Sooner

Layla... is this in addition to the spots we reserved earlier? I think I still have a spot or two, don't I?

I've been here since issue 3, and you guys have been there for me through some really really tough times.

I'll miss you.

Signing up now.

This game has meant a lot to me. My in game friends have been there for me through some really rough times.

Wow. Very cool. Thank you.

Happy Birthday!

Ooops.

I forgot the cake:

Have a great birthday!

See... That there is (non) constructive criticism.

I feel bad about my posts last night and want to apologize.

As I had read the entire thread before posting, I was already aware the OP was unable to see (or at least, unable to admit) how her own behavior was causing the problem, so I don't know why I thought anything I said could make the situation better.

Then, after posting the suggestion that you never let them see they made you angry, I let myself post more even as I became more and more irritated by the OPs belligerent behavior, and began trying to provoke a specific reaction. And as the OP has already proven, if you present your message badly, it will never convey your meaning.

However, after sleeping on it, I realized the analogy of a cat backed into a corner was actually perfect. A feral cat who doesn't understand that the people approaching it are really trying to help it, and is just freaking out, lashing out with tooth and claw at everyone it sees. And in that situation, more people joining in to help the terrified wild thing never make it better.

So, I apologize for letting my own irritation get the best of me. That's not who I am or how I prefer to present myself. And no matter my opinion of the OPs behavior, I am not proud of my own behavior.

So, I do apologize for the way I posted last night. It was not helpful, it was not kind, and the truth was lost in the way I chose to present it.

...and leave with this last bit of advice (that I already know no one's going to take). To the OP, step away and try to calm down. To everyone else: she is not capable of hearing you. She's proven already that anything and everything you say will be taken as a personal insult. Actually... it's the same advice to you: Step away and calm down.

I am out of this thread.

Peace.

I think I will save this thread as an example of how NOT to behave on the internet.

One quick piece of advice (which I already know you're not gonna take, but.. hey... I can try): Never let them see they made you mad.

EDIT: And no one actually cares that you're a girl. "He" and "him" ARE gender neutral when gender is unknown. A simple, "Oh, and by the way, I'm a girl," is adequate.

I'm just as happy with the "slow" market weeks cause it means I get to save my points for big stuff down the road.

Having said that... the hype for Nature Affinity on FB posted just yesterday sure made it seem like it was launching today.

I just had this happen to me after my account dropped to premium for approximately 98 seconds the other day.

You see that lock on the right side of Bill's image?

Click on the character in your list, then click on that lock. It will give you a confirmation message, you confirm... all is well.

Except you have to do it for every character.

Demon Shell, while I am actually in agreement with you - visiting the Gull is about the first thing I ever do on a character since I find that pop up window so annoying, and if you set it to decline you don't get any notice at all - You have been asked multiple times by multiple people to stop doing it - if someone wanted to make an issue of it, you could be petitioned for harrassment.

Also, do you really think its appropriate to pick a fight right here in this thread?

Also, I think what you meant to say is: Thank you, Major T!

Once again, thank you Major T!

I can't believe you forgot Protector!

....we always knew you didn't really love us. *sobs*

Just let me know who to bring.

Happy Birthday!
