#6908 Wow Andrea, that was really moving. I'm so happy you felt the need to defend me to that extent, your story was so touching. Thank you so much, I can't express how much I relate to this.

#6910 Can I also say... Yall need to grow a thicker skin if you want to play in Stranded All-stars or Second Chances. I intend to indoctrinate you all through lots of conditioning. I'm sure our constant negativity, fighting and berating will help you all with this post season XD

But yea... we're a rough bunch, lots of name calling, low blows... bullying... what have you. Wouldn't be Stranded without some fighting :P

I don't consider it weak or thin-skinned to value being kind to people. You can keep preaching your point of view and I can keep preaching mine.

no I know. I was never at the point where I lost sleep over what Tai said. Not a chance, I knew he was all smoke and mirrors. But Andrea defending me really hit home, I'm really happy with that.

No totally, I think it's awesome that you guys are so positive and friendly... i'm just saying... Stranded gets fucking DARK. Players have teased each other for disabilities in the past. Players have used deeply personal stories of rape to attack other players. Like... shit gets real sometimes. And while we put a stop to it... we have some seriously hardcore players so I want to prepare you for that world, especially if you're going to be going up against our more entertaining/outrageous players in any kind of all-stars.

Okay that I definitely appreciate being prepared for that, if I'm brought back, and thank you. But if you think I'm gonna sink to that level ever you got another think coming. I'm fine with being made fun of for talking about sweetness and light or whatever, and I'm fine with that being my shtick. I'm not going to break because someone's mean to someone, including me. I'm just not going to forgive them for it and chalk it up to part of the game, and I'm not gonna deal it back.

Trust me Jeff, this was just a warm-up, conditioning if you will. I'm ready for whatever comes next. My friend group always joke around, insult each other, make fun of eachother every chance we get. I've been called so many things I can't count: Napoleon Dynamite being the epitome: I've got thicker skin than I let on, I swear.

Agreed, I wouldn't sink that low, but I WOULD be able to take those insults and weaponize them.

#6925 yeah, my sticking up for nick was never because he gave me any indication that he NEEDED it. it's just what felt right for me to do.

and like i said in the speech...it was not just for tai. there were a number of people who crossed that line for me and if i can maybe get them to think about the way they talk to people and MAYBE because of me they don't someday push the wrong person at the wrong time...then hey, what else do i need.

I think it's also important to point out, we all give eachother shit, we all fight like cats and dogs the alumni. We're all very different and very big personalities, but at the end of the day we all still talk to each other. For the most part we're all friends.
I think it's because most of us are guys and that kinda comes with the territory. Although we do have several girls in our ranks that also get in on the fighting, etc... It's just a nature of the humor/style of play that Stranded alumni come to adopt.

Just trying to prepare you all for the ugliness cuz I don't want to run half of you guys off. Trying to ease you in XD

Yes. The host chat on skype is like 50% fighting and low-blows and 50% making fun of how terrible you all are at Stranded. icon_ha

BUt the good news is that you all will get to laugh at the net group of naive n00bs for making dumb mistakes from the comfort of your bubble. icon_mml
