Doitzel Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Good. Glad to have succeeded. I "apologized" for killing VE? Link me because I don't remember that. I do remember strategically using them to come back and help attack GOONS. If I didn't know better I'd say you were trying to prove something.

o-dog Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) This is a game. How I play in the game is the choice I have purposefully taken and have no reflection or similarities with my life away from the game. So you chose a persona who is happy to call a fellow player a slut. Well done. Edited April 7, 2009 by O-Dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How I play in the game is the choice I have purposefully taken and have no reflection or similarities with my life away from the game. However, you are correct on one thing, I enjoy being young at heart, so I hope I never grow up and get too serious for my own good (in RL of course). You play the game with the persona you want, and I play with the persona I want. You don't like it, oh well. Edit: Time to go update the stats in my sig on the voting. Remember to keep voting for me. I'll be here all night, please tip your waitresses but not Moo-Cows. It happened so long ago, I don't really remember all of it. I remember that you only attacked VE and the other green alliances just to improve GGA's and your standing with the NPO. All you care about is yourself, and you act like it's funny because everyone hates you but at the end of the day nobody really gives a !@#$.

Bilrow Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) So you chose a persona who is happy to call a fellow player a slut.Well done. While name calling can be offensive, it is hardly an out of game/out of character attack when all I know of a person is their in-game persona. Is it rude? Yes. If I took offense at the number of names I have been called, then I would see your point. However, people calling me names due to my in-game persona, only make me smile. Edit: You can even engage in name calling in real life to me, it does not affect me. Edited April 8, 2009 by Bilrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, as a member of an alliance that was dragged through a pretty rough half a year over what, at least in part, amounted to a large amount of amassed IC hatred for a single individual, I can't help but take note of this thread. Do you or anyone else who seeks to be loathed ever worry that as you pursue the crown you are also putting your friends in danger of going through exactly what we went through? It's true that we all have a wide range of in-game personas to choose from, however I wonder if aiming to be hated is not a little unfair to the other members of your alliance who aren't afforded a choice if your persona backfires on you.

That you have to result to such personal insults as a leader of a nation speaks much about your IC persona: it is not one that any decent leader would adopt.

Bleh32 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) Also, nobody truly wants to be hated. People always think that what they are doing is right and justified, they also want to have friends and have people respect them. The only way you can deal with all the people hating you is by acting like you enjoy it, which is pretty sad considering the fact that you could've changed the way things played in CN history. You often had the oppurtunity to make sacrifices, instead you only look out for yourself. That is why most people hate you. You would not be in this situation if you had made the right choices. Keep on trying to be cute. People who "love the hate" amuse me Edited April 8, 2009 by Bleh32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a diplomat in New Pacific Order for a reason. I don't care to play the kissing up games to alliances who don't like us secretly. My job is numbers and statistics for a reason.

It's okay everyone, he's not a massive dick really, it was just a persona and he has just been commenting on other people's personas the whole time! I guess all of your snitching is a part of your in-game persona too right? Anyway look, I 'get' that you like to role-play as the tough guy for whatever reason, but can't you understand that other people are happy to be themselves in this game? Therefore, when you attack what you say is a persona (you have an online mask, so everyone else must do too, right?) you could really be attacking the human being sat at the desk who's just playing a game for fun. To me, the fact that you don't consider this speaks volumes about your character (not your persona's character, YOUR character), and this is why you get nothing but pity from me. Not loathing... as someone else already said, you're not worth loathing really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayOvfEnnay Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Edit: You can even engage in name calling in real life to me, it does not affect me. Hmm... I didn't want to bring it up but really, I seem to recall a certain time when maybe some OOC comments DID in fact affect you very much. That's all I'll say, because if I type much more I'm 100% sure I'll say something that I'll regret in the long run. But yeah, pretty sure THAT affected the way you play. In fact it affected the way a lot of us played. Again, that is all I'll say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fine, you stick to the 'it's just a game so I can be a dick to all and sundry and it doesn't matter' line if you like, and I'll ask something else. What do you get out of it? I do not believe that you are truly aiming to get the 'most unpopular' type tags from the community (if you are, that's pretty pathetic), so why have that persona? It can't be very fulfilling or enjoyable to have to pretend to be a dick to everyone the whole time (sacrificing any attempts at building friendships in the process) just because it's the persona you chose, so what do you get out of it?

I have a New Pacific Member making me a userbar as "Most Loathed Player in CN 2009". The people I care enough to make friends to, I do. That could be counted on one hand, maybe two hands of people who know me outside of my in-game persona. I prefer it that way. Everything else is my IC persona and the reason I play.
