Title: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Hecubus on 2008 March 06, 04:07:04
I was just notified that everyone's 'favorite' Artist Manager is no longer at TSR. She's not an FA, not an SA, not anywhere. According to my source, the grapevines says "she was sacked after problems between her, Dot, Tug and Aikea. Thomas sacked her, not backed her."

So what shall we do to celebrate show her our sympathy?

(Tee hee!)

Her page is still there is you type in the address. Wonder how long until she's poofed entirely? Or maybe they're waiting for her to beg and repent, THEN poof her, muahahaha.

My question is who will be Thomas' bitch now?  Who makes the crappiest stuff?  I will say this about Atwa, when I pm'ed several mods with a question about a problem I had, SHE was the only one who ever answered.  After pming Tug, who is completely worthless and never responded (she was the mod in charge of this particular area), Atwa did help me and was very nice as well.  This has been quite a while back and before I was a pirate.  :P

This calls for a HUGE rum party and of course a new video from Sherrie.

I dunno... one scuzz kicked off the sleazeboat? It doesn't do anything for me. And frankly, it's not like I can blame anyone for not getting along with Aikea.

When Tomass himself takes the fall, I'll celebrate.

Yeah!!! That's a freaking good news! ;D rum for everyone!

TSR's base is starting to crumble, the rest may come with it... *hope*
Atwat was indeed a main piece there, despite her fugliness: active piece in tsr "community".

Her page is still up and all her items too (free now), there's no infos about her demise in her blog.
I really wonder what she could have done to be nuked like that, mmmm ???
Maybe she's going to retirement and still haven't been moved to the 'retired artists'.

The only person who churns out even worse CC is Evi, so my money's set on her being the replacement. Atwa will probably pull a Jan and go through several sites and aliases.

 I'm surprised yet not surprised, I think the main question is WTF took them so long!

Atwa was only recruited, by her own admission, as a 'spy' (which she was paid separatly for) and yet of course they could not put 'spy' as her job title so her cover was artist manager (non FA) Now the non paid artists don't need to be 'managed' so her official job became to be 'tech help' supposidly to help with tech issues and report problems to Tomass.  But she knows absolutly nothing about either computers or servers, there is a button to report tech issues, tug and the other mods run the forum, and Tomass can read the forum himself, so WTF were they paying her for? evidently, just the spywork.

It's pretty common knowledge that she passes every PM/mail/IM to tomass (and everyone else on the net who haven't yet blocked her) so it's safe to say there arn't many juicy secrets being shared with her these days! so maybe she wasn't earning her wage anymore. She certainly wasn't there for her errrm ...  ??? creations?

However another reason for her departure may be due to the fact that she is no longer putting much effort into pretending to be nice, you only have to read her forum posts to see her condecending and sometimes down right nasty nature towards others. before her promotion she could do a very good impression of nice and even helpfull, but afterwards she was only nice to get info. she told everyone part of her job was to choose FA's and SA's with Tomass, and offered these positions as bribes, even though her power was not as high as she led people to believe. Anyone who could not be bribed she blackmailed with getting them booted if they did not do as she said, this was something she could do, even thogh she did it through lies to Tomass rather than actual power.  It wasn't long before she acted like she ran both the forum and TSR, that's bound to step on the wrong toes.  combine that with the fact she has brought more people here then we can count, either through pissing them off or spreading the link around everytime her name is mentioned here. The losses she has brought to TSR must far outweigh any gains. Tomass must have finally woke up.

But the question remains can she lie, cheat and asskiss her way back in? I would not be surprised, Tomass is not known for his intelligence.  ::)

Ah, I am happy.  She was such a nasty bitch about everything - those sorts of people always overstep the bounds and fuck up all their power.

Don't you have some hate mail to return to her Sherrie, just change a few details (like reverse the names) of the crap she sent to you, and mail it right back? Except this time you'll be right, and it's true.  When she sent it to you, she was grossly misinformed.

I don't suppose there's some kind of link so that we can all gawk and gloat?  :D

Post by: alia on 2008 March 06, 11:28:25
Am I the only one who feels at least a bit sorry for her? :-\

I just get the feeling from reading her blog that she's very lonely IRL, and now that she's been sacked, I do not think she has a life to go back to... Of course, it's all her fault, really, what with the powertripping, bullying, lying and manipulating everyone. She got what she deserved.

Isn't Aikea the other artist manager at TSR?
I wonder how long it takes before she manages to piss everyone off?
Thomass isn't going to sack her, however, since she's one of the cash-cows at TSR. Atwa was expendable as everyone could see that her creations were crap.

I wonder now when she fell, who's going to be the new favourite TSR courtesan? Aikea? Hmmm, her stuff isn't bad enough to fill that thread, but maybe we could celebrate her promotion with making cheerful, fluffy, teeth-rottingly sappy story featuring her pwecious emodiots.  ;D

I think, in honor of Atwat, we should have a contest amongst us... who can make the worst recolor of a Maxis mesh. I've always wanted to make a dress in these colors: http://www.dayglo.com/

Actually, done in style that could look very good. (Hey, I like modern design!)

If you want to continue Atwa's legacy, you'd need to find a tacky flower print and cover the entire room with it.

Once every six years.

(Math is your friend!)


Neriana, you do make a good point - I suppose it's notable that Atwat is gone, because of her position and the unrest she caused. It's not a secret she's always been a thorn in the side of the more well-established FAs, like Aikea and DOT, and I suppose one too many bad decisions and cruelty to the masses didn't help. (Makes you wonder if she was behind Blackgarden and/or Simal10's promotion.)

How to get whatever the hell you want without taking shit for it:

0. Tell Atwa she can choose new FA's
1. Hire all kinds of FA's from outside of the SA pool
2. Send Atwa to hush up some digruntled SA's
3. Hire more and more FA's from outside of the SA pool
4. Tell the older FA's it's not a big deal, even though they worked their ass off to get the position
5. Keep SA's busy with something else, like a new forum and a shiny......coupon
6. Hire even more FA's from outside of the pool, and get some SA's promoted as well so people shut up about it
7. Keep doing this untill you run out of good people to hire from outside the site
8. Watch the new FA interacting with older FA / factioning
9. Hear the SA's mumbling something about llama's
10. Blame Atwa for everything that transpired and get her off the site pronto/ make her believe she chose to leave herself

Good point. How many times has this kind of thing happened in the TS2 community now?

The buck stops with Tomass, and until he actually personally gets his ass handed to him, I don't think a shakeup in his minions matters much. Besides, I'll miss Atwa's hilarious recolors.

I'd love to have seen some of the conversations that led to this, though.

Late to the party as always, but withthis news, it IS a party! That is one sad lonely woman, and I am afraid she'll be even sadder and lonelier...taking pictures of her food even more, before she eats it and swells another dress size, and goes home to her lonely flat to think of more home "decorating" ideas to inflict via her own website. But hey! It's a party. Quit bringing me down, Atwat.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Jojoba on 2008 March 06, 18:52:12
Its odd that theyve removed her FA status, made all of her creations free (dont they often lock the downloads still?), yet her profile on the forum is untouched. Still has the Artist Manager status and her thread in the FA area....Rather inconsistent of them. Curious. She's also still posting help post at TSR as if nothing has changed...interesting. I would have presumed she had been banned, appears not.

My guess is that Atwa will make her own little merry paysite to annoy us with...and TSR will get someone else to be the FA manager - someone more competent heh :-\

Not going to happen. :)
She's been our "favourite" FA for some time now, (well, since she was promoted) and I'm quite certain that she's well aware of all the stuff we've said about her. And, to be honest, after all the things we've said about her, there is no way in hell she'll come here begging for acceptance.

And I don't think Thomass sacking Atwa is any indication of TSR taking a nose dive. Quite contrary, I think it's rather a smart move. After all, Atwa wasn't producing anything worthwhile for the site and she was pissing of some of the TSR's most popular creators (DOT and Aikea). So, the logical step was to get rid of her.

When I was googling for tutorials one of the results that popped up was a skinning tutorial done by Tomass. Had no desire to even click on it, but I can only imagine. Guy doesn't even play does he?

Plus I agree with Alia. There's no way Atwa would start posting here. Her hate for us runs too deep.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: WedgewoodBlue on 2008 March 06, 23:09:47
Even if Atwat did come here and post, I for one, would not trust her at all. Other people come here from TSR to spy, and no matter how ridiculous this may sound, this could very well be an attempt by TSR to glean info from us. Nope not gonna trust that bitch at all, ever.
She'll have a paysite like Cardrew and be her only paying customer.

And...maybe this is just me, but I got fired once, and I was so humiliated by it, I never set foot in that place again. Yes, I was only 18, but still, being fired is traumatic. Now that's not saying I feel any kind of sympathy for her, I don't. If she is well and truly fired, she got what she deserved.

Karma-what goes around comes around.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Paden on 2008 March 06, 23:12:04
I don't actually hate the bitch, but my disgust for the hag runs almost as deep as the disgust for those who maim and torture helpless animals almost to the point of death. My loathing for her is almost matched by my loathing for hypocrites and hypochondriacs. My relief that she no longer "creates" for TSR is almost the same relief that I feel after having a nice healthy bowel movement. (Bet you thought I was gonna say take a shit, didn't ya?) And the results that she put up for the consumer to buy weren't even as good as the results of a nice healthy bowel movement...  ;D


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Anouk on 2008 March 06, 23:15:09
So let me get this straight - all that happened was that her stuff is now free?
That just means they got a little smarter and realized people were going to keep on whining about her stuff not being comparable to other FA stuff, and to avoid that they just made it free? As I understand, creating is not her main job at TSR at all. So nothing happened.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: RedLove on 2008 March 06, 23:25:00
That's what I was thinking Noukie. I don't necessarily think she's gone just we don't have to suffer her stuff being pay anymore. We still have to suffer it as free stuff. So don't everyone go thinking atwa is gone, my guess is she's still in business.

Post by: calalily on 2008 March 07, 03:33:46
Maybe she thinks that if her stuff is free, we won't make fun of her. Think again Atwat.  Upload to a paysite, and you're free game, free or pay.

I agree that she's lonely, that she has very few friends.  Normally, I would feel sympathy for someone like that and try to be a little nicer to them.  But I don't feel one ounce of sympathy for her due to the way she treated Sherrie.  She said some pretty awful things to her, long after Sherrie had left and was no longer TSR business - but rather when she had to track her down.

She wanted to dish nastiness out, so now she can take all the nastiness she gets. 


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Azaya on 2008 March 07, 04:33:22
Well, in general we don't make fun of free creators, but in this case it doesn't appear she went free of her own volition. Even if she did.. well, she's still Atwat.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Paden on 2008 March 07, 05:22:14
She still works for a pay site, so she is fair game. If she had gone totally free, broken with TSR, maybe I'd let her memory alone. But no. She's still there and still game for my pea shooter.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Elfen Lied on 2008 March 07, 12:54:04
If the Twat had been a much nicer person, treated people with a bit of respect, and actually did something helpful and good for this community (besides making us laugh with her horrid recolors,) then, maybe, somewhere in my little black heart, I'd feel an ounce sorry for her. She does and will not ever, get my sympathies. She does and will not ever, get my respect. She has shown what kind of person she is time and time again.

You lay with dogs, you wake up with fleas. The twat got what she deserved.

This should tell you about how much I ever paid attention to her. I went through the FA list on TSR to browse their creations yesterday due to sheer boredom and didn't even notice she was missing. It wasn't until I saw this topic when I realized it.

Reason why i Strongly dislike Thomas is because he represents TSR of course, another reason,  i have a very good friend with the same name, and he is nice and intellegent.  I have seen how some are trying to mix Obama - Osama, which is hillarious to me  :P
So don't think Thomas is a name of a nazi or something, i know many nice Thomas's !

But i like Atwa as Atwat, that's fine - it probably suits her. I had an account with TSR once, before i went total
allergic to paysites. It was TSR who convinced me 100% that paysites were all wrong, but that is a long time ago now.
Yeah, well maybe i should thank them.

Ha.
Whether she's still there or not, she's been demoted and that's funny as turtle sex. (Search for Turtle Sex at YouTube, it's funny...turn up the sound, too...lol) And no, it wasn't my idea to watch turtle sex. Luke has strange friends.  :-\  :D

So, this is how I'm seeing this:
A. Thomass realized, finally, her stuff is crap and said, Hell, no one wants your shit, making them pay for it is idiotic...and demoted her.
or
B. She decided she wanted her things to be free because she got a clue with AW's cluepon and saw how shitty it is.
And we win. She's free. *kinda* You catch the drift.

Sooo, either way HAHA!!
*snort*
I'll pop open a box of wine in her honor later.

Out of self-interest, I'm voting for B Ry.  ;D  Plus, if Thomas didn't know her stuff looked like shit BEFORE he made her the Artist Manager, he definitely wouldn't have taken this long.  Plus, it's not about quality, it's about quantity.  Who cares what it looks like?  Who cares that puke green paisley isn't "in" anymore?   ;)

I think we need to come together as a forum to show our support.  We need an Atwat Avi in her honor (don't forget the eyepatch).  Avi anyone?  ;D

I gotta go with BlueButterfly above... yesterday I was bored and was looking at FA stuff at TSR (mostly to point and laugh - was one of those days that I needed a laugh) and I also didn't even notice that she was gone, didn't know a thing until I came here, so much for how much I cared about her stuff.

I wouldn't ever have downloaded her stuff if it was free - and that included the fact that I could get it from the booty.  My sims would refuse to play with me if I gave them that crap.  And that includes my poorest and tackiest sim-families.   ;D

I am still hoping for the day that TSR goes down in flames, which I do believe will be sooner than later - especially with the price increase.  I guess I still hope that people will eventually get tired of this crap.  Or maybe I am naive, or a dreamer...  ::)   Just glad I smartened up and became a pirate.  Arrr.

This calls for an SAT word: schadenfreude.

I don't normally rejoice when someone gets fired, but when it is well-deserved, I can't help but eat some celebratory cookies and chuckle a lot.

Seems like she's still there and still getting paid to narc, so perhaps her duties as Stupor Spai are expanding, and the demotion from FA is to lure some into false complacency where she is concerned.

What a dysfunctional place TSR is.

Ahhh, the seventies... We had orange shag carpet in the living room and the walls were painted avocado green with heavy fiberglass drapes also in orange. The furniture was also green. The kitchen carried over the same theme, but the floors were a nice neutral tile but the cabinets were painted that violent orange. I know that it was orange because it was painted in one of the few shades of that colour that I can distinguish from red... Borderline red/orange colour blind here... The bedrooms were painted in avocado green but the curtains were a darker shade, so we at least escaped the orange... And you people wonder what all played a part in making me so nuts!

The basement is where we kids liked to hang out, the floor was multi-coloured tile and the furniture was a nice shade of deep rose and the walls were white. The tv was also downstairs, so it was all good! Later on, we got carpet but it wasn't shag and it wasn't orange, thank God. It was this sculpted stuff with little picture type thingies in it. Roses on a green back ground, I think it was. The rec room was the only one that had that, though, and after our basement flooded one spring I was relieved of that thing... The seventies, when you could unhinge a child's brain with horribly clashing colours and patterns, and if not totally unhinge it, make it a little more odd than normal.  ;D  :D

 :D Oh yes well I remember the 70's. My bitch of a step-mother did the decorating. My bedroom was enough  to give an infant nightmares, yellow and orange flowered wallpaper. with a bedspread to match. It was ghastly to say the least. Our  rec room, purple carpet, one red chair, and some fugly brown patterened type couch and chair. Last I saw of that room, it was also that horrid brown panelling.
This woman never hear of colour schemes. Not one room in that house had any kind of coherent thought put into the decorating. If she saw something she liked, she bought it, and the colours she mixed were unbelievable. The red and orange combination was also prevalent in the living room. Needless to say, I spent whatever time I could at my Aunt's house. She didn't have the money to follow trends, so her house was tastefully decorated with a lot of the original wood kept in mint condition. No colour clashing there, at least my Aunt with very little money had good taste, unlike my step-mom who had access to all my dad's money, and couldn't find her way around a colour palette.

Those things were the worst and the bane of my existence when I was learning to walk and tried to use them to hold onto! The only thing they were good for aside from looking like total hell was insulating a wee bit and keeping the room darkened so you didn't have to take in the full effect of orange and green clashing like giants fighting over the last chocolate in the box... The only way we finally got rid of the horrid things was when my sister had a spider monkey and it got loose one day and skinnied up those things, walked along the curtain rod and crapped down the whole length of them, then dropped an apple on my dad's head. Dad shot up out of his recliner and yanked those things down along with the monkey which landed on my sister's shoulder looking very pleased. The drapes got shoved into a trash bag and that very day he went out and bought regular soft, white drapes. The monkey, needless to say, found a new home and our drapes stayed in place for many years until they fell apart when another sister bleached them beyond what they could take and fell apart...

When we first moved into this house, there was avocado-brownish wood panelling in the family room, gold carpet (not shag, mind you), and fuzzy, foily wall paper. Fuzzy. Wallpaper. It was in the downstairs bathroom (gold with fuzzy red flowers), the downstairs hallway (same stuff as in the bathroom), and the dining room (gold with fuzzy pink flowers). And their were gold-colored velvet curtains in the living room. I think the living room had fuzzy wallpaper, but I'm not sure. It's been so long since it was redone.

I wonder how much that wallpaper originally cost. We tore that shit down the first chance we got.

That wallpaper is the opposite of tasteful, but I dunno. It has character. I'd leave it up. I hate it when everything is in terribly good taste -- it works for Sims, but I don't like it for myself. I could live with roosters and on the walls a lot more easily than a perfectly decorated house like a showroom. I have an uncle and aunt who decorated their house in perfect, unobjectionable, catalog-worthy taste, and it doesn't feel like a home, though they've lived there now for about 20 years.

maybe a wallpaper border.  I tend to like the shabby chic stuff a little bit.  We have some paneling in our hallway with little pink roses on a white background that I do like.

When we bought our house, it was from the original owners.  They had it professionally decorated.  All the curtains matched all the wallpapers and the outlet covers had been wallpapered as well.  It  was a flipping nightmare.  Once I started adding up all the paint, etc. supplies from Home Depot that we bought just to get a different pallet, we had topped $6000.  I won't even go into the carpet/flooring.  Needless to say, once it was finally done, we were reassigned 14 months later.  >:(

My parents built their house in 1956, and the what would now be authentic retro look was just gorgeous (from what I can tell of pictures); polished timber floors, white walls, aqua feature walls, bakelite and enamel kitchen furniture and appliances in black and white... But then, Mum had some kind of brain-fart in the 70s when my sister and I were born and decided that carpeting the whole living area plus their bedroom in red, orange, yellow and bown shag carpet, painting every one of the walls a nice colour I like to call "rental beige", a nice mission brown lounge suite with orange and yellow accent cushions and then decoratve touches, also in orange, would be a good thing.

Luckily, I was spared the indignity of suffering that combined with lime green, but I can tell you it was traumatic. Like growing up in one of the outer circles of HELL. I half expected Mephistopheles to appear and claim my soul.

And the house STILL looks like that.

Seriously though, it took her how long to come up with that lame excuse? If just one word of that was in the same galaxy as truth, she would have written it the day she was fired left. Also -

1. Theres the fact that how long exactly does it take to reply to a few forum posts, and click the forward button on  a few private mails. she replies to a max of what? 3 posts a day?, and forwards about 3 or 4 mails/PM's, all of which is done from her work computer, so what exactly takes up all of her (and I hate to use this word..) 'creation' time.

2. How come all her stuff was thrown out as free and not put in the retired FA section?

3. If she's so busy, busy, busy, then how come she's still pumping out the same shit at exactly the same rate as she was before her 'temporary step down' so what's changed?

4. Aikea Guinea supposidly does the same job as Atwat for FA's, I dont see her stuff free. (well actually I do in the booty HA!)

I think it's one of 3 reasons, either -

1. Tomass had to remove her from pay because at a time when subscribers are questioning whether the subs are worth the new price hike he doesn't want them faced with atwats monstrocities.

2. At a time when Tomass is trying to convince EA that TSR actually provides a service that makes people want to buy EA products, he does not want them to look at atwa and realise he's taking the piss.

3. The leaked story was true, as was my premonition that it wouldn't last long, atwa has very brown lips and Tomass can't stop washing his ass.

Squooshy, I remember you first post. :)

Atwa really phails at everything, doesn't she? ;)

If you enjoyed reading this thread, there are some other funny threads around here, as well. If you want commentary on Atwa and Thomass, try the ugliest paysite find thread and the TSR threads. BTW, did the first TSR thread (TSR is a suck ass sucky website, or something) from 2006 get burninated, or is it still here somewhere?

Oh, and Dr House, you're welcome! :)

What a great first post to read after nearly 4 months!  Free or pay, still wouldn't download any of atwat's stuff, I LIKE my sims too much for that.  As for the colors, I am a child of the 70's (had waist length hair one year, a shag the next), and my mom had the worst taste in colors.  All the rooms were the same colors, harvest gold, burnt orange, beige and brown, all mixed together with a little fake black leather thrown in.  Carpet and dark paneling in every room.  It may be considered retro and in these days, but not for me....lived it, seen in, that was enough!

Hm, I'm trying to visualize Atwa "managing" the "artists."  Something like this:

"Hey JSF, your walls are way too tasteful.  Try a pink paisley with those red stripes, and don't forget the Disney character border."

"Sorry, steffor, that set doesn't cut it.  Everything MUST be made of the same eyeblowingly loud floral print:  what kind of talent did you say you had?"

"Chaz, my dear, you are really good at this hair thing.  Your models are a little too fetching, though."

Post by: fway on 2008 March 29, 03:37:30
If an artist manager picks FAs... who know's who Atwat is going to pick... she's so delusional that she would probably choose the worst creator, or probably go over to Carla Niven's site and say. "WOW your stuff is amazing! I really wish you'd come over here to TSR as an FA. We would pay you more than what you get for your stuff" (she probably get's 0 now because her stuff is so repulsively hideous). We should really e-mail atwat and reccomend that she should contact her and suggest to become an FA... *chuckles* 

Although, I really do wonder how Atwat would react to Carla Niven's clothing. Maybe Atwat = Carla Niven?


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Markus on 2008 March 29, 04:55:44
I'd never thought of that, but I think you're on to something fway. Maybe Cardew is Atwa and Buntah. They could have decided to team up for a side project...


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: deelink on 2008 March 29, 21:30:38
The only real explanation to that theory is that Atwat has multiple personalities. Carla is very different to Atwat, but just as untalented AND deluded. If they aren't the same person, they are best friends poring over third rate magazines like "Egyptian Whores and What they Wear" or "Garbage: An extension to your home", while Buntah sits in a corner gumming up cardboard and yelling out "Box!" everyso often.
What am I kidding. Atwat doesn't have any friends. And she cannot have that much vileness inside her to spread it across two sites. All this talk about Atwat has made me ill.. urgh.. *scampers off*

Post by: coconut on 2008 April 01, 18:35:19
   All hell's been let loose in the inside of TSR, Atwa has declared an all out war on certain FA's and Mods, if she has her way, expect at least 3 big name departures soon, maybe more.
 
