Status report from the field teams? Same for the rescue teams. We have people out in both locations and from where I'm sitting you guys are moving pretty fast. The layer itself isn't at a risk of collapsing just yet, but I don't really want to take a bunch of chances. Also my office has since been taken over by Whistler's Mother and I can't get her to leave, so it looks like I'm temporarily moving. Again. Anybody else having this problem? Report to me with anything you need. The map on my system's filling out as much as it can, but I feel like I'm missing pieces. Keep each other posted. Oh, and heads up? Looks like tech had one more batch of testers they were going to bring in, so...if you see anybody new? Try and get them up to speed.

I was answering your question.

[sleepingknight]

Yeah, and then you told me you shouldn't have to explain things to me

[godcards]

If you were friends with someone previously, how am I supposed to tell you how to be friends with them again? That's stupid.

[sleepingknight]

There's probably general stuff like "tell them everything right away, don't just sit on it!" or "don't make it weird just because you knew each other in the past!" or stuff like that

I figured there would be others who experienced the same thing, so I thought it would be good to get advice from them!

[godcards]

Depends on what the other person knows, and if they WANT to know... If you're so desperate, just be friends with them like normal so you can read the situation. There isn't a single answer. It took months for either me or the person I knew to say anything to each other, and we've known each other for years in this life.

[sleepingknight]

Oh!!

See, that's good advice!!

[godcards]

It is practically the same thing I said earlier when you called me antagonizing.

[sleepingknight]

All you talked about was threatening people or coercing them

"They might not want to know" is good to think about, though

[godcards]

We can both agree that I still answered your question. So I will save this conversation to use later if you think I don't give good advice in the future.

:)

[sleepingknight]

Just because you gave good advice one time doesn't mean you're exempt from criticism in the future!

[godcards]

YES I AM

[sleepingknight]

Denied!

Sorry friend, but you have to keep earning your title of good advice giver over and over and over again or you lose it.

[godcards]

I give advice all the time. It's not my fault if others choose to ignore it.

[sleepingknight]

Is your usual advice more like the threatening one, or are you nicer about those?

[godcards]

It depends.

[sleepingknight]

That's ominous...

[godcards]

:)

[sleepingknight]

Do you just like giving troll advice?

[godcards]

It depends.

[ yeah he's giggling on the other end here ]

[sleepingknight]

Please get off the internet and make some friends

There's better hobbies out there!

[godcards]

Friends leave. Friends are disappointing. Self-sufficiency is much more desirable! You don't even know how to make friends with people you were supposedly friends with, though... I doubt you can understand where I'm coming from.

[sleepingknight]

[...]

Did someone ditch you in the past?

[godcards]

Everyone has at some point.

[sleepingknight]

If you have crappy family and friends, I guess

It's not always like that, though. Especially if you get to know people better than just trolling them online

[godcards]

Why would I bother with such things when it's been repeatedly proven that it isn't worth it? I'm not going to waste my time trying to win the approval of someone who is just going to up and leave again.
