X-Post: Best Golden Kobold Ever

[Fallen]

X-posted because it will get deleted soon.


Mithumbras and Faiyth and...? · on 8/22/2007

Though his recent (or not too recent?) actions will prevent my character from interacting with him very much in the future, I'd like to thank Mithumbras' player for the many years of delightful RP that I shared with him.

And, on that note, a special thanks to Faiyth's player - nothing says "good readin'" like a public online journal detailing your IC husband's routine infidelity! You're both a class act.

---player of Mithumbras' (former) wife, Eponyne

[Bobmuhthol]

...? Is this all confined to GS (making her completely insane...) or is there some real aspect to it (making everyone involved completely insane...)?

[Fallen]

I dont know. I dont know any of these people.

[practicaldreamyr]

No need for name-calling. I am not insane. I only thought to make light of a serious IC situation. Only trying to bring in the lolz.

---Eponyne's player

[practicaldreamyr]

You mentioned it will be deleted soon...does this mean the mods are gonna snatch it? Because, if so, I'll be happy to pull it down.

[Asha]

Didn't look insane to me. A little bitter but nothing Gracy

[practicaldreamyr]

For good times, take a look at faiyth.com and her journal entries. You might see what my original post was in reference to, there. BTW, the password is "weasel".

On the officials or here? It's not coming down here.

It would come down because it would be seen as an attack on a player/character(s), whether or not it was justified. I found it hilarious too, and I don't have a clue what was going on. No insult was meant in me bringing the post here. Just found it funny.

[unconcerned1]

That Faiyth chick keeps a pretty graphic IC journal. Names, dates. I haven't read it in awhile but it was funny. Never looked at those guys the same again.

From her diary:

"Of course I don't sleep with everyone, and I can be choosey regarding lovers. I usually start every race of elf, human or giant off as potential lovers.. unless they are hideous or something. Then if they beg, bounce on me, start acting like children, get clingy, insult me badly or do something stupid or that I consider unmanly I start removing points.. every man starts with 5 points.. if he still has 3 or more points after the night is over I will consider him for a lover. If I sleep with him and he amazes me then the point system is gone because good lovers are hard to find. If he is a terrible lover the point system goes and I forget him as any future lover and he becomes more of a friend. You may think I sit around and have sex all the time, but really I sleep with 1 or 2 guys a week. I lie and embellish this for some men, usually if they like the idea of me sleeping with lotsa men. The truth is I only sleep with 1 or 2 men a week.. if I'm having a good week I may do more. The most I've ever had in a week is 4 different men. Which really isn't all that many when you consider that some men think I'm sleeping with 3 or 4 different men every night.. that's just not going to happen. I do after all get tired. I do alot of other things too, my life isn't just about lovers. I buy dresses, I create things, I hunt.. I work secretly on my sorcerer guilds membership. I've been working on my adventure's guild membership as well lately."

All I have to say to that is...wow..

[Ilvane]

Wow..I'm just seriously giggling here.

<3 Eponyne

Good luck hon..hee

[SpunGirl]

That journal is like a really bad episode of that HBO show. Is it Sex IN the City or Sex AND the City? I was never quite clear on that.

-K

[CrystalTears]

Way to air out dirty gaming laundry. Yikes.

[SpunGirl]

To be honest, I'd take dirty gaming laundry over dirty gaming laundry becomes dirty RL laundry any day. After seeing *that* happen to a friend of mine... ew.

-K

[CrystalTears]

OMG AMEN, K. Holy.. hell...

[Parkbandit]

All I have to say to that is...wow..

Yea, where I come from.. we call girls like that skanky little whores. I hope she's making alot of money doing it.

[SpunGirl]

"And this one is rough, or at least he says he is. He says he can make it seem like rape.. good sweet sweet Tonis. Perfect! I told him I'd definately have to find him later, I was so tired from the two other lovers I had today. This one would just have to wait for me to be 100%. I can barely wait for the chance!"

For chrissakes, I haven't had breakfast yet and that makes me want to barf.

-K

[Skeeter]

so she RPs a dirty whore. I don't really see the problem.

[CrystalTears]

Skeeter is going to scope out Faiyth, because you don't score until you score.

[Sean]

Skeeter RPed the original skanky whore

[Goretawn]

Still not seeing the issue here.

[Sean]

I don't think is a real issue, it's just amusing to some people.

