It's not what it looks like, I swear.
And that just what you know
FLIP
Everyone makes honest mistakes, me especially.
Quite honestly, all I wanted was their opinion, but what do I get? Some retard by the name of "FLIP_SYD3".

A little bit ago, I decided to start browsing around the forums with no particular goal. I look into my bar, the reviewed, and GAAL out of bordom and noticed that none of them have made any progress. In an attempt to take action, I edit GAAL to accept all bars in Gaia and look for a way to get it stickied.

Naturally, I look at the forum moderators list in an attempt to locate a online mod who could help me with this situation with a prepared mini-speech about how it could help Gaians find bars, ect. And, of course, I find that no one is online to assist me... Great.

So, again bored, I replace the number in the address bar when it indicates the forum number to a "1" to see if that forum exists. Not only does it exist, but it's also about Ragnarok Online, the game I recently broke out of again. Intrigued, I looked in and explored the links and eventually found a Final Fantasy sub-forum. I look into the "rules" sticky, and take in the information.

After the reading, I decide to make an "Al Bhed" thread, seeking the interests of those interested in the Al Bhed aspect of Final Fantasy X.

Lord-of-the-flies

This translates out to:

Lord-of-the-flies
Does anyone either use the Al Bhed language in normal conversations either in IMs or IRL?

I personally talk to some people online once a while in this system, and it just makes things a bit more fun. Can't say I can speak it well, though.


Hoping to see those who might do the same, I posted this up. Unfortionantly, I did recieve a response rather quickly.

Quote:
Bravo. Your a nitwit who can speak albhed. Unfortunetly, Albhed Language based topics are against the rules.

*reported*


Fine. Apparently I missed that part in the rules, so I looked it up and found the statement. I must have over-read it when looking though the rules. This guy, short of calling me a "nitwit", was polite about this and took the appropriate action. I respect that and have no quarrels.

So, in order to save a post, over making a new thread, I edit the first post and change the title to a new topic in lue of the old one. It was around this time I was distracted by an incoming IM on AIM. I talked with my bud a bit, then proceeded to submit the new topic name.

In this amount of time, this insect among men posts...

FLIP_SYD3
And for those who didn't download an Albhed to English program here's the translation:
Quote:
Report me, because I didn't read the stickies. Gee who likes FFX, Rikku has the nicest a** out of the whole FF series. OMG i can't wait for FFXII it's gonna r0x0rs.!!<XP!


And a few moments later after the subject change...

FLIP_SYD3
You changed it. HAHAHAHAHA! >__<. Why did you change it, you still want this thread to live. Oh well, whatever floats your boat. This question has been answered so many times that I don't really give a rats a**.


Now, I normally wouldn't do anything about this, but it seems that he had pushed me over my limits. This guy is analogous to a school yard bully of sorts. If it's not something he can understand, or cares about, he pokes fun at it. N00B.

To show my "respects" to this moron, I change the topic once again, this time titling it "A response to FLIP_SYD3."

Lord-of-the-flies
Now.. If I were any other person at this time, I would flame you in a set of non-sensical strings of "leetspeak" for such a blatant disreguard for not only your own moral integrity, but more to the intent of such an action on my behalf.

Yes, I did take an overlook into the sticky about such made threads, however this does not mean that I have any reason to wait for it to become one of your obvious record of destroyed open discussions. To immoralize yourself is one thing, but to try to take into account the intents of another in such a manner is just impolite.

This is quickly backed by your ever-so-humorous "Report me, because I didn't read the stickies. Gee who likes FFX, Rikku has the nicest a** out of the whole FF series. OMG i can't wait for FFXII it's gonna r0x0rs.!!<XP!" comment, which is a shot at both my intelegence and humility. I do not appriciate this unreasonable and unpleasant remark on this quite honest mistake.

You will be caught up in an honest mistake at some point or another, and you will be flamed the same way you have demonstrated to me today. It's people like you who make so many Gaians leave each day in a process of humilliation and desecration.


I recieved a couple responses to that from third parties who know this guy.

Quote:
Waisted breath. You obviusly don't know FLIP O.o;; Better off making a better thread.


BTFreek
Lord-of-the-flies
See post one.


gonk Now, this doesn't need an entire topic, now does it?

You might as well talk to a wall rather than argue with Flip- waay more productive.


These two were absolutly correct. I got a two very quick replies from FLIP in very little time.

FLIP_SYD3
Wow, I'm so sorry. I'm happy that you made a dedication thread towards me, but please not infront of the gaians. No one gives a crap, this is what Journals are made for my friend, if you hate somebody post there, instead of filling the Final Fantasy Forum with more blatant crap. If you can't take a joke go home. And this has been reported


FLIP_SYD3
I hate to say this, but I love badgering defeated threads which I contributed to it's downfall. Oh well since I'm an idiot I'll act that way on your thread, wait for it....

