Seems like a good place to mention that some people are actually a wee bit suspicious of you, MF. So, it's my turn to ask you a genuinely curious question: Why did you join OWF if you have no interest in Odd World? As far as I know, you've never posted about it, and you don't seem to have any ties with anyone that would lead you to these forums. How exactly did you run across this place?

OANST 06-01-2006 07:36 PM

The thought had crossed our minds that you might be Dino. Not accusing. Just saying that the thought is floating around out there.

Mutual Friend 06-02-2006 07:14 AM

There was a thread not long ago (or maybe it was, never mind) where a fair few people said they stayed pretty exclusively in the off topic zone, or section, or whatever. Erm, I’m the same. Your question read more like you not wanting me to be here and indignantly asking why I was. :) Oh well.

I’m here cos a friend of mine used to post on here (and he is a Oddworld-y type person, I don’t like computer/console games, really) and I was bored one day and joined! I never usually bother with internet forum things (apart from IMDb) because they’re so full of idiots. I’ve actually just made him come back on, cos he had gone, pretty much, but as he didn’t remember his password he has a new name. Oh, he used to be called Esus. Unless he changed it after that. But anyway, that’s why.

And to clarify: I’m not Max the Mug, I’m not Dino or anybody else. Sigh. I REALLY, REALLY am a real boy. Let discussion continue on Holland and its peadophile politicians!

EDIT: While you could continue discussing THAT, you'd be in the completely wrong thread. Whoops...

Was das fuch? Shouldn't this be in the Welcomes and Birthdays section?

Abecrazy 06-02-2006 06:24 PM

Hmm... I don't know. I think I'm curious about the same thing Fax is curious about. Do you plan on staying here as a regular member, Abecrazy? I still find it all a little strange. You don't really "sound" like a thirty-year-old.

Good Gawd.

You guys don't have to believe me. That's up to you but I can tell you that I'm not trying to "Pull the wool over" on you or f*ck with your mind.
I am who I am and my son is who he is. Take it or leave it. I have nothing to prove. I plan on staying because I like the game and think it's cool to know there are others out there with similar interests.

As for sounding like a 30 year old...what are we supposed to sound like?

Mutual Friend 06-02-2006 06:27 PM

Oh look - some more paranoid 'who be you?!' shenanigans. God, it's becoming an infection in this place, 'ave a word with yourselves.

AND....
 
:

Dyslexia is indeed characterised by a fair few of those descriptions. However, not everyone with dyslexia can be said to have high IQ {I'm aware IQ tests can give false results to people with dyslexia, but I would not say that ALL people with dyslexia are of above-average IQ}.

Because of my constant spelling errors from a young age and difficulty speaking certain phrases {words being said in the wrong order, or else unable to "speak" numbers in sequence} I may well have a mild form of dyslexia.


If you do not have a word processor, I recommend downloading Open Office. It is an emulated version of MS Office and is completely free.

I didn't say he suffered from ALL of the characteristics. I just said that those are some of the characteristics. I wanted to show you all that he really can't help it and is trying. That's all.

Mutual Friend 06-02-2006 06:45 PM

Oh wait, apologies - didn't realise this gal was THAT gal. Paranoid finger pointing warranted!

Ugh. Bite my arse.

Mutual Friend 06-02-2006 07:11 PM

I know, especially as you've just been nice to me (well, sort of) in another thread! Soz.

Abecrazy 06-02-2006 07:21 PM

I'm kind of between a rock and hard place.

I like your jaded wit, it makes me laugh just not when it's pointed at me.

AquaticAmbi 06-02-2006 08:30 PM

Well, most 30-year-olds don't tell kids to bite their arses. But other than that, we really don't possess any reason not to believe you, so happy posting and don't take what anyone says to personally.

Yes, of course, your significant and respectable amount of time here sure has given you some brilliant insight.

