my prelims will be commencing tmr .
sian 1/2 .
as i've repeated countless times before , i think i'm gonna flunk all the papers , including gp .
but i'll just give my best shot regardless of the result .
anyways , mapling today was at parking lot .
but only party trained for an hour or so .
there was this female ranger (level 70) that didn't get too pleased after she got kicked from our party .
[at this point i've also told the rest i got to go]
the party leader , a hermit (whose IGN i shan't reveal) tried to explain that her slot was only temporary .
but the way he put his explanation across apparently pissed the ranger off .
and she started saying things like "you look down on low lvl" .
following that the two of them played KS for two minutes .
the ranger eventually left saying "bye loser :D" .
you may say i'm a busybody , but i went to private msg the ranger afterwards , telling her that my telling the rest i got to go was just an excuse .
in actual fact , i didn't get too pleased with the way the hermit handled the situation , which was like clearly discrimination against the bowman classes ?
she appeared confused by what i said initially , after which she began to lament to me about how difficult it was for rangers her level to continue to have the motivation to train , since most people tend not to party with rangers/snipers .
so i told her not to give up so easily , etc etc .
and then she told me the hermit guy private messaged her , telling her to watch out .
i was like -__- , it's no wonder hermits in general leave a negative impression on the rest nowadays .
well , i suppose the maple world isn't a bed of roses .
and the ranger would have learnt that reality the hard way from this incident .
rangers need encouragement just like any other class does , and not discrimination .
sadly , the stereotypes against them (lack of party skills etc) will probably be here to stay .
anyway , the screenies below covered the last part of the conversation .
eventually we became buddies .
that's just my way to keep a look out for potential cyber bullies that resort to means like ks/threatening/mass defaming and lend assistance where necessary .
but not to exacerbate the situation of course .
welcome xAccuratex to my buddylist . (:
okay .
i'm off for the day .
got to sleep early and catch enough rest before the exams start . >.<
those memories. 22:00
