After 100%ing Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare and getting all RDR single player trophies, I had the multiplayer trophies left to do. So on 2022-4-10 I entered Red Dead Online for the first time to start the trophy hunting. I loaded into a friendly freemode session to begin and soon after, I was invited to a posse. I had no idea what I was to do at this point so I kind of just existed with the other people for a bit after teleporting or traveling to posse leader. There was one kid on a mic and everyone was just dicking around for a little bit until I guess the posse leader loaded up a free-for-all deathmatch. This was my first gamemode I will play in Red Dead Online. At the time I didn't even know we were in a deathmatch and I thought we were just doing some standoff thing like in single player. In the standoff I killed I think 2 players and was the last man standing. Through this standoff I got the 'Red Dead Rockstar' viral trophy. After the standoff I thought the whole thing was over so I just started running off but after having to defend myself a few times I realized I was in a deathmatch and had the highest score. I then started playing like I was actually in a deathmatch. Eventually I got a High Power Pistol and quickly learned its very high rate of fire made it a great weapon and then my performance improved. I then won that deathmatch starting out as a clueless level 1 player. I then won the next 2 deathmatches getting me 'The Quick and Everyone Else' trophy where you have to win 3 free-for-all matches in a row.
Eventually I joined a PSNProfiles boosting session and spent time doing trophy boosting that day. The next day or day after that, I was in a different boosting session and told the host of the previous boosting session to join the one I had just joined and he did. The next day I'm in the game boosting with the new group and we were trying to get some match-specific trophies including 'Who needs Deadeye?'. In the first match everyone was in the chat figuring out what to do so I went ahead and killed them all for the trophy. The others then got their trophies except for the previous host to whom the new guys decided they would do a bit of trolling. Multiple times even after the previous boosting session host said he was getting the trophy next, the other guys decided they would kill him in the standoff anyways and this occurred multiple times and it was pretty funny. Eventually the boosting was done and the previous host and I never boosted with them again.
The previous host then started up a new boosting session which I joined. That session was a failure so he started up another one. This one many people joined. Around this time I did the co-op missions and the advanced variants. The advanced missions were much more difficult but after failing one of the missions over and over I got gud and with the randoms I was playing with, completed the mission. We then did most of the other missions until one of the randoms left and did the last 2 in a duo. Throughout these missions, I was the top scorer and strategy maker. I then had all the co-op trophies after the final mission was completed. I later did them all again with the session host carrying him. Eventually the session was big enough so that we could all do the 6-player poker trophy. This trophy takes 30 minutes to complete per person. We decided that the host would win first and then I would and then everyone else. I was always the next person after the host to get a trophy since he was the host and I was the participant that was with the host the longest. I don't think anyone consciously knew this but I essentially forced myself into the winning spot after the host for each thing. In the first successful game of poker even though it was just me and the host and he was supposed to win, he was clueless on what to do and messed up and even though I still could've let him win, I decided to win anyways. He thought it was because he messed up and I went along with it when in reality I decided to just win myself because he was clueless. I let him win the next game but he still messed up multiple times at the end.
We all boosted trophies and got to the point where the host and I only had one trophy left which was 'Kingpin'. It required 9 players to complete. It took multiple days until the boosting group had enough people to complete this trophy and the host wouldn't shut up about wanting to get this trophy. On the day of, we got into a session to do it. After switching sessions a few times we were finally about to do it. Everyone clumped together and then the host went up, captured the area, threw dynamite at us and all 8 of us blew up and the host got his trophy. Next I made sure I was the next person to get the trophy and killed everyone. Then the next 5 people did it. Afterwards while everyone was still together, I said to group up so I could take photo of everyone that consented which they all did. I walked in front of the group and took the photo. There was no coordination or instruction other than "group up" so the photo was just of a clump of players with blood, explosive marks, and corpses all around. Everyone then did whatever afterwards.
Photo of everyone clumped together after we all got the 'Kingpin' trophy. Contains everyone that helped with previous stuff minus one of the guys and his alt account and has people whom this was their first time boosting with us. PS3 doesn't have screenshot functionality so I had to take an actual photo of the screen.
