The world has gone mad

[Queen Uma]

Seriously it has. Don't try to deny it, madness has set in and there is nothing we can do about it. Complete and utter proof of the world's descent into insanity has just been proven to me in Ru'Lude Garden.

So I was sat there but the big fountain in the centre chatting to my friend and waiting for him to come meet me when two players ran past. Both /anon and I didn't check them but they shall hereby be referred to as pld and whm as that is what their visible gear indicated. Whm was a mithra and pld was an elvaan. It started pretty innocently:

Whm hugs pld
Pld kisses whm on the cheek
Whm kisses pld
Pld spanks whm's bottom
Whm >> /s cheeky

Pld then chases the whm round the fountain a few times until......

Whm winks at pld
Pld nods at whm
Whm beckons pld

Both then enter the door to the Windy consulate. Now you can see where this is going can't you. I sat there assuming that they'd continue this in /tell well they didn't. After a few /em giggles emotes and other things along those lines they started on the stripping emotes :eek:

I {/sigh}ed and contemplated blisting them when I saw the next line....

Pld runs his fingers down Whm's back
Pld reaches below Whm's tail and gently begins to finger whm's ass....

:wtf:
You get the point, I'm not going any further but it got worse trust me. At this point my friend turned up and we were laughing trying to figure out if they thought the windy consulate was a private room and that no-one in the surrounding area could see the emotes or /say messages. A few people had even started doing /disgusted emotes and a few other vulgar things.

Then it happened. The complete and utter shocking thing that has led me to my conclusion of the world being insane.

Pld>> /s Do you guys mind this is private
Whm>> /s Yeah stop being so f***ing perverted and leave us alone

I tried to polietely explain they are in a public area doing public emotes and using the /say function but I got accused of being a pervert and the "ringleader" of all the people spying on them.

Now I have absolutly nothing against people cybering, they can do what the hell they want as long as they do it in a private party/linkshell chat situation. However doing it in /s and /em then calling anyone who reacts a pervert is pure and simple madness.

Surely you take a big enough risk cybering anyway given that the chance of you both being guys is pretty high, don't further your embarrassment by doing it slap bang in the middle of Ru'Lude gardens. The area name does not imply the acceptable actions within that area.

[Skoal]

LMAO
I never really got the whole cybering thing. I really don't see how people get turned on by an animal in a video game. I am hoping those people were joking, I pray nobody is that messed up in the head.

[Ellipses]

...pretty high...
There you go.

[Eohmer]

Oh geez, lol...

[Amiraphe]

In the Windhurstian Consulate no less! I tells ya, their political system is corrupt! CORRUPT!
Sex, lies, video games! :biggrin:

Yeah, that's pretty crazy. It seems cyber love tends to happen a lot in Ru-Lude gardens. Ever walk to the palace and hang on the balcony? Couples everwhere! I was hanging there with my buddies and noticed the orgy.
I thought it would be funny, since they were so darn serious about it, to sit in between the laps of this one couple who were cooing and purrring with each other. So I sat in between them and as a joke I /said "LOL Threesome!!!"

They were so insulted and ranted at me, "Begone Large Elvaan Woman!" Sheesh! :wasted:

[Queen Uma]

What I don't understand is (assuming this wasn't a joke) their lack of knowledge about the areas which /em and /s can be viewed from. They seemed like a couple of intelligent people not the general "/em Stix it upz ur ass!!! lolzz 11!!!eleven" people that are stupid enough to do this in a public area. Their emotes and /say messages were quite eloquent and gramatically correct (pld especially).

[Feba]

In the middle of jeuno? You've gotta be kidding..


I've heard of someone doing this in one of the cells in Oubilette, BDSM? Or privacy? Eh still, at least do it in an out of the way area. Who the hell would have sex in the windy consulate anyway? I woulda called a GM on them, just for humour points.

[Haggai]

People are silly. I don't understand that sort of junk. Phone sex is just as silly.

You should have told them to get a rent-a-room.

There are plenty of places in this game that people don't go / hardly ever go. There is a tunnel just around the corner in Batallia that they could visit. Hell, find a corner in Delkfutt's Tower, there are plenty. If they want an area in town, Bastok Metalworks out behind the President's Office in one of the Cannonries. Nobody ever goes there.

I understand that they want to use the /emote feature for better RP, but it should be done in an area where nobody will see you. Think about it, would you have sex in the park while there are people around, and get mad when people complain about your moaning? If you answer yes, then you have issues.

Geez, they could've at least gone to the Archduke's bedroom where only the occasional anima exchanger and maybe a limit breaker would have seen them.

[avhmia]

That's just too funny. Ah, young cyberlove is in the air~~

[Raydeus]

I woulda called a GM on them, just for humour points.

:rofl:

Oh, that screams fun all over it.

[GM]RandomMan>> Hello, Knives. This is [GM]RandomMan. What seems to be the problem today?
Knives>> Yes, well, I was walking towards the Auction House in Ru'Lude Gardens when I stepped over the Windurstian Consulate.
Knives>> Two people keep having cybersex down there, and it's pretty gross. Lots of people are complaining, but they don't seem to care at all.
Knives>> It's almost as though they don't realize we can all see.
[GM]RandomMan>> I see. We're looking into it.
[GM]RandomMan>> Is there anything else I can help you with today?
Knives>> Can I see you up close so I can take a picture?

Haha, oh, those GMs. Funny.

[Feba]

I'm referring more to their reaction after they get back from their suspension.

Or better yet, jail-house love.

Double Post Edited:
although GMs can be pretty funny. Depends on which one.

[Myaku]

This is a job for.....

[GM]Dave!

