Anti-Miriani petition

There has been a growing concern of the people becoming adicted to text based games such as miriani and alter ego. This concern has grown to the point that there needs to be an answer to people to blind people need to educate themselve more. This same principal applies to those who have sight. Games are a waste of time and do nothing but dumb you down. The really sad thing about it is that there are people such as a couple of mikes, a few daves and other generic names that come to mind. I want all of those who are fend up with these no-lifes who waste their time on a game. When I hear that someone has broken down and had to go to a mental institution because their favor ship was blown up, I just ask them why they are crazy about entries in a data base. For example, you need to be pretty low to name a friggin entry Kitty. Please, all who are for this petition, sign your name below.

Yes, I agree. I have to agree. There are a lot of things to do on the computer than play games. I will admit that I use to play games once in a while but I do not anymore.

david, i'm disappointed in you. also, what the heck is alter ego? never heard of that game before.
anyways, alter isn't too bad, you don't have to worry about losing your person like you do in marionni. I'm not supporting that game much amymore anyways, but leave alter out of it.

but thi is what you get for being brain washed all this time, you start to think it is actually meaningful in real life. how sad.

Post 5 by am_dxer (Veteran Zoner) on Friday, 04-Apr-2008 23:25:52

I agree with the 2 posters above about the fact that miriani sucks.

Post 6 by rat (star trek rules!) on Friday, 04-Apr-2008 23:26:53

brain washed? i think not. alter is just a game to burn time. it isn't like i'm going to throw a fit if i get killed, i can always bounce back in a little while.

Post 7 by rat (star trek rules!) on Friday, 04-Apr-2008 23:28:00

but i agree that marionni isn't that good anymore

Post 8 by Squiggles (Account disabled) on Friday, 04-Apr-2008 23:28:17

burn time? You crap your pants and eat cereal all day you burn all your time. in fact if there was a stove under your ass you would have a chapped ass.

Post 12 by lights_rage (I just keep on posting!) on Friday, 04-Apr-2008 23:33:50

look, its not that someone is adddicted, see when you talk about people you need to think what's going on in there life, and if you think bringing up someone's issues like that is cool, you are dead wrong

Let me make this clear. I am not making fun of anyone just miriani.

Post 15 by rat (star trek rules!) on Friday, 04-Apr-2008 23:36:57

roll playing, a text game thing... oops, i don't think you intended to do that, you don't like them i don't think...

Post 16 by Squiggles (Account disabled) on Friday, 04-Apr-2008 23:38:38

what you said made absolutely no sense. Anyways please post your signature.

Post 17 by lights_rage (I just keep on posting!) on Friday, 04-Apr-2008 23:39:02

see, the issues are when you try to remain in character, the things that happen out of character effect you, having everything you had robbed from you in an ooc sense then having it happen ic, you cannot undo that pain i do agree that miriani is falling in on itself sorta but i do see changes that will improve the gameplay for us all. ps i like cyber assault no pk

Post 18 by rat (star trek rules!) on Friday, 04-Apr-2008 23:40:15

i agree with cool brandon here. we both agree that marionni isn't good anymore, i don't suggest that people join it anymore. but alter is fine. it's no worse than some of the other games that are talked about on this site

Post 19 by rat (star trek rules!) on Friday, 04-Apr-2008 23:41:48

that is why i'm not signing cody, alter is good, marionni isn't

Post 20 by Squiggles (Account disabled) on Friday, 04-Apr-2008 23:43:41

Miriani has completely colapsed along with alter ego and it does nothing but waste time. please educate yourself and maybe get a real job.

Post 21 by south park fan (the Zone BBS remains forever my home page) on Friday, 04-Apr-2008 23:48:41

I agree with cool brandon too.

Post 22 by Squiggles (Account disabled) on Friday, 04-Apr-2008 23:54:27

Here we go. Miriani was developed buy ass hole people who trash their lives swith vacuum cleaners and drink their soda with a spoon and their brains are turning to mush. If you like crazy 8 you will like crazy 50 by the time I get get done with these people. If you ahve heard fo forever hold your peace, there will be forever hold your brain, because if you never use it it will fall out of your head.