   Atwa was already on thin ice, for blabbing secrets to Madisim on the phone, Madisim in turn blabbed and Atwa was hauled over the coals. Then came the latest internal fight, The FA's and Mods complained to Tom at the end of Feb and put him in an impossible situation, either Atwa goes or they walk, This time was the final straw, by the 3rd March, Atwa lost her grasp on the FA title. Tom explained that his hands were tied in this mess, but she gets to remain AM, gets a new badge and is still on the most prestidgeous list on TSR, the staff list, and gets to be later seen as stepping down voluntarily. Not good enough, Atwa is furious, she can't believe Tom chose Aikea and Co over her, and he even had the nerve, as she puts it, to dress her down for talking badly about the other FA's. She also wanted her items to remain subscriber only, However Tom made the decision to put them on free. She begged for Tom to reinstate her maybe in 6 months time, Tom said it wasn't impossible, but made no promises. 
 
  This is where the latest development exploded, although Tom has failed to give her any confirmation either way of her future as an FA, Atwa has taken it as her personal mission that she has to get rid of Aikea, DOT, Tug & Co  within these next few months, as she says that while they are there they would make sure Tom would never allow her back as FA. She's knows some of the older FA's are also part of this and has launched a witchhunt to find out exactly who. Naturally I won't name them and make it easy for her. She has announced she is heading the SA project, and will be using her position as AM to her advantage, quite seriously, she has this all worked out to a military precision, she delusionally believes she's now leading an army to victory, against the other FA's,  She's convinced her position as AM can help her claim back her FA title, she's using it to blackmail and manipulate SA's into becoming allies, and she still has full access to sensitive info, such as the SA/FA project which she's using in her all out war against DOT. The TC fiasco was blown out of proportion by Atwa to take care of the Mods, as for jsf she's also used the SA's against her, she did this again with military precision, by taking detailed screens of private posts on another board, where Riverwillows had posted some unflattering things about jsf, naturally Atwa made sure that Judi got these, and Judi made a complaint, resulting in the announcement that no member of these boards can be SA anymore, Thus turning the SA's against jsf. she then continued the campaign by accusing other members of being the mole, causing a hornets nest, and turning the fingers away from herself, and also as a bonus stab at River, whom Atwa despises. When this failed to have the desired effect against River she accused River, behind her back, of being a P.M.B.D member and filesharer. Aikea has stopped responding to Atwas constant whining PMs, leading to Atwa complaining that technically Aikea is her AM and is failing to do her job, Atwa is wrong again as Aikea is the FA manager and Atwa can't get it through her thick skull that she's no longer FA.
   
   However, there is so much unrest with FA's that Atwa may not need to do anything, they are on the verge of walking any day now, part of the main complaint/ultimatum to Tom was her access to the private forums and ability for her to cause trouble, him simply just firing her as FA but allowing her staff status has enabled her to spend more time and effort into bringing them down and has strengthened rather than solved the problem that everyone has with her.

Atwa is in Sweden. Do they gossip on the phone regularly? Wow. They must be really close, as calling from one continent to another just to blabber on the phone must be expensive, not to mention all the timezone differences and stuff.

Ahh now thats one thing that I (and I'm sure the other ex friends of atwat here) can verify as true! Atwat always bragged she spent hours on the telephone to David (madisim) they had a very close relationship which started when he mentioned inheriting a huge amount of money. However the relationship cooled when she branded him a liar for saying that the taxman had taken it all, looks like she has started up with the calls again, either the money mysteriously came back again, or she found another use for him. Lol  ;D  He does live in the US and she lives in sweden. But its Atwat who makes the long distance calls to him.

TSR isn't a website. It's a serialized pulp novel.

So... some prostitute talked to her friend (one of the bouncers?), who betrayed her confidence behind her back, and what she said made all the other important whores angry and they squawked at their pimp to punish the prostitute in some way. But said prostitute has built up influence with the pimp because of her undying ass-kissing and spying for him. So to shut all his bitches up, the pimp tries to work out a compromise which makes no one happy -- though he's still sitting pretty because the bitches are still working to get him money, and frankly the first prostitute wasn't exactly profitable anyway. Of course the snitch gets away without a scratch. And, as always, no matter who gets hurt, the pimp wins.

In the next installment, Atwa will learn to kill with her stiletto pumps.

Nah, free creators aren't whores. Besides, I don't think it's possible to be a prostitute and a pirate at the same time. You're doing what you want for you, rather than for dribblings of money from someone who controls what you do.

I considered getting miffed that, with all the problems in the world, Atwa et al spend so much time and energy on carefully creating and nurturing melodrama over a game. Then I realized that if they didn't have this, they'd cause problems elsewhere. So, um, yay for Sims 2 website drama? I might even thank them for making me laugh if they weren't associated with a stinking paysite.

Wow, Atwat being atwat as usual, she used to tell me to delete all PM's because Tomass reads them, roughly translated she means "delete all evidence so when you find out what a cow I am you can't use it against me!"  I also find it quite funny that someone got banned for calling Tomass a nazi, but it's ok for his own staff to make racist remarks about Germans.

Ehh, Thomass, shoudn't the person you're closest with be somebody else, like your wife!!!??!

Also, way to go, Thomass. Keeping her hanging, stringing her along. She does that because she's in love with you and has no life and you do that because she works for free for your company.  Really really classy, that is. Way to go, Thomass.  >:(

Ok you can make fun of this woman, but she's just being used plain and simple. A person like Thomas will keep her paranoid like this and relying on him because she will NEVER leave and will do all kinds of shit she would probably never do in real life. It's allmost a kind of abuse. Using someone's addiction for your own purposes.
Don't get me wrong, she's an adult, probably highly educated and fully responsible for all the shit she does to people, but I think that without TSR she would have been an entirely different person, and probably not so used to the scheming and hating of random people who are 'out to get her'. She'd be too busy working.

We're used to much coarser language here. Even though we don't usually curse here, we feel that a few well-placed expletives are better in a sentence than left out altogether.

So, pirates, who do you think is Coconut? My money is on DOT.  ;D
Even if it is not her, I'm trying to fan the flames the best I can, as we know TSR spies read here regularly.

If only she did act like a normal person when she is 'busy working', sadly a lot of the abuse and death threats I got from her came from her works ip until I banned both her home and works ip from my site.  what is even more unhealthy about this woman, is the fact she works as a nurse, and yet can be so light hearted about someones brain tumor.

Funnily enough Courtney they all seem to have started out as her "friends" that then turn on her when they finally see through her act and there I speak from experience!  She described me today to the person she was accusing for the past 2 weeks of being cocnut as another sherrie and obviously she was wrong about them being cocnut because it has to be me!

I am so glad we banned her from our site...

Yep, well she's a nurse, she deals with sick people on a daily basis. If she can make jokes like this, she has real issues. Ofcourse in the working place you need to 'unload' from all the stress and it's a hard job dealing with patients worries and the hard work. Somtimes you make a little fun of the patients where they can't hear it, among the other professionals, innocent fun. But it's not normal to have such disregard for a serious ailment and use it against someone who really has it, especially if you're in the medical field.
She'll just take whatever ails the person she momentarily hates, WHATEVER with no regard of what is ethical or reasonable, and just uses it against them behind their backs in gossip or straight in the face. She believes it to be 100% justified, because these people are worthless for 'being after her', worthless for being pirates, worthless for being whatever she doesn't like. She will not feel ashamed or sorry at all, forget about it. In her eyes, they deserve it.
If her hospital  management would find out she makes fun of people with brain tumors, she'd probably be in trouble. She sure as hell would be in Holland.  Especially being a nurse, that's just wrong and honestly gives me chills.

Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Anouk on 2008 April 19, 22:40:21
Well from my internship I've learned that especially in the psychiatric field, when the door closes, the nurses giggle away and tell stories. I can imagine that there's not alot to laugh about in the operating room. *giggle giggle* "We took out mrs. M's appendix today *giggle*
... Yeah
You can't ever let what other nurses tell you about a patient let you get a prejudice against that patient. If you cannot be a professional and you let stories influence you, you should tell the others to just stfu. Also when something annoys you or it's disrespectfull, you should tell the other to stfu. The places I worked at, there was always room for that. It's good for the working climate if you can talk about anything, but also if you don't have to hear everything. If a nurse talks about another patient with another patient, they're usually fired, depending on what's told. They can be prosecuted.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Dina D on 2008 April 19, 22:53:24
yes, you would be in trouble here as well, especially if a family member overheard.  Yes, we talk about patients, but never make light of what they have.  I have seen so many bad things in the OR.  Many people die, many people suffer and many familys hurt.  When that patient goes to sleep, we lighten the mood in the room, but never at the patients expense, at least that has been my experiences over the last 23 years of nursing.

Post by: Saraswati on 2008 April 19, 22:56:57
There IS a culture of that among some nurses I talk to.. (I work in an IT department of a state health system) but it's just a coping strategy to get through some things, and it's never in earshot of the patients.

Post by: Anouk on 2008 April 19, 22:58:43

I don't want to know who Coconut is, I want her/him to stay firmly implanted in the world of TSR. They are our front line!
Collecting hard evidence that the woman.. the lying conniving CRIMINAL, is doing this just to keep her stature, and apparently all of us, just hate her for it because we are so jelous of the closeness she has with one of the biggest pricks in the Sims 2 Community. Where does Atwat get her delusion from?

The brain tumor thing was just an ignorant, low blow. I'm frankly not surprised she'd say that, based on other really awful things she's said in the past. And the best part? We don't have to make her look like an idiot - she does that all by herself.

Sounds to me like she's been living in the basement of TSR for too long, she no longer knows what is real and what is fake. Face it, Atwat, your creations are real shit. Your talent is fake and so is your personality. If a rabid gutter slime can be said to HAVE a personality. It's people like you that give hyenas a bad name. Such blatant stupidity and arrogance and callous disregard cannot be blamed upon your natural intelligence, therefore I conclude that you have eroded what you were born with by using drugs combined with cleaning fumes and eating waaaay too much paste. I could give my cat an Etch a Sketch and she'd come up with better looking content than you. If you love Thomass that much, just demand that he leave his wife for you and live happily ever after... If you are true soul-mates as you seem to think you are, he'll be only too happy to do it. Stupid twits, the both of you. And by the way, my grandmother was half German and on behalf of her, I will say that you are an ignorant lout that works for a totalitarian regime and wouldn't know quality if it bit you in your generous ass.

You cannot trust yourself - you are part untrustworthy German.  :D But hey, you make it clear who is a Teutonic Twat, and you do it in public - there's something dirty about racist remarks via PM, but Atwat doesn't seem to mind muddying up her soul.  Fine with me - amusing, plus, not my soul.

I don't know what went wrong with bayimg, but it's good that we all have it now - they try the trick of getting things deleted from imageshack (like the infamous Neptune Suzy make all FAs pay post) - just so long as we make it clear that those things spread, and will be on more people's computers more of the time, all is well.

I'm not German or even half German. Guess I have to settle for being just half Austrian which is pretty annoying to share actually, I usually get asked if I knew Steve Irwin... how the hell do they translate Austria into Australia?! Those things don't even SOUND alike, aside from the "austr" and maybe "ia", that's all. Where was I? Oh yeah.

About Atwa, I've been reading about her since before I signed up to the phorum and I have to say, she really felt familiar in some way, like I knew her in the real world and then the terrible truth dawned on me. I don't know her but there are other people out there who act exactly like that. A relative of mine and Atwa have so much in common that it's scary, I remember going to my relative's house one day and looking through her cups to make sure she didn't have a TSR mug, just to make sure that they are truly different people.

If I hadn't snagged the NeptuneSuzy screenie at S2C, none of us would have it - and someone anal isn't always around.  :D

Agree with you alia to an extent

You can not trust someone who you do not know..and Coconut is obviously here under a disguise of sorts so they can freely talk and show TSR gossipies. What he/she is telling us is interesting and important - we can simply observe this and watch what happens at TSR

Exactly. The things Coconut is posting are interesting, but you should not mistake them for the whole truth.
So, I'm eagerly awaiting what they'll post next, but I will not take it all at face value and neither should you.
("You" in this sentence not directed at Jojoba but at pirates in general.)

Last but not least: I WANT TO SEE BLOOD! I WANT TO *BATHE* IN THEIR BLOOD! I WANT TO BATHE IN THEIR BLOOD FOR A WEEK!
Would not the blood be rather smelly and crusty after a week? Blood has the tendency to congeal pretty fast.

I've been wondering, are these messages coconut is posting from an email/IM from Nitwit, or was she stupid enough to put it in a private forum? Just kinda occured to me that if it was a IM, then nitwit probably has the intellectual fortitude to work out who coconut actually is. Or am I mistakingly thinking she errs more on the line of stupid rather than conniving? :-\

Well, I was more thinking that that was an email, or PM, possibly to coconut.  The other thing though, is I couldn't help but notice the title had RE at the beginning, like Atwa was replying to someting sent to her.  I'd like to see what coconut sent to Atwa as well.

Yeah if it is an IM then coconut has really burned all his/her bridges at TSR. Unless it has the oppposite effect and this is teh final nail in Atwats hidiously recoloured egyptian themed coffin.

Is it bad that I feel kinda bad for her?  She looks all kinds of crazy in that pm, not to mention it really solidifies that she is easy to manipulate.  It was clear as day Thomas is taking advantage of her, but somehow coconut managed to do so too. 

She needs to step away from the computer to get some sunlight and fresh air.

Yeah or coconut is atwa's alter ego and they've both gone bonkers. (We need to make a petition to recognize alter-ego's as having human rights. There's so many of them!) If coconut is a dirty FA how is he/she any better than Atwa? XD

That could be possible, if Jan could come up with a dozen or so personalities, what's to stop Atwat having them, all at war with each other?

From what I can tell, she's the manipulator. She's got the "I'm so innocent" act, but from the way she treats others, she's not as sheeplike as she'd want you to believe. Although, I am easily distracted at the moment, Mythbusters Pirate special is on.

It was an IM on TSR, made in reply. It was not my IM, the person who released it to me no longer cares if she is banned from TSR. Atwa knows who this person is, but Atwa does not know who I am. Atwa is keeping quiet because pointing fingers is admitting her guilt. and finally yes, this is a genuine IM. It is not my problem to expose the owner of this IM. They may come forward themseves.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: calalily on 2008 April 20, 16:12:04
Whether or not coconut is actually Tom Ass/otherFA/*insert here*, is immaterial.  The focus shouldn't be on the person who brought the information to our attention - as they obviously aren't ready to come out and cannot thus be categorised unless and until they do - but rather on the information presented.  

Edit: as coconut stated quite succintly:
It was an IM on TSR, made in reply. It was not my IM, the person who released it to me no longer cares if she is banned from TSR. Atwa knows who this person is, but Atwa does not know who I am. Atwa is keeping quiet because pointing fingers is admitting her guilt. and finally yes, this is a genuine IM. It is not my problem to expose the owner of this IM. They may come forward themseves.

The source of the information is unknown - and the fact that whoever it was was able to coax it out of her *through whatever means* doesn't mean that instead the light we shine on coconut should be brighter than the one we shine on Atwat.  Atwat said these things - these awful things - and they didn't come from nowhere - she thought she had someone's implicit confidentiality to say the things she said, and she didn't.  

coconut could be a person like sherry (who also had the confidentiality of atwat for a small time) and may have one million reasons for not revealing themselves - and until I know, I'm not going to make a decision either way.

As for feeling sorry for her - NO WAI! She put herself in this position by dint of not stopping being a gossipy, manipulative teenage bitch who never learned that there are things you just don't say, and lengths to which you can go but will sully your own self in the process. Just because she's extra bad at it, doesn't mean she tugs at my heartstrings.  

As for thinking she's easily manipulated - so too are people who constantly try to manipulate others - it's all wheeling and dealing, and inevitably you lose out in the end.  They're not easily manipulated as such - just looking for the next toehold in their quest to dominate something really pointless.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: CaptainChris on 2008 April 20, 16:23:57

Exactly what was on my mind, except more poetic.

coconut, I wasn't implying the message was fake, I was just curious as to how it came about. The fact she dug her own grave by sending that to whoever it was made it even more sickening. I agree that if she speaks up about it and calls attention to the message, it would make her look guilty, she seems quite happy at playing the victim.

I have no sympathy for the scheming cow, because that is what she would want. She doesn't want to look like the guilty party as it would require Thomarse to take further action against her, sending TSR further down the shitter.

I'm not sure what other side we are looking for? The times she didn't slur an ethnic group, gossip about FA's or mock someone who has a very serious medical condition? This gives her some positives in Pescado's book. I've winced a few times at the outright meanness towards Atwa in this thread, and the delusional love-struck weirdness makes me feel pity on some level. No matter what good qualities she may posses, she was nasty, hateful and delusional in this PM. It's her own fault, she's a grown woman. She shouldn't be surprised that there's a long line of people who would love to supply dirt on her.

Very well said, redisenchanted.  Atwa is pathetic--literally--but it doesn't cancel out the IM.  That's one of the most degrading, ugly posts I've ever seen.  I don't tend to jump all out on anyone (exception Thomas) because everyone has done something regrettable sometime in his/her life, and I can't see the need to crucify anyone (exception Thomas).  But Atwa's done herself in with her own post.  Hoisted on her own postard, hahahaha.  (Got no sleep last night, sorry). :P

Poor Atwa. Poor, poor misunderstood Atwa. Pitiful, pathetic poor little Atwa. Nobody likes her, nobody loves her. And it's all her own damn fault. She has no compassion, kindness, honesty, integrity, humour or talent. That makes for a pretty poor excuse for a person. The intelligence that coconut has been sharing is valuable in helping to understand just what in the hell is going on over there. It's a clusterfuck just waiting to explode and I want to be warned so that I have on my flack jacket and helmet.

Guys, Coconut has an agenda. S/he obviously hates Atwa and wants to make her look bad. Coconut is not doing what s/he's doing just for the sake of gossip or lulz, s/he's doing it to destroy Atwa, and s/he's doing it by posting things behind Atwa's back.
I'm not trying to defend Atwa here, but I also don't trust Coconut, and neither should you.

Point taken. -  ;) But regardless of his or her motives, coconut did expose a side of atwa's personality that might be of particular interest to German TSR subscribers.

Ok.  I like it.  I was curious if you were the person being replied to, and if you were, what had you sent.  Thanks for sharing though.  That woman is vile, and any time I feel that pang of sadness for her, I just have to remind myself of all the terrible things she's done, and the destruction she's reaped, and the confidences she's broken, among many other things.  I appreciate the clarification though.

It is rather too late for Thomas to kick her to attempt to smooth the waves - TSR is sinking. The damage Atwa has caused in the SA ranks, in the FA ranks, the texture challenge fiasco and the damage caused by the staff's attitudes, the survey, the removing of comments, the raising of prices, the site being offline for maintenaince so regularly, the lack of regard for subscribers and normal members, is irreversible.

which reminds me - however 'ill' this has supposidly made her, not only was it fully self inflicted but to try and gain attention from it on her leaving blog is pretty sick, concidering one of the things she was booted for is joking about someones brain tumor.

Damn it! I totally missed out!
I personally don't believe she is gone for good, she will pop up somewhere sometime. All pretence aside for some sort of war, of some kind. Is that me being too paranoid?
Either way I don't know what to trust half the time in these community wars, but when someone pulls up some hard to find evidence, it doesn't really matter who they are or what the agenda is.
The truth is just there to be interpreted. I choose to interpret this recent revelation as: The stupid woman finally shot herself in the foot, beyond fixing measure. And is out for blood.
Hahaha. Either way, she's gone from TSR!

What a delightful explosion that was. I'm sure she'll pop up somewhere, there's plenty of rocks she can shimmy under in the meantime. But good sim soceity won't have her now because she'll taint the name of whatever enterprise she's involved with. She's a grown ass woman and it's about time her chickens came to roost so she'll learn how to act like one. I don't feel sorry for her, I feel sorry for the people she messed with playing her petty little games.

However, clearly she's messed with the wrong people this week.

Oh you're so right, she's not gone for good, she may be gone on the surface, but rest assured she's still very busy on her PM stirring the pot. This way not only do we see the back of her, but can sleep well at night in the knowledge she's still destroying TSR from within as always  ;D  We got the best of both worlds!

Woohoo! Atwat's gone from TSR! I'm so happy I could renew my sub!  NOT!   Only 14 days left and I am free of TSR!
Party Hearty Mateys! 
*Just ordered moar rum and cookies*

On a serious note, could Thoma$$'s wife have given the ULTIMATUM to Thoma$$?  Is that why Atwat had to leave? Just a thought...
Since the twat is obviously in love (ewww) with the asshole, perhaps the Asshole's Wife reads the forums, here or there...  maybe she put her foot down... On his throat, I hope.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: sherrie on 2008 April 21, 02:14:44
Its possible, but I doubt it because Thomas's wife has actually met Atwat, so I would think the thought of grandma trout desperatly lusting after her husband would be the cause of more joking teasing and piss taking then any kind of rivalry.

It's more possible that she was fired for plotting against the FA's, bribing the SA's, racist remarks about Germans, leaking what the FA's are paid, lying, cheating, causing riots, paranoia to the extreme, falsly accusing everyone of piracy, informing everyone what Thomass was thinking (before he even thought it) and single handedly flushing TSR down the toilet where it belongs.. Take your pick!

I read your post at forum few hours ago, but I still don't know what to write.

there is no post on the forum, so he/she is either refering to one of atwats back stab PM's or atwats forum post was deleted for some reason. Either way she's bitching big time!

Atwa's a liar. Or drunk. Or maybe both. She's not gonna leave the Sims community. I'm sure she's got some ideas going through her head.....

a. Hunt down Thomas and punish him because didn't he know she's Queen of TSR???
b. Join a sims community with another alias, make some drama, then announce she's "the artist formerly known as" Atwa from TSR, thinking they'll all worship her.
*c. Join up with Peggy because hey....with Peggy's gaply goodness and Atwa's retina-burning pixels, they'll surely become millionaires!

Ah, good times, good times. *waits patiently with rum and choco chip cookies*  :D

I will say this: Atwa better stay away from the German sims forums - you KNOW that her PM has got to be there too, and I can't imagine they'll let her leave alive. Birgit and the TTs must be just TICKLED that she's gone.

I was catching up, since I got in this Sims tunnel-vision this weekend (which is odd, all last week I was feeling bored with the game).
So, pirates, who do you think is Coconut? My money is on DOT.  ;D
Even if it is not her, I'm trying to fan the flames the best I can, as we know TSR spies read here regularly.
I actually really like DOT, even though she's on the wrong side. She gives me the giggles.

Personally I think she is "braindead". Like Hecubus I am german, only I am all german, not just half, and I take serious offense to that remark.
Ask Paden, I am one of the most trustworthy people you will ever meet. You can tell me your deepest darkest secret and I will NOT tell another soul....................then again I have short-term memory problems,  ;D

Post by: WedgewoodBlue on 2008 April 22, 12:08:01
Wow, I am very nearly speechless with joy. But I am curious as to know if she was "fired" by the love of her life, Thoma$$.
After all "love hath no fury like a woman scorned" (or however that goes). If she does show up somewhere and starts spewing all her crap, it should be interesting to see how she explains everything, if indeed she ever does.
It is kind of sad in a way to see her meltdown, so to speak, but on the other hand, it's long overdue. Karma, it's a bitch when things like that catch up with you. Then again, she made her bed, now she has to lay in it. She slept with dogs, and woke up with fleas. (No disrespect intended to any dog, it's the only thing I can remember my dad always telling me.)

Who said "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"?

 
While many attribute the quote to William Shakespeare,
it actually comes from a play called the "The Mourning Bride" (1697) by William Congreve.
The complete quote is:
"Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned / Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned."

