From: Katja Marlowe Darn. I knew that that animation pack I bought was missing something. Of course that was signified by the notecard that said "YOUR FIC ANIMATIONS ARE NOT HERE. You are not a member. Please pay Enabran Templar obscene amounts of money and you might get them". Hey, man, it's not my fault the prices are steep. I have to pay FIC licensing fees same as everyone else. It's worse than Scientology. In order to become "truly feted" I have to pay for courses and counseling. It's getting to the point where I need to take out another bank loan just to reach the next level.

Shh. Enabran, you tell people that, then they know you're not a true member and you'll never sell those animations!  |

As soon as you’re born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class avatar is something to be
A working class avatar is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you’re clever and they despise a fool
Till you’re so f&%$ing crazy you can’t follow their rules
A working class avatar is something to be
A working class avatar is something to be
When they’ve tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can’t really function you’re so full of fear
A working class avatar is something to be
A working class avatar is something to be
Keep you doped with prims ,animations and video streams,
And you think you’re so clever and classless and free
But you’re still f&%$ing peasants as far as I can see
A working class avatar is something to be
A working class avatar is something to be
There’s room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class avatar is something to be
A working class avatar is something to be
If you want to be feted well just follow me
If you want to be feted well just follow me

Classic.  Of course you do realise some will take it seriously, and point to this as 'proof'. Reminds me of a cartoon I once saw... Guy standing in hell, devil at his side but looking bored, saying, "Come on, come on, make up your mind already!" and before the guy are two doors... one marked 'Damned if you do' and the other 'Damned if you don't'.

From: Severe Whiplash I just got noticed throught my build work, often left them out in sandboxes The StarGate was the most often sandbox displayed build And these TIE Fighter variants were also often left about the sandboxes frequently got pos rates while i was offline as people noticed them and IM telling me of a job well done but here is my most recent one that has not been displayed in the sandboxes Shadow Lightsaber in FULL detail those are very cool builds severe, but as my initial post noted, not all of us can learn to build so quickly. people who can't build need a mechanism to gain noteriety as well.

From: April Firefly Yes, but I've forgiven J-Wu for posting about me she, I mean he is sometimes confused. That's why I didn't respond to the thread because she, I mean he made the thread kind of open, but since you point out that it's about a specific person, I'll own up and forgive her, I men him. i'm a robot now. you can call me it.

Who is it about then?
It's about either me or Prok, or even better, both of us.
I don't like humor that comes at someone else's expense, even though it tries to take on airs by calling itself satire. Giggling at other players behind hands from a corner is just grade school playground crap.
And this kind of crap ought to stop. Thinly veiled derision of other players is no better than threads with those players' names openly displayed on the subject line. It's far different from good-natured teasing, and I am totally sick of it.

coco I'm sorry Coco, I thought you liked satire. Remember your post about the Evil Lindens and the bridge they built. Wasn't that a form of satire? I remember when I was upset about it because it made the Lindens look evil. But you said it was just a story and fun. Isn't this the same? No one named names, not that I could tell. In your story you named the Lindens, even though I still don't understand how they could have been so evil when they removed the bridge rather quickly. I'm sorry this is all so hard on you. I don't see the bad that you do. I wish I wasn't so naive. If you really think this is so awful, I think you should AR it. If you really can't, I will do it for you. I am willing to make the sacrifice. I think you are a wonderful and creative person and I'm sorry to see you so upset or what I perceive to be upset. I know I thought you were upset before but you corrected me and told me you weren't. I'm sorry for following you in two threads, I'm trying to be helpful just the same way you are but I think we have different tactics.

From: Cristiano Midnight The sad part is with Torley gone, donations are down so all we could afford for a new mascot was Pandastrong Fairplay - and sadly, he does not look like one of the tiny pandas as expected. He doesn't even have a color scheme. He has only a man purse and a piss poor attitude. You know, I could make Panda into a panda.

Just as an aside, this entire thing has a song stuck in my head now!
You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner, and
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?
You had me several years ago
When I was still quite naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?
Well, I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your Lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and
You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

coco As difficult as it obviously is for you to grasp, it ain't 'all about you'. If you're that interested in playing mommy, go have a baby. Sheesh.

coco Yes, but you can't seem to see that you're the one who turned it into a thread about individuals. There is a very large number of people who could be painted with the brush Jauani laid out, not just you two.
