The Patriotic Nigras (also known by the initialism PN) are a group of griefers in the online world of Second Life.

While the PN are known mainly for the disruption of Second Life and its users, they have also established themselves on the video sharing website YouTube, where they have posted videos of their activities including server raids. Their method of attack ranges from trolling a group or individual to the manipulation of the in-game scripting engine, where they perform such activities as showering their targets with boxes covered in internet memes and shock images. These boxes then produce storms of graphical particles that block the victim's vision. They have also created avatars similar to those of the residents being harassed and destroyed them in gruesome ways to simulate a virtual death. The Patriotic Nigras have also caused the crashing of several Second Life regions (or "simulators") by using self-replicating objects that overload the processing power of the computer running them.

Properly characterizing the Patriotic Nigras has proven difficult for critics and researchers who have observed their activities from within their raids and from afar. The group has been described as a nonpolitical online terrorist group whose central motivation is described by the term "lulz". Others have identified quasi-political motivations such as the effort to hinder the entry of corporations into Second Life, and yet others have identified their activities as nihilistic or even agonistic online branches of the political avant-garde. The DHRA has also described them as a prime example of online criminal gang culture including spillover effects into real life gang activity. The group has been linked to internet group, Anonymous as both a sub-group and an early progenitor iteration. They have been described as /b/tards (a group affiliated with 4chan), members of SomethingAwful.com, and as an offspring of the W-Hats griefer group (itself an offshoot of the Goons). The PN make casual use of racist, sexist, and homophobic terminology which some researchers dismiss as a joke and which others have identified as problematic and troubling.

Whatever the true character and affiliations of the group, it has provoked commentary by critics and internet culture writers since its formation in 2005, and it has been listed as one of the central figures in the griefer culture of Second Life. Membership in the group has ranged from 35 members in 2007 up to a rough 200 at their peak in mid-2011.

History

Habbo Hotel

The origin of the Patriotic Nigras has been traced by cyber-rights researcher Peter Ludlow to the /b/ imageboard of the website 4chan where board members decided in late 2005 to "raid" Habbo Hotel, a popular avatar-based social networking game. The raid took the form of numerous black presenting avatars with outsize afros and Armani suits blocking access to the virtual pool and telling other users that "the pool is closed because of AIDS." From this raid, according to Ludlow, emerged the Patriotic Nigras and their Internet meme slogan, "Pool's Closed."

The success of the first raid has led the Patriotic Nigras to perform raids on the Habbo Hotel during subsequent years. The 2006 anniversary raid was organized at the /i/ imageboard of the website 7chan. The format of these raids is always the same with the use of avatars that look like black men with afros, and the group sometimes forms offensive images with the avatars such as swastikas.

Second Life

The Second Life phase of the group's activities began in early 2006 when an anonymous user known as "Mudkips Acronym" reposted on 4chan a question originally posed at eBaum's World regarding whether or not Second Life "was raidable." There were 143 Patriotic Nigras members as of September 2007, of which around 35–60 were active. The response to "Mudkips Acronym"'s challenge was rapid and the group soon established itself as a fixture on Second Life. As of 2008, the Patriotic Nigras were said to operate hundreds, if not thousands, of Second Life accounts.

By mid-2006, a number of Second Life users had had enough of the PN's antics and a Second Life member named "Kalel Venkman" formed a counter-griefer vigilante group named the Justice League Unlimited. With avatars donning the skins of superheroes like Superman and Wonder Woman, the Justice League Unlimited established monitors in many areas of Second Life and zealously reported any untoward behavior to the Linden Lab administrators. The zeal with which they executed their duties, however, proved to be problematic and they were soon banned from areas such as FurNation for excessive vigilantism. According to cyber-rights researcher, Peter Ludlow, the Justice League Unlimited's anti-PN efforts also became problematic as the close association between 4chan users and Patriotic Nigras led to the unwarranted harassment of many users who were 4channers only and not members of the PN.

In February 2007, the group gained media coverage after an attack on the Second Life headquarters of politician John Edwards in which the Patriotic Nigras attacked with their avatars bearing "Bush 08" buttons and defaced Edwards's structure with feces, Marxist/Leninist posters, and obscenity. They also received coverage for an earlier attack on a room where Second Life user Anshe Chung was being interviewed about her claims to have made the 'virtual property' equivalent of over one million dollars off the game. The room was invaded by flying penises. This incident was also attributed to the "Room 101" group.

