The internet is for lulz

Okay so, let me preface with a story:

This test, I was edging towards more achievements because I have very few for my level - blah blah blah - I messaged some people from my friends list with 'You're gunna be in BIG trouble' If they asked why, I explained it was because they were caught 'illegally downloading my music!'. Now, I didnt think that this would matter at all. However, it incited a certain glitch to express massive discontent over global chat - to which I responded with what else but Taylor Swift lyrics? Which only seemed to fuel the flame even more.

Eventually, a staff member messaged me about how 60% of the users I originally IM'd complained. When I told the staff member I had myself gotten no complaints but one, she responded with 'Why would you hear it? They complain to US the staff' & my only thought was -- How does a user even do that? did they use the bug feature? is there a bitch feature to use? & who would care this much?

(Now that I got that off my chest) The moral of the story is -- Its just a game, & now thats its back on closed, the threads are going to glowering with aggravated people who are bored & want their ever opinion heard (including me) but I really hope we can take it a different direction, given that maybe we wont be waiting 10 days this time.

So, I will leave you with the #1 doctor recommended stress/anxiety/anger-remover....
Enough Taylor Swift music to last you until next test.

  • I think everyone should entertain themselves with Tumblr.

    I'm even thinking about starting a Tumblr (that's primarily humorous) documenting my Glitchen's adventures in Ur from his/her/its perspective.

  • I have made a tumblr only to realize Im not exciting enough to ever actually post anything on it.. Everything I do is just a repost from GIF PARTY.

  • Yeah that may be funny for you Taylor, but I can completely understand how it would be annoying for the people you messaged.

  • Sorry I have to add, I'm not bored*.  But I do talk too much.  Perhaps talking too much makes me sound bored*

  • I missed all of the uproar, do you play music?  Was is music you wrote?  Who is Taylor Swift are you famous?

  • @Laurali -- I'm the exact same way, but tonight I'm talking too much AND I'm crabby, so I'm coming off 10x worse than usual.

  • "How does a user even do that? did they use the bug feature? is there a bitch feature to use? & who would care this much?"

    due to the nature of your IM, i asked the live help monitor if i was in trouble for something. not coz i thought you were a developer, but because maybe you had reported me for something you made up or thought was bad or something. they said the equivalent of "as far as i know, no"

    what i did wasn't technically a *complaint*, but i can see why the staff would be contacted directly due to the "trouble" nature of your IM, and i can see why they'd get annoyed about fielding the questions.

  • @ Everyone: http://taylorswiftgifs.tumblr.com/

    @ Laurali: I completely admit to not caring enough about other peoples feelings, but I do believe I cannot even begin to have anyone fathom the amount of backlash global chat endured because of me sending this to one specific glitchen. I'm not saying I'm always in the right, but to the extent of damage little things do on here, it makes me less careful because I already know that the feedback will be negative.

    @ xoxJulie: You just follow that link in the OP & let all your dreams come true.

  • Ah well at least you admit you don't care about other peoples feelings

  • Well, I hate Taylor Swift so you had IM'ed me, I'd've bitched until you apologized.

    @Cerulean: I'll follow that tumblr if you create it. I'm already following you anyway :D

  • I too am curious where the 'bitch to dev' button is. Haha. But really, people should try to sort things out with the other person before taking it to them. You do the Devs a disservice by bothering them with things like this.

  • @Laurali: I guess it came off that way, but thats not what I meant to say. I care about you all, and your feelings. But perhaps my own understanding of the internet & frank anonymity on Glitch leads me to not even begin to measure how people could care about these things because I myself wouldnt. Now, I obviously fight in the forums when I think someone is doing something rude - but (and for example) @ Striatic (without condemning you or judging you) I would never take anything from someone named Taylor Swift telling me I got caught illegally downloading her music over Glitch or any other game. You know?

  • Sorry, TS, not funny to play pranks on people you don't actually know.

  • Taylor Swift the musician isn't my cup of tea, but I don't *hate* her music. I don't get why people have to go to the extremes. Sure, I wouldn't listen to Taylor Swift's songs, but does that mean I have to hate her.

    Imo, it stems from jealousy. People have like this ingrained jealousy factor. If someone is successful, they're going to be filled with jealousy and hate for that person. I just don't get that attitude, but it's rampant here in America.

    We need to have more grace.

  • Larky lion, Candid Camera disagrees.

  • I don't know whether I believe Candid Camera is authentic or not :)

  • Fair enough.

  • @Taylor Swift I would have laughed.  Maybe only because I've never downloaded any of your music (legally or illegally).  lol.

  • Oh, I wondered what that message was about. 
    I thought it was because I dropped some salmon outside your house lol

    I personally wouldn't bother staff about something like that, as surely they have more important things to be doing. Also, it was just odd, not offensive. If I reported everything that was odd in the game, I'd get RSI from typing out bug reports. 
    I think maybe people just don't 'get' your sense of humor. I'm slowly getting used to it... I think.
    I did talk in group (not global) chat about getting your message, as someone else posted they'd got it, at the same time I saw the message pop-up, but I wasn't offended by it. I just thought it was weird. But weird + Glitch is quite normal :)

  • I think a dingo stole Jeremiah and called itself Taylor Swift. And went off its meds.

  • Taylor Swift,
     You continue to exhibit bizarre and  inappropriate behavior. I was on your friend's life and got that message. It freaked me out.. Someone must monitor your actions or                  YOU    try to stop to think. We realize you have to try a little harder than others.
