So there is this little kid that managed to get a pearl from my linkshell once upon a time. His name was Tracy.

Very often, all we would ever say was "Can I have some gil?" "Bst is hard, Can someone come pwrlvl me?". This got old fast. He got kicked fast.

At first he just got real mad and yelled a lot. That's when I found out he was 12. So I tried to explain to him that my shell isn't suitable for children with all the talk of drugs/sex/violence (and I do really believe that). This made him even more angry, and told me "My parents don't care, the let me watch Bad Santa that's grown up".

So that bit ended and he faded into obscurity...

A couple of months later, I got a /tell from tracy, He said "I just wanted you to know that I'm quitting the game because of you, I hate your fucking guts, blah blah blah explative this and that."

Then he told me that he was giving the character to his cousin. And he just wanted to give me one last Fuck you. So after that he started speakin calmly again. This was his "Cousin" that was taking over the account. He thought I was right about what I said to Tracy and asked if he could have a pearl. Short conversation ensued, I said no, I never heard from him again.

Act III (6 months later)

A couple of weeks ago, I'm walking through the dunes omw to a party in Lufaise. I get a /tell from Daryyn(?) "Why do you hate me?".

my immediate response was "Colbwa?" as that's the only person I can really think of that I genuinly just don't like at all.

"This is Tracy"
I don't believe I ever said I hated you.
"You act like it"
You are the one that said you hated me.
"When"
When you gave your account to your cousin.
"I don't have any cousins"
Yeah, you yelled at me a lot then said you were giving tracy away
"lol I don't remember none of that"
I do.
"I saw you walk by then saw the linkshell and remembered how fun it was, I cried when you passed me"
Over a game?
"well, you know, like you cry when you watch a movie"
"you don't really cry, you just tear up"
right right, I get ya
"Can I have a pearl?"
no
"Why not?"
Cause I said so and that's all the reson you need.
"Can we be friends?"
I suppose...
"OK cool, we're friends"

Now I get a tell from him every once in a while. "hi, what's up."
I tell him what I'm doin then I say "What's up with you?" and generally get no response or a simple "Nothin".

So I'm doin the egg event the other day, and someone sends me a /tell.

Some random guy said to me "Plam told me you suck dick".
I don't even know what to say to this. I have know plamentia longer than anyone else in this game that I actually met in this game. He's an old man. He'd be more creative than that. Also less crude.
So I say "I sure am the right hieght for it"
Then he reveals that he was Tracy.

What the hell is this kids Problem? Is he learning disabled or were we all that stupid back then?

Silly children.
 
Kill them all!
 
Here is the Braydon version of this story:

Kids want approval. He probably looked up to you...or started after he realized you weren't one to give into tantrums and insulting demands. Your rejection of him from the shell is clearly a much bigger act to him than any of us give it credit it for. Hopefully he will grow up soon and realize there are bigger things than a linkshell.
 
You also have to keep in mind, most children psychologically aren't mature enough until they are about 15 or 16 to realize that a world exists beyond themselves. So by you rejecting him from the LS, and blowing him off, he really can't comprehend that you don't have any feelings toward him what-so-ever. When you are that age, you feel that if people aren't paying you attention, then they hate you. Hopefully they will grow out of it, as most teenagers do. Then again, by some of the behavior we've seen on these boards in the past year or so... it is apparent who hasn't grown out of it. :spiteful:
 
He is back under the name of Bryant.

He is an utter cock-hole...

Aught I point him to QCDN? OOHHH. THE FUN
 
If I had kids I don't think I would let them play this game until they were about 15 or so... There is a lot of talk about sex/drugs/violence like you said... plus there's also a since of team work that is needed....... What age do they start teaching kids "group work" these days?

yes, because then we will finally have a pandetech v2 and he will be less fixated on being dominican and spamming threads

or maybe he won't v:)v

I don't know anyone that uses it. and if I say "Fuc|< your yankee blue jeans in the @$$h0le." It still gets through and you know what I'm sayin.

Or if I'm having a conversation like this:

Me>>But yeah ****** dead bodies is not only kinda wierd, but just gross
anyone>>What brought that up?
Me>> it was a mistype kinda
Me>> Someone was telling me about this woman they know that got this real bad rash in here mouth
Me>> She went to the doctor and he did some tests
Me>>He told her the only way she could have gotten it was sucking off a horse or a dead body.
Me>> she knew she hadn't done either, but that's the only explanation the doctor could give her
Me>> then she got to thinkin about how her boyfriend works at a morgue
Anyone>> oh man thats gross
Someone>> 0.o
Someone else>> you fuckin sicko
Me>> hey it wasn't my story

A child doesn't need to see that and very little of it would have been filtered. And yes, I have had that exact conversation on FFXI before.
 
....yeah...but honestly, who doesen't walk through jeuno and catch some couple macking on each other through emotes (no offense guys).

some things just cannot be bleeped out....and other things are bleeped out for no reason at all.

If i had kids...I wouldn't let them play until they were maybe 14/15 years old. And even then I had a brother who started playing when he was younger than that O.o. Kinda creepy if you think about it. Those random flirts you share with characters....(don't deny it, it happens every once in awhile ;)) any one of those people could really be a kid :O.
 
I started playing this game when I was 15 (I'll be 18 in a month), but I've been in the MMORPG scene since I was 12. I don't think I have ever done anything this stupid in any game. I feel sorry for you. x_x
 
Adlats are only big kids with more responabillites (sp) lol i knew tracy he kept asking for my account so he could farm, did not trust him. tripple about that thing in party was it at siren beach going to selbina as i think tracy said some crap he was on bst there or something. Some people are mature when young mianly girls, but some guys are to.

I do believe he deleted "Tracy" about 6 months ago. He has a couple of characters now, Bryant and Darryn. Probably even more.
 
I outpost to Qufim a lot since my homepoint is never anywhere but Port Windurst and I generally loathe waiting for airships, so I used to run into Tracy all the time because he never seemed to escape that place and the levels associated with it. Every fucking time I'd run by he'd ask for a PL, which is why I eventually blacklisted him.

It's funny you mention Bryant because about a minute after logging on yesterday I was running through Windurst Woods and got a tell from him asking me for a PL as well, which made me giggle since BSTs have MP a galka would laugh at. Now I understand why he'd ask.
