The birth and death of Jeus Christ?
I'm actually writing up on that one, but didnt think anyone would request it.
It's coming.
Yes, a story that was actually pretty funny that doesn't concern any SP oldbies
We should keep it to things that actually happened.
Oh it happened. And it was hilarious. Note the intentional misspelling.
Remember that time when Hewitt realised all Nish was trying to do was bring back the RTU theead but just lobbying for it in his own way?
Remember the time when every member realized, they were also users like Hewitt, and thus everyone could also make their own RTU if they really wanted to
=============
Here it is: Jeus Christ
It all started on October 2012. The Merge had just happened, RHG was in full swing, and SP Oldbies were causing alot of trouble. There were also alot of evil noobs as well and things weren't as settled down as the current Jeff administration yet.
Suddenly this guy appears.
Meet Jeus Christ. He's...our lord and savior who over the years and because of historical mishaps had his name warped to the supposedly erroneous Jesus Christ we know today. Now gimmick accounts weren't new. There've been about 2 more in the past (Rusty Shackelford from King of the Hill and Rorschach from Watchmen) but this was the first and only time an account remained in-character all throughout his stay. He wasn't intentionally causing trouble. He even tried his hand at animation and respected the rules when he was infracted. But the way he retained his character and how he dealt with other posts was pretty hilarious.
After awhile, he made his 2nd infamous thread:
Ask Jeus and the less famous
Confessions Thread, which as you would expect concerned him answering questions about being Jesus and confessing your sins to boot. He would always post in quotes as "~Jeus Christ" as if condescendingly speaking in the third person as a higher power, and for awhile became a source of further hilarity. He even posted in the Chat Thread on occasion.
And then he did something nobody expected.
He started animating. He even made an RHG. And yes, he made it with god powers and everyone was all "THATS OP" but he was like "But I'm Jeus." and it was legitimately over-the-top funny. You had a guy who didn't mind that he sucked and actually wanted to learn how to animate, all the while retaining his in-character illusion.
He actually made a few spam threads that weren't funny. But he learned.

We loved this guy. And moreso, as I recall (I wasn't a mod yet at this point), it generated ALOT of hatred towards him. Young mod-to-be's who were noobs at the time like Camila and Xero were going all "HES RUINING STICKPAGE. HES RUINING RELIGION. WHY ISNT HE BANNED." to which the mods replied that he was a harmless bloke who had a sense of humor...something Camila wouldn't find until she became Sectional Mod months later.
Unfortunately, this story doesn't end well as a year later on June 2013,
Jeus posted his account details in public, killing off his character. Some idiot took his account and immediately started spamming it, causing a permaban. He was never heard from again nor did he attempt to make a new account.
The spammer even attempted to come back as
Anti-Christ but by then the joke was dead. I even recall he came back as Zeus. Ugh.
Anyways, Jeus was the funniest user during the Merge. If RTU existed in 2012 I'd have put him in the Top 10 or something.