You speak as if it is a complex thing. Here's how it works: I click on a thread, read messages that go like this - 'oh, I'm a little unsure that you're actually you'. THEN, this is the good bit, I read enough of these types of messages across enough threads and I can go to myself: blimey, these people do this a lot, don't they? Stop being an idiot, all you had to say is that I was right.

Hah - owned indeed!!!!

:rolleyes:

Who said you were right? In case you didn't hear this before, OWF has acted as a home for a lot of stupid multies, why shouldn't we be justified for suspecting that you might be one as well?

Mutual Friend 06-03-2006 04:05 PM

I said: "Oh look - some more paranoid 'who be you?!' shenanigans. God, it's becoming an infection in this place, 'ave a word with yourselves."

I never said you weren't right to do so, I was basically pointing out how tedious it was. And I'm right. So, why this member couldn't just say 'yeah, you're right' or shut up I don't know...

Rich 06-03-2006 04:25 PM

Why the hell do you all fight so much recently? Mutual Friend (or Fuck, whatever) is right, you don't need to be some kind of wizened veteran to know that there's major multi-suspicision being thrown around far too easily nowadays.

Ambi, looks like we started some sort of trend with Wired, eh? ;)

used:) 06-03-2006 04:51 PM

For the sake of my sanity, I will end this. You're right Mutual Friend. You have always been so correct, and will always be correct. Happy? :p

Mutual Friend 06-03-2006 05:43 PM

More than words can say. I think I might be welling up... :eek:

'Cause we're all, in Dino's words, little misters and misses Popular. Obviously, everyone wants to be like us and follow in our footsteps. I'm flattered really.

Ok I hesitate to say this because you have been nice to me BUT isn't saying something like "Most 30 year olds don't..." like saying "Most teenagers....." No one likes to be stereotyped.
I have 7 brothers and so yeah...I do tell people to bite my arse.

Even if I tried to prove to all of you who I am most of you would doubt it anyway. I could link you to my blog..but that's got some really personal stuff on there and I'm not sure if I want you all to read it.

*shrug* Up to you. I really don't care.

Facsimile 06-05-2006 01:43 AM

So, The Exoddus is posting again. Out of curiosity, what exactly are you, Abecrazy, getting out of visiting the Oddworld Forums now?

oddveteran93 06-05-2006 03:59 AM

Well I think she said she joined because she enjoys games and Oddworld games and she wants to talk to people and also to keep a watchful eye on her son.

AquaticAmbi 06-05-2006 08:29 PM

I'd be mortified and extremely awkward if my mom talked on a forum that I talked on too.

Anywho, most teenage stereotypes are negative. "Most teenagers aren't capable of mature conversation" is the exact opposite of "Most thirty-year-olds are mature in conversation." A teenager to defy a stereotype is a positive thing. An adult to defy a "stereotype" (I see it more as an "expectation") in this way is a negative.

skillya_glowi 06-06-2006 08:49 AM

That's exactly why I delibarately conceal from my mom every single forum I go to.
However, for me it is no threat. My mom doesn’t even like Oddworld (she keeps saying it’s childish and stuff like that) , let alone want to go on a forum with a whole bunch of Oddworld-crazed maniacs.

Abecrazy 06-07-2006 02:47 PM

I don't stereotype people because I ,myself, do not like to be stereotyped.

I'm not a gamer. Hell, I'm not good at most games but for some reason I am kick butt at Abe when everyone else around me said it was to hard. Hard..yes, complex...yes, fun? Absolutely.

The Exoddus isn't at the age where he is mortified by me yet. I cross my fingers and hope that the day where he is will never come but I know it will sooner or later.

When it comes to the safety of my child you bet your sweet booty that I am going to check what he does online. I may not be able to catch it all but sure as hell can try. I just want to make sure he is safe.

It can be a dark and nasty place out there.

PS if you are suspicious of me..that's fine. Like I said in my original post, most of you are at an age where I'd expect that from you. (Oh! Was that a stereotype??)

Yes, you filthy white person.

Meh... We've had parents checking/being on the same forum as children before. Atusi shared his account with his father.
