Please pardon my "tone" but...
HOW FRICKEN OLD ARE YOU PEOPLE?!?!
When I first started reading these boards around a month ago I thaught, "wow, mature people I would actually like to play with"
So far I've played with Sheogorath, Emperor Rage, Dreakken, Glider, and a few others whom read/post here. I had hoped to play with other, such as DG, Spy, Sutehk(sorry if I mispelled your name). But now I'm not sure.
I prefer to play online games with mature players, not the usual immature 12 year old PK's I've had to deal with when I played UO. I enjoy playing with people whom I can have an intelligent conversation with, even if half the time where playing where running through a dungeon silent as can be. And for awhile I thaught most PSO Worlders where mature teens/adults. But now from these pointless contests, I've seen that most are just as if not more immature then my 5 year old sister...
What's the point of these contests anyway? Nothing, it's a pointless popularity contest. Why? Because there is no real difference between the charecters, sure maybe one has a different outfit, or different hair style/color. But if you look at two charecters there damn near the same thing. Tell me, what's the point of voting for the most beautifull charecter, when there all the same?
Where I a moderator I would have stopped this long ago, I had to put a stop to many a flame wars when I GM'ed on a UO player shard.
You wouldn't believe the bull I had to sift through then...quite a bit more then we see here.
I read these boards every day, and the more I see this crap, the more my opinion lowers on some of the people here. It's hard enough to find good people to play with on PSO, why break it up even more with a stupid contest?
If you want to do a contest like this, do it right, make a page, set it up like the current PSO World art contest, and vote that way. don't leave it open for flame wars. Look at the current "Beauty Contest" thread, and tell me what you see.. 2 pages of actual post pertaining to the topic, and 5-6 pages worth of flames between people who where once good friends...
It's bad enough that we have hundreds maybe even thousands of flames about PK's, duping, and cheating cluttering up these boards, do we really need another five hundred posts of flames slowing this board down even more?
Ask yourself these questions...
Is it really worth loosing friends over? Is it really worth tearing up a community over?
My respect may be meaningless to you, but it's a hard thing to earn, and even harder to regain... So I'll keep playing with Those who I respect like Sheo, Dreakken, Rage, and Glider. But to Danger Girl, Spy, and all the others who continue this immature flame war. Well, Perhaps my respect was misplaced...