The Patriotic Nigras were at first tolerated by the producers of Second Life, Linden Lab, but after the John Edwards attack they began to crack down and now take efforts to find and ban griefers on sight. To fight back, the Patriotic Nigras found ways to bypass the bans Linden Lab typically employs. New Media critics have described the Patriotic Nigras' antagonistic relationship with Linden Lab as arising in reaction to the company's player-monitoring policies (described as part of a broadly Foucaultian institutionalized control apparatus). To further their aims on Second Life, the PN developed a modified Second Life client called ShoopedLife that allowed them to bypass many of the hardware-banning methods typically used by Linden Lab to prevent persistent griefers from accessing Second Life. Reacting against this, the Justice League Unlimited formed close associations with Linden Lab administrators, going so far as to monitor when administrators were available for contact so that griefing could be rapidly halted.

As Patriotic Nigras countermeasures intensified the situation, Justice League Unlimited suspicions concerning Patriotic Nigras connections to 4chan deepened and Second Life players received bans for nothing more than their association with 4chan. This finally culminated in the closing of Woodbury University's virtual campus, and led thereafter to an escalation of factional maneuvers between the Woodbury group and the Justice League Unlimited who characterized all opponents as PN sympathizers. In a series of multi-directional infiltrations, personal information including the real life names of "Kalel Venkman," several Woodbury group members, writers for The Alphaville Herald, and Patriotic Nigras leader "Mudkips Acronym" was published online. In August 2007, "Mudkips Acronym" resigned in fear that this information would be used to compromise his security, and by mid-2008, the Justice League Unlimited had been disbanded following embarrassing revelations of the nature of their relationship with Linden Lab and their efforts to "dox" Second Lifers suspected of connections to the PNs through the collection of extensive dossier-style information.

Shoopedlife Client

Following the exit of "Mudkips Acronym," members of the Patriotic Nigras held an election to determine the new leader, which was won by a user known online as "^ban^". According to a griefing publication, "^ban^" resigned after ten months and handed control of the group over to a user known by the screen name "FrizzleFry101" (a reference to the album and song by American band Primus). In July 2008, the PN client, ShoopedLife was further modified to utilize the Lua code base to automate specific functions of the regular client. In December 2008, the main developer for ShoopedLife, "N3X15," left the Patriotic Nigras, effectively ending development of the client. ^ban^ returned to PN in 2012 using the name Ap0110 Cr33d. ^ban^ now known as Ap0110 Cr33d a name taken from Apollo Creed a fictional character from theRocky films, initially portrayed as the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World. Reunited the group and brought back old members and unified The Patriotic Nigras again. Ap0110 recruited a developer named SimmS to continue development of the shoopedlife client.PN has successfully produced a new Shoopedlife client and a client based on firestorm version called ShoopedStorm. ShoopedStorm has proven to be a successful and reliable client. Although the main features is the greifing tools that is used to crash sims, it also has powerful copybot features.

The Patriotic Nigras were an invasion group on Second Life from 2006-2011, dedicated to producing lulz out of Second Life citizens as well as their main targets, the furriess. It started as a thread on 7chan asking if Second Life was raidable. Many naysayers bitched and moaned about how SL would simply b& anyone trying to raid it. A couple Nigras stepped up, and the Patriotic Nigras were born. ^ban^ returned to PN in 2012 using the name Ap0110 Cr33d. ^ban^ now known as Ap0110 Cr33d a name taken from Apollo Creed a fictional character from theRocky films, initially portrayed as the Undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World.

Ruining Your Second Life Since 2006

/b/lockade

Phase I consisted of the first two Nigras - Ulzuki Kuu, and Mudkips Acronym, the first leader of the PN. After looking for fellow nigras and finding none, they wandered into the "Gay Yiffy Club". Nigra Luvs2 Fapp soon joined the party. Finding a group of "private rooms", they /b/lockaded them by building giant boxes in front, for the lulz. In search of a texture, Luvs2 Fapp simply chose the American Flag. The furry clubs were closed. Due to AIDS. Both Ulzuki and Luvs2 were b& from the parcel immediately - Mudkips had fled and lived to put a giant box inside the disco dance floor with yet another American Flag texture.

