BLOG Discussion - SotA: Too Rich For My Blood

The whole is it Ultima / Ultima Online thing still grinds my gears. It was so deliberately vague and misleading that I forgive both sides expecting to get both.

As for the bizarre play method (SPO SPOFF Multi bla bla bla) I thought it was going to be like Dark Souls with cities being the online part where you would bump into the more MMOish aspects of the game. It sounded so fucking good in my head I didnt stop to realise that they had promised nothing.

I think everyone here has become their own Guardian

I dont know, typically you do it yourself, you just go to your friendly google and type in dox and pony up. Not hard at all.

People get funky when money is involved!

Well, it took this to have me break a promise that I would not ever come back here, not only did I come back. I also registered an account to make a post.

"I am Avatar Acid, I am the Insane Membrane" -- Really? Just.. jaw dropping wow! Not only do I applaud you Sean for an amazing Moon tower build that I still use in my minecraft server, with Amber Raines office. .. thank you for that. But for the trolls that Insane Membrane stabbed at me in such vicious manner at the very same time. Well played mate, well played indeed! If this is truly the case, if you truly are both. Well played and respected for the acting performance and being able to pull both personas off so well.

In the past 2 years, I have promoted the heck out of how awesome Avatar Acid is, and I still do. Much respect for all you have done! No lie. You did some amazing things! While at the same time have had some serious attacks in the blogs posted by Insane Membrane, where I was made so upset, rather rudely disrespected and in all honesty, had me going "WTF mate, your a complete douche bag, get your facts straight before reporting the dirt.", leading me to stand happily and proudly as I defended myself and proved just where I stood. Which showed so much of the truth instead of what was mistakenly posted in the blog, and proved myself to not be anything worthy of the attacks. The conversations we had in post blog rabble had shown where IM and I even came to terms - He even went in and corrected some of those blogs.

Insane Membrane kept me on my toes, kept me honest, but then in turn I also kept him honest where myself and what I do in this community kept him honest and reporting facts instead of the initial falsehoods (i can link to some of those, but he knows its true)

Avatar Acid, you have and shall always be respected mate, and one of my favorite memories in Shroud will always be that moon Tower! Insane Membrane, you little troll.... I knew there was a reason that deep down you had some respect from me, I could not place why, but something had me thinking "there is something about him that just isn't that dickish" even tho I at times really was hurt and hated you. You kept me honest!

Now.. the only thing that is left to question -- Can you prove it? Can you prove you are ... The Avatar Acid and not just another attempt on trying to fool some? It has been done before ^.^

Or I don't think this one was ever uploaded publicly.

Oh damn, I've been compared to the evil Republican demon-god! Lol, burn

Like I said, I really did want to participate more. All of the community driven efforts to enrich the game, through the Developers as we were sold, were shut down hard pretty much. Yet some of the community through back channels still get to participate in that sort of thing. This is what creates enough hate for me to channel it into something like IM and just lash out with the parodies and comedy heavy blog articles. I mean if anyone is taking them too seriously; you're doing it wrong!

The community is still doing some cool-ish things on their own, like the NBTT plays as you mentioned. In the future if I'm ever accepted or allowed to participate in them again I might because that is cool. There is nothing wrong with RP and I enjoy it also. These things are community driven, it can be fun and enrich the game, it can help the Devs but it isn't what I was sold is all.

Oh everybody is secretly hooked on tabloid crack It is ok!

Every girl who doesn't sit there and flash her tits in my face on a cam is going to get a crap ton more respect from me than their counterpart would. There is nothing I hate more than fake gamer girls, until I think of something that I do that is.

Glad to know I may still be welcome, now I can play an evil Lich...uh, in the NBTT that is...

Not at all. Though some who know me would be pretty surprised to see that this is me that is all.

I don't even know you and I'm surprised it's you. I thought you were just another asshole like the rest of us. I feel like we've been duped. Shame on you, sir.

Kind of?  Actually that thread was started by the person who is harassing me. I played along to see what they would do. I left the thread up, but then they started downloading some pictures from my work twitter account and changing their avatar with it I killed it.

Don't you dare let me down.

I knew who IM was a few days ago, and played SotA with him a bit after finding out. I was pretty surprised, though I never really knew AA in the SotA forums because he didn't slam me and seemed pretty innocuous.

There is something genuine, where IM and AA meet. It can't all be totally duped.

He's a damn fanboi. No wonder his fury went to this blog when the game kept turning into weird things.

The amount of anger towards something often reveals our real attachment to it.
