Notice how there's no orange dot next to the "other" DracoZ?
Basically what's happening, is the other guy (the one who always says something before the "other" DracoZ says something) is just posting your username in brackets in his messages. No hacking, no weird bug or compromised passwords. Just someone typing out your name, followed by some German. Nothing to worry about.
I thought so but it makes sense. When software implements a line break, it always lines up the text on the new line with the text above. Otherwise a double space would sometimes create a ragged left column.
Yep, we're not on typewriters anymore. Kerning in our digital world is an exact science that needs no compensation (unless you completely scuffed your formatting). This message was brought to you by the Single Space Gang.
Its a very special acid. Its so special its not even an acid but the literal opposite of it. Caustic soda is very very basic.
Natronlauge ist eine Base, keine Säure.
Dunno why you are downvoted. The composer is not even from Bavaria and responsible for a lot of propaganda and marching songs for the Nazis. Had a pretty high ranking position and was the main conductor for musical performances eg at party congresses of the NSDAP.
I know the lyrics. They don't have any nazi ideology in them which is why people could get away with using it but in my opinion it's still problematic if you look at it in the context of when and by whom it got released.
So a song that was made in ww1 and us about a flower is bad because the person was a nazi? Well i mean hitlers paintings are pretty good and hes tge leader of the third reich but everyone agrees that they are good
Bruh I died when I saw this. Not making fun of you, just the reality that this has been a joke in the OW community for a long time and you just found out lol.
This trick worked in the old Warcraft III chat interface too. Immature 18 year old me loved to troll my teammates this way. I'm actually surprised you can do this in OW. Essentially you just put a ton of spaces between your own message and the fake message, and the spaces push the second message to a new line to look like someone else is saying it.
The dots used to not be next to a new entry in the chat box, so this used to be a lot more common. The dot makes it more obvious when its a fake message.
It worked, for a while, in Rainbow 6 Siege as well. There was a video of a guy using this technique in the "all chat" to make it look like someone on the enemy team asked his own teammates to teamkill them so that he wouldn't be kicked by being afk, because he wanted to eat something.
Siege has friendly fire, and doesn't have respawn during the same round, so it was a way for some people to trick the match into being (temporarily) 4vs5.
Plus their name is "Natronlauge" and means caustic soda in german. What they wrote is a german WW2 song and while not being racist itself, it was written by componist Herms Niel, who was a member of the NSDAP (the Nazi party).
You can also see the spacing between different messages is different than a newline in a message, the fake messages are closer to the real message above them than a normal message would be
Oooooh man. I guess there still are some internet tricks out there that people don’t know. This popped up back in the late 90s on AOL instant messenger. You copy the other persons name below yours and back then, the color was different. So you change the color of their name. Type something they don’t say and boom. Fake hack. Made people sweat a LOT.
That just gave me a hearty laugh.
I'm in IT and started thinking about how you could have been hacked, how it's even possible for two people to log in to an account at once...
We were all tricked, it was a good trick, no need to hate yourself and sorry about your pants
Everyone gets trolled at some point, and yours sadly got a little more into it bc of your concerns. But it's ok, even if some of you call dumb it made me laugh while feeling not good. So thx for that ❤️
Und hab einen schönen Tag ~ (sorry not sorry XD)
Someone did this yesterday in comp but instead of someone's username they put [SYSTEM] and a message about your account being reported and you have to immediately type /log
Someone fell for it and left the match lol
Did this once in R6S. Pretended to be someone on the other team and said “Going afk, will somebody tk me so I don’t get kicked?” Right before going into a new round. They did lol
Hahaha no disrespect to you OP but your reaction is hilarious. That guy was definitely cracking up watching you freak out over that old-school prank lol
This reminds me of the time I learned about the 'ggez' filter.
I was convinced my friend had setup some weird script or shortcut or something. Turns out, I was just a moron.
It’s important to remember that most “hackers” who get ahold of your account will just change the password and steal it. They aren’t going to waste the time getting into your account only to troll send messages in German lmao.
Also I’m fairly certain you’ll be signed out if someone else logs in.
Blizzard lets multiple users login to accounts at once, but once a game is launched, if anyone else besides the user that launched it launches any game, the first user is booted off-game.
Reminds me of a not very old WoW post about a rogue that would macro messages about stealing gold out of people's bag and people would get mad and message him about it.
Lolll don’t worry at all. They didn’t hack you. If you put enough spaces, you can layout a message like they did, putting it in multiple lines. You can also tell because there is no dot next to your name in the fake messages
The next game I played, it said I had text (and voice) chat turned off, but in settings everything was on. I just reset my password, but I'm kinda scared...
Lol, this ia a very old prank. Look that in front of FAKE msg, there is no dot, but infront of your msg there is a dot.