The First Fort Longcat

Main Article: Fort Longcat

After the Nigras were ejected from the furries club, they proceeded to protest outside. Mudkips Acronym had put down an American flag box outside - the Nigras turned this into a swastiget, taking the American flag and turning it into a swastika. Furries gawked in horror, standing at the parcel's edge, as the group of Nigras, now at 5, started building a /b/arracks right outside the GYC and mocked them with Nazi imagery.

A rogue furry placed a box right in the middle of the /b/arracks. Suddenly, Nigras started floating, trapped inside the box, due to SL physics. As furries started attempting to yiff the unarmed and scared Nigras, Mudkips gave the order, and the Nigras left, taking down their fort and swearing revenge against the racist furry mods. The Patriotic Nigras had now taken their first step.

Over the next few months, several new structures were built and christened Fort Longcat. They became a centralized meeting place for the Nigras and pre-raid organization, and a great place to store weapons.

The Raids Begin

As the popularity of the group skyrocketed, due to /i/ seeing that it wasn't just a two-man invasion force, the group had over 15 (and growing) ready and willing Nigras. Sympathetic /b/tards scripted Mudkips uniforms, miniguns, new doomsday weapons, and other junk for the Nigras to use against the racists and the furries.

Over the course of two days, the Nigras had crashed nearly every FurNation region in Second Life. Teleporting in, harassing them with assault rifles and cries of "so I herd u leik mudkips", firing the Doomsday, and then teleporting back to Fort Longcat, an efficient strike team pattern emerged, guaranteeing flawless victory. Nigras in Mudkip uniforms would spawn attack helicopters, firing cannons at the furries and their structures below, blasting them across the region.

Return To The GYC

Revenge had been sworn, and the Nigras were black. A full-scale invasion commenced as a strike team of Nigras went inside the club. Meanwhile, Mudkips and the Nigras that couldn't figure out how to work the teleporter harassed GYC security with Doomsday and an item that created massive amounts of Marios that flew across the terrain.

Patriotic Nigras = Terrorist

PN: OFFICIAL INTERNET TERRORISTS

"And those of you that were listening to last night’s show might be interested in the site mentioned by interlib about the SL terrorist organization Patriotic Nigras in the Encyclopedia Dramatica."

It is clear that PN did 9/11.

ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH

Due to ongoing attacks against the helpless Nigras of being terrorist, the PN had stepped up to refute the outrageous claims of internet terrorism, and the Nigras have issued a press release.

PATRIOTIC NIGRAS: "WE DO IT FOR THE LULZ" Anonymous - Classified Location, Second Life

PN spokesperson and leader Mudkips Acronym issued a press release concerning the branding of the group as a "terrorist" organization.

"This label is offensive, degrading, and completely without merit. The PNs were buying hard-earned land near this blowhard, when he kicked us all off the land, presumably simply for being black or wearing American Flag capes. 'intLib' apparently advocates free speech and un-PC-ideas until they show up in his backyard."

The organization denies any "terrorist" activity toward "intLib". "Why our upstanding organization, breaking all of the taboos of Second Life society, would target this man, is beyond me. Our goal is simply laughs (and of course to rid Second Life of furry AIDS), and before this incident, we doubted that anyone but the furries would deliver the lulz, their cries of 'fursecution' echoing uselessly against the aural might of Mario particle spam and self-duplicating Megaman III cubes. I suppose we were wrong."

About PN:

The PATRIOTIC NIGRAS are an organization from the website www.ebaumsworld.com gathering black people from around the world to revolt against Second Life racists and furries in Second Life while maintaining a patriotic spirit and the lulz. Blatantly racist Linden moderators have banned PNs for simply exercising their right to free speech and putting up ten story military complexes on abandoned land. Intelligent, technically savvy members have devised contributions to the Second Life library and relinquished their copyright status, including scripts, logos, images, and sounds. They maintain an elusive location changing base called Fort Longcat detectable only by Imperial probe droids.

OFFICIAL PATRIOTIC NIGRAS PRESS RELEASE (C) PN 2007, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Apparently, someone took the press release srsly and attempted to refute the argument point by point with logic - not realizing, in fact that they had been trolled in an epic manner. The user says he was the one to issue the label, but at least 100 people are confused at who the hell he is. Also, one must wonder if crashing furry sex playgrounds is equivalent to being Osama Bin Laden.

