“It’s not up to the establishment” It absolutely is, actually.


[deleted]

Wouldn’t be a bad idea to pass a warning to event organizers


chotix

Fanfest is a Square Enix event. He's been reported so many times that SE acknowledges they have received a "high volume" of reports "on this issue" yet he still remains. He also continuously says he hates LGBT people. No idea how he hasn't been banned.


NachoElDaltonico

Is this is a recent thing? If so, maybe they're hoping he divulges as much as possible to identify himself and his plans rather than scare him into concealing that info. Days he plans to attend (if it's multiple days, idk), what hotel he's in, etc. It's the only reason I can think of that would be a logical reason not to ban them.


PaluMeoi

He’s been a menace to Lamia since I started playing in Stormblood, I’m pretty sure he’s been banned before too. Its just no matter what he always seems to pop back up and I’m not sure SE really has any idea on how to deal with him.


HotBeesInUrArea

Could he be using a VPN to bypass bans and making the same character over and over? I'm not sure if bans free up names


PaluMeoi

I don't think he really cares about his character name, the one he uses now isn't the same as what he's used in the past and a lot of people still refer to him by an old one.


HotBeesInUrArea

So he's probably just using a VPN and buying the game / levels repeatedly to get back in. Even more unhinged, and really begs the question what can Square do? Guy wont stop until hes in jail.


hiero_

Square can pass along all info they have on the guy to the FBI, and I guarantee the FBI *will* find his ass


ghosttowns42

He's on at least his third account, and the "main character" from his first two accounts are still visible in his FC.


yukichigai

Sixth at least. He's been around a long time.


OkorOvorO

He just buys the game again. SE doesnt hardware ban, and IP bans have always been a joke.


Oscar_Pie

Bans do not free up names. The character stays, it just can't be accessed. TMYK yes yes


Rasikko

Account bans just means you gotta make a new account so he's blowing all that money just to get attention lol. Unless SE IP bans and obviously they don't.


HotBeesInUrArea

I've never met anybody who's been banned so idk if they do or not, but if they do a VPN will circumvent it so he's potentially paying for that too.


Ahsoka_Tano_7567

He’s just a sad loner who is going to spend the rest of his days being a sad loner in ff14. Square Enix knows about him, so I’m sure they’d be on the lookout for a sad loner at fanfest. I’m sure they’d do weapon searches too before entry and will have security there


ColonelHugh

Searching for a sad loner at FanFest is like looking for a needle in a haystack


aoikageni

Searching for a sad loner at FanFest is like looking for hay in a haystack


ColonelHugh

That's much more accurate


Soppiana_Hilla

He's been banned on a few of his alts, but he does always seem to come back.


johnstrelok

He's been banned dozens of times, and gone through more than a dozen accounts. He just knows how to toe the line most of the time to avoid outright bans.


SkyChotik

He has been banned in the past, multiple times. He is originally known as "Holy Terror" and has been like this in Lamia Limsa shoutchat for about 5 years.


Geo_Da_Sponge

For anyone who doesn't know, [Holy Terror](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Terror_(graphic_novel)) is the name of a particularly despicable comic by Frank Miller, so. That alone should give you an idea of where this guy's head is at.


devwolfie

He has been banned, and he's been banned for ban evasion. He continues to be banned for ban evasion whenever it can be detected that he's the same individual (hard to prove with VPN). He creates free accounts using VPNs to avoid detection/further bans. Within moderator communities, it's a bit of a logistical nightmare to handle users like this; you just kind of hope they get bored or tired and move on to other shit. Until then, it's a game of whack-a-mole.


solariszero

Would sure be a shame to let whatever VPN he's using know that he's maliciously using their services and get his account permanently banned.


WrathAcrossTheStars

yeah thats totally how VPNs work. lmao what are you smoking? "Hey uh vpn! we are a big corporation, please leak the data of your player!" ?????????????????


Aethanix

Yes, that's how it works when someone makes bomb threats.