That would be cool  :D although I certainly don't need any more 'proof' to believe him/her. I was at TSR when coconut first posted here, and everything he/she posted was true. some of it I didn't know beforehand, but atwat confirmed it at the time as being true and some of it was things she said only certain people knew, I'd never seen TSR so rattled, they were in full panic mode. Unfortunatly coconuts posts disappeared shortly after in the blue soup deletion, much to the twatty ones amusement. and he/she never came back. This time again, the intel seems to be spot on. they told us to expect FA's leaving, which they have, and also I know from reading the PM post that atwa has never changed, the things in that post is the same shit she's been spilling for years, even down to the  'delete this PM' warning. Atwats firing was just confirmation of the obvious. TSR had no option but to fire her this time, they wouldn't want the paying public to know they have racist staff. They will tell the sheep she retired due to illness, and sweep the whole nasty PM under the rug.

There are a LOT of possibilities..the most plausible? She throws a tantrum everytime Thomas threatens her with anything and puffs herself up bigger than she is, and since he's a spineless scumbag with the IQ of a half dead seaflea, he just caves in. The most entertaining? is that she performed oral sex on him once and to prevent it from happening it again, he does what she pleases. Because somehow she got his address and phone number, ala Glen Close from Fatal Attraction.

How can an earth-shaking Brontosaurus be said to stalk anything? I picture Atwat as looking somewhat like Dino from the Flintstones, only more garishly coloured and much, much bigger. Not to mention meaner and more stupid. That's just what comes to mind when I remember seeing her picture. Those tiny turtles had better quake in their shells because while normal brontos were herbivores. Atwat has a mouth like a T-rex. On another note, I've heard you need a mouth that size to kiss her ass, so she and Tommy boy are suited to each other. It's true, the bigger your ego, the larger your ass. She sits on her ego all of the time!

Hello! Newbie hear! Lurker for a while though!

Just thought I'd point out that atwat no longer has artisit manager or featured artist or any of that bull on her forum status, no idea if someone else has mentioned it yet as I haven't had a chance to read all the loverly threads about TSR (lol), but thought it'd be good to point it out so you can all point and laugh...

I have heard from a little birdie, that Atwa's back at TSR......no surprise, really.....but she is there now under a new name and with TSR blessings...although, I did hear a couple of FA's are bitchin about it, don't blame them, poor things.

But she appears to be back for round 2. sigh. You guys may already know this. Hehe, you guys have eyes everywhere, hehe.

Not sure what name she is using now....anyone think they can find out?

Should be easy enough to figure it out. Just follow the fugly and fighting and in the midst of it all you'll find Atwat.

Of course she'd be back - this is her stomping ground.  As for TSR blessings - well if FAs want moneys, they have to pay the price - one price is us, and the other price is Atwat. I don't feel sorry for them at all - they chose to be there, and they continue to choose to be there. They don't actually have to put up with it - they've made enough money, I'm sure, to pay for one year's hosting.

As for why won't she just leave - she's too valuable to Tom Ass - he doesn't want those FAs too happy, or feeling like they've got it made - he wants them to work for their spots.  If they're happy they won't produce as prolifically in order to try to gain favour, and might start demanding more stuff from him. This is of course, a fine line, but you can always promote an SA to the position if an FA implodes.  That's why they have SAs.

Otherwise, it serves his purposes to keep the infighting going - they all come to him like sheep rounded up by a nipping dog - and he is their shepherd.  And if they all gang up together and get rid of Atwat, they might start demanding more money or scrutinise TSR more - and that's the last thing he wants.

God daaaammit! I'm not surprised, either, but that doesn't mean I'm not pissed off. The fact that she's apparently not creating is just a minor reprieve from the full spectrum of horror that she dishes out. I think Thomass is under the impression that since Aikea & Gelydh are gone, the anti-Atwat camp may have settled down enough to allow her to return relatively unhindered. Well, considering her general pattern of behavior, I give it a month or two at most before the movement regains its momentum. Down with Atwat!

Please, please tell me someone can get that new name, and soon.

I'm sure she'll give herself away soon, someone that is so ugly deep down inside can't contain it for long. It will burst forth like a sore upon the hind end of a troll... Oh wait, she's a company employed troll... Well, she'll just leak out all over the place who she is and what she is because something that nasty can't be hidden. Just look for the newest and ugliest shit uploaded by a very new member, if she can't resist the command to keep them to herself.

What's the point of all this shit?

Is ThomA$$ actively seeking ways to destroy TSR from within?  Not that I'm complaining, but it makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Atwat must have some dirt on ThomA$$ - why else would he keep her around?  As someone said before, I doubt it's for the head anymore..

Edit: How exactly do we know she is BeaSims?  And if so, how can she be causing trouble for FAs if she doesn't have access to that area under a "basic" creator account?

Well, to my way of thinking, if Coconut is correct and BeaSims IS Atwa, then she would not need the 'FA' title to access top admin areas....she had all that influence and access even when she had let go of her previous FA status, before she "left". So, she has access, most likely with Thomass' blessings.

Also, considering what that I'm now hearing from some FA friends I know, she is being very loud on the FA forums, saying some nasty things about specific former TSR people who left to start their own site. Those people have spurned her, so she is having a little temper tantrum, apparently. And trying to control things again, bullying people, saying whatever she wants about whomever she wants, whatever her little unstable mind throws out. She really is a major piece of work, yup.

So BeaSims IS on the FA boards?  If so, then that would pretty much confirm it's Atwat.  Why would ThomA$$ allow her back in, to cause trouble for other FA's?  Quite literally, his business revolves around the FAs.  He doesn't have to be smart to know that allowing her back in would make more FAs leave => less subscribers to TSR.

Hahahaha! That woman will bitch to her grave (she'll probably be kicking and screaming as they throw her in). I'm guessing either Naturalsims or Aikea Guinea & Gelydh - she's probably been to both sites and see they are waaaay much better then T$R (especially the latter - their site and downloads are so good) and how they seem to be survivng without their beloved T$R and isn't best pleased :D

I do. Aikea said that she complained many times about her treatment at Atwat's hands, and he didn't get rid of her the first time. Now this is despite the fact that her content was soo valuable to him, he didn't even want to stop receiving revenue for it after she left, and had to be prodded to make it free.  If he didn't champion his moneymaker the first time, why would he do so now? 

IIRC, she also said that Tom Ass had talked her out of leaving many, many times, and was surprised when she actually left. And the fact that he allowed her back is just more of his overconfidence in his ability to convince his FAs to stay. I will say that Tom Ass is very good at glossing over the failings and failures of TSR - very good at talking the place up to his customers (who buy the PG13 rule despite the smutty content here) and all the other problems.  Five times on the front intro page to TSR, the word "community" is used 5 times, yet talk of money is minimised - what is stressed instead is the "80% free content".

He relies on the carrot and the stick.  He is the carrot, Atwat is the stick. That's all she's got on him.  It doesn't have to be some *frankly* nauseating affair - just simple manipulation.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Renegade on 2008 May 29, 17:18:28
Ok, but ThomA$$ knows that FAs are getting fed up to the point of leaving, and Atwat doesn't help that.  Allowing her back does nothing but push FAs further away.  How the hell can Atwat manipulate Thomas?  No, she really must have something on him, because there is NO way she can be more valuable to him than the FAs.  TSR gets people buying subscriptions because of the "talented" FAs; once they leave, there's no longer a reason to subscribe.

After bringing back a lying, crazy witch who does nothing but cause problems, how would Thomas convince his FAs to stay, short of offering more money?

That's another thing.  Why don't they just tell her to stfu & gtfo?  That way ThomA$$ can keep his little whore, but she won't try bothering the FAs anymore because they'll just tell her to fuck off.  It would be incredibly difficult for her to continue causing problems if people just stopped replying to her posts on the forum, and putting her on Ignore so they don't receive her PM's..

Ok, but ThomA$$ knows that FAs are getting fed up to the point of leaving, and Atwat doesn't help that. 

2 FAs is not a lot at once.  He's gotten what, 6 or so more since then?

Cyclonesue just stepped down as AM according to aikea's post - and many of them bitch and complain, yet don't leave.  Aikea doesn't say that it's *just* Atwat that caused her to leave. She makes it explicitly clear that it wasn't just Atwat - but other drama around the place.

Let's not also neglect to mention that he's gotten SAs and promoted them to FAs, which may in fact be paid at cheaper rates - not that I think he funnels most of the profits towards the FAs - doubtless there is a huge stipend for him.  Even if they're paid the same, it's not a cost increase.

Seeing as I doubt he plays the sims, and actively prevents any linkage to other sites for various "PG13" reasons (which taints these sites to the point where some people are no doubt afraid to even look at them) content and player desires are all unknown factors to him.  There was an outcry from some subscribers when the survey even hinted that he would remove shitty recolours - so not all of them pay because of FAs, but rather sucked in by the encouraged "community" factor.

Allowing her back does nothing but push FAs further away. 

Yet, they don't actually leave.  Despite how awful she is to them they stay - even Aikea was talked back into staying.  She might push them away, but he obviously relies on his ability to talk them back around. Carrot and stick.

TSR gets people buying subscriptions because of the "talented" FAs; once they leave, there's no longer a reason to subscribe.

Hence why there are many FAs - and many SAs to fill in the gaps.  They promote someone quite frequently - so he always has backup.  It's also less important for him to have backup now that Sims 2 is winding down.  Their quality may not be fantastic in Sims 3 - many people had difficulty learning something new and maintaining a high standard when transitioning from Sims 1 into Sims 2 - so there's no guarantee he'll want those FAs when Sims 3 comes around. And why should he when he can lock the content away as pay sometime later?

After bringing back a lying, crazy witch who does nothing but cause problems, how would Thomas convince his FAs to stay, short of offering more money?

Chat - Aikea talked of Tom Ass talking her into staying - just his last time was unsuccessful.

I don't get it, why on earth a person should brag about living in FRANCE? That is just another european country. It's nothing to brag about.
Many europeans do indeed speak french, and english, italien, deutsch and spanish. Since Europe have so many different languages, it's common to choose
a couple of languages to study, or more. I have been to France more than 1 time.  My best friend have lived in France for the last 10 years,
she has family there. *brags - feel damm big about it*  ;D

what else is matter with her?







Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: glasscigarette on 2008 June 01, 00:42:03
Well, to many, France is considered a major center for art and culture. It's a somewhat silly but pretty common notion that anything French is somehow the most civilized, the most artistic or the most...fancy-schmancy, for lack of a better term. Whether or not that is Atwat's motivation for loving the country, I don't know.

That said, however, I don't think it's that odd to have a deep love for a particular nation. There are plenty of people out there who have never been to Japan, but drool over anything Japanese. A good friend of mine (the infamous S'Mores Girl) adores everything related to The Netherlands. To a less obsessive degree, I personally think it's fun to listen to people who speak with German accents, and I have a deep love for the U.S. Pacific Northwest, where I grew up. ;)

Still, that doesn't give anyone the right to act like an idiot about their interests or to behave in a pompous manner just because they speak a certain language or live in a particular locale.

I suppose that's true, but I don't believe her first language is English. I don't know a whole lot of slang for genitals in, say, Portuguese or Korean and if I were attempting to post in a thread in one of those languages, I could easily end up accidentally calling myself something that sounded very similar to "hairy albino monkey testicles"...but then again, I don't speak any Portuguese or Korean so that might not be the best example.

Ugh, it sounds like I'm defending Atwat! I give, Kragey, I give! ;)

Please, please tell me someone can dig up those photos. I could use a giggle.

Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: glasscigarette on 2008 June 01, 03:01:27
If you mean the Black family, those are diff Sims. Her "son" is shown flirting with someone named Janice on the sidewalk, and the couch scene is her daughter and another Sim named Sam. Both of her dark-haired offspring seem to have the hots for redheads, so that's probably where the confusion begins.

Even without the element of incest the weird bondage-esque quasi-goth thing is a little disturbing when presented in this bland, broken manner.

If I was going to name myself or someone in my family something, and it was meant to sound like an "actual name" (like Barbara or Cheryl) instead of the average forum user's "just words" name (like "Blue Coconut" or "Angel Dust"), I'd check it over a bit. I found out several years after getting my cat that the name I'd given her means something dirty in an African language. T_T

Google imaging "atwa" gets you lots of images of body builders and Near Eastern officials. I LOLed.

I once opened an account for a Mr. Sik On Yu. I'm sure it's a perfectly normal name in Korean, but sounds terrible in English. Granted, that was the man's actual name. Unless Atwa is a diminutive form of Anita (like Masha/Mariya), it doesn't seem like Atwat can use that excuse.

See? It's easy to do things like that. Of course, if you were posting on a site that was written primarily in that African language, you probably would do some research before you named yourself that, just to be safe.

My aunt named her cat "Punani" because she confused it with the Hawaiian name "Puanani," which means beautiful flower. Her husband (who is Hawaiian, BTW) told her what it actually meant at Thanksgiving dinner almost a year later.

I vaguely recall Sherrie or somebody discovering that Atwa was a Charles Manson reference.

Apparently it is. The idea behind it is actually kind of cool, but the origin is disturbing. I looked it up on Wikipedia and, assuming that the source is accurate, this is what it means:

Quote
ATWA is an acronym for "Air, Trees, Water, Animals" and "All The Way Alive." It was first termed by Charles Manson in the early 1970s. The name represents the life support system of the Earth. Charles Manson and his associates, most notably Lynette Fromme and Sandra Good, use the term to name the force of life and the opposition to that which destroys the ecological balance of the Earth.

"ATWA" it's also a System of a Down song, a little fact I had forgotten until I read it since the term "ATWA" is never actually used in the song. I really like Serj Tankian.

Oh, and the opening lyrics are rather fitting for our dear TSR slut: "Hey you, see me, pictures crazy." Bwahahahaha!

He waited because it was funnier that way.  ;D

And yeah, her real name is Anita. As in the Bart Simpson "Anita Bath" prank call, or perhaps, in this case, Anita Newhobby. Or maybe Anita Talent. Yeah, I think I'm going with that one.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: alia on 2008 June 01, 11:15:44
Well, I would not put too much thought into the name Atwa. Names are funny that way, you name something in one language and it is something awful in some other language. For example, in Finland we have this magazine called "A Fan of Cats", i.e. "Kissafani". Mr Smartypants' British friends found it hilarious, but I did not realise what was so funny until they explained it. I still don't go around giggling when I see the mag, since it's just a magazine about cats for me, no matter how rude it is in English.

Also, sometimes even big companies get it wrong. From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitsubishi_Pajero):
Quote
The Mitsubishi Pajero is a sport utility vehicle manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors. It is known as the Mitsubishi Montero in the Americas (except Brazil) and Spain, and as Mitsubishi Shogun in the United Kingdom. It was named after a mountain cat that inhabits the Patagonia plateau region in southern Argentina. However, the name Montero (meaning "mountain warrior") was adopted in Spanish language markets because Pajero is a slang term for "wanker".

Not to mention the Chevy Nova. It didn't do well in Spanish-speaking countries, because "no va" means "no go."

I found out several years after getting my cat that the name I'd given her means something dirty in an African language. T_T

Oh, please tell us!

Her name is "Simmis" (pronounced "Sim-me"). We got her from another family when she was still a kitten, and they thought she was a boy and named her "Simba." When we suddenly found out she was a girl, it was a bit late to give her a whole new name, so we just feminized it. Apparently, "Simmis" means "sex slave" or "prostitute" in a certain African language. (Can't remember which one, though.)

Like I said, if I had researched a bit, I'd know that it's a bad name. It's not like I named her after an actual noun or adjective (like Snowball, or Fluffy), I just pulled something out of my ass that sounded "like an actual name" and now I'm stuck with it. =P So I have little sympathies for how "perfectly" Atwa named herself.

Again, it's different if your name is an actual word or name in your language and just happens to mean something bad in another language. Whatever. But if you're just pulling a bunch of stuff out of your butt to make it sound exotic, you deserve what you get. I'll accept the Charles Manson acronym crap, but that doesn't make it any less hilarious to me.

Well, both look forced, but I was thinking Thomass. Atwat looks more like she's desperately trying to hide that she's crying by laughing instead. As if Thomass was holding a gun to her back and going "Smile for the camera, bitch", and she had to do some "Baaaw-he-he-he-he I'm so HAPPY! Making floodfilled creations is FUN! SUBSCRIBE TO TSR AND YOU TOO CAN BE AS HAPPY AND HARMONIC AS I AM!"

After that, Thomass would put her back in her cage an-.... well, the theory is flawed really, as I don't see why anyone would keep her for advertising your website, especially not going through the trouble of using a gun. Let's just say she's crying of happiness because that's the closest she's ever been to a man (I'm pretty sure he's a man), and leave it at that.

Gah! That photo keeps haunting me.

I always assumed her cry/laugh thing was because she's so in love/awe with Thoma$$ that the fact of meeting him was enough to bring her to tears.

Thoma$$' expression is more along the lines of wanting the moment to end, and for Grandma Moses to get away from him. I almost feel sorry for him, then I remember he's a scumsucking whore.

Actually, she supposedly isn't crying in that picture.  When I looked through her blog while reading through this thread, I read that the camera flash is what made her eyes like that.  Do I buy that explanation? No.  It does indeed look as if she is so happy to be with the love of her life; she also looks slightly deranged.  Must be the hair.

As for ThomA$$: to me, he looks as if a giant, splinter-ridden tree stump was shoved up his rear, and he is trying as hard as he can to look pleasant for the shot.  Of course, we all know that this scenario cannot possibly make him feel "pleasant"; rather, it makes him feel quite aroused.  How's that for a mental picture? ;)

I don't think this is the case of, completely superficially saying "Jesus that woman looks like she's batshit crazy". We all know her to some extent, or at least know the manipulations and bitchery she is capable of. Therefore her ugliness and bitterness comes out and that's probably what we see when we see this creature trying to desperately hold on to her only reason for living: Thoma$$ and TSR.
We pity and despise her, or at least I do. I support humanity and see no humanity in her, just ass kissing and elitist behaviour.

If she is reading this and saying "Oh you don't know me at all! You just see how I treat my enemies! My enemies ..beware my craziness!"
It's just worse. She's a grown woman who needs to chill the fuck out and realise this is just a game. You do not support a community by strangling it, or causing drama between people so she could relish the attention. If she wants to be on TSR's side and make money peddling her shitty meshes, fine. Whatever. We are just "ripping her off", like she is ripping off others. But the way she sees it, she's allowed to. While, we are not.

Uh-Huh.

More news on Atwa, she has a lot to say for herself recently. She is saying that she is still quietly being paid on her Atwa creations, ( for the subscribers downloads)  as an FA, even though her status has been "officially" revoked. She also says that in addition, her Beasims account counts alongside in the same way, so she's also earning money from that. Thomas had promised her that he would quietly "fast track" her status to SA, and then to FA,  it wasn't happening fast enough for her, so she enlisted detimgi to fight her corner for the SA promotion. That plan has been put on hold for a few weeks, partially because she told everyone who she really is, however the ones she didn't tell were suspicious anyway, how many new artists at TSR have a minisite straight from the start, Just one!  She also claims to still have power inside TSR,  many think that claim is bullshit from a desperate has-been, others think she's still got some hold over Thomas, indeed, the fact of  him putting TSR and it's MODS/FA's at risk by still having a proven racist, "site killer"  twat and all in all shit stirrer on the payroll, has certainly got tongues wagging within the ranks.

   I have been talking to someone from TSR who tells me they have quite a few PM's and mails from Atwa also containing racist remarks, and general bitchery towards other TSR artists. They are seriously considering releasing them.

I have been doing some crude calculations based on figures from the TSR site.

Since November 4 2006, Sims2Sisters have had a hair mesh file downloaded 8260 times.

If that number indicates 8260 individual subscribers, and if they have paid for 2 months sub only, in 40 days TSR have raked in at least 73,927 dollars (I am in uk, I don't have dollar sign on my keyboard).

But some were making more? How was the ranking system there? Who got more punch power? And BTW.. you are awesome! :D

I suspect there may have been exceptions to the cap, but in all honesty I don't know.  All I do know is that neither myself nor Gelydh ever got even close to that much, though I know many FAs do.  (Object creators would generally be making more than clothing creators just based on how 'incentives' were figured.)

Just for the record, we were never offered more money if we stayed.  It wouldn't have made a damn bit of difference if we had been, but I thought I'd point that out.   ;)

I know of one FA who told me that it was around $250/month, really not worth it.  This FA made objects.

Aikea_guinea - you are awesome and much better than TSR. 

I third that Geyldh shoud post moar!   You rock  ;D

Am I assuming you'd have to meet a quota to get a certain amount of money? If you have a full time job and no quota, $250 a month wouldn't be bad pocket change. But if you have to get a certain number of CC items, well...that really wouldn't be much at all.

Kragey, I explained how FAs are paid over here (http://phorum.mustnotbenamed.com/index.php/topic,1808.msg92257.html#msg92257).   :)

You were expected to release X amount of sets a month, I think it was something like one a week.  If you didn't, you ran the risk of being 'demoted,' though it didn't happen very often.  Regardless, I personally still felt a huge pressure to release things as often as I could.

She also claims to still have power inside TSR,  many think that claim is bullshit from a desperate has-been, others think she's still got some hold over Thomas, indeed, the fact of  him putting TSR and it's MODS/FA's at risk by still having a proven racist, "site killer"  twat and all in all shit stirrer on the payroll, has certainly got tongues wagging within the ranks.

I have been talking to someone from TSR who tells me they have quite a few PM's and mails from Atwa also containing racist remarks, and general bitchery towards other TSR artists. They are seriously considering releasing them.

You wonder what she does have over him...I know from my experience in the whole Atwat/TSR/ThomAss drama back in April, he blatantly lied to me, he denied half of what she did, and then tried to tell me some stupid bullshit that the PM Coconut posted was all fabricated.  He then told me that if I continued to spread bad will in the community he would wipe TSR clean of me...he point blank told me to shut up, that I could call it a dictatorship or whatever I wanted, but I was to shut up. ::) Whatever ThomAss....oh and ThomAss...FUCK YOU and your Atwat too!!

Wow, talk about a informative thread, I had absolutely no idea all this was going down in TSR's so-called "community". Maybe because I only visit it to see what to download from the booty...  :D

One n00b question though what is the TC fiasco? I saw mentions of it here and there (yes, I searched for it but I guess I phail at searching), but I'd like to know what went down and how atwat was involved in it?

I don't recall the story itself - but to start us off, "TC" stands for Texture Challenge. You'll notice at TSR that many people will do recolors in the same texture(s), Atwat among them. Now, can someone else pick up the story?

I second that! That would be awesome!

Wasn't the Texture Challenge (TC) explained in this thread? Or was it in the TSR thread? Sorry, I'm too busy to search for it.
Atwat threw a hissy fit, or something?

Anyways, it was explained short time ago in here somewhere... I think.  :P

I just reread this thread, and did a search...Its been mentioned, but never explained.
*Ahem* "The 'TC Fiasco', as seen by DaBusch"
(I could be wrong in places, as I was never a big player in the TC...I came and went. ;)) You all know of the TC thread over at TSR, right? Its full of Mods now, but last year there was little to no mod interference--odd, since we were constantly off-topic ;) Atwat was a constant contributor, unofficially thought of as the 'leader' of the thread (mostly pushed on by her, always telling others what to do >:(). NOTE: most of the TC artists got better over time--not counting atwat. I doubt she ever tried. ANYWAY, in December of last year, the Mods abruptly closed the thread, and pissed a lot of people off. They tried to hide the argument between the TCers and the mods, and deleted the threads where we badmouthed them. I think it was during all this that Daggs(<3) called Thomas a nazi. The mods decided to open the thread again with some new rules and 'new artists'(at first all mods :() in the new year, and after around a month or two the 'originals' left and most went to Natural Sims (there's another site too, but I don't remember what it's called).

