romeo_longsword Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Hello, I ask myself, what is wrong with me! Sometimes, looking back to the message I typed, I found it really quite defensive, and even sometimes, aggrassive! What the hell is wrong with me, I rarely, or never speak and interact in such a way in real life, I would like to consider myself as an easy going person, but looking at some of the communication I had with others, its messed up!
Weiser_Cain Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I'm actually more agressive/offensive in real life. But I know what you're talking about. I wonder if the fact that there is virtualy zero reprecusions(social and physical) for being a jerk somehow take the breaks of restraint. Yaw devs, Yaw!!! (
Volourn Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 More aggresive? Nah. I'm an aggressive jerk everywhere. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Ellester Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Actually I'm the same. For the most part I'm laid back, but I can be an ass if I want to be, in real life or on-line.

romeo_longsword Posted December 14, 2004 Author Posted December 14, 2004 I regret a lot of situations where I sounded rude. But having said that, I bloody hate thouse people who trying to kiss the butt of sombody important within the community, and use other people as a platform. The other kind of people I feel out spoken to, are thouse 'role-player' who expolit 'somthing I could not find a word for it' to gain attention. For example, a person play a female character, and show off herself, and role-play relationship with another character, making them doing things to her advantage. I met this one female character, who emotes herself, "smile brightly" or 'smile bright' after every dam line she say. Even when its a conversation where she is not the centre of attention, she would emote somthing like, "run her fingers through her silky hair". It took all my will power to resist myself to tell her that she is most unplesent to have around. But thats is not as bad as thouse Roleplay Nazi, where they PM you every 2 second to do a roll on how well you've swimed across the river, jumped and cook. The worse part is, they are one of thouse who trying to show off their RP skill, at the same time, openly expose other people who is not as experienced in expressing themselves as characters. In which, make themsleves look good. Sometimes, DM look for players to award, rather than, spoted smthing rp well. When they see sombody clearly showing off with detialed expression, these up their own butts people get the reward. While, I saw another player trying to help a new person to RP did not even get noticed. These things, made me very outspoken, and somtimes, agreesive.

Nartwak Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 La la la~! I don't know what the hell you're on about; but I'm getting pissed.
Langky Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I dont know how I act Its just one of those things when you struggle to precieve the way you come across to people but then again thats always been a problem for me. Im also paranoid but thats more to with growing up in country where the majority of people dont like you because your white trash but thats not an Issue I would like to go into. I think I come across probably as an absent minded, raving, loonie (w00t) which something what Im like to people in person, unless I know you well in which case Im an as$hole as well. EDIT: I have a deep self loathing problem something to do with how I grew up so that might taint my preception of myself
Phosphor Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I don't know what the hell you're on about; but I'm getting pissed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He's talking about playing games on-line (I'm guessing NWN here). Like with anything, there are sometimes some annoying people on PW servers, and I know the kind Romeo is referring to. They can be extremely annoying in little ways that make you irrationally angry.
Nartwak Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I was making a joke Phosphor: becoming irrationally angry over his post in a thread about becoming irrationally angry.

Oh and yes I'm as sarcastic, if not moreso, in real life than I am on here. I'm actually quite nice online compared to offline. :D "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
Langky Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I often end up in fights in real life, if that tells you anything.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Fights are fine as long as your on the right side. I mean in Zimbabwe me and my friends ganged up on this racist fellow and told him to better cut that sh!t out we dont tollerate that sh!t being said to our friends and acquaintences, or anybody really. He would apologize enough said .
Nartwak Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 If it makes you feel better, I caught your joke. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks. :D

Cantousent Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I fall under the "more aggressive" in real life, at least in rancorous conversations. I find that the internet allows me time to cool down when writing a message. That period is simply unavailable to me in a normal discussion. Overall, though, I like folks and so I get along with virtually everyone. However, I am set in my convictions, which sometimes leads to less than friendly exchanges. SO, I have a lot of friends, but my friends and I aren't always on friendly terms. I'm a rather demanding friend, but I'll drop everything to help a friend in need. *shrug* As far as getting in fist fights in real life, I haven't been in a real fight for years and I don't intend to go out of my way to change that. Partly because I rather like most folks and partly because I think it's ridiculous to pride yourself on being aggressive. There's also the fact that I've learned over the years to have a good appreciation for the sanctity of my body, and fighting hurts, dammit. Then there's the fact that I'm 35 years old and it would be silly to go around like I was 19, looking to fight people for stupid reasons. Being aggressive isn't a good thing. It's simply a necessity. Being a nice, decent person on or offline is a good thing. ...And I promise you that most of the folks I know from online would spend an awful lot of time looking at their shoelaces rather then jumping up to mix it up with other folks. People can always talk tough online about how they are offline.

Diogo Ribeiro Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I'd have to say I'm always the same anywhere, everywhere. But then again I don't consider the internet, or rather social interaction in it, to somehow be a "fake life", so...
Sarjahurmaaja. Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 So, it's that bad for you, RP? 9/30 -- NEVER FORGET!
Sarjahurmaaja. Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I was going to say something witty here, but then I noticed I'm not very good at it and stopped trying to. 9/30 -- NEVER FORGET!
jaguars4ever Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 I was going to say something witty here, but then I noticed I'm not very good at it and stopped trying to. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ::pats Sarja on back:: There, there now....we can't all be gifted. :D
Sarjahurmaaja. Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 "There, there now....we can't all be gifted." Yeah, but at least people like you and me don't have to fear being backstabbed by brilliant and rapier like wits when unleashing it upon a physically superior yet mentally more insecure specimen. Lucky us, eh? 9/30 -- NEVER FORGET!
Big_Foot Posted December 14, 2004 Posted December 14, 2004 Go ahead and be aggresive, no one will knlw it,s you and its the only time you can have fun and get with your inner rage and agressiveness