[SpunGirl]

This journal is kind of how I felt about the jackass movies - amusing and hilarious interspersed with the need to barf and shower.

[Misun]

Oh great, now I'll have to burn all those dresses I bought from her recent auction. :(

[CrystalTears]

Especially the blue stained ones. :D

[Misun]

Especially the blue stained ones. :D

Haha, funny you should say that....most of them were blue. :rofl:

[CrystalTears]

Yay for anonymous PMs! I don't normally do this but I just had to share.



Too funny. I can recall when Eponyne was married to Quinstol and after he'd say goodnight to her, she would toddle off to an Inn with Mithumbras. I guess class acts that go around, come around.

[Gan]

I wonder how many guys have hit her site and searched to make sure their name isnt listed...

:whistle:

[Sean]

I just hope one of them can cast disease resistance

[Fallen]

Tell you what, that is a hell of a lot of roleplaying.

[Satira]

ROFL. Oh my stars.

[Atlanteax]

Wow... I wonder if you could set a watch to her.

[Bobmuhthol]

I hate people who play GS so much.

[oldanforgotten]

Look, she can RP her character any way she wants, but she has to accept that bad things may arise because of those choices.

Same goes for Mith's player. This is why this scenario has become an issue with me...

Basically, Mith's player and I are (were) best friends IRL. From day one, I told him that I was not comfortable with his character having outside affairs if he was going to be married to my character. He said he was okay with that. Mind you, this was SIX YEARS AGO.

Well, I got suspicious. After many guilt trips on his part, and many many times of promising to me (OOC, no less) that nothing was going on, I got an anonymous IM one day. And let's just say that names started coming out of the woodwork. Mith's player denied everything until the night I discovered Faiyth's journal.

So, am I a little bitter? Hell yes. Was it the most mature way I could've handled it? Probably not, but it sure helps me feel a bit better. I think Faiyth's journal is disgusting, personally, and I'm pretty shocked that someone would post something like that where anyone could see it. So, I don't really care about calling her out on it. I haven't called out any of the other ladies I know about, nor will I.

So now I'm facing the end of a long-term RL friendship, on top of an IC one. Some people will call me nuts for getting emotionally involved, but that's just the way it is. I'm trying my damnedest not to get sucked in further, and I hope everyone will be just a little understanding about all of this.

As for Epi, she never slept with anyone else while she was married to Quinstol. So, really, to be making accusations of that nature is just ridiculous.

---Eponyne's player



And this is why I switched over to WoW. The concept of caring that much over an in game character is a bit too serious for my tastes. Not to mention, as long as I stay away from Goldshire, I can stay away from that mess. 5 night a week cybering with someone who may damn well be a guy is just ?.. yuck. To each their own I guess, and if enough people enjoy that kind of interpersonal character involvement, and basically having a hardcore story porn subculture, then so be it.

That diary is kinda comical though.

It's why I had stopped having in game relationships. Telling your "best friend" how to roleplay a marriage is just creepifying.

Wouldn't any decent, self-respecting Dark Elf commit suicide upon learning that they were part kobold? Srsly.

Anyway, all this drama and stuff makes me glad I quit GS. Again. For good. :nod:

[practicaldreamyr]

I'm sorry, how is that creepy? We had an agreement, it's not like I forced him in to anything.

I told him before they ever got together, OOC (because we were RL friends) that if they were going to be married, I wasn't comfortable with his character sleeping around. I think that's perfectly reasonable.

I don't understand why some people are being so harsh about this, frankly.

[Bobmuhthol]

I don't understand anything on your end, so we're in the same position.

[Skeeter]

ROFL at taking a game and turning it into RL.

I?m not saying there is anything wrong with it, simply that I find it to be a repellant. If I wanted to go have cybersex, I could go to a number of porn chats and go nuts. Frankly, I prefer the real thing, and if she?s not up to it, or away on business, my left hand works a whole lot better than someone who is probably a guy somewhere I don?t know that can?t spell. For that trip last year where my left hand was sprained, the right hand does the trick. I just fail to see how any of that part of life has to be a part of a game, and part of the majority of the subculture to it. Maybe its just me, but ?my text was married to your text, and I?ve got the text ring to prove it? doesn?t make any sense to me. It?d be akin to developing personal feelings for a phone sex operator.

