Title: Being idle on WNET?
Post by: TheKomodo on December 17, 2018, 10:03 AM
Just curious what people honestly think about this.

I think it's ok as long as people set their status as "Away" with corresponding message in snoopers, otherwise it does feel like talking to ghosts, or to yourself.  :-[

If there was no bots and idle ppl, WormNET would count whole 2 members in "currently online list".. 
Just imagine that demotivating picture and think about it ;)

It sucks when everyone is afk, but I like to see those names anyway. Gives me false impression of an active game.

Long live snoopers.

We all should have multiple snoopers open to make the game look more active XD

snoopers were made to let ppl chat and host even if they are not at worms or they are in game,  NOT to show ppl "hey I am cool I am on wormnet now, PM me comon"  - but then - silent , ppl cant use snoopers, it should be banned it only piss other ppl,  1 on 10 answer on snooper, no sense at all, they are like cybershadow.  Your idea is not to make game more active but to make more shitty

I can see why people sit on IRC channels like #Worms even though they aren't there, mainly, it's not a place where people meet or look for others to play games, it's interesting to come back and read what everyone has been talking about, aslo, if I remember correctly, you can see the entire conversation from the moment you joined not just a certain amount back like Snooper etc.

Imagine if everything in real life worked the same way, we all just had a life size cut out of ourselves placed at every place we visit, the mall, the cafe, our jobs, school, sport venues etc, and it's only purpose is to show that we exist, it's just sad and disappointing lol, it's a bit cocky and desperate tbh.

I wish WNET would remove people who have been inactive for like 30 minutes, would be nice to join AG and know that everybody there, is actually there actively, or at least at their computer and would respond or tell you they are busy, sucks when you see a friend and get a little excited to play a game, but 90% of the time you message them you get no reply.

What makes it even worse, you sometimes see them randomly host games, so they didn't even bother to check/respond to messages anyway, so what is the point even being there AFK?

Or the worst, people join the channel and go AFK immediately.

If you ask me it's just rude, lazy, a bad habit or whatever lol, but we just live with it, these people will never change their ways  :D ;D ::)

And for people that ignore you because they don't want to talk to you, they should just man up and tell you they don't like you and don't wanna speak to you, stop being ignorant pussies.

I hate it. I loved the time prior to snooper. People you see in #AG are people you can play with if you whisper them or ask. I have used a snooper in the past but stopped using it shortly after again because most of the time I was whispered by people that usually expect me to be there and thus I decided to only have my "real" name there when I am actually there and ready to play.

Post by: Kradie on December 17, 2018, 04:43 PM
My sweet cookies, I only thought the idea of multiple signed in snoopers from everyone would be kind of funny to see in a full channel.  The only purpose for me to use a snooper is to be summoned by foes and friends for leagues and games (Lag). Not everyone that has a official mainstream communication platform like skype or discord to convey messages through. So snoopers can come in handy for this very purpose for them.
I also agree it is rude and disrespectful of many that remains idle on snooper without giving a beep of life to the ones that talks to them. It can be the Worms Armageddon Elite Syndrome (WAES), where players will only communicate with respected intellects and shun the lesser ones even if they ask for games. Although this is a only pure speculation. I know there people on this forum that do not have it in their heart to desire new friendship on Worms.

Yes, I thought this was the purpose of snooper, and ok in my eyes to have it running while you are at your computer but perhaps doing other stuff like watching films, playing another game, waiting on your friends or whatever to login and message you, then you can have a game.

But people these days just leave it running even when they aren't at their computer, probably not even in their house.

I just think it's ridiculous for AG to be full of non-interactive skeletons.

You are definitely correct there, these cowards will never admit it, but lots of people who ignore messages, it's the same in real life too, i'd rather someone just be honest and say "f**k off, I don't wanna talk to you" cuz at least you won't bother wasting your time in future.
Title: Re: Being idle on WNET?
Post by: Sensei on December 17, 2018, 08:14 PM
Hahaha calling ppl cowards cause they're afk or don't wanna msg back. My god.. These posts getting better and better, Komo. I'm enjoying. Like you're on rampage last few weeks. 

Tomi, just add automatic away status when someone doesn't appear in snooper for 10-20 mins. I know there's manual button, but hardly anyone can be bothered, or even remember, to press it when they're out. Apparently some ppl find that..offensive and toxic!? Lol.

Post by: TheKomodo on December 17, 2018, 08:53 PM
Sensei, really, you should try paying close attention to the words I use and how I use them.

