The status quo isn't always the best thing.

November 25, 2013 06:15AM
I hate the mentality that any complaint is a whine.

And for every person that is vocal about their distaste for the state of things there is a greater number that aren't.

I've never made an "I'm leaving" thread. But I just about don't play anymore, I try sometimes, but the spark is pretty much gone. And it's often not that far away from the reasons given for the people who are more vocal about it, if a little less dramatic. I can see why you would feel that way. I can see why you'd want to be convinced you're wrong and post about it too.

Simple reasons I don't play as much: I don't like most of the players left. QHCF is boring now. I cannot think of a single imm left that I am fond of (except Sacer but he is pretty hands off aside from adding some neat stuff). I am especially not fond of imms stepping in and crapping all over my player to player immersion, however infrequently. Seeing what's happened to Empire now is bordering the nail in the coffin, and that bit with Drond, ugh, it's just mostly dead to me.

Things change, people change, culture changes, the overall resultant direction just happens not to mesh with me. Which is a little depressing considering the 1000's of hours I spent on this game.

And yeah, Baer and her new crop of shit-butt baby-imms leaving would be much more in my direction, but I know it's not going to happen.

This is just getting fucking stupid.

Doof November 24, 2013 09:50AM

THIS IS JUST GETTING FUARKIN STUPID

Batman November 25, 2013 09:29AM

Is that a pic of one of the imms or just a random pic?~ (n/t)

ekirhal November 26, 2013 02:58AM

It's a real pic of Daevryn. (n/t)

JimmyDean November 26, 2013 03:15AM

These were pretty funny, Bat. Especially the first one. (n/t)

DurNominator(VIP) November 25, 2013 11:22AM

Those are awesome. (n/t)

Scrimbul November 25, 2013 09:50AM

The bitching about the whip is particularly fucking stupid.

Dalbrin November 25, 2013 08:06AM

Here's what you don't understand.

Death_Claw November 25, 2013 10:13AM

One of the coolest rp rewards out there is "Temple vestments", imho (n/t)

NbM(VIP) November 26, 2013 08:24AM

You are wrong

Nurok November 26, 2013 08:11AM

Though reading the leaked helpfiles this morning, it looks like certain people do indeed get slapped with a probationary flag.

Dalbrin November 25, 2013 08:09AM

Is this true? That would explain a lot but I don't expect to much so its all good. (n/t)

funnyone November 25, 2013 09:43AM

It's IP address based and usually broad...

JimmyDean November 25, 2013 09:00AM

The status quo isn't always the best thing.

RobDarken November 25, 2013 06:15AM

The thing about whining.

wrathpuppet November 25, 2013 08:10AM

Alternatively...

JimmyDean November 25, 2013 02:35AM

Having gone to that site. There was no actual useful information shared.

tesline November 25, 2013 05:09AM

You're full of crap.

PaulO November 25, 2013 06:20AM

Don't forget megalomaniacal narcissists like me.

igsoeh November 26, 2013 08:01AM

That made me laugh. I needed that, thanks. (n/t)

funnyone November 26, 2013 04:19AM

Well said

Bemus-ed November 25, 2013 02:21PM

Regardless of responses or being an old Imm, you are as always amazingly insightful. (n/t)

Scrimbul November 25, 2013 09:55AM

Merciless veterans, indeed.

slevnin November 25, 2013 07:47AM

I'm not full of crap. I just know how to gravitate toward people that know what they are doing.

tesline November 25, 2013 06:28AM

His last sentence he wrote is all about you. (n/t)

funnyone November 26, 2013 04:20AM

Okay, let's make it all about you.

PaulO November 25, 2013 06:45AM

Again lets detract away from the point of it again. If I was able to do this. Why can't someone do the same?

tesline November 25, 2013 06:46AM

Wut? Imagine you've never mudded before, logging into CF.

sevriis November 25, 2013 07:10AM

Yep.

RobDarken November 25, 2013 07:37AM

The point is I think you're full of crap.

PaulO November 25, 2013 06:51AM

I started a little more than three years ago.

tesline November 25, 2013 12:17PM

Nope.

PaulO November 25, 2013 06:46PM

My first character was two before dobi. It was a cloud giant sword spec.

tesline November 25, 2013 06:55PM

I get your main point

PaulO November 25, 2013 07:16PM

What someone can do in a year varies

zannon November 26, 2013 04:23AM

I still feel like it is the lazy person's site. I worked to find that information and now it's just handed out.

tesline November 25, 2013 07:26PM

I'm too lazy to register there and see for myself whether they have something I don't. (n/t)

Murphy November 26, 2013 03:08PM

Re: I'm not full of crap. I just know how to gravitate toward people that know what they are doing.

miyatzi November 25, 2013 06:33AM

Well done. You completely missed the point. If I could do it why can't someone else? (n/t)

tesline November 25, 2013 06:35AM

that's silly. i've played for 16 years and still learn some things from there. nt

The Forsaken November 25, 2013 06:19AM

I stopped going to that site months ago. All the info seemed to be basic stuff so it was pointless. (n/t)

tesline November 25, 2013 06:21AM

Everything was something you should of learned in your first year of CF

physics November 25, 2013 05:49AM

Bullshit.

Death_Claw November 25, 2013 10:21AM

The magic of it is. There is people in game that actually knew this information before I joined.

tesline November 25, 2013 02:28PM

Yeah, people who were compiling their own lists. n/t

Death_Claw November 26, 2013 10:30AM

Yea the key to learning the game was doing this magical thing. Asking questions. My first year that is all I did and explore. (n/t)

tesline November 25, 2013 05:50AM

Yeah - did you learn Twist's explore and observation list? Bullshit -nt-

physics November 25, 2013 08:53AM

Actually Twist is part of the reason I know so much. He taught me Ktengs and told me about ten or so wands.

tesline November 25, 2013 02:27PM

Twist taught my first hero a ton of shit. (n/t)

wrathpuppet November 25, 2013 02:30PM

**Cough** Bullshit **Cough**

Nurok November 25, 2013 05:46AM

I did. Look up Ceje. (n/t)

tesline November 25, 2013 05:46AM

Still, your statement is nonetheless...bullshit. Pleanty of stuff average noob can learn there that would take him TONS of time to pick up otherwise (n/t)

Nurok November 25, 2013 05:47AM

On another note I'm really getting tired of looking back at my past characters and remembering the fun I had playing.

tesline November 25, 2013 05:59AM

For all the crap you claim to know, you took the first most basic step to not being Funnyone, congrats. (n/t)

Scrimbul November 25, 2013 10:05AM

I stopped posting so we both don't get banned for talking about "super-secret CF sauce" (n/t)

Nurok November 25, 2013 08:09AM

There is a ton of stuff but that site didn't really include any of it.

tesline November 25, 2013 05:51AM

Their wand list was twice the length of mine, but then I'd been playing less than a year (n/t)

Elystan November 25, 2013 05:17AM

Dissent is fine. Whining is stupid. I hope I addressed your entire post. (n/t)

Doof November 25, 2013 05:04AM

Except you and your buddies treat every dissenting opinion as a whine.