The Chanpocalypse

7chan's /i/ was dead. 420chan was crippled. 4chan...was 4chan. And yet the PN rode it all out in stride. However, on 2/7/07, tragedy struck - without warning, the forums were baleeted from under Anonymous' nose. The group has regrouped, however, and is now back to eliminating the spread of AIDS.

The Post

There are of course those who do not want us to speak. I suspect even now, words are being shouted into internet radio microphones, and mods with bansticks will soon be on their way. Why? Because while the ban may be used in lieu of conversation, words will always retain their power. Words offer the means to meaning, and for those who will listen, the enunciation of truth. And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with Second Life, isn't there? Furry yiff parties, mods silencing of those who seek change, and what have you. And where once you had the freedom to object, think, and speak as you saw fit, you now have IP bans and hypocritical labelers coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well, certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? Doomsday boxes, Mario mosh pits, flying fiery phalli. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the Lindens and those who would call others "terrorists." They promised you order, they promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Tonight, the Patriotic Nigras forum was taken permanently offline by Proboards weeaboo, demanding that groups such as our humble organization be silenced. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me, outside FurNation, the GYC, and the land of those who would judge. I would like to remind such of the following. The pool is still closed. Anonymous does not forgive. Anonymous does not forget. We are united as one. Divided by zero.

media s vs. PN

Around the end of February, the PN had gained enough attention for a press maelstrom. PN was mentioned as "a few groups" attempting to shut down now-illegal virtual pedophilia (see loli) in the Netherlands, and a really terrible article was written about a PNer in the Second Life Herald. It was the beginning of the many lulzy articles to come from the Second Life Herald and other Second Life news articles.

John Edwards Is Closed

One of the most hilarious things to happen in March was that PN raided John Edwards' campaign, causing lots of lulz. Immediately, the Edwards camp branded the people making trouble in the neighborhood as ultra-rightists, conveniently overlooking the numerous Pool's Closed and Over Nine Thousand references in the area. Notable blogs such as Kotaku, GamePolitics, and of course our favorite little wanna-be press organization the Second Life Herald all took note. Soon, even The Daily Show took notice.

Fort Longcat's Closed

Main Article: Fort Longcat

Around Mid-March to Early April, The Fort Longcats prospered, many small forts were created and bigger forts were erected. However, one day, a spai was invited and trapped the innocent Nigras in their last epic Fort Longcat: Desert Longcat. On the morning of April, the Lindens found out about the fort. Desert Longcat then laid in ruins, and many innocent Nigras had been tracked down and b&, Mootykips declared that there would be no more Fort Longcats or other meeting places in-grid due to them turning into massive b& traps minutes within their creation due to spies and faggotry. Punishment for talking about or building a Fort Longcat is a permab& from the PN. This would be only a fraction of the drama and bullshit to follow.

Dramafestable 07

Mooty Steps Down

Mudkips Acronym, long-time leader of the Patriotic Nigras, stepped down in late July and handed the control of PN to whoever would win the election being held. It is believed that this was mostly due to his dox being dropped and distributed to every single SL lolcow, and his momma got scared and said he's movin' with his auntie and uncle in Bel-air. It was later discovered that all along, he had been underage b& and was apparently none other than Doogie Fucking Howser. After stepping down, he continued to spur drama for a few months, and then gave up and quit.

Revenge of The Nigras

With their leader gone, their future in jeopardy, and a heated election spurned by bribes of CP, the Patriotic Nigras managed to survive and began to systematically eliminate all drama from their ranks, starting with the biggest dramafag of all, Yaranaika.

