I want to write a spamfic

Didn't bother to think of it that way. To be honest, I'm trying to spark some motivation back into myself because I've been having a really lousy time lately, but it seems like I'm going about it the wrong way.Reason why I asked is because I figured I could also use this as a way to get to know folks a bit more. Thing is, I don't really get around. It's extremely hard for me to interact with people. And it's like whenever I do try and be more social, I end up making blunders.Maybe what I should have done instead is talk with spammers a bit more through PMs rather than jump to this straight away.

You could've just said you wanted to get to know people better if that was your goal.

Sorry for ranting specifically at you, though - I was really irked more by the general trend affecting the 2nd wave of Spamfics than by you in particular.

Spam =/= randumb.I made that mistake.Doesn't mean there's no fun though...Unless you're turt. Which you are. Hi turt.

Especially you. You're too new to even know who Turt is. :I

Checking to see

You know, maybe we could, like... not accuse newcomers of being Turt's alt all the time?

I mean, I get that walking straight into Spam isn't normal behavior and it's kind of reason for suspicion... if you're a mod, who can check these things. Maybe you can say that it sounds suspicious, but there is a possibility that it's not an alt, you know, so don't sound so certain about it. :I Isn't there a possibility that this newcomer joined, looked around at the different forums, saw "Spam" and wondered what it might be (since it's not exactly the sort of thing found on your average roleplaying forum), thus leading him inside?

Not at all implausible if you ask me - especially now that Spam is listed separately away from OT and such. Kind of makes it stand out more, I think.

So, about that spamfic I tried to do (but didn't because laziness and shit writing)

Yay!! :D

Ironically, I do have autism.I have PDDNOS, and I'm quite aware not all of us are basement dwelling freaks. And I've done research on Wizadchan - even visited it to see what it is like... and a lot of them have autism, and act like autism is an excuse for how they act. (No job. Welfare for their 'disability'. Claiming people owe THEM a living, etc.) Not all autistics are like that, but the loudest brings the most attention, you know? That's why I used the term asspie, to illustrate the negative connotations of the term. (Using A-Word privileges, basically.)I was saying that autistic people are east targets because how they, or, rather, us, tend to act. Sorry that I did not clarify what I meant.Also, in a way, I was trying to defend the Wizards... By mocking them. It... Made sense at the time.

Oh, sorry.

I was rather sleep-deprived when I posted that. My bad. :I

Still, you should probably be more careful next time. That wasn't hard to misinterpret as something way worse than it was meant to be.

Wizards are a group of people exactly like Christian Weston Chandler - A group of asspie virgins who wallow in self pity and basement dwelling, complining about how no one wants to fuck them. What would you expect from them?At the same time, no one would dare say anything about a group of fat autistic losers who live with their parents and leech off of society if they were female, because you'd be called sexist. So I see the Wizards as an easy target. VERY easy target.

You know what?

I admit that I know very little about gaming and absolutely nothing about the subject of this debate, and I was only reading this thread because I can't sleep and mindlessly browsing forums tends to help me with that issue - so I'm not going to comment too extensively about the subject of this debate, which I apologize for. Ordinarily, I tend not to comment on threads that I only read to lull myself to sleep.

However, after reading this post, I really do feel the need to say that "autistic" is not an insult.

I don't care who the fuck these Wizards people are. They could be the biggest assholes on the planet for all I know. But "autistic" is certainly not synonymous with "stupid" or "idiotic" or whatever you're trying to use the word as. Really it's just offensive to autistic people. Tbh I feel the same way about using words like "retarded" and "gay" as insults but those words are so {unfortunately} ingrained into the public conscience as such that I usually don't throw a fit every time I see someone throwing them around. But "autistic"? Do people actually say that? Are you just picking up on what you've been hearing other people say or did you make up that one yourself?

Because if you think that every autistic person is a basement-dwelling loser who wallows in self-pity for attention then you are so, so horribly misinformed. There are plenty of perfectly nice "aspies" out there - especially here on the Guild, where some of them even make very well-made arguments in the Off Topic section containing points you agree with. So stop using that word that way - because it just makes you look like, ironically, your own definition of autistic.

And if you manage to spread it around enough that "autistic" becomes the new "retarded" then I am sorry for autistic people everywhere on your behalf.

I apologize again for de-railing this thread. That post just rubbed me the wrong way. Badly. And I felt I needed to say something. Sorry again. Carry on, everyone.

I want to write a spamfic

I'm getting kind of tired of this "tell me how you want your character to be portrayed" shtick.

Are you running a game or writing a story? If it's a story, then you should be able to choose how it goes and design characters for us however you see fit - however you see us. If everyone's telling you what they want their characters to be like, then it's really not your story anymore. At least, not so much. And odds are, you won't have nearly as much fun writing it if you have to conform to what everyone else wants. Aaaaand then you'll probably have to give up on the story due to lack of motivation. So just write whatever you wanna write. Half the fun of Spamfics is waiting to see how you're portrayed, anyway.
