Drama, A Scientific Look

[Gman]

Well, I wanted to do a parody of all the scientific shows on ecology and nature, except it's about Dramaz.

NOTE: This has very little to do with the Dramaz concerning zfan. It is in no way meant as an attack on him.

If you have your own variations of this, or want to comment on mine, feel free to post.

Well, here goes:

STAGE ONE: The community is thriving, all are happy, when a Drama Llama suddenly appears. This person makes a controversial, or just plain stupid thread. Members of the community react swiftly and harshly, criticizing the llama or voicing their opinion on the matter, which most likely differs from the llama's At this point the group is unorganized, and merely disagreeing with the llama. The llama will immediately go on the defensive, calling everyone mean or stupid. This will do nothing but aggravate the group further. Snide comments about the llama's intelligence will be made, which the llama regards as outright flamming and may report to a mod. The mod may give a warning to the members, or just ignore the llama, but usually very little action is taken. During the later part of this stage, a small group of members who find each other's attacks on the llama especially funny will start to group together. The is known as a Proto Core. More on this...now.

STAGE TWO: A Proto Core is the beginning of a Core: a group of friends who are united in their hate for Drama Llamas. The Proto Core begins more coordinated attacks on the llama, supporting and defending each other from rebuttals and insults. During this stage the llama becomes more and more flustered at the fact that everyone hates them. He will go to n00bs for support, usually by brainwashing them. These brainwashed n00bs begin a very sloppy assault on anything that seems to be a threat to the llama. They are either destroyed or de-brainwashed and put against the llama. With his defenses weakening, the llama begins to degrade into pure stupidity, or pretends that the drama is over. During this time, the Proto Core will usually gain enough members to become a Core, meaning that the drama proceeds to Stage Three.

STAGE THREE: At this point the llama goes into denial about the drama that took place and tries to bargain with the members, but to no avail. The members will make more snide comments about the llama, usually resulting in the llama whining about how mean the forum members are. General disdain begins to generate and the Core grows.

STAGE FOUR: The llama, realizing that no one likes him, begins to panic, fearing an all out flame war against him. The Core is now very large, and teetering on the brink of a flame explosion. The llama, in an attempt to stay alive, will act like a regular forum member, but alas, without his drama juice the llama begins to starve. Eventually he must make another stupid thread, resulting in a massive backlash.

STAGE FIVE: The Core explodes, launching massive flames toward the llama. The llama may try to fight back, but it is hopeless. The llama, will either die, never to return, or a mod will intervene and stop the drama, meaning that the llama will have to go somewhere else to get his juice. Eventually peace is restored to the forum, and the Core disbands, although it should be noted that in the event of another llama attack, the former Core members will quickly reform. After a drama attack, many members will immediately crush even the slightest hint of drama.

Eventually the drama attack is forgotten and the wounds of the forum heal.

Remember, it's entirely a joke, so don't over criticize.

Can you PM me who you are making fun of? as we don't support open harrasment. but, I am curious.

What if the llama drama realizes his lesson and learns to not do attacks? That is why the llama may try to look like a general member.
He may be new to the internet and has over emotional problems and didn't think before he acted. maybe his parents were to stupid to figure it out to give said Lama counsilng when he was a hatchling or he could be a kid just wanting trouble because of a S--- life and thinking he knows how to handle it and be 'cool' and then finally he snaps out of his routine?

We don't know what the Drama llama does offline it could be a totally different world. or the 'llama' could still not understand his/her mistakes and does illegal stuff at home and goes on to other forums harrasing and hackiing into websites.

quote from Jesus in the King James version of the Bible: "Judge not, that ye be not judged.
[2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again." Is all I feel about this kind of issue.

Do not steal his quote or the master sword may be uses if he has to, In order to banish evil.

I'm pretty sure it is just general fun making, as intraweb fights make you "cool"

Llamas rarely learn their lesson, and when they do, they die of Dramaz Starvation.

It rapes babehs.

You're taking this a little too seriously. It's just a joke.

And no it's not targeting anyone.

[Verrick]

An excellent thesis. An amazing analysis of drama llamas and their behavior.

Stage 3 is always the most fun of the five and typically lasts the longest.

[Evaline]

As joking as you're attempting to be, it's completely true. >_> For every "llama" that has been here, that has happened.

[Gman]

Thanks, Rhalen. I studied at four interwebz echolology schools in order to come up with this thiesis.

[4th Triforce]

So it can reallllllllly be that bad with the drama Llama's? Geez. (shakes head at disgust) Society is going down hill. Here comes WW3! I guess I better hide my 4th Triforce piece away from the Robbers with guns when the World War starts. (Attempts to build underground Bomb Shelter with shovel and arms self with a rifle to ward off Triforce thieves)

Wow, my post gets deleted which proves Stage Two and Stage Five.

A community of what? idiots? Most of the time when a drama-maker appears everyone ignores the idiot in question, or pokes a bit of fun at him and he eventually learns is lesson. This mostly happens in mature communities. BUT, in some communities, the immatuire members do what you just said to seem "cool." That, or the drama-maker is so bad everyone gets pissed off and irritated and hostile towards everybody which breeds more drama until the mods ban him and things settle down.



The moar you know.

Hey, that was pretty entertaining to read, and all the more fun because of just how true it is. One thing though, there's two distinct breeds of drama llama on the webs that I've noticed, the intentional drama llama (also commonly known as a troll and feeds in a similar way... a troll in a drama llama's skin if you will), and the true drama llama (the rarer form when a drama llama really does create controversy because they believe it to be true, and aren't intentionally trolling)

It's difficult to tell the difference between an intentional drama llama and a true drama llama, however. Time and careful watching will usually tell you what kind you're dealing with when you go to scratch the surface again. The results usually come up with the trolling breed, and are more easily eradicated by concerned moderators egged on by enraged forumers, but true drama llamas are harder to kill off because they're deemed to naturally be that way, and it's considered unfair to punish them for something they can't help.

I am talking about those really annoying Drama Llams that get everybody to do what I just described.

This thread is hilarious.
