apologies for the double post.

as nightbloom stated in her original thread directed at me, i AM the head of my guild and union. my guild and union are both against popping. as such, it is my duty to kill poppers. it's nothing personal. furthermore, i posted those quotes to a) exhibit for nightbloom that her allegations against me were false, and b) highlight the fact that i was avidly speaking out against the actions of my union against you, ryoko. i don't appreciate it being turned around on me.

again, it's nothing personal. if i caught a guildie popping, i'd kill him too. right after i booted him.

EDIT: i had attempted to keep my personal stance on popping out of this discussion. you people seem hell-bent on forcing me to take a side. whstever i do in game has nothing to do with how i act on here, just as moogie was trying to express.

i dont let anyone in my guild pop. but if i caught them poping, i would not boot them. they all respect me enough not to do it. (trade bots dont count as poping)

if i was a hunter and a friend poped a 1 star, id never kill a friend.

im a leader of a guild, does that have to make me choose between freinds and duty? cuz if it does, skrew the guild, lets have a party.

How can you tell if someone's trade botting? I've never experienced/seen one.

....so much for not replaying to me anymore. man, did i call THAT one.

please reread my original post. better yet, i'll quote it. pay extra attention the the bolded part.


yeah, you did read that right this time. it says that that's what i thought moogie was suggesting. MY opinion appears.... where? oh yeah. nowhere. sorry to bother you w/ that one. next time i'll try to actually have a flaw in my logic, so you don't look silly trying to invent them.

as to the "vicarious sadist" comment - a) i never referred to Ryoko as one. i referred to the type of gamer who plays their character like an asshole because they don't have the balls to do so in real life a vicarious sadist. which, i might add, is clearly stated in my statement in the post you so kindly quoted for our readers. nowhere in any of that did i lump Ryoko into ANY of my categories, did i now? RIGHT AGAIN! i made no such judgement. b) since this is a THREAD about 1*-popping, i used the hot topic - poppers - to illuminate this theory. feel free to substitute the words "KSer", "scammer", "botter", "griefer", etc. in place of that word. it applies to all of them. regardless of your - or my - stance on popping, the fact can NOT be disputed that it does cause SOME grief to SOME people, and as such it can clearly be described in the same manner as the other words in that list i just enumerated.

the average person isn't picking apart my words trying to find ways to discredit me, so i didn't think this had to be overtly stated. clearly, i underestimated your desire to make me look bad. forgive me. next time i'll endeavour to make sure that even those of us who are overanalyzing what i say are satisfied with the vaguity of my responses.

despite your efforts to the contrary, you're not going to be able to turn my words around on me to make me seem like i don't like ryoko, that i have judged him, or that i'm some kind of idiot, which is what you seem to be trying to do. not sure why you're personally attacking me, since i've done nothing to you. until now, i had considered us friendly. but if you wish to bandy words and wits, be my guest. at the end of the day, Ryoko knows how i feel, and anyone who is willing to be swayed by your hastily put-together and poorly conceived arguments simply doesn't matter to me.

Ryoko, i apologize for hijacking this thread. nightbloom, feel free to PM me if you wish.

that leaves two types: people who play their characters they way they live, and people who play the way they want to live. in both of these cases, it becomes clear that people's actions in-game are in some way based on reality. in the first case, a popper does what he does because he is generally a selfish person. he knows what he wants and does what he needs to do to get it, regardless of consequences to any but himself. in the 2nd case, the popper pops remorselessly because he would never have the balls to do something like that in real life. vicarious sadism, in a way.

my point is that it's not illogical to associate someone's in-game actions with their RL personality; on the contrary, i feel they are directly linked, in the ways outlined above. therefore, it is completely appropriate for Moogie to lose respect for someone she previously held in high regard as a result of something they've done in-game.

I am defending my friend Ryoko. Friendly? Sure, we are as friendly as we have ever been.

=) Are weeeeeeeeeeee friendly, nightbloom?
