Drolgin..

Post by Akaran_D »

Okay you fucking bastards, just stop it. Every single game of this type I die in the first two or three days. If you've got issues with me, take it up with me! YOU FUCKING FUCKERS.
I think it's because of this.
You notice that in the recent rash of VV based games, the ones from the 'popular crowd' rarely play. In Mafia 1, Noel was likely the only heavily considered 'popular' person to take place in the game. I leave myself out of the equation because I am far from the most popular, irregardless of my post count.

Again, in Mafia2, Noel was the only person from the 'fnord' to take an active part. Winnow, Teeny and Shae all participated, but while active, they are not considered to be part of the overarching 'popular' crowd.

In Mafia3, you were the only real person of the fnord to join in on the fun. Thess jumped aboard, but I'm not quite sure how popular or commanding her presence is on the boards.

In Survivor, after two people largely disliked by the fnord were booted, your own group began to collapse, part from internal strife and part from external sources. Even if you had played in the game, it is likely you would have been expelled from the island long before Shae.. because it's a relative assumption that she isn't smart enough to be a threat, but annoying enough to inspire everyone else to wish to be rid of her.

So what's happening in these games where the 'fnord' and the so called popular crowd is placed in a situation where there is a larger base number of people that are neither popular, organized, respected, or people that simply have a post count to small to be afforded any level of familiarity by the board at large - you are a target. Simply because you are popular among your own set of friends, co-workers and fellow games does not necessarily make you and yours the most popular people on the boards.

So to answer your question...
Perhaphs you are not as well liked as you thought, or if you are, your luck has been bad enough to place you into the midst of people that would feel better without your presence as they attempt to enjoy whatever endeavor they are undertaking.

Or, on the other hand, it could be that you and yours are recognized as being highly intelligent and thus 'heads above the rest of us mere mortals', and are therfor placed into a higher threat category than the other players whom exist in the shadows of obscurity.

Food for thought.

I'm just going on a hunch, but... I think Drolgin's post was a display of sarcasm.

Damn, here I thought I was everyone's favorite person in the whole wide world...

I was in Mafia 2, btw. And I didn't play the Survivor thing.

I don't really understand what it is you're trying to do with this post. I can't figure out if you're trying to point fingers at me, saying 'hahaha every1 h8s u irl u just thought u were c00l' or if you're trying to pat me on the shoulder.

I guess I'll just scratch my head and go cry about how I'm disliked (or maybe not!) by people I don't know.

If there were a fnord, not that I'm saying there is or is not, but IF, Whoreno would certainly NOT be in it. :twisted:

Not that I'm saying there is a list... or if I'm on it, actually never thought I was but who knows... If there was a list I would guess it would come from everyone who's pic is on the Matrix banner... Of course since almost all of those people have changed their icons and some, :cry: Kyou, don't even post anymore that probably wouldn't work either...

Of course we could be talking about the sekret list that Sylvus keeps in the vault on WoW at Orgrimmer which we pass around between myself, Pyrella, Droglin, Noel, Laliana, Xou, and a few other "unnamed" people on WW... but just to make sure the last person in the list uses a super sekret feature that Furor snuck into WoW so that Sylvus can send the list to Sylvos on Hyjal for extra safe keeping... please note that Stragi NEVER gets to see this list :)

There obviously is no list.

This is not the list you are looking for.
