yeah, it has been feeling a little dead lately. maybe it's cause none of us are doing incredibly stupid **** and thus we're not all dogpiling on the nerd responsible anymore except sometimes gorf
i'm almost feeling masochistic enough to be the nerd in question
ok but really, maybe it has something to do with the lack of elitism and exclusivity. maybe we're all just growing up and coming to terms with the fact that, at some point or another, we were wrong about our presumptions of each other. that somehow, in its rawest form, we've come to understand the fact that we're all human and not actually truly better than each other. that perhaps we've reached the end of the line and we've lost sight of the main goal of this forum, or perhaps we are realizing that the real reason why we're here was never the reason we thought we were here. or maybe we're all just going in different directions in life now and we've learned what we can from forum mafia.
regardless of what it might be, i'll tell you ****s what the main goal of this forum was, and still is, for me.
at first i was like 'forum mafia is alright i guess'. played a game or two. and then i ended up having a super clash of egos with some of the people here. i'm pretty sure at some point or another i went head to head with like everyone in this gog damn room. i was never incredibly passionate about forum mafia 'cause i hate playing people for fools. i crack jokes and mess around but i don't actually get off on manipulating people. and then i realized that i was staying here and bashing heads with people 'cause i didn't like being told that i was wrong. i didn't like the elitism or the hierarchy, and i wanted to bring it down with my bare hands for reasons i didn't even understand about myself. at the core, i think its because i dont like it when someone or something tells me what to do. i was like a bull, incredibly short sighted, charging at the mentioning of a red cape. or perhaps i was fighting against being oppressed so that i could be the oppressor. perhaps it was simply a vying for power. and it was all ****ing NEEDLESS in hindsight.
but then i realized that power didn't matter. i started actually liking the people i was interacting with. i realized what it means to get along with people in a community, and that no man, no matter how egotistical or intellectually fine tuned he may be, can ever be a one man show anyway, cause there's no god damn point in it. i started seeing the gog damn bigger picture. we have to be able to get along and work as a team, and vying for power pointlessly is, well, pretty god damn pointless, especially when we inadvertently lose members as a result of our big bouts.
like literally whenever ryker tries to make a crack at me, i just giggle at him because i find it god damn hilarious that he is trying to be assertive with me. it's HILARIOUS. i used to start stomping my feet and charge right into that goddamn red cape, but now i recognize that it's also a spice that he brings to the table that contributes to dgames being worth coming back to. and it's fun. i have a feeling that comment might start a frenzy but i don't give a damn, LETS GO LOL IMA **** YOU UP SON!
anyway, i also largely enjoyed the vernaculars that many of the members here bring to the table. i remember coming here and thinking 'holy **** what are these guys even saying jesus christ it makes absolutely no god damn sense to me.' but eventually i ended up surpassing you ****s anyway LMAOOOOO jk but i 100% understand everyone now and i'm incredibly comprehensive of the english language as a result. in fact, i am like one of the best writers at my school according to my english professors. i owe a lot of it to you assholes trying really hard to come off as more intelligent than me LOL!
so to come around full circle, i feel that we're a collective body comprised mostly of intellectuals with entirely superfluous vernaculars, and mafia is a great way to build off each other's knowledge base/social skills and bring it into real life applications. we also have this amazing social thread where we can talk about whatever the hell interests us and, conveniently, we all have a lot of common interests. so not only do we end up incessantly building off each other, it's also easy for us to forge friendships and actually enjoy something other than being butt holes to each other in mafia. LOL! so in other words, we're actually being really productive here whether or not people recognize it.
do i have criticisms about the community and where it's going? yeah, i guess i have one. i feel like J doesn't contribute nearly enough to the community to be a mod. YEAH YOU HEARD ME! i feel like J gets her rocks off by having a red name but if she isn't actively contributing to keep the community afloat then i think we should do away with that spineless woman. make her walk the god damn plank, i say. i'm also still hella peeved about how J didn't immediately ask me to send ruy the gift for the secret santa. hell i don't even know if ruy ever got a gift.
but overall i still like the community the way it is. and i hope we continue building off each other and become hella productive/OP intellectuals in the real world as a result (or at least partially as a result of dgames). and perhaps someday we can progress our group even further and turn it into some kind of god damn justice league, LETS GO!
TL;DR -
