~ ~ ~ Notes from Paper Lane: a GNE weblog |
Uifz: Oh my god this is the gayest game i have ever played i thought this was a REAAL mMORPG
So began one of our more lively chat discussions on GNE Global Chat this evening. As you’ll see in the following chat transcript, many pressing issues were brought up. Is this a REAAL mMORPG? Is GNE gay? Where DO we fight all the monsters? Am I gay? Am I SOO gay, or just gay? Am I under or over 12? Whatever the case, these questions must be considered, and we are all grateful to the mysterious Uifz for making us re-examine ourselves and our game.
Uifz: Oh my god this is the gayest game i have ever played i thought this was a REAAL mMORPG
Orbst: Uifz: we all feel for you.
doubleA:*patpat* It’s okay Uifz, it’s okay
Uifz: what the hell do u do in this game
Orbst: Have some quiche.
doubleA: You neverend!
Orbst: Whatever you want. Talk in chat, make things.
Orbst: Get rich, prepare art objects.
moen: it is gay, but it’s home
Orbst: Flirt in IM.
moen: who flirts in IM?!
Uifz: where do u fight monsters
doubleA: Who needs to fight monsters when you can camp out in a real estate office!?
Orbst: ‘u’ fight monsters in a million (really really boring) LPMUDs.
moen: the only monsters i know are Santa is Satan and Tseran
Uifz: Oh my god this game is gay
Orbst: You can squeeze chickens.
Orbst: You’re very kind.
doubleA: And whoever named my living room the burp room.
moen: thanks, Uifz, you already mentioned that
Another Chris: *readies his bubble gun*
Uifz: why do u guys play this game, how is this fun
doubleA: It just is. Okay? If you don’t like it, leave.
Another Chris: *goes hunting for Uifzes*
doubleA: Simple as that.
Orbst: Talking to people is fun, exploring is fun.
Lilith Frobbit: We are all gay, therefore it is fun
doubleA: ps- I carry a flame thrower, do you?
Uifz: no im just wondering why you think it is fun
capodistria: *shrug*
Orbst: Getting new things to make is fun.
moen: it just is
Uifz: do you even do anything like fighting
moen: we love making browns
Lilith Frobbit: Mindless entertainment.
capodistria: i guess we like to be social and talk to members of the opposite sex
moen: now that’s gay
doubleA: Chatting is fun, breaking mirrors is fun
Orbst: Trolling in the chat window by pretending to think it’s an LPMUD is probably fun, too. *8)
Another Chris: its something to do while watching southpark
moen: or the non-sexes, capo! can’t forget them!
capodistria: you go do the fighting for us
doubleA: Why do you need to fight? What’s the point? Why don’t you just go hit the ground with a baseball bat and not bother us?
Another Chris: :P
Lilith Frobbit: breaking mirrors on gay people is fun
Uifz: lmao h ow is fighting gay, yea m buying cholckate chips and treats and a gutar and stupid stuff thats gay

Orbst: I feel pretty, I feel pretty!
Duluoz: I’m crushed. I need to re-examine my whole world view now…
Lilith Frobbit: Haven’t we already established our gayness?
capodistria: *dances*
moen: i am so over 12, baby!
Another Chris: i’m just here cause i enjoy people calling me gay :)

Lilith Frobbit: We are all gay :)
Orbst: THAT, my friends, is what will happen itrg. *8)
doubleA: *sighs and puts crossbow back in closet* Ah well, maybe they’ll come back and take another stab at it..
moen: i can’t wait!
doubleA: Yeah, we’re all gay here! Whee!
ahhhhhh… the joys of being young and gay :)
We’re better than the people who play other online games, and this confirms it! Go us!
(We should evangelize by signing onto this guy’s favorite game as a horde of gay players and troll like crazy, calling them mindless brutes. Except let’s not. This is obviously a land of Adidas Demons.)
Hey, wait! I’m gay, too!
Poor guy was definitely suffering from culture shock; taunting him was extremely fun. I wonder if we’d been less offended by the whole homophobia thing and reacted with more kindness and less sarcasm, if we might have convinced him that you can have fun even without killing monsters.
Probably not! *8)
(Side-thought: Neopets, while mostly (at least from my point of view) a social and commodity arbitrage game, does have a significant “battle dome” section where you fight monsters. Probably just for folks like this one.)
(P.S. I still think he might have been Wintermute or Stewart or someone trolling; he was so perfect!)
Hey, if you shift the letters of “Uifz” ahead twelve places in the alphabet (i.e. ROT13 with an off-by-one error), it spells “Gurl”.
Aha!
omg! And if you go back one position from each letter of “Uifz” (i.e. ROT13 “Gurl”), you get “They”! What Could This Mean??
I’m gay? Now I have to search for all new porn.
Heh, this guy must not have seen the pretty peaceful pictures or the blurb that talked about “a web-based massively multiplayer online game of social, political and economic interactions” on the public test sign up. Perhaps we should put up large signs stating that this is a MMOG, not a MMORPG (which is itself a misnomer because most MMORPGs seem to involve a minimal amount of Role Playing).
But he have one valid argument, this game is pointless as almost all games are pointless. Ultimately, accruing stats and cash don’t really do that much, and players realize that it’s the social interaction that counts (something that GNE addresses more directly than MMORPGs do). Having cool social, economic, and political structures to drive the game would certainly distinguish GNE from other MMOGs, but it may just be a more civilized version of chopping up goblins.
So what might redeem GNE? Really cool social, economic, political structures with social interactions at every level, and the ability to build. Oh yeah, and cool people.

Hey, I wanna be gay too, just like all the kewl kids! :)
* grabs ukelele *
“Tiptoe through the tuuullliiipppssss….”
Hm, so In the Real Game *will* there be monsters to fight? *8)
No, but I hear that there will be same-sex marriages. :)
Oh darn!! I came into the game just as the last 3 comments in the “Gayness Never Ending” thread were entered, and I missed all the fun! This goes a long way to explain what I decided not to ask about in global chat that night, though…
Who’s gay??????????? I’m gay???????????? I’m glad somebody told me; I’ve always wondered about that!!!!! :)
What am I suppose to do now?? Is there somebody I’m suppose to see?? Can I throw a gay party???? Can wallflowers really be gay????
Im glad you guys handled it the way you did, I would not have been able to keep my temper in check as long as you did.
MooooOOOOOooooo…. cows….

just so u guys know im a friend of uifz’s and just to clear any confusion: yes he is a faggot with no life, and yes this game sounds pretty gay indeed
I met this guy, Uifz, in a fantasy basketball draft and he had nothing rational or positive to say to anyone or of anything. He’s full of $#it. Don’t bother thinking of him anymore.