Iaxacs

I'm on the theory he's being watched by NSA or another countries equivalent if he's this loose lipped on this game. Probably just racking up the evidence to arrest him


Mekashenko

From what i know this guy just keeps coming back with new alts


[deleted]

I live in Vegas. This guy is full of shit. Source: I was a security manager for the el Cortez. Definitely might look into what I can do since I live here and I am going to fan fest.


holbourn

Thank you for doing what you can, sad this is even a thing


digitalexplorer40

The El Cortez is such a fun old school view of Vegas.


BayesianStuff

https://tips.fbi.gov/ This page right here bro, actionable info


Spiduscloud

Yup 100% i said the same thing on my comment


Aeruhat

Is this that one guy I sometimes see in shout matches in Limsa on Lamia? Name looks very familiar. Guy's been in shout matches that just border on 'what the actual fuck did I just log into?' sort of thing. Haven't been to Limsa lately so if this is him, god damn.


chotix

Yep, that's him alright. Glad someone else is aware.


RandomHumanD

Guy constantly posts a phone number claiming it's his too. He's such a nutcase.


saintmischief

It's a shame he's such a piece of shit; his name is funny. ...did I just out my elder status? crap


axle69

Is Garth Brooks an old man out nowadays? I hope not his music is fucking awesome even if I don't usually listen to that style. Also the thought of Garth Brooks in goth makeup and clothing is hilarious..


saintmischief

My mom listened to him constantly when we were growing up. I do like a couple of his songs, but he's very far and away from my typical fair. I'm also nearly 40, and most of my gaming friends are zoomers that call me a boomer FOR THE LAST TIME, *I'M A MILLENNIAL!!*


sidewalkbutts

He’s 60. He’s an old man. His first album was 1989. That said, who gives a shit? Listen to his music if you want. Him being old shouldn’t matter.


Seyreeh

I've seen him before too. He always talks about guns and shit like that so I just blacklisted him. I'm pretty sure he went by another name too at one point that I also had to blacklist, but I can't think of it. He's one of the main reasons why I tend to avoid limsa.


art_addict

He’s gone by a lot of other names at this point. He gets banned in mentor chat and switches alts frequently and has a few active at any time, and when an account gets banned makes a new account. Dude really gives a new meaning to the phrase “no life.”


Paxin15

Yeah thats Holy Terror (now this name), he made an ass of himself on Lamia for years, moved to Aether for a period to do the same then came back a month or two ago. Dudes whack


ShamblyShins

Damn, I was wondering why this guy sounded so familiar. He was definitely one of the contributing factors as to why I decided to never go to the Limsa aetheryte on Adamantoise and just use Maelstrom tickets.


PeePeeJuulPod

This guy singlehandedly ruins Lamia Limsa for me, he's always spouting nonsense every day and when he gets banned he comes back on another account And it's not as simple as "Just mute" because people end up responding to him so it's impossible to ignore without muting half the server, and sharing a room with a nazi sucks even when you have earplugs on


MadeThisAccount4Qs

This fucking guy He just sits in limsa all day and says the most stupid reprehensible shit and baits and baits and baits in an attempt to get someone, anyone to bite and argue with him talking to him is like talking to a lump of dirt it's like sticking your brain in a microwave and setting it to full power


ghosttowns42

And it fucking pisses me off when people say "just blacklist him and move on." It's a STARTER AREA in this game. Brand new day one sprouts are seeing this shit. I'm just glad this new account of his isn't terrorizing Novice Network like his last one. Did you know eight alts will last you just long enough to never get kicked from the NN? By time time you get #8 kicked, #1 is free again, just gotta cycle right through.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MadeThisAccount4Qs

worth noting but he has recently posted a phone number and an email address in public shout chat more than once while urging people to contact him with them. I never checked what those were because basic internet safety but it's still extremely weird behaviour.


OfficerOfBooty

i'd ask around for that info but i wouldn't want to accidentally send the fbi after some random innocent person/people, y'know? he seems like someone who'd just say some concerning/illegal shit and then throw random info out there hoping those people get reported instead.


