's defenses. Heres a simple example aimed at a symbol chat pervert. " If you are having trouble getting laid, I suggest that you place an add in Yahoo Personals. With your buckteeth and low IQ, Im sure you will find fullfillment with a suitable mate."
This ABC example attacks 3 aspects of a player. It attacks his sexuality, his physical appearance ,and his intelligence in a few well placed lines.

Attack #3 Id like to call ABF or Attack By Feint. In boxing, a feint is used to create an opening by means of faking your opponent out. For example, you make him think you are going to Jab but end up contacting with a left hook. ABF is my greatest creation and has drawn a few crowds. It is pure evill because of its nature and they NEVER see it coming!! Basically I Start off as a friend than stab them in the back .
Example:
attacker approaches player SSJN Gohan. "Dragon Ball z huh?"
gohan: " yeah its my favorite show, man!"
attacker: " its a good show. So how are you today Gohan?"
gohan : " great! I love PSO! how are you doin?"
attacker : " LOL.. fine, fine. Where you from?"
gohan: " Southern Alabama!"
attacker " Wow! I have always wanted to go there. Are all the people there as freindly as you?"
gohan " LOL...southern hospitality I guess. so where you from, man?"
attacker" Cali..... Sure is hot today tho"
gohan " lol.I hear ya man hot here too. Like burning up . Im sweatin playin PSO!"
attacker "thats funny. LOL!!"
gohan: " lol.. so what part of Cali you from dude?"
attacker " Shut up redneck!"
short silence
Gohan laughs thinking attacker must be kidding around " LOL .No really, what part dude?"
attacker "no really, shut up. I dont talk to white trash rednecks"
longer pause
gohan "??????"
attacker " Whats wrong gohan? Did you ride the smalll bus to school as well?"
gohan "?????"
attacker " ..I see. well that makes you retarded AND illiterate.."
gohan "wtf??"
attacker " wtf?.... You learn that in special ed today redneck?"
gohan " fukk you!"
attacker " ooh good spelling. Is that why you are 35 and still in the 5th grade?"
gohan :" WTF???I dont have to take this! Fukk you!!" he then leaves the lobby.
The example clearly illustrates the ABF. You fient in with kindness , then strike where they least expect it. Note that I also used the information I recieved from him to attack him with.
That concludes my essay on the 3 ways of attack. The next chapter deals with the types of players who you will be attacking and the phsycology behind thier responses.