Post 23 by clint (Newborn Zoner) on Friday, 04-Apr-2008 23:59:34

The problem is not pvp itself, however there is a problem with people not being able to separate ic and ooc for shit, but that is becide the point... I had deleted for a while because there was shit that was messin with me ooc, and I figured I'd step back and try another char out, but I also see your point as far as being adicted goes... it is truly like having a second life, so to speak.

Post 24 by Squiggles (Account disabled) on Saturday, 05-Apr-2008 0:23:55

as far s i am concerned miriani was created by a drunk and drinks his beer out of a kitchen sink and cooks his food in a dish washer, and cooks spaghetti in a dryer and vaccuums his house with a car wash hose, and drink soda through a tv screen, types on pc with rake, calls his parents with a ceiling fan, uses fish tank as a cane and chime clock as a door bell, uses fridge as a toaster, and uses toaster as a microwave uses his microwave as his wireless router, uses ha stunt pistl as a fire allarm, and calls himself a hostess because he is a hostess hopper, and he uses his cd rom as a hair cutting utensle.

Post 25 by Squiggles (Account disabled) on Saturday, 05-Apr-2008 0:27:01

And, also I forgot, if the creater or miriani had any brains he would be eating his spaghetti through his ass!!

hey dont even start on the hosts i think they do a fantabulous job and are very kind and helpful, they have even talked to me on a somewhat personal level on how i can improve some things and helped me to start setting goals for myself i really owe them thanks actually

Post 27 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Saturday, 05-Apr-2008 7:54:10

To the original poster of this board, leave people who are addicted to Miriani or whatever alone. Yes, it's sad that they waste their lives playing 24/7, but is it our place to tell them to get a job or go to college to make something of themselves? No, because they can choose if they want to stay at the computer all the time or not. Leave them! pointless but fucking hilarious board, really.

Post 34 by HauntedReverie (doing the bad mango) on Sunday, 06-Apr-2008 12:24:53

I think it's pathettic that you even posted this board Cody. I play Miriani, I love Miriani, when I come home I get on Miriani and play. Not because I'm a loser with no life. I'm starting college in the fall to major in psychology and intent to get my Masters. I'd rather be someone who likes to play games and be sociable than some nerdy loser with his nose up his linix's various ports all day.
It is sad yes, how some people sit and play and can't distinguish between IC and ooc matters. And the creators and hosts of miriani are very intelligent and happy people.
Your display of childishness and blindy retardedness disgusts me. What are you even hoping to accomplish with this board but some attention seeking?
People like you, sanctamonious pompus assholes who think they know it all piss me off. You start this board with your dorkey friends and whine and bitch about mud adicts.
Well I'm an adict and I'm proud. I love miriani and hell is alright. Perhaps you should go findsomethingto do Cody, besides sit in front of your comp and rattle off computer jargan that no one gives a damn about.

Sincerely addicted,
Cala

To the person who I believe started this c-dog:
I think it's funny you feel there should be something done about this game, yet look at your own status on here zoneBBS addict. The only reason you probably don't like the game is because you probably got yourself or your ships destroyed buy someone or a group of people. Who are you to pass judgement on others when clearly you spend just as much time on this site. Cheers, and have a great day. P.S I doubt your patition will besuccessful since it's full of people swearing up and down and not very well written on. Well, as far as others go.

Post 36 by babyboy (Newborn Zoner) on Sunday, 06-Apr-2008 12:41:01

lol lol lol........... and more lol. this is some funny shit, i play the game because i like it, who ever say what on here? i really don't relally care? just letting you know. it's a cool game. hugs to you all who got blowned up by me. that is only in miriani. on here it's ooc, love you all, take care, it's kc out. going off for the zone for about another year.