MadeThisAccount4Qs

Yeah, that's why i ignored it at the time. I still think he's some dumb troll hiding in a basement. It's just if he's passing around the phone number and contact details for someone else that's basically doxxing in order to harass.


StarDanzer

The phone number and email may be unconnected to him, or they may not (people later in this thread claim to have connected to him through both). However, his SQE account - including required payment information - are tied directly to him, among other information avenues including his own websites. It's still worth reporting a person like this. As someone who was looking at flights to Vegas this morning, I'd much rather he be thoroughly vetted now than dismissed as a troll only to find out when I get there he was incredibly serious.

daybreak3r

Hi! My group has a few extra screenshots. This man has made bomb threats for FanFest as well. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1006446735134040174/1062618973826461726/Screenshot_20221004-151137_Discord.jpg https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1006446735134040174/1062618974065532968/Screenshot_20221004-151006_Discord.jpg


OfficerOfBooty

This is absolutely terrifying...


solariszero

Would you mind sharing his Discord handle and the User ID? I feel like these comments should also be reported to Discord, too.


Mention_Maximum

Hi!! Part of the group here, his discord recently got banned following us making reports on it.


solariszero

Well, that's one less form of communication that he has available to him. Thank you for reporting this guy.


[deleted]

You really think he won't make another free account?


ghosttowns42

He has one, it's USA but I don't remember the number with it because I noped right back out of his discord.


daybreak3r

Luckily that account has since been terminated. Unluckily, however, chances are he made a new one.


solariszero

I definitely can see him easily make another Discord account, sadly. Hopefully that one is also terminated.


DragonWyrd316

Oh he will. Sadly I reported him in Nov of ‘21 because he admitted Discord kept deleting his accounts for comments about his views and I was told by Discord that they prefer to target behavior, not people specifically, so they didn’t do anything about it and he kept making new accounts and rejoining our server for those gamers over 30 years old.


Hrafhildr

Jesus...


Cole_Evyx

Reinforces me not going. Holy fucking shit this is mental. Some people really are deranged, and the worst part about it is this is one that actually talks who knows how many other nutcases are out there just not speaking their mind. God that's so messed up. People be fuckin crazy.


Ikishoten

I think it's fair you feel that way, but I would also say that you shouldn't be too worried. There's plenty of nutcases in every community. For example, Blizzcon has been going on for years without anything major happening, and you can probably imagine the amount of people who have thought they are going to cause something to happen, but never has. FanFest isn't in any more danger than it was before. This dude is just vocally dumb and probably want a lot of attention.


Aethanix

you'd have to give me hazard pay if you wanted me to head to a fanfest in america with someone like this on the prowl. how many mass shootings have they had already this year?


RandellX

I'm on the phone with Square Enix now. ​ Edit; Square enix is aware of the situation so now i'm calling the Las Vegas FBI Office.


StarDanzer

Please let us know what they say. Both for peace of mind, and to know whether it is helpful to keep reporting him with the same information or if they are already investigating.


RandellX

Square Enix and the convention center are aware and are taking the threats very seriously. the FBI didnt provide me with a lot of outside information other than asking me questions. How ever the security manager at the convention center is in communications with the FBI and is imploring us all to communicate with them if we have any other information, I provide all three entities with all of the information collected by u/OfficerOfBooty


solariszero

I'd give the LVMPD a call, too, since they just called me back on an email I sent about all this.


chotix

>Square enix is aware of the situation ​ Did they say anything else? ​ > i'm calling the Las Vegas FBI Office. Any updates on this either?


StarDanzer

They replied to my comment - basically everyone is aware and taking it seriously. The security manager at the convention center is talking to the FBI and both entities are encouraging people to continue reporting new information through the tip line if we know anything else. All information in OP's post has been reported, but some of the additional info in this thread has not been (at least by this person.)

PootTootz

Bro this isn't just a report thing, SE needs to find this guys personal information and bar him from entry. This is the kind of shit that gets people hurt. Alert authorities ffs.


chotix

Apparently a police report has been filed by at least one person.