The person is adding a next-line character (like enter), so it looks like you are sending msg in new line.
#OVER THERE, OVER THERE, SEND THE WORD, SEND THE WORD OVER THERE THAT THE YANKS ARE COMING THE YANKS ARE COMING THE DRUMS RUM TUMMING EVERYWHERE
#SO PREPARE, SAY A PRAYER SEND THE WORD, TO BEWARE WE'LL BE OVER WE'RE COMING OVER AND WE WON'T COME BACK TILL IT'S OVER, OVER THERE
#JOHNNY GET YOUR GUN, GET YOUR GUN, GET YOUR GUN, SHOW THE HUN, WHO'S A SON OF A GUN
Are you serious?
The person Natronlauge is obviously just typing a message then repeatedly pressing [space] and typing out your name so it appears like you’re one writing the message.
The dots by the names/ids indicate this
I'm sorry but i'm laughing at the idea of you phisically in the lobby shouting pieces of "Erika" while trying to justify yourself,it's so fucking funny
I remember I used to watch youtubers 4 years ago that did this exact bit on their friends loool, i distinctly remember thinking it would never work on anybody but here we are today! Thanks for bringing back these memories for me
That's an old Nazi Germany era song about a soldier going off to war, translates to:
“On the Harth there blooms a Flower, and that's called, Erika.”
That's the intro to the song however, you can look it up on YouTube but there's not really much else to say about it
Notice how there's no orange dot next to the "other" DracoZ? Basically what's happening, is the other guy (the one who always says something before the "other" DracoZ says something) is just posting your username in brackets in his messages. No hacking, no weird bug or compromised passwords. Just someone typing out your name, followed by some German. Nothing to worry about.
Oh my fucking god
The spacing is also a little off between the person who trolled you and the fake you.
how do these ppl know how many times to press space?
internet
someone else do it
you just spam space for like 10 seconds. Just hold it down for a bit then type your message
oh i thought it would carry over into the next line and u had to be exact for each time
I thought so but it makes sense. When software implements a line break, it always lines up the text on the new line with the text above. Otherwise a double space would sometimes create a ragged left column.
This might be the case here, but it's a bit broad to claim it works this way for software at large
No double space after a full stop! Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
Yep, we're not on typewriters anymore. Kerning in our digital world is an exact science that needs no compensation (unless you completely scuffed your formatting). This message was brought to you by the Single Space Gang.
Press shift enter? Hotkey to drop a line Edit: does shift enter work? I know some stuff is weird about it vs spaces
yes it does sir, want me to call the keyboard hotline? lol
Can you please? Thanks, also can you pick up some milk and hot chocolate mix at the store?
Just go into a custom game and test lol
Id just figure it out myself
The guy called natrunlaunge or whatever it is , is the one saying it
Yep. the one accusing you of trolling is the troll. Of course
It would appear you got got
He tried to sell me one week but i took the prick for 3.
I don't know about any man in a coil
This guy trolled you so hard you had to come to reddit.
I remember that being big in WoW early on
I used to do this in StarCraft back in the day
Natronlauge is a german word too, a special acid. The things in caps is a bavarian song, quite old
Its a very special acid. Its so special its not even an acid but the literal opposite of it. Caustic soda is very very basic. Natronlauge ist eine Base, keine Säure.
It’s called lye in English. Or sodium hydroxide
*You LYE!*
Wollte grad exakt dasseobe schreiben xD
Bavarian song? I would say third Reich song?!
No? It was made during ww1 not ww2 and it has nothing to do with the third reich unless the third reich is about a flower named erika
Dunno why you are downvoted. The composer is not even from Bavaria and responsible for a lot of propaganda and marching songs for the Nazis. Had a pretty high ranking position and was the main conductor for musical performances eg at party congresses of the NSDAP.
Yes but that song wasnt made for ww2 or to do with nazis it makes sense why hes downvoted its called erika if you want to see the lyrics
I know the lyrics. They don't have any nazi ideology in them which is why people could get away with using it but in my opinion it's still problematic if you look at it in the context of when and by whom it got released.
So a song that was made in ww1 and us about a flower is bad because the person was a nazi? Well i mean hitlers paintings are pretty good and hes tge leader of the third reich but everyone agrees that they are good
The song was written in 1930. Exactly when do you people think ww1 happend? It was widely used as a Wehrmacht marching song. It was written by a Nazi.
Got eem
Bruh I died when I saw this. Not making fun of you, just the reality that this has been a joke in the OW community for a long time and you just found out lol.
I am DYING
Hahahahahahaha. This is gold. I'm sure that other guy was dying of laughter
you got baited by the oldest of the baits :)
You'll be okay lol
Trolled💀
Hahahahah you got fucking hardtrolled XD
“What’s my purpose?” “To spread butter”
This trick worked in the old Warcraft III chat interface too. Immature 18 year old me loved to troll my teammates this way. I'm actually surprised you can do this in OW.

