G-Zay/A response by G-Zay

Seeing as people may believe what was written about me on the G-Zay page without questioning it, I'll provide my response to it here. The G-Zay page is filled with so much misinformation and untrue bullshit, I have to at least provide my side of the story for those that stumble upon it. Also know that the G-Zay page was written as part of a ongoing war between the users of GameFAQs and NeoGAF. This feud has been going for for at least half a decade, and the person who wrote the G-Zay article is a moderator on NeoGAF, while I'm a veteran user of GameFAQs.

Who created the G-Zay page on Encyclopedia Dramatica

This is the most interesting matter for me. Who would waste dozens of hours reading my entire forum posting history since 2005 in order to try and uncover every single aspect of who I am as a person? Why would such an individual engage in basically cyber stalking me in order to create this satirical article? I'll answer both questions.

Who created the page?

The person who created this G-Zay article is duckroll, a weeaboo otaku from Singapore. Although he's currently 32 years old (born December 17, 1981), he's unemployed and spends his days watching anime and playing video games (mainly JRPGs). When not engaged in either of these two hobbies, he's either online discussing anime and video games on NeoFAG, or just masturbating to CP and lolicon hentai for hours on end.

This is the only photo of duckroll available online. It was taken in July 2008, just before Metal Gear Solid 4 released. Even in this shot, he's deliberately cropped his face. He attempts to keep all details about himself and his appearance secret.

Unfortunately, he's also a moderator on NeoGAF, and this high rank position has led to him becoming deluded with his intelligence. He believes he's the most insightful and knowledgeable member with regards to Squre Enix and Final Fantasy info. However, this is a complete farce as he's been embarrassingly wrong with his statements and predictions on multiple occasions. He really just comes off as arrogant and extremely unprofessional in both his posting and how he thinks he's the No. 1 authority on Japanese gaming news.

This is a print screen of duckroll making a thread about the new Sailor Moon anime. His avatar has been the same for almost 2 years. How can an unemployed 32 year old heterosexual man with an avatar like that and also a fondness for Sailor Moon not be a closet pedophile?

Want to know more about the elusive duckroll? Well, unfortunately there isn't much else to tell, as he keeps all info about himself off the internet. Nobody knows his real name, where in Singapore he lives, or has even viewed a full shot of his face. This is all likely due to fear of his location and enormous amount of CP being discovered. The man is trying to keep secret because he has obscene things in his possession that he wants to hide.

That said, you can find duckroll on Twitter @duckroll, on Steam Community with the profile real_duckroll, and on NeoGAF with the profile duckroll.

Why would he waste dozens of hours reading your entire post history and make this page?

Other than the fact that he's unemployed and therefore has a ridiculous amount of free time, there are four main reasons he made this page:

1. He views me as a threat to his reputation as the most insightful user about Final Fantasy personnel on the internet. This is also tied to a rivalry between the dedicated forum users of GameFAQs and NeoGAF.
2. He's jealous of the potential impact of my Zodiac Brave Theory and how it may surpass his Squall's Dead Theory. As a result, he wants to discredit my name on the internet before I get my Zodiac Brave Theory released, therefore dampening people's response to it.
3. He doesn't like how I'm a potentially bigger Yasumi Matsuno fan than he is. It doesn't help that Yasumi Matsuno has responded to several of my tweets, but ignored all of his.
4. He hates Hiroyuki Ito and adores Yoshinori Kitase. Seeing as I'm the polar opposite and have been spreading the word about how great Hiroyuki Ito is and how he should take over the FF series from Yoshinori Kitase, he doesn't like it and wants me silenced. He's also upset about my libellous edits on Hiroyuki Ito's page on Wikipedia and how they made readers begin to want Hiroyuki Ito leading the FF series instead of Yoshinori Kitase.

Those are the four main reasons. I'll explain them each more in-depth below:

Reason 1

That duckroll views me as a threat to his authority as the most insightful and knowledgeable user on Final Fantasy personnel.

This reason was easy to identify. If you’ve read any of duckroll’s posts on NeoGAF about Final Fantasy personnel, you’ll quickly notice that he says almost all his statements as facts, even despite him not having no ties whatsoever with the inner workings of Square Enix Japan. There is a limit to how much knowledge some unemployed otaku that posts on the internet 24/7 can gain. Yet, despite this, duckroll thinks he knows fucking everything about Square Enix and its personnel. It’s ridiculous and even more ridiculous is that the many NeoGAF users actually believe everything he says it true. However, the respect and believability he’s gained amongst the NeoGAF community has gone to his head and overinflated his ego; he know feels like he’s the ultimate authority on info regarding Square Enix staff. However, considering I began also gaining a following on GameFAQs for the same reasons, he began to take notice and began to see me as an upcoming rival. It doesn’t help that there has been a longstanding feud between the dedicated community of GameFAQs and NeoGAF, too.

