oh I was sad before, like during the period from october to december

but when I found out I was happy. loving a person with immense amount of issues and traumas as the zia personality is much worse than realizing I had been played for so long/that the person is not real.

I don't think anyone should ridicule the ppl who were willing to donate and/or taking an interest in the leg story- I remember when MAni was "missing" and ppl were caring the same or even more. And to the ppl who are doing the "haha you naive idiots fell for it" thingy now: there are two edges on the blade of cynicism and both are very, very sharp.

So I guess it's true, Eriador IS gay!

lol jk though, i'm pretty amazed that this character managed to keep it up for so damn long. I wonder how he is IRL if he has to pretend to be a girl like 8-10 hours a day, pretty feminine I suppose. What's really strange is i've observed some games of zia playing 2v2's and such, and like testie said, he really plays like a SHE (no offence to girls though ;O). Perhaps his feminine playstyle came with that he had to act feminine 10 hours a day ;O anyways, a big lol to this. And im glad I never got to know this "character" Cause I figured that most of the people who actually cared a lot for "her" feels pretty stupid now ;O

It actually isn't.

lempiä is like making love. te is you, but in plural, not in singular. And the conjugation sucks.
It takes a fool to remain sane.

I think it's pretty clear that my little TLnet bot stunt now pales so, so much in comparison ^_^

Wow.

this thread has developed into being the BEST thread on TL.net EVER!
it's even better than the hovz/nextel thread while that was going on. And that was pure gold.

This is really shocking. I have never really spoken to zia or anything but I have known of "her" for a very long time and I have always thought "she" was real..

when people started to doubt zia and what she claimed in her last thread, I thought what a bunch of idiots they must be not believing her (TreK etc..) but now I realize I (and the others who believed her) were the "idiots".

Anyhow the one I feel most sorry for is Zia, or should I say, the person behind the character "Zia". To spend so much time on such a thing... it's just sick. I don't even know what to call it, it's beyond me. The guy probably has no friends and is probably living a tough life.. oh well

I'd like to read a "statement" from Zia, maybe even introducing his "real" him ;p

Some country where the jeans are pretty bad quality :\

This story still reaks of untruth though, people can't be this stupid.