Post 37 by ™ (Veteran Zoner) on Sunday, 06-Apr-2008 12:48:51

well, even if the game had issues, as aposed to the players what diffrence would a hundred people agreeing on the zone make? is it not true that some are very adicted to the zone? and have the same issues on here? does that mean we have to go some were else to try to stop the zone? then once people start using that site move to another and call for that to be shut down?

if people can't stop playing the game, or using a site then that is their issue, if it don't effect me they can eat donkey shit for a hobbie for all i would care

Post 38 by Squiggles (Account disabled) on Sunday, 06-Apr-2008 14:35:03

LOL and for those who have half of a brain, those messages on the zone like "zone bbs adict" can't be changed. ok next comment, Where in the hell do you tie together linux and me? I never play and I have a much fruitful life outside of my room. I'm going to college to, but I also make use of my free time. I just love listening to people with no live defend a stupid game. I was talking to a friend and I was thinking how much idiots would actually defend the game. Wanted to see how much of a riot I could start. Again how am I an ignorant fool for this? Just wanted to see how many people actually treated this game or any text based brain washer as a religion. LOL. just laughing histarically as I read this board of all those who do this.

Post 39 by moyzey (i'm posting? huh?) on Sunday, 06-Apr-2008 19:19:04

To the original poster...

wow, this thread is just a fucking waist of space. So your educated and have a life. Check over your board posts? How many gramatical and spelling errors can I find....

I play Miriani every day and love it. Just because your not fond of it, gives you no right to try and stop others playing it. Why don't you get a life yourself, rather than waisting your so called precious, educated life bitching about a game. Why don't you go get a life and stop trying to be such a dictator. Get your head out of your ass and fuck off moaning elsewhere. None of us wonna hear it. You obviously are bitter about something that has happened to you regarding Miriani to give you the impulse to actually bother creating such a waisst of space on the boards. Either that, or your life is so ironicly worthless, that you're scratching around for something to bitch about to make yourself feel better. Jesus criste, quit thinking your above others just because they like Miriani. You're actually more sad than us.

Have a nice life...if you really have one, like you claim to.

Post 42 by Albori (Newborn Zoner) on Sunday, 06-Apr-2008 20:06:16

Hello!

I'm Albori, the creator of Miriani. I stumbled upon this charming petition by happenstance and I must confess, I am rather confused as to the eventual goal. Do you wish to shut Miriani down? Do you wish to remove all mention of it from the Zone? Do you want people to stop playing the game? Do you want people named Kitty, Mike, and Dave to be force renamed?

If you can clarify the issues you're having with Miriani, I'd be happy to take them into consideration. It would also be delightfully handy to know what the goal of this petition is, so I can act accordingly.

Thanks,
Albori

Post 43 by rat (star trek rules!) on Sunday, 06-Apr-2008 20:09:44

from what i understand, this was supposed to be a joke at first. not sure how, but it's gone to far now

Post 44 by Pamplemousse (Newborn Zoner) on Sunday, 06-Apr-2008 22:18:53

Hello! I happen to be a grumpy host named Merugle. I hear that you can, in fact, play a game without being addicted. Just like you can go on the Zone and not get addicted. Wanting to spend free time on a game isn't a crime. Sure, you could be doing other things, but people can't be doing intellectual things or working every minute. It's true that some people probably do invest themselves too much in to Miriani, but that's not a reason to not play it all.

"Miriani has completely colapsed along with alter ego and it does nothing but waste time. please educate yourself and maybe get a real job."

Really? News to me. We have 363 players total, 215 of which have been on in the past 6 days, and 62 on just right now.

"Here we go. Miriani was developed buy ass hole people who trash their lives swith vacuum cleaners and drink their soda with a spoon and their brains are turning to mush. If you like crazy 8 you will like crazy 50 by the time I get get done with these people. If you ahve heard fo forever hold your peace, there will be forever hold your brain, because if you never use it it will fall out of your head."

Right. We're dumb because we made a game you don't like. That makes sense. In any case, I do, in fact, drink rootbeer with a spoon. However, I had an MRI a couple months ago; my brain was completely fine. Furthermore, your attack on the english language is really quite amusing. Spell check before calling other people dumb please!

