I realized that sometime after I hit send upon rereading my post. Thank you for pointing it out, though, as it gives me an excuse to post in the thread to clarify something before my words get misconstrued.

My earlier point about powers being on in Pocket D is this.. we've now been supplied numerous areas in the game where absolutely no powers are active save perhaps the Vaz disease, one of them being co-op. If people choose not to use them and instead stay in the public areas where powers aren't deactivated then save obvious griefing with teleporting or summoning, the most someone can do with their powers is be rude to you and that's simply something you have to be ready to deal with if you choose not to use the areas where powers are disabled.

The ability to do a thing does not grant you free permission to use that ability to harrass or annoy others. Or do you not have any manners?

Another way to put it: if playing on a public area is agreeing to the possibility of harrassment, then harrassing me is agreeing the possibility of being reported.


Story Arcs I created:

Every Rose: (#17702) Villainous vs Legacy Chain. Forget Arachnos, join the CoT!

Cosplay Madness!: (#3643) Neutral vs Custom Foes. Heroes at a pop culture convention!

Kiss Hello Goodbye: (#156389) Heroic vs Custom Foes. Film Noir/Hardboiled detective adventure!

Huh.... I wonder if the snowman would even feel that...

I can do this....... two questions:

  1. Is that really not normal? and...
  2. Is that BAD that I can do that?

It's amazing the lengths some folks will go to justify boorish behavior, when it's so much easier to just show some respect for those around them and exhibit some basic politeness.


Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

What, only one?

Come on, I ran a tradewars hub and MajorMUD!

Still one of the bestest games ever.

I remember when 14400 baud came out. It was godly. ANSI graphics just flew past!

You'd think so, wouldn't you?

tekken 6 dissappointed me. the story mode leaves a lot to be desired, and given the different control setup, i found my favoirte character, hworang, to have lost most of his best moves. the core vurses game is solid, but i cant say i was thrilled with it.

LORD rocked. Loved Tradewars too.

Setup my own BBS at one point as well, but only to understand how it worked. Never had anybody join up as I did not have any dedicated phone lines.

I remember when the BBS I hung out at got the new modem bank. 12 modems, all 14.4. Good times back then, good times.

1: Is being a bully normal?

2: yes. It is bad.


Ignoring anyone is a mistake. You might miss something viral to your cause.

A snowball fight could be considered PvP gameplay.

Dunno about his/her but 9 tails? Yikes. Stay away from rocking chairs.

Only one at 2400. My other computer had a 1200 as a back-up.

But yeah, I'm glad the BBS wasn't in my house. It was a big BBS with 32 phone lines and there were 4 Sysops, one of whom had all those phone lines running to his house.

I am not capable of judging normal.
I am not capable of judging you either.

I cannot turn off my feelings. I am of the opinion that most people cannot. I offer as evidence in support of my opinion: any discussion that ever degenerated into an argument.

I chuckled at this because I thought it was funny that someone managed to click on the O Port.

Man, it's fun laughing at other's minor misfortunes.

and you want to type lolRP?

Um. I don't know how to break this to you, but every time you log into the game and you pick a server, YOU HAVE ALREADY BEGUN A ROLE PLAY SESSION. Let me make this as clear as I can. EVERY SINGLE SERVER IS A ROLEPLAYING SERVER:

WHETHER OR NOT YOU LIKE IT YOU ARE A ROLEPLAYER


So please. Knock off the whole lolRP line. If that's how you feel, this is the wrong game for you.

uh, no. Big text doesn't make it true. lolRP.


Infinity and Victory mostly
dUmb, etc.
lolz PvP anymore, Market PvP for fun and profit

Whoever responded to this quote above with the following feedback:

1- It is indeed abnormal. 2- It is not necessarily good or bad, but in all seriousness, please ask your doctor about Asperger's Syndrome and whether you might be affected.


I actually WAS diagnosed with Asperger's just about a year ago, and I've been learning more and more about it ever since. What I have learned so far, does explain a LOT of things, including a lot of the difficulties I've had relating to people, just as an example.

It was me. I was clicking on people and checking global names... and accidentally clicked on the Ourob portal. Had a good chuckle about it at the time (after a bit of cursing).

And for anyone who ever suffers from this exact same problem, my IC comment when I got back was "Sorry I had to vanish so quickly - sudden call of nature."


The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise. ; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.*

That depends Westley, whether you can really "turn off" your emotions, or whether you can set them aside and think and react rationally (in other words, the emotions are still there, not off, and you are simply adjusting your reactions with the understanding that your emotions may be affecting them.)

If you can really just "turn off" your emotions, instead of just adjusting for them, then you may wish to seek some counseling (not from the Council, however, they have issues. I hear that the 5th Column Vampire Mesmerists have degrees in Psychology, but rely too much on Freud. There's a cute Carny fortuneteller I know with a PHD in abnormal psychology. . . .)
