Opt Out (Beat It) The immortal Michael Jackson

.

They told us, “Don’t you ever come around here”
“You can’t afford to play, better disappear”
The greed is in their eyes and their intentions very clear
So opt out, just opt out

You better run, you better do what you can
Don’t wanna waste your money just to lose again
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So opt out… but you wanna beat them!

Just opt out (opt out), opt out (opt out)
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter, money wins, right?
Just opt out (opt out)
Just opt out (opt out)
Just opt out (opt out)
Just opt out (opt out, ooh)

They’re out to get you, better flee while you can
Don’t wanna be a newb, you wanna be a veteran
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can
So opt out, just opt out

You have to show them that you’re really not dumb
You’re playin’ with real cash, this ain’t no truth or dare
They’ll kick you, they’ll rob you
Then they’ll tell you it’s fair
So opt out, but you wanna beat them!

Just opt out (opt out), opt out (opt out)
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter, money wins, right…

Just opt out (opt out), opt out (opt out)
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
It doesn’t matter, they’re always right
Just opt out (opt out, opt out, opt out)
Opt out (opt out, opt out)

Opt out, opt out
Opt out, opt out

Opt out, opt out
Opt out, opt out

Beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
No one wants to be defeated
Showin’ how funky and strong is your fight
RNG picks who’s wrong and who’s right

Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
Then the game can be deleted
Showin’ how funky and how rich you are
You’ll spend more money than you would on a car

Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
Then might as well just delete it
Showin’ how funky and strong is your grind
It doesn’t matter, disappointment you’ll find

Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
Honestly you should delete it
Showin’ how funky and how much you care
It doesn’t matter, cuz this game’s not fair

Just beat it (beat it), beat it (beat it)
For your own sake, you should delete it

A long, long time ago
I can still remember how this game
Used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make my alliance dance
And maybe they’d be happy for a while

But February made me shiver
As no summons did deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn’t buy one more step
I can’t remember if I cried
When I read about how SG lied
Something touched me deep inside
The day the game’s fun died

So, bye-bye, Miss Empirical Pie
Took Richard to Atlantis, but Atlantis was dry
And them good ol’ posters were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, “This’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day to say bye”

Did you write the book of greed
And do you have faith in RNG
If Zynga tells you so?
Now, do you believe old seasons should go
Can costumes save your vanilla soul
And can you tell me why my mana is real slow?

Well, I know that you’re obsessed with more
‘Cause I saw you spending in the store
You kicked off and sold your shoes
Just to get those summoning blues
I was a lonely newbie bronckin’ buck
With a Bane, a Prisca, and a Friar Tuck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the game’s fun died

I started singin’, bye-bye, Miss Empirical Pie
Took my Richard to Atlantis, but Atlantis was dry
Them good ol’ posters were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, “This’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day to say bye”

Now, for three years we’ve been on our own
And power creep grows faster than a rollin’ stone
But that’s not how it used to be
When Rigard sang for the king and queen
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And they listened to opinions from you and me

Oh, and while we all were looking down
Zynga stole their thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No money was returned
And while Lenin read a book on Marx
The E&P message was quite stark
Pay more or get left in the dark
The day the game’s fun died

We were singin’, bye-bye, Miss Empirical Pie
Took my Richard to Atlantis, but Atlantis was dry
Them good ol’ posters were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, “This’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day to say bye”

Emblem madness in a summer swelter
The free birds flew off with a fallout shelter
SG’s profits still high but falling fast
Telluria fell foul on the grass
The players tried for a lawsuit pass
While the jesters on the sidelines just laughed

Now, the halftime air was really bad
And lots of players were really mad
We all said we wouldn’t spend
Oh, but most folded in the end
'Cause the upset players took the field
The game defenders refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the game’s fun died?

