Lol>Berndmax

Eh, I'm done with this thread. I only posted in here because Berndmax called me up and asked me to come have a look at it because the system won't allow his posts to show until a mod unlocks them *scratches head*. Seriously, if you couldn't tell that Berndmax is mentally handicapped by interacting with him in-game, then you might want to consider interacting with more people to hone your perceptions. Many are the times that I've gotten /tells from people asking "Is Bern retarded or something?" If those others could pick up on it, then the signs certainly are there to be seen.

Tristam Green, if ever you guys decide you can forgive and (most importantly) forget...well, I guess we'll cross that if we ever come to it. You know how to contact me outside of the game. Sending me /tells is unreliable at best because these days if I do get to play, I'm usually busy in Dynamis or Limbus and have /tell filtered out to minimize the distractions.

Well, thanks for the correction, but do you plan to answer my question?
Your question was answered in my response to Tristam Green. I dislike repeating myself, so please go back a page and read it.

You do this how?

Normal game only lets you hold, unfilter or have chimes with the hold or unfiltered status.
 
I've never heard of Berndmax, I think the OP flame is valid seeing as how they probably didn't know of any condition. There are people who play that would wear the same thing that don't have mental handicaps.

Your defense fails.

This is the reason why.

Seriously, if Berndmax really does have problems of the nature you're talking about, I'd venture to guess that it's his own business to tell us, and not yours.

I'd easily listen to him, since I've never had any issues with him in or out of game.

Members under 10 posts have to have their posts approved by a mod. That's the reason you never see advert posts anymore.
 
Bern is an awesome friend although due to my lack of being online very often, I don't get to chat with him much. I have known him for years through this and never realized that he was mentally handicapped. I've partied with him many times ranging around lvl 10 to 30 I think. I'm pretty patient with people in general so of course I'm more patient with a friend like Bern. I am sorry to hear that something like this happened and yes maybe someone should have offered him advice or some gear but I have know idea what was said at the party or what his reaction was. Everyone has the right to their own opinion and I understand that most people want to party without having to worry about someone knowing how to play their job. I'm not saying that it was okay for Bern to have that gear but being his friend I would have lent him nine if I had known.

I can't believe you'd bring up something like the lolWoW thing in here. If I could change the past to repair my friendship with you four, I would do so. But here you are bringing up the past to show how it can't be fixed. Bravo.
I know that you probably won't read this because you're done with this thread but Eca, honestly I thought you and I were on speaking terms. I know that you're busy and I'm busy too so when I do see you ingame you're either afk or I am. Hornless already apologized you and she was hoping for one in return from you. Also, please stop thinking that whatever Hornless or Tristam thinks is also what I think. I am an individual and I love them but I don't agree with every little detail that they say. I am Horny's twin not her little person that she can tell what to think. I married Tristam because I loved him for him not because he thinks just like me. Most people who know us know that we differ in opinion about a lot of things.

I figured that was the case, Xalioniaf, and relayed that to him. I'll go back and see if his post has popped up yet...

...nnnnope. Well, I guess no mods are paying attention to this thread, then. Can't say I blame them.

Well, you believe what you like. In my years of friendship with Bern, I've always known him to be somewhat embarrassed by his handicap and unwilling to talk about to all but his closest friends. Think about it. Berndmax coming out and telling you that he's a lousy player because he's mentally handicapped would be like you (hypothetically) having to admit that you don't have kids yet because you're impotent. A harsh parallel, and I am not trying to attack you personally, but I'm drawing it to illustrate why I'm speaking up in his defense.

Because, having fewer than 10 posts to his account means that he can't come and speak for himself.

Stine, hearts like yours are few and far between. You always try to see the best in everyone you encounter, and it often blinds your conscious eye to their worst. I, for example, am an asshole. I admit this up front so that those people who bless me with their friendship have no illusions about my worst traits. Whether you consciously realized it or not, you've known about Bern's shortcomings all along. Berndmax is truly blessed that you call him friend, and I only wish more players could be as patient with him as you are.

God, I miss you.

I thought I had apologized to Horny. If I have not, let this be a public apology now:

Hornless, I'm sorry.

I will let Horny know and thank you for the kind words. I miss the good times that we had too. :)
 
what the....i thought bern quit and i forgot eca had an account on here. i knew about his condition though. i feel sorry for the fella though.
 
Bern lives on Social Security and therefore sometimes can't afford to keep his account going from month to month. And yeah, Eca has an account on here, though I don't visit often. Last time I was here it was to set up a Divine Might run.
 
ITT: we shed light on important topics such as the mentally handicapped.

And their crappy armor choices?

I think continuing to post in this thread is a one way trip to hell for me... lol
 
How many years has this game been out again?

5, rolling up on 6 soon?
 
I didnt know he had a mental problem D: And i Tried to tell him over and over what to do along with demonwolf but he wouldint listen at all...

Now i feel horrible for the way i treated him.....jeez.
 
I'm still waiting for a wisecrack from someone mentioning passing their character's reigns to a younger brother or sister around the age range from earlier.

In all seriousness and to stay on topic of the OP, I suppose it's nothing to hold against the guy, it's similar to the Sheladaris "narcolepsy" deal.

Deal with it and let him be responsible about it and party with people who won't mind, risk putting something in /seacom or trying to follow through with advice given in play and maybe a hand farming in the off-time?

Touchy situation, either way and I suppose if you read this thread you lose any rights to bitch if you decide to give him a chance.
 
And I think flames about crappy gear are getting boring <.<
Then you could flame soooooooo many many ppl <.<
I could flame myself... I am lvling whm sub for lvling brd on my mithra and I am lvl 26 atm and still wearing lvl 11 gear (body, legs and feet) and a lvl 9 club...

I miss the times where the flameboard was really a flame board about people who are really worth to be warned off (why is English not as easy as German <.<... I hope you understand me <.<)
 
Fuck, i am almost as dumb as... no comment. I forgot we can get banned for flamebaiting inside the flameboard now.

Uh... no you can't... We've not taken action on any flameboard shit other than RL Information since the new rules were posted. Stop being "dumb as... <name>".
 
Paladins who don't use that MP that I'm using to refresh theirs, don't get Refresh. If they die "Oops, sorry was doing my nails lol."

There's a difference between a tank that is getting hit trying to cast, and one who doesn't bother casting at all. I help those who help themselves.

That tank, though, I probably would have ripped on the second I notice he was taking more damage than the mages.
