Poll: Do I enjoy this hobby more than I don't?

Tinuviel · May 27, 2019, 11:17 PM

@Lemon-Fox Then I don't understand why you suddenly find it toxic.

Lemon Fox · May 27, 2019, 11:25 PM

@Tinuviel Because I wasn't the one suggesting breaking the rules. There was no need to 'remind' me, and it really hurt that @Roz felt they needed to let everyone else know, 'Hey, careful there, partner, this one here is a bad egg.' Like seriously, Why even do that except to be mean? If I ever planned on sneaking onto Arx, I would have done so a long-ass time ago, not on the sudden suggestion of some guy I don't know.

What this means in relation to this thread is, we're here to have fun with friends, right? But an awful lot of people seem to just want to attack people they don't like, at every chance given. And it's gotten really hard to keep a positive attitude with that kind of culture going around.

And who knows, maybe I'm just reading too much into it and @Roz didn't mean to be hurtful with that, but that's what it seemed like and I'm just over here being like, "Really?"

@Lemon-Fox Probably to explain to the person who was suggesting you do this why their idea was not acceptable under these circumstances.

Roz · May 27, 2019, 11:28 PM

@Lemon-Fox I was honestly only clarifying to Ghost because I figured he was not actually intending to suggest breaking any rules, he assumed it was a different situation than what it was, but perhaps I should have left matters to you to set the suggestion aside herself without having it explained why. I didn't think you were about to take him up on it. It wasn't actually my intention to brand anybody, and I wasn't seeking to remind you of anything, Lemon Fox. I don't think there's any issue with you hopefully finding your niche on a game.

@Lemon-Fox

It did read to me as an attempt to explain to @Ghost why his idea would not work rather than an attack on you as @saosmash said. However, I can see why you might have read it otherwise considering what you've said about missing the community and I am sympathetic.

ETA: sorry to pile on. I was still typing when @Roz replied.

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to explain your intentions.

Conversely to the "everyone is always attacking everyone" argument, there's the rather obvious "everyone takes everything said personally" problem.

I voted no.

I zip away a lot, I'm not that active much on the games I do play so I'm probably not enjoying the hobby more than I don't. When I am active on a game, it can be fun especially when something new happens that hasn't happened before but that's a bit rare.

Just in case anyone is yet to vote and is looking for input...

There's currently a spat going on in the Hog Pit about whether or not someone idling in a room waiting for RP is creepy, camping, or marking territory, and what should be done if they refuse to move when you ask them to.

I feel so much better about the poll today than I did yesterday; it still makes me a little sad, but I'm not quite so shocked as I was.

@Ghost

Nobody is on fire or being murdered over there, it's okay. We're all still getting along, we're just getting along very loudly.

Tinuviel · May 28, 2019, 2:04 AM

@Sunny No. Fuck you. You're wrong about this one particular thing and therefore you are a horrible person in every way!
