After reading the response, I decided to delete this thread. Sorry... I will remove it.

Removing thread. Pls delete.

Removing thread. Please delete.

Some people are less tolerable then others, I Fuck around on my FC all the time lol

While it does suck i understand the GM 's decision.

Good luck to you in the future!

Sorry but... im gonna be honest: this isnt a case of bullying.
You brought sexuality into a videogame... big mistake.
Be it straight or gay, it should be kept out.
Same goes for politics.

Making a thread just makes things worse, it looks like you are just begging for some drama.

Seems to me like it was your fault for going over the line that people in your FC were comfortable with. Doesn't matter if they voiced their opinion or not, you should have known when to stop and hold back.
To be honest I agree with the leader's decision.

Also "The Gay Crystal Alliance"? Really? I have nothing against gay people but come on, that was way uncalled for, even if it was a joke.

Please don't air your dirty laundry out here. This isn't bullying, this immaturity. And you further show it by posting it in here.

I'm not really sure how this would be considered bullying, to be honest. The FC had rules, you broke them, you were removed. It clearly wasn't personal nor was it based on your in-game ability like the post you referred to.

I'm not saying a little warning might not have been nice, but as "Steph" said, she's not one for second chances, and that's her call.

You may have been prematurely and unjustly ejected from the guild.. (The "no second chances" means there were multiple times you went overboard, but they were just too afraid to tell you until it got to be too much) I don't think it's bullying.

I don't see the issue. Cliques in FCs are VERY bad. I've been in multiple Guilds were only a select group of people actually did anything together and the rest were just throwaways. If anything, you deserved to get kicked for promoting that attitude.

The first reason Steph gave you is far more than enough grounds, imo, to have you kicked - second reason notwithstanding.

This isn't bullying.

"Bullying" it's the new "Racism"

You weren't bullied. You violated other players' FC rules and decided to bring sexuality into the game. They simply enforced those rules.


Solution: Make your own gay-centric free company that allows members to hit on each other if that's what you really want.

Sounds more like you weren't as funny as you thought you were.

Don't flirt with people in game that you don't know in real life. Don't flirt with people in voice chat period. Don't assume anyone that has not explicitly expressed interest in you is interested in you. People don't play hard to get, if someone is interested in you they pretty much know it from within 5 minutes of meeting you and won't be shy about returning advances. If they're not returning them then they're trying to figure out a way to avoid you or turn you down nicely.

I've seen issues with this time and time again on MMOs and 99% of the time it's one person not taking a hint and making another person uncomfortable but not wanting to be mean. This leads to the person being made uncomfortable either leaving or getting an officer involved and someone being removed. I had to stop inviting a friend of mine to play games with us because he immediately turned into Rico Suave as soon as a female voice hit voice chat. I've had issues with girls that would make inappropriate advances and/or comments to the guys in voice chat after they finally posted a picture of themselves on a post.

Regardless, I don't care if you're a guy, a girl, straight, gay, bi, or a card carrying furry, leave the date line game at home. You're just making everyone else uncomfortable.

You need to understand that this game (GAME) has people of all ages, races, sexes, and beliefs that play. This FC Leader is trying to simple enjoy the game in a group (the FC) and allow these people of all types to come together. I think you crossed the line--kidding or not--when you're trying to force your beliefs onto someone else when you're telling someone else that they should "try being gay". Again, children may be playing this game and by speaking that way in an open chat, well, it's unexceptionable unless you clearly mark your FC as mature/age appropriate only. Also, it's a very uncomfortable thing when someone attempts to push their beliefs onto you. Telling someone they should try the new BurgerKing Satisfries is one thing, but telling them they should attempt to "be gay" is too far.

You were not bullied, so stop. If anything you were more of a bully with your pushy attitude. I think you just need to 1) stop posting this on the forums (delete it) as if you were some kind of victim, and 2) find a FC that better meets your needs of being openly gay on the internet. And possibly 3) create your own FC is one doesn't exist to fit your need(s).
