I can't believe that I am the one saying this but it Seems like there is a few certain groups here that have made it their mission to gang up on others to the point of OBSESSION! Because either they A. Did something you didn't approve of morally or B. Didn't get the rate you thought you deserved or C. Someone stole your E-boyfriend or D. God forbid they be on the "Top" list (I'm not singling out anyone on that list btw).
From nasty messages, Kismets, Member page dedications, whole profile dedications, rates and blocks. He said she said mumbo jumbo. It's EVERY FUCKING DAY! Shut...the...fuck....up already. Act like some damned adults. Isn't there something more important in your life you can spend all that energy on?
So you think what they did was horrible, so you didn't get that 10, oh boo hoo you don't have enough friends to get you on that list, oh lordy they were mean to me 4 years ago...STOP. I'm soooo over it and you should be too. It's not worth it. Really. It's not.
I don't want to be an angry person anymore. Can't we just all get along? Oh wait, we are still in High School aren't we...for fucks sakes...There will always be folks we don't really care for but do we need to go out of our way to be a total dick to them? Is that the only pleasure you get from this site? If so then that is really sad and pathetic..
You know what, something I've always known but has really come home to me these last few weeks here is that I really am blessed with having some of the most incredible and wise people to call my friends. They are always there for me when I really need them and to give me a good shake when I need that too ;) It helps to get someones perspective from outside of the "box" heh.
And THAT is why I come here and will keep coming back regardless of anything else. Thanks for reminding me of that oh ye negative givers :P
Is it just me or am I seeing broken links all over the site lately? On avatars, profiles and Coven pages...
COMMENTS
Broken or Dead Links on a Vampire site?
I just noticed something while I was in a SciFi group. If you click on someone's honor in a forum this will show up:
Seriously? Do you people not know that ThePinja is my boyfriend, NOT ME. I have never hidden what my other profiles are, it says right on them that they are mine. RoyRevant (learn how to spell btw ignoramus), wasn't my profile either.
If I want to rate you low I will do it on Pandora or any of my profiles I am on at the time as is my right. I have written freely in my Journal that I have handed out 2's and 3's some days, you get what you have put into your profile and I will rate you as I see fit.
Don't like it? Well I guess you are such a crybaby that you have to dishonor me over it and that's just fine, I don't care and if you think I do you are sadly mistaken. This entry is only to state what anyone with half a fucking brain knows and that is that ThePinja account does not belong to me.
DumbFucks.
COMMENTS
If Pinja was your alt account... that'd make those sexy-time entries a little weird... ;P
LOL! Sings *dancing with myself uh oh...*
*hehe* I am sure the rest of the sheep will follow suit. As they can never do anything on their own.
I just read this in one of my Covens threads, LOL! I have the best members/friends ever I tell ya, thanks for the laugh K..
"I'll get you my pretty cm and your Pinja too lol"

I thought you would like that. Can I have some frosting now ?
Sowwy, that's all Maries :P
I miss the CCD fun. *pouts* Oh wells I still has my friends from CCD!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
Loves you too Kris :D
You know what, I think I can safely say this, no, I KNOW I can say this and know it to be the truth. I DON'T LIE. I am maybe even TOO blunt and too honest if that's possible. And it's probably bruised somebody's wee little ego. Awwww......well here is a news bulletin for ya...
I DON'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK!
I have plenty of friends here. Albeit there are a few I might of bumped heads with but we are all being adults about it I'd like to think and carry on with our lives here and otherwise. Not a big deal. Not blocks, no hate messages. I also know that those few individuals would never cower behind anonymity but would talk to me if they had issues.
I'm not going to sit here and waste my time trying to figure out what your problem is, I've probably wasted plenty just writing this. I have one message for you:
LIFE IS TOO SHORT, GET THE FUCK OVER IT.
COMMENTS
I'd like to bump heads with you... ;)
Wait-waiiiiiiiiit...
You have plenty of people who love you on here, and they make up for the obsessed.
I hope.
Yep, and those people are pretty damned awesome ;)
Well you know I always ♥ you no matter what!!!!
Oh images, how could you!???!

