It's just one example. You can't be picked from a list if the merchant in question is asking you to leave or telling you they won't be doing for you for whatever reason.

I just checked out this site for the first time about 15 minutes ago. I feel like I'm being obtuse, but I'm having a hard time understanding why everyone is so worked up over this. It's a website where you listen to some guy's ipod on random shuffle 23 hours of the day, and he apparently gives his opinions for an hour in the middle of the day about perceived slights in a make-believe world. Am I missing something?

Why is anybody taking any of this seriously?

>>so their money paid every month is better then mine?

Nobody said anything of the sort, and if you think they did, you need to re-read without a preconceived bias. What was said, is that people who are around more, will wind up with more. This makes sense, and is not inherently biased against anybody. I spend a lot of time logged into DR, my chances are far higher of attending, and thus winning, a randomly timed premium raffle than another premium subscriber who only plays 1 to 2 hours a day. It's not favoritism, it's simple logic.

The same applies to being present when an event goes down, or when an alterer shows up, etc. etc.

>>seems to me if everyone pays for a chevy, everyone should get a chevy.....not some getting Porches and others Yugos

Everybody does get the Chevy who pays for one. The better way to say it is that when they offer up a Porche, the people who are more likely to be around at that time are more likely to snatch it up. That doesn't make it unfair to anybody else who pays, because they still have their Chevy.

<<So basically you're saying that, A the players with the money to attend the cons, B the people with more free time then other players and C if I don't attend cons and have 20 hours a day to be IG, I am not hard core enough to qualify. So the better off financially, more free time having, able to travel the country people are more deserving of alterers, court posts, and events, then say the few hundred other players.>>

Uhm. No.

But this doesn't surprise me.

<<<Nijara says to you, "You will not get any work from me this evening due to your rudeness.">>>

>>amazing how my log differs from yours, especially considering I did in fact get an alteration from her 2 days later. But I suppose you are right and she and I were wrong. Can't sure stupid I suppose.....if you'd like to see the altered weapon I'd love to show you

Right. Because clearly I would go in and change a single word in a log. Holding a conversation with you is utterly pointless, so I'm not going to bother trying. Believe whatever it is you want to believe, the log I posted is what happened and there were plenty of people there that can confirm it if they care to.

-=Issus=-

I believe the wonderfully crafted battle axe Nijara altered for me. I'll show it to you some time. Like I said....can't cure stupid.

you deleted my post where I questioned you saying 90% of DR players don't care or are bad players, yet you continue to profess these forums as a place to bring your concerns Solo?

Hope you deleted your own post where you said that very same thing along with how thos that go to cons and sta logged in for unreal amounts of time are the ones that get the perks cause they are the only "hard core" players

<<you deleted my post where I questioned you saying 90% of DR players don't care or are bad players, yet you continue to profess these forums as a place to bring your concerns Solo?>>

I deleted your post that contained abusive, flaming, and insulting statements. The fact that you cannot read/comprehend what I said and are absolutely confused about the statements I made had nothing to do with it.

>>So 9 out of every 10 players either don't care about the game or aren't good players??? Are you serious or just ignorant?

Solomon said:

If A is true, then 90% of the time B is true

You read:

If B is true, then 90% of the time A is true

My question:

Are you serious or just ignorant?

>>Also, that web site had Cartman singing Oh Holy Night when I logged on. People are really taking this seriously?

I find this whole thing pretty bizarre, too. I've listened a bit to DRRadio, I've participated here and there in the chats. It's been fun and a bit entertaining. I don't know him, but I like the guy that runs it, and the fact that he fills all my requests. I'm not sure what spurred on this sudden eruption of rage by some folks, but it seems very strange to me.

It take it there was a post made somewhere by Solomon that I somehow missed, that led to all this? Can someone point me to it?

Thanks.

>amazing, only the people that don't care, even us that have been playing for 14 years, and bad players, skip the con.

>Has nothing to do with who can afford it, who can get away from actual real life commitments, who has the time. Nope its only the good players that care. The rest of us are uncaring bad players.

That's not at all what was said.

"All it means is that if you don't care about the game or aren't a good player, you're not going to come to a Con, nine times out of ten"

Translation: If you don't care about the game or aren't a good/serious player, chances are you won't go to a Con.

Why you're reading that as, "If you don't go to a Con you're a bad player," I have no idea. There were absolutely zero judgements made in the initial statement. You are perceiving judgements and slights where there are none.

I think its you missing the boat. You said 90% of people that do not go to con's don't care or are not good players.....your words not mine

or does 9 out of 10 not equal 90% to you?

He didn't say that. He said someone who isn't a good player or doesn't care won't go to a con 90% of the time. Which is NOT the same thing.

It's becoming increasingly more difficult to respond to you in a constructive manner.

What was said is not only sitting in front of you in text (you quoted it), but it's been spelled out for you by multiple account holders all saying the same thing.

You've reversed the statement and are reading it as if it implies that those who do not attend a Con are bad or hate the game.

What was said that if you don't take the game seriously or don't care much about the game then there's a (made-up) 90% chance you won't go to a Con.

Constructively I'd like to point out that it appears as if you're desperately searching for ways to be a victim at the moment, and that retards the ability of the people reading this forum to take your opinions and accusations seriously. I'd wager to say that many people are simply reading your posts for their own amusement right now, which is not a good thing if you're trying to make a serious point.

We're done here.

The text is eluding you.

Thread over before it just gets even more silly and irritatesome.

I have never understood why someone would think that people who have more free time and money would not have more in a game where you work to get things. It is this way in basically every MMO out there. It's like saying people who wait in lines for day after Thanksgiving sales have an advantage over people who don't have the time to spend all night in line and that everyone should have the same chance to buy a $5 laptop.

I have to say I didn't get a single alteration from the fest, and I'm fine with that. I'm not going around saying it's because I don't personally know any of the GMs because that's just as crazy as the ideas of the political party you don't agree with.

You turn a deep ebony lockpick case set with smooth onyx plates labeled "Graverobber" in the light, admiring it.

Okay just because I feel I have to chime in here a bit, being me and being part of the group that can afford to go across country.

I have been to nearly every Simucon since 2002 or 2003, I can't remember anymore as Algion, I am going to ensure some of you that the people attending Simucon generally do not get preferential treatment, if anything what we do is watching more closely by the GMs because they have MET us, they expect MORE from us, we are like their kids, albeit the black sheep. Every family has those children that should have done better, were too smart to screw up like that, were way too blah blah blah... Well welcome to being a Con goer, when WE screw up its treated most times more harshly than those they don't have a vested interest in.

I have been yelled at and locked out, mostly because of my mouth, but to a greater degree than most of the non "Con goers" would have been, I took however long for having a small arguement with Bubba... We ARE treated differently, but not in the way that you think... I didn't sign up for a raffle or an alterer this fest... could I have gotten one? Maybe, maybe not, but I just had a wedding and had a bunch of altered stuff made, let someone else get some stuff IMO.

Lets get serious people, Sebastienne is treated differently because of immense amounts of RP, Ignifera as well... Issus because they feel bad he is a Bard, toss the guy a bone. However, our actions in game be it scripting, pvp, our roleplay are all judged more harshly because we are the ones who traveled across country, who spend 20 hours a day in game (15-16 for me thank you, I need sleep!) and all the others things for one reason, WE SHOULD KNOW BETTER.

Sorry Issus, couldn't help myself.