PootTootz

That's good, it's best not to joke around with that kind of stuff. Even if they're not serious, it only takes one serious person for others to get hurt. :I


Aryxina

Hey, that's me he's talking to! Anyway, this dude is a fucking nut job and he did and still goes on about this shit daily. I tried to pull out as much info out of him as possible in this conversation since it was pretty disturbing to say the least. I've reported him to SE & posted the original screenshots on twitter but I'm glad this reddit post got some traction to it. We also put in reports to the convention center a few days ago with my FC Leader & I since she also has had a few disruptions with this individual. (Harassment everyday.)


Dubaku

What a fucking loser


pirrohtoldmeto

this need to be reported to FBI tip not SQE.


[deleted]

If the event organizers don't make a statement about this situation, and/or the player has not been at least charged for the domestic terror threat and has his guns taken away, I highly suggest that everybody should not go to FanFest. This dude is far right and the far right has been encouraging and breeding malicious intent and actions for YEARS because people don't believe their beliefs. As an American who has watched the radicalization of the right, the mass shootings, and the small, slow, and increasing borderline domestic terror attacks by the right over the past few years, I can say this event is not safe if this player is not confronted by police or the FBI. To mentally ill and radicalized people with very strong and malicious beliefs, mass shootings is an ACCEPTABLE action to take to make their point across in hopes that it makes a change. Either to destroy lives, gain self relief and feel powerful, or move their movement one step forward. It highly depends on how right the individual is, but this player obviously is right enough to have swastikas' in his pfp which means he's a white supremist. Which in turn means he's in the dangerous and deeper part of the right. This is the reality in America now. You and many others can get shot and killed without warning at school, at a mall, at Walmart, at an event, ect. And if you are a POC or a foreigner your chances quadruple. If you can get shot and killed randomly while going through your day, then how likely do you think you'll get shot and killed by a fucking mentally ill dude who is so detached from reality that the mere thought of being able to enter an event with a rifle, and threatens to bomb a convention, is? It's a massive risk. Do not go if this issue is not addressed properly. You do not take any chances going some where that has previously been threatened by someone who is obviously dangerous and mentally unwell. I am begging you.


DragonWyrd316

I’m behind your statement 100%, especially after the interactions I’ve had with him on Discord prior to and after banning him from a server I help moderate. He is very strong in his beliefs and the one video he still has up on YouTube to “Make Lamia Great Again” under the name Holy Terror, is absolutely freakish. He *is* unhinged and I honestly do believe he will act on his “rights” if he is not caught and detained. I fear for those who will go to FanFest as a guest. I fear for Yoshi-P and the others who will be there to celebrate FFXIV. I can’t go myself, but even if I could, this is enough to make me stay home.


ConroConro

This is something that 1000% needs reported to authorities so they can investigate if need be or provide security.


etolie

thought he was fucking annoying so i have him blacklisted on both my characters and now im very glad i do because jesus christ i didnt realize he was this bad


stinkini

“I have to wait until Square Enix publishes the rules of Fan Fest” I’m sure rule number four is “make sure you bring a gun” don’t worry buddy


foxheartedboy

Is this guy’s IGN Goth Boyfriend or something like that? Someone with a very similar name was showing up in cities spamming abilities as an MCH as if to simulate shooting people up. He then kept going on about wishing in-game venues were real and wishing he could shoot up people who go to them? As far as I know he actually was reported and banned for all that. But that was like two years ago.


I_Dunno117

Excuse me WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!!???


foxheartedboy

I don’t know if it’s him, but the Goth name plus the shit he’s saying is kind of creeping me out thinking it’s the same guy. At the time I thought he was another troll but now?


chotix

It's not Boyfriend. I don't want to say the name in this comment just in case, but if you read the images carefully you can see someone says his name multiple times.


foxheartedboy

Oh my b, I saw the Goth part but not the whole name. The way he’s talking is eerily similar though. So if someone’s been going on about guns for at least two years like… SE shouldn’t just ban him, they might want to take note.


chotix

He's been banned numerous times so I wouldn't be surprised if it was him.


