Several people have their juicy bullshit opinions (no offense intended to anyone, but it's just true), so whenever they get bored of that, maybe we'll move on.

ok so now he s gonna convince all of us he's three guys, suddenly 2 new accounts appear and introduce themselves as the other two, they have these amazing adventures until one day we find out its actually a... monkey! he lives in some lab which location he cant specify, just like its purpose. somehow the monkey manages to escape, but keeps visiting tl and damn, this monkey has a live! one thing after the other happens and before we know it, its 10 years from now and we learn to know that he's not a monkey! the monkey aka three people aka zia will confess us that it's actually a alien who was abandonned from its home planet. it's new home was earth... it hid in a basement for years, feeding on some weird stuff or cereals or something. it also discovered that the only way it could reproduce was by talking to people on msn and this makes a lot of tl users the happy father/mother of a healthy... well something. it then blackmails all of them into paying her a certain amount of money (by threatening them to else sue their asses or tell their mothers), a proces taking another 5 years or so. then naz decides to close tl.net, this being the only way to be save of... whatever it turns out to be.

but thats just my prediction.

I still trust people online
this is the only time it's fucked me over and on average trusting people makes you able to form way better relationships and make way more and better friends
I mean I went down to holland alone like 3 years ago to visit naz raszi oaral and meat for 2 weeks without having met or talked on phone with any of them before
it was absolutely great
I've met lots of people through the net actually and well apart from this one incident it has always been really cool.. in some cases really really cool and it has definitely given me really, really good friends that I care shitloads about

I read about half way through this thread....it's just so fucking long.

I'm in Zia's east clan (CapN.). There were always incosistencies in "her" story, but I never really thought about it or cared. I didn't think about it mainly because of all the things Eri said, but I never really cared either because I've always felt that there should be no reason for treating guys and girls differently online. It's not like you are going to meet these people in real life.

I will almost certainly continue wearing that CapN. tag because to me it never amttered if Zia was a guy or a girl. I hope this serves as a reality check to all of you who became overly involved, actually caring if Zia was male or female and develop deep feelings of love and/or sympathy for Zia. I remember when Zia told me about her knee being "shattered" (which was before anything was posted on this forum in so far as I know), and while I kind of felt bad for Zia, I didn't act on it. Losing a game for the wrong reasons right before I fall asleep will cause me to sleep poorly, but Zia's story didn't.



All of you who feel betrayed were betraying yourselves more than Zia was betraying you. You tried to take the human element of real life onto the internet. You made your social life and feelings revolve around the internet. But while the internet may bring people closer together in terms of knowledge and connectivity, it also pushes people farther apart because the human element is almost entirely non-existent.

This is why I tell people to get off their computers. Anyone who I "meet" online (key word ... you never actually "met" them) could never be "close" to me, simply because I've never MET them.

Its such an easy concept, anyone who has even average social skills knows that online is online, real life is the only place you can really trust anyone, because you can actually get to know them.

Even more simply, the context of conversation is how relationships and friendships are made in life, any sort of connection with another human being involves communication. Communication is possible online, through languages - what you don't have is Voice Tonality ... Body Language ... Energy Levels ... Facial Expressions - and these things are perhaps even more critical in the process of judging a person's character/personality than what they're actually saying. Because we all know, people lie, but unless they've been trained by the CIA - we can probably figure out that somethings fishy with someone meeting them in real life.

Just a good example for me to encourage people to step away from their computers, because in actuality a "relationship" you have online with someone can effectively change to jack shit in a matter of seconds. More often than not it wasn't even there in the first place.


that's a load of shit and Nazgul has said and explained it more than once.

we can use Zia as our perfect example even in this case.
we all know "Zia" the character, perfectly damn well. spend five years talking to someone, you can judge them, you can know who they are what they do what they're lifes plans are. you can know everything you want to know about them, even just through online. you can trust them, you can make a meaningful relationship out of it.


That's your opinion ... I'm just going to guess that you spend a lot of time over the internet ... I do too, I used to have friends on starcraft, I have friends on certain forums.

If I like talking to them I'll even add them to my AOL buddy list and talk to them frequently, by no means though would I ever ... say fly out to meet this person on a whim, let them borrow large amounts of money, etc... because you just can't tell over the internet.

If I start talking to someone on the phone, sharing pictures, talking on AIM, and then meet them in real life, this person can become an "actual" friend of mine, I'm just saying its very easy to lie on the internet and in my opinion this whole Zia character is a "perfect example" of why I am right.

so the one time out of the THOUSANDS of people you've met online actually turns out to be lying and you think you're right?

i think the issue lies in trusting people.

some people believing trusting people until given a reason not to is a handicap

i do not, however.

No .. I trust A LOT of people, I decide whether or not I will trust someone using the skills I've aquired in the 19 years I've been alive. This is in real life though, when you can get an idea of who they really are instead of just words on a screen. I have a few friends on starcraft who I thought were cool (I ended up chilling with exalted once), but besides that they're not really any more to me than a "starcraft friend."

I don't know, I guess its just that I don't spend that much time playing computer games anymore so I separate "online" friends I haven't met yet from "real life" friends that I hang out with consistently. If I think a friend from online is really cool based on the conversations we have then I might make an effort to meet up in real life, THEN he can become an actual friend. I guess you could say I'm selective, maybe a bit self-cenetered but that's the way I am.

I don't see why some people are treating it as if it's pure nerdery to care about finding out? It's not like I'm in tears here or something, but I am curious about what Adam has to say about it...