Dirty birds, all of you :P
LOL you crosses the line with the salad dressing.
Ewwwwww....
lol
Can I lick your feet? *grinz*
There are many a day when I think it might be best if I weren't on the Top list, while I appreciate the wonderful Honor bestowed upon me by friends and even strangers, and it truly does mean a lot to me, I would like to avoid the drama that comes with it.
You and your little minions need to just "shoo!"....You are like that dog shit that I keep stepping in and can't quite get the stink off my shoe.
We have been friendly then not so friendly and the same goes for the others. Uggh. Enough already. I just want to move on. Sometimes you just have to agree to disagree.
COMMENTS
It's lucky to step in shit sometimes ;-)
Ha! Not so sure about that, ewwwww :P
I couldn't agree more. I was talking about this yesterday with a friend about my main that's up there. It's nice to know so many care about you, but all the negative outweighs that good feeling you get. And those nasty comments they leave.. It's just not worth it.
*hugs*
Just curious as to how many of you feel surprised at who has honored you or perhaps who hasn't honored you? Do you feel that it clearly defines friendships?
I am wondering what the masses think....?
COMMENTS
You already know what I think. It defines nothing except who knows how to read and use a keyboard.
I would certainly hope it does not define friendships for people. If it does, people I have known for years, and spent time with even offline would be assuming I don't really like them. I've been giving "Vampire Rave Honor" to people who are a part of my volunteer work here, or a part of me getting here- it doesn't mean other friends of mine aren't honorable. As for me deciding to give all my next Honor today to a retired Marine- that's very personal, and any person who has a beef with that can feel free to never talk to me again.
We all have different criteria, and like for me, it might have nothing to do with how others view it. There are people who affect my life here in a great way, but not a Vampire Rave way. I'm mostly supporting a team effort many here aren't connected with. I only have five whacks at it- and it hasn't been a game for me to make sure the names on the top ten are the ones I want.
Expecting Numerical Honor to prove friendship, to me, equates to lack of honor.
I would hope the people I am friends with know they mean more to me then any number on a site. Or status on the same site.
But if I can gift them honor, then I will. Or the people I think have done a lot for the site. Like Elder Daniel. I have never 'meet" the man online , or talked to. But his Member's Article for Whelps, basic code items, is on my list to honor.
Friends, people who help the site, give time to the site- are the ones I spend my on. And some of those folks I don't even talk to.
These are great answers and "honorable" ones :)
I agree a number left on the Internet could never define a friendship! Heh! it's ridiculous people could even suggest that, however.. It would show support for a friend, or simply convey the message that you cared enough to do it in the first place.
Agreed :)
I am just honoured to have the few Honour points I have right now. I neither expect, nor need any more than that.
In my opinion, the right people are top of the Honours (at this moment in time), although there are probably a hundered-and-one other folk here who are deserving of a mention too :P
If there is a right or wrong way to do it, everyone is screwed. I am doing it the way I am doing it because I have to. I have all these expectations and hopes for the way I am going to use it as the top administrator, it's really uncomfortable and I totally hate the feeling I am getting from some people about it. If my name needs to be in someone's Honor log to prove friendship, it isn't friendship- it's a show. Friendship and Honor points are not synonymous.
I agree you can't prove or define a friendship by these honour points it would be nuts if someone did that! it shows you care for the person though for whatever reason. I have been fortunate to have so many lovely messages left..it leaves a real buzz :)
It does leave warm fuzzies when someone is nice about it. Still though, it doesn't define the true person you're giving or taking from.
It never could either. I have had a ton of negative honour, and now insults... It just shows the crap that goes on in people's minds. Findamentally though if the honour was all good, it would essentially mean the system is flawed. Whoever heard of a President being elected without opposition!
When I give honor, I give it to people who have touched my life in some way or another.
Either through kind words, helping advice, or making the time spent here worth while.
I have given negative honor because of how someone's actions have effective either myself or how I felt about one's negativity.
Other than that, there is no real "reason" I give people my honors. It's more of how I feel at the time and how they have made an impact on either my life or time spent here.
:)
I also do not think it has anything to do with defining one's relationships here on VR. I have friends who haven't shared honor with me and vice versa simply because we don't need a statistic telling us where our friendships are. We already know where they are and are content with it.
Best be careful now, abusing those powers given you here and then telling about your findings to anyone within earshot like you are want to do might just get you into a wee bit o' trouble don't ya think? And that would just be a shame now wouldn't it....
Funny thing when a person shares an IP address, gives you a few choices doesn't it. No one is hiding anything from YOU because no one cares what YOU think.