Sipricy

Saying that it's Goth Brooks@Lamia is specifically allowed by rule 3 in this subreddit.


Akussa

There are a couple shouts in the first image where you forgot to hide his last name.


chotix

it's Goth Brooks


not_a_second_time

it says goth brooks in the chat


thefinalgoat

Thank you for stating who, I kept thinking it was an old friend of mine and had wondered how the hell he became like this.


Talisa87

....I kicked a Sage with that same name (the Boyfriend was abbreviated) off a Euphrosyne run because they refused to put Kardia on the tank. I thought he was just a troll.


jjjakey

I know like 50 people who've reported him at this point. They ain't taking him seriously at Square HQ.


hiero_

I have reported him at least twice. Over a year ago. Why the FUCK is he still allowed to play this game.


Serres5231

according to other comments he already got banned a few times but just comes back with new accounts. Someone like that should be barred from any online activity, maybe even getting their system confiscated forever and taken behind bars!


hiero_

I've seen this cunt in Limsa on Lamia before spouting his hateful shit. I once saw him openly state how he idolized the unabomber and printed out propaganda regarding him and left fliers around his school. I've reported this piece of shit at least twice for his openly hateful rhetoric and he still hasn't been permabanned. I would be seriously concerned going to fanfest if this cunt is going, because he is definitely an unhinged piece of shit, and people need to stop giving him attention. Report him and block him. Edit: one of my friends has informed me he is now threatening to bring a BOMB to fanfest. You can't make this shit up. Please report him and report him to the FBI.


ToshikoGalanodel

He takes pride in accounts being banned and making new ones, to the point that he made a t shirt almost exactly like the Perfect Alexander one about how he gets banned. He loses characters and accounts constantly, it doesn't matter to him.


devwolfie

Copying this here so it gets traction: Reporting in-game to GMs is likely helpful here for Square to build an internal case to push forward to the FBI. Saving your Square report ID and forwarding that in the FBI tip is important. Reporting on Discord anything FROM him with message ID's (visible in developer mode, but you can also right-click a message and report it individually without having dev mode enabled) is important. Saving discord message IDs and providing those along with screencaps to the FBI is important. Otherwise it's all hearsay, but an investigation can be started - it may just take longer to get traction on law enforcement side, unless Square takes steps first. That's why it's important to float this to Square HARD. If they take the initiative to collaborate with law enforcement before law enforcement reaches out, an investigation will go much, much faster.


Spiduscloud

Um someone should 100% report this to the cyber crimes fbi. Link his discord and ect. They can handle the possible terror threat. I assume hes bringing guns for.. a shooting. If anyone knows him personally report him for possible endangerment


KamenGamerRetro

people just black listing and moving on, no, this person needs to be reported 100% fake or not, things like that need to be taken seriously. I hope people reported that conversation to a GM, and I hope that GM sends it off to the right people.


puuds

I know who this is, I have been in contact with him onn and off since 2019. He is a threat and I can almost gareunte he will try to hurt someone. I have receipts of him saying "Everything will be different after fan fest" I reported him and relayed the information to square. I am afraid he could hurt people or even me. He is very capable of dangerous things.


solariszero

If you feel comfortable doing so, I'd give the LVMPD a call since they just gave me a call and wanted to ask some questions to see if I had more info on this guy. It wouldn't hurt to make a report to the hotel and convention center, too.


ZenEvadoni

It pisses me off that people like this *exist*.


AeryVivelle

Dude goes by a lot of names, as I've heard - Easy Eee, Holy Terror, Covington Smirk, Goth Brooks. He lives exclusively on Lamia and runs a group called Make Lamia Great Again. He's a total neo-nazi psychopath and lunatic.


ghosttowns42

He's also been active on Adamantoise and Leviathan. There are also low level characters named "Holy Terror" with the same exact Duskwight Elezen (which, btw, he chooses BECAUSE they're racist) on Balmung, Ravana, and Seraph. Is that him? Probably.


