Musician Archive

Today when I logged in, and appeared in my cantina as usual, I was presently surprised two players in there. One was a imperial maser musician like me, and to my surprise he was playing a omni box, the other was a non-imperial and was listening to the musician.
So I thought that I should say hello to them and se what brought them to town. However, when I said "hello" in special I got no reply, so perhaps they wend afk while the buff was being applied. I therefore sat down and started filling some fireworks show packets for my vendor.
After 2 minutes or so, the musician stood up, and I uttered my "hello" again, but they both just left the cantina with out even noticing I was there.

Is it just me or is common curtsy in this game, as rear as pink rancors?

The anonymous net at its best. People often bring up their guild or group chat and never have spatial visible. Even if they do there are a bunch of people who don't know how to act in a civil manner. Blame it on turn key kids, poor schools, no training in manners. I don't know but there is a large number of people who just don't understand the basics of human interaction anymore. I come from a completely different generation and frankly it scares me to think where we will be when the current teen and early 20 generation comes to power. Do you think we will start seeing speaches by our president some day that go "Iraq I pwned ju", utterly frightening.

Yay! I scare someone...collectively with the rest of my generation of course. I don't think I could do it on my own. I myself am much too lovable to scare anyone.

Actually, I think the 1337 crowd is no worse (and in some ways better) than the hippies of the baby boomer generation. They went from smoking dope on the Capital steps in 1974to taking bribes in the Capital closets in 2004. It's much the same now. Eventually the 1337 |]00|]5 will figure out there is something beyond immediate personal gratification and mature into rational adults.

I hope.

Well lets see. As a hippie I rallied to stop a war, burned my draft card, walked in an equal rights march, lost friends in Viet Nam and a friend at college to national guard. I admit I did my share of drugs/sex/rock and roll.

No I see very few similarities.

Yes, I do see my share of people who do not like to talk, or even acknowledge you...but in my experience, those people are rather the exception. When I start speaking with most people and getthem to talking, they usually just start yammering away

Woot! Lytefoots older than me

I was born during Viet Nam.......

We do seem to have an older crowd around here, most of the time, me thinks

But then when you can be "anon", the maturity of the poster comes through and age is a moot point.

I agree if you can get them talking many will usually open up. However I do run into several who don't, I suspect in many cases its either they don't watch spatial in the default chat window or they may not speak English. I know I've seen several groups speaking languages I barely can guess at so I certainly wouldn't expect them to understand my southern howdy Still there are some that are just taciturn but I can be that way somedays myself.

Oh it wasn't all its made out to be. I was a mild activist but not truely a hippy, the war took a lot of friends both patriotic and activist alike. In fact the hippy movement was dying as I got old enough to be involved. The hippies weren't as peace loving and beautiful as people want to remember. I remember visiting haite ashbury in San Francisco and being shocked to find that they sold porn on the street corners as "free love" and were excessively dirty people. :/

Speaking of that, I was IDing tonight and had a group of four folks hanging around the Coronet ID Tent, I could not understand a word they were saying. I am assuming they were speaking a language from the Netherlands as it looked a little familiar to me, but it was not german, italian, spanish or french. So yes, there are folks that don't speak english or speak so little when they do, they come off sounding very young and/or unschooled.
