Re: MapleStory

Man, tl;dr'd after Banditcom's post about ending in "Americans generally refers to people living in the United States" or something.

My opinion is that I like most Americans. I would come to like Japanese if I spoke Japanese, but hey, I don't. I don't dislike them, I just look at them with neutrality.

I do, however, like many people FFR doesn't. In fact, the way I view people is almost the opposite of that of FFR. I love weeaboos, the 13 year olds you consider "annoying"(they're actually pretty cool, and can be cute. Now I know coming from me, that sounds sexual, but it really isn't), the SG/MY, the hackers, etc.

However, I hate people who waste time. Specifically, my time. There's nothing more annoying than a kid in a PQ who takes 30 ****ing seconds to go from #1 to #2 while we yell at him/her.

Also, I love to listen to people rant. It actually calms me down.

You're taking it too literally I think. Sure, we're making a generalization, but just because there are a handful of cool people on GMS doesn't mean that most of them are like that. Which is exactly what a generalization is. I know there are cool people in GMS, it's just that I have to ask myself, do I want to put the time in to find those people? Or can I just go to a place where I know the people are GENERALLY kinder? It's not black and white. I understand where you're coming from, but generalizations aren't 100% true. You should know that. It's no excuse, but I'm just saying.. I think you're taking it a bit too literally when Noah and Chris are saying LAWL AMERICANS ON KAEDE SUCK BALLS HAX HAX HAX. Sorry if I'm putting words into their mouths, this is just what I think.

And pessimism is completely relevant. They don't even try to make friends in the game or be social. They avoided it from the very beginning, only being social with us from FFR.

Again, I am not in Bera. I do not know what they are like around the guild or anyone else for that matter, other then the contact that I've had with them via AIM or JMS. Avoiding people doesn't neccessarily imply that someone is being pessimistic. It doesn't mean they are thinking "I think that all people are retards and thus I shall not make an effort to talk to any of them." Maybe something happened between friends and they didn't want to start it up again. Maybe they were content with the friends they already had. You have the right to make that generalization, but I just don't think you should use it to justify your point when there really is no evidence of it (from my understanding). Again, I'm this useless kid who has no idea, really, what has happened on Bera so I am a bit limited in what I can say.

"People cutting off other people while driving is a general situation." Yeah and so is murder, which happens every day. lawl guess the majority of us are murderers too!

Because you witness a murder everyday right? I get cutoff almost everyday. I would consider that a general situation. Just like I brush my teeth everyday and swim everyday. Unless you're homocidal, I doubt you witness, personally, a muder everyday.

Oh and comparing GMS to JMS, which are widely different age groups ("American" gamers are much younger than the "Japs").. Yeah, nice one. Plus rofl guess what? I'm told by EVERYONE in JMS not to ever speak English in public because the Japs (oh noes was told this is an offensive term in JMS) will get mad and ****. Yeah, they are real nice.

I bet the Africans think Japan is selfish too. All context and viewpoints. Which comes back to the pessimism and why it is relevant.

I understand that maturity is a factor, but also remember that I'm basing my arguments off of when I was actually living in Japan with kids of all ages. And you're told by everyone to not speak in English in public? Noah and I do it all the time. And the "japs" (this is an offensive term in general. Used during WWII in the internment camps. My grandma told me this because she was IN one for the majority of her childhood.) probably get annoyed in Kaede because there are so many English speaking players who DON'T MAKE AN EFFORT to learn the Japanese language. Japanese people are all about respect. You can't automatically expect respect from someone when you don't have the decency to be respectful towards their culture.

Reason I bring this up: I have many wonderful friends in game, so I find it very insulting.

I know. I'm not insulting you. I agree with you. But I also agree with Noah and Chris. It's all on context and viewpoints right? So in this case, nobody is wrong and nobody is right.

And Mal, I was exaggeratting it to prove my point. That's how the media reacted, which is probably what 99% of society thinks at this point. Which proves my point even further.

And really, I don't want to argue. We all have our friends, online, offline, GMS, JMS, but all that matters is that we're having fun right? So Jason, you can stay in GMS. I'm staying in JMS. I understand why you like GMS better and I hope you understand my thinking of JMS and the community.

Re: MapleStory

About to go to work so I can't say all I want to, but I'll just go with this:

Japanese people are bashed in the head with respect from the day they're born.
Americans are bashed in the head with selfishness (yay capitalism!) from the day they're born.

This has a huge effect on how people will generally treat you in either society.

Are you asking us for your password?

The only account hackers I know are people who take it and do not give it back(one of them is a real life friend who hacks into accounts, sells the items on ebay, and buys crack with the money), so they won't be of much assistance.

Re: MapleStory

Sometimes when you request a new password, the e-mail sends the verification code with extra space and it doesn't work.

Make sure when you copy the code from your e-mail, you don't have any spaces before or after the long string of letters and numbers.

I would rather be selfish to better myself and be original than be passive and the same as everyone around me.

And that is how MalReynolds became a chat mod.

Anyways, I may, or may not, be on MS for a while. I've been busy playing Audition. Meh, I'll soon get bored with it. But I'll probably play MS every now and then. I'm still lvl 50 and 4% from lvl 51.

**ToshX** · 03-5-2007, 11:12 AM

Re: MapleStory

So you said it was good but you're already getting bored of it?

You have really low standards.

I've been playing GunZ nearly everyday for the past year and a half. It is a good game, but with flaws.

Or, rather in an example everyone can relate to. I've been at FFR nearly every day now for over 3 years. But that isn't playing games, that's just discussion, which always changes and almost never gets old.

**IAAW** · 03-5-2007, 11:33 AM

Re: MapleStory

Not bored of Audition, really. Just I know I will get bored of it in due time. Maybe in a year or so, I don't know.

**ToshX** · 03-5-2007, 12:05 PM

Re: MapleStory

Somehow, I doubt it'll take anything near a year.

Re: MapleStory

Well, I just passed my Bopper test, so I'm pretty happy.