[CrystalTears]

Eh, because I don't believe in planning anything in a roleplaying game. Just go with whatever happens. Then again I personally would find it weird to roleplay a marriage with my best friend, then get all butt hurt because he was unfaithful with some nameless, faceless stranger. It's just a game, afterall.

[practicaldreamyr]

Well, fair enough. Go ahead and fire away, I just thought I'd offer some kind of explanation.

Frankly, I just needed to vent. Though he initiated it, it was probably (absolutely) dumb of me to bring these matters OOC. My initial reasoning was to let off a little steam and hopefully give some people a chuckle in the process - I realize a lot of people don't understand where I'm coming from, but I think there are just as many who do.

I try to keep most of my IG friendships anonymous to avoid this sort of thing, and now I am seeing the true value in that. Thank you to those who have pointed it out.

[Skeeter]

maybe he knew you'd act all butt hurt

[Atlanteax]

Obviously, you were let down. Sorry to hear.

Yeah, certainly much better to hear about it 6 years later on a public journal.

Beautiful, sane, available. Pick two. (She's clearly #1 and #3)

One of those pictures says something about her husband in the caption, Spun.

I would go with 2 and 3? or maybe just 3.

Does that look like someone that spends upwards of 12 hours a day logged into Gemstone, much of that time cybering and/or looking for someone to cyber? And what's with the whole toyhauler thing.

[Darkthanion]

I can understand people who get emotionally involved in their characters and the relationships formed during the months and years rp'ing in gemstone.
I am one of them. I look at it as if it were akin to a favorite character in a book.. or a character in a movie. Even over a short time reading or watching, you are invested in them and you dont want to see bad things happen to them.
Now, multiply that by 1000 where the story or the movie you were watching has been going on for years, and the responsibility of what happens to that character is at least partially due to your decisions.
The sad thing is that for every 1 person that is invested and cares about their character, there are 10 that just play for power trips.. because they are impotent or unhappy with their lives, and feel the need to screw with other peoples to prove they can.
My character Martagain is a flirt because he has no reason not to be. He would never betray someone he has given his heart to.. He also holds his honor and his family name and memory above all else. He has a code he will follow even if it means pissing into the wind and getting beat down by someone 80 lvls over him If it means standing up for his values or those he calls friend, he would glady die. This is how i choose to play my character and invest my time.
To each their own i guess.

[Stretch]

I had a long day of work.

I have no idea what I'm reading, and am thoroughly confused at this whole thing.

Can someone confirm for me that this is just another incidence of "crazy ass bitch" syndrome?

[practicaldreamyr]

Okay, here's my "foot in mouth" moment.

Just because I felt hurt on an OOC level did not give me the right to air my dirty laundry here - the issue is between Mith's player and I, and any OOC information should have remained in the same place. I apologize to anyone I offended.

That being said, there are a lot of you here who could learn a thing or two about human compassion. I realize we're online and it's "just a game", but there are real people behind the characters. I don't understand how you can be in a 6 year "relationship" and not feel an ounce of sadness or anger when you realize you and your character have been lied to the entire time.

---Eponyne's player

[Bobmuhthol]

Don't they teach people in theater the difference between a subject pronoun and an object pronoun?

<<and not feel an ounce of sadness or anger when you realize you and your character have been lied to the entire time.>>

I think this is a major part of the problem: you distinguish between you and your character as if they are indepedent entities.

Why does it matter one way or another? I was lied to. My character was lied to. We were lied to. Take your pick. Do you have to be so rude?

[practicaldreamyr]

Haha, new post on her journal, btw. All about Mith, of course.

Which is odd, considering that I don't think he's been around at all tonight...

[Drew]

Why does it matter one way or another? I was lied to. My character was lied to. We were lied to.


That's just it, you were not lied to, your character was. The fact that you've become emotionally hurt by this shows that you lack the emotional maturity to separate reality from fantasy. If someone betrays my character I am not hurt emotionally because I am not him. This is really why I avoid all kind of in-game romance. Far too many people play avatars of themselves and not characters and it creeps me out. And trust me I have no axe to grind with you as I haven't been paying a lot of attention so I don't even know who this is or what 'character' you play.

[Jolena]

Well, in her defense (sort of?) she did say that the player of Mith also told her OOC as friend to friend that he wouldn't betray her IC with their marriage. So technically, if that's true, she the player was lied to AND her character was lied to. Once by the player in OOC conversation, and once by the character in game.

