This and your icon just made my day. :)
 
IOT (n.) - A subforum where people come on to engage in frenzied geopolitical battles and then talk about which fictional characters they'd like to copulate with.

It's so much better than having a three page OOC argument in the main thread.

Now we come back to our regularly schedueled funposting.

Do we have one then?
Do you suggest clogging other threads up?
Do you suggest taking it to chat? Ailed was not on chat when I made my response to that.
What are we supposed to do with argentina anyway? just post 50 variations of "absolutely disgusting" and pictures of a product that happens to be called "topkeks"? Is that why we have Argentina?
Because if so there is no point to having Argentina threads, let's take all our stuff over to chat where people may or may not be online if you have a gripe with something they did and want to respond to it?
EDIT:
Oh wait. I just realized.
The IOTers chat reviles most? A greek, a Dutchman, a Romanian and a Brit. Or, as some people who shall not be named like to repeat, "not people".
It's clear continuously that the Western hemisphere side of IOT has utter contempt for everyone who doesn't fit to their stereotype of the particular country, and the implication is seriously there that we should all leave.
I know what's going to happen as a response. HJ's going to post the IOTSRSNBZNSS image again, Sone's going to go and chat and publicly ridicule me, and some of you are going to pretend you care again.
You don't. You never did.

I'm only going to focus on the relevant bit of this post and I suggest everyone else do the same. Let's not get waded down in irrelevant shiite.

But I do Cived! I care immensely! I wouldn't spend most of my waking hours on IOTchat, post daily on IOT, waste time I should be using to study and do other valuable things here and contribute to our culture if I didn't care! I care deeply about every single person who makes up IOT. You guys are as much friends to me as the guys I hung out with during highschool, if not more so. You people are like family to me.

Civ'ed, I know you are probably seeing the world through a distorted lens right now, thinking that everyone dislikes you or you are burden to everyone or some other complete BS. So let me make this clear. I care deeply about you Civ'ed, I want you to be happy and safe. And I would do everything in my power to help you guys out of a bad situation.

There's really not much I can do now. I'll send a prayer to Odin, even though he's not my god it is worth a shot. Then I'll go to sleep and probably regret this post but damn it Civ'ed I don't want you to feel like this. I want you to know that I care so much and that there are people there. If this post has made you feel worse then I'm sorry I just don't know what to do or say to make things better but if I did know the right words to say I would say them and now I'm just typing on the keyboard to hope I get the right combination of words I don't know man just please be okay. Please. :(
 
Cived we do care, as you and everyone else here is part of our little community.
 
As Poly said, you're part of the community, and the community is like a squid, or an octopus; if someone tries to drift away, the main body plunges a few anime-worthy tentacles and grabs him , returning him back to the community.
[mom accent] YOU CANNOT LEAVE, MISTAH! [/mom accent]

This. So much this. I care about you Civ'ed. I've gone through what you're going through before, I know what it's like. and I'm not sure if I ever said this before, if you ever need someone to talk to (and even vent and hurl abuse at) I'm here and completely willing.

As many others saying, I echo this 100%. Civ'ed, we're with you until the end, because:

I think it is important to remember that IOTs are just a game, not to say it is unnatural to become very attached to them and what happens in them, I'm pretty sure everyone has lost a bit of sleep over one at one point. the point of my IOTSRSBZNS is just a dumb way to remind people just to step it back a bit. In the end I couldn't care less about IOT, if it lives, if it dies, if I do well, if I fail as it is just a game.

What I do care about is the people I have spoken to for 2, 3 and for you Civ'ed, 4 years.

I consider you a friend (and I hope you do in return), and I really hope the friendship doesn't end.
 
Hmm, I recall I left (or gone on Hiatus) from IOT and no one seemed to notice.

I was, but I stopped going after the ridiculous amounts of screencapings back in the day. Got sick and tired of the use of them as blackmail.

That practice has thankfully stopped now.