We started singin’, bye-bye, Miss Empirical Pie
Took my Richard to Atlantis, but Atlantis was dry
Them good ol’ posters were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, “This’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day to say bye”

Oh, and there we were all in one place
A generation lost in space
With no money left to start again
So, come on, Jack be nimble, Jack be quick
Jack O’Hare sat on a candlestick
'Cause fast mana is the META’s only friend

Oh, and as I watched them make a million bucks
While giving all of us zero *****
No angel born in Hell
Could have thought of such OP spells
And as the flames climbed high into the night
Limit breakers, they had no right,
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the game’s fun died

He was singin’, bye-bye, Miss Empirical Pie
Took my Richard to Atlantis, but Atlantis was dry
Them good ol’ posters were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, “This’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day to say bye”

I met a girl who sang the blues
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
I went down to the game Play Store
Where I’d heard there were good games years before
But the man there said that every mobile game makes you pay

And in the streets the children streamed
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
And the game types I’d once loved the most
The Arcade, Console and the MMO’s
They caught the last train from the coast
The day video games died

And they were singin’, bye-bye, Miss Empirical Pie
Took my Richard to Atlantis, but Atlantis was dry
Them good ol’ posters were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, “This’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day to say bye”

They were singin’, bye-bye, Miss Empirical Pie
Took my Richard to Atlantis, but Atlantis was dry
Them good ol’ posters were drinkin’ whiskey and rye
Singin’, “This’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day to say bye”

Hero tribute series.

DANZABURO (OLD MAN SAMSON)

I once met a man (?) he was one of a kind
Spent his life on the board drinking beer
And the story is told, how they ended his life
Such a sad song, drunk in war, my dear

Danzaburo
If you don’t put that bottle down
You will lose all control
When you dance in war bowl
Performing tricks like a stupid sad clown

He drinks drinks drinks and empties his cup
Is he sober yet? (Never!)
He loves to get drunk
So guess how many he can slam
Fills his bottle to the brim
Danzaburo come drinking with Kiril again

Danzaburo
If you’re still acting like a showman
You will lose every fight
On the board you’re no fright
Performing tricks mostly in false moment

Danzaburo
If you don’t put that bottle down
You will lose all control
When you dance in war bowl
Back with Kiril for another round
Danzaburo

TAKE BACK THE POWER

What’s your plan to keep game goin’
You’re F2P mate or will you pay on
Are you a fighter or will you cower
It’s our time to take back the power

What’s your plan to keep game goin’
You’re F2P mate or will you pay on
Are you a fighter or will you cower
It’s our time to take back the power

Whatcha gonna do
When they bring up something new
To the game in brightest hue
And it is just for milking you

Whatcha gonna say
When they strip your hopes away
And SGG makes you pay
For every bead of sweat you bled today

We don’t need to pay and hide
We won’t be pushed, we won’t be quiet

What’s your plan to keep game goin’
You’re F2P mate or will you pay on
Are you a fighter or will you cower
It’s our time to take back the power

Who you gonna trust
When RNG is so unjust
And the whales just discuss
Say you don’t pay like one of us

Where you gonna turn
With the lessons that you learned
And the hopes that have been burned
Are more than all the things that you have earned

We don’t need to pay and hide
We won’t be pushed, we won’t be quiet

What’s your plan to keep game goin’
You’re F2P mate or will you pay on
Are you a fighter or will you cower
It’s our time to take back the power

What’s your plan to keep game goin’
You’re F2P mate or will you pay on
Are you a fighter or will you cower
It’s our time to take back the power

We don’t need to pay and hide
We won’t be pushed, we won’t be quiet

What’s your plan to keep game goin’
You’re F2P mate or will you pay on
Are you a fighter or will you cower
It’s our time to take back the power

What’s your plan to keep game goin’
You’re F2P mate or will you pay on
Are you a fighter or will you cower
It’s our time to take back the power

What’s your plan to keep game goin’
You’re F2P mate or will you pay on
Are you a fighter or will you cower
It’s our time to take back the power

It’s our time to take back the power
It’s our time to take back the power

When the moon’s a rising
Behind clouds it’s hiding
And just the glow of my screen lights up the room
I hear the voice of gone members
The ones we loved and lost some times ago
Forum remember me

Well it’s hard to believe I know
But I hear them speaking
in the croak of my speaker
Floating in my room here way above me

Forum remember me
Yes we’ll always remember
Till the day we die
We’ll hear their cry
Forum remember me

Well some day I guess
There’ll be some new helpers ‘n’ critics here
To take the place of those who went
But as long as I live I know
I’ll hear them whisp’ring in the threads of the forum
they shared all their knowledge, none in return
Forum remember me