As to the journal thing tonight, she refers to the man in her journal as 'Myth' not Mith, so perhaps its not the same one? And if it is, I would be wary of believing that even happened, since A) you say he wasn't around tonight, and B) she probably knows about the drama surrounding this now that the post was made here and on the officials (even if it was pulled, plenty of folks saw it and commented before it was removed so its feasible she was told). That might be a reason for her to comment as she did in her journal, thinking perhaps you might see it and just add more fuel to the fire?

Just some thoughts, I really don't know Faiyth well enough to say one way or the other if she'd even do something like make up a story in her journal just to fuel the fire or not.

[practicaldreamyr]

I wasn't directing that comment to you, and as for "separation", Mith's player didn't give me that luxury. I told him, quite reasonably, that I was not comfortable with that kind of IG behavior, and that he needed to let me know if he was taking his character in that direction so I could respond accordingly. It's just a matter of courtesy, player to player.

Secondly, I wouldn't have called Faiyth's player out if she hadn't posted all of this on a publicly-viewed journal.

[practicaldreamyr]

And yes, Jolena's got it right. Thank you, Jolena.

BTW, Mithumbras admitted his infidelity fully the other night, the same night that I discovered Faiyth's journal. He matches all of her descriptions (sorcerer, middle-aged, human, etc.) as well.

[Bobmuhthol]

[oldanforgotten]

Not to defend Faiyth in any way, it?s not like he/she was really all that out of the ordinary. Maybe an excessive flair for the dramatic, or a bit psychotic, but to think that a large portion of the population aren?t basically camping in their houses or in Inn rooms doing that all the time is a bit na?ve. Just reading a little, I?d say getting a group of of 5 or 6 people walking around her wearing cowboy hats and saying reckon all the time would give her the clear indicator that people have figured it out.

But in the end, from a player of Faiyth perspective, if he/she enjoys that kind of whatever, then who really cares? I think it?s all the people who get butt hurt over text are the ones who sensationalize it, and then start all the OMG OMG look @ tecxt Kirby buttsecks!.

There is no moral high ground in the world of text and pixels. And in the end, not only does nobody really give a shit, but they?ll make fun of you for being stupid enough to care.

Exactly how long have you been reading the PC?

Maybe no one cares in the small circles you run with, but the world at large will regularly laugh at so much emotional and time investment into text and pixels ... if there's sex involved, well it turns into a wildfire and people come from all over with sticks and marshmallows.

I'm sorry, but the biggest turn off to any on-line game, and source of greatest amusement, are the cyber fuck circles that form. (waits for someone's e-peen to arrive 20 minutes before they actually post to inform me I'm using the word "fuck" way too often and it's not the sign of an educated person).

RP games are great, but all too often shit like this gets thrown out in a public venue and people can't help but laugh ... and at the same time wonder how someone can invest so much energy into a game that they actually have to keep a web journal of their character. Let's not get into all of the "families" out there. Outside of the rp hookers and people acting out their sexual inhibitions in a game where you advance by slaughtering game controlled beings, there's nothing that makes the gag reflex kick in when a role playing mattress back has about ten to twenty other players that call her mom and a string of ex in game husbands.

Make that 3 things, cyber, kids, and marriage ... in a game. Why play a game?

(waits for someone's e-peen to arrive 20 minutes before they actually post to inform me I'm using the word "fuck" way too often and it's not the sign of an educated person).

RP games are great, but all too often shit like this gets thrown out in a public venue and people can't help but laugh ... and at the same time wonder how someone can invest so much energy into a game that they actually have to keep a web journal of their character. Let's not get into all of the "families" out there. Outside of the rp hookers and people acting out their sexual inhibitions in a game where you advance by slaughtering game controlled beings, there's nothing that makes the gag reflex kick in when an role playing mattress back has about ten to twenty other players that call her mom and a string of ex in game husbands.

Make that 3 things, cyber, kids, and marriage ... in a game. Why play a game?

Precisely why I avoid Westfall. Luckily, most raiding guilds do not have to worry about that subculture, because the rules don't support it. But if I so choose, I can not only avoid it in WoW, but not have to worry about it being an issue in anything in the people surrounding me. In gemstone, it is damn near impossible.

I?d bet if you took a survey of a random number of players, asked em straight up if they play GS to cyber, and at least 1 in 4 votes wasn?t yes, you?d know some people were bullshitting you.

