General Discussion / Re: Why dont we seperate IRL and non IRL?
« on: May 18, 2006, 09:24:00 pm »
I haven't called you names or anything of the sort and if you don't want me to keep replying it might be a good idea to not keep refering to me by name even.

 ??? I don't believe I have called you a name either so why  did that come up? No wait don't answer that ....  Anyway enough already. Your post says what the rest of them do. You haven't made any new points. Just the same one over and over. Again I say, find someone else to over analyze. My point of view still stands and I still feel the same way as I felt when I first posted in this thread. Had I known you would flip out over certian words I might have used them differently. I was never trying to offend anyone and had stated so a couple of times. Get the point already as you seem to be the only one offended.

What happened in my eyes: I posted my opinion, you Pestilence followed up with a post I felt was rude explaining that maybe I shouldn't say those things in that manner as people might take offence. I posted a response explaining why I felt that way so that people WOULDN'T feel offened. It should have been left there.

Either way Cyl is right if you would like to continue this PM me otherwise just let it go already.

I have read your posts Sarff and I didn't comment on your arguments becuase I felt it had nothing to do with the words your choice to use and keep using. You say you don't want to offend, but as they say actions tell more then words.

Whatever. You just picked out two words you didn't like and took it from there. You keep going and going and going .... You said you peace in three posts before, must you keep on about this?

I think it is unhealthy. I apologise for my choice of words if in fact anyone was offened besides Pestilence. I do not however take back the disturbing comment. I meant it when I said ...

You say you think I am offended, but that doesn't seem to matter to you. You haven't changed your choice of words and you seem to make a point to say "besides Pestilence" what is offending in itself in my opinion. How many people exactly need to be offended before it matters?

Thats because your looking at it that way. Don't flatter yourself Prestilence, I wasn't sitting there trying to think of skillful ways to offend you. You took that sentance the wrong way. Big surprise. I am not going to even bother explaining because it won't be read or read correctly for that matter. Your just looking for something to pick apart.  Have fun, find someone else to over analyze.

I am sorry if you percieve me as being rude Sarff, but I simply don't see it that way.

Yes I am being direct and don't beat around the bush on what I think about this matter. But if you start of calling people disturbing and say people have issues you can hardly expect them to turn lovydovy on you. Not agreeing with you and pointing out you are using vocabulary that might be offensive to some people isn't rude if thats simply the case.  It's also not saying that you can't voice your opinion it's simply pointing out this is a civilized forums where we respect eachother. Just as you have the right to say you feel I'm rude.

I think it's strange however that you seem say I can't point out that you shouldn't talk about  people in such a manner, but you do seem to think you are allowed to say I can't voice my opinion about it becuase you feel it's rude towards you.

Your not the only one who doesn't beat around the bush, join the club. Your last post seems to be still directed to my first post. I guess you won't be able to understand until you move past the first post I made and read the following posts to come. I have addressed your issue but you ignore it. What can I do if all you want to do is focus on basically two words. Oh wait I know what I can do ... I can give you a new sentance to focus on. ~points down to the bold text~ That one sentance should be enough for you to see that I wasn't trying to offend.


Pestilence I do have respect for people and again your words show me you didn't read a damn thing I said.  I explained my point of view in the last couple of posts. If you couldn't in the posts see that I  meant no disrespect and just made some good points ... backed up my point of view, then I am sorry you did not seem to get where I was coming from.

Anyway, Zorbels perhaps I was to abit to quick to say people could have issues. Who is really to say? Indeed you are correct. I still feel that way though. I think it is unhealthy. I apologise for my choice of words if in fact anyone was offened besides Pestilence. I do not however take back the disturbing comment. I meant it when I said ...

The person on the other end could not be who you think it is. I think that in fact is DISTRUBING, especially since this game allows minors.

I think you are overreacting, Sarff.

I am sorry you feel that way. I fail to see where I am. I was explaining my point of view.

Calm down, Pestilence in no way meant any harm nor was his post rude.

I am calm and just fine. I don't know that Karyuu, and I have to disagree. If Pestilence wasn't trying to be rude he/she would have said so in their last post if this was a misunderstanding. No one is offended that I see except for Pestilence. My posts to follow explain why I feel the way I do and yet everyone including yourself Karyuu seems to think I need to be told over and over the same facts. Actually the only one who seemed to take the time to read what I said is waylander. Thanks for that by the way. I know there are people behind the text. I know others feel different about the situation than I do.

I am not saying that it is not possible to fall in love with someone from planeshift.

I accept that, but can you accept the way my point of veiw is? I am all for reading what Pestilence has to say, but I am not going to have him/her tell me that I SHOULD do this differently or SAY things differently or not at all. That is not his/her right. He/she can suggest, or discribe being offended. Better yet, Pertlience could have asked me to elaborate or explain in different terms so it wouldn't seem offensive to him/her. He/she wasn't interested in that, and decided to (as I see it) be rude.

Wow, you can sure tell a story. I have never sat still this long and not once was my attention lost. From the looks of things it seems you plan to write more and you can bet I will be here to read it the moment you post it. Great work!  :thumbup:

 :love: I love my mom. I bought her a dishwasher this year. I thought she deserved it as she is getting on in the years.

