End of Summer

[quish]

I hope Baha's tastes in ladies is improving based on what I heard last time the topic came up o.O

I don't go back until sept 8, i got a while. gonna be kickin it in t-dot for a while (for you uneducated non-canucks thats toronto) before i go back tho.  

Niko... heh... give it a semester and come back and talk on the subject.. You don't realize that EASIER classes are WORSE for you  ... easy classes you feel you waste your time attending and then your attendance slacks and then your grades start to slack.  It's the downfall of most first-years... they attend for the first month or two while shit is all easy and then they slow things down and BAM.. you just failed. And yes, it does happen that fast. Or maybe I just spend my first two years in the university bar and forgot everything >.> ....  

It's sad to say that my addiction to this game is a GOOD thing for me in a sense... its dropped my alcohol intake by literally 99% and saves me a LOAD of cash.  Granted my friends don't like that I don't come out as often anymore, but it makes it a special occasion and reason to party every time I do come out that way  ...

Quish: Not once have i ever missed a day of classes, unless based on illness, or family appointments.

I'm not about to "ditch" a class i pay for..theres no logic in that.

Theref: you say mind my own buisness? yet you made it known that you had a problem, which gave us right to respond. So i did.

I think i'll straight up say it, what happened to you guys isn't the rule, i think you guys are more of the exception. A bad one at that. Whether you think you arn't approaching this as what every college student does, that's how it comes off.

Stop making it sound like I said "this game was my life and it's all that I ever fuckin did."

Dictionary.com: Addict: To cause to become physiologically or psychologically dependent on a habit-forming substance: The thief was addicted to cocaine.
To occupy (oneself) with or involve (oneself) in something habitually or compulsively: The child was addicted to video games.

I did become addicted to the game

Go back and read the definition, then read what you wrote. Mind giving me a better word for your problem then?

And also just because i'm pissed off at your citing of the word Tea-bagging here goes a nice pic just for you found it while rumming google search under Therefused+fag+tea-bagging+favor_for_quish. I can only imagine the dwarf being the closest thing to theref, while quish being the higher gent in the photo. Was this just after graduation? Cause ya'll look totally trashed O.o

[theRefused]

yes, dickhead. I was addicted. But I had many other things going on in my life that I was paying attention to as well. An addiction doesn't mean that you spend every waking moment on a fucking game...you just spend too much god damned time playing it. Hence my saying "Stop making it sound like I said 'this game was my life and it's all that I ever fuckin did.'"

Oh and that picture was hilarious. I never laughed harder in my life.

Tip: Don't try to be funny ever again, Niko. It doesn't work for you. Especially when everyone knows that you are a complete asshole.

[Nikopiko]

Being a total asshole doesn't mean i'm not funny. Least you have good taste on the picture, i'm sure your mom placed it on the mantle as one of your accomplishments. Next to the trophy for that particular event you one.


If everyone knows that i'm a "complete" asshole, why are you the first to bring it to attention. Never had a problem with anyone else in this game but you. I'm sure all this anger is from your withdrawls.    Work through it, it'll get better Theref..

[tenka]

Hm..

It really isn't my intend to get myself involved in a discussion like this...
but I do want to raise a point...if what u guys think what Niko said was completely biased....and does not apply to u guys...then I guess I would hv to raise my voice and give Niko the support he deserves...

I'm in university...same program as u theref and quish...also engineering...and it's my last year next year...and pre-master...but i don't think what Niko said was bogus like the way some of u put it...

i do not see the need to quit the game...i'll definitely spend less time...but I hv to disagree when u said that it'll definitely ruin ur life and school like the way u put it Theref..
you might hv gotten too involved with FF and u saw the need to quit...but for you guys to keep yelling at niko saying that he's completely wrong is just not fair to him...u r being a bit too biased in ur opinion...everyone handles the game differently...it doesn't hv to necessarily ruin ur life...it could also add to it

lemme give u some examples...

Roshi, mana seph are RL frds.... they always grp together and wait for each other to do stuff together on FF....the game bring them together and allow them to get a chance to hv fun...

I also play with my RL frds in the game...and we talk over the phone while we do it... so instead of only thinking that it ruins ppl's life...i think it could also add to it...

I'm not trying to point out specifically who's rite and who's wrong...i understand what u were trying to say Theref and yes it was a fair warning...but i just want to point out that Niko did hv a point in what he said....and he doesn't deserve how's he's being treated...

[theRefused]

Wow im not going to say anything anymore. You guys are taking what I said and exploding it. I never said the game was ruining my life and I never said that playing the game will ruin your life. Most of the reason I'm responding in this thread is to reply to niko's idiotic comments. Tenka, you don't really play that much...you never did. So i don't see how it would really affect your social life all that much.

All I did was start a topic to see how people are doing and I get blasted. Awesome.

When I first said "you guys should stop the game before you start college..." I was replying to what core was saying. I mainly said it for omni, baha, and core cuz they are good guys and I'd rather they do well in life. Yea it's possible to do well in life and balance out your ffxi gaming, but it's not easy for -everyone-.

I enjoyed FFXI and I enjoyed most of the people in it. I don't feel as if I wasted my time. I just feel I could be spending my time better doing other things. I thought that maybe I'd say something as a little helpful suggestion to core, omni, and baha. When they responded, they weren't assholes about it. They know I only try to mean well for them.

And Niko didn't have to be such a jerk in replying to my first statement, tenka. I don't like when people (niko, and now you) manipulate what I say.

"it'll definitely ruin ur life and school like the way u put it Theref.."

*sigh*

[tenka]

like i said Theref ... i didn't say what u said is wrong in anyway...like i said...yes it is a fair warning to omni core and those who are entering college..

what i was saying in my last post was that Niko had a pt in what he said,,,
yes he might not hv put it in the most polite way....but with u all exploding on the comment he made...and saying that he's pointless i just thought i should voice my opinion too cos i agree with his point...

it's not of my intention to argue with u....i appreciate u coming back and visit the forum and talking to us...but i thought this topic could be more like a discussion with both of ur opinions accepted rather than a blatant 2-sided argument...and then everyone starts to scream...

[theRefused]

I didn't want an argument.

I think this thread should be locked or deleted.

[omnibahumut]

All suggestions and opinions on this board I expect are to be regarded in a responsible manner, because we are all mature people in the linkshell.

When Theref said that FFXI inturrupted his normal lifestyle, I knew completely what he was saying, because things of that sort have happened to me already.


 

. "Dont ruin our fun. I got A+'s college scholarships and managed to nearly match your level and rank. held down a job, friends i did it all"

The only problem with nikos comment was that he made it sound like he was better than theref. Because of that, theref felt he had to defend himself. Don't compare yourself, just offer the advice.