I have no idea who you hang out with, but you seem to stumble into more cyber in WoW than I've ever seen in GS. Avoid Westfall? :lol:

People play GS for all kinds of reasons. Some play just to powerhunt, some play to roleplay, some play to get their rocks off. As long as it's not done in the open, does it really matter?

The only time I think it's amusing is when people let what happens in a game affect their real life and relationships.

There are better MUDs out there for cybering. In GS it just seems to be easier to develop relationships in the game because of the other activities you can indulge in. I actually have more issues with people playing someone with a kobold lineage or getting raped/pregnant/having abortion than someone who just cybers.

[TheEschaton]

Maybe I'm just out of the loop but I don't suspect any of the people I hang out with in GS of using the game as a cyber sex forum. It could be that I'm just naive but I've never IMed someone and said hey lets go hunt something and have them say hold on I need to finish up my cyber session. Well except maybe Sergey but he's just a ho.

Yeah, we definitely never cybered in the kobold hovel, even with that cot there.

I'm not saying there isn't more, because I don't know. I can only say that if you are part of a raiding or pvp guild, the amount of cyber and cyber related drama you are subject to or exposed to is near 0.

: pondering :

Your husband cuck much?


Yes, I'm married and yes my husband knows I do this. He tends to think it's hot that I cyber, it's really no more then reading erotica then going to bed with him.

Guess he likes eating the sloppy seconds. :shrug:

More power to both of you. Just strange for you to lay it out for others to read and infer.

Finis

[CrystalTears]

Sloppy seconds? Cause she typed some frilly words on a screen? Heh, okay.

I'm actually leaning more towards the idea that Eponyne is the crackhead. Faiyth was way too calm and sane for this place with this kind of topic. ;)

[FinisWolf]

You may be right CT, but the possibility remains, and her calmly typed words do support such a conclusion. I personally don't care, just found it strange for her to word her post that way and to bring her RL husband into it when there was no need. And then to put him in the position to be liking it and thinking it's hot.

:shrug:

Personally, I think it's hot for my girl to do alot of things, though cybering with someone else isn't one of the things that makes me think what she is doing is hot.

O well. Different strokes for different folks. Maybe I am wrong, but then maybe, just maybe ...

Sorry but I think the number of people who cyber in GS can't be nearly that high.

[Fallen]

It is certainly going on in GS, but I would say it is more 1 and 10. I didn't think Faiyth would be bothered by all of this (didn't know her), doesn't look like she is.

[Celephais]

Guess he likes eating the sloppy seconds. :shrug:

What the hell's wrong with you? A girl is "sloppy seconds" because she got turned on by someone else? Would you not bang a girl because she watched porn right before coming to bed? Ugh, enjoy your dry vag...


I'm actually leaning more towards the idea that Eponyne is the crackhead. Faiyth was way too calm and sane for this place with this kind of topic. ;)

I agree, she seems prett calm and level headed here... Clearly having properly seperated her RP from RL... Good job.

[CrystalTears]

She probably mentioned her husband only because someone in this thread brought it up and thought she was lying about it.

[Fallen]

She probably mentioned her husband only because someone in this thread brought it up and thought she was lying about it.

That.

[ViridianAsp]

This whole thing is really quite funny. I find it even more funny that she put up a password on journal entries. That obviously won't work, especially if you are giving it to people to read about your character's sorted affairs.

You know, in game now they have books with pages. If your character is going to record something, Jesus Fucking Christ, do it there.

So then, you won't have angry, hurt women display on a public forum the key to getting in and reading what you've written.

PS: Faiyth's player is pretty.

[Jolena]

Honestly, I don't think her keeping an online journal is a horrible thing. It -is- a game. And though, unfortunately, the OP got involved emotionally as a player and it hurt her feelings (which I am sad to see happen, and I'm sure Faiyth's player never intended), perhaps if more people realized that this is just a game and not real life, they wouldn't be hurt over what their text husband did with another text character in the text world of Elanthia. I don't see why anyone else who plays should have to worry over keeping an online journal and instead resort to keeping the journal in a text book so that noone can see it. Especially when the owner of the online journal clearly separates the game from real life.

[ViridianAsp]

True, my thing is...if you are going to write entries like that, private or not. It's probably going to blow up in your face.

Because honestly, you have to expect someone is going to show it to the world. I realize it's IC but still, I'd hate to be caught up in something like that. Some angry woman, who seeks revenge by posting the password to my character's journal.