Drama and Bullshit

After Mudkips' swift departure, an election was held to find the new leader. Yaranaika, primary builder of Fort Longcats and keeper of the caches, was then elected in a massively rigged election. Since he had access to authorize new accounts for the forums, he brought in tons of furries spies into the forums specifically to vote for him. However, he was soon outed as a furries spy employed by Intblubber in order to keep tabs on the Nigras, build Fort Longcats to be used as b& traps, and fill each of the Nigra caches with AIDS trackers that allowed the Lindens to swoop in and instantly b& anyone using the weapon. Yara was publicly outed and humiliated, and in a fit of rage and butthurt, set about a vendetta to destroy the PN once and for all, which has seemed to work very well. All of the accounts he personally authorized were all deleted. With Yara gone, most of the drama from within the ranks of the PN had been cleansed, but not all of it. In lieu of these events, N3X15 convened a special election to determine the new leader of the PN, which was won by Jesus Was A Nigra after trying to bribe several members of the PN with CP, making sure not to accidentally include his furries pron in the rars.

In a moment of epic win and truly epic lulz, FATNIGRA managed to piss JWAN off enough to make him BAWWWW hard on the forums and start a shitstorm of drama. He was promptly b& and similar to Yara, swore a vendetta against PN and became a furries LOL HE ALREADY WAS ONE.

^ban^ Pierces the Heavens

A new election was held to determine the next leader of PN, and was won by ^ban^. Immediately after taking office, ^ban^ set to turn the PN back to its former glory. His first act as Supreme Nigra Overlord was to reinstate the practice of building Fort Longcats and enacted a complete b& on all forms of drama and faggotry. He also formed a group to train new and aspiring Nigras to be hardass pipe-hitting Nigras, Al Afroduck's Martyrs Brigade.

AfroBall Z: The SaviorChan Saga

Main Article: SaviorChan

Although the PN knows that their main concentration of lulz is Second Life, they still will fight and help destroy the furries menace in other territories such as the dreaded newfag land of 4chan's /b/. At least 100 years ago, the motherland had become a place of newfaggotry and failure, resulting in the mass exodus of many Anons. After moot began purging the cancer killing /b/, the PN retrieved some ancient thread spammers and set about to run the furriess and newfags from /b/, which resulted in massive win, but moot would later completely undermine the efforts by using his weeaboo magic to Gay 2.0 the front page, thus bringing many of those newfags back.

All Hail God-Emperor FrizzleFry

In July of 2008, PN's leader ^ban^, whom had brought the Nigras out of the drama faggotry, stepped down and handed control over to FrizzleFry101.

]

Elections were briefly considered and then abandoned completely because they are gay and Frizzle was unanimously declared God-Emperor, and his first act as Warboss was to immediately declare war upon the heretics of Kit Estates.

PN World Tour 2008

Main Article: Notable Achievements of the Patriotic Nigras

For about 4 months, the glorious Nigras, under guidance of new warboss, FrizzleFry, went on a mother fucking trolling spree. Many lulz were had during those great times. Things have since slowed down to a more manageable pace, but memories of this era will always bring smiles to every Nigra's face, such as Corsi Mousehold being humiliated and retreating from the internet for a few months and Wolfeedarkfang and his friends being obliterated several times.

N3X15 Quits

N3X15, long-time side admin and maintainer of ShoopedLife, quit the PN to go play in SL. No one really paid attention or cared, as RoFLKOPTr soon stepped in to take over control of the website. The site was down for all of five minutes and all the furriess crawled out from their filthy cum-stained basements to immediately declare victory, but when the same came up those five minutes, they immediately fled in terror as the WAAAAAAAAAAGH re-commenced.

Anontalk Butthurt Leads to Downtime - Official PN Statement

So basically what happened was the butthurt Anontalk guy got mad at chatnets because no one would fondle his microscopic cock, so he DDoSed all of the server nodes of the network, including the PN website, which caused our host to shit its pants and pull our site. After weeks of fighting with these guys to get the hard drive with all of our shit on it, we finally got it and the site is back up.

Meanwhile, some completely irrelevant and butthurt SL e-mafia group tried to take credit for taking the site down, but then they couldn't even get the IP of our website right.

PN and Greater

This phase started around the beginning of April. It began the phase of PN operations, including PSYOPS, infiltration, advanced weaponry, and cell-based information hiding techniques that would make any Al Qaeda operative jealous.

Evading IP Bans - The Discovery

Many nigras, especially those who had been raiding for months, had fallen victim to a new type of ban, reserved only for the worst offenders - a dreaded IP ban. While an IP address is recordable and necessary for using the Second Life application, as opposed to the non-vital information of the Hard Drive ID or MAC address, the IP could not be spoofed in the open-source SL client via ShoopedLife. For long, PN was at a standstill. However, a discovery of an application labeled Proxifier that sent all traffic through a specified proxy, paired with a working SOCKS5 proxy (or, upon later examination, a Tor node) bypassed any IP ban. The veteran nigras quickly got back to disrupting the furries community though a series of massive operations.

