Yeah, probably been done before...When you get back on the forum, and you've got messages, what do you think?

See, I just got back on, and had three messages, all quotes. I immediately thought "Oooh shit."

Aaand the quotes were one jokey response, one agreeing, and one politely pointing out a hole in my view.

I just always expect to have somehow sparked a shitstorm, not really sure why.

I wonder how many people love me, because there's no way little ol' me could cause much controversy, right? =D

inb4 everyone quotes the OP to make him feel like the thread describes.

Funny enough...it depends on my mood.

If I'm currently getting my ass kicked in Call of Duty or something, I assume it's some asshole who has the audacity to disagree with me! The nerve! Oh wait, they agreed with me? For Christ sake, you don't need to quote me every God damn time you agree with me! FUCK!!!!

If I'm currently in a good mood (or at least not in a bad mood), I will usually be happy to see what it is (good or not; I enjoy debate or I will enjoy getting the ego boost respectively).

Surely you get lots of quotes arguing against your love of The Scorpion King 3? I can't imagine it's shared by a lot of people.

Personally, when I see I have notifications, I think 'Oooooh! Someone noticed I exist!'. It's not as pathetic as it sounds, I swear.

OK, you've done it now!


Other than that - meh, depends on what I've been posting recently.

A far greater number than you might think, actually.

Which is just awesome.

Shit. Didn't think of that. Really should have, seriously, I must be slipping in my old age.

If I got three messages, my responses would generally be "What is this fucking moron saying", "What is this fucking moron saying", and "What is this fucking moron saying". And I'd say it twice for quoted posts in R&P.

I enjoy my group notifications though, it's way less hostile than replies to my comments.

It depends on what i've posted recently. If I had recently posted something about say... How much I loathe the Persona 3 Main Character then I would be expecting the next quote to be some guy demanding an explaination. I still don't understand how people don't notice how much of a **** he is, regardless of how much of a "blank slate" he's meant to be. Remember how Yahtzee decribed Mike Thorton in his AP review? Exactly like that.

I did recently create an advice thread so that was nice. Still can barely hold my own in BlazBlue but thanks for the help. I was never going MLG anyway XD

I can actually use the Rapid Cancel at all times now. The guard break/barrier guard takes some work since I can't keep an eye on my Guard Primer gauge.

Sometimes the weirdest stuff gets repeatedly quoted. I got like 5 quotes because I posted the Angel Beats opening in a relevant thread, relevant to me anyway. I can twist anything to make it seem on topic if I try hard enough.

Let's try it again!

Woah. You actually go into the R&P sections? Post in them no less?! Can't tell whether you're terribly brave or hopelessly foolish.

I wandered in there once... A long time ago. Could not hit the back button fast enough >.<

I get forum anxiety. Anytime I see I've been quoted I get happy but I expect a shitstorm yet I know I have nothing to worry about. I'm just a silly bunny. I'm also extremely shy.

If it's a moderate amount of them I usually feel good, but if there are a bunch I usually sigh heavily and skim over them. I am fucking lazy.

I love that anime, so I'm going to quote you because I love it and I wan't to ask you if you know any other anime like it.
I also disagree with your opinion on the Persona 3 main character, but I think we've argued about that before. I have to say, I do like Yu Narukami a bit more (Only 20 hours into P4 though).

OT: Its almost always stuff from the MLP usergroup, which is nice because otherwise I would almost certainly have missed the Premiere. Still, I don't quite see why they have to post a message every time someone has a birthday.

Sometimes... I've run into some very unpleasant people on here who will freak out over the smallest things and won't back down from arguing.

Even if you're joking, people can take it too seriously and it's hilarious. Usually the same people. I try take not of their username so if I see they've quoted me, I'll ignore it.

I don't get anxious with any new messages unless I know for a fact that the past comments I've posted may had provoke others which is rarely for me to happen. WEll ok it's a suprise what people had quote me for.

only after I'm in contention with a moderator and I'm being aggressive. Not on this board, but another one I frequent has fucking shitty mods.