So self-righteous and self-serving as always.
So you come to dishonor me every day with your gabillion lower profiles but what you don't understand is that I don't consider that true dishonor. Sane people generally would go and dishonor someone once or twice maybe as beyond that it becomes something else.
Do you think its that important to me whether or not I am in the top 10? I like the good feelings I get from giving Honor to others, people I respect and want to show a little love and it's nice being appreciated as well.
What you are doing has obviously nothing to do with Honor or Dishonor. It is jealousy, anger and lord knows what else. It is YOUR issue. It doesn't show dishonor when it is 50 or so dishonors in a row daily, that shows only an attempt by someone who obviously can't handle me being liked by my peers. I kind of feel sorry for you, must be hard having that huge chip on your shoulder.
Anyways, I'm sure I will get to see the same thing every day *shrugs* carry on...
COMMENTS
That's actually pretty silly and childish. But, hey, even with so much dishonor, you're still one of the top. That says a lot for your character and the type of person you are. It means you're awesome. :]
If everyone on vr liked you, well, it would be strange. Lots of crazy folks here-BUT the nice ones make it worth it.
Yeah...looks like some kind of hateful psycho anal retentive thing going on...too bad he/she can't get past the crazies and guilt to go wash their hands 100 times a day, Lady MacBeth style.
It's important to give something back to people who are your friends, and you get that warm buzz of love when you do... A bit like giving a Christmas gift to a friend, but I agree you have to have devious motives to do what someone continues to do with your honour points.
I've noticed/heard that some members are telling other members how to allocate their Honor. Questioning how the individual has chosen to use theirs and to whom. Seriously people? Some way to guilt someone into giving you honor....so not cool.
COMMENTS
What?
Youre right.
SO not cool.
And that sucks. We all only have five chances a day, and we need to use it as we see fit. I already see people angry they have given it to someone and are mad that person chose someone else instead of giving to them in 'return'. This is not like rating. And people having that kind of self-entitlement is not honorable anyway.
A lot of sneaky bullying shit goes on in the antfarm.
Heh, I can believe that. Guilt will get that person no where.
Level 140-149
Members at level: 19
With these odds it's not too hard to deduce who left that -14 for me, lol.
I'd return the favor but nah, I'm not going to start playing that game with you.
COMMENTS
Something like that just makes a mockery of the system, don't you think?
That sucks. .....
Hummm...can I ask if it's a guy or a gal?
Wow HAHAHA look at my Honor, someone no likey when I'm at the top....that many profiles indicates too much time on your hands.
Really....get a new hobby, maybe outside of the house.
COMMENTS
They are jealous. :P Silly people.
I got the same thing. :P
Something so sad and PATHETIC....making fake profiles just to dishonor someone, YOU are a complete idiot.
COMMENTS
That's a bit slow. They'd have to get up to level 5 every time and then take away petty honors. 5 honor is something to laugh at. o.o
Jeeze~
You know, I have friends here that don't exactly "gel" with some of my other friends and I'm friends with people that have friends that I don't like as well. But that's ok. I would never want to put a friend in an awkward position or make them "choose" that is just so High School.
What I don't like is being someones "closet" friend. You know, someone that doesn't mind being your best bud in messages but doesn't acknowledge you in ANY other way on the site. Mainly because their "friends" and I don't care for one another.
Some folks just don't have the backbone I guess.
COMMENTS
Ah, isnt that a FACT! No backbone. Its vety sneaky and cheap of them though.
The new Honor system. I like to think of it as a time for self-reflection. Because for ME that is what it is. My time here on VR has been a roller coaster much like my life. Full of ups and downs.
Have I always handled things well here? No. Do I always say the right thing? No. Lord knows I have put my foot in my mouth countless times, blown things out of proportion, lost my temper.......you get the picture. Do I wish I could take some of it back? Yes.
There is no doubt that I have a lot of personal issues that I need to work on and that my dealings with a few of the folks here I wish I could just erase, some it just plain embarrasses me. I am ashamed. I regret to say this but even if I offered an olive branch to a select few I am certain it would be refused, some people form an opinion and stick to it and well, that is their prerogative.
Life is full of lessons, some harder than others and some take a long time to learn. I will continue trying to be a better person, it might take me a bit lol but to those of you that have seen past my flaws I THANK YOU. Some of you are close friends, some acquaintances, and some I barely know but it all means so much. I can deal with the negative, like I said, I am not perfect and I expect my fair share.
Maybe this whole Honor thing is to keep us all in check, stop, think.
COMMENTS
It's funny - I had very similar thoughts. Because Cancer has restricted it to just five times a day, it counts for so much more. So I've paid attention to whom I give it and I guess that's when I realized, 'Hmm, I hope I've been kind enough to a few people who will be inclined to acknowledge it through the honor.'
Indeed :)
Well said, you two!

