Did Deagle Nation give you feels? -

[Blueberry]

So I will be the first to admit that I was pranked by our Commander. I believed in everything. There were a few times were I would raise a eyebrow and become skeptical, but I would just be sucked back in with every new stream and strap back in for the ride . There were many times when I thought to myself "Holy shit, Jace is fucking crazy!" and then laugh about it. Recently, after Jace was in a car wreck in a attempt to street race Brianna Wu, I really thought he had gone off the deep end. Then after the Reuben interview and Christ Zone stream I was absolutely horrified. I actually thought Gail was a crazy Jesus nut who would go as far as cover up her son's dangerous behavior. I actually thought she was serious about foreign food making people gay. I had to stop and think "Holy shit, Jace's mom is fucking crazy!" It kind of seemed similar to the Chris and Barbara Chandler mother/son relationship, but the difference was Jace seemed far more credible as a danger, and Gail far more susceptible to enabling her sons outbursts. Even in parallel with Chris's GameStop Pepper Spray incident I kept thinking that it was only a matter of time until Jace was arrested, hurt or killed in similar fashion. I was honestly concerned about the Jace/Gail dynamic. I was relieved to find out it was all a in the end. Now I wonder if I am a terrible person because I decided not to do anything about it but watch Jace & Co. possibly destroy themselves for my viewing pleasure. I was wondering what the other true believers of Deagle Nation thought and felt for the past two and a half years.

tl;dr
I was trolled by Deagle Nation and I am wondering if anyone else got trolled too.

At first I was very skeptical, and even posted a thread about the furry porn theory and how that might have been cause for Jace being a ruseman. But that was shot down, @THE WRITER (goddamn you master ruseman motherfucker) even had a lengthy response to it which made sense to me at the time. After that I figured "ok, if all of these people really think that this is real, it must be". I continued to follow along, happy with the content either way.

I am both happy and sad to see that this was all masterful trolling. I am in awe honestly.

I got alot of genuine feels during the Christmas fundraiser stream when Jace started crying cause he could afford to get Eli his Xbox One

i got a feel in my pants reading this thread

owned

 

[FramerGirl420]

I think everyone knows the answer for me.
I got all the feels~

 

[dabluearmedbandit]

The Christ Zone stream, I was so worried Jace was in a cult and I felt so bad for how much Gail had fucked him up. It was Barb level trauma she was causing, dude.

 

[DeagleDad420]

im clinically addicted to posting one liners like the one above but that aside im glad people could appreciate the drama and intrigue as well as the jokes

To be honest I was really pleasantly surprised and kinda blown away reading a few comments after the reveal telling me stuff like "hey man you really helped give me something entertaining and it helped me get through a dark time in my life" so there's that.

One really memorable one, probably the most of all, happened when me and Robert called up Ivan Komarov on Skype the very same day he found out that he'd been trolling a figment of my imagination for like 2 years... kinda expected him to be mad or something but he was such a fucking bro about it he just said "thank you for all this" and that caught me off guard, sorta a turning point of making me realise how much other people cherish the retarded stunts I do for my own twisted amusement so that's nice.

I went out of my way to take a photo of the christmas tree in city square with a big banner saying 'Melbourne' to show Jace that Christmas in Australia was safe after the Lindt Cafe terrorism because I thought he was genuinely worried.

I felt bad when the Commander was all alone on Thanksgiving eating Ramen. All throughout, I was legit worried about whether he would ever get proper counseling or medication. Jace was always an enormously likeable character despite having so many atrocious qualities.



Commander Stryker taught me how to respect wolves; he taught me how to respect myself.

Ya. I was constantly worried about Jace dammit.

 

[The Knife's Husbando]

I'll freely admit it. I swam up to the bait, chomped it down, and got hauled along for the ride.

I raged. I laughed. I was honestly concerned. Much feels in about every direction.

...and in the end I find out it was an magnum opus of performance-art trolling. Am I mad? Not a bit. If you can't laugh at being pranked, you can't prank. Quid pro Lol.

 

[Cumuppance]

There was always something in the back of my mind screaming "It's all a show" but something inside me wanted to believe that Jace was a real nutjob and that Tyce really did care for the skeltins. I think it's probably because we're all suffering from good quality lolcow withdrawal after CWC became boring as shit.

 

[Godot]

Yeah it gave me major feels. I was going through a pretty dark time for a couple months and I started to hate everything I once liked.

The one thing that I still enjoyed though was pressing 1 with you guys and enjoying a live stream. Deagle nations antics kept me hanging on. I know that might sound overly dramatic or stupid as fuck but it's true, I can't tell you the amount of times I would go and read the wiki because I was feeling down, and then before I knew it I'd be laughing.