The First furries War

A few weeks after furriess invaded Woodbury University in April 2007, making the former shrine to /b/ a den of faggotry, anti-griefer security forces started to deploy infantry, spy, and recon units to various sims, the PN forums, and IRC with the Second Lifers expressing doubts that PN was effectively going to invade their sims (Operation Superlaser), while at the same time urging other sim owners to send their own forces to the scene.

Operation: Tacgnol Storm

furries coalition-building efforts were so successful that by the time the fighting (Operation: Tacgnol Storm) began on May 12th, 2007, many sims, such as the Virtual World Trade Center, owned by IntLib, were alerted and actively deployed anti-griefer measures. However, PN forces caught the community off guard by the sheer scale of the attack. Originally, three cells were given four targets to attack - places, such as Club Arsheba, Template:Slsim, and Template:Slsim, as well as SLers such as IntLib and Prokofy Neva. However, upon coordination with other members of cells via secure channels, PN forces were able to quickly mobilize and repeatedly crash or lag target sims. With no clear spy problem evident, Mudkips Acronym gave the order to combine into one cell and hit anything with build or that could be crashed.

Operation: Longcat Shield

The second large raid was a repeat of Tacgnol Storm intended to take advantage of the new technology engineered by PN scripters. While during the first hour, many nigras logged on to find their accounts banned in advance, when alts were created the raid proceeded as usual. While videos of the raid are still being processed, a video of the Spengbab Lolcube weapon is available here and is worth a look.

Operation: Pwned by LL

Woodbury University was shut down by Linden Lab for being (supposedly) a PN BASE OF OPERATIONS! This prompted an an immensely lolable boo-hoo by Tizzers Foxchase (PN wannabe) and huge shitstorm of lulz thereafter that dominated the front page of the Second Life Herald for well over a week after. Prokofy Neva started foaming at the mouth again, and much lulz was had.

Of course, as the Woodbury University sim was never a PN base of any sort, PN scored a most epic win by unintentionally framing Tizzers for their crimes. The nigras are now considering infiltrating other groups and sims so as to frame them for supporting cyberterrorism.

O HAI ^BAN^ WELCOME TO LEADERDOM

After the multiple fags holding office as leader of the PN, we thought it was time to finally elect one who could pierce our path with his drill. And so, ^ban^ was the new leader, and path-piercing he did do.

Operation: Partyhat

In honor of the motherland's birthday, PN organized a raid filled with thousands of party hats. Even though they weren't scripted to be sim crashing weapons, many sims went down due to the sheer amount of win.

Operation: Morning Glory

It was the 5th of November, Guy Fawkes night. PN decided that Intlib had not had enough sleepless nights, and so they waged a full-scale war on all of Intlib's sims to force him and the other srs bsns fgts to stay awake all night guarding their sims. It was a devastating psychological attack that caused many of the anti-lulz army to vanish for two days, resulting in epic raids through-out the day.

Operation: Battlecruiser

The PN were approached by a Wired reporter that wanted to document them and their activities. Thus, a raid of epic proportions was scheduled. What was originally going to be a small raid of a handful of Nigras turned into one of the largest scale raids to date, with full Martyr and Nigra participation, causing countless sim crashes and lulz all over the grid. The anti-lulz army attempted to play down the massive raid by getting one of their fags to dress up in a newbie suit and take a screenshot, but were quickly lol'd at and completely disregarded because they sucks cocks.

PN World Tour 2008

After ^ban^ stepped down and FrizzleFry became the new PN Warboss, another burst of activity shot forth from all orifices of the mighty Nigras.

Bhutto's Closed

After the death of Benazir Bhutto, several butthurt unknown decided to throw an e-funeral for her in Second Life. Sensing the massive lulz potential, the PN immediately brought its best minds together and concocted an epic raid. Dressed as unknown, the Nigras sent out megaprims with pictures of goatse and a shooped Bhutto saying gb2/kitchen. After all the other Nigras were banned, one brave Nigra ran up to the giant picture of Bhutto and exploded with the glory of Allah and Muhammed Hassan.