Yes, it certainly is a sick onsession. They some how still seem to think that I care about how much E-Negative Honor they give to me daily. Yup, I certainly have given out negative honor to that particular group of obsessed people. But not nearly as much as they have given to me daily. I still laugh as I see the numbers get higher and higher every day.

I'll speak for myself and my 'group' if there is one. I am an adult and act very much like an adult. The adult thing to do here would be to make this site enjoyable for yourself, what ever that means. If you dont like reading all of the "high school" bs...dont read it. It obviously is not a joy for you. I hate to tell you but there has always and will always be drama where groups of people come together, be it here or any where else.
If you are sick of something you cant control, why let it bother you? Why have an emotional investment in other people actions and interactions?
Make this place what you want it to be for you, not what you think of what it should be for everyone else. Because in the end...
We are all sick of one thing or another.

Zila you obviously took this personally and if you want to own it then so be it.
"If you are sick of something you cant control, why let it bother you? Why have an emotional investment in other people actions and interactions?"
Why not take a note from your own book?
This entry is a generalization, not finger pointing and I'm not going to get in a pissing contest with you. You don't need to tell me how this site or any other site is I've been here plenty long enough to know.

I didn't take your entry personal. I made it personal by owning my actions as they pertain to your thoughts expressed in the entry.
I am not certain why my comment seems to have been offensive to you. I was suggesting an option to rid yourself of the frustration as you expressed it here.
Which note exaclty would you like for me to take from my book?
Do you think I am emotionally attached to any of this? lol.
If you read my comment and deducted that it should in any way lead to a pissing contest you are far more into the "high school" antics than you think. I commented in a public journal, it's the way the site works right? You've been here long enough you do know that.

People are going to do what they feel is right at the time. There are others who get under our skin, but are they really worth it? I don't think so. I like using honor to leave cool comments to friends and they way I like to every day by my own hand.
The top and bottom will change. If people weren't so obsessed with who was on top and had enough friends that were as stubborn as they were giving positives as they dished out negatives then maybe the top would look different.
