Ice Pick, this thread is a start, and I can respect that you're trying.
Being 'popular' as you call it is nothing you want, trust me. You are in fact very popular though as of now, but not in a way you might realize. For you are very well known, and talked about all the time. But of course, popular isn't all it's cracked up to be. Popular is just being known for something. It's a much better feeling to have accomplished what you're known for by yourself than to capitalize off of the success of others though.
If you want people to stop hating you, (for some it will be impossible) then first take some steps in the right direction. Have some 'oldbies' comb your playerworld for copied material, or horrible material, and delete it right away. And don't say there's nothing on there that's copied, because I know there is, and I know you must have known about at least some of it.
Next, you need to start acting more intelligent. That's the easiest way to get 'popular' in this game, as intelligent people are usually far more outspoken, and their responses are made with some forethought. Popular isn't hard to achieve around here, you just need to know how to do it.
One thing that might help you, after cleaning up your playerworld, is to admit that you can't script (don't yell at me for that, but by my standards, you can't script) and that you copy other peoples' work and claim it as your own. If you can't do that, then you'll never earn much respect around here, as phonies are not tolerated by many people at all. Try learning to script after you have admitted that. It's not too hard, and there's one key to learning it: don't ask questions. When you ask questions your brain automatically realizes that it's easier getting someone else to tell you the answer than it is to figure it out on your own. While that may get you through life in some way, it won't get you very far around here, because any good scripts you'd copy can be recognized by us good scripters rather easily. Even if you change large portions of the code it's not altogether impossible to note something similar to the old version of the script.
Basically, tell the truth, do things on your own, and be smart, and you'll get further in this community than you could doing anything else. |
