Minor rant, not to cause drama or anything, but because it's annoying and figured I'd mention it.
I have a veritable crapload of buddies in this game. Most of them are non-communicative (which is totally my preference honestly) and some talk from time to time or say hello when they pass by me (which is also totally cool). But then there's the "crazies."
There are some people that play this game, like would be found in any game of course, that are flat out annoying. Talking constantly, typing in all capital letters with more exclamation points than are allowed by law in 4 countries and 37 states. To head this one off too, yes I know about blocking, and I do from time to time, and yes, it works very well.
My biggest buddy pet peeves are this fun list:
- You've been my friend for almost 14 seconds, can I have a key to your house? (Sorry, but if I don't know you in real life and know I can trust you, that's just not happening.)
- Where do you live? How old are you? Are you a girl? (For these, I play with a relatively sane "don't crap where you eat" type policy. This is a game, I'm not answering personal questions, ever.)
- My favorites, and the ones that get blocked the fastest are the ones that become abrasive when I deny them the above things. I've been called a jerk for not telling someone how old I am. I've been hounded with repeated attempts to get me to give out a key to my house to people after denying them and gently explaining why. (And I don't own a bog house!)
None of these things bothers me enough to report these people and certainly none of them make me want to stop playing this game, but people do make for entertaining stories. I hope some part of this was interesting or entertaining or something others could relate to. Have a lovely day.
