Yea.. Ambi wins.. lol.. OOC is for chater.. that I my point of view.. lol.. besides this keep all the randome things out of the RP 3nodding

Of course she wins. It's Ambi!

I don't really care where I'm forced to chat. I'll chate anywhere as long as there are ladies there who think I'm cute. 3nodding

Oh hell no... stupid laptop erased all that I had to say. Let me attempt to remember what I said.

…nope, nothing, I’ll just have to freelance this one I guess. XD

*runs around like a retarded Monterey before keeling over and dying of stupidity*
EDIT: ._. Did I say Monterey? I meant monkey.

On the chatting issue:
I apologize for what part I had in that last night, though I don’t feel that bad about it. I mean, it’s better than the guild coming to a dead halt, right? Yeah it’s annoying having to back read, but sometimes you just get caught up in conversation. If you want to remedy that, either lay down a rule that limit’s the length of conversations at a single time, or have a thread said chatters can move to, or something.

>.> I wonder if the chatterbox has anything intelligent in it.

And on AIM: Express sucks (lack of color and no direct connect). Quick buddy sucks even more. And no, I can’t download AIM onto this laptop since it’s the sacredest of sacred computers in this household. That’s why we were on MSN last night, PN, cause Express is starting to really piss me off with all it’s random closures and lack of… stuff. I don’t think I’m going to go on that on the laptop anymore… only the PCs upstairs where I can have my nice version that has color and cool fonts. XD Cause I’m spoiled like that. But I really do need to limit chatting in general. XD

Hm… I think I might kill off Kai or something since I’m not really.. Kairos… anymore.. >.> Or am I? I don’t know. I don't even know why I switched names. sweatdrop

Hm yeah. So no more idle chatting for me. blaugh Constructive posts only from now on! Stamp out Randomness! Get rid of spam! Go Bears! Go Broncos! xd

Alrighty, I’ll shut up now. blaugh

*mimes*

Let me restate myself more elegantly now that i'm in a better mood.

I don't care if there is chatter. That doesn't bother me at all. However, there is a point where it goes from being interesting to annoying. When several pages are created over night between 3-4 people, you probably should be using a chat service, not a message board that others are going to come back to and see. You never know what's pertinent to you or not, and you tend to read through it all, only to find you've wasted 10 minutes reading about the nuances of the flavor of swiss cheese. I don't care if people talk- yes, this is supposed to be an off topic board. But I also like being able to participate in the conversation, or at least feel like I can without being on 24/7. If you really feel a need to keep posting back and forth in a small frame of time and you have nothing of real content to say, please, please take it to a chat service. That way, you don't frustrate people who want to read the boards without all of the nothing stuff in there.

o.o.. well.. this is the OOC.. thread.. lol..
PostPosted: Sun Oct 03, 2004 4:56 pm


crying No Cipher...this is OOC related chat.

I'm totally cool with it. I can OOC about something TOTALLY irrevelant, and limit it to A post...

However, I seem to have a problem producing MULTIPLE OOC posts...Can we set up a Chat Thread?

You know, Like the Arcana Lounge, except, its really OOC, and its only for Guild members..

people in the CBB are...very... stare You know. sweatdrop sweatdrop sweatdrop

crying Putting convos on a chat service ruins the feel of Gaia....I like my word bubbles... So:

OOC Chatters!!! Let's petition for a OOC Chatter Thread!

(I'll PM all active EG Members, so there's no wasted space sweatdrop )

I wholeheartedly agree with Fenrir. Chat in this thread is fine, but a chatroom- No thanks. If you find that theres a bunch of people on at a time, i'd really appreciate it if you took it to AIM. Of course, I could change my mind if I had a little gold... *hint hint wink wink*

as i do agree with the chat thing....i have one thing against...if you didn't notice, these people cannot all get on at the same time sweatdrop so all this 'chatter' is within a 12 hour time....rarely do we all get on at the same time where 'chatting on aim' would even be beneficial. [/.02]
PostPosted: Sun Oct 03, 2004 6:42 pm


The problem is as fenrir said it. I have no problem with chat, or even 2 pages or more. >_< Three pages of tide, minmin, and nova only is what the problem is. Everyone doesn't have to be on at the same time, It's just that if three people are making several pages in a couple of hours, they must all be on at the same time and can find other means to hold their conversations. The annoying thing, like Fenrir said, it that the mutiple pages are between just the three people, not the whole of the guild. Basically using the thread for your own personal convos.

>_< If I did make a chat thread, it would only benefit the three or four people responsible for the pages, and occasionally a few others when they got on. >_< It would be much better that if they wanted a thread to make one in chatterbox.

Actually I have cut down on my OOC. Further-don't expect me to post other than RP from now on. And I checked the last three pages and don't put this on me thanks, there are a good deal of other posts not including my own. As I have said I cut down.