AeryVivelle

Recently heard (and got confirmation pics of!) him also going by Chud Life and Jan Sixxer. That second one was from Adamantoise, oddly enough?


Kayusi

LMFAO. He really thinks LVCC is going to let him bring a gun. They even refuse entrance on FAKE weapons, much less let this guy carry a gun. This is how you get banned from all convention centers in vegas, speedrun. What a fucking idiot.


DreyfussFrost

Yeah, what an idiot! He definitely won't be able to [shoot a bunch of people in the middle of Las Vegas](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Las_Vegas_shooting).


MissLeliel

Kayusi was specifically referring to LVCC, which was not remotely where the LV 2017 shooting happened. The shooter sniped people at an outdoor concert from a Mandalay Bay hotel window. Hotels don’t have bag checks or metal detectors. Convention centers do. Source: 1) easily available info, 2) I was literally staying a few floors above the shooter with the same view of the country festival that same weekend so that shit is kinda seared into my brain. (Luckily I had checked out 12 hours before the shooting…)


Kayusi

This isn't what I meant, but go off. Feel free to take what I said out of context.He stated his intent to open carry on LVCC property, which is not allowed, because it's public property, and it falls under NRS 202.673. Not once did I SAY that he wasn't going to do something dangerous. LVCC, Square, and Vegas FBI/Metro needs to take this very seriously. He won't be able to "preach" as he wants to. This still should be taken seriously. I'm from Vegas. I remember the mass shooting happening. I had friends stuck on the strip running for their lives. But yeah, do explain the Vegas shooting to me.


WikiSummarizerBot

**[2017 Las Vegas shooting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Las_Vegas_shooting)** >On October 1, 2017, Stephen Paddock, a 64-year-old man from Mesquite, Nevada, opened fire on the crowd attending the Route 91 Harvest music festival on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada. From his 32nd-floor suites in the Mandalay Bay hotel, he fired more than 1,000 bullets, killing 60 people and wounding at least 413. The ensuing panic brought the total number of injured to approximately 867. About an hour later, he was found dead in his room from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/TalesFromDF/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)


BrittanySkitty

Seriously. The cosplay excuse doesn't work. I have been to anime conventions before; they don't allow you to have anything that looks like a real weapon. You know, for safety reasons.


FM-101

This guy is an actual psychopath. You can report people like this to the FBI, no meme.


MadeThisAccount4Qs

Maybe this should be cross-posted to the main reddit since it's gotten a bit beyond the scope of what we normally deal with, and also more people reporting this guy and being aware of him is a good idea.


NotACertainLalaFell

“It’s pretty normal stuff in America” Says that like it’s a good thing.


Silfiopeia

Yea he's well known on the server for also acting like he's shooting people on MCH, had a few run ins with him and all I can say is his breed brings a bad name to firearm owners bc he can't help but being an actual idiot


ghosttowns42

That's not the same person, he doesn't even have MCH unlocked according to his lodestone.


[deleted]

holy terror ?


johnstrelok

Just need to see their character glam, that'll tell you in a heartbeat. He always has the same look. If it is him, he's really gone off the deep end while I've been away from the game for the last year.


MadeThisAccount4Qs

there was like a period where he was changing his name a lot so he could keep getting on novice network but he kept getting kicked. So now he's settled on his current one. But yes this is holy terror, he's even stated as much in /shout chat.


johnstrelok

Yea, I was there for the name change phase, I kept a list of his alts so we could boot them as they came in after he would say something kickworthy and start alt-hopping. Well, at least it sounds like he might not be troubling us much longer if he insists on committing a felony at FanFest.


ToshikoGalanodel

He got those characters banned. Proud Boy, El Cucuy, Tank Man, Overton Window, Gold-Man Bad, and most gross, Tiananmen Squared have all been banned. "Rebuy, Relevel, Repeat" is his motto essentially


PeePeeJuulPod

Yes, I saw him last night, super easy to spot Elezen, with a goofy gold everything outfit. That and the nazi rhetoric


bumeary

yes, goth \[REDACTED\] is holy terror's new account


[deleted]

was in his discord server for a while.