I also felt a strong connection to the commander and even tyce despite how much of a fucker he was. I felt they were both a product of their circumstances. My brother has some mental illness similar to what I figured jace had so that made me feel almost protective of him or something, I would get really mad at people trolling him and I white knighted the shit out of him during Wupocalypse when all those click bait sites were trying to paint him as dangerous. I guess what I'm trying to say is I got and I loved every second of it.

Thanks a lot Jan and Robert and everyone else involved

I think everyone who bought into it kind of wavered between belief and disbelief all the way through. Kiwis who've followed CWC can kind of get the idea that there's this crazy guy out there, but to have three lolcows all at the same place and time seemed like a crazy statistical fluke. The Prius crash seemed legit to me, but then Christ Zone really gave me serious doubts bc there's no way anyone could be as out there as Gail. I was like 60% sure it was real at the end.

Reality is quantifiable, and measurable. Madness isn't.

And that was some of the beauty of Deagle Nation. It had an over-the-top refuge in audacity that made it plausible.

 

[Wolf Appreciator]

I don't want to sperg too much about this but the end of Tupacalypse and the stuff around the forest duel came at a time when I was really in need of a fun, fast-moving distraction to help me finish the fight, so all irony aside I am legitimately extremely grateful to Jan, Robert and [Eli] for doing all that stuff.

And to echo what some others have said here, Jace was a great spectacle and I had nothing but fond wishes for him, but in watching him I do have to accept that a lot of the time I was looking at three guys with not much in the way of life prospects humiliating themselves for public amusement. I know this is the sort of moral detachment you need to bring to any lolcow you follow, but still. So to see Jace, Tyce and Gail joking around on the final stream and coming across as pleasant, well-adjusted people, I felt it was genuinely touching, like they'd suddenly become the beneficiaries of some sort of sudden life-improving miracle. Basically Deagle Nation was extremely sick and realistic, is what I'm trying to say.

If you guys went through with that planned video of Tyce playing with matchbox cars on top of his comatose brother's body, I think I might have shed a tear.

During the summer of last year a lot of bad stuff was happening in my life and each Monday at 7 was the highlight of my week. I would just forget about the bullshit and watch the weekly livestreams with my buddies and call in and talk to "Jace" and his friends and it was hilarious. I always believed Jace was for real because I work in a hospital and have taken care of quite a few mentally ill people, including schizophrenics, and Jan managed to get all their mannerisms down PERFECTLY. Like I didn't ever think some random kid could pull off such a convincing depiction of someone suffering from severe mental issues.

Biff "The Deagle" Johnston (who was a mod on the old Deagle Nation forums and a stream moderator on YouTube) and I have literally talked about Deagle Nation every single day since April or May of last year. We're both bummed that it's over but it was great to be part of something special.

I'm also relieved that Jace is just a character and not an actual mentally ill person so I can stop feeling guilty about fucking with him.

 

[Alex Krycek]

When I'd show people Deagle Nation videos and clips of livestreams they'd sometimes start going on about how he needed to be institutionalized or something and I'd just sort of sigh and hope that Jace would just get on some meds. I'd explain that despite being so... unique, that after a while Jace was a legitimately likable person - he just happened to be entertaining on a psychotic level. Tyce on the other hand I may have really disliked, but he was immensely funny and his worldview was so twisted that I just couldn't look away and had to check his twitter at least every couple of days to see if anything new was out. The Tyce stuff got even more reaction from people I know and 'fukobeme' (said as one word, pronounced Fook-oh-beh-me) is a thing said in my group of friends now.

I'd often just sit back and wonder where they'd all be in 5 years. Over a few beers last night I rationalized: Jace, group home. Tyce, prison or 6 feet under. Eli, still living with his parents. Kyle, either a pot farm in Colorado or in some new age cult. Colby, working and glad he got out when he did. I always felt bad, because excluding Tyce they were all likeable people and even in Tyce's case he reminded me of an old friend from school (except racist, using Jenkem, and delusional as hell) so I always had a hope he'd change.

I was surprised to find out it was fake, then went through all of the old Deagle Nation videos, seeing Jan/Jace almost slip with a smile or a laugh during a scream after seeing a dick or gay wolf sex. Now I'm pretty much over it, but so hoping that Jan continues making videos and entertaining us all. Hell, now I can show Deagle Nation to my friends and tell them that it's all just acting instead of having to go into detail about who Jace is. xD