Yup. I'm missing a lot though. This is my story of what happened, the actual SA's involved have a lot more to say on the subject. Man, T$R sucks.

EDITED: Because I just royally suck at using this 'interweb' thing

Thanks Squooshy ;) I got sick of Atwat's antics around TC 50 too.

We also used the Yahoo group to continue our game. Which we still play, only now its by OUR rules. Which are incredibly flexible. :D

Atwat's view of the whole thing was hilarious. Her pitiful rants are still around somewhere. ;)

Offhand, I remember that there were about a dozen posts from Atwat saying the same thing. Something along the lines of:

"Well...the mods don't like me...they never had...they're all against me and they hate the close relationship I share with Thomas...they're just jealous..."

Or something. What is it with her and her excessive 'dot dot dot -ing' , anyway? :D


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Dina D on 2008 June 09, 17:39:55
I am that person Squooshy is referring to about the PM's because she was dragging Natural Sims into the whole mix...The TC fiasco and Riverwillows fiasco aren't even the same fiasco...The yahoo group was created for the TC'ers as Squooshy can attest to...but one didn't have anything to do with the other.  Natural Sims provided a home for the TC'ers who were part of that yahoo group that wanted to have another outlet for their creativity besides TSR.   What I had a problem with, is Squooshy was lumping ALL the people at Natural Sims into one group...one that loved and kissed Atwat's ass...which was far from the truth (God knows I don't like that Twat!!)...a truth that I was merely pointing out....Also, the TC fiasco is not what brought Atwat down...but as we all know it was all a rouse anyway...

Atwat, you could use some real therapy. You're in immoral manipulative bitch that needs to be isolated from the rest of humanity before you infect everyone else with your rapid thirst for power. You have all the talent of a drunken monkey that is missing three fourths of its brain and smokes crack in between hits on a bong filled with the purest of hashish.

Thomass, you have all the brain power of an evolved one-celled organism with cretinism. Your morals are below what is considered high standard for a snake during mating season and your management skills make the Enron CEO look like Ghandi. If ever the milk of human kindness existed, you certainly have never tasted it, instead you must have been fed on nothing but pure bile as an infant.

Both of you deserve the other and I truly hope that your wife finds out. And Atwat, I really hope that you are removed from your nursing position, given the lack of empathy and discretion that you display to those that are ill. May it come back to bite you in the ass three fold for now and forever. It would do both of you some good to pull your heads out of your asses and understand the legalities and the moralities of what you're doing.

What a deluded sad pathetic viper.
She is going for the Thomas dollar considering he can't read, or won't read since he has his head shoved up his ass.
Everything he reads must be second-handed given to him, because if he is reading this forum, and get misinformation from that bag of shit, why the fuck is he keeping her on?

What Riverwillows did was say some things, in confidence with other members of the Yahoo Group, and someone within the Yahoo Group repeated it outside of the group.  What was said is irrelevant.  The problem was that someone shared what was said, when all members had agreed that things said there were to be kept strictly between the members.  Thus, those not actively participating in the group discussions were removed from the member list.  The removals had nothing to do with Atwa - the removals were of people not active in the group since the summer.


Hi. I decided to come out of the my little corner of lurking in the hold of the ship, and say hi. First of all, I wish to state for the sole benefit of those at TSR who believe otherwise, I am NOT a pirate.  I don't plan to be a regular contributor, tho I do find this site and it's info intriguing.

I do believe, however, that everyone has a right to their opnion. Your site has a right to exist and what you do, is not for me or anyone else to judge. If  people don't approve of what you do, then they should stay away. The internet is a free place. If you don't like certain parts of it, then stay away from them. It's not like you are advocating violence or actual harm to anyone. To quote Voltaire: “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”. To that effect, TSR also has a right to exist and do what they do. It's all up to Karma in the end, really.

Now, that said, I wish to say that RedHeadRose hit it on the nose. The "Riverwillows Fiasco", as you call it (hey, I'm famous!) had nothing to do with the TC or Atwa. To summarize, I was jumped by JSF (Judy) for using elements on a wall I had done, that she said were "hers". She sent me a rather arrogant pm on TSR. I replied that I had found that exact element on the web, and even sent the exact link so she could see it. She wrote back, not an apology, but basically saying, Well, ok, but don't let it happen again. Which made me mad. I was already (regrettably) involved in the TC fiasco, and still smarting from the emotional upheaval THAT caused, and I vented to what had been established as a safe place to rant and vent and get things off your chest - the Yahoo group. Well, someone there decided to copy and paste what I said and sent it to Judy. It was THAT breach of confidence that caused us to break up the Yahoo group, and migrate to Natural Sims, because we had no idea who the 'rat' was, and all future opinions were now at risk of being exploited. The removals were part of a general cleanup, and happened coincendently at the same time, (actually, it had started a few days before the "incident") but had nothing to do with it. We just cleared out people who had not posted in a long while, and had been considered "gone".

I will say now, that I didn't mean what I said, I was mad and already stressed out, and just needed to vent. I am really sorry it hurt Judy. I have nothing against her.

I will say, at the risk of angering certain other people, that as far as Anita being disliked by many now who were her supporters before, is that she started making statements on private forums of TSR, that certain people were this informer/pirate, or that informer/pirate, and just going out of control with her opinions and accusations about these people.  It got back to those people, who realized what a self serving backstabber she really was, and decided not to have anything more to do with her. She then tried to secretly infiltrate the group these people were on, and got caught. That was the nail in her coffin. She continues to make wild accusations about these people, and they are baseless, and untrue, but there are some who apparently believe her enough to keep the bad feelings going. In my opinion, she truly is a nasty piece of work. But hey, Karma will tell in the end. I just hope I'm far away when it does...lol.

I still contribute to TSR, however, any mesh I recolor is free, I will no longer link to/use any pay meshes.

I do not know who Coconut is, and I cannot confirm/deny stuff she says, as I am not privvy to the forums she is, but she seems to be well placed, and I have heard stuff she has stated confirmed by others. And Squooshy, I have no idea who you are either, but I'm not sure why you dislike me...maybe I ticked you off somehow, maybe I made a careless statement, and unknowingly caused your animosity, I have no idea. I really wish you'd come out to me privately, and confront me, get it out in the open, and see if we can't maybe fix this apparent rift. Whatever it was, I'm sure we can act like responsible adults and come to an agreement. Nurtured grievences are just not healthy. There is enough childish behavior as it is flying around this community, it doesn't serve any beneficial purpose.

That is all I have to say. I appreciate your letting me post, and wish everyone here well in life and simming.

Heh yes. I do not really see the long term advantage for her to pretend she discovered all the smut and take credit: the thead is here, and you can see from the times of the posts that it was written before she er 'found' it all at TSR. It means she will cause further fights within the FA group, cause conflict within the staff, and at Kath - if Thomas did get rid of her and replace her with Atwa, then there is just going to be a lot more ugly stuff approved lol..and am sure she will be unreliable with it, people will get upset the submissions are taking longer, she will bitch some more, more fights with creators, etc.

It just amazes me that there's so much politics involved in a community devoted to a game. Lord Almighty, it's better than a soap opera. :) I thought some of my fandoms were the worst in that regard, but now I know differently. ;)

That said, I can't really say that I have anything against Atwa; I don't know her and haven't been involved in the community long enough to have been burned by anything associated with her or even to have had contact with her. I just got the game in March, after all. :) But if all that y'all are saying is true, then I really don't think she deserves any pity. I think she does need help, though. It seems like this game and its community are her life and that's just...well, sad.

I have to disagree too. River always makes herself out to be the victim. I don't care if jsf is from TSR and a FA. This is just plain nasty.

Nasty how?  Unless those posts are a complete lie, and the OP of them hadn't been accused of something, then it's just the plain ugly truth.

If someone was accusing me of stealing textures they say they made, when I knew I'd used them from an actual source online, I'd definitely start checking out the rest of their shit--if only to protect myself from further accusations.  If it's mean to point that sort of shit out, then perhaps it's a lesson to take a deep breath and deliberate awhile before accusing someone of being a thief.

Those posts don't make River look bad, you know.

Now if you had shared the apology, I could perhaps think River's story was a little over-the-top, but you just produced proof that River had gotten upset at being accused of stealing.  :P

Well, I will not deny I wrote those pms, because I did. As I had mentioned before, I was under immense stress and going thru the very emotional TC fiasco. I felt insulted and vented in what I thought was a private forum. Can ANY  of you say you have not done that in some way? I think not. I do regret in letting my emotions take over like that tho. But, I am only human.

This "No-Body" person is most likely the person who copied the pms, and sent them to Judy, along with other rants by others about Anita, and TSR. To me, that is the most horrible violation I can think of. It wasn't just me that it targeted. It was all the others on the group who got hurt,  and Judy got hurt too.  

No-Body, YOU are the nasty one. You obviously feel the need to bring others down, and to cause trouble. It's sad, really. What did you hope to accomplish by posting those?

Anyway, I will not reply again. I have said my piece, I've explaned my own point of view, and if No-Body/Anita Jr wants to rag on me, go ahead. The very fact she/he has those private pms, and posted them here, only proves my previous point. Get some help, hon.

Again, may you all have a good life, and happy simming.

I'm with Quinctia on this.   If you believe that you are in a private forum where you can freely express yourself, you are just blowing off steam and getting out the frustration that you feel. (I speak from experience  :P).  However, I don't think River was wrong to be frustrated and she did indicate that there were other stresses adding to this as well.   So, I choose to giver her the benefit of the doubt.  It took guts to post that here, especially when she didn't have to explain herself at all.

Thanks, River, for your posts.   I give you 150 proof rum in a pretty glass with an umbrella  ;)

I agree with Armywife & Quinctia. I have to add that after Thoma$$ and Atwat getting laid, soap operas sucks compared to TSR. Gosh. TSR is hellish.

I couldn't find the popcorn macro, so here's a substitute:

What cracked me up after I posted and started thinking about it, THIS started over someone getting mad about pixelated wallpaper patterns and making accusations over something they didn't create to begin with.  And silly me, I'm just worried about paying $4.00/gallon for gas.  ::)

I have to disagree too. River always makes herself out to be the victim. I don't care if jsf is from TSR and a FA. This is just plain nasty.
If someone was accusing me of stealing textures they say they made, when I knew I'd used them from an actual source online, I'd definitely start checking out the rest of their shit--if only to protect myself from further accusations.  If it's mean to point that sort of shit out, then perhaps it's a lesson to take a deep breath and deliberate awhile before accusing someone of being a thief.

I agree with this, and have been in similar places before. I also agree that those posts don't actually make River look bad.

And also concur that this is way better than a soap opera. Days of our Lives better watch out  ;) And at the same time, as armywife pointed out in her way, it's just as trivial as one.

Lord knows that I too, have said things in private that I probably shouldn't have and they made quite the sensation when someone posted the bloody things for God and His monkey to see, so I can see why River would be upset. I can understand why she would vent about being accused of stealing things that are equally available to everyone on the net, too. She doesn't look bad, not even close. As for who this No-Body is, they live up to their name, obviously. Hey, we've had Thomass here so it probably is his trained Howler monkey named Atwat.

I vote that it's Atwat. Looking back on the TC fiasco, now I can see how much of it was orchestrated and manipulated by her- granted the mods were asses- but Atwa made sure feelings stayed high and encouraged or even created misunderstandings behind the scenes - it didn't have to happen the way it did.

Are you serious? you think these are nasty? No_Body do you live under a rock?
If I were in any way talented enough to create wallpapers, and someone accused me of stealing them I would have had a lot more to say about it than that, and it wouldnt have been half as nice either.
I dont see how these make River look bad at all, upset yes, angry for sure, but bad? nope.

People with the atwa type personality are energy vampires.  They need to constantly have drama going on in their lives to drain others of their time, resources, and physical/mental energies.  They feel they are the victims in every situation and twist reality to justify their actions and feelings.  You'll hear them complain that they hate the spotlight and the drama but they always know just what to say to start it up again as it dies down.  They have hordes of multiple accounts to play the game and talk shit about their friends behind their backs.  Having public falling out with friends is common and fairly often.

In an interesting twist to this type of personality, perhaps to relieve some of the guilt for being so horrible, they tend to be active members of a community.  They churn out creative content in mass loads and appear to be online almost all day.  They tend to appoint themselves as leaders and overload themselves with responsibility.  They are helpful and appear to almost be too sweet/too nice, which helps them because people (the sheeple/minions) that do not know better will defend them.  What the sheeple don't know is when you finally do see the vicious streak, it's already too late.  You are in their sights and you cannot stop the assault.

Unfortunately, I have met and befriended a few of these people and they are just train wrecks.. it never ends.  Only way to not get involved in what they do is to cut them completely out of your life.. and that includes having to ban them from all your livejournals/emails/im accounts/etc because they will harass you!

The oompa-loompas at TSR know darn well that Atwa didn't initiate the anti-smut thing.  They know we did, and I for one know they've seen our evidence.  If Atwa is claiming credit for that, not only is she a hypocrite but will obviously do ANYTHING--despite all evidence to contradict her--to manipulate the facts. 

And I agree that River doesn't come off badly in those pm's at all.  Judy has a huge chip on her shoulder.  The problem isn't with River.

River doesn't come off badly at all. Cranky and upset, sure, but who the hell wouldn't be after being accused of thievery when all the evidence suggests otherwise? If it were me, I'd have been crying tears of anger and frustration over it. River had a supposedly private forum in which to vent, and rightly so. Whoever "No-Body" is is the one who is the troublemaker, trying to stir up a hornet's nest. Well baby, you picked the wrong nest to poke with sticks. That shows a lot of what makes up your character, and it's not really impressive  ::)

no_body is obviously the latest incarnation of nohead - the pain in our backsides from last year. 

And in order to make Riverwillows look bad, you'd have to show the sweet as a little pie PM from jsf.  Not to mention that that PM sounds non - existent.  If they both got the moulding/whatever off the internet - why would you pm someone with !!ZOMG STEALING!! if you didn't paint every single skerrick?  That tells me that jsf comes off as the big man in this situation and forgot that she didn't actually do the right thing.

The only way that makes riverwillows look bad is that she's going on about karma in a couple of posts here, but is certainly generating bad karma with the private posts - but all people who mention karma do that, so no big surprise - tis the way of the world.

If I had been accused of stealing, you can bet I would have been less civilised than that. I personally agree with Calalily, that without the original or subsequent PM's in regards to the thievery by JSF, the PM's posted by River are not detrimental at all. They just show someone being fraustrated.

*munches popcorn* DoW, I am glad you clarified that TSR does know, that it is the effort of this board that TSR's smuttiness was exposed, and that once again Atwat is also exposed as being the "energy vampiric drama queen" that she is. The confusing is... if the sheep at TSR KNOW that, why are they still allowing Atwat to fester within TSR's walls? Is it still pity?

I am also baffled like Zaza.. drama over wallpaper? pppfffft. Okay.

He'd have a mommy and daddy and baby, and sit there rocking the baby and talking to it, then he'd have the parents smooch and then he'd hold them all. It was something I wish that I had a cam corder to get for evidence later on to blackmail him with in front of his girlfriend...

Markus and I were discussing that last year we had no-head. Now, we have no-body. Anyone seeing the tie-in? What's next? No-BRAIN?! The way they carry on, it's certainly possible.

Oh, and just for you, cala: My karma ran over my dogma and dragged it down the road five miles.

Post by: sherrie on 2008 June 11, 03:39:43
missangelica has 'profiled' atwat perfectly, especially the creating of drama part that's spot on. kudos to you  ;D

Ok lets all profile atwat based on a mix of what we know and what we can speculate for the LOLS

She loves drama, and attention. when there is drama about her, she thrives off it, mailing, Pming and messaging the hell out of anyone who is willing to listen to her self obsessed ramblings. when there is no drama she will create it, and will always manage to somehow be the center of attention even if the drama is not about her. she will always try to lead everything, I'm betting that after 'someone' (obviously atwat) leaked Rivers private posts, atwat then tried to inject herself into the investigation and lead the hunt for the mole? and named just about everyone in the group other than herself? she would have been thriving on the attention and would have felt super important as she played out her fantasy of the popular and clever investigator who everyone adores, while also feeling elated by the fact that in her eyes she has outsmarted everyone because she's such a good 007 double agent.

The thing that drives Atwat is fantasy, in her eyes she is a great creator, stealthy double agent, and investigator as well as a force to be reckoned with to all who cross her, also she's a sexy older woman in a torrid affair with a young and rich business man, and a born leader. All straight out of a story book. In reality nothing could be further from the truth, She lives alone, has no form of relationship with anyone, she does not get along with her neighbours or co workers and finds it difficult to relate to others. she is in a low end unglamorous job and works separate from the other staff, possibly as a hospital admin in a tiny cupboard converted into an office. alone in her cupboard office she retreats into her fantasy world to escape the fact she is a 'nobody'. She invents a more exciting job, and sets about trying to crawl and back stab her way to the top, which is something she could only dream of in real life. A crappy website is her substitute for a real life. In her mind she is important, and useful and adored by many, so much so, she has to keep reminding everyone about it. She dreams that everyone is jealous of her and her popularity, it's her only way of coping with the real reason she's alone.

All that was missing in her fantasy was a lover, enter Tomass, I'm sure everyone that knows her has heard the same old story about Thomas' wife catching them in the bedroom, they went in to find the cat and something nearly happened, they looked at each other, leaned closer and........his wife, annie( I think her name was) unexpectedly walked in, nothing happened but if she had not have walked in.... [insert random innuendo... and some dots....] when reading this, it never came accross as a factual event, it read more along the lines of a mills and boon romance novel, she was relaying her fantasy, his wife being butt ugly was also part of her dream. his wife is possibly attractive (but short sighted) which has made atwat jealous enough to want to publically demean her, In atwats eyes she is beautiful sexually active older woman, in reality she's a lonely 50+ virgin with a face only a mother with failing eyesight could love. the story leaking out was no accident, she told the world, she wanted everyone to speculate on an affair to give her some validity so she could write it up as a true part of her life and revel in the attention of being the 'bosses mistress' and someone important.

Atwat is such a faliure in real life she's living a second life though TSR, where she can be whatever she dreams of, a site so full of bullshit they wouldn't notice an extra smell. TSR know perfectly well the pirates discovered the smut, but in atwats fantasy they don't and she's a hero. We should pity her because our partners, children, friends and family don't disappear the second we turn off our computers. Atwats whole life disappears when she turns off hers, which is why she tries to spend every waking moment on it, to keep her dream alive.

Ok lets all profile atwat based on a mix of what we know and what we can speculate for the LOLS

atwat; The Early Years?

It's obvious from her furniture meshing that atwat was raised in an environment that didn't actually include any furniture. This, combined with her intense interest in textures, causes me to believe that she may have been raised by furniture hating faux hippies who created offbeat textiles. They probably weren't very good at it. Unable to make money at their trade, they resorted to sending young atwat down to the village square to panhandle. Her ability to squeeze money out of strangers would one day serve her well.

At school, entrusted with the position of head hall monitor, atwat immediately restructured the organization into one based on the Soviet KGB. A network of spies was developed, informants were rewarded and enemies crushed. After school, atwat would work for hours in front of a blackboard. There, she charted, mapped and graphed the activities of her fellow classmates and their parents, as well as her teachers and their spouses. Not surprisingly, all the lines and arrows on the blackboard led back to her.

After her first sexual encounter (with another human being) turned out disastrously, Atwat, decided that sex (with another human being) was over-rated and she would have to find a new way to amuse herself. She needed a hobby.

Lol, why? Luna means moon. Not lunatic :-p Moon is the female power, ying. :)

But i have no time to scan 40 pages, i don't really care about Atwat, i do care for destroying TSR. Not a female who probably need medication.
She is a very selfdestructive woman as i see her. So she has clearly problems with her self, need for controlling other people, spying on them, lying
about her profession etc.. She is maybe bipolar and they need help. I know people like her, believe me i do. To me she is just another sick (ill) person
who need help.

She was an FA, but god only knows why. Some of her stuff is just plain boring, and the rest of it looks like the dog threw up or something. If you do decide you must go check it out, make sure you bring plenty of rum and eye bleach.

You seriously need to change your name back, Amazone..

Lol, why? Luna means moon. Not lunatic :-p Moon is the female power, ying. :)

But i have no time to scan 40 pages, i don't really care about Atwat, i do care for destroying TSR. Not a female who probably need medication.
She is a very selfdestructive woman as i see her. So she has clearly problems with her self, need for controlling other people, spying on them, lying
about her profession etc.. She is maybe bipolar and they need help. I know people like her, believe me i do. To me she is just another sick (ill) person
who need help.

I was asking because i am a bit curious, since i do not know too much about TSR, their FAs or SAs.

'cause that is the name you started off with.  You know how confusing it is to have someone just switch names on you after knowing them as one name?  "Hey, I know you've been calling me Bob this past year but call me Jim now."  Sounds ridiculous, right?  It really is.  Don't you remember when Tchan kept changing her name and people were having fits?

My family is plagued with bipolar and I can tell you from what we know about her that atwat is not bipolar.  It's irritating how people throw around that word and do not know what it means.

I agree, she is not Bipolar...though that women definitely suffers from a Personality Disorder for sure!  She does have an unstable personality...she kind of falls into what they call Histrionic Personality disorder, heres a link to what that is:  http://www.clevelandclinic.org/health/health-info/docs/3700/3795.asp (http://www.clevelandclinic.org/health/health-info/docs/3700/3795.asp)

  Anita has no access to the FA forum, although she insists she is still on the payroll and still has the power to choose FA's and SA's. This is about to be tested. She is fucked off to hell about not being able to see the FA board, her paranoia is in overkill, and she's accusing the mods of turning her former FA friends against her, and leaking info to the pirates. She also blames them for her not getting Kaths job. She is desparate to get a inside man on the FA board.

  This is where she has made a claim that could make or break her, and prove once and for all if she has the power she says she has. She has promised rythmgitr/Sheyza a FA position and in return she wants all the FA information he has access to. He will first be made SA, no doubt with access to the SA forum, and then very quickly to FA, which is where Anita needs him to be. All he needs to do is start uploading.

  They're currently planning on starting their own paysite within the next couple of months, so this dirty little deal is due to happen very soon, it will be a lightening fast promotion, it will only be short term, but long enough to give Atwa the info she wants, and give him enough publicity for their site. It should be interesting to see if she really has the power she still claims to have.  If she is telling the truth and Tom HAS agreed to this, we have to question his motives, he will be fully aware, that she would ask Shey to pass on FA info, and also aware that he would do it in return for FA. 

  Atwa also claims to be a silent partner on the new paysite. which she refers to as LS. This is interesting as she is incapable of being silent. She has not told anyone I know that she plans to leave TSR, in fact she still has her eye on making it back to FA, so we are unsure what her connection to this site would be.

Post by: sherrie on 2008 June 12, 23:26:26
Yes he was, I keep a list of the sa's and fa's and he dissappeared off the Sa list at the same time as kittyispretty and welsh witch. maybe he left because he got tired of waiting to be FA so atwat is using that to her advantage? LOL any pay site with atwat involved just has to crash and burn, take TSR for example! at least we won't have to put their stuff in the booty, atwat will make sure this site fails before it even starts  ;D

I find this rather impossible to believe.