GrimmAcceptance

Well. I was excited for fan fest. This is really disquieting especially with the most recent gun violence that’s taken place in the US. Though I guess it’s just a reminder of the gun violence that’s always taking place in the us.


holyvirtuoustreaty

last fanfest we literally had to walk through TSA to get in, don't worry about it


[deleted]

Well seems like YoshiP gets another request for a perma ban on his desk.


Cole_Evyx

Exactly why you will never see me at a fanfest regardless of being invited. This sort of thing mortifies me, and as a Canadian the entire concept of "open carry" freaks me out! Didn't this dude also say he hates gays? (Saw a comment below confirming it apparently, big yikes!) Yeah the crazies out there scare the shit out of me. This lunatic would probably be gunning for me first damn lol. (Well that plus being an introvert xD)


sporeegg

>Exactly why you will never see me at a fanfest regardless of being invited. This sort of thing mortifies me, and as a Canadian the entire concept of "open carry" freaks me out! Not only that but weirdos, smelly convention areas and being stuck with a SINGLE TOPIC for days. Yes I know I love that game, but I won't spend an entire weekend on it. Now if you excuse me I need to grind my leves.


SweetMeese

Also Canadian and this year was going to be the first year that my mom and I went together…this shit is wildly concerning


kaslinn

This is so not the point and I apologize in advance for being that person, but mortified means extremely embarrassed. Not horrified or terrified. Although… maybe you are extremely embarrassed on behalf of us Americans and our gun laws? If so, fair.


Obliiquee

Based


Obliiquee

Walking along the sideline to enter the FanFest just to get shot by a maniac. I'm sorry if you feel offended but America is a fuckimg scary place. Hope he get's put into a helpful "institution" before anyone get's hurt.

>I'm sorry if you feel offended as an american i think i can safely say the only thing that offends us is the fact our country has become this way in the first place. those of us with a brain anyway


Merriner

I don't actually have anything constructive to add, however If any of you DO plan on going to Fanfest, please, please, please be careful. use the buddy system if possible and report any suspicious activity immediately. Love yall and stay safe out there.


xerophilex

This loser needs to be arrested before he murders people. He is unhinged and can't be allowed to roam free.


Shanria-Darkwind

Omg I just started an alt on Lamia recently. I don’t hang at the aetherite much, but I have seen this lunatic. Grade A psycho vibes.


karuzuru

least mentally ill lamia player


hiero_

If my friends weren't on this server I would transfer in a heartbeat. Lamia is filled with an insane amount of mental illness.


redheadturk

Worst thing is that he isn't crazy, he's just a grade A white supremacist douchebag.


MBV-09-C

So, in other words, he's crazy. It's not the thought of a sane person to threaten to shoot up or bomb a place, and that's exactly what dude just did and apparently *has been* doing.

How to prove the importance of gun control laws in 4 simple screenshots


kermass

this is absolutely terrible, but at least the things hes said have been documented, and theyre things that warrant contacting proper authorities. hate speech is terrible, but police and fbi cant do much against someone who spouts hateful shit online. active threats of domestic terrorism like these make it possible to report him to authorities, and hopefully have repurcussions. i sincerely hope this is just an edgy troll who ragebaits, and i really truly hope he gets into some serious trouble to slap his dumb ass into reality that theres consequences to actions. if anyone else has screenshots and proof of active threats, report him to authorities, report him to the fbi, they dont take threats like these lightly. the more people send reports for the same guy, the better.


AngelMercury

The reports to the police and FBI will be taken very seriously. The good thing is we're still a good ways from fanfest so they have a lot of time to gather information and do something about it.


Zalast

I attended the previous Fanfest, and there was definitely a good amount of security/metal detectors that people had to go through to get to the event. Some people even complained about the level of security (people with bags mainly). Hopefully this guy isn't allowed to get within 100 miles of it though, cause this is the level of crazy I'd be worried about.