Yes we’ll always remember
Till the day we die
We’ll hear their cry
Forum remember me

It’s strange how shocked you can be at the fate of someone you hardly knew.
I’ve had this one in my mind for a long time, now it’s done…

TGW, I HARDLY KNEW YA

Lately in forum I heard them cry, oh lord, oh lord
Lately in forum I heard them cry, oh lord, oh lord
Lately in forum I heard them cry
My phone in the hand, a drop in the eye
I couldn’t believe, had to cry
Buddy I hardly knew ya

Where is the voice that hits so hard, oh my, oh my
Where is the voice that hits so hard, oh my, oh my
Where is the voice that hits so hard
You never stopped to hit them hard
For the F2Ps you were a guard
Buddy I hardly knew ya

We had fun and songs and fun and songs, hooray, hooray
We had fun and songs and fun and songs, hooray, hooray
We had fun and songs and fun and songs
The game and odds never screw ya
Buddy I hardly knew ya

Where is the hand, the helping one, so far, so far
Where is the hand, the helping one, so far, so far
Where is the hand, the helping one
You gave a hand to everyone
And in return you expected none
Buddy I hardly knew ya

We had fun and songs and fun and songs, hooray, hooray
We had fun and songs and fun and songs, hooray, hooray
We had fun and songs and fun and songs
The game and odds never screw ya
Buddy I hardly knew ya

Outside forum I don’t know you, so sad, so sad
Outside forum I don’t know you, so sad, so sad
Outside forum I don’t know you
But I know for sure when clouds went through
For your family you made skies blue
Buddy I hardly knew ya

We had fun and songs and fun and songs, hooray, hooray
We had fun and songs and fun and songs, hooray, hooray
We had fun and songs and fun and songs
The game and odds never screw ya
Buddy I hardly knew ya

I’m happy for to see forum, bow down, bow down
I’m happy for to see forum, bow down, bow down
I’m happy for to see forum,
in reverence bowing down
Buddy I hardly knew ya

We had fun and songs and fun and songs, hooray, hooray
We had fun and songs and fun and songs, hooray, hooray
We had fun and songs and fun and songs
The game and odds never screw ya

I was going to make the lyrics TGW-centric, but I couldn’t. So, I’ll do something else in his honor…

“Waiting For Valhalla Coins”

I’m farming Valhalla, the gnomes don’t show
I’ve been burning flasks now, used up a dozen

I think, “Yeah, gnomes are coming, just a little bit rare.
Maybe SG forgot to turn them on again
I’m just watching the mobs spawn, and they’re all Aegirs
Like what the bleep
And I cry, oh the way I cry

I’m hoping for Almur,
Pining for Mist
Making a wish on RNG
I’m missing Gullinbursti
Pulled Jarvur again
Waiting for coins to just show up
So I can pull, yeah, so I can pull, yeah
Waiting for Valhalla coins

I’m farming 9-8 trying to catch a glimpse
Nothing’s making sense
I’ve been chasing the gnomes, but they don’t show up
This bleeping sucks

I say, "Yeah, they’re still coming, just a little bit late.
Maybe RNG just hates me, but good luck should come
I say, “If E&P was a movie, then it wouldn’t end like this,
Left without a pull.”
Still, I farm, oh, heck yes I farm, yeah

I’m hoping for Grevle,
Not even a 5
Making a wish on a shooting star
I’m auto farming during work,
I’m falling apart
Waiting for gnomes to just show up
RNG, yeah, oh RNG yeah
I’m waiting for gnomes dang it…

…to just show up and give me summon luck
Show me love, and finally get Almur
Save me now before the Mythic Titan kills me
Oh, at the speed of light
And I cry

I’m slamming my phone down
Hitting my head
Cursing at my luck, it’s just so bad
I’m cursing my summons
My thirteenth Surdi
Hoping for Almur to just show up
In my bench, yeah, in my bench, yeah
I’m waiting for some good luck…

…to lift me up and fill my bench with them
Show me love, oh, I’ve been farming hard
Save me now before I go nuts tonight
I’m waiting for those darned gnomes

Do it your way and he would have loved it. Anyway, I love it because it’s so true. I just finished S3 hard. No more expectations of valhalla coins.