Sheyza is a good friend of Aikea's, so firstly, why would he be close to the woman who hurt Aikea so? Didn't know that he even talks to Atwa. He has furthermore always said that he wants his stuff to remain free. Has said so on numerous occasions, in public posts and PMs.

If he starts uploading then there may be some truth to it. Otherwise, he has been inactive for months, left TSR some time ago, has friendships with people who have left TSR because of Atwa, and has no strong friendship with Atwa.. So I do not really believe this apparent plot. Sure its not a different ex SA? His involvement makes no sense

Actually it does make sense.  Sheyza and I talked some, both while I was at TSR and for a while after I left, and based on our conversations, this all fits.  I'd hoped he'd have gotten away from her, as he seems like a nice enough guy and she's... well... not, but I guess not.  As far as I know, he probably talked to her considerably more than me (if only because I'm a flake when it comes to replying to most anything).  I managed to talk him out of taking the FA position they offered him after I left, but now... who knows.

Edit: I can also confirm the 'LS' being accurate for the initials of the new site he's been working on.

Coconut, the information you have provided in the past has been highly incitefull and useful, but this bit seems to be way out there and extremely unlikely.  As posted previously, rythgitr was previously an SA when I was SA not long ago.  And if you are indeed the inside person you claim to be, you would have already known that.

Also, when you say "THEY" I'm assuming you mean both Sheyza and Atwat together... which on it's own is disturbing and doubtful beyond belief. 

This leads me to believe you're trying to pull a fast one on us.  Providing faulty information for whatever perverse purpose suits you.  Perhaps to see how this group of informed people will take it and how much crap can be stirred up because of it?  It's a dangerous game to play, are you sure you're up for it?

I don't see how coconut is pulling a fast one - (I'm going to go with she based on how many shes there are in the community) she says that this is a test of how much Atwat is telling the truth - if Sheyza starts uploading more, then Atwat is telling the truth (at least in part) and if he doesn't, Atwat has lost some traction with her sekrit TSR powa threats.

And crap stirred up - that's what always happens at PMBD, be it truthful or not - that's why this phorum is full of wild accusations and interesting truths - everyone comes here to do that.  It doesn't actually hurt us in any way - it only ever disturbs peoples of the paysite variety.  We don't actually have to worry about integrity as most people firmly believe our close proximity to the booty means that we have none.

Bring it on coconut.  :D

I agree with cala, I was just going to post and say why don't we ask aikea?, but she kindly posted first, confirming coconuts post fits with conversations aikea has had with this person, she also confirmed he speaks to atwat, and even confirmed the websites initials, thats enough confirmations for me. I trust what Aikea says because she has been honest with us from the start since she came here. I also trust coconut because things he/she has said in the past have been correct. when coconut was here the first time, I was on the inside of TSR, and I know that everything that was posted then was true, and it drove atwat crazy. (well.. crazier!)


Coconut, the information you have provided in the past has been highly incitefull and useful, but this bit seems to be way out there and extremely unlikely.  As posted previously, rythgitr was previously an SA when I was SA not long ago.  And if you are indeed the inside person you claim to be, you would have already known that.

Have I missed a post? where exactly did coconut claim to be anyone? I don't remember reading he/she posting their position within TSR, assuming they have one, and where did he/she say that rythgitr wasn't a former SA?

ETA: I'm looking forward to see how atwats test pans out ;D the post will effect the outcome, I suppose, but if coconut had waited it wouldn't have been so juicy after the fact, and we all would have said why didn't you post before! I guess is really a test for Tomass, will he still give atwat what she wants, or cave in because the pirates know  ???

Anyone who has any kind of issue with her, would might as well forget uploading, cause she'd never approve them, and there would always be SOME seemingly "legit" reason for it.....

No, TSR, PLEASE don't let Atwat do any upload approvals!! No artist, no matter how fugly or untalented, deserves THAT kind of fascism. Not to mention denying us downloaders access to our own favorite and talented ones just cause you don't like them.

I have to clear a few things concerning my site and TSR and whatnot...

Yes. I'm building a website.

No. It's not in any way a paysite. I don't know where you got that from.

No. I'm not being chokeheld by Anita, Thomas, or anyone else to be an FA. It was mentioned, but that's been a long time ago. I ultimately decided on my own will, to get a site.

No. No one else is going to be on my site, accept for me.

Yes. I have talked to Anita, and Aikea. Several times. Nothing fishy there. Just talking. Just because someone talks to someone else, doesn't mean they're involved in a conspiracy... There's no crazy partnership going on with my site. My site is just that... Mine.

Aside from that... I would like to note that I've gotten a great amount of help building my site from Aikea and Anita both. I'm <f*ing retarded/> when it comes to html... but there's no freaky partnership or anything of that sort. Just thought I would clear up some of the confusion. Carry on.

Allow me to inquire about something...

I have noticed that many creators use meshes from other sites to make their content. Free and pay artists alike... all I can say is, at least Anita builds the meshes herself rather than using someone else's mesh and taking their credit.  :-\ You have to respect her for that, if not for anything else... Not everyone is perfect, and it's solely your opinion wheither or not you like her/ her work... but everyone has to learn somehow, and she is taking the time to learn correctly.

Please take into consideration that she does try, despite the fact that you don't 'agree' with her, or like her work. You have to notice the good in everyone, even your enemies.

And we have another one who told us that said aforementioned librarian isn't being an ass on purpose, she just really has a hard job (It's a former regional branch... lotta books come flying though.)

I'm sorry, but I find meshing to be a helluva lot easier than texturing. For another, isn't that the same as saying Xandher is worse than Anita just because she doesn't create her own meshes? Honestly, 99% of creating is in the texturing. After all, flood-filling a mesh doesn't make it look nice. *looks pointedly at Grizzelda*

Yes, she's learning, I read that; however, why was she made a FA if she's still "learning"?

If you want to know, ask Thomas that question. I didn't promote her to FA.  :-\ But I don't think that anyone should be bad-mouthing anyone else publicly, so I just stay positive. Thats all I was saying gelydh. I would have done the same for you had someone else said the like.

It isn't saying Xander, or whomever else is worse... it's just saying exactly what I said. "Anita builds her own meshes." In my opinion, being able to construct your own meshes from the ground up is more note-worthy. I don't think anything is wrong with that.

Btw... I didn't know Xander didn't build her own meshes until just now...  :o

Post by: Quinctia on 2008 June 18, 02:36:49
They're just two different types of creating, that require different types of skills.  Sometimes it may seem that texturing is easier, with the amount of people who think that they can just slap a pattern or a photo on anything, but decent texturing requires knowledge of modeling, being able to actually use an art program to do some shading and other adjustments by hand.  And those out there who can HAND TEXTURE anything they put their mind to are just as awesome as those who can mesh anything they decide to mesh!

A mesh in itself isn't a thing of wonderment, anyway...just look at the tons of meshes that are essentially geometric shapes and/or amorphous blobs being passed off as objects in this community.  That took no skill whatsoever.  That's just as bad as floodfilling something and calling it a texture--not only that, it probably took the same amount of time to make.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Sheyza on 2008 June 18, 02:43:28
Yep, good point. Not everyone is good at the same things. Being able to texture and being able to mesh carry the same weights... but the only problem I have with this whole ordeal, is that people take meshes that other's work hard on, and claim they made them, then get credit. There's nothing really fair or positive about that no matter how many times you colmb over it.

Of course, there's nothing fair with texturing either... because whether you get them offline, or take the pictures yourself, someone else still made them.

I agree, that the really good texturers are the ones that can hand-draw them.  :) Also, the really good meshers are the ones that mesh themselves. Same thing.

You know, since everyone thinks Anita is no good at what she does now, your point could apply here too. Maybe she should try making another type of content?

Sheyza, thanks for clearing up a lot of things.

That said, I would like you to follow your own words, and consider this: Anita lies about a lot of people. Take whatever SHE says about ANYONE with no salt at all...especially if it's mean or unkind. She IS friendly and nice to you now, cause she isn't upset with you. But, hon, the minute you do ANYTHING that she might construe as wrong or disagree with her in any way...watch your back. You too will be bad-mouthed all over. You won't even have to try. This is not speculation, or gossip. It's fact. She's proven this over and over about LOTS of people.

So, congrats on your site, glad it's not pay, and just remember....ok to be friends with Anita, as long as she likes you, you are lucky. Just be careful and watch your back. Things can change in a nanosecond.

Objectively, she tried her hands at lot of different things (not just with Thoma$$, i'm serious :)) clothes, objects, walls, hairs, accessories etc. The problem is that they all suck. She lacks technical knowledge, color association, design and artistic capabilities. So what's else left to try? Videos maybe.
Look here http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/atwa/ she already done all these kind of items. All these are fug-included.

But i do agree her objects are slightly better than before, there is a tiny improvement. But hey in several years that's just too slow. The problem is that she didn't focused on creating for Sims 2, she was too occupied to "manage artists" and playing the spanish inquisition in the forum. So she didn't have time left to improve her skills.

(...)

I was just making a point, saying that being able to mesh doesn't give anyone the excuse to ooze a- "My stuff is the greatest thing EVAR!" -type of attitude. Which is the impression that I've always gotten from her, particularly when she'd whine and moan about the pirates in the FA and SA forums. Then her minions would come along and have the AUDACITY to say that they were "just jealous" of her "mad skillZ" and she'd just lap it up.

On a random note, for me, personally, I can do a mesh in a few minutes and then take hours upon hours texturing it. I'm sure it is different for other people, but that's just how it is for me. In any case, meshing and texturing go hand-in-hand. The difference is that texturing can stand on its own, whereas meshes need decent textures to be appealing. For example, take my cardboard robots boxes or Aikea's paper - EXTREMELY simplistic meshes that are made interesting and useable due to the textures.

But I'm venturing off-topic. I agree with RoundRobin's post, though. It's the sort of thing that, while I've not experienced it firsthand, have witnessed it happening to others.

And Sheyza, the attitude to be positive in general that you have is very good. However, do remember that people may exploit you for this. Atwa is well known for being manipulative and scheming - would suggest that you open your eyes a bit more in case she is doing that to you.

Seeing as how it seems your site is the site that Atwa has claimed to be a new paysite she was working on, can you just clarify this: the site will be 100% free or not? No pay area, no donation packs? If not, then we have no problem. Yet you should be concerned that Atwa believes she has a claim over the site, and it will be pay.

Me too.  I am a horrible recolorer/retexturer.   But, making a really good (and low poly) mesh that can take good textures is hard work.  I worked with another person in making my kitchen set and my Ethan Allen bedroom set.  If I hadn't, my meshes would have been a nightmare for others to recolor/retexture.  I would send her the meshes, she would fiddle with her textures on them, tell me where the problems in my meshes were and I would fix them.  Because she is so creative in her use of textures, issues I would have never seen came to light.  Once that was done, my meshes improved because other people could more easily make something almost completely different from them using textures, which I thought was very cool.  So, in my mind, being a good texturer is just as important as being a good mesher because it takes a being good texturer to complete the meshing process.  My meshes were better because I had linked up with a good texturer. 


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Sheyza on 2008 June 18, 10:26:16
I only mesh when I really need something specific myself... working with colorless shapes gets really boring after some time.  :-\ Texturing is my field. I love color.

Don't worry about me peoples... if I feel like anyone is stepping on me I back off. I have alot of friends too, so it's not like Anita is my life-long bestest best buddy in zee world. If you get my drift. Some of you aparently seem to think I'm Anita's lapdog or something, when she's simply just someone I talk to. It's not like we're eloping to the Bahamas and popping out children.  ???

Just because I maintain a positive attitude doesn't mean I can't get nasty if I have to. Also, I would defend any of my friends like this, not just Anita. Like I said, I have alot of friends... and what are friends for?  ;)

Anyone that gets mad at anyone else is going to do bad things to that person, regardless of who they are. That's just human nature. So if Anita got angry and did something to me, it wouldn't be that shocking. Everyone has done it / is capable of it. I don't really let crap like that get to me anyways. Like when I moved to TSR last year and I got talked about in here. I'm the person that's going to ignore what's said about me and move on. I'm pretty good at writting stuff off and not worrying over it.

No, the site won't be pay in any case. There will be an option to donate if you feel like it, but no donation packs or anything of that sort. I'm also planning on adding a forum to it eventually. You're all welcome to it when I get this thing built. I'm not an html genious by any means.  :P

I agree that the drama surrounding TSR has hurt alot of artists... one reason I've got this site comming. I like to avoid things like that.

This is random... but do you know that when I moved to TSR, I had nooooo idea there was a "paysite debate"? You guys were a little hard on me, when I had no damn idea what people were talking about or what was going on. Shame on you for not telling me of this anti-pay thing... then killing me when I had no idea moving to another site was bad. Bah... now where did that god aweful rum scurry off to...

I find meshing more enjoyable as well - the hardest thing is getting new ideas on what to make. I mean there's google for inspiration, but the darn thing requires keywords.  :D  I have played so many tetris games and in my mind broken things into their component parts while renovating my furniture, that I find it easy.  Surprising how versatile a cylinder or a square can be.  :)

It really isn't our responsibility to tell you everything - plus those that did let you know were ignored.  I know I myself posted in your creator blog at MTS2 that it was a pity you were going to a paysite, and that this meant I wasn't going to use your stuff, and you went anyway.  If you didn't use google or wonder why, then really, shame on you.

Yelling? Fine. Gossip? Fine. Utter destructon? LUNACY.

Well, you have acces to any information you may need. You're not an idiot.
If you think the behaviour Atwa has shown against other people she dislikes is normal and human nature, then you have an awfully dark look on things...
besides the childish things she has done like joke about brain tumors and gossip here and there, she has slandered people, ruined friendships by playing groups out against eachother and effectively isolated people who made choices she didn't personally like. You can ask your buddy Aikea.

Also, I wonder what your role was in that whole 'Truth' thing. You linked to it in your profile, effectively trying to destroy a giant free site. Are you even worth the time?

correct! this is basically what Atwat and a lot of other FA/paysiters do. For example, they take a bed mesh made by Maxis, open it in milkshape and then they move a few bars on the headboard, then they open the texture, copy and paste a random picture on the bedding and hey presto all rights to the bed have became theirs, they claim they made it from the 'ground up', they sell it to the community, (without credit to the person who actually spent weeks creating the mesh they just altered or the artist who drew or photographed the texture) and then they expect to be worshipped as the god of all creators. of course a lot of freesiters also do this, the difference being, freesiters understand you cannot sell or claim any copywrite on someone elses work. I'm sure that IRL I couldn't sell a chanel dress as my own design/creation, even if I did go to the trouble of sewing an extra pocket on it and adding my own label.

Atwat isn't just panned here for her craptastic taste and colour blindness, it's her whole attitude, as a creator she may be poor at best, but as a person she's a vile, egotistical, manipulative control freak, who will lie and back stab anyone. Naturally you don't see that in her yet, because she's oh so nice, and had such a hard time with those evil pirates. (who she can't seem to keep away from ::) )  but if you're naive enough to think the many, many people in the community (both paysite and free) who have fell on the wrong side of her are all lying or even jealous of her then you're in for a fall when you have outlived your use. I'm sure most of her former friends here would agree she can be very convincing, you really do feel she's a nice person until it's too late. Do yourself a favor, go through all your old PMs/mails/IM's and make a list of all the people this nice person has said nasty things about, then make a list of everyone she has complemented. You won't want to admit it, especially here, but one list will be a lot longer than the other.

If you have been stupid enough to let her do any work at all on your site, you're gonna have an uphill struggle explaining to her that she doesn't own the copywrite to it  ::)  I find it really hard to believe that she would help in any way to create a freesite. She's already spreading her claim to your site, so unless you want it turning pay with scarabs and ancient egyptian photobooths as far as the eye can see, you should really have a long chat with her. Tomass let her help him by passing on info, the next minute she's telling everyone she runs TSR and picks out all the FA's and SA's, so take heed and learn from his mistake.

ETA: meshing isn't that difficult, I made my very first 2 meshes yesterday, my first attempt and I made 2! now the hard thing is gonna be the textures.

And the post in my blog was kind of late. By then, everyone was already pissed off at me, and what was I supposed to do? I didn't know that part of the community existed. How can I google something I know nothing about? Before, I was only concearned with playing my game, like a 16 year old should have been. I had turned 17 when I actually started creating things. Now, I'm going to be 20 in four months... and I still... play... this game...  :-[

A dark look on things eh? Well... lets see.. black hair... black clothes... hmm... me? gothic? dark? naaah... everyone is capable of being an utter ass.

The only help Anita really gave me on the site was telling me if things were showing up, if tiles matched, if frames were correct... Aikea did all of the extreamely helpful work. Now she is a genius.  :o

And I still don't get why you think Anita is my partner for the site. I plainly told you she wasn't. She's just another person I talk to. Whoopty doo.

If you have a look around this forum, you will find that within threads regarding new paysites there is at least one person who contacts them with information how to remain free, and this is often sucessful. This issue is widely known, and generally people do know about it before they go pay. Those do not are often give some helpful advice about this - thats all we can really do.

IAnd I still don't get why you think Anita is my partner for the site. I plainly told you she wasn't. She's just another person I talk to.

Atwa told someone she was a partner on your site, and this was told to Coconut who posted it a couple of pages back. Therefore it is what Atwa has apparently said, so we are not exactly thinking this completely at random. That is why we are unsure to it and are asking you about it

I think I might go to bed now anyway... I have to go to work in a couple hours and I feel like a zombie souped up on crack screaming "braaaains! give me braaaaains!" *snores*

Lol @ cliche applied to self.
Yes, she is capable of being an utter ass. But she was/is also in a position at a website where she carries/carried alot of responsibility, where people were dependant on her. She abused that position to do what she did. She didn't do it once, but she did it continuesly. That's more than being an utter ass in my opinion.
Anyway, use protection. ;)

Yes - and that's what we do.  What you're asking is for people to come to your house and enter the keyword in google for you.  We don't do that because the next argument would be "you're harassing people".

You were sufficiently aware of S2C to make a post in the debate room concerning the featured policy at MTS2, and there was a giant section called "The Great Paysites Debate" - kinda hard to miss.  Not to mention that IIRC, RainCandy is/was your girlfriend, and she was fully aware of it.

Plus, you know, there's logic - you belonged to a giant freesite with freesite policies.

Or one could, you know, read the EULA on the game you purchased and fired up. No excuses, there.


For the record, as a sucktastic creator I haven't tried meshing. I'm scared. I really need to, as I did see a tutorial which was very much on my level recently and I want to work on the dearth of male hairs and clothing. Texturing? Eh. I'm good at doing a simple one-tone recolor or creating and slapping logos on things. I do that a lot. Object retexturing tends to be beyond me, as most of the texture files are gobbled up...bits here and there, and I can't follow the flow.

I'm sorry, I don't agree with that at all.  If I am upset with a person that does not give me the right to do horrible and say things to him/her and effectively try to destroy that person.  What if I was wrong?  What if it was a misunderstanding or mistaken identity?  Wouldn't it make more sense to try to talk to the person you're upset with and resolve the issue maturely before doing something you can't take back?

I'd imagine you would be surprised/shocked if you had perceivably done nothing wrong and she attacked you!  Unfortunately this has been a reality for most of her victims.  She doesn't need proof to turn on you.  All she needs is a thought.

I totally agree with MissA.
Most of the time it's just misunderstanding, or even plain irony you failed to see. NEVER click on the "Reply" button immediatly, give it time, re-read it and suddenly it won't be aggressivity or personnal attack anymore. If only flaming trolls applied that, life would be easier. Life is way too short to be ranting for a mere post. Trolls, heed that! Especially if english isn't your prime language!

I realize Anita has done things that nobody here agrees with, and that I should have paid more attention around the forums... but like I said, at the time I was concerned with the game itself and didn't care less about the rest of it. Still don't in my own weird way.  :-\

And about the post with Delphy... I had heard that from someone (and no it wasn't Lyric, contrary to belief, I didn't even know her at the time) and I got very freaked out over it. Of course, when anyone hears the word pedophile they're likely to cringe. After I heard Delphy's side though, and got more informed, my opinion changed about that. It simply just freaked me out to hear it at first. That's all there really is to it.

missangelica, then you are one of the better people in this world, but even I have trouble fighting fire with sugar, sunshine, kisses and butterflies. Sometimes I like to use a mace, land mines, super glue and a pit of snakes.  :)

I do appreciate the warnings about her, but let me find out for myself. I'm stubborn, so if it's true, then naturally I will have to learn this the hard way. If she turns on me, I guess I'll just join the crowd over here eh? Buy myself a pirate hat, say Arr! and drink imaginary rum until I'm green in the face. If I catch scurvy, then aparently I did something wrong. lol

Like I said before though, it's not like we're best friends or something. I barely talk to her really. We've talked on msn like maybe 4 times...  and most of it hasn't even been about any of this.  ???

Dr House, I agree... most people take things as insults a little to quickly, which is why I didn't jump all up in here like RAWR! DIE!  ;) It takes alot to actually offend / piss me off. I'm fairly mellow and optomistic. I try to see good in everything. It's a curse.

Well, said, Shey.

At the very least, tho, have a nice LOOONG chat with her about why she is running around claiming your site, and saying things about it that give the wrong impression. Cause, she's been doing that ALL OVER the place. Small wonder we got the wrong idea about it!!  We're probably not the only ones!!!  ::)


***on second thought, might not be a good idea....she might just lie and say, who, me? But assuredly she IS doing this. Just visit other sites and mention yours.

Hey Sunshine, I think the things she has done are more than disagreeable...they have been dispicable, they have been hurtful and they have been downright evil.  And if  you want to find out about them yourself...well you go right ahead...when she sees you reading about all these "made up lies" about her...it may be sooner for you than you thought...and being mellow and optimistic won't make it any better...

missangelica, then you are one of the better people in this world, but even I have trouble fighting fire with sugar, sunshine, kisses and butterflies. Sometimes I like to use a mace, land mines, super glue and a pit of snakes.  :)

Reading your entire post the first thought that came to my mind was, "He doesn't know who he is talking to, does he?"  Before you roll your eyes and think I just have a big head, hear me out.  It's hard to hold a conversation beyond chit-chat with someone you know nothing about.  We at least knew about you beforehand but, as far as I can tell, you know nothing about us as individuals.  You certainly wouldn't of said that (what I quoted) to me if you were familiar with me. 

You misinterpreted what I said.  Let me try to explain it a different way.  When you feel something negative has been done to you or said about you, you have two initial choices.  You can think about it or react.  Atwa reacts before thinking.  She doesn't take the time to find out if it is even true before lashing out.  Since you can't take back what you do, no matter how much you may regret it later, it makes sense to think about it and approach it as diplomatically as possible.  If you do it that way then you won't look like an ass if you find out that you are wrong about the situation.  Even better, if it is true then you will come out the better person because you're not stooping down to that person's level.  It's not about sugar, sunshine, kisses, and butterflies.  It's about civility and maturity.

ETA:  As for the "let me find out for myself how horrible Atwa is", you're really showing your age.  I'm not really surprised though.  My youngest sister is your age and she has the same attitude.  Warning her does no good either.  When Atwa does turn on you, don't come here and expect us to kiss your boo-boo's.

Also, how does she feel about you talking to pirates?

Well, I'm sorry if I just don't worry about silly things like this. It's not worth my time. This is really just about a video game to me. And I don't need anyone to kiss my boo boos... if she turns on me, then oh well... there are plenty of other people in the world. You get what I mean?  :-\

Anita is not dictating what I say. I am perfectly capable of speaking for myself... and frankly, I don't need a person to tell me what I can think, do or say. I have my own brian for a reason, so I can make my own choices. If anyone tried to control me like that, I would definately drop them in a heartbeat... and if she starts doing that, I'll drop her too.