That would be so awesome. I would love to see what he would do to them.

[Aksannyi]

{Rent a Room} {Do you need it?}

Haha, that's just wrong ... those people need to get out of the house and meet real people so they can have real sex.

[Feba]

Well, for all we know, they were a couple who are currently seperated (illness, military, business)

[Haggai]

Haha, that's just wrong ... those people need to get out of the house and meet real people so they can have real sex.
Real sex > Cyber sex :thumbsup:

Anyday!

[Aksannyi]

Well, for all we know, they were a couple who are currently seperated (illness, military, business) Still, there are better places to do it than FFXI. MSN, AIM, even myspace would be better.

[DakAttack]

The only thing worse than kids cybering is kids cybering like freaks.

Maybe the Pld just doesn't understand anatomy...

[Feba]

Still, there are better places to do it than FFXI. yes, but that's not the point in saying those people need to get out of the house and meet real people so they can have real sex.

[Aksannyi]

True, true, though if you must cyber (which I think is lame, but some people get off on it, I guess), why do it in public?

[Feba]

why do it in public?Because 99% of people alive today are idiots?

[Aksannyi]

Because 99% of people alive today are idiots? Haha, of course. Why didn't I think of that? Don't label me an idiot now

[Feba]

Don't label me an idiot nowIf the shoe fits, Cinderella ;3

[Matera]

Yep. Plenty of idiots around, not enough people to contain them on an island.

But when you think of it, we all are on an island. ; ;

[Yuanlung]

why do it in public?


For added thrill? exhibitionism? ^^;



Seriously though, I've always though the moogle link hack (lets someone else enter your mog house) to be something amusing, yet useless. Now I actually see a practical use for it. :rofl:

[Aries Black]

(Hostel) (Do You Need It?)

But yea..there are way better places to do that kind of stuff. Surprisingly while doing Prom-Holla my pt saw a "couple" sitting in one of the corners.

[dirtyclown]

I like to have fun with people who do this in public. So far my favorite thing to do is sit inbetween them and say "im in ur jeuno, touchin ur boobies", and "It's a trap!" while pointing at the female character. I wanted to make a mule named Admiralackbar specifically for this, but the name was taken.

[neighbortaru]

lol @ "it's a trap"

[Mhurron]

True, true, though if you must cyber (which I think is lame, but some people get off on it, I guess), why do it in public?Same reason they do all those other irritating, stupid and inconsiderate things to other players. I think a lot of players don't realize that every character that doesn't have a green name over its head is a real person. Too many act like they're playing some single player game where what they do doesn't matter.

[piroko]

What I don't understand is (assuming this wasn't a joke) their lack of knowledge about the areas which /em and /s can be viewed from. They seemed like a couple of intelligent people not the general "/em Stix it upz ur ass!!! lolzz 11!!!eleven" people that are stupid enough to do this in a public area. Their emotes and /say messages were quite eloquent and gramatically correct (pld especially).

Exibitionists?

[Ziero]

Anyone every think that they did it just to get a rise out of people?

Cause if they did then it worked like a charm

[Queen Uma]

Quite possibly but the way whm reacted would suggest otherwise. I would honestly like to know what the GMs would of made of this. Maybe someone called them, I don't know. I left shortly after being called a pervert.

Haha, that is freaking hilarious. I'm adding that to my favorites.

[Yuanlung]

Or this...

[Tirrock]

This whole topic is hilarious. I liked that 30 second video clip too.

I'm not against cybering (what two people do in private doesn't effect me), but please please please please don't do it in say or emotes. (Or like one couple we had on a MUD I used to be an imm on...region wide-shouts.) I've had a couple of people send me cybering mistells, which makes me wish that they'd double check who they're sending tells to when they send those kind of tells... Nothing screams "Akward Moment!" like somebody you sort of know sending you a mistell like that.

[dirtyclown]

Ozzz>> I pinch your nipples
>>Ozzz Haha, fag.
Ozzz>> Shit, MT!

[Ritual]

well this was educatonal to say the least :P wonder if they relised there mistake yet

Best one ever....right after the fishing update where you had to fight the fish, before the new fishing bots were developed. During NA primetime, if you saw someone fishing, you knew they were at their keyboard, reasonable likelihood they spoke english, and almost certain that they were bored. For awhile it was a beautiful flourishing community...


Anyway, so on the dock at Windurst, near the fishing guild, there's perhaps eight of us just chatting away in /say while we're waiting for bites, including one rather tacturn Mithra.

I don't even remember what we were talking about, but I do remember word for word the first statement larger than "yes" or "No" that Mithra made.

/say : *Puts a finger down inside her panties* "Oh SHIT!!"

Fisherpeople : ...!

Mithra : Shit Mistell!

We all got a pretty good laugh about it, to this day I don't know if the "Oh shit" was a scat refrence (And I probably wonder about it more than I should) or something else, but for being a mistell, I think that one takes the all-time cakewalk.

[Raydeus]

Oh this is so appropriate (http://i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=18627)

Or this...

:rofl:

Learn the lesson kids, know the "girl" in person (or at least video-chat for god sake so you can find out if it's your sister) before cybering. :thumbsup:

[DakAttack]

Was there ever an option to just video chat with breasts?

[Feba]

>>40 yeah, just position the camera right.



Anyway, i'd almost rather have that happen then stumbling across a folder of porn on a shared computer... of the other person who uses it.




Bad memories... bad memories...

That's why I clearly label my pornography. So far nobody's gone into any folders marked with the Pedobear seal of approval without my knowing. It's where I keep all my writing and various other things I don't want to share.

[Chemist]

Was the PLD an elvaan?

Elvaan always get the mithra WHM...
