I just came back here to say this:
Although I do report people, I do not block people, in this game and any other game. I listen to what people have to say, even if it is disgusting, so that A) my righteous fury may be better fueled, B) can custom tailor more appropriate post-match taunting, and C) because I think ignoring negative things in almost any aspect of life is counterproductive to solving problems. Too MANY girls (and people in general) just ignore this kind of bullshit. Not saying ignore doesn't serve its purpose, and not saying everyone should (or can) thrive on conflict like I do, but I wanna be right there in the middle of it, fighting back.
I certainly don't "not know" about ignoring and reporting, dummy. =P
Ok - my mistake; and right, I had not read the post about reporting, but I can justify that by the fact, that recently I have internet connection problem (constant 16kbps uber alles) - I can read the forum, but can't reply; I read your story the day before, and wanted to write that before I forgot. I meant not disrespect, nor taunting. ^^ I'm just still shocked that there are, for example, engies level 20+ who STILL don't know how to repair pyramidion engines efficiently, so I became a bit paranoid.
Well, if that's what you believe is right, and not just lack of certain knowledge, then pardon me, and have a nice day. ^^ All I hope is, that you had not mistaken me for an arrogant male ape, because that's what fuels MY HOMICIDAL RAGE.
About C)... it's good attitude, reasonable. I find it terribly exhausting when people yell, and what's more, make me unable to think properly, to focus, give orders to my crew or discuss possible strategies with allies. So I block lots of people. And when somebody trashtalks me... I rage for only short periods of time in game, because my rich personal live experience taught me, that decisions, thinking and strategy does not go well with my berserk. Fiery character works wonders only for short term assignments, and may have rather bad consequences in long term sight.
I only wish you luck not to be branded "feminazist", as I was eventually branded "Polish nationalist of intelligence below average".
Which is an absolute, menial bullshit.
This might be risky, but feel free to find me in the game, that might be an interesting match. ^^
@Koali - Schwalbestorm? Nah. The mistake was mine, and I was proven to be wrong, so why should I go stormin'? I only felt a bit attacked by Mazzic Kerde
@Mazzic Kerde - my respect is something that must be EARNED at first. That's why my respect means anything - I don't give it cheap. I've shown no disrespect, nor respect, for I had no reason to do so. As I said - I thought she had no clue about those, and that was a wrong assumption.
Edit: About my levels; I feel experienced not because of my levels, more because of my matches played count. And still I don't claim I know this game through. -.-
About bragging:
I've finally achieved something near peace, despite the awareness of the coming storm.
And some of my recent stories (duo - The Coming and The Atrophy) are quite positively received by readers, though I feel those are definitely the easiest ones. ^^