Edit: OOC boards and other topics will be taken out of context, it's the nature of people. They can't really stay on topic, though if you want to argue the point and call me a rude b***h go ahead. I'm just stating the facts. I've been rping for five years, RP and Board, as much as it is annoying that OOC is going on the thing is this. People will get off topic and the such, what I don't like is this, OOC in the RP board/rp. Would you rather deal with it there or in some OOC board.

heh. I noticed that you have, though you were part of it earlier, which is why I mentioned. It's just a couple of people is the point that I'm trying to make though. If the guild as a whole was making all the posts, then I wouldn't mind. Tide has been involved in all the situations, and minmin recently. I'm not so irritated, cause I've been in places with more talking... but with more people though.

Anyway, the point is that there are a couple of people doing this, and being so, it would be easy to do it elsewhere. Minmin wants the bubbles, so I'd say do it in chatterbox then. I don't really need a thread with just tide and minmin and occasional others. That's the point of Im. Pm even. You could talk elsewhere and with bubbles. I'd suggest PMing. It's not really things that apply to anyone else anyway, so.

Edit: The ooc is for spam as a whole and as a guild, not several pages of a private conversation. That is what I am trying to say.

So.. stare If I so happen to get majority of the Guild sign this petition for a Chatter Thread, and majority approve of it... ninja

The Chatter Thread in the EG, will not be created? Please tell me now, so I don't waste the time of others even more. stare stare

So...what IF, IF the majority of the active members are totally fine with the idea, and encourage the creation of the EG Chatter Thread? Will you/or whomever is creating threads for the guild...succumb and do the will of the guild! 3nodding

stare Tell me..tell me now. xp

((Golem: How much gold are you talkin' ninja ))

Out of 3 PMs sent, I have already recieved a Yes, a No, and a pending! I will put the petition on hold, 'till after I have received a response to this post, as to where my attempt has even a chance, or is futile altogether.

<----Is thinking that maybe her "time of the month" has something to do with this... domokun

*Thinks for a moment*

Hmm...I will take into consideration the idea of setting a Chat Thread in Chatterbox. Now that they have implemented subscribing to threads, this would be most convenient for OOC conversations. Though I will create the thread, I will still continue with the petition, and I will post the results, whether the votes are with or against the idea fo the Chatter Thread in the EG.

The only doubt that I have about creating a thread in the Chatterbox, is that EG members will not go there and others will, defeating the OOC EG Chatter thread's point of creation. But also, I have realized that if this thread is created, this would help also in recruiting new members into the EG.

How does that sound?

*more miming, and gets shot by all the mime-haters out there* +_+

That might be a good idea, Min Min, with the recruits from there. HOpefully they'll be grammar literate. The only thing you have to worry about then, is when to make the switch from THIS thread, if something does go off topic, to the other (and ignoring random REAL spam). Plus, if it's annoying to back read 3+ pages a day, it's also going to be a pain jumping from one thread to another cause we're all slothy creatures! XD

Hm, you know this guild set up... reminds me of government class kind of.

So, since my mind has made a lot of blargs lately, the OOC thread is more like for long-term spam that takes several days to accumulate, rather than spam that multiplies like bunnies on crack? Constructive chatter, rather than idle chatter... *gets the image of spam buildings VS spam lying around on the beach* Or is it for only important such topics?

*applaudes Nova from the corner* Aw... but you're fun to listen to and talk with. 3nodding
Actually, I think I played a part in those last three pages or something like that... since I remember talking about Japan a lot. sweatdrop

Crap though. We need this problems resolved NOW. I don't know about the rest of you, but by the looks it's pissing off/aggrevating/annoying/distressing/tearing apart/alienating/doing SOMETHING to everyone in the guild. A compromise, an agreement, something. I like talking to the people in this guild, and I like talking to them in places other than the RP (cause really, I haven't talked to a lot of people in the RP) and the way it appears right now is that even though you say you don't mind chatter, you would prefer that the majority of it go on either VIA PM or IMing. Even if you do state right there at the end of the post, that what you mean is that it shouldn't be used for personal chatter. It's not exactly encouraging people to hang out here, or to come and do anything except watch the RP - and if they know it's not moving, they'll just fade away... kinda like Tash. I miss talking to him in general, since he didn't even really look at the OOC thread anyways.

Anyways, I've said my bit (again, lol). Really, I hope we get this resolved soon, and... and... EW Oh my god I just found this nasty nasty bottle of tea I had sitting around here with moldy white kelp looking thingies growing in it that's over two months old. I thought I threw that away ages ago! +_+; Hm... wonder what it tastes like... yes, otherwise we're going to end up driving more people away. And it's not like we have that many people (active people). xd I feel long winded. Oh well. Skim it if you have to.

EDIT: Ohmy, it's Red. ^^ You were in that chat, weren't you that one night with the Storm Riders and EGers? 3nodding Don't mind the general gloomyness of the thread. ^^; It's good to see you around.