I did not say someone is a coward just because they don't reply to you.

I said they are cowards if they don't want to talk to you, this means they actually see the message and just don't bother responding, if you don't like someone, or are busy doing something, just tell them you are busy or to stop messaging you, it's a very simple concept.

A simple "I'm busy" or "I don't want to talk to you", would suffice.

But this is the world we live in today, people ignore you unless they want something from you, people take but they don't give, they forget good things you done, but remember the bad things.

Edit - Judging by the poll results so far, I don't think I am the only person who feels this way.

Everyone is entitled to exercise their opinion. If one do not agrees to another person's opinion, then there's no drama, only if that that person wants it to be. We do not necessary know what is happening on other side with that person, we can only assume, and that itself can cause the illusion of drama.

Yeah you are one of them James, just rude tbh.
I was kidding, I respond to everyone’s messages if around, I have a lot going on in my life, I can’t be online 24/7 anymore.  I could tell you about work obligations and having a new relationship but it really isn’t important.  What is important is that my being on snooper isn’t infringing upon anyone, and if it is, I would support this sect of people taking care of their own emotional needs instead of projecting their inferiority on others.

I can’t even believe this is a topic tbh, this is a nonstarter of an issue.  It’s more suited for a therapist than those idling in ag.

You are welcome :D

If people don't respond you, maybe
a, they are away
b, waiting there for someone else
c, you should change the way you talk to people, so they won't ignore you
d, they never turn off the computer causing our planet to die, f@#! america, you kill us too!

Imagine a world run by Komo. An efficient and green powered world; with no corrupt game developers; with possible cheaters punished to dissapear from the soil of the earth; a world with proper English language enforcement to avoid any misunderstanding from the teachings of our grand leader; no more starving and homeless cats, dogs, ants or even worms.
 A world with joy, passion and compasion.
What a wonderful world...

Isn't deleting written word even more rude than not answering?
Isn't this whole thread existence based on trying to stop ppl making fools out of others by letting them talk to walls?
I'm looking forward to your answer on this matter, TheKomodo. Thank you in advance.

Kind regards.

Why not? I see no one... I sit basically in a dark chilly room alone, leaning against a solid cold wall with a laptop next to me... Laptop is old, and It has been giving me some issues for a while now, particularly with bsod. I also have a beef knife, and a couples of apples in a plastic bag. I guess I could do a lot of things with the things I have, if my laptop decides to die. Like everything else in my life, I don't recall my parents, they are like shadows haunting me in my dreams, I wake up crying, and my brain deludes me into believing I am getting tossed around and yelled at.
Though I do have a fond memory of this cable that I slept next to at a younger age on the floor, it was the battery cable to a laptop that one of my guardians owned. They also had one cat ''Limbo'', and he never loved me. He often scratched me, and I got in trouble because my guardians thought I was hurting him. But really... All I wanted was to cuddle with this cable... My stepfather always kicked me because I got too entangled in it. I guess that was the closest to a hug I ever got.
My stepmother always got so mad, with her infuriating look of thousand demons holding a kitchen beef knife, she came towards me, and I honestly thought my time was up. In reality, she cut the cable to free me from my own entanglement. Once I was freed, she smothered me with the cable until I passed out. As I regained consciousness, I saw dark blurry shadows fighting. I guess my stepfather wasn't all that happy with how her spouse cut his cable.
They wanted to buy a new battery cable, but instead they decided to invest on alcohol, because they only got along this way. Stepfather fixed the cable, and life went on until Limbo died due to starvation... I don't think they noticed all that much, stepmother seemed more happier, she bought more alcohol and they were relishing in intoxication, while I was a prisoner of their vanity.
All that ended when my stepfather died of a stroke. His spouse dragged his body to the freezer, and placed him in there. He was the main supply of food while she was getting worse everyday until she never woke up again.
I was left alone in tears, abolished by the worst of humanity. I decided to move on, and I gathered comforting remains, beef knife, cable, laptop and apples that sometimes were dropped on the floor by accident.
I placed the stuff I gathered in a plastic bag and moved on. I found a run down abandoned warehouse, it had weak wifi signal from a kebab shop a few blocks away. I was happy with that, until now, my laptop just died.

I voted "no."

I have always said how annoying I find snoopers and have never used snooper programs (aside from to test them out) because I hate seeing all of the AFK idlers. I'd rather see two people who are ACTUALLY on WormNET and presumably wanting to play than see 30 names in the list, fully knowing that it's false.
