haha, seeing mog say those things reminds me of, like, the wimpy, annoying middle-school kid who gets made fun of behind his back and then he talks to the school counselors and they get the kids suspended or something, and then when the kids come back from suspension, they talk about mog even more and hate him for telling on them. and then he cant get involved in a conversation without harboring negative feelings towards those people even when the whole situation only started because he was annoying them and being a jerk to begin with, and then they stop caring about all that stuff, and mog still is upset.
yeah.

It's nice to see that you don't know what the hell you're talking about and you're trying to hard to fit in yourself, mkkmypet. Way to go! Good job!

Anyway, it's not like fitting in here is hard, but it's an acquired taste; you either do or you don't, and you're not any worse or better of a person either way. GW definitely has its own style that not everyone is going to like.

Mog, if you hate it here so much why the hell are you here? seriously man are you some kind of masochist?

I don't fit in here and there's a lot of things I could point out about GW that I don't like but I certainly don't hate it here. This place is too big and varied to just collectively hate. I come and I go as I see fit.

Alright guys, cool it. We've established that M.O.G. doesn't like it here at GW due to MANY FACTORS and this topic is just turning into another MOG VS THE WORLD topic so no more of this shit.

Afura did not want this topic to turn in to this, so let's post about how you do/don't fit in at GW.

I always feel like if GW was a movie I would be an extra!

I think I am one of those people that if I suddenly went missing there would be no mention of it other than 'hey where'd that TREG guy go'.

Also, pretty sure very few people would be heartbroken here if I got a dangerous medical condition :(

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

for a brief period i felt as though i fit in, a little. i think i was also most active then, though, and since then a combination of school and vague sense of alienation have kept me from participating to any large degree. i'm pretty content to be a passive observer though.

factors that contributed to my feeling somewhat at ease with posting: i participated in irc and werewolf on it, did some mtc, did breakfast club, and uh what else... netplay i guess. mainly i was just more involved and thus had more to talk to people here about. also it was the summer and i didn't have anything else to do. it's the summer again, but it's hard to get past that barrier of unease so i doubt it will happen again.

bravosector i'm not really sure what you're talking about/if you are serious in any way but mog posted directly above you and a bunch of people are talking to/about him

oh huh FOR ALL YOU NOOBS OUT THERE: just participate in a bunch of shit and you will probably feel more at home

I think your perceptions may come from the fact that you are used to smaller communities that don't have the same level of debate and criticism as ours mog?



I know for a fact you don't have it on rpgmaker.com but then again that could be why we find it alot less interesting and you find it alot more welcoming.

edit: I also hope you don't just come here to advertise with that stupid little sig either.

WAIT, I just noticed all the posts above mine. This has been covered methinks, back to the topic please

We could seriously use this to make a sticky for new members if we got some key points up, thoughts ase?

like a new topic which says welcome to gaming world, here is some key points you should know about in order to feel like a part of the community:

*participate in forum events

*use irc

*understand our aquired comedy etc

* dont take everything too seriously

*participate in forum debates

I don't think I fit in anymore, but that's just because I'm not entirely active and its been a fort night since I've even TOUCHED RPG Maker or wanted to contribute resources.  I guess I'm just waiting around for GW to blossom again so I can have an excuse to become active, but damn, for as long as I've been here, I don't think I've made a (good) name for myself yet.  I don't even have a damn premium account.

I tend to lurk around and observe things, sometimes just nitpicking at others' posts without really going out of my way to type up an informative, thought-out one myself.  I've been on IRC in the past, but I usually end up uninstalling the X-Chat/mIRC program altogether when I get bored of it.  I do enjoy reading other posts on here (particularly in political discussions), but I'm not even confident enough in my own ability to debate in that area, that's why I choose not to really add anything in serious discussions.  The only discussions I really feel like I can add to are ones pertaining to music, but it's so subjective that it'll never be more than some guy's opinion.  I don't know.

oh like a welcome topic


yeah maybe that'd be nice, but i think this is all sort of knowledge anyone who's going to fit in eventually acquires for themselves!  like, DO STUFF, COME ON IRC, JOKE AROUND is pretty basic!



also sion youre like one of the FOUR MODS who for some reason weren't premium'd when they quit.  you should ask about that or something.

edit.  actually now that i think about it three of the four i can think of are you hydan and darkblood.  i guess no one cares about resources....

Yeah but I guess it makes the transition period easier for noobs who are like: 'what is going on here!, how come everyone is mean etc etc'

Yeah, that's a decent idea.

As long as we make it clear that these aren't REQUIREMENTS, just helpful hints if you want to fit in better and maybe stand out a little bit

i've been posting on and off around here for years and never really made an effort to fit in. i guess i'm too afraid of saying something really stupid? i mostly stay to enjoy the comedy or the read the debates that go on.

what i mostly love about this place is that people can't get away with saying racist homophobic shit without being called out on it... like that topic in p 9/11 mentioned earlier, you NEVER find that here, which is a relief because i think that stuff is very common (rottentomatoes.com debate forum REEKS of that kind of stuff, and it's a pretty big community). i've become so used to GW's no-bullshit attitude that running into some of the WILDER areas of the internet leaves me kind of culture shocked.

sorrow is the key that gets our tears out of eye jail.

Yeah, they both disappeared off the face of the Earth.  As for the resources forum, I guess so...it's definitely not as active as it used to be, either.  I remember when there'd be 5-6 new threads a day with people just requesting shit for their RM games and it was too much for Hydan.  It's definitely inactive now, but then it was a big enough deal to have Faust and a crapload of other members cavity search the new applicants raw (we tied so Bart gave us both modship).  My mod history aside, I think I'll just buy premium whenever I can.  Otherwise I wouldn't really be helping GW out.

Not to stray off topic too much, but yeah, I think I DID at one point fit in, just not anymore.  I need to find a new niche, which will probably end up being music creation.