"as far s i am concerned miriani was created by a drunk and drinks his beer out of a kitchen sink and cooks his food in a dish washer, and cooks spaghetti in a dryer and vaccuums his house with a car wash hose, and drink soda through a tv screen, types on pc with rake, calls his parents with a ceiling fan, uses fish tank as a cane and chime clock as a door bell, uses fridge as a toaster, and uses toaster as a microwave uses his microwave as his wireless router, uses ha stunt pistl as a fire allarm, and calls himself a hostess because he is a hostess hopper, and he uses his cd rom as a hair cutting utensle."

All very true. You got me there.

"And, also I forgot, if the creater or miriani had any brains he would be eating his spaghetti through his ass!!"

If he was smart... he'd eat... through his ass?

"LOL and for those who have half of a brain, those messages on the zone like "zone bbs adict" can't be changed."

Clearly you missed their point. It's not that it can't be changed. People in Miriani don't have a tag by their name that says MIRIANI ADDICT; it doesn't mean they aren't addicted. Similarly, you can't change your title, but your title is there because you spend a lot of time on the site, which is your basis for calling Miriani people addicted. By your own definition, you are addicted. Isn't that exciting?

to the creater of this topic, [thomas MCGreggor transmits. from the dead, It's useless to quit, I was a sleep for a couple of munths then I died.
all I'm saying is don't get to addicted, you will lose your head.

Albori unless i am very mistaken this board was made like the rest of everything on the zone tostart drama and the more one responds... The more it fans the fire. It doesn't seem much deeper than that.

Post 48 by moyzey (i'm posting? huh?) on Monday, 07-Apr-2008 9:49:49

yay! it's Albori and Merugle! yaaay!

You hosts simply need to forget about people like the creater of this board. You guys do a wanderful job and as a huge fan of Miriani, I congratulate all the hosts on the work you do to make it great for us players. The problem is, a lot of people here have nothing better to do than trash other people's hard work and efforts, because they are too sad and worthless to find something mor constructive to do with their lives. I suggest you ignore them. We all know the truth.

Keep up the great work, and if I have no life just because I enjoy playing, well, then I guess your right, and i'm all the other insults as well that you directed at people like me. I think from the intelectual content of the posts on this board by the players and creaters of Miriani in conparison to those by the haters, we can all see for ourselves who are the sad and perthetic immature ones amongst us.

A big highfive to Miriani, and long shall it live!

Post 49 by cuddle_kitten84 (I just keep on posting!) on Monday, 07-Apr-2008 10:38:29

oh wow, i agree with moy, i play miriani and i'm not ashamed to say i do. kay scrimshaw for those who want to know my ic name. go hoasts, live life as you please, to the poster of this topic? a go back to school yourself because your spelling isn't too hot and shut the fuck up.

Post 50 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Monday, 07-Apr-2008 17:03:09

Well, well, well. U finally snapped i see cody. I agree with Albori, Maragual, Kay, Andy, and Cala. Go get a fucking life, and find something to do with it. U just have to trash something that people like, just because u like it. I know who u r talking about. YOur talking about me and WX1G. I won't say his last name. Yes, I play miriani. I don't care who knows. Its giving me something to do if I'm done my homework and I don't have anything else to do. The hosts on this game, do an extremely good job. Have u ever programed a MUD Cody? Well? Its damn hard work. I am helping a friend of mine, who is making one, beta test it. He tells me that even he's having trouble with it, and he does not use a screenreader. Y not try it, before u trash it. I am Blake Madison or Waffles on miriani, if u want to contact me. Cody, maybe u should A. try playing the game, or B. Write your own mud, and see how tough it is. I'll see u guys on miriani, when i log in. Mike A.K.A. Blake Madison P.S. Thanks Albori and Maragual for posting on here, and Cody, use a spellchecker before u post anything.