She knows I wrote in here. Though I don't know why her getting mad and turning on me is such a big deal. Isn't that my problem? If she turns on me, then it's something I have to deal with, not anyone else. It's not like she could do that much damage to me anyway. She knows nothing of my personal life aside from me having some parrots. If what you guys say is true, she's losing her power anyway, so... yeah. That's why I just don't worry about these things. It's too much to stress over. Besides, it's just a video game... I have a real life that needs more of my attention. That is really what I should be stressing over.

It's late here, so I won't be back until tommorow night if you still want to discuss anything. Later.

Pardon me for butting in. :) I don't know Atwa, have never had contact with her, have never been burned by her, etc. But it seems to me that a lot of people have been burned, and some of what she has said, behind their backs, has been vicious. And what people here are trying to do is simply to warn you. Yes, you're a big boy and can take care of yourself, but I tend to see these people's advice and warnings as the same as, say, advising someone against experimenting with drugs. As in that situation, one can see the disaster looming on the horizon if you keep going along the path you're following. Yes, if what they're saying might happen does happen, then it will be your problem to deal with. But wouldn't you rather head trouble off at the pass? It is a fact that she is claiming to be your partner in this site. If this is not true, as you say, then at the very least you'd probably do well to address her about this now.

And yes, this is a video game. Partly. The other part is that it's a community. One made up of people. People who, by your own admission, can be nasty. Now, maybe you can keep yourself and your feelings separate from what members of the community say and do and continue to do what you do regardless of what's going on in said community. If so, that's great. From what I've seen of what Atwa has said about people she's decided she doesn't like...Well, I'd say I really hope that truly is what you can do, should you choose to continue to associate with her.

So, basically you're asking her to use you and if she does and turns on you, who cares, right?  It's disappointing that you have such a laissez-faire attitude to what Atwa is capable of doing to your reputation in this community.  Although really you didn't have the best one to begin with, it doesn't help to have your name and hers in the same sentence and yes, even if what people are saying that she is saying turns out to be untrue.  (We have yet to see screenshots of her saying this stuff.)  It may just be a gaming community but I doubt very much you joined with the intention to become someone's pawn.

Post by: Sheyza on 2008 June 19, 21:46:02
I just wish you'd all get what I am really trying to say here. Anita and I are not 'close'. That's why I don't worry about something like this. As I've said, we've only talked sparingly. It's not to the extent that you all are seeing it to be. We have much the same relationship as we did at TSR... meaning SA + Artist Manager. It's a very non-personal relationship. Most of it is just sharing new things we've made, sharing textures, and that sort of thing. That's the reason why I'm not worried about it, because I do not 'bond' with people from the internet for the most part. I know the dangers that can become of it, much to the tune of what you're saying.

Is that a slight better explaination? It's not so much that I 'don't care'... it's more like what celligirl said. I keep my online life and personal life very separate. I only tell things to online people that I wouldn't care if anyone knew... For example, one of my birds was killed about 6 days ago. I told Anita about that. Just for the record, it was a baby Eclectus parrot we'd been hand-feeding for months, and our dog broke out of it's gate and attacked it  :'( . That's information I would tell anyone. I'm not even afriad to say that I'm adopted and have a different last name than my parents. (I have my birth mother's last name.)

I make it a point to tell only very trusted individuals about my actual life. A few community members know what I do for a living, and two even know my address and phone number. Those individuals I trust, and so far my trust has been very well placed. Also, if I do indeed give out that information, I always make it a trade. They have to tell me theirs too. It keeps them from leaking personal things when they know you have something personal of theirs to tell. It's really a good tip for any internet user to remember. If a person asks for your address but isn't willing to give you theirs in return, you should not give them that information.

One more detail I would like to add is that even if someone slanders me over the internet or elsewhere, I'm not likely to do the same back to them. I try to respect everyone, despite what they've said / done to me.

I know my reputation here is aweful, but I'm not going to destroy others' reputations out of spite. If I may so inlclude that by what has been discussed here, if true, that is the pattern Anita follows. Get hurt and be hurt. I would rather take on the pain myself without distributing it onto others. I can agree on some bad things that were said about me around here actually. I can't say that I blame anyone for saying I look like a girl... because I do have long hair (very long hair now), and I do dye it. I wear black makeup sometimes, and paint my nails black... not to mention my eyelashes are quite pretty... *insert girly giggle here* Now that I've gotten away from the red hair, it's not so bad. My hair is black again now. I look like a mix between Ozzy and an emo boy.  ???

I agree also that I did a bad thing with Delphy, and am sorry for letting the pedophile shock get ahold of me. When anyone hears that word, its not going to exactly make them happy. I just didn't think... not until after I heard Delphy's side, which by then it was too late to save. Just one of the many things I regret doing in my life.

With the poetry, well, that's just a way I vent without taking it out on someone else. If I hold it in rather than writting it, I become an entirely different person. I get really pissy and unbearable to be around.  :-\

Just to reassure everyone that Anita isn't involved with my website, I'm changing it's name and layout, and I'm not telling it to anyone. You'll just have to guess at which site is mine when it opens.  :)

A tip... don't always believe everything. Not even screenshots. Those can be edited quite easily. Unless you have the conversation, or otherwise open yourself... it's probably not true. Even logs and transcripts can be edited... just be selective.

Essay ended.  ;D

Hmmm...well, I'm going to divulge a interesting conversation I had with Riverwillows. After her last post, I pm'd her and we talked a bit. She also keeps her online life, and personal life separate. Didn't matter. As near as she can tell, the real reason Atwa hates her, is when they were in the TC last year, Atwa was very friendly towards her, but there was one or two times she didn't agree with somthing Atwa said, and nicely posted so. Atwa responded nicely back, and they agreed to disagree, then it seemed they were still friendly. And that apparently lasted throughout the whole resulting hoopla with the TC and the mods, with Atwa being oh so friendly and supportive to her and all the others.

What River didn't know, was the whole time Atwa was bad mouthing her specifically to all the FA's and some SA's, saying she was a pirate, and other bad things, etc. And as near as River can figure, she didn't really do anything to Atwa....except disagree with her on a few very minor unrelated points. Apparently, it was enough, and next she knew, she was being talked about in forums. It still kinda puzzles her, as the disagreements were private, and personal, and seemed to be resolved friendly like. And they weren't even major issues, just small things. River only found out about Anita badmouthing her, because she actually stated to get emails from other people (Anita supporters) that weren't nice. Was a shock to her.

So, what I guess I'm trying to say, is it doesn't matter whether you keep things separate, it's your online/sims community rep that will get trashed and bad mouthed. And since you plan to be a regular contibutor to the sims community, you might want to just be a bit cautious, as sadly, there are tons of sheeple out there who don't know Atwa the way we do, and WILL believe any bad things she says as gospel. And cause you uneeded hassle.

It's just that we do actually care, Shey, in our own way.

Here's something you don't hear every day. A 41-year-old woman in Stockholm has been accused of raping a 30-year-old man after she took him home from the pub and, according to the story in Aftonbladet newspaper, "performed oral sex on him against his will."

Does the fact that Atwat sprang immediately to my mind make me a bad person?

And yes, I have said previously that you do look like a girl from the one picture I've seen of you that you used on mts2.  It wasn't meant as a diss but rather just my observation and it sticks out in my mind when your name is brought up.  Androgyny seems all the rage these days.. you have a leg up on other guys when it comes to the laydeez.  ;)

For the record, I don't care about if you suffer or not as a result of your friendship with Atwa.  I'm just using logic.

If you think it's tough to merely get rid of this rumour - boy are you going to find it tough if she does actually say something nasty.

Well, for a start, there is a way to give a man an erection without his will - men with paraplegia can have erections with a special pressure spot on the back, and it can be as crude as electrocuting that area, which doesn't feel good for the man, but produces an erection.  Sexual arousal doesn't mean that there is any kind of desire involved, otherwise young men would not have embarassing hardons when they least want them. 

Women lubricate too when being raped - that doesn't mean that they want it - that is a natural bodily response.  Not quite as chuckleworthy to me to think of it though.

I was just going to say, anyone can get raped, regardless of sex, age, orientation, or appearance.  :-\  It doesn't matter whether the guy was gay or straight--he didn't want to have sex with that woman.  I'm straight--I would reject sex, even oral sex, from any male who isn't my boyfriend.  Of course, I'm female, so I guess people are more willing to accept that I've been raped than they would be if it was a man who was raped.

I don't really understand the whole "Hur, what straight guy would turn down a blow job" line of thinking, even if it's facetious.  Not every guy is a hopeless horndog who wants to screw every woman he sees, nor does it mean there's no such thing as raping a male.  And like Calalily said, just because you get aroused doesn't mean you want it.  :-\

Yeah, we came to that conclusion a while ago. I understand it now, but I still find it slightly weird... since you don't hear of it often. It just makes you go  ???.

And no, not all guys are that hopeless, but many are. I was making a joke about males in general.

This reminds me of a police study I read some months ago... it stated that the group most targeted by rapists are long-haired blonde women between the ages of 19-25. It also said that most who get raped don't go to the police... so how can they really know then, if that group is indeed the most targeted. Maybe they are just the most likely to tell. Just something to chew on, though unpleasant this topic...

I'm sure all rape victims find your joke hi-larious.  ::) Male rape (a particular problem for gay men incidentally) is seriously underreported, as they fear the scorn evidenced by your "joke" about how men may not want to have sex with everyone. Not to mention that I'm sure all men love to hear someone say that they are merely penis centric with no standards or choices - hell they'd do dogs and kids if we left them to it.

Because data is gathered from other sources, such as hospitals and rape crisis centres and other areas not police.

Not to mention, rape is embarassing. I'm sure that's a reason why men don't say anything about it. Not just men, but any victim. If it happened to me, I wouldn't say anything about it either, for that reason. That study actually said something about that too... I wish I could remember where I found it. Someone actually emailed it to me as some-what of a chain letter... saying to pass it on to any women you know. It gave locations for places with high rape numbers, tips to prevent yourself from being raped, and all kinds of useful stuff. I can remember a few other things it said:

Rapes mainly occur at night, in parking lots or any deserted dark area.

Don't just sit in your car. Lock your doors, make sure the windows are up.

And the last thing I remember exactly what it said: "Be aware of your surroundings. It's better to be paranoid than dead."

When my grandmother died last year, my mom and aunt were talking... I found out that my mother had been raped by her own father at 16 while grandma was at work. She never told anyone until then, not even her sisters. She said she was embarassed, but even more embarassed for waiting until grandma died to mention it. Why do you think that is?

This does not sound like a police study - sounds like a fact sheet.

She said she was embarassed, but even more embarassed for waiting until grandma died to mention it. Why do you think that is?

Why do you think it is - because complete jerks like you make light of men as being nothing more than penises on legs (ha! of course he had a go - she's a woman isn't she - I'll stick my dick anywhere) and because you talk about this casually as if you've never heard that other people have things like feelings.  Your mother was embarassed about it because she was raped by her father for goodness sake - have you no empathy for what that must feel like? I don't feel comfortable discussing this with you as you have the emotional depth of a tadpole -  I mean seriously what the fuck is wrong with you? Your mother was raped by her father and was trapped in a house with him for at least another couple of days/weeks/months/years - and had no one to talk to about this, and worse still, even her own family don't understand what she went through, and talk about it casually on a forum like it's nothing.

And by the way, you may think that you're being all cool, calm and emo, but really, you're coming off as an insensitive egocentric jerk with the emotional maturity of a toddler.  >:(

Complete crap! Rapes mainly occur within victims' circle of friends and/or family, not by strangers jumping out of a bush at night. As a woman, you're most at risk from your own partner. I know that sounds horrible, but unfortunately it's true. And the real 'fun' thing about this fact is that a lot of people won't even accept that it's still rape if you happen to be in a relationship with the asshole who abuses you! No, I'm not so pissed off because it's happened to me - it hasn't thank goodness. But I know people.

As for the shame part: Might the common assumption that women are just 'asking for it' because of how they dress/talk/behave have something to do with it? Or basically having to 'prove' that you were raped and haven't just 'changed your mind'? You know, I remember spending a morning at a police station with a friend. They asked her the most disrespectful questions, justifying everything with "you know, some people make such claims". I couldn't help but wonder if they'd be asking that after her home just got burgled. Conviction rates for rape are outrageously low.

Edit:
Why do you think it is - because complete jerks like you make light of men as being nothing more than penises on legs (ha! of course he had a go - she's a woman isn't she - I'll stick my dick anywhere) and because you talk about this casually as if you've never heard that other people have things like feelings.

Thanks! Couldn't agree more!

Of course I feel bad for her. I wasn't saying what I did to hurt anyone or because I'm insensitive. I was just wondering why she waited until my grandma was dead to mention it to anyone. You missunderstood me. I guess the emotional tradgedy of grandma dying brought it out of her, hell, I don't really know. Sorry if I offended you somehow, if you were ever raped.

And Dita, you make a good point. Actually, most of the rapes I've heard of have been by family members, friends, etc... I just wrote in what the 'police' study said. This was sent to me, I didn't write it.

Because your grandmother was married to him.  If your grandmother didn't know about it, your mother probably didn't want to tell her that her husband raped his daughter.  It can be very difficult to admit things to a parent, and given the circumstances, I can see how difficult it could be for her.

I don't have to have been raped to find what you said offensive.  I actually understand the feelings of others - ie that they have them and that I don't treat things as flippantly as you do. I find it offensive for all the silent lurkers who will read this and wonder what the fuck is wrong with you, or worse, what the fuck is wrong with them.

Whether you were meaning to be insensitive, or just plain are insensitive matters not.  You certainly write like an insensitive jerk, and you certainly don't understand others feelings without the prism of "it hasn't happened to me".  If you had one ounce of empathy you wouldn't write things like this:

I was just wondering why she waited until my grandma was dead to mention it to anyone.

Possibly to keep peace in the family. Also, it's not uncommon for many women to put the well-being of other family members before their own, so maybe she thought she was shielding her own mother. Or, like Dita pointed out, she could have been afraid of being held responsible. Maybe it was a combination of all these things. I don't know. All anyone can do here is guess. If you really want an answer you should be asking her and not random strangers on the internet.

That would be me - as said before: I don't post here much. Except I don't think there's anything wrong with me. There are no excuses for screwing up on this issue in my book, I know I'm not wrong, no matter what the penis owners of this world wish to believe.

It is called standards. Male does not equal mindless pervert.  It is rather annoying to hear such jokes about how guys would pretty much do any female, negating actual important matters that many guys actually do care about, such as actually being in love with the individual one is being intimate with.

Rather talented to insult both males and females within just a few posts of each other.

Well... see now this is where her situation gets very strange...

She had a very strained relationship with her mom, both step and biological. Her and my aunt though, were very very close. Some would think she might confide in her sister, since telling her mother would split up the family... but she chose not to. I think it was so her sister didn't think badly of their father. So she wouldn't be afraid of it hapening to her. My mom took care of my aunt, because their parents wouldn't. Sometimes all they would get to eat was raw flour... and if she asked her dad for a peice of meat that the adults were eating, he would smack her across the floor.

I'm very thankful to my mom for giving me a better life than that. For giving her sister a better life. You see, that same year is when she met my dad, and never looked back. She married my dad, a now retired Marine, at 16 and had my eldest brother. She's a brilliant, and brave woman. I couldn't ask for a better mom. She survived through alot of things most women would crumble over, and she's always made sure none of us ever wanted for anything... and now since they're old and my brothers won't step up and help, I'm paying them back for all the good they've done for me. Instead of running off like my brothers, I'm staying around to take care of them. They're both dissabled. My dad actually is dying of throat cancer... so I'm by no means emotionless... believe me. I'm still a teen, having to watch both of my parents die, and take care of my little brother. I care for them.

   Most women and men who experience this horrible crime are made to feel like it is their fault. Like some how they did something wrong. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or having a piece of shit for a father, are all excuse that people have used. "If she didn't have that skirt on, she wouldn't have made all the men horny. She was asking for it.", or something completely idiotic like "He's a man, so he must have liked it. Hell, it was free sex!" Even if a person does change their mind, right before he puts it in, it would still be rape. Once you say no, if you are fortunate enough to be able too, they should stop. No matter their gender.

   The problem your mother probably had, is that no matter what kind of dick head your grandfather was, he was still her father. There is an absurd amount of shame and mixed feelings that comes along with being abused by someone who was supposed to protect you from such things. If he was as abusive as you are making him out to be, your grandmother probably wouldn't have left him anyway. Be it shame, disbelief or fear, the likely hood that she would have done anything is low. Most women in that situation are being abused themselves, and for whatever reason they feel if they take the brunt of it; then the abuser will leave the children alone. 

   I personally found your comments offensive not only as an abuse survivor, but as a human being. Your mother has been victimized enough, stop talking about her personal trials on the internet. I understand you are a teenager, and you probably don't have a bunch of experience with tact, but this is not something that should be discussed publicly. If you need to talk about your issues, feel free to PM me, but I think you should let this little incident die and talk about bad paysite finds or something.

If you hope to garner sympathy for that and hope to have us ignore your insensitivity, you're wrong.  I've been there, and done that - and had lost both of my parents by the time I was 23 - by which time I had two kids. The fact is that most of that is about your plight - not your parents.  And since you seem to have little understanding of the issues, then you don't know what most women would crumble over.  The fact that you are an egocentric teen is glaringly obvious without you having to tell us.

You see, I don't know your mom but I severely doubt that she never looked back. Experiences like these tend to haunt people for years if not forever! As I said before: I'm glad I have no personal experience of rape - but I know more than enough people who do. My roomie was raped when I was in my early twenties. I was the one who picked her up from where it happened, the one who went through everything with her.

And then years later she apologized to me for 'putting me through this'. She felt sorry for me, not herself! I never even felt as though I was going through anything. And I certainly don't think I'd have had a better life if she'd suffered in silence. I just hate how women are basically expected always to put the interests of everyone and the neighbour's dog before their own - even when they clearly need to put themselves first for a change. Basically we're being lauded for treating ourselves like shit after others have done so. No thanks! [insert pukey smiley here]

I wasn't trying to get sympathy. I just wanted you to see that my mom IS a very good woman, and it's because she does love me, and she made sacrifices just so I could live and be happy someday into my adulthood. Any woman that does that has alot of guts, and I don't care who knows that bit of my personal life. Because, and hear me out, I Am Proud Of My Mom.

I don't need your sympathy, or your smart attitudes. You can sit here and bitch about me, Anita, and anyone else you damn well please, but know this, we don't care about a damned thing you people say, and we don't need your "approval" to be good, decent respectful human beings. So go ahead, complain about me all you want to, but at least some other person isn't suffering over what your saying. It's me, the cold, emotionless individual that you see right here. I don't need to leach the feelings out of people to feel secure in myself. Do YOU not care about other's feelings? Aparently fucking not. I've about had it with playing nice and acting like I actually like you people. Truth is, I can't stand you. You can go ahead, diss my post, diss me, say any damn thing you want. I'm so tired of seeing you 'mature' people tear away at other humans that you don't even know, just to get a few good kicks. Just look at how bad you ate away at all these individuals. And I guess you acomplished your goal didn't you?

I hear all these decent people, ranting to me, confiding in me, making me help them deal with the emotional problems that you people cause for them. Atwat? You are calling a 50 something year old woman a female genital, and I am the emotionless one here? Fuck no. And you people fed off of Aikea's pain when she left TSR too. Watching all of this like it's a sideshow. She was very emotional over that time, and you people fed on it like hungry dogs. Preying on her feelings. What the hell is wrong with YOU?

You can call me a troll, and frankly you can answer to this post all god damn day long until you fall asleep at your keyboard. I don't really care, because you're not worth my time for me to even come back and read your inane ranting. I've already wasted two days of my life in here, talking about god knows what, that doesn't even have to do with the Sims at all. This is a community for people to talk about the Sims. Not a community where you can tear people down piece by piece until your head explodes with laughter by making someone else feel bad. I'm tired of watching people take this crap.

Go ahead, reply. Reply all day. Call me a jerk, call me emotionless, call me any thing you want. Make me suffer and leave these other people the hell alone! I'm not going to read a damned one of your meaningless posts. I'm not going to loose any sleep over this. In fact, now I feel much better telling you people how I've really thought these years. Get over yourselves.

There, now you have something juicy to talk about. Shey blew the hell off at PMBD. Wooo fuckin' whooo. Happy? Is this the kind of shit you like? Huh? Now you've got something to talk about for awhile. Bitch at me. Go ahead. Since I'm emotionless it won't fucking hurt.

And you know what? I might just open up a site with Anita now. Yeah, it will be called "PMBD - Sucks Ass". Where all the pay creators can go and talk shit about you. Then we'll see how much YOU like it.

Interesting turn of the thread, there.
I do have personal experience with rape, having been on the receiving end. I've also spent a lot of time with abuse victims. Personally, I didn't find Sheyza's attitude or words offensive, but then, I'm a pretty easy-going person.

Sheyza, some reasons your mother might have kept quiet for so long is this: Being raped is plenty traumatic all on its own.  Since the rapist was her father, if she told her story, the result might have been (probably would have been) just more trauma.  Family freaks out.  The risk of not being believed.  The risk that she might be believed but then nothing would be done (and I've seen this happen--some mothers suck.) That the best possible outcome was that she would be believed, and something would be done, and then everyone would know, and think of that every time they thought of her--which shouldn't be a big deal, but to a teenage girl, can definitely be a huge deal.  If the rape was a one-time thing, and not ongoing and repeated, it might have just been easier for her--at least at first--to just keep quiet, and try to keep life "normal."  Some people in a sort of emotional shock get hysterical, but others just retreat into themselves, at least for a while, to try and sort out what's happened to them--that's what I do.  There is also sometimes a weird sense with this sort of thing that once you SAY it, you make it just that much more real; someone else knows, and you can't take it back and pretend it never happened.  So long as you keep quiet,  you can pretend to yourself that you have the OPTION of acting as if it never happened.  I don't know if any of this applied to her, but any of it could have.  

Also, btw, I understand what you meant about how she "never looked back."  That's sort of how I feel about it.  It happened, but I don't feel like the walking wounded because of it or anything.  There are bad people in the world, and one of them got way too close to me.  Life goes on.

O lawd.

Sheyza, chill. You come here, "pretending to like us" and miss the fact that this forum has over 3000 members and probably even more lurkers. Most of those, including me, couldn't care less about your personal business, we're just here because we hate paysites. Then you have a disagreement with one or two of us, and suddenly you're threatening us with opening a site with Atwat to defame all of us. To... eh... piss us off?  Because, you know, that makes sense.  ::) Whoever called you immature was spot on, it seems. Suddenly I understand why you and her go well together.

I don't know what kind of forums you are used to, but don't expect to be immune to people attacking you if you do something they feel is wrong. That's how things work around here, even for old members - we don't shut up if we disagree with something. Not everyone likes that, and it's fine. But taking it personally like this seems like something you wouldn't do. I mean, judging from what you said earlier, you don't care much about the drama or if people backstab you, because it's only about a game. If being told that it's not appropriate to share your mother's secrets online (to people you just pretend to like, no less) upsets you this much, how do you think you'll feel if someone you actually like and trust start turning against you?

Ah well, seems paysiters will be paysiters. Any excuse to stay ignorant of the paysite debate is a good one, right?

