Someone PMed me and apologized to me because they thought I was C00lDUDE1000 and didn't know. I'm not C00LDUDE1000. I only ever had this account and AndImABoliever, and only made this account because I lost the password to my other one. So however it got misconstrued that I'm C00lDUDE, that's not true.
I appreciate you trying to mix things up with new competitions, but I see a big problem with the new Words game. Sometimes you'll get words that are anagrams of each other, and both could be correct. For example, I got a game with HRWOT, and I put WORTH, which is definitely a word. But you wanted THROW only. I also have encounted OGD giving me DOG and GOD, YAN giving me ANY and Nay, and ELETS giving me SLEET and STEEL. I don't think this is right. I think we should have it so that there's only one possible correct word that can be made. Will this eventually be possible?
I was just informed that a user on this site, who is a teenager, was bullied into going along with the actions of other people they played with, and has been for awhile. Specifically, this person told me that they were threatened by their "friends" that if he/she didn't cooperate, the "friends" would out this person to his/her mother.
...really? Seriously? Do the people who are involved with this honestly realize what they're doing? You're messing with someone who is still growing and developing, and taking their life within the game and using it to your will? ...why? Why are you acting this way? The actions your threatening would have real life consequences on the kid, and more importantly, I think you're giving them the wrong impression about how people will react to their sexuality when they grow up. The people who are bullying this person should realize, in a site filled with many LGBQT users, that sexuality shouldn't be used as a weapon, and more importantly, that the game is just a fucking game. Not anything ruining a teenager's life over.
I hope the people behind this realize their mistake, and treat this person like a real individual in the future. Because I am disgusted with the actions of these people as human beings.
I've seen some blogs about this subject matter. I have a mild form of high-functioning autism myself. And I want to make something very clear.
I've seen posts describing what I have and what others have dealt with as an illness. That is not at all true. I've been in physically good health for most of my life. My autism has never affected me physically, I've never felt "sick" having it. It's just given me some quirks and a certain social awkwardness at times. Even those who have a much more severe form than I do, the kind that you see in the worse scenario, they do not have an illness. They still enjoy life in their own way, and have thoughts and feelings like everyone else. Let's be realistic, there are challenges unique to the autism experience, as I know first hand. However, challenges alone do not make someone have an illness. I understand what the person was saying when they mentioned this comment, but as someone who lives with autism and will continue to do so my whole life, illness has never been the right word, and I think if you spoke to many people on the autism spectrum, they'd agree. Just be careful with the wording of such things, is all I ask.
From tomdudley before I got put up: "well I'm going to nom the person who nommed me and someone who evicted me who is trying to make out as if they saved me"
Elvira did nom him the first round, so he was telling the truth there. However, I wasn't trying to sound like I saved Tom. I DID save Tom. FrozenShadow09 can confirm that I told him I evicted him in PM. It just sucks when you literally get evicted for telling the truth. That's not something that happens every day.
