Or: How to Speedrun Your 86

๐Ÿšช Once upon a time, a player, let's call him "Chad", spawned into Noisebridge on what would become a historic run.

๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ Chad was attempting a 3D print. A member of the space was unable to help him complete it the way he wanted, right then and there.

๐Ÿ˜ค Chad's frustration meter started climbing. His tone changed. His body language shifted.

๐Ÿ‘€ The member noticed this, and said so. Chad did not take this feedback gracefully.

"I'm uncomfortable with how this interaction is going. I'm going to ask you to leave for the night."

๐Ÿ”„ Now, at this point, Chad had a choice. He could accept the soft resetโ€”take a walk, cool off, come back another day to finish his print. This is what people who remain welcome at Noisebridge do.

๐ŸŽฎ But THIS Chad wasn't here for a casual playthrough.

๐Ÿ† THIS Chad was going for the global hackerspace speedrun record.


๐Ÿ The Run[edit]

๐Ÿ“ Split โฑ๏ธ Time ๐Ÿ’ฌ What Happened ๐Ÿ† Achievement ๐ŸŽฏ Effectiveness
SPLIT 1
๐Ÿค The Negotiator
โฑ๏ธ 00:00:00 "But my print," Chad protested, apparently believing his 3D print job constituted a hostage situation requiring negotiation. ๐Ÿ’ผ โœ“ Treating an ATL like an opening bid 0/10
SPLIT 2
๐Ÿ“œ The Originalist
โฑ๏ธ 00:01:47 "I think conflicts here should be settled between individuals," Chad said, wildly misreading the room, the wiki, and the entire concept of an Ask To Leave.

Sir, this is being settled between individuals. The settlement is: you leave.
โœ“ Invoking rules you made up on the spot 0/10
SPLIT 3
๐Ÿ“Š The Org Chart
โฑ๏ธ 00:04:32 "Is there someone else I could talk to?" Chad asked, hoping to escalate to the President of the Anarchist Collective. Unfortunately, the Secretary of Hierarchy was out that evening, and the Vice Chancellor of Telling You What You Want To Hear doesn't exist. ๐Ÿคท โœ“ Looking for the manager at an anarchist hackerspace โˆž/10
SPLIT 4
โš–๏ธ The Threshold Argument
โฑ๏ธ 00:08:15 "So you feel SO uncomfortable that you need me to LEAVE?" Chad demanded, attempting to establish a discomfort threshold he could rules-lawyer his way under. Ah yes, the classic "but is it really that bad?" defense. Famously effective. [citation needed]

The member confirmed: yes. โœ…

Chad still did not leave. SIGTERM ignored. ๐Ÿšซ
โœ“ Arguing about whether feelings are valid 0/10
SPLIT 5
๐Ÿฅท Security Through Obscurity
โฑ๏ธ 00:12:44 "What's your name?" the member asked, beginning documentation.

"I'm not going to tell you that," Chad replied, apparently unaware that this is Noisebridge, not a CIA black site, and that someone definitely knows who he is. Stealth builds don't work when you've been loudly arguing in the laser cutting area for twenty minutes. ๐Ÿ™Š
โœ“ Anonymous mode in a room full of witnesses โˆž/10
SPLIT 6
๐ŸŽ“ The Credential Dump
โฑ๏ธ 00:17:23 Chad noted his qualifications: twenty-five years of makerspace experience. He also name-dropped someone present who was not a member, not his friend, had not invited him, and had simply crossed paths with him coincidentally.

"I know a guy who's here" is not the buff you think it is when the guy is like "who is this". Also, why wouldn't we just ask your "friend" what your name is?!?
โœ“ Name-drop (missed)
โ˜… SECRET: Attempted name-drop while refusing to give your own name?!?

actually funny/10
SPLIT 7
๐Ÿ”„ The Uno Reverse
โฑ๏ธ 00:22:08 "I'm hearing a lot of I-statements from you," Chad observed. "You seem very self-centered."

Reader, the member was using I-statements because that's how you describe your own experience without making accusations. Chad was essentially criticizing someone for not accusing him of anything while also demanding to know exactly what he was being accused of.

Schrรถdinger's Asshole: simultaneously demanding and rejecting the feedback.
โœ“ Criticizing NVC to the person using it correctly impressively
wrong/10
SPLIT 8
๐ŸŽค The Filibuster
โฑ๏ธ 00:26:41 The member, hungry and exhausted, excused themselves briefly. Upon returning, they tried again. Chad continued to refuse. SIGKILL pending. โ˜ ๏ธ

Finally, the member announced the situation to others in the space. Another member came to assist. Chad, undeterred, continued to state his case to anyone within earshot, confident that someone would see reason (his reason) (the wrong reason).
โœ“ Arguing to the witnesses who are documenting you โˆž/10

๐Ÿ“š Lessons Learned[edit]

If Chad had simply accepted the soft reset when first offered, there would be no run. No documentation. No leaderboard entry. He could have come back the next day and finished his print. โœ…

๐Ÿ’ก PRO TIP: The ATL is a checkpoint, not a game overโ€”unless you refuse it, in which case you forfeit the whole save file. โŒ ๐Ÿ’พ

Instead, Chad is a teaching moment. A fable. A wiki page. A world record holder. ๐Ÿ†