You're doing it wrong, you don't pretend to like someone, lie through your teeth and then admit it, you stupid boy, has atwat taught you nothing?

Here's how it goes   ::)

First you pretend to like someone, lie through your teeth, then never admit you're anything but nice, you never admit in public you're an asshole.

All badmouthing must be done via mail or PM, to everyone on your mailing list. do it publically on a forum, there is no way out, do it in private because when you upset people and they start blabbing your wicked lies, you can go to plan A or B of denial. Plan A ='they're all liars', (if they have screens, refer to plab B= 'That screen's a fake')

Sympathy post was good, but not perfect, you failed to blame someone for your personal issues, this leads to a failiure on your part to get your sympathisers to direct their anger to someone you don't like. Also there was no alternative goal for the sympathiser to aim for, adding a simple sentance like 'this is making me ill' or if this carries on I will be hospitalised' will let your sympathisers know if they don't show sympathy or attack the person you claim is responsable for your feelings, something bad will happen and it will be their fault.

You also needed to add a good scenario for your sympathisers, successful sympathisers will need a percieved reward, of course you never have to actually give them anything, but making them think they will gain by sympathising with you will encourage them to act on your behalf. try offering them a high position on your new website, or even a paid job. By the time they realise it's not gonna happen, you will have new sympathisers to replace them. Get rid of the old used sympathisers and don't forget to use either plan A or plan B of denial for damage limitation.

There was no need to add the bit about the family member with throat cancer, we won't find that amusing, if you want to crack jokes, atwat finds that sort of thing hilarious, we would just feel sad for the person who has it. she is the one more likely to forward it around with a witty comment, so make her day and mail her the details, using the subject heading of : keep this just between us please.

You're idea for a site has been done before, a site offering shitty content, run by atwat, Where all the pay creators can go and talk shit about PMBD and freesites has already been done. you can find that here:
www.thesimsresource.com (http://www.thesimsresource.com) Try to think of something new and exciting.

Do all of the above and you will be ready for your first minion, you can get your minion to post your denials for you, so you wont have to do it yourself, you can sit on your ass and bark orders via mail/IM/PM.  For an example of how to get a minion to do your bidding, check through your own IM history and mailbox for recieved mails from atwat and study content.

Hope this helps.

Awww guys lay off sheyza. SHE has a lot of issues that SHE has to deal with within HERSELF. I kind of feel sorry for HER because SHE doesn't even know who SHE is, and tries to come here and tell everyone else about themselves. Isn't that right sheyza? You talk about respect, but then you lie out of your face?!  ???

I just wanted you to see that my mom IS a very good woman, and it's because she does love me, and she made sacrifices just so I could live and be happy someday into my adulthood.

Well, way to put her most sensitive secret on the internet for people you perceive as nasty peices of work to tear down.  You prince.  ::)

Do YOU not care about other's feelings? Aparently fucking not.

I don't care about your feelings if it means sacrificing lots of women who are unsure about their very core being in favour of not telling you off.  And again, egocentric much?  Out of all this, you are apparently the one with the biggest hurt - or rather butthurt.

There, now you have something juicy to talk about. Shey blew the hell off at PMBD.

You can't even hold our attention for 2 pages - after this post, I won't reply again (*unless you return - cause all flouncers do - even if you're just reading this right now without logging in) and it's still the same day for me - I couldn't be bothered gossiping about you.  Believe it or not - you're small potatoes, and hardly the key concern of my world, or anyone else's here.

Yeah, it will be called "PMBD - Sucks Ass". Where all the pay creators can go and talk shit about you. Then we'll see how much YOU like it.

You're too late - there's already one of those.

Anyone know of any good dandruff solution?

Yeah - my sister's a hairdresser so she gave me the poop - anything with coal tar in it.  Coolington uses it - works miracles.  Head n Shoulders dries your hair out.  If you can't get coal tar, anything with teatree oil in it.  :)

This. XD

Quite frankly, Sheyza, you're coming across as anything but un-emotional. Rather, you're a bratty kid pretending to be an adult by thinking you are numb to the events happening around him. Sadly, in doing so you become blind on two fronts: blind to the world around him(AKa the Atwat, whom STILL sucks at creating, and now sucks -haha- at giving good head to TomAss) and to his own inner world, unable to grasp reality or his own motives, and he is in chronic terror of both. Hence the little temper tantrums you toss here and there that rivals the best fits thrown by obnoxious two-year olds.

Anyways, what this means simplistic minion of Atwat is that your pretend unemotional or emotionally deficient self causes thy little brain to suffer from a particular kind of a "morally-weak will". Certain emotions are critical for doing and being moved to do what is right and in not doing what one knows is bad(paysites, Atwat relations etc). And this cripples you.

Therefore Welcome to the basic class of Mind-Manipulation 101 taught by Instructor 'craptastic Atwat' herself!  I hear you're her best student. =)


--about the dandruff? Which ever method you choose make sure the shamps contain sulfur, selenium sulfide, or pyrithione zinc. Helps combat it something fierce.  :)

And you people fed off of Aikea's pain when she left TSR too. Watching all of this like it's a sideshow. She was very emotional over that time, and you people fed on it like hungry dogs. Preying on her feelings. What the hell is wrong with YOU?

Er, excuse me?  I don't understand what this has to do with anything, especially since, as I recall, that's not even what happened.  Was I emotional?  Yes, but certainly not in the way you're describing.  I was overwhelmed, certainly, but in a very positive way.  All the stress and frustrations that came with constantly being in the middle of the 'paysite debate' were finally melting away.  The hardest part came from the bullshit I had to deal with to get our items on TSR set free, which has nothing to do with anyone on this particular site.  Sounds to me like you're being fed some serious bullshit by Thomas/Anita.

Frankly, I'm appalled by the hypocrisy you've shown these past few days. No one asked you to "pretend" to like anyone (or maybe Anita did), and I really have no idea why you felt like you needed to.

OK, here's what I don't get. Nothing of what Sheyza said RE:rape or joking about men's tendencies (because I realized that he/she was joking) offended me, personally. But what I don't get is why he would air his mother's secret to a bunch of strangers on the Internet, especially when it finally came out that he actually hates our guts. You know, I'll air all my secrets (Raped? Check. Repeatedly gang-raped? Check. Went through rape trial where I was basically told that since I didn't try to escape the situation I was in, I must have wanted what I got? Check.) I'll tell you anything about me because I'm in an emotional place where I can do that, now. But to air other people's secrets, particularly the secrets of people I claim to love? No, no, and no again.

And really, I hate fakiness. If you hate someone or a group of people, don't pretend to like them. I mean, I don't hate pro-paysite people. I disagree with their stand on the paysite issue, of course, but I don't as a general rule hate people, not over something as ultimately trivial as the Sims paysite issue. So, I can have civil, even friendly, conversations with people with whom I disagree. But I would never pretend to be all buddy-buddy and then suddenly turn around an start hating. It's just...rude. I always strive to be WYSIWYG, myself. You hurt a lot fewer people that way.

So, to Sheyza ('cuz I know you're still reading, luv): Say what you mean, mean what you say. It's good life advice. If you don't like a group of people for whatever reason, why on Earth would you try to ingratiate yourself with them? Unless, of course, you were here on a mission or something...

And now...I will end my pointless rambling.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Mheyin on 2008 June 20, 17:07:08
Coming out of lurking status here, because I would just like to say that I was in Shey's corner at first. I also stubbornly insist on finding out for myself how a person really is instead of listening to how everyone else tells me they are. Of course, I listen to their opinion, take it into consideration, and THEN decide for myself whether or not it's true, because let's face it... some people just rub certain people the wrong way, even if they're very nice people. It seems to me, as someone with an outside opinion - having followed along the conversation and not actually being a part of the discussion itself - that people were trying to help you, Shey. They weren't telling you to be careful with Anita as part of a personal vendetta against her, they were telling you their experiences with her out of concern for your feelings. Nobody here wanted to see you get fucked over. We aren't really heartless assholes at all, trust me. Well, except for Pescado, and I know he'll take that as a great compliment, so you're welcome, Pes.  :P Anita has proved herself time and again within this community to be, shall we say, not such a nice person. I know you aren't seeing it because she's been nice to you, and hopefully, she doesn't screw you over the way she screwed over many other people, because for the most part, you seem like a nice person as well. Somewhat mixed-up, perhaps, but overall, you're obviously at least trying to be a nice person and do what you think is right. However, it seems since she's already saying that she's a partner in your site and that it will be pay, despite the fact that you stated otherwise, that she's already stirring up a big pot of shit soup. All I can say is best of luck, with your site, with Anita, and with your other endeavors.

And now for a few random comments:

I wasn't trying to get sympathy. I just wanted you to see that my mom IS a very good woman, and it's because she does love me, and she made sacrifices just so I could live and be happy someday into my adulthood. Any woman that does that has alot of guts, and I don't care who knows that bit of my personal life. Because, and hear me out, I Am Proud Of My Mom.

You should be proud of your mom. She's obviously a strong woman to have survived such a horrible thing, and the fact that she made it through that ordeal in one piece makes ME proud of her too. I know - KNOW - what it feels like to have that happen to you (repeatedly even). And to shed a little bit of light on why she may not have spoken up - even to her sister, whom she's close to - it's very likely that shame and fear played a part. Also, given her propensity to want to protect people, which she is clearly doing with you as her child, she likely didn't want her sister to have that same fear and didn't want her sister to worry that it might happen to her as well. Victims of abuse often feel very maternal toward their siblings, and will do whatever it takes to protect them from harm, especially in a situation where nothing is being done about the abuse (and might I add that that she's passed that quality on to you as well. You can tell by the fact that you're saying we should talk shit about you and leave the other people alone. Personally, I think it's a great trait, even though it does smack of Chris "Leave Britney Alone" Crocker). There's also a very good chance that your grandfather may have threatened her or otherwise used intimidation tactics to convince her to keep her mouth shut, including saying that if she told, he would hurt her again. That is absolutely the way abusers work. He may have also told her that if she told, he would be taken away, and as much as that sounds like it would be a good thing, victims of incest have very confusing feelings about it. On one hand, you would love for the person to be taken away so that you don't have to deal with the abuse, but on the other, that person is still your father or mother or uncle or whoever and you love them whether you want to or not. Plus, what happens when they are taken away? Will your family be mad at you for "destroying the family?" Will you end up homeless if the breadwinner leaves? Also, I'll repeat what someone else said about people KNOWING. That is a horrible thing for victims of abuse. When it happens to you, you want to pretend it didn't. You want to just bury it inside your head and call it a bad dream. You don't want people to know, because people absolutely look at you differently when word gets out. Whether they look at you with contempt or disgust or, worst of all, with pity, they treat you differently, and all you want is normalcy. I'm not sure where you got the impression that anyone thought that your mother was not a good person, however. If I missed that post, someone please direct me to it. As far as I saw, nobody said she was a bad person. They only said you were shitty for bringing it up in a public forum when she obviously was not comfortable enough to bring it up on her own for all these many years, and frankly, I agree with them. Also, I believe you said she brought it up in a family sort of setting, which would indicate that she wouldn't want it to spread outside the family. Regardless of the fact that she most likely is not active in the Sims community, and would not find out that you said something about it, it was wrong of you to bring it up here. It's disrespectful of your mother's wishes.

Also, commenting on the joke about how the hell can a man get raped, it's obviously been explained already how it can happen, but also keep in mind that it's jokes like that that make it less likely for a male victim to come forward. Like someone said, the situation is already humiliating if you're a woman, but when you're a man and it's not "supposed" to happen, it can be even more embarassing.

 
I don't need your sympathy, or your smart attitudes. You can sit here and bitch about me, Anita, and anyone else you damn well please, but know this, we don't care about a damned thing you people say, and we don't need your "approval" to be good, decent respectful human beings.

Of course you don't need our approval. EVERYONE should be expected to be good, decent, and respectful human beings. Unfortunately, as I mentioned above, Anita has not proven herself to posess any one of those qualities, unless it suits her current agenda. Even then, it's just for show. Oh, I'm sure that in her "normal life" she probably is a good and decent and respectful person, but people often have different personalities behind a computer screen, personalities which are much closer to how they are inside their own heads where they don't have to be good, decent, respectful human beings.

I've about had it with playing nice and acting like I actually like you people. Truth is, I can't stand you.

I'm very curious about why you came here in the first place if you hate us all so much. Really, it makes no sense at all.

I'm so tired of seeing you 'mature' people tear away at other humans that you don't even know, just to get a few good kicks. Just look at how bad you ate away at all these individuals. And I guess you acomplished your goal didn't you?

I think you missed the mark slightly on our goal here. Our goal is to destroy paysites, not people. There are other people in this community whose goal is to destroy people.

I hear all these decent people, ranting to me, confiding in me, making me help them deal with the emotional problems that you people cause for them.

Us telling them that they're doing something wrong (when they ARE doing something wrong, from a legal standpoint) is not what is giving them emotional problems. Any emotional problems they have were clearly pre-existing. They're just throwing hissy fits, akin to a toddler in the grocery store being told "no" by her mother when she reaches for a package of cookies in the aisle. Mommy is the worst person in the entire world at that moment. You've just demonstrated exactly what that looks like. We told you shit you didn't want to hear and disagreed with and you flew off the handle.  And maybe next time someone comes to you - their supposed friend - and MAKES you help them deal with their emotional problems that we somehow managed to give them over the internets, you should do what that mother does and ignore them. If you ignore them, their whining and crying and screaming eventually tapers off to a tiny whimper and then eventually goes away and soon, they're all playing in the sandbox together once again. And I only give that advice to you because it seems (with the use of the words "making you help them") that you have absolutely no interest in their feelings at all, which is interesting seeing as how you just wrote all that shit about how we're heartless, emotionless pricks. Also, I thought that you "don't care about a damned thing {us} people say." If that's the case, why are these people so effed up over us telling them having a paysite is wrong?

Atwat? You are calling a 50 something year old woman a female genital, and I am the emotionless one here? Fuck no.

Once again, she presents herself as a major female genital. We're calling that one as we see it, agree with us or not.

And you know what? I might just open up a site with Anita now. Yeah, it will be called "PMBD - Sucks Ass". Where all the pay creators can go and talk shit about you. Then we'll see how much YOU like it.

If you listen to what Anita has been telling everyone, you're already opening up a site with her. A pay site. And unless it really is a paysite, we won't give a flying fuck. People talk shit about us all the time, it's part of being a pirate. And if it is a paysite, well, then your stuff will be in the Booty and we still probably won't give a flying fuck. Yo ho. Now give us our rum back.

I can't say I'm surprised by Sheyza's rant because actually I've been expecting it since he came here.  He let some of the lies he's been told by Atwat spill out.  I am sad that another impressionable person has fallen to Atwat's influence. 

The older I get, the more I understand why people used to say to me, "But you're just a teenager!  You can't possibly understand the scope of this."  As an example, when my boyfriend and I were teenagers, we used to say *rapes you* or *molests you* to each other.  Now in hindsight it sounds incredibly stupid.  If you had told us to stop back then we probably would of just ignored you.  We grew out of it on our own.

I can understand his want to numb himself so he doesn't feel pain but that just makes him ripe to be taken advantage of.  Being numb you may not feel pain but you won't feel joy either.  You also can't empathize with others while you're numb.

So while he hates us, I don't hate him.  I feel like he's a lost lamb and I stand by what I said to him previously.

Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: glasscigarette on 2008 June 20, 20:15:34
Let me preface this post by stating that I know nothing about any of Sheyza's past dealings in the Sims community, whatever they may be. I know his TSR identity, and that's the extent of my knowledge. I've only been actively involved (ie vocal) in the community for a short while, and I often miss out on a lot of the juiciest gossip. Also, let me say that many PMBD posters are some of the most intelligent, articulate and opinionated people that I have ever come upon on the internet, and I love that.

But you know what? I'm going to run the risk of making a lot of people here very mad. Sheyza said some genuinely shitty things that he probably should have reworded or not even said at all, but he wasn't the only one saying things that were completely asinine. The "penis-owners" comment, in particular, got me up in arms. How can we sit here and get all high and mighty about how sexism goes both ways, and then just let that comment go relatively unnoticed? If the term "womb-carriers" had been used to describe women, would we all have been okay with it? Perhaps it was a joke. In that case, the speaker ought to have taken the same advice that many people were giving Sheyza as everything began to go to hell: just watch what you say. Imagine what it would sound like to others, and make sure that you are blatantly, transparently obvious about it when you are cracking a joke. Then, consider if the joke (or comment) is going to be well received by the audience you are writing it for.

And, when Sheyza finally broke down, a small part of me understood why. I don't agree with how he handled it, mind you, but I could see it coming, and not because he is a TSR creator or a friend of Atwa's or whatever. Yes, he made some idiotic comments, and yes, we have every right to tell him that he is wrong. Finally, yes, he reacted very poorly in his anger. But the hostility contained in some of the resulting comments...well, he wasn't the only one who came across looking foolish, in the opinion of someone who read the whole interaction, after the fact.

Having read his earlier posts, I feel that perhaps better results would have been gained by approaching him about it in a different manner. After all, he wasn't posting like our average troll initially. He was more articulate than Sim_Outlaw, for instance, and probably capable of more growth and learning than said moron, if he is approached the right way. That said, I'm still not sure how to process that little rage explosion. It seems the Shey is showing his age. Too bad we weren't able to snare another of those rare but precious underagers who can sometimes behave like they are not. That said, I am not defending Shey's insensitivity, or saying that people shouldn't react however they damn well please when faced with that kind of behavior. He said several things that needed to be put straight. But, he wasn't the only one who acted like an ass. He was just the main focus of the convo and therefore the target of the attention, so hostile, insensitive and even inaccurate comments made by others were essentially ignored.

I have very strong opinions (and a lot of education, both in a classroom setting and in the real world) about sexism, as I am sure many of you do as well. Sexism is the root of a great deal of the discussion that took place here. (Well, that and internet etiquette.) I came in a little late to make most of my opinions known without feeding a dying issue, and, in an unprecedented move by me, I'm going to opt out of that particular aspect of the discussion. If anyone wants to talk to be about how I feel about the topic, just ask. I am normally more than vocal about the issue, but I'm kind of pissed off about other things in this thread, too.

Maybe I just like to be as angry as possible, and don't like to limit myself to one target. ;)

My indignation. Let me show you it.

I had to go look for that comment.  It's almost, almost like "car owner".  Or lung owner.  Slight distinction between "penis on legs" and "penis owner".  I don't know.  It's easy to skip over posts if they are not the target.

IMO, Sheyza is a very young person in a very difficult situation (if what he told about his parents is true). Because teens are dealing with many confusing emotions that often are new to them, they sometimes shut down their emotional responses and often come over as emotionally cold and uncaring. Because they do not know how to deal with this very new and distressing information, they will refuse to deal with it altogether. In a way this is understandable, as teens are often not mature enough to deal with things like that (the situation with Sheyza, his mother and her father).

Please note, I'm not saying that all teens are incapable of empathy or that they are insensitive jerks (even if others may think they are), that is just one coping strategy for them. In time they usually become able to deal with emotions better, and as a result will be able to see themselves in other people's shoes. I'm hoping that one day Sheyza will also understand why the situation was so distressing to her mother she didn't tell anyone about it, even her sister.


About dandruff; depends on what is causing it. If your scalp and hair are very greasy, you need a drying shampoo. If you scalp is dry, a drying shampoo will only make it worse.
Ask your hairdresser what s/he would recommend for your hair. If s/he's a trained professional, s/he should be able to recommend products best suited for your scalp.

BTW, the tar shampoo apparently works, my ex-BF God, that's a long time ago! Almost 12 years! I'm old. :'( used to swear by the stuff.

I don't think he knows what he is doing at all.

It's easy to be a cynic.  I choose to pity him instead.

I have to agree with you there.

The "penis-owners" comment, in particular, got me up in arms. How can we sit here and get all high and mighty about how sexism goes both ways, and then just let that comment go relatively unnoticed? If the term "womb-carriers" had been used to describe women, would we all have been okay with it?
I had to go look for that comment.  It's almost, almost like "car owner".  Or lung owner.  Slight distinction between "penis on legs" and "penis owner".  I don't know.  It's easy to skip over posts if they are not the target.

That's certainly true, but I think the distinction is considerably more slight than you indicate. "Carrier" means basically the same thing as "owner" in a biological sense, and I have a hard time believing that "womb-carrier" wouldn't raise a few eyebrows, if not hackles, in this particular forum. It still pretty much comes across as "womb on legs" (to use your own example) and not in the innocuous sense of lungs, cars, etc. All I meant was that many of us would have been extremely upset to see something like that written, but we were totally willing to ignore "penis-owners," and that seems quite hypocritical to me.

Besides, lungs are neutral territory. Everyone has them. Nobody can say "Well, you have lungs" and mean it as an insult unless they are joking, whereas many of us have been told that a bout of moodiness is "just because you're PMSing." Isn't that pretty much the same as saying "Well, that's because you have a uterus"? Vice versa, a man who claims he is not prone to shows of emotion might be told, "Well, that's because you have a penis." And wouldn't many of us see that as somewhat derogatory, in many contexts? Perhaps that's not the best example. All I'm getting at is the fact that gender and sexuality are hot button topics, and, in the wrong hands, can be used in a misguided attempt at insulting another person, whereas lungs and cars are not. I might say that a friend of mine is gay and mean it in the entirely innocent, honest sense, whereas a bigot might call someone "gay" in an idiotic attempt to insult them. Invoking the image of another person's genitals is often used in such a way even if it isn't always (or even often) true, and that's simply not the case with most other body parts. I don't find it insulting when someone calls me a girl, but I have been called such in a derogatory way. It's part intent and part interpretation. Anyway, I'm digging myself into confusion and mixed examples, and I think you already know what I mean.

I doubt that the poster of the comment (I'm intentionally leaving out names) meant what she said in a nasty way. I was just trying to point out that it's hypocritical to jump all over one person for doing something very similar, while excusing it from others.

But, like you said...hindsight, and alla that.

And yaaay, Alia's here! I've been gone for a bit, so this is the first time I've seen you since I got back. :)

I thought someone had busted that person out as a female, so I'm experiencing some gender confusion about them at the moment. Regardless, if any kid of mine busted out my secret, my deepest darkest hidden soul-shriveling secret on a web board, I would so rip their head off and shit down their neck!!! Yes, we all live with problems and torments and shit that others may not possibly understand, but we choose to tell our own head twisters in our own time! It was not their place to drag it into the light of day.

I've seen, done and experienced things that ought to have killed my very soul, but I survived and went on. Do I still flashback to them given certain stimuli? You bet your sweet fucking ass I do. But I'm not going to sit here and tell you that my sister-in-law's cousin had something so horrendous happen to her that she is unable to speak to this day, because that isn't my place. What is told to me, stays with me. And what I overhear surely doesn't get mentioned. If this idiot wants to know what took their mom so long to mention the happening, then they should ask their mother themselves.

As a matter of totally uncared about trivia, I own one but it's attached to the man I married. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

As for what we call Atwat, would we rather call her Cunta? I mean, that is another even more derogatory term for the female genitalia, but twat is also slang for "idiot, twerp, git, etc." Make up yer mind asswipe, I don't have all goddamn day!

