Maturity and literacy in Maple
EDIT: Before you note that maturity and literacy isn't relative, please note that I didn't mean for the title to sound like that. My bad.
After reading a lot of rants/complaints/scammers, etc, I've felt the need to vent. Before you start bashing on me, this is the same as any of the other hundreds of "I got scammed, falsely banned, etc".
1) Sick of the people who can't type out a simple "please". All I ever see if "plz", "pliz", "50k". As if that wasn't displeasing to the eyes already, they beg or demand for more, or even, just leave without a simple thanks or sign of gratitude. If there was any word you should probably know in english, it's please and thank you.
[quote=Protozoid]I'll have to agree. While it isn't the worst tragedy in the world, it's nice to understand what someone is actually talking about.
I've met about one to two people who can actually type with grammar. It's nice to be able to have a conversation with someone.
To the donating thing, I see it as - if plz is easier to type then please, then no is easier to type than yes.[/quote]
2) Sick of the people who immediately blurt out "CC PLS" and stalk you until you leave the map. As if that wasn't downright annoying already, a lot of people just rush into your mobs and slash away.
Worst case scenario; They kill-steal your mob, you kill-steal it back, they defame you and run away.
[quote=MyNaginata]Half the times when I'm passing through some random person's map, they'll immediately stop and say cc plz, or more recently, some badly mangled versions of that, like how one person told me "plz ch." Obviously, I don't, but it shouldn't matter, since I'm only passing through. Not like I feel like killing orange mushrooms anyway.[/quote]
3) The disconnection hackers. Someone has a vendetta against me. 'Nuff said.
Worst case scenario; Getting into a little grudge match with a D/C hack leecher.
4) Scroll buyers/sellers and merchants. The ones that immediately cancel trade as soon as you do what they tell you to (usually, "offer". Merchants are usually the one with this problem. Though there's no real "default" or "average" price" of each item in each world, people can be at least a little reasonable with the prices.
Moral; If you're not going to offer and reason, don't tell them to offer. You're wasting your own time. This also applies to the person confronting the buyer/seller. If you're not going to offer and reason, don't tell them to offer.

[quote=Ritz2610]when someone says cc plz as soon as i enter a map,it REALLY ticks me off.Usually ill just be going through a map,or finding a clear channel at gallos,but when says that it makes it hard to resist to ks them.[/quote]
Ticks me off even harder when they "cc plz", and I reply with "No." and just sit on a platform chatting, and they get their friends to defame.
Yea... I agree with that..
I also hate when i have the map and they just run in and start ksing everything.
I ask to share or say "Excuse me sir/ma'am, can you please cc?"
@Scim: I give them the attitude they give me. Nothing wrong with that, is there?
@NeoAnderson: Agreed. However, I'm curious as to why you disagree with said thread.
You should try a bishop.
Characters: You (As a Bishop/AM) & Gallos-Training-People
You: Walks into a Gallos map with someone training in it
Gallos-Training-People: OMG, A BISHOP CCPLZ
You: ....
Gallos-Training-People: DUDE CMON CCPLZ
You: Spams Genesis a little
Gallos-Training-People: -defames you You- DUDE CC
You: ...
Gallos-Training-People: -cc's-
And that's how you get a free Gallos channel.
@Infernalty Thank you for your input. Want a cookie?
[quote=Scim]dude you dont understand EVERYONE abbreviates ON MSN ON FACE BOOK IN VIDEO GAMES YOUR ALONE ON THIS NO IT ISNT HARD TO TYPE "CC PLEASE" BUT EVERYONE DOES IT ITS SIMPLY DONE ON THE INTERNET ACCEPT IT. So your not annoyed by the fact that people tell you to " cc plz " your annoyed by the fact that they say it like that?....[/quote]
My only response to this:
The reason why I'm annoyed by what you are pointing out is the same reason why you're annoyed by my post. Very bothersome, regardless of how little detail
it really is.
[quote=Saintlee911]When someone says "plz" its coz they are trying to say it fast. No one say cc please. Also if "plz" annoys you then so should "cc" they are both abbreviations no one online should need to speak like this "Change channel please, and thank you I would like it if you did not kill steal me" also people follow other people to make sure they arent ksing the other half of the map. No one says you HAVE to give those newbs messos and for number 3 thats just bad luck.[/quote]
"cc" DOES annoy me. Nobody needs to type like that, yes you are correct, and most(?) of maple comprise of younger people, but really? Is it that hard to type in "Please change channels"? If the kill-stealer can repeatedly type "cc plz" over and over, why can't they type "please"?
For your "to make sure nobody kills the other half of the map", if you walked into a map though a mob without attacking, it wouldn't bother you at all if the person CC PLZ'D and ksed around you? Well, that's your opinion and I'm nobody to change it or convince you otherwise.

[quote=adenniscoolas]Okay before i say anything im not racist my close friend is asian, i mean i would like fight for this guy (the most unlikely thing i would ever do)
anyway some db traded me so i was like hello
then he just slaps this into the message box YOU SELL BLU HABD?
and at this point my head is hurting trying to understand, then i realize hes meaning my glove so i was like no sorry man
This is what got me though, everythin was typed in capitols and spelled incorrectly.
OT. i support this thread
also add that capitols are not necessary.[/quote]
You also used the wrong capital. [:
OT: Whenever a newb/noob asks for money, if they ask politely such as: "May I have some mesos please?" then I put in like 1 mil. o-o Otherwise I just give 'em like 20k, and they accept and f2 at me.
Whaaaat? Literacy? Maturity? What is this you speak of? Are we still talking about Maple here? Unless you're talking to one of the older (age) Maplers, you won't see any of that. It's rare to find someone mature who types correctly, Haha~.
But yes, I completely agree with you. ;A;. And I always wanna get back at them, but they're only liek, what, Lvl 8~49? What am I gonna do? Go and KS their snails? FFFUUU. (Beggars)
It's just irritating. Maybe not for you, but I'm sure for many others as well.
Fame isn't a big deal, but a defame is like a slap in the face. It's quite obvious they're trying to provoke you, and if they think you care about a defame, then they obviously do, too.
And I'm not talking about maturity and literacy being relative, but when a person comes up to you and defames you after you tell them "Please speak in proper sentences.", then there's a problem.
In my dictionary "cc plz" translates into "go ahed, take my map"
I'd like to think maturity and literacy go hand in hand, but I often see stupid people saying things extremely well.
cc plz.
OT: Agreed.
Lemme just say this;
Why is getting defame such a huge deal? I can see if you need a certain amount for equips, but it really shouldn't be part of a worse-case scenario o-o
