An invite to the clan for my Star Wars RPG

Ari, the problem is, and this isn't meant to be a serious insult, but thus far I don't have high hopes that anyone in this clan is that great of a role player. I'll be giving everyone who joins a couple week trial period, offering hints, tips, suggestions, comments, and all things of advice that I can, and after that I start to cut people out of it. It's nothing personal, but some people know how to think in a realistic manner, and write well and creatively.

Those who can't, don't hack it.

Failed Role Players tend to be top notch MMO Players though. There's an insult laced in that if you know anything about me. I'll hold back on blatently saying it though, since this is a clan for an upcoming MMO.

Anyway, Iluvatar, I don't hold set schedules. Whenever people are on, and I've got a few hours to spend on it, we have a session.

As for group sessions that include everyone, I highly doubt it. Not everyone in the RPG is on the same side, so it would be highly improbable for everyone to be playing together, unless of course they were fighting one another.

And I refuse to put anyone in this clan up against another player until they've had a lot of time to practice and get used to things.

And Zink, the pun was directed at you, but the insult itself wasn't.

Though I will admit, that I'd expect someone who claims to have done so well on the SAT's to have a bit more respect of the english language.

I agree with Condor Lecture #4. We *get* it Ty...jeez...there are times when people just want to sit back and chill and if they happen to type misspellings they might not want to go and re-type it. The way you talk on the internet has no forebearing evidence of how you talk in real life...it's two completly different things.

I was thinking about joining this rpg...because I do myself like to write, and am imaginative, and I thought it would be a unique and *fun* experience, but I'm not so sure now...seeing as how I'm already destined for failure.

There's misspellings, and then there's typing like a fuckhead. There is a tone that I bring to my RPG, that can easily be destroyed by people talking about the way I am 'lecturing' about. And for all the ranting and raving and lecturing that I've done, it doesn't seem to help when I get an IM from some people from this clan saying "so do u want 2 make my character now?"

And I don't give a shit about how you talk in real life. I care about how you talk in my RPG.

And I don't know what you mean when you say you're destined for failure. If it means you're incapable of typing exactly how you just did in your last post, and you must revert to "ur RPG is kewl" type speech, then yeah, you're destined for failure, because I may just have to reach through the internet connection and bitchslap you if you do that during a game session.

Otherwise, I don't know why you'd say you're destined for failure.

Heh, did I actually say that? I remember saying something similar, but I dont remember saying it with "7331" speech.

I said i was destined for failure because you obviously seem to think so. Maybe some people purposely IM you with that kind of a response because they know how much it gets to you. Finally, give and thou shalt recieve commrade. - Use your imagination

[Anonymous]

Eclipse, I don't get it. Your first post on this thread was that you were destined for failure. Your second post claims that I "obviously" think you're destined for failure. How in the world could I have made that claim against you before you even made your first post on this thread?

Your pessimism is overrunning your logical thought process. The ONLY WAY you could see me as telling you that you're destined for failure is if you talk like one of the many asshats in the vast MMO/Internet community, and you feel that you can't control it....

I don't see that type of retard-talk in your two posts, so I'm going to eliminate that one from the checklist. There's nothing else on it, so why don't you elaborate for me, so that I can address your issues in a more educated manner. Educated being, what your beef is.

Also, the "Maybe some people purposely IM you with that kind of a response because they know how much it gets to you" thing. People who IM me with the intention of 'getting to me' in such a childish, immature and lame ass way don't get to me. They get put on my block list. Little fucking buttmonkey's like that aren't worthy of taking up any of my time, and I don't let retarded shits like these get to me. If I'm feeling in a playful mood, I might yell at them, but simply seeing some 12 year old raping the english language isn't enough for me to climb a clock tower.

If some little buttmonkey did it in my RPG, it'd bother the hell out of me at that point, but it would be a relative waste of time for the fuckstick who did it. Because all that would happen, is I'd kick that person out of my RPG permanently, put him on my block list, and switch chat rooms with the rest of the group. I realize that most MMORPG players have loads of time on their hand, what with the having no lives, no girlfriends, and no hopes of ever getting either, so all that's left is to pull childish little pranks on those who don't really give a damn, but I'm a bit too grown up to let these types get to me, especially when I KNOW that's all they're going for.

If you think that's a contradiction because of how much I've "lectured" all of you on this thread about such language, well you're flat out wrong. My "lectures" are preventative statements. And every single person who replied to my post using retard-speech thinking that they were being witty, they're also flat out wrong. They were being predictable, and you can attach any or all of the other insults I've relayed in this post to couple with the predictable insult as well.

That's my long winded way of responding to you, Eclipse.

The short version is simply this: If you stop being so pessimistic and trying to guilt-trip me, or whatever it is you're hoping to accomplish (because this is obviously the wrong way to go about it), and instead join my RPG, you'll probably get a lot more done, have a lot more fun, and no longer feel the same way.

Now, if all of this has turned you off to my RPG, if I'm too straight-forward, if my teeth are too sharp and you just don't think you're cut out for the kind of challenge my RPG would put against you, creatively, logically, strategically, realistically, then that's fine as well. I've got close to 15 members in this RPG as it is, and I was merely trying to raise my numbers to around 5 or 6, so I won't be hurting.

im just curious why it really matters? why are you playing english teacher on a clan website, where all we really wanna do is have fun and enjoy each others company.  why do we have to play "student" and be ridiculed(SP) by you because we dont want to type the WHOLE word out?  You have your opinions yes, we all do, but when you come on here and bitch and moan about how were asshats and retards for typing a little different, and maybe a little easier than you, you make urself sound like an asshole and a tightass.  keep your opinions to your self if you dont like them, all people are different, shesh.   now i like you, most of the time your a great guy (non homosexually), but your really annoying to listen to when you reply to everyone like their a child or their somehow not as good as you. im just sick and tired of being ridiculed about how i type or speak, shit, if i wanted that, i'd go back to high school. im done, i really dont care if u reply to me or not, and i really dont care if ur a hothead and get all pissed about it, cause its the truth, weather u like it or not. later

REOW! HISSSSSSS! *cats begin to hiss*

You both have valid points. People really should have an understanding of the english language, and know how to articulate it when the time comes. I actually know kids you use "sk8er", ur, and "u" when tey write reports.