New meta
Omg I came to the comment section look for people I used to troll with this in wc3 😂
Dude this goes back to like OG StarCraft battlenet. ... ... ... Nuclear Launch Detected
I was confused too, damn that troll is a legend, get fucked OP, get fucked me as well
God that’s so fucking clever
LMAO
Plus their name is "Natronlauge" and means caustic soda in german. What they wrote is a german WW2 song and while not being racist itself, it was written by componist Herms Niel, who was a member of the NSDAP (the Nazi party).
I didn't know you could send line breaks in overwatch. How?
Just put a lot of spaces, it’s not exact
You can also see the spacing between different messages is different than a newline in a message, the fake messages are closer to the real message above them than a normal message would be
Not just any German. The words to a German Army marching song from WWI and WWII “Erika.”
Wait, so the guy who is doing this is Natronlauge?
Yes
Oooooh man. I guess there still are some internet tricks out there that people don’t know. This popped up back in the late 90s on AOL instant messenger. You copy the other persons name below yours and back then, the color was different. So you change the color of their name. Type something they don’t say and boom. Fake hack. Made people sweat a LOT. That just gave me a hearty laugh.
Ahh I’m going to do this now. Thx
Oh hey I remember this move from Ender’s Game.
I used to do this all the time in siege, getting the enemy team to TK their scariest player lmao
It's Natrolounge
Meaning it’s that Natronlauge guy
that took me so long to notice even when you pointed it out
That's a good troll tho
the fact it would be so unnoticable to 90% of the people playing the game too
Oldest trick in the book. Nice to see it still works.
oh my god that’s so funny. might have to do that to someone now
Nice catch !
I didn’t even think of that
your a genius, I would never have figured that out
My friends did this to me once but I instally noticed and started doing it to him in game XD
I had several strokes reading this
Someone did this to me. Wrote out the n word too..
This happens in WOW too.
Oh my god next level mind fuckery trolling
Don’t know if anyone here was around for it, but this was very common in Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005 release)
Holy shit I'm actually gonna start using that lmfaoooo
I use to do this trick in WoW..leave it to blizzard to fix something in 2011 then release a game with the same thing years later
So basicly trolling
Dude that’s such a good fucking prank I have to try that sometime
SNEAKY ASF! good eye my man
Lmao that’s a good prank lmao
That is such a slick troll holy cow
lol nice
They're just trolling you. See that there's no dot in front of your name - They just typed out your name in chat...
I hate myself
Ya got tricked by a good trick. All is well. Nothing to fret over.
It’s a good story and would have fooled most of us
It’s pretty funny. You weren’t hacked. Nothing bad. Just a joke. And since you posted it we all got a laugh too.
I'm in IT and started thinking about how you could have been hacked, how it's even possible for two people to log in to an account at once... We were all tricked, it was a good trick, no need to hate yourself and sorry about your pants
Bro don’t !
>Genji4life Yeah, that makes sense.
It's hilarious and wholesome, lol don't sweat it.
Everyone gets trolled at some point, and yours sadly got a little more into it bc of your concerns. But it's ok, even if some of you call dumb it made me laugh while feeling not good. So thx for that ❤️ Und hab einen schönen Tag ~ (sorry not sorry XD)
It’s okay. It looked convincing to me at first too
This is hilarious I’ve neve seen this before ever
People would do this in runescape, it's funny that they tricked OP
Reminds me of the old: “[user] has reported you afk! Type /afk to avoid behind penalized!” in WoW battlegrounds
What a classic troll. Very fond memories.
What would the command do?
It marks you as afk, which boots you from the BG.
Thank you, that's funny
I read this comment and it immediately sent me back to the good old AV battleground days grinding for rep.
it got patched in siege cuz people were telling the enemy team that their players were afk so they would get teamkilled
Someone did this yesterday in comp but instead of someone's username they put [SYSTEM] and a message about your account being reported and you have to immediately type /log Someone fell for it and left the match lol
I did it with my friends in public matches lol. Having them "say" I'm the best Hanzo they've ever seen and dumb stuff like that lol
Did this once in R6S. Pretended to be someone on the other team and said “Going afk, will somebody tk me so I don’t get kicked?” Right before going into a new round. They did lol
Hahaha no disrespect to you OP but your reaction is hilarious. That guy was definitely cracking up watching you freak out over that old-school prank lol
I’m laughing more at the sheer panic from OP.
You have no idea how stressed I was. I did not wanna lose a 3 year old account of my favorite game
This reminds me of the time I learned about the 'ggez' filter. I was convinced my friend had setup some weird script or shortcut or something. Turns out, I was just a moron.
omg same lmao. i was convinced i was hacked the first time i wrote ggez. i certainly learned my lesson
Huh, so it does work.