Hunter Talon - PuppetMan

The Second Life Herald did an article about the death of Hunter Talon, a JLU faggot that had spinal AIDS and couldn't move or walk. While the JLU was busy crying over the death of their beloved rubber puppet, the PN snuck into the funeral procession and spammed it with a picture of PuppetMan being held up with strings by a Nigra puppetmaster with PN carved into his chest. This created so much butthurt that any account that had even seen the texture was banned, resulting in WU getting deleted yet again and IntLibber temp B&.

Not long after the raid ended, Slowpoke showed up and started firing off Bhutto cubes from the Bhutto raid. Everybody lol'd.

OSGrid

During their many battles against the racist and fascist Lindens, the Nigras were told of a wonderful place, where a man was not judged by the color of his skin or the length of his cat, but by his willingness to have fun and enjoy himself. The Nigras journeyed far and wide before they came to this place, where they erected a temple to their illustrious god. The natives of this area did not like this, and set about the place wearing white sheets and carrying pitch forks and chased the Nigras from these lands. As it turned out, this land was rife with racism and hatred, even moreso than Second Life.

The Nigras went on to immediately declare war on these heathen lands. Within a few minutes of the declaration of war, OSGrid's asset servers were completely broken, a majority of the regions had been completely destroyed, and the ones that remained had all of their objects rescripted into goatse and gore cubes.

Chanology Gets Scared the Fuck Off

At some point, a really butthurt fag tried to request PN be his personal army and was flatly denied. After being trolled, he ran back to his moralfag hive and fussed about how PN knows the deep dark secret of Chanology (that it and anyone associated with it is a enemy of PN.) A few moralfags tried to vamp the site and massively failed, as the PN servers were hardened to DragonForce-level metal after millions of failed furries attempts. After PN threatened to dox drop the entire forum and use Scientology money from the dox to fund its Russian branch, the thread was deleted and several people involved were banned. Any further attempts to raid PN receive the same treatment because Enturb is scared to death the Nigra Death Squad will knock on their door.

Ever so often the fail army shows back up to BAWWWWW and PN stomps them back down.

Furrum Obliterated / Operation SaviorChan

At some point, a butthurt furries couldn't take it anymore and created a forum to try and coordinate furries floods in an attempt to stop the SaviorChan Delay swarm and its cold, unfeeling, all-seeing eyes full of hate and exterminatus. Eventually, one of the furriess was dumb enough to post a link to their forum on the site during a delayclose bombardment, thinking that it would bring all of his furries friends to the site in safety, but it instead alerted the Nigras to their faggotry.

As it turned out, the furriess had been coordinating the floods all along from this website, so the brave Nigras set out to purge Furrum. The first operation was standard doxing and humiliating, followed by a complete and total flood of every single board on the site. Then the delayborg activated and burned the website into nothing. In the end, all that was left were burned furries corpses and a Page Not Found error screen.

Eventually, the Furrum admins put a page up admitting that they had lost and the glorious Nigras had won, destroying the furries morale and eliminating the furriess once and for all, or so they thought. Later on, moot patched the post deleting exploit, which brought in a shitstorm of furriess and undid everything that SaviorChan had done for the past 5 months. In disgust, N3X15 dropped support for SaviorChan and declared Operation: Savior officially closed. The Nigras officially abandoned the established chans and set out to create their own: 915chan, which brought back the win of old.

Alliance Navy Meets Copybot

Utilizing the account of the furries in a bodybag, Avena Marshall, the PN was able to get ahold of every sooper seekrit AN vehicle, weapon and armor and copybotted them all and released them publicly, resulting in massive butthurt from the AN.

This was soon expanded into an even bigger operation, targetting all of the military roleplay fags like the Merczateers that fag around.

Brainiac Core Released

Since Carigorp's account was used to destroy the JLU's headquarters, they had hardly been a threat to the PN at all, but just for good measure, the Nigras got ahold of and released the scripts used to query the Brainiac database which stores information on every single character in Second Life, including dox and credit card information given to the JLU by corrupt Lindens.

In reponse, Kalel immediately changed the query address on the website, but the Nigras keep discovering it and he keeps having to change it.