Post 51 by blindndangerous (the blind and dangerous one) on Monday, 07-Apr-2008 17:18:12

o, just thought of this. This is how adament u r cody about stopping miriani. I remember u blocking port 1234 on your computer, so that if I ever come over your house, I couldn't play it. And, I also remember u saying how u would like to somehow hack into it, and shut it down. Dude, worry about something else then this, and move on with your life. There r people who play this game, they like it, and that is what they do. Just like Cala said, she plays it, but she is still going to college, as am I. Well, I'm out, l8r all.

Post 52 by Brooke (I just keep on posting!) on Monday, 07-Apr-2008 22:15:31

Post 53 by OrangeDolphinSpirit (Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how popular it remains?) on Tuesday, 08-Apr-2008 10:26:41

Omg. That's ... amusing.
Hi Albori, and hi Merugle! It's Zelda Schrader IC. *GRIN*
Glad you guys posted to this board.
To the original poster, I don't play Miriani religiously, like I used to, but I do when I want to pass time. I have a life, you know. A Daughter and a husband and all that to worry about. Just because I spend some of my time on a moo (because it's a moo, not a mud) doesn't mean I'm wasting my life away. Some of us actually enjoy playing well-thought out games. Role playing is fun. You clearly must have had some trouble on Miriani, to be this bent out of shape about it. I'm curious ... who blew up your ship or stole it while you stupidly let them enter your airlock? How many drones did you have on board? And did you have any internal stun turrets? I mean, come on. You bitch about people not being able to distinguish between IC and OOC, and you're guilty of it yourself. Pathetic.
Just for the record, I am Zelda Schrader IC, and always will be Zelda Schrader IC. Whatever happens to Zelda IC, stays IC. I prefer to keep my OOC life out of the game.
Sucks when you get stuff stolen from you in game, though, doesn't it? So what. You bounce back eventually, and learn an important lesson. Better security on your ship next time, to prevent it getting stolen! And oh, the undock command works, too, for when someone's trying to dock to you to attempt breaking in.
That is all.

-- Allie

Firstly, I'd like to say the initial creator of this post is an idiot.... having said that I'll start my rant.
How is it the Host's fault if a game is good and fun, and why do you even care? Games, including text-based ones, promote hand-eye coordination, problem solving, and creativity; Much more than making love to your computer all day, Cody. It is the fault of the player if they cannot tell the difference between IC and OOC events, not the fault of the creators or moderators. It is also that person's fault if the get addicted *coughmikecalmoycough* but as long as it isn't hurting their lives in any way, they have a right to get addicted to any (legal) thing they want to.
I'd also like to ask if you ever tried programming a MUD... its quite hard, fairly annoying, but its fun to see the progress you've made. Its no different than writing a book for people to enjoy. This is why i will not sign this petition, and anybody who does is either an idiot or severely delusional.
I would also like to congratulate Albori, Merugle, and any other hosts who happen to see this thread for making a fun game, while im not an addicted player, i find the game fun and immersive. Thank you.
P.S. Cody, learn to use spellcheck.

Post 55 by moyzey (i'm posting? huh?) on Tuesday, 08-Apr-2008 14:02:26

hahaha, i'm not hopelessly addicted, just a little bit......

Post 56 by Orin (Veteran Zoner) on Tuesday, 08-Apr-2008 20:00:38

Okay, here's my thoughts on this subject.

To the creater: Get a goddamn life and stop talking shit. What the Fuck? There is nothing more fun than to play games on the PC. In fact, I play two right now, the ones I'm focusing on are forumwarz and the wrestling game. And while yes, they are web based games, they are better than Alter Ego. Alter Ego is great the first time you play it. After that it gets boring.

And here's my oppinion on miriani. I was an old player of the squidSoft games, and one powerful lessen that those games taught me was to never use leetspeak. Since those games closed, or beforehand, I have never used a "Lol" or "ROFL" IC or OOC again.

I was never a fan of Star Conquest, perfering Galaxy Web: Stellar Epic instead, due to the assload more things it had more than Miriani like a real space system. By that I mean no instanius travel wormhole drive stuff, it was realtime hyperspace. And it had more things than combat missions, too. Never got around the combat system of either SC or Miriani. I also wish we had a game like Fortharlin, simply because the mudding comunity needs it again.

