He even had the script quoted... He must not have seen through his vision of anger. I hope he does come back though...this was a huge misunderstanding...
Yeah I sent him a PM and apologized and explained the script so hopefully he won't leave! I feel kinda bad about it now :(

I barely know what IRC is so I guess I'm pretty far off from the inner circle. I pop up now and then and disappear
so not too active either. Someone bought me a premium so I guess I'm popular though :D

edit
Oh and some of the links you holes post in 9/11 are awesome.

Wow...  How come I didn't see this topic before?

Anyways, I don't really feel like I fit in here too well, but that's mainly because I don't know too many of you guys.  If someone spills a members name, I'll usually know who they are talking about, but if they said my name in a post, I feel that not many people would even know me.

I'm like the kid at a kegger that stands in the corner and drinks while everyone else plays beer pong, socializes, and make complete asses of themselves.  However, I'm probably wrong, and a few people may know me, but yeah...

God, that was the worst analogy ever...

Yeah, regarding the jokes and things like that, Hydan would always be talking about them, but because I didn't really have an involvement I couldn't grasp them enough to find them funny.
I decided to look at things for myself when the GWiki came along and after reading a lot of it, it made me want to post around the WHOLE FORUM more, solely so I don't miss things like the current gamesmasterjasper thread...

I fit in to the point where I'm one of the crowd laughing at the jokes, but I think it would be nice to get a taste of being the joker, it's just too difficult to get started really, but when it is started I love how every other regular joker gets in on it; chef and climbtree to name two...

I'm too old for this.

I don't really remember a lot of people from before, and just about everyone I do remember has changed their name at least three times in my absence.  I'm not too worried about "fitting in" or whatever, though.  I'm just gonna do my thing and hopefully not get banned again.

Yeaster is the member that fits in the least if you ask me.

...People actually know I exist here?  :rolleyes:


But no. I don't. I don't post here often enough, too UTR, which is what I want.

I think the day that Steel said "your my favorite member that I know nothing about and never heard of before" was the day I felt like I fit in the most.  I think I was  arguing with KK4 or posting about a news article about me that said my nickname was Sonic (as in the hedgehog).  It was the most glorious day of my life *sniffle*

Actually, I don't fit in here at all and only ever wanted to post my shitty RM2k3 games. (STOP USING THE NAME SCRIPT - a friendly member of the administrative team)

I'm an admin at RMN now.

it seems like I would have fit in here about a year ago, when everyone posting on this thread was still bright-eyed and optimistic.  but since the weight of the gaming world has crushed their spirits, I definitely feel like an outsider.

Can people please stop using the name script in this topic? Next person who brings it back here is going to get warned, no question. Just give it a rest people.

As to fitting in, it really depends on your perspective and personality. For example, I personally don't think that I ever fit in with or was part of the "hip" crowd, but that's never bothered me. But honestly, who is to say which GWers are hip and which ones are not? It's all so relative and truly I see GW as a large dysfunctional, yet lovable family. Even though you may not fit in with a certain group of GWers who share similar views and tastes, that's not the end of the world - GW is large enough that there are various crowds that you can belong to. GW is not composed of one group of people, and is not defined by them. It's a multi-faceted community.

I think it's best if you throw away any notions of fitting in and just be yourself. You don't need to reform who you are to belong to GW - as long as you can post coherently and have an open mind and attitude you'll "fit" in just fine. Oh, and being able to laugh at yourself helps.

Jeez, I use the name script for the first time ever and I get hammered.  I'll never fit in.

how does it feel... to have GW inside of you


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.

actually can we delete the posts that are still using the namescript in this thread, it's clearly still confusing people.
