Being scared away by something so trivial is a poor show.

Come at me bitch

You're pathetic, it's really stupid to be like that to a new member just to annoy them. Also, I would hardly consider 'QUOTES. AT. START. OF. POST.' a sensible suggestion.

++New Target Acquired++

Oh?

Yeh you'd like that wouldn't you. ;D

Oh yes.. He loves being scared away over trivial matters.

I did it enough times a couple of years ago.

I do somewhat agree with this, but on the other hand the member should of just ignored it and just carried on, we are just joking around after all. It's not like your intentionally trying to make every new member leave are you?


...Are you?

Is explaining the logical succession of a post really synonymous with being a dick?

Okay stop replying before the quotes, it's getting on my nerves.
I do really agree to the sense that we were dicks to Nomadpaec. He could have been a great member if we'd been a bit nicer to him. New people here don't know us and understand our jokes. You guys are intimidating as fuck to new members, I remember how I felt when I first joined.

But you stayed. Why? Because we didn't take the piss 24/7. Why? Because you're not a whiny cunt like Nomadpaec.

Should we be dicks to new guys? Not really. Does a member have to be easygoing and tolerant to last here? Yes. The kind of guys who leave over tiffs like this wouldn't stay long in any case. Point = Moot.

Well I would like you guys to be a bit considerate of the fact that most newbs don't really know the ropes yet :)

Okay.

Come on, everyone acknowledge T-nex's request.

I still don't understand what was wrong with my constructive criticism.

whoa, dude. you're, like, being serious? holy shit. well, i'd better clean up my act.

in other news, nothing is changing because you got 'serious'. and following that sorry speech up with another post that actually takes the piss out of the member you're trying to white knight for isn't the most logical of moves.

oh, you're breaking my heart! please stop the hurting and lets be friends forever!

i mean, come on. do you really think i give a fuck what some whiny cunt that ran away crying thinks of me? as far as i can see, there wasn't any hazing even going on, just gentle jibes and constructive criticism. to be honest, you're starting to fit into the 'whiny cunt' category right now.

do you know how many times i've heard the "he could have been a great member" argument? too many times. if he couldn't handle us joking around, which is what we were doing, then he certainly wouldn't have stuck around when we did get serious.

and before anyone uses the excuse that i was the one being serious, or that i was trying to force him out, let's remember that i didn't even appear in this thread until after he had his big hissy fit and left.

i mean, fucking hell. i'm so sick of people blubbing over how 'mean' we are with new members. grow a spine, children.

The post above me just made my day. :p

Like i said... I didn't feel anyone was mean this time. Perhaps a bit teasing. But it pays off to remember where the people come from in general... Just my opinion. I'm not gonna chastise anyone for what happened here.


Though I do wish this person would come back and challenge himself a little against his own reasons to leave. It seems he was trying to tease back, and then something popped a nerve and he ran. Quite disappointing imo :(

Have you tried an Email to him directly?

Why would we go to the effort? If he wants to go cry about us giving criticism then poking fun at him when he doesn't listen who gives a rats arse?

I might email him anyway, lol.

Phylum that's very bad taste.
I wouldn't email him purely because I'm too lazy. Anyone else is free to. Really don't care.
EDIT: Sheri you speedy shit.

Oh, so I should be fit into the 'whiny cunt' category for having a bit of sympathy for someone who just joined. As I mentioned before, 'QUOTES. AT. START. OF. POST.' isnt exactly sensible is it? I might not post quotes below, but I can see why he decided to ignore it.

You people are the ones who are pretty pathetic to even turn this around and say that I was whining I didn't read all the bullshit so I may be mistaken. You guys came at me for the way I posted thats really immature and stupid, then to get an email sent to me over me making my leave. Very very immature.

You people need to understand its just a fucking forum for Oddworld which is a game that I loved to play. The same way I said I was an asshole or hated people that couldn't spell that was the first reply was someone trying to show me that I was a bad speller after I stated the word 'Try'.

How the fuck am I a Troll when you little cunts end up sending me eMails just because I think your all little kids that are just discovering how to act stupid and or get a boner over what someone has to say on a forum?

Seriously Fuck off.

I thought this was a site of Discussing Oddworld not Discussing how much of a prick you are to someone else.

Have you tried looking at any other threads?

Aaaaand suddenly I don't feel sympathetic anymore.

Though that said, did someone actually send him an email?

Yes, Someone actually did send him an email.

Well that was silly.

Yes alot of stuff that was said here was silly.

Meh, new dude, you just need to chill out a little and not take everything seriously. OWF is a good place with decent people if you can get on with them. I hate to say this, but you really haven't done yourself any favours here - Even if the regulars aggravated your argument a little.

It is that, check OD.

If you decide to stay, then welcome.

How am I the one taking everything seriously when people were complaining about the way I posted? lol...Besides the fact I wasnt raging out until people started acting like dick heads around here.
