This is not how mature human beings behave

The other day I had an encounter with a spoiled little brat …although according to her, she was hardly a brat. Well, like a 23-year old brat ×D I would prefer to tell her this in her face, but was …unable to do it; nothing better to do here anyway, so why not blog about it a bit?

Think a little intro is required for you to get the perspective. Well, kill me; either just don’t read this paragraph or don’t read the post at all ×D Anyhow, I’ve been playing Star Wars The Old Republic for ages now. We used to have a local guild (I actually blogged [Croatian] about it like 8 years ago), but it’s been pretty-much dead for years now. I’ve been going through different guilds with different toons for the past few years, but I’ve always kept the main toon in the old guild in hopes people might start showing up again. Well, whenever I log onto that toon, there’s maybe one more person online in the guild in addition to meself and not a very talkative person at that. Anyway, a couple of weeks ago or so, I logged in to find someone online, and a talkative someone at that! Now, for the sake of argument, let’s just call that someone Alma.

I managed to talk Alma in joining my current guild (very nice people in there 🙂). One evening I even stayed up quite long to invite all her toons to the Imperial guild. Note that, anyone could have done that, but she wanted me to do it. We were planning to do a mission together for some time, but never managed to synchronize our timetables ×D Once she actually fucked me up good without touching my dick by a milimetre ×D but never mind that. Anyhow, one evening we started the so much planned mission …and, well managed to do five minutes tops, when the bitch left the mission, stopped talking to me, blocked me and soon afterwards left the guild and discord servers (hence me blogging instead of telling this to her face ×D ). So what happened? She wanted to skip everything (cinematics, dialogues and whatever). I wanted to hear the story ’cause it had been ages since I’d done the mission before, so I told her mkay, I wanna hear the story, so I’m gonna skip as soon as I read/hear what they’re saying. Well, needless to say, little Alma didn’t like that… Now, Alma before trashing your spoiled little ass, like you deserve, lemme apologize if you lied about your age and you actually are like 13 years old. I mean, your spoiled behaviour is still inexcusable, but at least it can be understood in that case. Anyhow, who the FUCK do you think you are for everything to be exactly the way you want?! Not willing to compromise one bit or at least tell me why it’s so bloody important for you to skip bloody everything… This is how spoiled brats in puberty behave; not mature people. Although we understand and tolerate such a behaviour in puberty, we nevertheless chide kids because it’s unacceptable and we certainly don’t encourage such a behaviour. You told me you’d left a guild because of an argument. Well, if you behaved like that, no wonder. At least, you had sense enough to leave us before we kicked you for spoiled behaviour. Of course, it’s possible you hadn’t had the sense with the previous guild and they actually kicked you. In which case, you kinda learned a lesson; but a better lesson to learn would be to change your bloody behaviour rather than fleeing guilds before you show your true colours.

Oh, I’ve been kidding with a guildy how women can be bitchy during PMS. Before, you conclude that’s just some geeky macho talk, the guildy in question is a woman ×D Anyhow, nope, PMS ain’t an accuse. I’m frequently in pain and I don’t jump around at people. If I feel moody, cranky or whatever, I avoid contact. I certainly don’t agree to do something with someone, only to jump at them and vent all my frustrations at them… Well, at the very least, if you do such a thing, you can say you’re sorry afterwards, you were just pissed at the world and overreacted; you know something that tends to work best when you don’t brake all the contact whatsoever…

A little digression: Alma and I did one mission together before the planned mission. A weird guy – to say the least – did that one with us and Alma immediately said she wouldn’t do any more mission with him which is her prerogative and, well, I mean the guy wouldn’t even revive his fallen comrades! Anyhow, just before going all haywire, Alma told me that I was “worse” than that guy. Well, Alma, the guy in question might be weird and if you ask me he does behave a bit childishly, but not like a spoiled brat. So I may be “worse” than him, but we’re both better than you, which makes you…,

Well, that’s it,
Take care, cheers and skål!

Red Squad

Ovo nije post o onim štreberima iz Starog dreka, niti je post o onoj Star Wars ekipici iako s tom ekipicom ima više veze budući da smo Star Wars The Old Republic (ToR) gilda. Ipak, budući da se radnja odvija nekih 5000 godina prije formiranja spomenutog Red Squada, rekao bih da baš ni s njim nemamo previše veze 😀

Tagirajući stare postove, danas sam se podsjetio da sam blogao o svojoj gildi u Atlantici (Reaperi). Onda da spomenem i Red Squad 😀

Riječ je o gildi s ovih prostora – ima nas od Triglava do Vardara [“od Koruške do Šumadije” mi bolje zvuči, ali kaže šef (guildmaster/guildleader) da imamo i Makedonce, čak i Bugara, pa da ih ne izostavim iako mislim da s njima nisam igrao].
Meni je nedavno palo na pemt ime Mos Eisley ćevabdžinica (ono, kao Mos Eisley kantina), ali budući da se promjena imena gilde naplaćuje pravim parama…

Gilda je na republičkoj strani europskog PVE* servera Red Eclipse.
*PVE je skraćenica od Player Versus Environment što znači da je server namijenjen ubijanju mobova i prelaženju igre, a ne mlaćenju drugih igrača. Međutim, PVP (Player Versus Player) je moguć na PVE ToR serverima, ali te ne mogu mlatit bez pristanka 😀

