    Default A Clarification: Sparkling Pwnies

    Sparkling Pwnies is not a dead guild...
    ...It is a less active guild in a dying/dead game.

    Big difference.

    In the last 6 months of inactivity, most of us have moved on to other games. I personally have played about 7 games since SL went dormant. Enjoying myself.
    When SL gets an actual update.. trust me, Pwnies will flood back, if the content warrants it.

    The reason I bring this up is simple:
    The remaining pwnies who have stuck with SL, daily, have to deal with badgering insults, disrespect, and hate on a level that this game just doesn't warrant dealing with. It is a testament to the game desperately needing an update bad when whole guilds function only to troll leaders, poach members, and slander the name of a guild that only wanted to have fun and poke at those who took things too seriously. I grow weary of people logging onto our forums to say they are quitting SL due to the constant hate they receive.

    Emails and logs/screencaps of this over the last few months fails to receive any action from the powers that should be policing this. Female members get horribly misogynistic insults from randoms. I think we have a sole female player left. Guilds make fake accounts and pose as members interesting in joining pwnies to get access to site. I just don't get it. Back in beta people were waaaay more friendly.

    To conclude:
    If your mothers were behind you watching what you said, how you acted, and the gears you attempt to turn to undermine other's fun, they would be ashamed.
    Kindly grow up people. This is a game... an escape from real world drama and problems.

    Game needs an update. Idle hands are the devil's tool. People with nothing to do resort to filling the emptiness with self serving fun.
    Sure is getting Xbox Live in SL these days.

    I R sad.
    woof...

    The online community is an ugly place full of trolls.
    Humans are a weird animal. Capable of extreme beauty and crazy nonsense.
    In an anonymous environment: the worst comes out.
    To be expected I guess.

    Yes SL is in need of a HUGE Content update. I know the best solution is not to mute(what a waste of time huh) and I have a twink(fm) that gets abused pretty badly a couple of times.

    SL is, and has been neglected for months without any real updates(events are not countered).
    The last thing SL players need is a dev who hardly comments and Interact with players on the forums(no offense Gibber).


    Nevertheless, I believe sts is trying their best to deal with reports and getting the programmers and designers to come up with new content for SL.

    With time, SL may be restored once again to what it was like before.
    Full of players at B* and with new stuff to do in-game.


    P.s.. Sparkling pwnies is an awesome Guild although some goons make fun of the name.
    Just ignore and mute.
    You guys have achieved alot in-game and also helped the community in many ways.

    Pwnies 4evr!

    Cheers

    Ah thank you for putting down words I wasn't sure how to say. Be friendly people, I miss the Pwnies.

    This isn't the only guild experiencing this community repellant and it's just not good for us or STS...

    Let me explain the lateness of signatures with a page of my homework.

    Test pretty much hit the nail.
    I personally will just ignore players with attitudes like that towards the Pwnies. And believe me its not something to take lightly.
    When new stuff comes we will once again be at it loud and crazy just hang tight its almost here.

    I think people tend to forget that there are real people, and more specifically, real kids behind these animated avatars, and that is the tragedy of online gaming.

    Tsk tsk. I really can't add more onto what was already stated here, but I 100% agree with all previous posts. Just remember, if they just bully you guys, they themselves have serious issues and have to take it out on a game. SMH.

    Yeah kinda sux that they got off Leaderboards.However I don't really like joining guilds from when they are already on Leaderboards.I like being with a guild from the beginning to the end.Then you feel like you're really special.

    Every L41 has been called a noob at L41 at least twice.

    But the hate on the Pwnies is frequently due to the name having judged-book-cover syndrome x_X

    If there's one thing My Little Pony taught me actually, it was the ultimate lesson in 'never judge a book by it's cover'...
