Re: Common decency

Unfortunately there are (and have always been) a fair number of people who's humor I just really don't get. That is a clear example of one of them. It sucks, and I'm sorry it happened, but you were right to just blist and move on.

Just be on your merry way. This game has a fair share of assholes.

Re: Common decency

Like sense, decency isn't as common as one would like to believe. I know what you mean though. A couple years ago you'd never see something like that in this game.

Re: Common decency

Lol, that is hilarious. You wanted to call a GM on somebody because of a bannable offense, yet you didn't because of your own bannable offense. Interesting...

Re: Common decency

I'm of a mind to shamelessly point and laugh at their obvious inadequacies. Seriously, if the only way they can touch a rear end is via pixels on a video game you gotta know their porn files are so stuffed the game is probably running on half memory. Either that or they think it's cool to sneak crappy adult innuendoes into a video game when mommy's not looking. They've never seen a real person of the opposite sex sans clothing and they probably won't until they figure out that soliciting strangers for improper acts only works on big city street corners. And even then they gotta pay for it.

Don't let it phase you. Laugh and let it slide off your back. /point /laugh <pervert> {Run away!}

Yes I use a windowizer, but it does not affect my gameplay or the gameplay of others. Its banned because its much harder to run code with the game as it is. I dont cheat, so while I violate the word of the rules I dont violate the spirit of the rules.

Besides, with all the issues my laptop has, its easier to run FFXI with the windower than without. I dont have to disable Messenger, Vana'Navi, internet radio and so-on.

Re: Common decency

I had this quite a bit with my Mithra character. I haven't played her much in the past year and a half but before that I couldn't believe some of the things people said to me. XXX rated stuff! Most of them I handled with a couple /t's:

/t <idiot> Excuse me but do you have a grandmother?
*ya.........so.........?*
/t <idiot> Can you imagine doing to your grandmother what you just did to me?
*heh...thats f'in gross....f no!*
/t <idiot> well I AM a grandmother so just imagine THAT!

That pretty much took care of most of them. Believe it or not there were still a couple that would say they didn't care and continue with some very XXX comments to which I /blist'd them.

Re: Common decency

I have run into quite a few in this game that thought it was cool to be outright vulgar. Although most were just fleeting encounters, I do recall one in particular that would have been banned instantly had I called a GM.

I scratch it up to them being kids who enjoy having a place to say such things where a parent/teacher can't overhear them.

I always get the last laugh, if only to myself, because they have no way of knowing they are saying such things to a woman who is (most likely) older than their own mother. Hehe!

Re: Common decency

I nearly die from Acid Spray and ask a mage for a cure, very politely. They cast Cure 1, laugh at me and warp out. What the hell is with that? I'm sure she had enough MP, it would defenately have been helpful. -_-;

Anyways, that's probably not as bad. But I'm starting to get sick of kids acting and talking the way they do, just because it's more annonymous online. Especially when they carry on and act selfish. Really starting to get annoying. >.<;

LMAO

great throwback grandmom

I have had a few profanities thrown at me, I just RP into my character ( a Galka) and usually its some kid playing a taru or hume, in this case it was a hume, who came out with a comment.

"Your tails so big I bet you stick it up your ass for pleasure"

To which i reply.

"silence hume, you just proove how worthless your race is, we built this empire you reside in now get out of my sight before I crush your bones and feed you to a quadav (use Fume emote)."

There is always a pause after.... of which the person goes away. works every time for me. Mainly becasue you are not biting to their comment or showing that your shocked etc, they want to wind you up or shock you, if you don't react to that in the way they want you to, they get bored and go away (most of the time, if not its /blist).

**Nyru** · 05-18-2006, 04:30 AM

Re: Common decency

Although that is not vulgar, it is being a real jerk! Being a mage, I can tell you it's actually uncomfortable seeing someone with low HP. Or maybe that's just me.

No guarantee that was a kid, either. I have run into countless adults who would find such an act very amusing.

So much for the "We are all in this adventure together" mentality.

Sometimes I wish we could just intern the vast majority of teenagers from age 15 to, say, 23. In my dream world, they would be taught proper manners by force. There would, of course, need to be some method to exempt those youngsters who are polite and intelligent, but their boorish fellows really need to rot behind some good old fashioned barbed wire.