However, in recent times, I’ve been proven to right about certain points, while duckroll has been proven wrong. These have almost exclusively been in the field of the happenings of the FFXII team and what they’re currently doing.

Back in July 2009, duckroll made the following statement:

	“	Ito has no "team". He works on pretty much every FF game in some capacity, and the last game he worked on extensively was FFIV DS. The rest of the FFXII team are kinda spread out, but a number of them worked on Last Remnant, while Yoshida has been working on FFXIV and 4WoL. Minagawa has most likely left the company along with Matsuno, since we've heard or seen nothing from him since FFXII	„

The above quote was more wrong than right. Shinji Hashimoto confirmed in July 2013 that Ito had been planning and proposing ideas for a new project for years. Yoshinori Kitase confirmed in February 2014 that Ito does indeed have his own team and had been busy leading his own big project for years. Therefore, duckroll’s statement about Hiroyuki Ito was wrong . Not only that, duckroll claimed that Hiroshi Minagawa had left Square Enix. This was also absolutely false, as Hiroshi Minagawa was still at the company and directing Tactics Ogre for PSP behind the scenes. Hiroshi Minagawa is now currently working as UI Director of FFXIV: A Realm Reborn.

What’s interesting is that around the time duckroll was making these false statements, I had already begun spreading the word about how Hiroyuki Ito should lead the FF series and was probably secretly working on a mainline FF to be released in the near future. Seeing as duckroll has seen that I’ve been more correct than he has regarding this, he has begun to see me as a threat to his position as being seen as the most insightful person online with regards to info on Square Enix staff.

Reason 2

That duckroll is jealous of the potential impact of my Zodiac Brave Theory and how it may surpass his Squall's Dead Theory.

Another reason that was easy for me to identify. As of writing this, there’s only one Final Fantasy theory that has had a major impact on gamers. I’m referring to the Squall’s Dead Theory. The website for the theory has a comment section with almost 3000 replies. Want to know you conceived the theory? It was duckroll.

As you can see in this print screen, it’s clearly stated on the Squall’s Dead website that duckroll conceived the theory

I’m the writer of the Zodiac Brave Theory and have been claiming it to be really groundbreaking on GameFAQs. After reading this, duckroll is now scared that my theory will surpass the impact of his own Squall’s Dead theory. As a result, he wants to discredit my name on the internet and damage my public image, which is why he made this G-Zay page on Encyclopedia Drammatica. By doing this, he attempts to get people to see me in a negative light and therefore dampen people’s response to my theory when I get it released.

Reason 3

That duckroll doesn't like how I'm a potentially bigger Yasumi Matsuno fan than he is.

This is something that’s tied to duckroll’s overinflated ego. Upon discovering that I was writing a groundbreaking theory that could potentially surpass his own, he began paying an obsessive amount of attention to me by cyber stalking me on GameFAQs and Twitter by lurking and reading all my posts and tweets.

I became aware duckroll was cyber stalking me in September 2013, and an incident occurred in that month and the following month that made him dislike me even more.

In September 2013, I tweeted Yasumi Matsuno asking him if he’d write the script for FFXVI if it was being directed by Hiroyuki Ito. He responded to my tweet saying that he couldn’t answer the question due to certain reservation. Two days later, duckroll tweeted Matsuno asking him if he’s work on another Final Fantasy if Square Enix asked him to. Mtasuno never replied to duckroll’s tweet. Duckroll left the tweet on his twitter feed for a whole week before finally deleting it due to getting no response. I wish I’d taken a print screen of the tweet at the time.

Then in October 2013, I tweeted Yasumi Matsuno on his birthday with a congratulations message. Matsuno replied saying thanks so much and he’d try to live up to my expectations. I’m certain that duckroll saw this exchange and it only fuelled his dislike for me even more.

Reason 4

That duckroll hates Hiroyuki Ito and adores Yoshinori Kitase.

