Reminds me of the “Op” wars on IRC. All users would be given @ status and the point was to kick everyone before you got kicked. Writing scripts for this was my first “taste” at programming.
You must be kidding; Yoda was one of Morrowind’s key characters, alongside Teela, Master Bindo, Mister Rogers, and Maiq the Squid (complete ensemble pictured below).
Little known fact: A Stanford mainframe kept logs of the activities of the ‘wheels’ in a journal – the ‘journal of the wheels’. Young George Lucas, who briefly attended the university, found that journal, and became fascinated with the ‘Wheel Wars’. He later drafted a document that he called ‘Journal of the Whills’, based largely on what he read on those logs; this is the draft that later became ‘Whill Wars’, and ultimately, of course, ‘Star Wars’.
In my town’s school classes during Covid lockdown were held in Microsoft Teams. But there was a severe lack of IT knowledge. In the beginning, for some reason all participants ended up with moderator rights, so kids kept kicking the teacher out of their lecture.
Reminds me of the test server shenanigans I had at an old job versus a colleague. All in fun. Nothing in production.
One was the faux Bash shell that kind of worked OK until you pushed it or tried to do anything fancy. It was the default shell for the user called "root", but that wasn't the UID 0 user. It had been, but I renamed it. Then created a new "root" with a different UID. Of course, the faux shell would tell "root" that it was UID 0.
The other was the simple background loop that would detect any rival admin sessions and SIGHUP their shell process. First user on the box to run that pretty much had free reign, and everyone else was logged off instantly.
got a similar situation in MUDs, someone finds a way to frob everyone else up to wizard level and the whole round of the game just becomes a mess of shouts
Anyways, this probably depends on the application. You’d have to find out if there is a command line option in the application to start it minimised or in tray.
