Making mistakes and pissing people off

Last Saturday we had a nice Nyzul Isle run with our static, we got from floor 61 to floor 80 with 4 tags. The only problems came when I accidentally warped us to next floor instead of exiting after clearing floor 75. But luckily we managed to clear floor 76 too and exited with about one or two seconds left. ^^; Tonight we have a Nyzul boss farming run and I’m hoping we get some nice drops.

On Saturday morning we also camped Adamantoise and got the claim! The egg dropped and we let Malys lot it since he already has wyrm beard. Now he only needs behemoth tongue and he gets his hot belt!

After the lucky Adamantoise camping I decided to try my luck with the Moldavite earring NM. When I was there waiting for the window to open a japanese RDM came there and asked me in Auto-Translate if I was camping the NM. I answered that yes, I was camping the earring. To my surprise she answered “Ok, I’ll just go afk and get some dinner. Good luck!” and let me have the NM! No one has ever done that to me before and I haven’t done that to anyone either so I was really surprised. It’s always nice to meet players who are really friendly. I will remember her name and hopefully I get to help her with something some day. Anyway, the NM popped and I got the earring, yay!

On Sunday we had Sky which was long and well… quite horrible. There’s one member in the LS who has a really bad attitude in my opinion. Every time we’re doing a god and another LS comes there this member goes on and on in linkshell chat about how they’re just trying to lag us and they’re hoping we wipe so they can steal our NM… He has a very hostile and unfriendly attitude and for me that makes the whole atmosphere negative.

I admit it, I just don’t know how to shut up when I find a person annoying, even though I really really should. And on Sunday I proved this to be true once again. We had a few Byakko pops and after we had killed the first a JP linkshell came there. They wanted to /random with our leader for the next pop. Our leader agreed and we lost, so the JP LS popped and well…started to wipe. So me and a few others started to cure/raise them to get them survive. This made this certain member ask in linkshell chat “Why are we raising them???” I was really annoyed with the persons attitude and answered in linkshell chat “It’s called ‘helping’, you should look it up from a dictionary” and that kinda made him explode… He started shouting about how he’s tired of “my shit” and so on. I really didn’t care. I just told him that if he has a problem, he should /tell me instead of creating some drama in linkshell chat.

Yes, I admit I was being mean and I shoudn’t have said anything. But I also think he really overreacted. Anyway, I’ve been thinking about quitting doing sky altogether since I see my friends anyway in other events and people like that really piss me off for some reason. No point in doing in game events if you don’t really enjoy doing them. Also, I finally got Ahands last Sunday. Now I’m only missing Osode and I’m done with Sky for now.

Yesterday I had a short linkshell EXP party where I kept getting R0 and d/cing… I also had to afk to solve some family problems so I was pretty much a horrible party member. After the party we had Limbus, Apollyon SW. My thoughts were still on all the real life stuff I have going on and I made so many mistakes… We also had three new members on that run and the first run they saw went really badly. One person got left out and because of me we lost some AF items and coins. I felt pretty much horrible after the run, I was such a bad leader. I just hope our members don’t become frustrated with me being such a noob. But well, at least we cleared the zone.

I try to be a nice, polite, and considerate person. I’ve been lucky that I have a huge range of tolerance before I start biting.

That being said, if no one complained about you snapping at that guy (other than the… person themselves), I wouldn’t worry about it. But, I think you should discuss his lack-luster ‘tude with the higher-ups (just to be formal and all). Anyone who has a rotten attitude like that is asking for it. I’m just surprised your LS has tolerated him for more than two events. (=p)

Well, my linkshell leader who is also my friend sent me a /tell that my comment went over the line. He has a huge tolerance for annoying people (hey, I’m a member of his LS, that proves it!) and I don’t think he has ever kicked anyone from the LS. I hope everyone also keeps in mind that when I write in my blog, it’s from my own point of view and other people might see the situation in a completely different way. Anyway, our LS leader said in LS on last run that he won’t tolerate any shit directed to other linkshells. I have told our leaders how I feel about this person and our LS leader also reads this blog. :P

Ah… but on the bright side, they’ve finally stamped their foot down that they won’t tolerate anymore badmouthing. (=D) *lol* I think my boyfriend said it best, “No one needs to be around a poisonous attitude like that.” Granted, “that” was applying to an elitist attitude, but still the same vein: negative attitudes. :)

Why do you think I don’t really feel like coming to Sky-events anymore…. :p All of the nice people I can see in other events, and I’m getting quite tired of the fact that every time one annoying person goes, another pops up.

Arte says they have no choice but to recruit everyone to keep the shell alive and kicking, but I’m just so tired of all the shit I have to listen to. As you know, I don’t take well to listening to some pre-teen kid acting like an ass or being otherwise annoying. So my solution to the situation is just to not come. I’ve been thinking about quitting Sky a lot lately too since I don’t even need anything from there.

I have a much better time in Dyna for example, there are bad days there too of course, but overall. Whereas every time I come to a Sky event, it seems like there’s always someone poisoning the athmosphere with stupid crap.

The fact that said person now got a nice drop when he didn’t even have points for it kinda was the last nail in the coffin for me. I don’t wanna help people like that get anything.