But, chatting is a different story. You have to type extremely fast so that the other person does not interrupt what you are about to say. Thus, ""1337" or "7331" or however you say it speech was created, so you could type faster.

And again, Zink, you are right and wrong about Tyshalle's posting. Yes, it is a little preachy. Yes, he does sound like the ever-hated english teacher. But he correcting people were they need to be corrected. Also, this is his thread. You are talking to him, and he is responding at his choice. Show a little courtesy and follow his wishes.

Of course, these are all my views. Everyone will think different.

[Anonymous]

Yes, but yet again, they are his views. You dont have to listen. Im mostly on his side when it comes to the english thing, but yes, branding people with offensive names does take it a bit too far.

And I am still waiting Tyshalle. Still waiting.

[Anonymous]

im not gonna add to the fire and post more, i said what i needed to say and got my point across, thats all i wanted to bring up

[Anonymous]

Deh, I'll shut the fuck up about people talking like little ignorant bitches then. I figure you all have been warned enough about what will happen if you join my RPG and talk like that, so I'll leave it like that.

Though for the record, as a writer, I do often consider becoming an english teacher (albiet a writing teacher, or more specifically, a creative writing teacher, but it's all the same).

Also, I didn't realize I was pissing so many people off, and offending them. I suppose I should have seen it coming, I mean I was throwing non-specific, broad insults out at people who write like lazy ass little poopsticks, it only makes sense that people who write in the way I'm complaining about would be offended. What was I thinking?

But anyhow, I'll save my bitching to be pure MMO hatred only.

[Anonymous]

Well, MMO hatred is good. However, Matrix hating is BAD. At least, it is if you have no point as to why it is bad.

And im still waiting....

[Anonymous]

Eh, there's a lot of reasons why the Matrix SEQUELS are bad. Don't get me wrong, I hold the original movie in the highest regard, and it's still on my top 10 list of greatest movies ever made. I think I've made a ton of posts about why I hate the sequels, so I'll just sum up the reasons:

1. There was so much selling out in RELOADED. "Buy the Matrix Powerade; Buy the Matrix Phone; Buy the Matrix CAR." You saw all of this marketing going on constantly throughout RELOADED, and even ENTER THE MATRIX. The phone was gay, and it was all just more of a ploy to make the Wachowski's more money. Anyone who argues that they NEEDED to sell out like that so that they could fund their movie doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about. The Matrix Sequels were the most anticipated movies of the whole fucking decade. They didn't need ANY help getting the money to fund them. Now, did all this selling out detract from story? Did seeing a Powerade vending machine make Lawrence Fishburn deliver his lines any worse? Well, no. But that kind of selling out cheapens a product. I'd have had absolutely no problem with all of it, had they just stuck to commercials and all that crap. But the fact that every damn bilbord I saw in ENTER THE MATRIX and RELOADED had to do with selling something, this is all very disturbing.

2. They didn't pay nearly as much attention to detail as they did in the first one. In the first one, Morpheus' lines were written with fucking breaks in them where he's supposed to breath. Lawrence had to not only memorize his lines, but memorize the pauses in his lines, which only added to his charm. Also, Morpheus was much more human in the Real World. In the sequels, Morpheus talked like a jackass all the time, like he was some kind of a prophet 24/7, and all of his appeal went straight out the window. His lines were poorly delivered, and pretty much all of the dialogue in the sequels were completely ridiculous AT BEST. Also, every single thing in the first movie had some kind of pretext to it. Everything from fucking Neo's appartment door number, to what book he stored his illegal goods in, to the picture's on his bosses' wall at his computer work office place. None of this meticulous attention to detail was given to the second two movies, not at all.

3. It was 100% spectacle. There was no intelligence put behind it, it was just "ooookay, we'll take them underground and give away the whole plot of the film, and then we'll finish it off with a lame ass fight scene with Neo taking on three agents, where he barely fucking touches them with his foot and they crash through a concrete wall." "Oookay, Neo will go talk to Seraph and get taken to the Oracle, at which the end of it he'll get into a big brawl with 100 Agent Smiths. This will be pretty much all computer generated, because everybody copied our bullet time, this will just be too expensive for anyone to copy. Hey I got an idea, BEFORE Seraph takes Neo to see the Oracle, he'll fight Neo himself in what will quite possibly be the most obviously scripted fight coreography ever put on film, EVER." It was all gutter trash. You felt every blow in the first movie. In the sequels, you just watched the CG and absolutely none of the fight scenes affected you. They were merely sprinkles on top of your chocolate syrup.

4. All of the philosophy in the sequels was spoon fed to you, and bullshit that in your face should at least be TRUE. All of it was outdated and wrong. The best example is Merv's whole Causality. Causality is a dead fucking theory, taken out of play by metaphysics and Chaos theory. It's been dead for about two decades now, bringing it back makes them look fucking retarded to anybody of mild intelligence above the age of 14. At the very least, anybody who's seen fucking JURRASSIC PARK.

I could go on and on about this, I really could, and I have, far too many times. And I'll just spare you all of the rest of it, unless someone calls me out on it and pretends like I don't really know what I'm talking about. Anyway, see everyone later.
