I'm legit about my question about the cops. It's been bothering me all day. I know there must be another way to comprehend it but I just can't make it make sense.
The internet is really no different to real life. Anonymity can certainly bring out the worst in people, but other people can only have an effect on you if you let them.
Harassment and bullying can only effect you if you let them. Did you get this from the end of a Thundercats episode or something? Just because Lionar told you it, doesn't mean it's true.
I wish there was some form of forum credibility, or people just got jailed for overuse of the Abuse flag like there used to be for people who issued constantly.
Seriously, it sucks that someone has taken shit so far as to harass you in a variety of ways OOC. Nobody deserves that, regardless what they've done ICly, and it's exceptionally dumb every time it has happened.
However, when people act like spoiled children and spam the Abuse flag on someone because they don't like them, even in a post where they literally only answered a question about an acronym, it severely hampers the tone you're trying to convey. Act like a grown up if you want to get treated like a grown up.
Cascades of quicksilver light streak across the firmament as the celestial voice of Ourania intones, "Oh Jarrod..."

And yet, when little whiny douche bags come up on my screen, and ask stupid questions and insinuate douche baggery. I flag, because we all love flags, flags are worn by every nation and bring happiness, joy, and utter terror as that country advances into your city and destroys it.
One day a flag will rise up and it will say to all. "Dis dude crazy yo!" Then you will truly understand the need for such flags, and it will be glorious. That flag will be planted down among the posts which did not belong, because they were merely someones attempt to undermine the message of the post in order to protect their friend. So stand strong as a flag comes and is planted among the roots of your posts forever saying. "Hey duude, we doin' shit tonaight?"
Jesus christ every single one of you shut the fuck up.
Bluef, I'm sorry that it's come to this and I hope that things get straightened out.
No? Who died and made you queen of topics, christ. This is a FORUM.
I feel bad for you Bluef, no one should have to go through that. I'd think it shouldn't disrupt you playing Achaea if you do want to continue playing, because if anything, the one place you would be protected from harassment is here. Issue the douche if they come after you in game.
For real life? As you've said, there are better authorities to turn to. All I can say is don't worry about the little neckbeard.
The way that it is written just begs, nay demands, drama. The coquettish refusal to name the stalker; the passive-aggressive blaming of the administration (who I can guaranfuckingtee are all over this shit, because once the police are involved, your whole corporate survival is at stake, and they have a history of prioritising any kind of RL harassment and dealing with it as well as they possibly can); the patented faux-flounce out of the game (@Antonius said it pretty well - if you're leaving, just say you're leaving. Posts like this are just a desperate cry for attention and validation); the resorting to a forum where you have a history of instigating/responding to e-kerfuffle and drama; the clique piling on; the haters counter-piling on.
There are some abusive douches who play Achaea, no doubt and if they are, at all, fucking with you IRL, that needs to be addressed (by the game admin, the authorities, whatever) but this thread is just an invitation to a lot of nonsense. Do you like the nonsense? It's hard to avoid the conclusion that you do.
My predictions:
this thread will be locked
your clique will flag this for abuse
you will continue to play the game
you will be fine
Timux will not hit anyone with a meat cleaver
If I'm wrong, I promise to flag every post Silas makes for abuse.

I just wonder *why* this thread was made.
