@Evening Star Selene ,
Yes exactly, but ppl frown on FS hopping..... chatting in realtime is the only way to know if I like them and they like me enough for me to stay in that FS.....and yes I want to chat on many topics, not just the game...... Also schedules need to mesh, if noone is on when I am, then it doesnt matter how chatty a FS is, it won't work.
In terms of FS help, I require none, I ask for none, I don't expect for a FS member to take a non 1:1 trade.... I facilitate my FSs trades with my locals, and I don't make any profit on those, but they foster trade with my locals.... yes, every once and a while I run outta a resource and inquire if anyone has xtra, but usually thats cause I took too many FS trades, that I haven't flipp'd yet.... I share too much of my resources most of the time, so that just forces me to trade more.... I am a team player.
@Venar El , You haven't the time, what that says to me is ... if that happens for most ppl, and it does... then the forum is NOT the place to be social and have an ongoing conversation even.... When I discuss a topic, I'm sure I do post alot, cause thats how a conversation works... I don't just use the forum as a bullitin board.... I also tend to ramble like Data in Startrek, but the upside is usually I give enuff information rather than too little.....just like he does.
---
what it sounds like is ( in general, noone specific ) .... I talk too much, I'm rock'n the boat, I'm always complaining, I can't organize my thoughts correctly, I use incorrect facts, and I am generally unlikeable ...... You try being cooped up for 4 months with no stimulus check, eating barely once a day if that, cause ur broke.... Frustrated, heck yeah I am, and all I wanted was a place to chat with ppl and play a game a few hours each night and a couple hours each day... as an escape ..... not to do something that is just 1 more stresser in life.....
I'm old enuff I will not be bullied, and I won't stay silent... I won't make it personal either unless provoked into it...... and yes Perception IS reality to most ppl.... therefore if I think I was misunderstood, rather than attacking back, I will try to re-state my INTENT and hope thats enuff.... thats a 2 way street too, none of us should make stuff personal.... it should be a lively conversation/debate , not an argument...
