WTF is wrong with people?


Snarky

Recommended Posts

I post in LFG.  I need a karsis, anybody got it open?

 

I get a tell.  "i did the contacts in hollows, i can do that"

 

minute passes.

 

"Will you run one"

 

"sure"

 

I get an invite.

 

leader "you want to just do this or get a team?"'

 

snarky (blaster) "I got no stealth and there is the boss fight"

 

leader "friend me and i can do this after MSR"

 

.... you just wasted 5 minutes of my life.  Why, why why would i want you for a friend?

Snarky, I'm sorry I didn't see this message. I have it unlocked on a number of different characters. 

As you know, if you have stealth & TT, the first part is super simple - although, sometimes you have to position yourself behind the obelisk so the npcs can't see you. 

The boss fight at the end - I use a summons and some inspirations, it's fairly trivial even if solo.

This post wasted 30 seconds of my life but I don't hate you for it 😛

 

Also bosses can be brought down to LT if you're really struggling...

Not in Trials or TFs. 
In any event, we got Snarky's Trial/TFs knocked out pretty quickly. 

Indeed, once again Ukase and (what is left) of Cosmic Council saved Snarky's butt.  Ukase ran the Karsis and a Hess.  My OCD grinds me if I do not complete TF/SF/Trials in mostly level order as I go.  But I worked 55 hours this week,  so.....

This is why I prefer dogs to people. I ask people if they want to go out and I'm waiting for ages for them to get ready. I said 8pm people, not I'll be there at 8pm and  you can start your bath routine then.

 

Dogs, all I have to say is "walkies" and they are at the door with the leads in their mouth before I finish putting my shoes on......

 

Then again, as a 200 year old dead person I'd have thought you'd have learned patience by now 😛

Honestly Snarky, you should start your own collection of these stories in one place. Like a Journal or Log, all in the same place for easy reference. You could even narrate them if so inclined. I did something similar in ESO for a time. People seemed to enjoy my silly stories told from the viewpoint of my character, not me the player.

I personally think Snarky could start a YT channel (as opposed to Twitch.TV - that platform pays next to nothing) and he could just stream his play time, and talk about his teammates while he plays. I think people would watch and listen. 

Not a lot of people. Probably 20 or so. But, in time, he could probably get 1K subs. I don't know all the ways to monetize YT, but I know it has something to do with the like, comment, subscribe and people watching the whole video. If he could just learn to tell a joke that was funny (He would tell you I lack that same skill) I think he'd be on to something. Not enough to pay rent, but probably enough to buy a burger every so often.

I find at even 60, I'm out of patience with a lot of people, so at 200, woo.

The older I get, the less patience I have. I'm running out of time, so it makes sense.

I'm 60 and have no patience with people any more either. I don't feel 60 (well my knees do) but being aware that I'm closer to the grave than the womb at this point I don't have time to hang about waiting for other people. You young people with your flawless skin and questionable fashion choices (really? Ripped jeans? I've thrown better away) have no sense of urgency. I'm at the point I stand in front of a microwave oven shouting "hurry!!"

I got on a team where the leader forgot to set the mission. I reminded them of it. A few missions later they started to do it again. Mission after mission. At one point people start dropping like flies. They even would advertise the team as being Level 1+ when we were Level 8 towards the end. A Level 8 team sounds better than a Level 1 team. I saw them recruiting again a different night, and I'm like, "Nope." I feel like leaders not setting the mission is a thing, but then I don't really team outside of TFs, so I have no real sample size. 

Top 10 Most Fun 50s.

1. Without Mercy: Claws/ea Scrapper. 2. Outsmart: Fort 3. Sneakers: Stj/ea Stalker. 4. Emma Strange: Ill/dark Controller. 5. Project Next: Ice/stone Brute. 6. Waterpark: Water/temp Blaster. 6. Mighty Matt: Rad/bio Brute. 7. Without Hesitation: Claws/sr Scrapper. 8. Within Reach: Axe/stone Brute. 9. Without Pause: Claws/wp Brute.  10. Chasing Fireworks: Fire/time Controller.

I gotta tell you, this is something I sometimes forget to do with our Cosmic Council crawl teams. If it weren't for discord and folks making it known, there's no telling how long I'd be at the mission door by myself. I think the reason I forget is there's usually someone making a joke, and I tend to forget we're not just goofing off over discord. 

Outside of SG stuff, I don't think I've ever forgotten to set the mission. So, I blame the "Discord Distraction".

...Snarky's Trial/TFs....

 

....

 

Whoa....

 

I read that and immediately thought, no way, not a Snarky Trial, it would have to be a Snarky Task Force, or rather a Snarky Strike Force.

 

Just imagine....
