That's " DRONZE", n00blet. D R O N Z EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEMy handle on here was already shortened. so let me shorten yours... N00B. Seriously, It would be one thing if I had some long, multi-syllabic name and you just wanted to shorten that, but if 6 keystrokes is too much to give when making a request for assistance, then you probably don't need the help you're asking for. In fact, if you think that you need to rush around this much, I probably can't afford the help you need. Why couldn't it have just stayed that way? Honestly, I can't really see why you'd decide to do a whole list of things that would just bring you to gain my ire. Are you just some kind of masochist? Self-punishment aside, tell me honestly, Is it really worth spamming and derailing a thread that is COMPLETELY unrelated to your issue to make a request of me? My PM box works just fine last I checked. Quote: do i still look like a newb Yes, yes you do. And you still type like one, too. Punctuation IS YOUR FRIEND. Don't fear the comma. Seriously, your post reads like you're some ADHD kid with an ounce of pure crank and a case of jolt. The only problem with that logic is that you're not dead, thus, I still have to read this, so, could you be so kind as to tell me what your issue is? Don't make that face, you asked me, I responded. It is not my fault that you're an impatient child that can't have the common courtesy to actually make an effective attempt at communication, but still expects something for nothing... that's like me saying "Iwannaslipmytubesteakinyoursister/mom/girlfriend/wifesogimmiegimmiegimmie" and expecting to get anything other than laughed at or slapped. why would your request be any different than me asking to pork your mother? Quote: ok not what i came here to say Then get to the point, already... having to read the Great Wall O' Text before getting to the purpose of the post is kinda irritating, you know? It wastes time, and in some cases, forces me to throw a live DronzeRant in your lap, sans pin. Besides, as I pointed out in so many rants before, if you had just come out and asked to begin with, as opposed to wasting both my time and everyone else's, well, you could have gotten a straight-up answer. Quote: ok dude i need your opinion on a guild im creating You don't have time to make a post with some punctuation then you don't have time for a guild. you would have been better off just giving your gold to me directly and letting me punch you in your head in return. Quote: im trying to get more ppl to join and kinda need some opinion Why not ask your members? These people are your strongest tool for recruiting, especially since they can attract other members who will actively post. However, if your members are just as impatient and mannerless as you, well, might I suggest a big bowl of Heaven's Gate brand fruit punch? It'll solve all your guild worries in a single pass. Quote: and i know youll grade it harder then anyone No, no I won't. You wanna know why? because aside from telling you to ban all the members, delete all the posts, and give it to me for my own purposes, your single solitary post has convinced me that shtupping that special woman in your life is a better use of my time. Quote: (i know i shouldnt post this here but its the best way to grab your attention) You're right... remind me to delete this advertisement when I get a chance. Quote: so uh yeah pm me bout it... Ummmmm... no. You could have shot me a PM initially, and saved yourself a bit of time, trouble and ridicule. Run along and play now... over there, near the heavy trafic.... I have some business with a few people close to you.

It sounds as though this person was actually a friend of yours, though, Dronze... Please tread lightly. b

Please tread lightly. b Nope, not really... and as far as "Minions" go, I don't really have any of those, either. Minion implies being recruited, I have Fanboys and girls.... And if this person was a friend, they'd know that i don't put up with that kind of unintellegent drivel without a good reason (like my best friend's dyslexia). It's kinda hard to tread lightly in combat boots.

If you help them then they can become more respectable and maybe even become good writers. A lot of the best writers here started out as newbies and with the help of other they became better and learned. Senseless criticizing does not help though. It lowers their self-esteem and could even make them worse because you make them feel like they can't write at all.

dronze It's a simple Pavlovian response, Lance. I'm not saying that these people are evil, selfish bastards, simply that there is an inherant psychological connection between the actions people take and the percieved outcome. Like I said, If it wasn't going to make you feel any better about yourself, would you honestly go out of your way to do something for your fellow human being? The answer here is a pure and simple "No", and here's why... Humans, being the pack animals that we are, do things for one of a few simple reasons: Perception of survival/self defence Perception of social status Perception of improved well-being Perception of self gratification These 4 perceptions make up a common reasoning for everything we do, from the basic ideas of survival to anything our higher brains are capable of. These things are the reason why marketing works, as well as what we build almost all of our rationalizations for our actions around. There is nothing wrong with this, it is how we, as a species, are wired. The actual after-effects and consequences of our actions may differ from the percieved reasons, which is where bitterness and resentment come in, but it is all the same general set of motivating factors that pervades every last voulentary action we take.... taek a day and think about everything you do... you'll find that I'm absolutely right... You are wrong dronze. People can be selfless. I know plenty of people who have gone out of their way to help others and denied any form of payment. A friend of mine is a member of a church that volunteers to help out in place that serves food for the poor. My friend goes twice a month to help and I have started to do the same thing. There is no reward fo rthis at all. All we have gotten out of it is a thank yuo from those who run the place. If you say that we do this for ourselves, then you are blind dronze. We do this because we wish to help others.
