Relatively new site on MMOG theory and design.

[Lindorn]

I've been scoping the F13.net community on and off for the past few years and out of all of the so called "virtual world blogs, discussions, depots, etc" I find this site to have the most easily accessible and honest information I have yet found.  So I'd like to thank the F13 guys right off the bat.

<snip>

[schild]

If you'd been watching the site, you'd know better than to kiss some ass and then post a goddamn advertisement.

Fuck.

[Venkman]

Thank you schild. Their site is the same ol' same ol', fine if the world needed another hard-to-read site aggregating the same damned information as everyone else.

[Lindorn]

Well I certainly feel like a jackass now.  I apologize if I caused any offense.  For what it's worth it was unintentional.

Feel free to delete this entire thread.  No need for me to waste your time any further.

[cmlancas]

Your time has only just begun!

[lesion]

don't apologize! unleash the schlidcannons and shoot to grill! ride it to the den with a cowboy hat, yeeeee-aw

[raydeen]

First we played with thejeni, now we'll play with you! HA HA HA!!!

I made this for some other thread and then ended up not using it.  I'll post it here for no good reason.

[Soln]

I need f13 wallpaper.

And like a WUA bobblehead.

[Yegolev]

I need f13 wallpaper.

Top right of the page.

[Mrbloodworth]

Wasn't this in the den already?

[waylander]

Maybe the guy was a newbie here, did he really deserve a ban?

[cmlancas]

I don't think he got banned. Or did he?

[waylander]

I don't think he got banned. Or did he?

Maybe he didn't, but I thought he was a registered member at the time of the post.

[Murgos]

He was posting up a storm in one of the News threads yesterday.  Giving everyone shit about how they should talk nice to him and not use Haemishisms around him as they were offensive.  Don't think he said anything ban worthy though.  It's possible he deleted his account, if you can do that, he seemed fairly upset by it all.




Also, when they update the Oxford English dictionary I want full fucking credit for Haemishisms.

[schild]

No one banned him.

He's just a pussy.

[cmlancas]

Yeah, his crybabymeter went off at cockstab. Cockstab is tame for the interwebs.

[Lindorn]

If I came off as a crybaby that wasn't the intent.  You gave me a bit of shit, I respectfully asked you to tone it down, you agreed, and I thought everything was all good.  A few other people made some comments about how I should be able to "handle" it and gave me some additional shit, which I did take Schilds advice and ignored.  I simply said I was here for some good discussion and I feel I've been pretty consistent since I leveled with the moderators about the whole "link posting" situation.  I don't see why you all continually find it necessary to rub salt into the wound.  At this point you guys are continuing what was previously a resolved situation by just straight talking shit.

If asking someone or someones to keep it clean in a reasonable discussion is being a "pussy" then I can see how I would come off as King Pussy himself.  If not then just cut me some fucking slack guys and let it go...honestly it seems a bit childish at this point no?

[Engels]

F13 is only good for external entities when they have something really good or really bad on their hands. Its like that scene in the movies where the desperate man wants to contact that one guy he's heard of who can do the job, but at a terrible price. You don't call on f13 unless you want a world of crazy to come along with it.

Why does the f13 logo look like it belongs to some crappy band a fifteen year old would listen to?

You still play the same game you were playing when you were 15.

I don't think you should be judging.

Also, it's not the logo. It's just what happened when I was putzing around. The logo is still in the upper left of the forum.

Angst with wings, awesome.

When you come to a new forum, it's a pretty unspoken rule that "when in Rome" applies. I'm a member of several intarweb forums. In one of the Star Wars geek forums I frequent, harsh language is not allowed, and neither are trolling, flames or anything else that would violate it being a kid-friendly environment (despite the lack of any kids, because it's a massive geek board). Here on the other hand, you need to have a thick skin, as we have a very different culture where varying levels of profanity and joking insults/threats (and the occasional serious one) are part and parcel. I haven't read the other thread(s?) but if Haemish threatened to cockstab you in the eyeball or some such, I'd suggest you just ignore it till you're better established here, at which point you can tell him to fuck the fuck right fucking off. Fucker.

Schild, any plans to get that logo tattooed on you?

How is he not grief titled "King Pussy himself" yet?

Dude, haven't you figured it out yet? The internet is serious pussy.

What can I say about F13?  It's really my favorite website in the entire universe!  I love the irreverent banter and sly wit these keyboard jockeys produce.  And I especially love the staff, they're AWESOME.

I can't agree with this more--there is most definitely an "f-13 hazing phase" that goes on with new posters, and if you roll with the punches, you do wind up with some pretty damned intelligent people discussing your ideas--if you can take the heat, there are some damned fine munchies to be had in the kitchen ;)

Welcome to F13. We eat our own young.

[schild]

I don't know when people decided to start putting a hyphen between F and 13 but that shit has got to stop.

[Lindorn]

I don't walk away from any of this bothered by it.  If I did I would probably just pack my bags.  My natural reaction though in these situations is to just to make respectful requests and I think it is a pretty good policy overall.

And just to clarify, I'm not one of these people who has a problem with profanity or negative comments.  I see this and participate in it myself every day.  But when someone is openly talking shit to me rather than react in a hostile manner I do what I mentioned earlier.

[Lindorn]

Is that an attempt at a grammatical correction or something?

[cmlancas]

I don't think he attempted it, I think he did it.

So.... I think I may have missed the hazing phase since most people around here were in the "I told you so" phase with VG flopping.

[Yegolev]

I think you got lucky somehow.  Too many newbies to haze for a few weeks there.

As for the grammar, I think you could go either way with that.  Lindorn's version sounds more intellectual.
