A notorious ninja-looter in World of Warcraft on the Scarlet Crusade server.

Terminology

Ra•hurm [Ray-herm]

A term used to denote a ninja-looter, the act of ninja-looting, or having been a victim of ninja-looting.

Ex. "Don't group with him, he's a Rahurm", "Dude did he just rahurm?" or "WOW! I cant believe we just got rahurmed!"

Rahurm can also be used to describe threatening someone with grevious bodily harm after being exposed as a liar, cheat or fool; typically when faced with insurmountable and undeniable evidence.

History

The term Rahurm started from a journey to the dungeon of Upper Blackrock Spire. After downing Rend Blackhand the body was looted. What laid before them was the Dal'Rend's Sacred Charge. The now legendary Rahurm talked the group into passing then doing a 1-100 Roll for the item. But his plan was already set into stone. After the rolls were completed he looted the item and disconnected from the server.

When Rahurm did return online he began bragging about his new (stolen) sword in the game's chat channels. This angered the other players that were in the group at the time and arguments broke out in which Rahurm was accused of being a ninja-looter. Rahurm claimed that his brother was in control of his in-game character when the ninjaing occured thereby freeing him from blame (this was later revealed to be a lie, admitted by Rahurm himself).

Shortly after the event, a thread was created in the Scarlet Crusade realm forums by Torant entitled "Rahurm =Ninja Looter! with Cool How-to Guide" informing others of Rahurm's actions. The thread grew quickly spurred on mostly by Rahurm's juvenile responses teeming with poor grammar and hollow threats of violence.

The original thread can be found here: [1]

Highlights include:

"Lol hey torant you idiot your the stupid ass that didnt ML it and my brother thinks your rules are crap need if u need lol you dont need BoP's Moron and my brother laughs at you when he see's you walking around on WoW and hey if u dont ML in a PuG u deserve to get ninjaed upon you ass"

"Mat you speak to truth man there a bunch of %*#! heads who need to be put in there place by kicking there ass's and i didnt know you lived in Australia thats cool and yea come on people learn to respect ppl ffs you never know if that SS is edited or not im FFS if you have @!*# to say say it to me and leave guilds outta this you dumb %*#!s"

"Alright Cidius if you wanna say *#!* come say it to me face in Australia and you will know them eaning of pain you lil @sshole"

It should be noted that Rahurm later deleted his more incriminatory posts (particularly posts # 23, 46, 48 and 127). However, this served only to worsen his image as he had effectively "ninjaed" his own posts.

The Gospel

Rahurm's actions and posts were so infamous they grew into a mock MMORPG religion centered around selfishness, lies and greed.

The Creed of Greed

For Dal Rend so loved Azeroth that he gave his one and only Sacred Charge, so that whoever rolled badly on it, shall not lose, but ninja it, and live forever on the forums.

Yea, though I walk through the Upper Blackrock Spire, I will fear no Rahurm: for thy phat lewts are mine; thy rod and thy staff those are mine too. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with lewts; my cup runneth over. Surely brakeing ur arm, nose or jaw will spare me thine accusations: and I will dwell in the house of Rahurm for ever.

The Apology

Rahurm was eventually picked up by a few guilds, each of which kicked him once they found out the details of his thievery. One guild, The Rage Within, took him in and attempted to defend him. This served only to tarnish the guild's image since Rahurm's attitude concerning his actions remained unchanged. It was stated that if Rahurm was truly sorry for his actions he would apologize and make reparations to those he had stolen from. Rahurm soon posted an apology:

Hello there everyone

Look dont blame the rage within for taking me in. Gurthick wanted to give me a chance and he did and i really appreciate him for doing that. So please stop giving people in rage within %#%* for what i did Now here is my appoligie. To all those in the UBRS group i ninjaed from and all the people making fun of me im sorry for what i did but its really a simple blue that drops all the time. I did what i did because i got sick of losing the roll to everyone else so i just took it without thinking i know i shouldnt have done it i know its wrong and yes i am sorry for what i did and i will never do it again and paying everyone in the group is hard for me considering i have about 2g to my name if i had more i would pay them but i cant. So please just leave me and the rage within alone 17 pages on this forum is just to much yes i know some bits were funny and bits got me really really mad so once i again i appoligize for what i did and ill never do it again.

This half-hearted and blatantly insincere apology did not go over well with the Scarlet Crusade community and served to plunge Rahurm's already horrible reputation even lower. When members of the community did not accept Rahurm's apology the ninja responded:

Well think what you think im over this thread and i made my appoligie and yea i did what i was told to do so i did it end of story please just leave me and rage within alone im sick of this

This post verified that Rahurm was only apologizing under the pressure of his new guild and that he remained apathetic to the theft. To date, Rahurm has made no effort of his own to repay those in the fated UBRS group.
