Turkeys ... a real turkey (THe original)

[Jimmydaneck]

So there we are in the Dunes (it's ok to read on...this is not a n00b flame) getting fair to middlin xp (wasn't great had to pull T's at times cause mobs were scarce at that time) when someone in the party has to leave. So the leader Kboogies picks up a blm named Turkeys.
Turkeys turns out to be mildly annoying right at the start and keeps suggesting we pull leeches at 17. Well as far as I remember from my 4 trips throuh the dunes leeches are traditionally avoided but what the hell mobs are scarce there a FoV page for them might as well take a stab at one. Zone is close if things go awry. What do ya know? Leetches turn out to be pretty squishy
We decide to get the FoV page and as we are running over there I suggest we move camp to the other beach (not the one w/ the wrecked ship) because mobs are scarce as i mentioned. There's flies, gobs, and leeches over there and if worse comes to worse I can pull a crab to keep everyone semi alert.
Turkeys starts in wanting to camp near the oasis (mind you camp was occupied and he wanted to stand in the middl;e of the desert) and pull sheep too. I was against it because of the pain in the ass sleep and due to some brain malfunction on my part instead of stating it that way i blurt out with

"Fuck sheep"

Yes, yes i know i set myself up but the route he went was total crap:

"Well you must be Mediterrianian"
" because only Italians and Greeks fuck sheep"

The facts that I AM Italian and that I've know this prick for all of 30 min tops set me off. Yes, I reacted badly I spewed off some expletives at him and left the party.

I hate this kind of stuff from ppl I don't know from a hole in the wall. This kind of crap should be reserved for /t's between FRIENDS not some group chat to someone you don't know at all. I have friends of all races creeds and religions and they tease me about being Italian on occasion..I'm fine w/ that. I know they aren't trying to be offensive.

Anyways, later on in the evening I'm in S. Sandy and Turkeys starts /sh "Sheep Fucker" to try to get a rise outta me I guess. Turns out he was headed to a party I had gotten invited to in Qufim ( I asked leader if he had invited Turkeys too) so I just respectfully declined. Blist he can have it.

So there is my story...not much of one I'm sure.. but just wanted to blow off some steam. Proceed w/ OP bashing^^

Get over it Jimmy!
<3

But yeah the /sh was a bit fucked up even if he was joking around before. He knew you were upset about it and continued with it. I also enjoy the title of this thread lol.

 

[marxx]

so, he picked on u for bein Italian (kinda cool actually) and never touched the fact that your a hunchback elf, yur right, that blm is weird :crazy:

 

[Cilvestre]

yay for tarutaru's with animal names acting like kids.
then again he probably is a kid

 

[Keryan]

Sorry you had to put up with that. I would have called a GM after the /sh part. People wonder why so many will solo rather than party in the dunes.

 

[Audino]

Ok, I'll be the one I guess. I think you need to lighten the fuck up. That was a pretty quick and funny quip he made when you said "fuck sheep." And my family is from Italy. The fact that you went off on him with the whole you-don't-know-me-man thing is likely what provoked him to break your balls later on. If you took a joke instead of sticking your nose up in the air you probably would have made a new friend. But what do I know. I'm just a guinea/mick. Now who's got some afogliatelle to go with this guiness? And for fucks sake, delete the flameboard already.

Actually, I agree with you. All the guy did was mention a camp and then you go on and be rude about it, then you can't take a joke? Yeah the shouting was kinda unneeded but do you not see what YOU did? You left the PT rudely and then you freaking make a flame on him for something you couldn't take a joke for. Its almost like he could be flaming you too.

I feel the love. Like when a man loves a goat.

I just had to have a big LOL over this.

Another WOP joining in the laugh fest.

Ok...you have a point here. If he had said only Elves fuck sheep I probably would have laughed. I can take a joke but I'm sorry I dont find jokes involving race, religion or nationality funny coming from people I am unfamiliar with. But also look at it this way: If he had said "only black people fuck sheep" for example this would have cause a shitstorm.

And as for you...you werent actually there and there was more crap than suggesting a camp. I'm not usually the type of person to dwell on people in a party/linkshell or whatever that I don't care for and find annoying. I usually just tune them out. Probably 90% of the people who I've hung with could tell you I just usually stay pretty quiet and don't say too much. You have seen this 1st hand....I think youre kind of an idiot from what I've seen/heard of you and was in a group helpiing w/ ACP....I just kept quiet and did what was asked and then left.
As far as leaving the party went, I quickly responded to Kboogies and appologised for reacting the way I did and asked if she could pass on the appolgies since I couldn't remember the names of everyone and they were in her LS. She responded that it was fine and Turkeys had been on everyones last nerve too so they just disbanded. This goes back to my OP which I realise was lacking in set-up to my actual and unfortunate reaction. I just cant really remember all the specific word, gripes and whines that had made everyone so irritated.
Yeah....I probably should't have made a flame over this....you are correct, but i was pissed at the time. Apollogies to all there.

Get over it Jimmy!

As i said....I'll get over it when you update Einherjar points:biggrin:

And I'm sure the sheep was just thinking...

Sure, and the only things that come from Texas are steers and queers.

I watched Full Metal Jacket last night. Good movie.

(on topic) I can understand someone being a bit upset when someone bashes your country (Hello, I'm Canadian, that much should be obvious - queues innevitable Canadian bashing). Even though he may have taken it a little too much to heart, Turkeys should have just let it go and moved on, shouting was just immature.

And you're Welsh, too! (wooooooo!)

Maturity doesn't know national/ethnic boundaries, and neither does class, that's for sure.

 

[Sharpe]

Is this a case of an American claiming to be "Insert X Nationality here" because his great great grandparents came from there? If so it's even more hilarious than I originally thought.

 

[Mirewen]

People don't even know where Wales is, true story. I got told "Somewhere in England?" the other day...

Get a fucking map people.

Yea, but it's nice to be proud of where your family is from. I saw I'm Welsh/Irish because the majority of my family is there, my parents moved here in the 70's from there and I have dual citizenship. I actually think it's sadder when you ask someone where their family is originally from and they have no idea.

But yea... "How dare you say that about Germans, my great great grandfater was German" does kinda make me lol a bit >.>

Edit would be awesome.

Just a hunch, but I'm going to assume you're not the most popular guy at a bar. Busting on one another is kind of what normal guys do. We make fun of each others race, religion, looks, relationships, jobs, etc. Why aren't you mad at all the wop jokes people made between this thread and the other one that got separated? You don't know me, so you must be ready to flame me now.

Everyone knows Arthur is an idiot. But he's a pretty damn nice and helpful idiot that can take a ribbing and not cry about it.

Even though he may have taken it a little too much to heart, Turkeys should have just let it go and moved on, shouting was just immature.

I probably wouldn't have shouted, but if someone was so easy to pester with the smallest thing, you can bet I would have had my fun. I really don't get why so many people are sympathizing here. This is incredibly retarded. It wasn't even that bad of a comment. Its PG compared to the shit some fucking 12 year old's say while playing Halo 3 when their parents are at work.

Agreed. A great reason why I personally don't take things like that to heart. That and I don't have a stick implanted up my ass.

Oh Em Gee! I can't believe they spelled WALES wrong! Roffle. Thank you. That added so much.

Awesome crazy fun time is over now.