Also I believe that if GWSE were to come back, I'm better at RP and decition making, and simply won't recreate my character when something goes wrong. Furthermore, I believe I'd piss off less people this way, but to the alliances I did piss off that'll stay IC I guess even though it's all over. I still see them as game events, practicly because when I kept getting blown up every time I turned around I don't know how to RP my way out of this type of situation. Especially on Miriani, I have quite a reputation for being an asshole on there too just from playing previous games so I just haven't logged on in quite some time. IC, it's a long ass nap.

LOL! Roflmao!!!! Boy I enver knew how many people were that sensitive to others' opinions about a friggin game. Roflmao. I didn't know Meriani or whatever the hell it's called was a religion. News to me. This is friggin great. So just because I make this board topic means I have no life? Hmmmmm? How did one make this connection..

I play Miriani and Alter Ego a little bit but not much because I got better things to do with my life. Omg Cody this board is fucking hilarious.

heh, a religion? Where did that come from.
And the asumption that you have no life, is only as ungrounded as your accusation, that everyone who playes Miriani also has no life. So blah to you

A religion, nobody is saying its a religion, I'm simply defending my views. I agree that this board is rather funny. Cody, its not that creating this board means you have no life, but we all know you have no life anyway.

Ok, for those who absolutely have no life other than to bash me for moot reasons I will now give my reasons why I hate text based games such as mirania.

1. The game has no solid story line
2. The game has no realistic foundation or goal
3. You are wasting your time and never getting anywhere.

So my question is, why play a game where there is no objective? At the very least, play something that actually has a point or a realistic story line. These developers don't sit there and code for nothing. It makes mirania look like crap. Seriously. All you text based gamers, get used to the real text based shell and also get a large order of a life as well it can come in very handy. Thank you for your time. I also bet most of you are over 170 pounds. Who play this thing, notice I said most not all.

ok, here is my response to this.
1. Spell the game correctly. miriani m i r i a n i.
2. Yes, the storyline is a bit fuzzy, but, I realy didn't read it until I had gotten started with the game, I read the help files, and then started playing it.
3. to be completely honest, I really don't know of any games that have an actual storyline to them. They are mostly fantasy, or something like that. Except for maybe some of Hell's characteristics.

The storyline of miriani is constantly evolving, through players' actions and host-driven IC events. Will we always be at war with the Praelor? Maybe. After all, being able to do missions is always fun. But if we decided we wanted to try and communicate with teh Praelor, or found a way to do so through some kind of rosetta stone (SP?)-- because I'm assumig they don't have a language structure like ours, then maybe peace would be an option. But we drive the story as much as the hosts. there's a timeline/history, but I'm sure it'll be added to as things progress. The brief AIE/CW war, for example.

Post 65 by moyzey (i'm posting? huh?) on Friday, 11-Apr-2008 6:34:09

ok Here is my input

1. Spell it right. Miriani. M I R I A N I
2. It has as much of a storeyline as you make it. There are all kinda player generated storylines going on right now and seeing as you don't play, you have no idea what storylines are going on. In fact, we are just waiting for a huge event involving a full scale praelor attack, noone know when or how it's going to happen, but this storeyline has been going on for well over 3 months now.
3. I am certainly not over 170 pounds. lol. And even if I was, that's none of your stuck up business. Some of the nicest people I know are a little on the large side and just because they might play Miriani too is a problem...why?
4. You never get anywhere? That depends on what your goals are. I've got plenty far enough thanks, through becomming a competant pilot and working hard. Maybe if you wern't so bitter about the game, you could give it a chance to. Besides, Miriani is much of a social thing as it is a game. Often I'll just log on to chat to friends or to chill in their apartment or play games, much like we do here.