 Happy Mothers day to all the moms in PS. Your job is probably one of the hardest in the world. Personally I think all mothers should get a paid day off to spend with their kids.  :flowers:

Very real, and it happens very often.

I can agree with that, as I said before there are exceptions. Is it always true love everytime and not just lust ..... most of the time I believe it is just lust. Thats just my opinion.  Again, I say I would have to meet her in RL to even begin to truly believe she and I were in love. I am not easily convinced as some might be.

Pestilence I do have respect for people and again your words show me you didn't read a damn thing I said.  I explained my point of view in the last couple of posts. If you couldn't in the posts see that I  meant no disrespect and just made some good points ... backed up my point of view, then I am sorry you did not seem to get where I was coming from. Just do me a favor stop telling me to have respect when you so obviously don't for my point of view.

You see that is where I have a problem. Hear me out. You look at the picture and automatically assume that is who this person claims to be (look like)? Don't get me wrong maybe they are the person you see in the digital image but how do you know that for a fact? You hear their voices over messanger or other programs through chat, so it is safe to assume that everything they say is truth or close to it?

In my point of view I do not believe everything I may see and hear online. I think that is being very open minded. I can also appreciate that you have your point of view Waylander, as does this Pestilence guy/girl. That too is very open minded. We all have different perceptions of how we see things. 

Also, this is a roleplaying game is it not? The moment you drop your walls and let someone know the real you by showing them a picture, or telling them your age ... you begin to lose the fantasy of the game. You begin to mix RL with RP. You may not do this on purpose BUT it still happens. So you confuse the two and end up falling in love with some parts of the character and some parts of the RL person. How do you know what is which. Hence my comment on falling in love with text. You never really know, as far as MY point of view is concerned if this person is in love with you .... or you in love with them till you see their face, and read their body language. It is to easy to hide behind your monitor and tell people what they want to hear. I would like to think we are all good people with good intentions, but I don't like to lie to myself. I would like to believe this pretty woman in my group box, telling me that she is so happy she found me. That she cares about me and wants to meet me some day. "We have so much in common!" She will say. Again maybe it can happen, but I wouldn't believe it until I meet her. I wouldn't know how much of my in game character she fell in love with. Maybe she would be disappointed to find out that wasn't the real me who was confident in character but has low self-esteem in RL. Maybe I find out she isn't the sweeti she seems with her words and in fact is a self centered person, who likes to control. Should I be cursing the text I fell in love with then? But again I will say ....


I am sure there are some exceptions as there always are ......

I am not saying that it is not possible to fall in love with someone from planeshift. How real is it, and has it ever happened? I don't know .... do you?

Think that is lack of imagination Sarff, but isn't love always hard to understand if it never happened to you?

I mean even after it's hard to explain as everytime it's different. So don't call something like that disturbing just becuase you don't understand it.

Love is one of the blessings of this world. Who cares how one finds it aslong as it makes those persons happy

Hmmm. The way you put your words, you come across very rude. First of all who are you to tell me what I can and can not say? I stated my point of view on the matter, if you don't like it that is fine, your prerogative  but there is no need to get arrogant about it. Second of all there is not one place in my post that said I haven't been in love. Assumptions of others are not good if you don't have the facts to back up your mouth. I indeed have been very much in love and this is why I am confused about how people fall in love with text, because that is all it is. The person on the other end could not be who you think it is. I think that in fact is DISTRUBING, especially since this game allows minors. If you are looking for a place to meet people for a romantic relationship then you should be in somewhere else, not in planeshift. I did say in my post .....

I am sure there are some exceptions as there always are ......

I do wonder though. Seems like I hit a cord with you. Are you one of those who have fallen in love with text, and feeling you need to defend yourself?

Wow if people fall in love with fictional characters in the game, these people have some issues.  :-X Personally I think I would like to see the person in real life before I even think about giving my heart away. This is a game, it is hard for me to understand why people would fall in love with characters in the game. That is just distrubing. I am sure there are some exceptions as there always are but come on .... falling in love with text? Yikes!

Thanks Waylander. After today in planeshift I am very interested to see what I make of myself.  :devil: I had a blast. Although it sure is hard to take on NPC's as a noob. Blah ... no matter I will have a tef rug in no time. Although clackers are mean things. I had a bad experience today with a clacker ... I think ... yes I think we should  :ban: clackers for picking on noob's. J/k, but I swear it waited for me to attack something before chasing me down to attack me. Do they follow you across the world if you run by them? I had a feeling this one followed me.

 Well it was my first day in planeshift today, and I have to say when Zorbels told me this was a friendly community she wasn't joking. Amost everyone I encountered was very helpful and patient. I want to say a few thank you's to those who helped me. 

Stellub: :thumbup: a special thank you for going out of your way to show me to the NPC who sells armor and offering to assist me with anything I may need. You were quite helpful. 

Tairan: Thank you for teaching me how to /me. This came in handy when I got my butt kicked almost by a clacker. :@#\ I /me kicked it in the butt back once I figured out how to fight. 

Failda: Thank you for saving my life.:flowers: If it were not for you I would have jumped into the dungeon. You were very pleasent to speak with and answered many of my questions.
