Online gameshow drama
Oh, for heaven's sakes... can't the internet stop being lame once in a while?
I like to play games - so I went looking for some game communities on LJ. I found one for the Match Game, one for Wheel of Fortune, and one for multiple games. "Cool!" I thought to myself, as I often do, because talking to myself while I am alone is kind of lame. "I think I will join these communities and play games." So I did.
I only got to enjoy like... one round of each game before LJ DRAMA struck. The guy that was running two of the games was going on vacation - which, y'know no big deal. Okay, games will continue when he gets back, no problem. So then there's a post saying that other members of the communities have taken over to post things while he's on vacation. "How nice," I thought again (still not doing the talking to myself thing), and was ready to play games again. Only then there was a post saying that the two communities were closed, and that the games were being moved to the third community (the one that has like... five different games a day).
So I was like "Well, alrighty then" and figured that they'd just worked something out that I wasn't aware of, and I'd just enjoy playing the games from the big multi-game community. Right? Wrong. Apparently, the two 'friends' had hijacked the Match Game and Wheel of Fortune communities while they had the opportunity, and brought them under the totalitarian rule of the big-multi-game-community (which apparently, eats smaller games in a soviet-pac-man like fashion.)
"Well, that's pretty shitty," I thought to myself and joined the guy who had his stuff stolen's new match game community, figuring I'd play there and the big game community because let's face it- I just want to play a damn game. Then I read a few posts in the guy's personal journal and read that they not only stole his communities, they also brought his personal sex life into question. Um... yeah. The drama goes on from there. I'm sorry, but I don't care if someone is a freaking furry humping llamas in Peru (that wasn't what it was, but y'know) - all I care about is that they update the game regularly. Who cares who is fucking whom? I certainly don't. I just want to PLAY A DAMN GAME!
So.... I posted a link to the guy's new match game community here in my LJ, figuring that I'd see if other people want to play with me , 'cause you know... I still want to play a game. Then the Super-Mega-Many-Games community notices that I have an ad for the other guy's comm- and they kick me out of their community without so much as a 'fuckyou,goodbye.' I reapplied to make sure it wasn't an accidental deletion, but no- it was a case of them being dicks.
I give up! There is just no way to play a game on LJ.
