Rage Quit



A rage quit is a general term used to describe when a user becomes enraged by something so much that they rage and abruptly end the session. Normally this term is used in gaming when someone is getting beat badly and shuts off their console. A rage quit within True Capitalist Radio, on the other hand, refers to when the trolls actually enrage Ghost to the point where he ends the show a few minutes early (or sometimes, an entire hour), or spends much of the rest of the show in rage and disbelief.

Actual rage quits, for the most part, are a rare occurrence on True Capitalist Radio. Ghost often threatens to end the show early, but instead usually moves on after calming down and takes more calls. The Chatroom, of course, fills with heckling comments daring him to end the show during one of these threats (which he occasionally takes note of, issuing an "Enough, alright?" or "Don't tempt me..." response to the chat). Show termination threats usually entail Ghost informing the listeners that he doesn't even need to do the broadcast and that he could instead be on Sixth Street right now. He may even mention the drink specials that happen to be available, such as Dollar-You-Call-It Night (these tend to be on all days but Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, according to Ghost.)

On even rarer occasions, Ghost has rage-quit only for the Engineer to take over the show in Ghost's absence. During these take-overs Ghost returns, reprimands the Engineer, and usually ended up finishing the show, Radio Graffiti included.

Ghost Rage Quits
Keep in mind that Ghost normally runs a three-hour broadcast (two hours in early-mid 2016, back to 3 hours again), and that if he rages hard enough, even while ending an episode at its normal time, he may not come back for at least a week because of his annoyance at being disrespected. This was the case for the final few months of the 2011-12 episodes of True Capitalist Radio. In other cases, Ghost may spend much of a show in a tirade, or go so far off topic in his rages that he misses completing some of his news commentary.



Rage Quit Rule
For a rage quit to count for the purposes of this article, there must be ten or more minutes of air time left in the episode.