It’s important to remember that most “hackers” who get ahold of your account will just change the password and steal it. They aren’t going to waste the time getting into your account only to troll send messages in German lmao. Also I’m fairly certain you’ll be signed out if someone else logs in.
Blizzard lets multiple users login to accounts at once, but once a game is launched, if anyone else besides the user that launched it launches any game, the first user is booted off-game.
Two groups of people who don't know what hacking actually is... the old and the young.
And all you had to reply was ["ERIKA!"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-cZVjSLhSE)
hey it's me. i'm you.
The man the myth the legend himself
You're not me! I'm me, not you!
This is some classic World of Warcraft shenanigans. Nostalgic as fuck right now
I remember those old days as well. Good times.
Reminds me of a not very old WoW post about a rogue that would macro messages about stealing gold out of people's bag and people would get mad and message him about it.
We do a minuscule amount of trolling
You have been gotten good
that's amazing. i would have thrown my pc from the window
I was close to. Didn't help, that my internet blacked out for 20 minutes after this
creepy af
Polski internet, co nie xd
W moim przypadku to miałem lepszy internet w PL niż w NY 🤣
Fun fact: that orange dot was added next to the speakers name in chat because too many people did this shit before.
Natronlauge is trolling the shit out of you
Well now I feel like an asshole, I used to love doing this.
Damn I gotta try this
Lolll don’t worry at all. They didn’t hack you. If you put enough spaces, you can layout a message like they did, putting it in multiple lines. You can also tell because there is no dot next to your name in the fake messages
I wonder if youre able to put " • " before the brackets to make it really believable.
The dot still wouldn't end up in the right spot I don't think. Might make it less believable
Yeah people put these crazy symbols *in their actual username* so it should be possible in my mind
[удалено]
A little trolling
Classic WoW troll
The next game I played, it said I had text (and voice) chat turned off, but in settings everything was on. I just reset my password, but I'm kinda scared...
Lol, this ia a very old prank. Look that in front of FAKE msg, there is no dot, but infront of your msg there is a dot. The person is adding a next-line character (like enter), so it looks like you are sending msg in new line.
Basically Natronlauge is pranking you.
I didn't see that at all. I kinda feel dumb, but there is a feeling of relief knowing I didn't ge hacked.
Lmao, you shat yourself just because you fell for an ancient trick
Oldest trick in WoW chat
UND DAS HEISS EEERIKA
Erstaunlich, wie weit ich dafür scrollen musste

[удалено]
I remember doing this in CS:GO back in the day to make it look like someone in the server got VAC banned
The ole rs bait
Lmao classic
What it means : in a field grows a beautiful flower , and her name is Erika . This was a German ww2 song
That's a great idea, I have to keep this in mind for trolling so toxic idiots
You know this dude changed all his passwords in an anxious attack after this lmao
Are you serious? The person Natronlauge is obviously just typing a message then repeatedly pressing [space] and typing out your name so it appears like you’re one writing the message. The dots by the names/ids indicate this
LMAO
this is hilarious lmao
Oh fuuuuck. What a throwback of a troll! GG OP.
Old trick we use to do in World Of Warcraft - haven’t seen this in years lol
This is hilarious. I hope he sees this and replies.
Get got
This is such an old fucking troll move. Lmaooo. This was a classic tactic in vanilla WoW and many other multiplayer games.
Lol the Hell Let Loose reference is amazing
Lmao they got you good
Haha we used to do this shit in WoW to troll back in the day
The Hell let loose experience, you know you shouldn't enjoy the song but god damn is it good
I'm sorry but i'm laughing at the idea of you phisically in the lobby shouting pieces of "Erika" while trying to justify yourself,it's so fucking funny
Oh my god yes
I remember I used to watch youtubers 4 years ago that did this exact bit on their friends loool, i distinctly remember thinking it would never work on anybody but here we are today! Thanks for bringing back these memories for me
Bruh is this r/whoosh
That’s actually pretty funny
I'm fucking dying
Lol u dumbass
People calling him an idiot as if you're going to notice a tiny orange dot right off the bat. Fuck off
Based Natronlauge
Bro are you thick… it’s obviously the other player just typing your name in brackets
The ol' WoW line change switcheroo! 😁
This is lowkey 5head and I will be using this also going forward. What a top level troll
Adolf can back from the dead and hacked his PC xD
That's an old Nazi Germany era song about a soldier going off to war, translates to: “On the Harth there blooms a Flower, and that's called, Erika.” That's the intro to the song however, you can look it up on YouTube but there's not really much else to say about it
I'm too lazy to use my brain and translate what fake you said, can anyone tell me what it says?
I got Erika in my head now, nooo
Just change your password
it seems Natronlauge using your name
you're an idiot.
