Goodbye Shiva, I Quit!Follow

#1 May 03 2005 at 2:38 PM Rating: Default
Now that I have your attention. Why do so many make these threads?. If I really was going to quit playing, I would just say goodbye to my ingame friends. Is it an attention issue, where someone thinks everyone on Shiva knows them and will be sad to see them go?. Could it be they are just lazy and do not care enough about thier ingame friends to send them a tell to say goodbye?. I am just curious, but am I the only one who thinks these "Goodbye" threads are annoying?.

yeah i dont want to sound like a complete @$$ but I don't really know these ppl who post teh "I quit" threads...so...I don't really care. Its an "oh well, sucks to be you" kinda thing..
"I don't know you, so why should I care?"

I hope I don't sound too much of a b**** for saying that... ; ;

Dude, WTF. I got all happy and ****, now you are STAYING??!!! Hehe, jk bro. Yeah, I do think they want attention or something. Kinda like a cry for help. I guess I don't mind so much. I mean, if they are REALLY annoying, you won't see them anymore anyway. ^^ I just personally hate ppl that say "RAWR". That crap is really annoying.

An "I quit" thread is actually an eulogy. You see, when a persn quits, he'll write up a speech of sorts, thanking those who've helped him, remembering those who have left before him. And of course bashing and flaming the f*cktards. And then his friends, and others who have known him will post replies such as;
"Oh man, your quitting? Dude wtf?! We just spent 10 hours getting your damn coffer two days ago and your just gonna ditch us? Whatever, hope you have a nice life."

And then this ceremonial thread will be forever stored within the vaults of the Shiva forums, collecting dust, but still, always being with us, in our hearts and minds.

Let us have a moment of silence for our fallen, in rememberance of the glimmer that they shone on our very own Shiva.

Amen.

If I was not too lazy, I would go back and dig out the Pokiehl "I am quitting" thread and my reply of "WTF, I just spent hours getting your Garliage Coffer the other day"......bahahahaha.

I read that and cracked up. Poki, your still my little monk partner in crime!

Carry on.

HOLY **** LIONSFAN TURNED INTO ME!

Do you have to find something to ***** about on a daily basis? Is it an attention issue?

Go home to your girlfriend and have sex or something.

Thanks!

Ok....so i am bored and dug it out...here is the quotes:

Pokiehl Headling "I am quitting FFXI....

Nah.....just gonna take a nice long much needed break. The amount of days I've not logged onto FFXI (if only to check delivery box and put stuff on AH) I can pretty much count on my hands. And I've been playing since May. That spiffy new Matrix Online looks...well, spiffy. Gonna give it a whirl. And no, I'm not playing WoW, my roommates play it, and I'm pretty sure if I do, I won't ever quit, at least for a while. Anyway, MO is only in betatest now, release is next week. I don't know about the server setup now, but surprise surprise, my name is Pokiehl on that. Look me up sometime.

Anway, be back later friends. Time for a nice vacation."

Lokkii:

"DAMN YOU POKI! How the hell am I gonna get all the stuff done I need a party for if you are not there to send me a random /tell!

Anywho, good luck to ya, hopefully you will be back soon and I will be 75 and quiting as well!"

So I must have just been THINKING "WTF, I just spent hours getting your Garliage Coffer the other day"...... ^_^.

I agree with Pokie.. I've seen a lot of the "OMGZ I Plaed teh WoWz and j00 are all teh N00bz! GOOD LUCK SUCKING OFF TEH JAPPERZ! LOLOLOLOLOL" threads.. But most of the time they are just a whussup to all the people they played with and had fun in the game. Maybe a little rant about what irked them. Most of the goodbye threads are alright though.

Speaking of attention issues, how many threads do you have to make a day complaining about something?

I made one, it was just a letting people know thing. I expected no replies from it. Theres a lot of people you won't see the day you quit, many you just want to leave some parting words for. Theres a lot of people on shiva I never knew, and many I don't care to get to know.

If you don't like it, you can honestly just not read it and continue on your day.

wow, calm down kids.

If you both hate complaint posts then you should realize how much more annoying pointless arguing posts are.

I'm sure you're both great guys, no reason to complain about complaining.

Haha, honestly Lion, I was where you are a few months back. It's like you actually care about the community and want to see it get better and you try to "bring to light" certain issues only to be torn down by the herd like hungry wolves that smell blood. All to the chanting warcy of "Go away noone likes you here" yadeedadadeeda...

Then you kinda suck it up and accept that some people really are cosmic accidents that should have never happened and you step outside of it all to laugh for a bit. Then you come back refreshed and ready to get a few laughs at a handful of really dumb people who always have and always will put their foot in their mouth. Here's one that exemplifies what I'm talking about:

http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=10&mid=111522917442268991&num=70

Heaven knows this jack of **** has never picked up a bow in his FF career, but thats not going to stop him from making a nerfbat thread... Oh no! And it's not going to keep the unwashed masses from rating him up.. After all, don't YOU feel inferior to a ranger my good man?

Help save us lord Lefein! We can only defeat annoying posters by showing how long we've been on these forums. We must defeat them with experience, and obviously knowledge.

Or you could become an admin and quit blubbering about how to run this forum.
#21 May 04 2005 at 5:37 PM Rating: Decent
Nah, I dont want to tell people how to run anything. I appreciate the job everyone does to make things go. I will chime in with an idea, but I dont think Im important... just right.
