A select few people in the bw community have known since day 1. oG)Avi just made me come to a realization. Zia has sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much dirt on SO many members of the bw community, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to just throw a few fun-filled facts out here.  ipban + nuke ftw. | ||

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  | ||

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. qft | ||

was Zia based off anyone? who is the metalhead? and the big question does anyone ACTUALLY like nightwish? or is that part of the joke too. that would be the ultimate pun. | ||

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. | ||

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... | ||