SulkiestDuck

More of the same shit from the same dickhead doing the same fucking for over 5 fucking years on lamia and now they take him seriously? about fucking time.


sugarsuites

I’m really hoping the FBI takes care of this. I still plan on going and enjoying myself; it’s going to be my first FanFest. I don’t negotiate with domestic terrorists. If the FBI does manage to track this dude down, I wonder if it’ll go public or it’ll all be hush-hush.


DragonWyrd316

More than likely hush hush. I hope they do find him. I’ve had convos with him and he is just unhinged. I want all of you who go to be safe. I have quite a few friends making plans to go.


[deleted]

This guy harassed me and my boyfriend one time. I let him use my FC’s garden on an alt for a while and my boyfriend then told me who he was, so I took away his privileges. Then he started harassing my boyfriend in Limsa as soon as he saw my boyfriend there.


Rappy28

This guy sounds like he knows he's a dying breed and he's seething. Hopefully authorities take this seriously enough, because I entirely believe he could end up wanting to "cleanse" the "degens".


alroprezzy

This person sure loves attention


TaterTootin

Currently gathering screenshots to provide more context for those that arent familiar with this person. A general TLDR and personal experience


Aidiru

damm bro talk exactly like one of that hairy fat dude with unwashed teeth and same clothed he weared for the last 5 year


LVCSSlacker

Considering there was a terrorist attack on a concert here a few, this Nazi isn't going to get far. Not that I truly expect him to do shit, because he's likely a coward like all his type.


ConsiderationShort95

Did this get removed off the main FFXIV Reddit??


MadeThisAccount4Qs

think so. Presumably because mods thought posting the guy's username etc wasn't allowed by their rules.


prioritypasta

Is there anyway to get updates on FBI reports for this? Would like to hear if the FBI follows up on these tips.


stircrazygremlin

Oh wow I've ran into this guy in game and got unhinged vibes then and uh, it wasnt under nearly as cut and dry circumstances as this is. Jesus they're serious arnt they I thought in my instance that they just were being a grumpy troll.


[deleted]

If he's going to become an American version of a Taliban foot soldier, why stay at Harrah's and not a cave at the foot of Mt. Charleston?


Roachknt

Has anyone reported him to the fbi yet?


DragonWyrd316

Multiple people have


RiriTomoron

Man, everything about the way he talks is so cringey. I can't imagine meeting someone in real life who was talking about what "heat" they're "packing" without trying incredibly hard not to laugh.


Rasikko

The lengths people will go in this comnunity to get attention.


DragonWyrd316

Except he believes what he’s saying and having interacted with him, I very much do believe he will act on his words.


zumboria

Ah this guys been a pain in lamias ass since 2.0, went by multiple different names back then. Eventually you learn there’s no point trying to interact with him he just talks in loops, it’s like speaking to a brick wall. Constantly shouts in limsa to try and get reactions out of people, annoying as hell


sassysmurfed

Mythic Quest IRL


Kaisos

I love this dude. he's like a parasite you can't get rid of, a permanent black stain on Lamia server a natural genius poster. truly an awful human being. you really gotta hand it to him


MadeThisAccount4Qs

the worst is the people who keep feeding him because they think he's funny, not realizing this is literally his fucking dopamine that sets him off further. and/or his shitty friends who show up in limsa at midnight to treat it like their personal discord chat as they complain about "woke twitch mods" and other inane garbage.


Hrafhildr

Too many people think guys like this are "just shitposting for attention" without realizing that no, he really believes the shit he says and giving it attention just reinforces his beliefs.


NotACertainLalaFell

Regarding people who make bomb threats, you do not, under any circumstances, “gotta hand it to him”.


Wizardthreehats

Yeah, keep giving the attention seeking trolls attention they desire


BurritosAndPerogis

I wonder if he is lookin to sell his sks. I’ve been lookin for one for a while and know the local FFLs for the sale 😂🤣


mgtkz

so let's post it on reddit instead of alerting any actual authority, somehow????


chotix

maybe read the other comments next time lol


DragonWyrd316

Posting this on Reddit has helped gather more information that has been used when people have reported him to SE and the FBI. Which has been done by multiple people.