LOLS!@!! Yoru zThread got Reported !!! hhahah! Read teh StickEZ!! H8t threads, MAKE LANZER CRY!!!


This guy is exactly what he impersonates all too well. It's people like this who make everyone around them feel as though they need a hot shower after dealing with them. But, I found something that shows this all the better.

I looked into his journal to see just what kind of guy he is, and I find this:
Quote:
I despise them...

For the sake of there secuirity I will not tell you who is 'them'.

Today at cross country my band and fellow friends were doing the typical jackass stuff, mainly righting 69 on our sports shirt and then going crazy and began jumping on hedges before the race.

Now 'them' being the attention seekers they are (yeah I now my friends and I are attention seekers as well -___-) began mocking us with racial and descriminative remarks (Shut up you dirty Filo!) and so on. We teased them back with more intelligent and witty remarks. This trend continued during the race.

During half way there group stop and waited for us (HEDGECORE). As soon as we passed them they ambushed us from behind and began pushing and punching us. Being teenage men with hormones I couldn't let them run away so I chased them and continued punching them (mainly on the face and stomach). I didn't realize that my mates were involved as well.

At the heat of the fight, my friend got knocked to ground and he was gang kicked in head several times. Me and my mates rushed in and pushed them into the trees and pummled there faces to our hearts contents.

In short all of us were taken to the principals office and each of us have suspension looming on each of our heads.


I'm not surprised.

Seems he is as much a jerk offline as he is online. I can't see this guy ever getting married. If he doesn't get rid of that attitude of his, I'm surprised if he'll so much as have a girlfriend who lasts more than a week. I need not say anymore.

You are definitely not at fault there. It was a completely honest mistake and should be treated as such. It shouldn't have escalated into this type of verbal war. I like the way that you didn't resort to his level of low when you replied to his message.

I looked at the guy's profile. He looks like the typical idiot who thinks that, just because he's been a member of Gaia for so long, he can act like a jerk. Don't you hate those types?

(Plus, he needs to seriously read a dictionary or broaden his grammatical understanding. He seriously used "your" instead of "you're" when he was speaking of you? Someone needs to wake him up in English class, apparently)

Hmm...Your idea wasn't bad...A thread for people who are interested or want to understand the aspects of the Al Bhed language and the people themselves. That sounds like good guild material, if you ask me.

Thank you, Wes. I know that this is something that could have been avoided, but some of these people just don't know how to keep their insults in their own head.

I agree with you in your assessment of this guy. He is indeed the type person who feels he's better than everyone just because of the time he joined. However, this isn't the only contributing factor, as he's going to be suspended from school as a result of his attitude.

He did indeed use "Your" in the *ahem* conversation, but then again, you can take a look at his journal and see that he isn't the brightest crayon in the box. Near the bottom of the my post, you can see exactly what I mean.

The intention of the thread was a simple inquiry into other people and their use of the language, but apparently it was against the rules to speak in Al Bhed what-so-ever. (This was mentioned in a spot on the sticky where it could easily be overlooked.) I was hoping to develop a growing topic that could be enjoyable for everybody, but I had it cut short almost instantly. This is something that I should appeal to the mods against this rule... after all, any idiot could go to google and find the translator instantly.

*sigh* I guess people just enjoy crushed dreams. <_<

*chucks hot water*
Ha! Yes I check on my prey now and then.

Dude, you seriously got to calm down. Wha't done is done, it's not my fault that you cannot take a light hearted joke. Beside if you've been hanging around the FF Forum as long as the regulars have you'd realise that those jokes (^^^^^up there (trying to help you out (this isn't questioning you intelligence))) are not real. Your not a n00b, nor a moron you are you (duh...)

Just because some random guy, living in Australia flames you over the internet (for not reading the stickies thoroughly) you don't need to go hype about it. Your thread was agains the stickies thus I pounced (which is my usual motive). Again sorry for being a jackass towards you, but please, if you're going to swim in murky waters, ask the locals about the area (which is an analogy for read the stickies for the subforum you're in) so you don't get bitten by a crocodile (or if you want a leech, parasite and so on).

Oh yes, since you found my journal of 'Wonderful Secrets', might as well spew onto your journal about my love life and friendship. I'm currently seeing this girl called Leena, me and her have been together for 1 month now and our relationship is strong. As for my friends...yes we are 'punk teenagers' who disobey there parents (because of various psycholigical reasons) , don't do there english work *nudge, nudge*, play with there electric guitars all day, stay up late, record stupid acts and short be a 'jackass'.

If you find my life of any interest, continue to read my journal.
