The Xuphor situation

[macmanhigh]

So... what happens now? Do we just wait for another reply from Xuphor or Kinecto?

Now we can go back to complaing about how every system has no gaems

 

[Ryukouki]

It's one thing to joke or lie a little bit, but lying to hundreds of members under the pretense of dying is a bit much.

Let's sum this up real quick, just so everyone can understand.

We already know THIS is Xuphor's twitter account

By that, we can deduce, this is also Xuphor's funnyjunk account.

That last one was taken as of 5 minutes ago...I have underlined how that account is online as of right now.

I'm not saying this is all bullshit, but there is certainly the strong odor of fecal matter coming directly from this whole thing...

Thanks for summarizing all of this into one post as I was far too lazy to do so, Twin.

The internet is full of scammers. That's nothing new.

Just take everything you read with a grain of salt, until there is some actual proof. If she doesn't reply with some actual proof, just assume it is a fabrication and don't lose any sleep over it.

If you want to help the sick and dying, volunteer at a hospital or with sick kids or something; an anonymous internet video-game forum is not the place to do it.

It's sad, very sad, if this turns out to be sick joke, if her sister has really shown her true colors in such an ignominious fashion. There is no way to describe what I'm feeling right now.

Sorry to break the trend, but that funnyjunk comment by tombombadil below the highlighted post is 10 shades of awesome.

I sent her a PM when she first posted her topic talking about life and the possibility of not opting out and never got a reply....i was a little hurt at first but perhaps this explains it.

Agreed, I am pretty sweet.

After seeing Twin's post about Xuphor (zyketor) being online some minutes ago, I now feel emotionally mugged.

You saw her post? Oh boy....damn, this is getting weirder by the minute.

Hahahaha... If this is true then this is one of the best pranks I have ever seen. I mean this would mean she set this whole thing up a long time ago (If she lied about EVERYTHING) and that is just plain heartless. She really must be a troll of top class and I kinda envy her for being that good. I mean getting to know so many people and then dropping this bomb, possibly sacrificing all the respect you have gotten over the years from all the members... She will have hurt so many caring and naive people.​

​

I had been following the 'medical condition' thread and it all seemed so fishy to me from the beginning. I mean posting something you want to keep private on a fourm?!? Not accepting help and just die!?! (maybe if you're suicidal). Anyway, I wanted post the regular 'hope you get well soon' thing but I wanted to wait and see how things would develop. Of course I don't know much about Xuphor, yet it was interesting to see something like this on a gaming forum. I was also amazed by the appropriate responses and it all slowly started to sound real, although there were still many gaps. Then stuff developed and developed and at some point I started to seriously doubt any of this was true. A mysterious CELEBIRTY!?! Okay maybe, but why suddenly accept donations. I know it's not that much money for him/her, but... I just doesn't add up. Suddenly a transplant!?! That's just too much luck. And of course the sister n00b stuff, just bullshit. Now with the latest post I'm almost certain this was a top-level hoax and she should just have said she died to end this prank.​

​

Then again her story might be true and I hope she will be well (of course I'm also sorry for calling her a 'liar'), but it's seriously hard to believe. I know I said this would be a good prank, but it's also kinda sad for the people who cared so much for this. I know there have been other people with other problems on GBAtemp, I do believe those people are telling the truth (less gaps etc.) and hope they get what they want. But you never know what's real or not. I mean... I'm starting to doubt if I'm real... Wait... Am I?​

 

[DSoryu]

Pretty expected.

I really can't understand this type of people... You see, I was watching that Xuphor's thread from the shadows, and keep myself out of the thread because I don't bothered to answer. The reason? I have been in another forums where threads like this surface not very often, but with different topics such as a car accident, a robery, a familiar desease etc... so when I first saw the Xuphor's thread, I was like "Here goes again one of this threads" Seriosly, this type of things aren't suposed to be talked about on a forum, THIS SHOULD BE THE FIRST CLUE ABOUT IT TO BE FAKE, normally when you run on these types of situations, the last thing you ever think about is to post it on a forum... for example, I had a appendicitis surgery a month ago and I'm still recovering, the last thing I ever thought about was to warn my staff crew (I am a staff member of a 3DS related forum) the first thing that came to my head where my family and friends, then my job and the school.

I don't mean to be some kind of dramatic or something similar, just putting my grain of salt for your reassons of doubt... Because all of this threads result in a failed attempt to become the center of atention.

Well... I haven't ever seen anything like this...
So if it's a scam I'll remember this as a example :/
And unfortunately it indeed seems to be the case.....

Having said that.
I too have to "applaud" (can't think of a better word atm...) The members I have seen in the "condition" thread, for their caring comments and actions, as I would have expected a high amount of flamers and trolls, but those didn't come.

Also thanks P1ng, for making this thread to explain things.

Wait. I'm confused. That circled post says online at June 13, 2013. Wasn't that before Xuphor went to the hospital?

This is one pretty fucked up situation.

It would be a mighty shame if it turned out to be one big sham. Especially at how great the temp responded to it.

And now if someone does genuinely get sick, can anybody blame the forum for calling them out and saying they're lying?

 

[Schizoanalysis]

The kind of person who does this sort of thing simply uses others as objects of their own perverse enjoyment, and the more you get caught up in it, the greater their enjoyment.

The best thing to do is just to ignore them, and thus, to give them no further enjoyment.

 

[the_randomizer]

As tempted as some of are to flame her PM box, what good would it do? I would make me no better than this sister of Xuphor. This was a very damnable thing to do.

He's talking about confirming it as Xuphors account, as she asked if Tom Bombadil was me.

Also, it shows her being Online right now...so...

 

[Issac]

If this is a hoax, it could as well be a so called "social experiment", or "art", or a project on psychology or something.
Also, mods and admins would be able to tell if Xuph has been online I'd guess? So (s)he wouldn't be able to read this without anyone noticing....? (oh wait... as a guest perhaps! Hmm , then only her IP would tell).

Well yeah it's Xuphor's account. But if it she just posted that, wouldn't it say online? Or was the screenshot just taken a few minutes ago?

nvm, I just looked, said that funnyjunk account was last logged in today.
