Popcorn

Yes, I am saying goodbye to Xeno Gamers. Basically I have a lot going on right now personally, nothing bad, I just have a job coming up in early February in Orlando that I still haven't wrapped my head around, and I have a lot more planning and packing to do for this job and that's taking up a lot of my time. I was already planning on leaving Xeno Gamers in January because of this reason. I'm going to be in Orlando for at least 6 months, and while I will have internet access, I won't be able to go on TS or play any steam games at all. Alongside this, recently I've not been playing on the xG servers or going on Teamspeak, so that's another reason I'm deciding to leave early. You might still see me on Jailbreak or the Pokemon trade server a few times before I go, but it won't be as often as I used to. This isn't to say that I haven't had a good time here, I've made many good friends and I've had a bunch of good times with you guys, so thank you for that! I'm not going to do a massive tagging spree because I know that I'll end up forgetting someone accidentally and I don't want any hurt feelings...So I will just say thank you to everyone whose been kind to me. You peeps know who you are. :p Keep in mind that my brother, who goes by Eddie, and I currently share our steam account. However, since he'll still be here when I'm away he'll be the one on that account 100% of the time. But! I do have a personal chat-only account that I would be happy to add friends to, that way I can still chat with you guys via steam. Just chat with me when I'm on steam, or send me a message on here and I'll be happy to add you. Sooo without further ado....adieu, xG! :cool:

Goodbye Snipes, I hope that things can get better for you in the future. You always made me laugh and were fun to be around, I'll miss you. :c Good luck with everything!

+1 Fwutters is very active on the servers and, from what I've seen, is nothing but kind to others, including newer players. Very mature and fun to hang around with. Good luck, Fwutters! A:8 M:9

Alright, I'm going to weigh in on this thread because my name has come up a few times. (( TL;DR will be at the bottom cause this is going to get kinda long and I know people are going to be like "Popcorn y being so srs it's just da internet lel". )) Alright, I have no real problems with READING these fanfics, as raunchy and silly as they might be, but it needs to be understood that not everyone here is comfortable with being in these types of "sexual" stories. It's not about being prudish or not having a sense of humor, it's that everyone has a different sense of humor , and we all need to respect each other regarding that. Some people are very uncomfortable being in stories like these, and if they don't want to be in them, DON'T put them into the story. This is not about "this is the internet and anything goes lol", this is about the fact that we are a community, and silliness is perfectly fine as long as people are having fun, but it's evident that some people don't find this funny when they are involved in one of these stories, and it's not cool if they're ignored and made to feel uncomfortable. [Just for the record, NO, I don't wish to be put in any of these stories. Thank you in advance.] Okay this is going to seem really whiteknighty or whatever but Kypari and Tekage are a prime example of people who are uncomfortable with this and don't want to be featured in these stories, but people are STILL putting them in stories/saying they will make fanfics with them in it. Guys, they are very obviously uncomfortable with it, so just respect that and don't put them in the story. They have both stated several times in the forums that they are very uncomfortable with these types of things, and laughing at them for not finding things like this "humorous" like many others do isn't fair to them at all. Joking or not, keep it up and you're just going to drive people away. TL;DR: These stories are fine and lots of people find them funny, but don't write in people who have said they don't wish to be in these stories. Not everyone is comfortable with this sort of thing and we need to be mature and respect that. (and again, no, I don't want to be in these, but thanks anyway budda bless ya)

Nasty Monkey Expander....I don't know how to feel about this....

We hadn't spoken much, but he was always decent to me. I don't really know what caused him to leave but eh, it's all said and done. Bye Muzzle. :(

Toss up between Sci-Fi/Fantasy and Horror, I don't think I can choose between them. :(

Congratulations to everyone promoted!! So happy for you guys! :X3: >3

Alright, I'm going to change my +1 to no vote for now. Before I say anything else, let this be known to both parties that I am not trying to target either of you personally. I'm not to going change what I said regarding Kitty, but now that I've looked more into the issue between her and Moosty, I see the issues regarding Moosty's side as well. Moosty DID instigate the argument within the thread (as provided by Forest ^), when there was no reason, or context, to do so. I am not saying that the way Kitty responded was fine at all, but Moosty did instigate the whole derailment with his comments about Kitty. I don't want to come off as rude, I just want to be honest. There is evidence that both parties are at fault here, and I hope that this can get sorted out so everyone involved can move on from this.

Yeah, I'm going to have to +1 this as well. That thread tonight was an absolute train wreck. I've seen the threads Kitty has posted concerning her being cyberbullied in the past, and I can certainly sympathize with that, but turning around and becoming the bully yourself, especially after people have apologized to you and have attempted to move on with their lives, isn't right at all. I know that Kitty seemingly decided to leave xG and even wrote that she would not be affiliating herself with the clan anymore. While I wouldn't see any issue with her sticking around to chat to people, it's evident that she seems to constantly bring up how bad a game TF2 is, as well as instigate fights with other members. Kitty, you need to be the better person here, don't stoop down to becoming a bully yourself. Bringing someone's social class into a thread just to make fun of them and taunting them because they apparently are less wealthy then you is immature to the utmost degree. I mean, telling someone they should be begging for food at a homeless shelter, really? Especially when you are fully aware that the person has had/currently has financial issues? Really? There is a line between joking and knowing you've gone too far. You KNOW that you went too far and still decided to keep on going, and that's not right. Honestly, whatever happens I hope that you are able to see the issues going on here, Kitty. I don't wish anything bad on you, but you need to understand that your current behavior needs to stop.

I honestly don't think that banning keybind usage should become an actual rule...I've spent a lot of time on Jailbreak#1 (including many months before I got into xG), as well as some time on the trade, unusual, etc. servers and I've seen that when the mods or admins are on said servers they pretty much always nip the issue in the bud quickly. They always warn the individual first, mute/gag them if they ignore the warning and continue spamming, and then, if really necessary, kick them from the server. I agree that binds such as lenny faces can get annoying to look at when they're being used extensively, but the staff seems to do a pretty darn good job of keeping it under control...I don't see it as a big issue at all. :/

Muzzle....why do this to me....

Dangit, I showed up really late to this...I love Konata. ;_; (But noice job, Gumbo (y))

+1 Rin!!! :D Rin seems to be a very nice, easy going person. I've never seen them try to cause trouble in any way, and they seem to be very mature. Good luck, Rin! (and thank you for tagging me here, Bach!) A: 9/10 M:9/10

+1 Thunder has been nothing but kind to me since the first day I met him. He's very mature for his age, and likes others have stated, is very active on the servers. Awesome guy! :) A: 7/10 M: 9/10

+1 I'm all for it! (y)
