View Full Version : Flimbo Meltdown (We're Toxic)

From the boards:


I'm just going to come right out and say it. We as a playerbase are defective people. And I say that with the full intention of also including people in general as being flawed, of course. But for one reason or another, text games seem to have a higher percentage of players that are mentally imbalanced in some way, shape, or form. It may have something to do with some of us having never moved on from an earlier time in life, as most of us have played for 20+ years, on and off. I don't know. I'm not a psychologist, and that's just a wild guess.

But it should be said that we have one of the most absolutely toxic communities of people short of 4chan on the internet. It should be said because we as players need to be the ones who address it. If the company would like to encourage and help that process, all the better, but it's not their job.

And no, "It's the internet" is not the correct response, nor an accurate one. I've been on the internet, like all of you, for many years. Having come back to Gemstone in 2015, I can say that a large number of people here seem desensitized to just how toxic an atmosphere Gemstone has compared to the internet at large. Having come back from a decade long hiatus or so, I was able to look in from the outside, and I was floored.

Harassment is not only accepted, but encouraged in certain large, loud circles (The other forums, Lnet, these forums in a more rule-skirting way, the wiki. Yes, the wiki.). It's applauded by those who find it entertaining. Egged on by those who find it boring to not be participating in or watching people spew bile at each other. We're adults. Interacting with other adults. What the hell?

The first step to rectifying the situation is acknowledging it. We are, on the whole, horrible to one another, and it needs to stop. You may find it entertaining to watch or egg on people fighting about nonsense, but it only serves to give you fewer people to play with, one at a time. It lowers new player retention. It drives old players away. And yes, I know a good number of people don't participate in any of that, but it's the loud minority that has become accepted over time. Celebrated even. If we just keep ignoring it, only bad can come of it.

Why is this title "Flimbo Melt Down". Your title is proving his point. Then you all want to call him a snowflake for writing a coherent post explaining his position on things. Obviously his words aren't hysterical or melt downish.

We all know a lot of the PC folks are full blown cunts. Grown dudes stalk others to neg rep them! Seriously? What kinds of bitches do that shit? How mental must a man be to get so agro about this stuff yet we choose to engage with these folks.

Most everyone I've met on GSIV seems like good people but the few bitches are definitely toxic.

I think that's kind of the point. It's super easy to ignore/untune the small amount of trolls, but he's claiming that it's the community at large that is somehow damaged and toxic. And he knows this because he's "an outsider" who is not damaged or toxic himself.

Yeah...this. It was weird enough when we were all kids, but the fact that some folks persist with this need to harass other players is sad.

What's even weirder is when the people doing it don't even play this game any longer.

You all can't back that up based on his 5 short paragraphs. Might as well just admit that there is way for him to write out his thoughts on this subject without being denigrated by a lot of people here.

Why don't you just take a step back, lower your defenses and re-read his message. Then respond to the merits of his message or not. Otherwise, like I said before, you're simply proving his point.

I don't think he should point fingers at people when he himself is guilty of being toxic. I find him to be annoying and attention seeking. He's one of those people who desperately wants to be liked, and when he realizes that he's not liked, he has to blame everyone else as the reason, instead of looking at his own actions/personality.

The problem is he's full of shit, he's a hypocrite, and doesn't have the first clue what he's talking about, i.e. GS being directly responsible for Warclaidhm offing himself.

He's also easily butthurt and then projects his bullshit issues on everyone else.

Hardly a meltdown. I have to agree with his post. I've met some seriously deranged people in my years playing on-line text games. I'm not even going to repeat some of the weird shit I've seen some people pull.

On the other side of it, though, everyone I've met in person from any of the games I've played, or even here from the PC, have been good peeps.

I think the mask of anonymity really can bring out the worst in people. Thankfully as we progress the internet is moving away from being the wild west and getting policed and cleaned up.

Hardly a meltdown. I have to agree with his post. I've met some seriously deranged people in my years playing on-line text games. I'm not even going to repeat some of the weird shit I've seen some people pull.

On the other side of it, though, everyone I've met in person from any of the games I've played, or even here from the PC, have been good peeps.

I think the mask of anonymity really can bring out the worst in people. Thankfully as we progress the internet is moving away from being the wild west and getting policed and cleaned up.

Yes, because regulating the internet is going to make it better. Government ruins everything.

Good day sir!

Well, to be fair, it was Maimara that made that claim.

Hardly a reliable source.

Is that Bethany? I don't remember.. I just remember laughing, a metric shit ton.


Wasn't it Spun Girl who said, "Everything looks small when compared to the Grand Canyon."

lolol, I miss Spun Girl.

Ditto. Didn't she become a GM?

or the best.

The joy of being anon is that the only thing that matters is what you have to say.

Once you get tough skin it doesn't matter!

It was Betheny. I'm not sure which handle came first but they were both hers. And I think you are right, Spun did become a GM. No idea if she still is though.

edit: I think Maimara was her character in game and, once she stopped playing, she changed it on the PC to Betheny.

Yeah, Maimara was her in game. I remember imploding that shit out of that ho when I had access to Ryever.

Thats silly. The great life we enjoy in this country is due to government. If there were no laws, no enforcement, no punishment, it would be absolute chaos.

Ryever was a ho too. I don't think there's anyone in game who didn't own that character at one time or another.

You were trolled masterfully and subtly. Like getting killed by a kung fu master from a single, gentle punch, or smelling a fart without ever even hearing it.

Because we either have to have full government or absolutely none.

There is no middle ground.

I can't remember who all I've pwned! I do remember killing this dude on Christmas morning and he said "Merry Christmas" and logged off. I felt bad. Not because I killed him, but because I was playing GS on Christmas morning.

Meltdown aside, I think that his premise is wrong too

Never had a problem with anyone being toxic at all, and I rile up the trolls a lil bit here n there

I mean people throw shit at me, but ...it's like.. I can understand why they do it :O

Like you violate someones beliefs, and they're gonna come at you, bro. That's how internet works

It's not even personal


its no problem if you or anyone hate me lol, I'm referring to my interactions with the community as a whole, which includes here ( i dont post or troll much) in game and on lnet (where i troll a little more)

The bump of this thread... and i read it completely again. I started thinking about how many annoyances that used to bother me on lnet, that are no longer there(or are they) and just not as vocal. It's fast how easy it is to forget until something gets brought up and you say ohhh i haven't thought about that shit hole in a minute.
