On Blank Walls

Judgement leaves Alliance

Breaking news! Judgement has left our alliance! Indeed it is shocking! But, the question on everyone's mind is, "WHY?"

(I don't know!)

But we are all sad right?

Yes, I'm very upset that Judgement left. Aw wells.

Actually I'm not upset. Frankly speaking, and let me be very honest here, I don't really mind. I seldom spoke to their members (except for the Christmas celebrations, no words were exchanged.). I do not know about the rest of my guild members, but that's how I feel.

I mean, I didn't even know who the guildmaster of Judgement was, (pardon me, my friend, I believe you would forgive me, because you probably do not know who I am either, so that means we're even.) and isn't that such a shame?

Being in the same Alliance, and not even knowing the GUILDMASTER of a fellow guild.

Isn't that such a shame?

Judgement, your members are nice and all, and I'm not blaming you or anything, but the truth is, I don't know you at all.

And its saddening. To have OUR - yes, OUR - Alliance become like this. Is it because I didn't try hard enough? Or maybe I tried too hard?

I really don't know what else to say.

But it struck me that...I barely even KNEW the guildmasters of XtremyDreams and Judgement. By name, yes. But nothing else. No contact whatsoever.

I remember, when this Alliance was first created, we wanted to be "friendly" and "helpful".

Let me quickly relate an incident.

Names have been censored, lest we step on each others' toes.



Now, to the person who asked in the first place ("is there a nid..etc"), DO NOT flame me or anything.

This SS was quite long ago, and perhaps you have forgotten, but I have not. Before you start scolding me for being petty and annoying and all that, let me ask you: What do you mean, why we greet people?

What? It's annoying? So greeting people is considered annoying, and that is a useless waste of space in the chatbox?

I'm not saying you're in the wrong, mind you, I'm just voicing my opinions.

If you feel that whenever people log-in, that greeting them is annoying, then fine.

But don't you see, its a whole vicious cycle.

Let's say, I want to greet a bunch of people, but they don't say anything, because they feel that greeting people is a waste of time and saliva, then after many times of trying to talk to these "walls", I will just give up greeting too. Then if people were to come up to me, expecting a greeting, and all they get back is a blank stare, how would they feel?

If you think that's nothing, try facing a few walls a day. After a few days, you'll get demoralised, and you'll stop greeting too.

So isn't it a whole vicious cycle?

And all it takes are a few blank walls to ruin the cycle of 'hellos' among happy people.

So, are you among the happy people, or are you a blank wall? The choice lies with you. You decide what you choose to be. A happy person who greets everyone, or a blank wall who just stares blankly.

Your choice. Your life.