Faiyth's player actually acted better than I probably would have if I had someone do something like that to me.

It's like, save yourself some drama...use and in-game journal.

[Ilvane]

Eponyne doesn't seem very vengeful to me--hurt maybe--but maybe that's just my impression.

Angela

[Sean]

It doesn't sound like she really cares if people get bent out of shape based on the journal so why would she make it private?

[Celephais]

This whole thing is really quite funny. I find it even more funny that she put up a password on journal entries. That obviously won't work, especially if you are giving it to people to read about your character's sorted affairs.

I was under the impression the password was there to keep people from idly finding it... as in you have to know you want to look at it (or possibly just so she can share it w/ friends). Depending on if it's directly linked to (which now it is on this site) it is also a way to keep google from indexing the page and preventing just searching and stumbling upon it (robots.txt would be better, but doubt she knows about that).


You know, in game now they have books with pages. If your character is going to record something, Jesus Fucking Christ, do it there.

I'm pretty sure these are expensive... and it's clear she wanted to share it with some people and in reality doesn't seem to care if that somebody is everybody, but it looked like she wanted to make it a "you have to want to find this" sort of thing.

It seems pretty reasonable for me to think she wasn't that vested in this and doesn't think it warrants the kind of butthurt reaction the OP had.

[Jolena]

It doesn't sound like she really cares if people get bent out of shape based on the journal so why would she make it private?


That's pretty much my impression. Also, based on her reaction (Faiyth's reaction that is) here, I would imagine that she isn't too concerned about something 'blowing up in her face' because she has nothing to hide. I think that the password was simply put there to ensure that it wasn't idly found, as others have stated. In fact, she mentions on her website that the password is there to ensure that those reading the journal took the time to at least know something about the character before diving into her journal, hence why the password questions are such that they need answers about the character's possessions such as her favorite pet or whatnot.

I feel I need to reiterate something.

I am not angry over what happened IC...I am angry over what Mith's player told me, OOC. He never gave me the option to opt out of this gracefully. He lied repeatedly to keep me around, because he knew I was not into that type of RP.

You can think I'm insane, but I've played this game for 14 years now and nothing like this has ever happened before. I've already said that I shouldn't have posted what I did. Cut me a little slack, hm?

Actually no... if you started playing on your 13th birthday and tomorrow is your 27th birthday, you would STILL not have been playing for 14 years, only 13 years. If you said almost 14, then well okay... but you didn't, and as with any of these situations people tend to exaggerate a little... they leave off the almost... then them playing since the age of 14 becomes playing since 13 etc etc.

Oh and Gemstone became available on AOL in 1995... the year is 2007. Need a calculator?

Wow, um, okay.

Sorry for my miswording, then.

I was using AOL at that age (ISP), but I played the game before the transfer - that is, before there was a charge for playing it. To be honest, I don't really remember who the provider was.

And, looking at a later post, it was. In any event, I used "real-life" more than "text" so I must be right anyway.

[B4Hand]

Probably not the popular opinion here. But I tend to think being lied to in rather in rl or IG is difficult. I can see where it feels like a double sort of betrayal. I dont' think really it has to do with the IG relationship, but rather the OOG one between friends. I don't know..I think it sort of stinks none the less.

:shrug:

[Asha]

Being lied to In Game is different to being lied to Out Of Game, wether in Real Life you're friends with said character or not.

[practicaldreamyr]

Umm, but I WAS lied to OOG. That's the point. This has nothing to do with IG happenings. If all of this had occurred in a strictly IG venue, I would've patted his player on the back for a job well done.

As for the initial GK, I just posted that for shits and giggles.

[B4Hand]

Being lied to In Game is different to being lied to Out Of Game, wether in Real Life you're friends with said character or not.


I wasn't clear, I mean that it sort of stinks being lied to regardless. The betrayal though in my opinion happend with the lies OOG..I'm not sure if I'm making myself clear. I simply think that most people don't expect to be lied to by someone they believe is a friend.

[practicaldreamyr]

And if you weren't upset at all about them, that's great but it did seem you were.

Maybe its just me, but “my text was married to your text, and I’ve got the text ring to prove it” doesn’t make any sense to me. It’d be akin to developing personal feelings for a phone sex operator.

Why, some folks are so intense about this game they even get into forums and post about it instead of talking about anything real. Go figure.
