"It's just a game.."

Maybe you are missing my point?

It is an insult but there is something different about this case. It's a fact
/end of my rampage

i really agree to what you say in yer initial post i gotta state, thati hardly believe the really "narrow" ones read forums even (tough hellraiser made me doubt my opinion in that one).
and for the red hair topic -> u shouldnt really be insulted by that for hellraiser cant even know yer sex from only meeting yer char (i know some guys, who play women mostly for example)

Now that i scammed this guy it taught him a lesson not to trust others online and maybe he wont be another guy that loses a supiror dragon sword or other precious items now that i taught him a lesson. Wasnt their a guy that said a sucker is born every minute.

Tales from the Crypt?

Seems so.
By your logical point of view, beating someone badly should convince him he needs to take kung-fu lessons.
Btw your English scares the hell out of me. Please stop posting, and if you can't do that, at least post in another language you know well.

mistress i agree with you one hundred percent. I would not by any will of my own subject myself to people such as hellraiser. I wonder whether these are his own views or whether he is doing this simply to star a raucous as his name implies. hellraiser how dare you think that because everyone else is doing something it is by definition right. just as there are those rare few that are strong enough to endure any circumstances there also happens to be those rare few that are genuinely good people. you may be someone looking for an excuse to insult others perhaps trying to justify your actions to alleviate your guilt. there is no justification simply learn to attone for what you have done and change you views on what is right and what is wrong.

So if i see some one who is fat i have the right to call them fat because its a fact?

I still dont understand where you are comming from. You are like the middleman.

Your point is well-taken, Hell Raiser. You stand by it as a bulldog over a bone. That's admirable. I can take your disagreement quite easily. You, quite honestly, don't bother me in the least. I just find your viewpoint uni-dimensional. I think everyone understands what you think:

1. IG insults are not RL insults.
2. If you don't like it, quit the game.
3. You are not like this IRL.

What did I miss?

Wow english insults/typing insults/grammer insults. Another backd up in the corner move.

Have you forgotten the rules already, Jasper? I'm sure a person of your opinion would have a good one to post here. Lets share in your point of view because you rarely try to hide it, am I right?
I'm sure you agree that rules of not posting pointless babble should be upheld.

Please stop brutalizing my beloved english language!! Pleeeeeease!!!

It's like nails on a chalkboard!! Write in French if you can, or in Spanish, but please stop posting things like that!

The irony.

Alright I cant hold back. THERE ARE RULES SET IN PLACE AGAINST SCAMMING. WHY CAN YOU NOT FOLLOW THEM LIKE THE DECENT PEOPLE AROUND HERE. IT'S BASICALLY THE SAME THING AS EXPLOITING. THIS IS NOT THE WAY THE GAME IS MEANT TO BE PLAYED AND DEFINITELY NOT THE ATMOSPHERE THAT WAS MEANT FOR IT TO BE PLAYED IN. WE'RE LUCKY A.NET IS AGAINST THIS SORT OF THING AND FIXES [or attempts to] THESE SORT OF THINGS.

[yes, my caps lock key is broken]
Really my last post in the thread

You are apparently right. I see no point to your activities. You have no right, as you say, to do the things that you seem to think you have the right to do. I see no point to insulting people. I see no point in acting like a complete ass, just because you can. I see no point in ruining other peoples game experience, in order to make yourself feel better.

You're right. I missed your point.

Nice argument, now that i realize every one here has the " your english is bad " argument. I can see i won the forum prize!

Yes, you would have the right to call him fat because he is fat. BUT your thinking is wrong. There is more than facts involved. They're called morals and decency

Exploiting and scamming are too different things. Scamming there is always one rule of thumb. If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is. I offered the guy 200k for a run to kryta. He even said him self he thinks its a scam but did it any way.

Oh, it's got nothing to do with the rules. I was just comparing you to another forum member that we all... sorely miss

And I thought you'd be grateful that I haven't posted in your thread!

Mistress Eyahl and others who think like her- You are 100% correct that others should not try to ruin the experience for others in one way or another. There is a real person behind the computer who has feelings. No one should try to hurt others' feelings, but realize, this is just a game, the person offending you does not know the real you. Their comments should be nothing more than the words of a person who has yet to understand you.

Hellraiser and others who think like him- You are also 100% correct that this is just a game. Most people do not truly know eachother and thus are making either comments for fun, or because they do not know the other person well enough, in either case, it should not offend them. Regardless, you have to know and understand that it does offend some people, and you should not do it for that reason.

In conclusion- both people need to realize and come to an understanding on what eachother feel is considered decent conduct. It falls on both people, to deal with the problem. The person being offended needs to learn that this is just a game, and most things said don't have any true weight, though they might hurt you at first. The offender also must know that there is a real person behind the character and regardless of if they had intended to hurt his or her feelings or not, it does hurt some.

There is a *MUTUAL* misunderstanding between the two people. It is not simply one is right and the other is wrong.