Games are made for people to have a little time and escape reality for a little bit of time...
1. Spell it right, you just sound stupid when you don't, M I R I A N I
2. Ok Cody That would be the point of a open-ended game.
3. How are you not getting anywhere? maybe you are not going to an active place where coffee sipping guys sit around and talk about a system that has no real use other than a high-tech toilet *coughlinuxcough* but there is a good amount of objectives to meet
4. I have never been over 150 in my life, thank you very much... and that is with a good amount of gaming.

There is nothing wrong with those games people are not waisting there lifes they are just having fun. Its the people that take the time to bitch about
games that people like to play those are the people waisting there lifes. To me it sounds like you are depressed, and the way to make yourself feel better
is to try to take peoples fun away. People don't play those games because they have probloms they play them because they are fun grow up. Because you are acting like a 3 year old.

i rpg in some ways, and it's a release from other things. gives me something else to think about. have never used meriani though.

Post 71 by jessmonsilva (Taking over the boards, one topic at a time.) on Sunday, 06-Jul-2008 8:57:54

Well I'm personally not on miriani as actively as I used to be for several reasons mainly that I got kinda bored of the same thing over and over again but I come around still from time to time. As far as people not having a life just cuz they play that's not true either. I have a job, soon to have two jobs and yet as I said I slip on by to miriani from time to time.
The story line is an ever evolving story line that always changes through host/player interaction and in actuality most newer muds are like that now.
As for not going anywhere, yes I was a bit adicted at the time but I managed to get a battlecruiser, lots of money, be the number one player in the game, make a few friends and a couple enemies as well. So trust me, I've gone somewhere.
In short, although I myself am not all that satisfied with miriani right now that doesn't mean that it is a super horrible game that everyone should petition to get rid of. It's a game that took lots of work to code and that many people still to this day do support.
Albori and Merigle, keep it up, and don't worry about someone who feels a little upset because a battlecruiser probably bullied them or something.

That's what I love about miriani, its always changing, the hosts keep a good storyline going, and the other muds that I've tried, don't really do that.

Post 73 by HauntedReverie (doing the bad mango) on Sunday, 06-Jul-2008 14:28:54

I agree Mike. Miriani's awsome

Hey, I was going through this thread again, just because...well...i was bored. I forgot to add two things.
1. Spellcheck cody. SPELLCHECK!
2. Y does having a chime clock as a doorbell sound really cool?

You know what amuses me, is the fact that the biggest complainer's are the addicted? Interesting how that works. Well cala, I do play a lot, you might even know me on there. And for the person who thinks that we blindies have nothing to do with our lives, who hath made thee a judge over us? I happen to be getting a music major, thank you very much. ANd if I play miriani, or alter, or slipgate, or even video games, whitch is what a lot of sighted people do, then I'm not doing anything with my life. Boy that's short sighted isn't it?Some would say it's not the games, it's the people who play them. I for example, have never had sleepless nights, over what happens to my char. And I can tell the difference betweene the 2 worlds, Rp and RL. So before you go dissing RP's, word of advice son, Take in to account the people you don't know, from the one's that you do. ANd, I'm off to kill some praylor, because my life has no other meaning, JK. Actually, I'm off to kill some praylor because it's fun. TTFN!

man, are you high? I mean if you so say that you have a PHD in whatever, you sure don't write like it! And about you saying that "all blind people" who play those games don't have any sence and that they should find something to do with their lives, that's none of your freaking business! You're beeing self-rightches and rude and you have no room telling others what to do! you've gone way too far with this! You have no right to make us sign such stupid petitions that aren't worth two dimes! and yeah while I do think that RPGS are stupid hearing all this stuff about them is making me want to see what this is really all about, so thank you Cody, you're making me want to play it now! So if someone would please excuse my ignorance and send me the link to that Mariani game cite I'd really appriciate it.
Thanks
Y

Post 78 by Colombian Coke (Veteran Zoner) on Saturday, 02-Aug-2008 12:53:59

Thanks, and I certainly hope that I do become addicted! Maybe that way we can all get together and open up a miriani rehab center and since I'm going to be a shrink then all you addicts can come to me and I can releeve you of your addiction! And yeah, if you want to send me that link just private message me with it.
Thanks
