heh, why I love the Internet

No surprise, I'm online a good deal of the day thanks to work.
As such I keep my brain moving by wasting a couple of minutes playing a couple of different "online clicky database games". Basically anything that involved pushing buttons and watching random stats on a character go up or down.

As such... I don't much care about the outcome since it's a way to pass the time. I've found this attitude to be very distressing to people who take their games very seriously. Such as this chap that I ran into recently who took offense at having his guild mocked via my guild...

Random player:
"Rename your guild or suffer being zeroed out daily "

My response:
"Suffer? Seriously? So the threat is since you can't handle a bit of mocking on the internet, one of the fields on my clicky database game is going to be zero?
Oh noes! Whatever shall I do?
Who ever will save me this horrible fate?"

Nothing more upsetting to people than not taking them as serious as they want to be online. :)

Nice.

But what the hell is a clicky database game?

Any one of a thousand games online that require you to log in and build up a character or empire or whatever by "accomplishing tasks" which really only require a click on a button.

I'm confused, I thought you quit OWbN.

Amazing how those skills can be used in just about any game :)
