harmlessincNo 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. :)