Kako postati član

Koliko znam, trenutno je jedino ograničenje da razumijete ovaj post 😉 Naime, igrača s ovih prostora nema puno u odnosu na ostatak svijeta i Europe. Razloga je više: mali broj stanovnika čitave regije u odnosu na ostatak Europe; lošije financijsko stanje u odnosu na ostatak Europe (znači, manja kompjuteriziranost, slabiji kompjuteri i sl.); nepoznavanje svjetskih jezika (ukratko, naš jezik je pizdin dim i kad se zbroje hrvatski, srpski, bosanski i crnogorski; pa čak i ako se svi zapadnoslavenski jezici stave u isti koš), najčešće engleskog (u ovom slučaju ili njemačkog ili francuskog jer postoje ToR serveri na tim jezicima i igra je dostupna na tim jezicima)… Ipak, na serveru postoji još barem jedna domaća gilda – Balkan United.
Dovoljno je samo zamoliti nekog član gilde da vas ubaci, Čim postaneš član, možeš zvati druge ljude. I sumnjam da će se to promijeniti u skoroj budućnosti.

Nemamo web stranicu, poput foruma; ali postoji grupa gilde na Facebooku čijim članom možete postati odmah po upadu u gildu. Admin, ili jedan od, je Strasilo (Rasturam, Dibbil, Prozor), pa je njega potrebno kontaktirati (barem sam ja tako ušao u grupu).

Također, imamo sobu u TeamSpeaku.

Za sve ostale detalje je najbolje da kontaktirate šefa, Qu’wele’net, u igri.

O igri Star Wars The Old Republic

Riječ je o MMORPG igri smještenoj u Star Wars galaksiji. Dio je serijala Knights of the Old Republic (KoTR) (treći nastavak).

Kao i radnja Star Wars filmova, radnja igre ove igre se odvija “nekoć davno” u istoj dalekoj galaksiji. Međutim, radnja igre se odvija otprilike 5000 godina davnije nego u filmovima.

Bit je da je igru, od 11.mjeseca 2012. godine, moguće besplatno igrati (i to legalno). Registracija je, naravno, potrebna, ali je besplatna. Besplatno igranje igre ima dosta ograničenja, ali je moguće napredovati u igri bez da se plaća. Lako je postati pretplatnik kad god poželiš 😀

Da više ne tupim o igri, sve informacije je moguće naći na službenoj stranici igre, uključujući i skinuti igru*.
*Instalacija igre (de facto skidanje igre) traje više od pola dana. Igra ima 25 GB, tako da nemojte ni pomišljati o skidanju igre bez flateratea 😀

Evo još završna misao o igri: svima kojima se Star Wars imalo sviđa, toplo preporučam igru 🙂
Zapravo preporučam igru općenito. Da citiram članicu gilde: Ne volim baš Star Wars, ali obožavam BioWare (proizvođač ToR-a). Do sad me nikad nisu razočarali.

P.S. Gilda je aktivna i na imperijalnoj strani. Međutim, imperijalna (tamna) strana je bazirana na nacizmu. Osim znatiželje za drugačijom pričom, razlozi igranja na imperijalnoj strani mogu biti samo, najčešće, preseravanje (glumatanje zločestih dečki) ili psihička poremećenost. Budući da igru još nisam završio ni s jedi knightom, a postoje još tri klase (po četiri na svakoj strani, a svaka klasa ima drugačiju priču), ja ne igram na imperijalnoj strani iako mi je jedan lik rekao da je “zanimljivije” igrati na imperijalnoj strani. Bez brige, igra je dovoljno zanimljiva i zabavna na republičkoj strani 😀
U biti, tko ima višak vremena, zašto ne probati i imperijalnu stranu 😀 Možete nas i tamo naći, samo, pretpostavljam, pod drugim imenom (jedna gilda ne može biti na obje strane, ali ime se možda može ponavljati).

Strange people

Yesterday evening, I was playing the Old Republic.

I was having a convo with another player. After some time, I realized the player ain’t a native speaker, just like me, so I asked her where she was from. She told me the country and asked why did I want to know. Told her I was just wondering upon what she called me a perve.
Now, what the fuck?! Can you explain me how wondering where someone’s from is pervert? Bloody hell, there are strange people…

Okay, I guess I should’ve asked her what her native lingo was though which of these two questions is better is purely in the eye of the beholder (which eye exactly? 😀 ). Personally, I don’t see what’s wrong with wondering where someone’s from. Been asked the same question many times meself and I certainly haven’t called those asking me that perves.

Jedi Academy a dying game?

Four years ago, when I was a member of a Jedi Academy clan, I remember there was a post about Jedi Academy being a dying game ’cause it was really old (back then, it was 4 years old) and that there were only like 500 servers left (I guess there had been a lot more at the beginning).

True, games like Modern Warfare have a lot more servers, but 500 is not a small number either, especially for a four year old game.

Four more years have passed now (yeah, the game is twice as old now as it was back then) and I can’t say that the number of servers hasn’t dropped since ’cause I’ve hardly numbered the servers, but the fact is that Xfire still lists a lot of Jedi Academy servers. I just took a little look through them – there are like dozens of different clans. Probably a lot more ’cause Xfire doesn’t list all the servers (it does most, but not all) and these were just the ones with an obvious clan name (e.g. EK clan server; there are like a lot of servers with the beginning of the name ………………………………………).

Anyway, how the hell can an eight year old game with a fair number of servers and clans be dying?
