Calron Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 are we not even in the top 20 after a reset. Seeing as the mud is down, everyone has the time to vote. So vote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRins Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Well...considering I've now almost forgotten that I even play this game, voting is pretty much OOTQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wayward Knight Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 How many of you actually think us being in the top 20 is going to get us more players? Nobody goes to those websites anymore. Muds are old school. Even the most base computers that are built today are capable of playing World of Warcraft or some other multiplayer online game. If you really want to introduce new people to the mud, go out and meet them and say 'hey, I have this *COUGH* intellectual *cough* game that I play, it's fantasy, it's neat but it's just text based.' Or spin your **** on IRC or something, or introduce it to your friends on AIM or Yahoo or MSN. But seriously? Voting isn't getting our playerbase anywhere. Mudding is going down, and it has been for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRins Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 That is perhaps the worst attitude I have ever heard. Aulian... I'm from the US. False advertisement is immoral and wrong here. I can't exactly advocate a concept, which is at this second exactly what FL. I absolutely love this game, and I am sure that their is a percentage of the world's population that would love it as well. The graphics of others games are nice and all, but the "graphics" I have playing in my head as I read the text will never be topped. The depth of tactics completely smacks FPS, RTS, and other sorts of games down. In the same breath, if I decided to have a write-in vote in the coming *cough*joke*retch* elections in the US for, let's say Rumplestiltzkin, people would A. not take me seriously. B. Probably be at least irritated I wasted their timed opening, counting, and having to throw away my vote. and C. Think I was completely insane for wanting to have a fairy tail character as one of the powerful people in the world. C doesn't really apply, but if I were click the link to FL and it didn't work, and I tried it every couple hours for the past week... I would probably write to the vote website and tell them to have FL struck off the top20 or whatever. That's just me though, I'm sure lots of people would take the A route and just ignore FL permanently regardless of where it was on the top20. Chill out man, I have no problems with you or anyone else...but their is logical and responsible, then their is voting for something that doesn't exist.

Celerity Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 Voting will not bring in players if the MUD isn't up...in fact, a high position might actually deter players because if they click it and it doesn't work...then they won't come back when it does work. But if they never noticed the down time, maybe they would have joined at some later date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones introduced by players have someone to get them started and explain things. Someone to ask questions to and get advice from. Where do you think those players come from that have no idea whats happening, or else are not new to MUDs but new to FL. I can recall a lot of people saying that they found FL on one of those sites, so yes, it is still worth it to vote. Here is just one example I can remember offhand. http://www.forsakenlands.org/forum/showthread.php?p=104111#post104111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wayward Knight Posted December 2, 2007 Report Share Posted December 2, 2007 I'm sorry, I was in a really bad mood last night. My ex-roommate is sleeping on our couch and he brought his stripper concubine over at about 3:30 in the morning and they chatted loudly in the living room, distracting both my attempts at doing my homework and at sleeping. I know the voting helps, if only a little bit. Not right now, it doesn't, but it usually does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should kick him out on those grounds if none other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Wayward Knight Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 For once I actually actively didn't want to offend anybody by saying they were ****ing around, but her lips are big and I can hear them smack no matter where she puts them. I'm actually getting incredibly sick of his whoring, he has a girlfriend whom, admittedly, can be a bitch, but nobody deserves to be stabbed in the back so many ****ing times in a row.

Guest emp_newb Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 RE: Wayward Knight. You have three viable choices. 1) Tell his old lady, he will hate you, you won't talk to her anymore, situation fixed. 2) Tell him what you plan on doing, he will hate you, and you won't see him much more. 3) Cowboy up, get a case/bottle(s), get hammered with said concubine, and spill that asshats kool aid all over your floor, then tell him "Next time, you better bring two strippers or stay the hell out of my house." RE: Krins, my prodigy Tarako said it best, everything IN the US is false advertising. Trust him, he loaded himself down with axe body spray, only to be lit on fire because he was covered in highly combustable aerosol spray. Also, mudding has been dying since the day it came to life, so are you, does that mean your going to go get a nursing home spot right now? Hell no, ride this train RIGHT into the ground. Since muds started, they have done nothing but multiply, you know more people play text based games than ANY other genre? And if muds as a whole where to actually charge each player somewhere in the range of 30 cents a month muds could collectively own Russia? It all comes down to what your willing to do for something you love, you obviously do not plan on taking an active stance in saving something YOU enjoy, your banking on the fact that it will be here regardless of what you do. Well there are people who do bring friends here to mud, and do campaign to get the forsaken lands a more prestigious spot on the top 20, So I guess Im trying to say if you do not feel like being constructive, then do not tear at the system you refuse to participate in. I do agree with the fact that there is NO point in voting so much to get us high on the list when we are not operational. But now that the mud is up, GET VOTING.

L-A Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 TWK: Not a good situation at all for his gf. If she's such a b!tch to him he should just man up and cut her loose. Then he can have a different stipper concubine (I assume you mean prostitute?) every night if he wants with none of the hasstles that go with a gf. None of the hasstle for that embarrasing little ring-a-round he's going to have to do (not to mention owning up to his gf) when (not if) he finds out he's got a STD/STI. Not that doing that is going to help you sleep or do work. Since he's crashing on your lounge I assume its your place - so its really simple: tell him if he wants to crash there he exercises some f***ing consideration at 3am and shuts the f*** up. If he wants to make noise then he can get a room elsewhere for that night. I've lived with room mates - and even rent paying ones are inclined to have some basic human respect for others who might want to some quiet.

The Wayward Knight Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I don't mean she's a prostitute. I mean she's a stripper and he brings her over to the house when everyone is asleep or when no one is here. I would have NO problem with them ****ing around (except when it's loud and I'm asleep, of course) if only he were single, but I am about to tell him to take his hedonism somewhere else.

I'd never cheat but I wouldn't tell my friends they couldn't. I may very well tell them not to do it around me though. Just make sure you're at home and get your keys off him so he can't steal and/or trash your stuff in a temper tantrum. L-A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
