I can tell if I'm not wanted.
 
When I was banned a month ago, I wondered why. When I realized I was back I returned, and finally read a message from Nate stating that he was under the impression I try to be an annoying spammer. I've sent him a message saying that I don't. I tried to be funny, you guys thought I was annoying. I liked being called annoying so I continued failed witty-ness with a bit of intentional spamming. So it got you angry. Let's get something straight; I am not talking to you as Mars the spammer, Mars the child, or Mars the Mudoken. I'm speaking to you as a fully functional human being, and I want to be treated as one. I want no jokes, no sarcasm, no trolling nor wit from you on my request. So here it is: I want to leave.

But I know that some people here may like me, among those who would call me scum, so I've made a vote. See, I know how Ackro wanted to leave, then decided to come back and cycled through those moods, but after the month I've been gone, I've realized I'm not dependent on this site anymore for entertainment and can leave with my back turned. I've been cured of my addiction, so before I revive it I want to make sure I'm not throwing this opportunity away. So should I stay as the annoying youthful spammer I once was? Or should I walk away, a changed man. You have till the end of March. I leave it to you, my friends, to make the decision for me.

This reminds me of the ending cliffhanger in Abe's Oddysee. Question is, do out of the hundreds of users, most of them like me?

You're being waaay too dramatic, and posting a whiney goodbye won't bring a tear to anyone's eye.

Have a sense of humor and you'll be fine, pal.

MarsMudoken 03-04-2010 08:10 PM

I'm not speaking in a crybaby voice. That was my logical speech.

Taco 03-04-2010 08:11 PM

What Pilot said. Also keep in mind that this is a forum for a series of games that hasn't seen a new game in years since OWI is in some sort of coma. Also, also keep in mind that when you put people together on the internet they can't help being sarcastic, cynical and extremely cunty.

Don't let it get to you, but if it does get to you then leave. If you're a functional human being you'll be able to make the decision yourself.

MarsMudoken 03-04-2010 08:12 PM

I was under the impression someone liked me. If no one does I don't want to make people mad. See? Logic.

I'm getting sarcastic again. Can you guys just vote?

Nate 03-04-2010 08:14 PM

I don't get why there are only two options there. There should be a third one wherein you stay but stop spamming.

Frankly, you will never get far by promising from the beginning to be a spammer.

EDIT: Third option added to poll.

Pilot 03-04-2010 08:20 PM

I'm voting for another beer. Nate, will you add "Another Beer" to the poll?

Taco 03-04-2010 08:20 PM

I can't really say whether or not I like you MM since I hardly post here anymore and I don't know you that well. Stay if you like it here but don't spam since that's strictly against forum rules from what I've heard

Pilot 03-04-2010 08:28 PM

Mars, I can tell you're trying to be adult about the situation, but the adult thing to do is to not ask for pity, which you're evidently doing through the emotionally charged coloration and word choice you've chosen to use in your poll. Nobody here's gonna feel sorry for you.

The adult thing to do is let the past lie and move forward with the new you. :)

MarsMudoken 03-04-2010 08:30 PM

You surprise me. That won't stop me. I apologize.

i just want to see if people like me or hate me that's all.

Pilot 03-04-2010 08:32 PM

Why is it so important as to whether a forum of people you don't know approve of "you" or not? Is the person you present in your posts really "you?" You're in for some disappointment if you're going to choose to let people you don't even know dictate how you feel about yourself. :(

MarsMudoken 03-04-2010 08:38 PM

I don't even know what you're saying anymore.

Nate 03-04-2010 08:45 PM

You're making this too personal. People don't hate you. They hate your spam. If you didn't spam, they would like your posts much more.

MarsMudoken 03-04-2010 08:50 PM

Then choose the third option you dumbbell.

Phylum 03-04-2010 08:52 PM

I'm sure he's smart enough to realize that himself...

It doesn't matter.

What Nate says.

mr.odd 03-04-2010 09:47 PM

Nobody hates you. What is giving you this impression?
We are annoyed by you, but we don't hate you. Just respond to a thread without spaming.

T-nex 03-04-2010 09:57 PM

I wouldn't spend my time hating someone on a forum. But I do tend to skip MarsMudoken's posts because they are rather pointless and annoying usually.

Mars why don't you just stop spamming and start making intelligent posts? That would take care of all your problems.

Disgruntled Intern 03-04-2010 10:29 PM

Meh. Throwing a pity party is more likely to make people dislike you.

Taco 03-04-2010 10:35 PM

Hasn't this already happened once (well many times) before? I remember seeing a "classics" thread about AFOS leaving, and they actually hated him from what I could see.

MarsMudoken 03-04-2010 10:35 PM

I spoke logically not emoly. Think damnit.

'emoly'. And 'Think damnit' in the same post. Nice.

MarsMudoken 03-04-2010 11:20 PM

I detect sarcasm...

Phylum 03-04-2010 11:27 PM

Smooth, play the sarcasm card...

Edit: More.

I suppose that was supposed to be sarcastic as well? I wouldn't mention it unless 6 posts before that Nate, whom the comment was directed at, said

You forget; I'm 12.

MeechMunchie 03-04-2010 11:31 PM

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

For once, I'm joking. Mars, don't be melodramatic. We're all mainly reasonable people. We're not going to hate someone unless they act like an idiot. Unfortunately, you do that a lot. By no means are you the only one, I'm hardly perfect myself. But if you read the rules and follow them, we'll all get along better. If you think that's out of your reach, maybe you should leave. It's up to you.

If you should choose to stay, however, don't expect any special treatment. Have a sense of humour, learn to laugh at jokes at your expense. No-one's fighting to make you stay now, and they won't for a while.

Phylum 03-04-2010 11:35 PM

Crashpunk is an excellent example of someone who was an annoying twat that became a loved part of the community. He's admitted that, else I wouldn't say it.

We can't forget. But did your parents? I mean do they ever bother to hit ctrl+h, or are they as sick of you as we are? If I had a 12 year old spending time on a forum like this, full of people like us, I'd be none too thrilled.

MarsMudoken 03-04-2010 11:40 PM

Mom isn't.

Also what's with the grade-2 Abe drawings?

Grade-2? Someone worked very hard on that. So, what, you stop spamming and turn into a fucking asshole?

Way to be, asshole.
