ARK: Survival Evolved is a true paradise for trolls who want to ruin the fun for others. Some players have brought justice to a troll now – or at least what the self-proclaimed lawmen understand by it.
Stunned and force-fed in the labor camp
That you can seriously ruin other people’s day in ARK is no secret, but one of the great appeals of survival games. Experience shows that this always attracts a lot of trolls: Where other players can have their day spoiled, friends of Schadenfreude are nearby. The tribe of player “Barbaric Seagull” has taken on a particularly stubborn spoilsport and simply locked up the troll “Ricky”.
And that is where the (rather gruesome) fun begins: Of course, Ricky tried to free himself, which is why he hammered his fists against the walls of his prison. This slowly reduced his hitpoints and would eventually lead to death.
This could not be allowed, so Seagull stunned the player just before his demise and forced him to drink blood to regain strength. This game continued for a remarkable 10 hours. During this time, Ricky was also sentenced to craft items that were then distributed to new players.
Mixed reactions to solitary confinement in the wooden jail of the dino MMO Ark
The reactions to this “justice by initiative” are mixed. While some players praise Seagull and his tribe for this approach, others feel the behavior is unreasonably exaggerated and draw comparisons to real life, where such torture would violate every right – so there could be no talk of true “justice”.
Meanwhile, Ricky is back on the streets – and in the same tribe as Seagull. They hang out together in TS and have become friends. Does the Stockholm syndrome also work virtually?