He’s a big fan Yoshinori Kitase, yet dislikes Hiroyuki Ito. This is the polar opposite to me. Not only that, but duckroll actually liked Final Fantasy XIII, which is regarded as one of the worst 3D mainline FF games. Seeing as I’ve been spreading the word about how great Hiroyuki Ito is and how he should take over the FF series from Yoshinori Kitase, duckroll doesn't like it and wants me silenced.

A print screen of the comment I left on duckroll’s Wikipedia Talk Page after he got me banned, which he quickly deleted less than 12 hours later.

I made my agenda on Wikipedia regarding Hiroyuki Ito clear to him on his talk page. However, he quickly reverted the comment, even though reverting talk page comments are disallowed. He basically doesn’t want Hiroyuki Ito to replace Yoshinori Kitase and doesn’t like how I’ve been advocating for it to happen. His efforts to counteract my agenda are too late though, as I’ve already assisted in making many people want Hiroyuki Ito leading the FF series due to them being disappointed with Kitase’s work on Final Fantasy XIII.

My response to the G-Zay article by duckroll

Now that people know the type of individual duckroll is and his motive in creating the G-Zay article, I'll now provide my response to it.

The basics

Firstly I no longer edit Wikipedia. I haven't edited since last year, so therefore I can't be labelled a Wikipedophile. I'm also not a troll, but the word is thrown around so much online these days that almost everybody is called a troll at one point or another. You disagree with somebody’s opinion on an issue? You're called a troll; that’s how widespread the use of that word has become.

Secondly, Galvin Okoye is not my powerword. I have never revealed my powerword online except for in important accounts. That petition I made back in 2005 is using an alias I made up, as I didn't want everybody that replied to the petition to see my real name. I tried to make an alias that sounded real, but barely anybody wold go by in real life. Galvin is a Gaelic surname; it's never used as a first name. I just chose that name because it sounded similar to "Galvatron", which is a nickname I go by IRL due loving Transformers when a child. The surname Okoye is one taken from some random guy that went to my high school.

Thirdly, I don't use more than one account at a time on GameFAQs. This is one of many lies by duckroll that fill out the article.

Fourth, seeing as duckroll believes me to be a pathological liar, why is he taking anything I say online seriously? Also, he's especially idiotic for believing that posts I made on [www.finalfantasy-xiii.net/forums/ FinalFantasy-XIII.net] back in circa 2008/2009 were me being open and honest. That was a joke account I made to kill time and laugh at people's responses to my wild posts. Nothing I said on that forum was ever me being serious. All I posted was lies, hyperbole, and trolling posts/threads. I was basically pretending to be somebody else on that forum so as to get a kick out of people’s responses, as they always replied to me thinking I was being serious. Looking back, it still makes me laugh at how stupidly gullible some people view others on the internet. Not everybody online is who they say they are. I had a GameFAQs account active back then and it was there where I was being serious. If you compared my posts on both forums, you wouldn’t even think it's the same poster. Lastly, the obvious proof that it was joke account is in the username. My accounts where I was serious always went by the name "Galvanizer", but the account on FinalFantasy-XIII.net was called GalvanizA. The use of a capital 'A' at the end should tell you that there was something different about this account compared to the others.

Fifth, I'm not unemployed. That's another lie invented by duckroll. Also, I knew how to use proxies long before I started editing Wikipedia.

The situation on Wikipedia

I'm not going to waste time on this point. My editing on Wikipedia ended in April 2013 due to duckroll filing a report against me with his Wikipedia account Xiomicronpi. I made a public apology for my actions on the administrator’s board and left, and haven't touched an article on Wikipedia since. However, somebody else was going around editing pages in the guise of myself and I was being accused of being responsible. Regardless, I know I don't edit Wikipedia anymore and have stayed true to my public apology and statement I was leaving. Whatever other bullshit is still happening there is not my concern or responsibility. However, seeing as duckroll is so paranoid that I'll return, he will revert any edit that looks like it was made by me on sight, even making sure the new user accounts that make these edits get banned in the process. There's even times he will himself edit a page using a proxy and then he'll revert the edit with his Xiomicronpi account and say that the edit was by a G-Zay sockpuppet.

There's a long line of IP addresses and accounts that have been banned since April 2013 due to being believed to be my sockpuppets. The irony is that none of these are even my sockpuppets. It seems that even though I've left Wikpedia, duckroll is trying to make it seem like I still run rampant over there. Whatever bullshit he's pulling on Wikipedia doesn't concern me, and that includes his false accusations of my sockpuppetry.

