Impatient Party Leader

[Tristam Green]

Additionally:

It fucking blows that your party leader kicked you out repeatedly. ISPs are an easy scapegoat, though, so the burden of proof is really on Vandy in this case. Her outages could have been caused by a bad cable for all anyone knows. That's not important at this point.

What is important is that her party leader, while maybe a little impatient, had to make a decision based on the good of his party. To me, the decision looked sound enough. If I were a party leader, I would give someone five minutes solid to reconnect, and three chances at that. If their connection wasn't good enough to hold, I'd replace them after the three chances, and then I'd politely tell the person "hey, look; this isn't gonna work for my party, sorry. Better luck next time."

I know shit happens, and I know that even weather phenomenon can fuck with a network connection. It happens around my house all the time. I would expect someone to replace me in a party (and it happened!) if my connection couldn't hold.

As a matter of fact, I think I got replaced by friends in a party once because of shoddy connections, while Stine and I were dating. I even called her to say "look, my connection is wonky, just replace me...I think I'll read a book" or something.

One should notice that when someone is angry they don't always stop and think about whether they are using correct grammar or not. I know when I get mad my language usually deteriorates to some utter nonsense. It is true that when someone is posting on a messageboard they should try to make it easy to read for others but it doesn't always happen that way.

It's all well and good to think that way because it's usually true, but if you do a search of "Vandoura", even the happy posts/threads have the same language.

I have Asian friends/coworkers that have only been in Canada a few years and in many ways they speak better English in many respects because they don't learn slang and don't conjugate. I think it's insulting to use it as a crutch when it's not a "sorry I've only been here a few years" deal, Vandoura has been around for numerous years and associates with NA players on a daily basis.

Exactly, no matter what her post, it seems she never makes an effort. If I'm not mistaken she is American, I've asked her a few times and she always replies that she is. It was at that point I lost patience for her lack of effort. As for my earlier statement as having a hard time with her posts, it's not hard to read but rather unenjoyable.

This cracks me up! You point out you're "retired" but you still Want to know the details that goes on in game, If you're "Retired" stay out the game scene, just post to post you're opinion, and don't worry about who/what did it.

I don't understand half the ppl that post these days don't even play anymore but enjoy talking shit about other ppl, if you Quit then Quit, don't sit here and talk mad shit about someone when you don't even play anymore.. i think you're cool TM but sometimes you step way out of line in some of ur post...

In regards to the bolded part, I'm sure you've noticed but with the bold name and that pretty banner, it's kind of their duty to keep the flameboard and other parts of the forum clean of crap. What's the point of having a flame that has no names? If it's just venting about something in game, make a blog entry. This is the flameboard. People come here to see the mistakes others have made in game and get names for it so they can either avoid the person or praise them for doing what they did.

OT: Sucks you were dropped but sadly people still use the force DC to get out of parties. If I were a PT leader and someone didn't come back in 5 minutes I'd sure as hell get a replacement.

After I was kick out of the game, I told my friend to let that leader know I got disconnected and will be back on as soon as ISP went back online. But before my friend able to tell him that, I was already been replaced. Wasn’t even five minute yet…

Uh oh.

Once again, let us make fun of other speakers of other languages. Let us make fun of those that don't use Mozilla Firefox Spellcheck. Let us forget that other languages have different orders of subject, predicate, and different forms of verb and adjective conjugation. YAY LOL USA.

toolbags.

Is ok Pali, this is qcdn after all. Bunch of cyber bullies and grammar nazi.

 

[Morcheeba]

You know I really have to say something here.

I see many intelligent people baggin on her for her shotty English writing skills when the long and short of it is, it doesn't fucking matter.

It makes no impression on your day to take the '1/16' of your brain to understand her point. She doesn't have to 'make an effort', for all we know she doesn't have a day to day that demands strong English reading or writing skills. Who knows.

I've noticed many many people speculating, she's English, she's American, she's Asian, wtf does it matter.

She had a concern, she felt it necessary or maybe wanted to rid a bit of stress she felt from being treated poorly in game. That's what this message board is for, ultimately.

Just so you ALL know, the continuous badgering of someone's grammar and/or spelling is fucking sad. It's a pathetic attack and it's merely stating the obvious AS IF most of us won't notice whether someone lacks writing skills.

You all need better things to do with your time.

Vandoura, it's a pretty crappy deal you had an impatient party leader. Honestly though, you were better off. Judging by the snappy decision to just drop you and move on could have been a blessing in disguise. Don't sweat people like that too much, they're really not worth your time, effort or frustration.

I don't see people "making fun" of other speakers as much as we are just commenting on how bad her English is. If I was making fun of Vandoura, I would of used jokes and puns rather of just saying her English is bad. I have spell check on myself but I barely use it, but when I don't know how to spell a word, it comes in handy eh? Yes other languages have different subject, predicate, and different forms of verb and adjective conjugation but after so many years, you should learn how to form a sentence. If I learn some Spanish, go to Spain, have broken Spanish in the beginning, and live there for 5 years, I'm sure that I'll learn how to talk right after those years.

You rang?

Sorry just to add to my little rant.

If what she's posting is really THAT difficult to process in a timely manner, you should maybe ask yourself just how bright you yourself are.


All in all, I just think her being attacked by a mob is just unnecessary and in bad taste.. really.

If you want to question my intelligence because I can't comprehend bad grammar, then go ahead. Anyone who speaks to me and says something horribly wrong, I ask them to repeat it so I know completely what they are talking about. What I originally got from Vandoura's post was that the leader was upset because someone disconnected or something. She didn't use the word "me" so I figured "that" was supposed to be "the" then realized it's actually about her being pissed at the party leader. I truthfully have a hard time understanding what people are saying if they use horrible spelling and bad grammar. Go ahead and say I have a low IQ, I bet I'll prove you wrong.

That's really sad JP that you have that hard of a time comprehending such a simple message.

I didn't mean for this to sound condescending..

Reason I post this cuz is really pissing off that pt leader cannot wait 5-10 minute for someone that dc'ed cuz ISP kick them out. Seriously guys, WAIT 5minute at least... most ISP will be back online in 4-5 minute or so..

I won't give name but this happen to me 1hr before i post this.

But there it is right there

Well unless you read from the bottom to the top, you don't see that until after the part I mentioned. When I started to read this, from the first word til the end of the sentence, I figured she was saying the party leader was pissed. When I continued to read, I found out that it was actually her that was pissed. I didn't say I did not get this post at all. I wasn't even going to post anything in the thread until I seen that people were claiming Tristam "degenerated to insulting JPs." I did say I had a rough time understanding what she was saying exactly at first. I did say that after years of being an American, there should be a step up.

 

[Jeska]

Funny how in real life if someone had a thick accent or spoke with a lisp or had some stutter in their voice we'd try to understnd what they are trying to get across, but because writing skills are put into view for all to see and review and decipher. they are treated differently.

I guess you haven't been around that long? It's not difficult to process, it's fucking annoying that an American can't even use the basic skills learned in 3rd grade. "She's" been talking like that for at least 5 years. It's not ignorance, it's fucking laziness.

 

[Mirewen]

And before you start with the "what ifs", Vandoura has claimed to be American born and bread so there really isn't a reason to assume. You're actually insulting immigrants who learn English and speak it perfectly. Just because someone doesn't feel like using grammar, spelling or punctuation, doesn't meant they come from a different country. That's generalizing.
