Having now been away from Sydney for over a year, it is interesting to look at it from with some perspective. I am sad to see that the same fights are happening and the same people are involved ( Read more... )

Whilst I'm normally quite content to keep my nose as far away from all this as possible (It make's life a lot easier) the current burst of drama has almost got me wanting to try to keep up with the goss. *embarrassed look*

Plenty of it was being flung last weekend ;-)

Isn't there a law saying it's not a proper gathering of gamers unless we're slinging shit about something?

Naturally. The thing is we're pretty big as far as an extended social group goes. However, because we're connected by a hobby, instead of simple friendship, there's always going to be personality clashes.

Yes, granted, but that doesn't excuse the levels of cruelty and viciousness that gets bandied about. Hell, I was just as guilty of it in my time. I openly admit that, but now that I am away from it, I can see that I was being really shitty at times. And I don't want to do that ever again.

I'd pick Passions over Bold and the Beautiful any day. :)

malinari86 October 16 2008, 11:51:59 UTC

That's cos Passions is win and B&B = fail

Post hoc ergo propter hoc, why spectate a subculture without a good dash of venom to it?

malinari86 October 17 2008, 12:36:17 UTC

huh?

I don't care about the subculture, just the people.

Don't mind me, just being a smart-ass. Yeah, Sydney's well messed up. I'll sign on to the "something in the water" theory.