Lies about Hiroyuki Ito

I don't tell any lies about Hiroyuki Ito on GameFAQs, IGN, or VGChartz. The threads I make are all legit and with sources. Secondly, I'm not this huge Hiroyuki Ito fan that duckroll is trying to present me as. The only reason I want Hiroyuki Ito back as the director of another mainline FF game is because he's the only person still at Square Enix that will make the game evolve off the game design and battle system used in FFXII. It's not rocket science. If you like the gameplay of one video game and want to see another video game like it, your best bet is that the director and game designer of the game you love will reprise the same roles again on another game.

As a result of wanting to find out if Hiroyuki Ito will ever direct another mainline FF game, I have attended events in London that various Final Fantasy staff were making appearances at. When given the opportunity, I'd always ask about Hiroyuki Ito, just to uncover any info that may suggest he'll return to direct another mainline FF game. There's nothing wrong with that. It's better to have a small amount of info than be in dark for years on end. The last FF game Hiroyuki Ito worked on was released in 2007, which is ages ago. It's reasonable to want to know what's he's currently doing and if he'll return to the FF series.

Pathological lies and pedophilia

Both these accusations are bullshit because 98% of duckroll's sources for his claims come from my FinalFantasyXIII.net GalvanizA account, which I've already explained was a joke account I created to make shocking posts to troll people. Nothing I ever said on that forum was ever me being serious. I kept the serious me on GameFAQs, which I was posting on concurrently at the time. The GalvanizA account was just me messing around.

Even on my IGN account, I made it clear I was trolling on the rare occurrence that I made an obscene post. I say a lot of BS online on all my form accounts, but I make it clear when I'm just trolling and fucking people over. I never say something outright grotesque or obscene and actually mean it, because I know I'm not that character. If I was, why would I even say it? People really like that would keep their hidden vices to themselves. For example, no pedophile is going to go out on a forum and announce he finds little girls attractive. That would be crazy and like shooting themselves in the foot. It just would never happen. Therefore, the only reason I was able to openly go out of my way to make such a claim is because I knew it wasn't true and I was just joking around and trolling people. I have no CP on my computer and thankfully these eyes have never seen CP photos or videos before.

The following quotes from me on IGN explain my stance best:

	“	LMAO! :D People take personas on the internet way, way too seriously. Everything I've just typed is complete BS but I just enjoy lying on the internet. Don't take the **** I type so seriously, it's just for the thrill of typing BS about myself and having people fall for it. I'm the definition of an internet social troll. The only thing true about what I've said in this topic is that I want Agitha in ZWii with more goth loli dresses. The rest is BS but it's just too easy and fun to lie on the internet. Nothing personal against IGN, I lie on every forum I'm a member of. I keep the real me offline.	„
	—Galvanizer on IGN

	“	I'm not ugly; I just don't really care about sex. I’m not even a virgin but I sort of wish I still was as being a virgin is kinda cool, IMO. For me, the internet is a place where you can type any random **** and not worry about anyone physically beating you over the head about it. That's what I love about it and I take that liberty and use it to the extreme for fun. It's the feeling of typing some made up **** and people actually believing it that I love about the internet.	„
	—Galvanizer on IGN

I can't summarise how I operated on internet forums any clearer than that.

Other fetishes

Again, duckroll is using my FinalFantasyXIII.net GalvanizA account as the main source for his accusations. I've already covered why this source is invalid.

The playlist on Dailymotion doesn't exist.

I have no fetishes. I actually have very low sex drive. I touched upon this in the IGN quote above. The only thing I have that comes close to a fetish is liking PAWGs, but then every nigga is sexually attracted to PAWGs, so I wouldn't call it a fetish.

Zodiac Brave Theory

I'm not trolling. The theory exists and will release in the near future.

More Lulz

Again, duckroll is using my FinalFantasyXIII.net GalvanizA account as the source of his accusations. This source is invalid as it was a joke account.

Conclusion

The info on the page is misinformed. All that can be gained from it is that duckroll trying to damage my reputation out of jealousy and spite. I honestly can't be bothered to make a slandering article about him on here, so I'll just leave this response on the talk page for those that want to read my side of the story and know why this G-Zay page was even created.

Having said that, the fact the G-Zay page even got created is proof that I’ve been trolled. I had already retired from trolling long before this page was created, but this page being made has solidified my stance that I will never return to trolling ever again. It just isn't worth it. Me, a once notorious internet troll, has finally had his past catch up with him. I've learned from my mistakes.