Tom was away for 4 days last week. Atwa had already predicted his absence
before the fact, saying he and his wife would be undergoing fertility treatment
after trying for a baby for some considerable time. (It appears that Tommy's
gun fires blanks)

 Curiously this info was deliberately 'leaked' for reasons unknown, she even
went to the lengths of repeatedly emphasising to each recipient how awful it
would be if the pirates got hold of this information, If it is indeed true that
Tom can't get it up, it is very interesting why Anita would want this to get
out. could it be:

 1) She's angry at Tom for not making her new account Beasims into FA

 2) She still holds a grudge for getting canned from her AM job

 3) There is no truth to it and both her and Tom made this up to test leaks
(unlikely - as what man would want it spread around that he only gets hard for
money)

 4) She's no longer in love with him now she knows he couldn't please her in
the way she'd like.

 5) she's jealous of the closeness he has with his wife, who has stood by him
even though he can't raise a smile.

 6) she just cant resist spreading gossip, as its the only thing she can spread
around Tom these days.

 7) she's spreading stuff just because she can...and evidently he cant!

 8) she's jealous that a baby would come between her and Tom and is hitting
back

 9) She knows she can no longer rely on Tom when her batteries run out.

 10) Its her way of kicking him where it hurts, even though that may not apply
anymore.

 Whatever your reasons, Thank you Atwa, and just this once I'll post it for
you, it's as funny as hell.

Personally, I couldn't care less whether Thomass is completely impotent or a fucking stallion. I think the last thing this world needs is Thomass-spawn, but beyond that... *yawn*

I do feel like I should mention, though, that infertility and impotence are two very different conditions. In order to be 'firing blanks', a man would have to be able to 'get it up'. (To the best of my knowledge anyway. There may very well be situations in which a man can ejaculate without an erection, but I don't know about them.)

I have to agree. This issue has nothing to do with Sims or the community other than the fact that Thomas was away for a few days (and Atwat knew about it), and it crosses the line. I feel dirty knowing this; if Atwat truly is spreading this information, she should be ashamed of herself. I'm sure I, like many, have probably joked about Thomas' manhood on more than one occasion, but I refuse to engage in any sort of comic teasing or speculation on this particular RL matter.

And although I know nothing about whatever affliction Thomas or his wife may be suffering from (and I do not want to), I feel the need to clarify: using fertility treatments usually does not mean that the person involved cannot get an erection or ejaculate, so teasing in that manner is silly even if it weren't a little too personal. It might be funny to question the virility of this man who we all despise, but this is hitting a little too close to home and getting into some invasive territory, IMO.

Rose: people like the ones you've described disgust me.  >:(

I hope you're very proud of yourself, Anita.

------

Edited to add: Coconut, please don't misunderstand me. I don't think there's anything wrong with you informing the phorum about this issue, because Atwa already spilled the beans. It's just further evidence of her desperation for attention and her inability to keep her mouth shut. Complete treachery. I just don't want to add anything that might be construed as mockery of Thomas or his wife, as it's Atwa who should be embarrassed about this, not them. I have plenty of ways to criticize him without delving into extremely painful, private, RL matters.

I think it's safe to say that atwat knows few boundaries when it comes to striking out at those whom she feels have slighted her. It almost makes me feel for Thomass. But hey, he hired and no doubt encouraged her behavior in the past, so I guess it's just fair that he knows what it's like to be a recipient of that kind of grotesque behavior.

Because she wasn't the target.  Like I said, it's easy to skip over certain things if they look "okay", especially when the bigger issue at the moment was dealing with Sheyza and sharing intimate details that are not his to share and making jokes about rape.

It still pretty much comes across as "womb on legs" (to use your own example) and not in the innocuous sense of lungs, cars, etc. All I meant was that many of us would have been extremely upset to see something like that written, but we were totally willing to ignore "penis-owners," and that seems quite hypocritical to me.

Besides, lungs are neutral territory. Everyone has them. Nobody can say "Well, you have lungs" and mean it as an insult

And every male is born with a penis and every female with a uterus.  Lungs can be a point of contention if one of them has only one lung, or lung cancer due to smoking, or has asthma and someone is mocking them for always being out of breath or out out of shape, or anything.  People will fight about anything.  You can accidentally nudge a person while walking by them and suddenly it's Armageddon.

Quote
All I'm getting at is the fact that gender and sexuality are hot button topics, and, in the wrong hands, can be used in a misguided attempt at insulting another person, whereas lungs and cars are not.
Then you've never seen people argue about their cars before.  :P  People can get heated if anyone insults their vehicle, maybe say they can smoke the car in a race or something.  I've hung around even people who are obsessed with their cars, getting upgrades, taking care of their "babies".  You scratch or dent it, you pay in blood.  You beat them in a race and they go around telling people you cheated.  :P  I'm not trying to downplay the issue of sexism, but it isn't the only issue on the planet.  People have killed for less.

Quote
I might say that a friend of mine is gay and mean it in the entirely innocent, honest sense, whereas a bigot might call someone "gay" in an idiotic attempt to insult them.
I doubt the person who used "penis owner" meant it in a hostile manner.  If you can do it with "gay", why not her with "penis owner"?  I doubt she's a sexist who hates all men.

I don't think it's that similar that they deserve equal punishment.  One flippant comment in contrast to several posts demonstrating a great amount of insensitivity?  Instead of leaving out names, just say who it is.  I doubt she would have been up in arms about it much if you said it earlier.  Slap on the wrist, sure, but I doubt she needs to be taken to the firing squad.  But like I said, she wasn't the main target, it's easy to miss a post like that, and I doubt she would have fought much about it if someone had said something about it instead of dancing around it.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: glasscigarette on 2008 June 21, 01:36:57
I never said they deserved equal punishment. If you check my original post, I didn't even say she was the only person who said something that was rude. It was simply the comment that stuck out. My only point is that the comment would never have gone unnoticed if it had been about women, whether or not it was intentionally inflammatory. Everyone who I have repeated the phrase "penis-owner" to has found it offensive, because it sounds like it is meant that way. I don't think it was, but it sounds that way. I was just saying that if we are going to tell one person to be more sensitive, perhaps the rest of us should try to do the same.

I know. I'm not saying anyone should do anything about it. I just don't like hypocrisy and I might very well point it out if I notice it; I also don't like it when women get away with saying something that might be sexist while a man would very well be crucified in the same situation, or vice versa. I don't offense was intended by any parties in this thread, perhaps until Shey's big blow-out, but I feel that I have the right to say what I think even if it's not a matter of life, death or drama.

seriously tho, things can get taken out of context so easily these days, with all this polliticle correctness shit that is going on, people are no longer aware of what is considered offensive or not. I am not downplaying these peoples intelligence, but people dont know what otheres will take offence to.
i dont care if someone calls me a "penis-owner", id be flattered if they did lol, i have longish(but male styled) hair, and im skinny, and if my back is facing someone, they come up behind me and say "excuse me miss" and get the shock of their life when i turn around or speak lol.
i also dont mind being classed as "gay" because i am, people can call me gay all they like, it doesnt bother me.
just like how me and my mates, if we are talking about a group of straight people(, we call them "heteros" as in heterosexuals. we mainly use this abbreaviation when we are mocking a group of straight guys who go so OTT in trying to impress a group of women, we just turn and say "oh, the heteros are in".

now, i hate tom ass as much as everyone else here, but i think that the whole subject about is manhood and his infertile talk is a bit much. before it was a joke, and i laughed at what was said, until it came to light him and his wife have been having trouble getting pregnant possibly due to him "shooting blanks". then it becomes a completely different situation.

im not saying that people here have taken it too far, cos they havent, the jokeing started before then (i believe), and from the looks of it, others have also taken a dislike to the info that was leaked.

and now im babbling on lol. its like 3.30am here(uk) and the school  up the street from me has gone up in flames, so im a bit awake at all that, and im still going on, so im just gonna shut up now lol.

I was not attacking any one person, nor was I personally offended by anything that I read. Gah.

Talking about it nonchalantly as he/she did, just made me angry. Speaking as a person who has lived through that, if my child got on the internet and talked about anything I told them in confidence, I would beat the hell out of them.
 
  It is a highly personal issue and I am sure that if his/her mother wanted us to know about it, she bloody well would have told us herself.   :(

The "penis-owners" comment, in particular, got me up in arms. How can we sit here and get all high and mighty about how sexism goes both ways, and then just let that comment go relatively unnoticed?

I try to have one fight at a time though.  And I would find it far more offensive if someone were to say that they were the "penis brigade".  I think that the poster was avoiding using "men" as a generic term to avoid associating all males with the "male honour code" so inherently tied up in the word "men".

Slight distinction between "penis on legs" and "penis owner".  I don't know.

Penis on legs would get me riled. Penis owner would not, but owned by penis would.

"Carrier" means basically the same thing as "owner" in a biological sense, and I have a hard time believing that "womb-carrier" wouldn't raise a few eyebrows, if not hackles, in this particular forum. It still pretty much comes across as "womb on legs" (to use your own example) and not in the innocuous sense of lungs, cars, etc. All I meant was that many of us would have been extremely upset to see something like that written, but we were totally willing to ignore "penis-owners," and that seems quite hypocritical to me.

Ah - no - "womb on legs" is reducing a person to a thing while "womb owner" would not raise hackles  - similar to "brunette" or "blonde" it is an identifying feature of a person.  I think that reducing people to their smallest quotient is totally the wrong thing to do. There is a difference in saying one is identified with a group via common traits, and one is that particular organ.

I didn't like it when "housewives with no midol" was used, but I probably wouldn't have bucked up quite as much if "pirates" was used - mainly because through housewives, the poster was seeking to diminish us, while pirates is merely part of the group formation.

What the flying fuck? Why the hell would we even want to know about that? I think this is going too far.

I appreciate the information coconut - but I agree with Nouk here - this is not mockworthy for me - it is rather that this leak shows how much Atwat deserves our scorn - this is horrible information to leak in order to win a war in the sims community.

All good points, Cala, some of which I thought of after posting, but I chose not to rehash the issue even more. And like I said, I did not think that the poster was attempting to be offensive in any way. I tested the phrases on a few RL people, and all said that if they heard someone referring to men as "penis-owners" or women as "womb-carriers," they would likely assume that it was in a sexist sense. Again, I did not find it personally offensive, but I can see how some people would. That really wasn't my point; I was just saying that there were several people in the thread who said things that might be considered insensitive. Shey was the king, but he was not entirely alone.

But I digress. I stirred some shit, and I got splattered. I haz sore nose nao.

Now, okay, given that I'm the one to have come up with "penis owners" and seeing what discussions it has caused:

I'm sorry if this has offended anyone. In hindsight I'd say it was somewhat inaccurate - mostly because women are just as capable of sexism against themselves as are men; I should have written "anyone" instead. (And, yes, there obviously is such a thing as anti-male sexism, it just doesn't have anywhere near the same impact!) This is a total trigger subject for me for various reasons. I'm not about to elaborate, but feel free to ask if for one reason or another you absolutely need to know.

Now back to lurkerdom!

Realizing I'm interrupting macros--and I apologize--I just read Coconut's post, and...seriously. A post from Coconut = my day made, even if it is TMI. Thoma$$ and Atwat deserve a good thrashing, but I feel bad for his wife getting dragged through the muck like this.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: sherrie on 2008 June 22, 13:07:08
Yes, I feel sorry for his wife, but I felt sorry for her long before atwat leaked this.  ::)

As for Tomass himself, sorry no, I have no sympathy, the main reason being, when atwat made fun of someones brain tumor, correct me if I'm wrong, but I didn't read anything about him feeling sorry enough to appologise to her victim for his member of staff belittling and laughing at her serious and distressing illness, no, all I remember reading is a recent post saying he was downright nasty to her. At the very least he should have appologised on behalf of TSR, but he didnt feel that compassionate, so I have a problem feeling any compassion for his non life threatening problem.

I truly believe this was leaked on purpose, I've been there, seen that many times. She has always 'leaked' info, saying 'your the only person I've told' then I find out everyone with a mailbox got the same info, then she'd have a link to the post when it came out here, within minutes of it being posted, which often made me wonder what she was doing on here continually refreshing, as if she was expecting something to be posted, then she'd rush off to Tomass, telling me it's better if he hears it first from her. she would then busy herself, basking in the drama holding her little anti pirate investigations, bragging how closly she and he were working together to close the leak, while taking the oppertunity to accuse everyone and anyone of being the mole. Tomass would get bored and it all would die down, then another leak would happen, and she would bask in the drama again, even if it was about her.

I often thought then, and still think now, even atwat couldn't be so stupid, she knows someone is leaking info, so why does she keep telling everyone things she shouldn't, she'd even told secrets to people who she'd accused of being pirates and moles on the leak before, and clearly she's still doing that. Even recently she made sure everyone knew about her beasims account, thats not someone who's trying to hide and avoid drama, thats someone who always wants to be at the center of it. it's the same with her and that kids 'secret' paysite.

I'm not a gambling person, but I'd put money on it that she's basking like a shark on this latest drama, and she's gonna milk maximum attention from Tomass and anyone who will listen, and is contacting everyone she knows with the link or screenshot to coconuts post, in the process making sure even more people find out about Tomass' bedroom problems. Tomass should be ashamed of the embarrassment he has caused for his wife, I'm sure she did not want him to confide their personal problems in some old drama whore, nor to give attention to that drama whore when she gossips their private stuff for her own attention needs.

Tom was away for 4 days last week. Atwa had already predicted his absence
before the fact, saying he and his wife would be undergoing fertility treatment
after trying for a baby for some considerable time. (It appears that Tommy's
gun fires blanks)

 Curiously this info was deliberately 'leaked' for reasons unknown, she even
went to the lengths of repeatedly emphasising to each recipient how awful it
would be if the pirates got hold of this information, If it is indeed true that
Tom can't get it up, it is very interesting why Anita would want this to get
out. could it be:

 1) She's angry at Tom for not making her new account Beasims into FA

 2) She still holds a grudge for getting canned from her AM job

 3) There is no truth to it and both her and Tom made this up to test leaks
(unlikely - as what man would want it spread around that he only gets hard for
money)

 4) She's no longer in love with him now she knows he couldn't please her in
the way she'd like.

 5) she's jealous of the closeness he has with his wife, who has stood by him
even though he can't raise a smile.

 6) she just cant resist spreading gossip, as its the only thing she can spread
around Tom these days.

 7) she's spreading stuff just because she can...and evidently he cant!

 8) she's jealous that a baby would come between her and Tom and is hitting
back

 9) She knows she can no longer rely on Tom when her batteries run out.

 10) Its her way of kicking him where it hurts, even though that may not apply
anymore.

 Whatever your reasons, Thank you Atwa, and just this once I'll post it for
you, it's as funny as hell.

I'm sure she did not want him to confide their personal problems in some old drama whore...


This last is why I feel no sympathy. She used his personal issues as a way to "find the leak"?  Nice.  But it is his fault for telling her in the first place.   He should have known she would splash it all over.

Now, now chilluns. ;) Coco has been kind enough to share information with us on a number of occasions. I don't think there's any real reason to believe that she's Atwat. We've seen time and time again that "private" info has a way of getting out in this community, and Coco happens to have an inside seat to watch some of the TSR drama unfold. Just because she knows more than we do, it's not proof that she's one of our mortal TSR enemies.  ::) Unless there is some sort of genuine evidence to support this idea, I'm going to continue to be grateful for the info that Coco shares rather than insulting her. I may not agree with the mocking course that part of this thread took, but Coco's info has been invaluable more than once.

And just to be clear, I don't think Thomass had the right to belittle another person's medical condition, but that also doesn't mean that I'm going to lower myself to his level and start doing the same thing in some sort of immature, misguided attempt at revenge. Yes, it's a minor sort of poetic justice, but I think the situation speaks for itself and doesn't necessitate me rubbing his nose in it. He's an asshole for doing what he does, and Atwa is an asshole for sharing this extremely private information (amongst other things). Yes, it's even more repulsive if this was done in an attempt to locate the source of an information leak, but I'm not going to make fun of a medical condition because I don't like them. That would make me more like them. Coco shared this info as yet another illustration of Atwa's backstabbing, attention-whoring personality, but I'm not going to take it as an excuse to act like a brat just because I can.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: calalily on 2008 June 23, 06:20:37
Can't be Atwat - all the information is too embarassing to Atwat. Coconut is giving us information given out by Atwat, but all of the information - not the spin.  It all just shows how much of a gossip Atwat is, and how maybe she's even pissed off close friends, who now give information to this site.

Coconut is kindly giving us the poop on TSR - it doesn't make Atwat look good, nor TSR.  *If* it was Atwat there'd be little gems such as "And Atwat is releasing a new mesh set this week set to blow your mind".  Can't be her.

Yes, it's even more repulsive if this was done in an attempt to locate the source of an information leak, but I'm not going to make fun of a medical condition because I don't like them. That would make me more like them.

Don't get me wrong, I've never thought coco is atwat for a second, but I do think coco and his/her sources have been used as a tool by atwat to gain herself some drama. Coconut seems to be aware of this already though. but even though I think Atwat is using this to her own advantage, I still think its important that coconut continues to post this info. I agree that sometimes it not the information itself thats interesting, its the fact that atwat leaked it in first place. Tomass' little problem may have been TMI for some, (him especially) but it goes a long way in providing proof to the people who still trust atwat just how low she will go to create some attention for herself.
Long live coconut!!  ;D

Hrm..Personally am going to wait for Coconut on this...

Am curious as to why the BeaSims account is not banned - if Atwa got banned, and with such personal remarks like that put on her profile, why is her other account not gone? And, if she is banned, why now? Why not earlier..so what has she done now? And I think it is unlikely that a TSR admin/Thomas would edit remarks like that onto her profile - they are too over the top and dramatic, so creates dramaness...why not just give her the usual Banned title, or just not edit it at all and give her no new title?

And..last random questioning thought...can't certain members at TSR (SA, FA, mod, admin, etc) edit their own profiles so could it be that, for whatever mad reason, Atwa has edited it herself?


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: glasscigarette on 2008 July 07, 19:34:53
First of all, it seems possible to me that the TSR brigade is still attempting to gloss over the fact that BeaSims is blatantly, obviously, it-couldn't-be-more-apparently Atwa's new incarnation. I could be wrong, since I don't spend any time in the TSR forums and the like, but it seems like the kind of thing they would cling to. The active members and those of us here might think it's common knowledge, but to the casual sheeple, it still might not be.

Second, it doesn't seem far-fetched that Atwa might have edited her own profile to reflect her bannination. In particular, the use of the word "lonely" makes me think that it might be her last desperate attempt at garnering a little attention and sympathy under her old identity.

Blech.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Jojoba on 2008 July 07, 19:42:55
Indeed GC. And the location on her profile was altered after Sherrie initially posted about the banned title here - why would an admin come back later on and edit it? Seems more likely that Atwa herself saw it had been posted here, and added more drama onto her profile. The location and title purely create drama, which makes me think it was not a member of staff (..if it was, thats incredibly stupid and unprofessional).

For what it's worth, I know I've seen the exact term 'Oh, so totally banned' on another user's account, though at this point I can't remember exactly which one.  I want to say it was on Daggs', but it also may have been on another totally random account.

I'm also curious about the BeaSims account.  Seems to me there's some more smoke and mirrors at work here.  (Nothing new there, of course.)  I'd be surprised if TSR ever really got rid of that woman.

Maybe someone made Sherrie a mod by mistake.  :D But seriously - I agree that this was probably altered by atwat herself.  This would be the sort of showy thing she'd do - and of course if she did it, then she's obviously not banned - otherwise she wouldn't have access in order to change her details.  And of course, this is the sort of silly transparent move that someone like atwat, so hamfisted at manipulation would make - thinking we'd really believe she's gone.  Heads up - we don't believe it.  Bring on the hate of beasims.  ;D


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Jojoba on 2008 July 07, 20:03:47
Mm..Daggs' account got deleted, didn't it? Just did a search and she doesn't come up, and briefly recall her account got burnated..which means can not have a look to see if she did get that edited onto hers. I don't remember her profile getting that title, or seeing it before on others, but my memory is poor so would think you probably are correct Aikea.

If an admin did give her that title..I am extremely curious as to why - it is just so over the top, makes you wonder what she finally did to get the boot. Or, if it is smoke and mirrors with then making out like she is now gone. But still begs the question as to why BeaSims is still there..

smoke

[Thomass is] smok[ing something]

I iz deetektiv!

Seriously, though, you're right: it seems a little silly and dramalicious for an admin to add these things to her profile seriously. It seems quite possible, to me, that this is yet another attempt to cover up Atwa's continued presence on the deteriorating TSR ship as it slowly but inexorably sinks into the depths of its own rapidly increasing failure. Luckily, I think we have a few sharks around here.

Yea, thinking about it I agree it's looking strange (but still amusing!) if it were true it would be damn funny, but alas it's beginning to look like a smoke screen. knowing a lot of the things shes said and done to the mods I think they may have been a little more 'inventive' with her forum title, also they would have banned her beasims account because its against the rules to have multiple accounts on TSR. it's still possible that she's upset them again, I'm sure they can still feel her knife set in their backs.  oooh I love a mystery  ;D


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Dina D on 2008 July 07, 20:32:39
well with as much crap that Atwat could get into, I don't think she could have edited her own forum account.  The forum is Tug's baby...and I believe even Thomas doesn't have access to some of what Tug has or at the very least stays out of her way and lets her run it as she wants to...I remember vaguely some conversation in the SA forum about him being able to change or fix things...I do know he can and will delete posts/threads as he sees fit (usually if you don't kiss his ass and agree with his point of view)  Any title change had to go through Tug..not sure about the FA's, but I know when I was an SA there, you had to go through Tug.  I know that Tug doesn't like Atwat very much, so I would be curious to see what she does with BeaSim's forum account.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: coconut on 2008 July 07, 22:47:35
 The forum title change was done by the Mods and not Anita. Lets just say she got caught doing things she should not have done. The waters are somewhat muddy at present.
 
 According to Atwa, heads are going to roll, she said she has made a formal complaint to Thomas, and is expecting a full retraction and an apology from Tug. If such an apology were to be made,it is doubtful it would be public as Atwa would like, but it is possible Tom would make her do this in private if Anita still has the control over him that she claims to have. It is also making it crystal clear to the Mods who really runs the forums over there, Perhaps changing her profile title to Moderator or Admin would be more appropriate.

 Either way Anita is on top form now she feels that someone is in trouble over her, and it does appear that the Mods will yet again been over-ruled by someone who was thrown out with the trash. Kath was also reported, says Anita, for being too slow approving Beasims submissions. If she has really reported her or not remains to be seen.

 Atwa is milking it for all the attention and drama she can get, claiming that both Kath and TUG have made her seriously ill with all the stress of banning her and slow submissions. If banning is so dangerous, they should lift it for everyone, as for so submissions, Anita is just one of hundreds of artists submitting, what makes her think she should get special treatment above anyone else, her work is hardly at the high end scale. She is just a regular artist like everyone else, only worse.

Ok so it looks like Tug did ban her, for reasons unknown (and unbeknownst to Thomas?), and Anita is now supremely pissed off and is going to force Tug to unban her and apologize.  Is that right?

Thanks coconut  ;D

Yea, looks like the atwat wheels of revenge are in motion, the profile has been changed to 'retired' and I guess tugs now busy typing out her forced appology letter, which sucks for her. I wonder is kath also busy approving her shit as priority. I'm sure atwat must have something on tomass or TSR, otherwise why would he again take the side of a known trouble causer against his own loyal staff, and why is she allowed multiple accounts. Atwat/beasims clearly is still in charge of both the site and forums over there, it's just tomass forgot to tell the rest of the staff until now. If she had nothing on him, wouldn't it be easier from him to press the block button on his mail/msn or PM system, rather than ordering his own staff to kiss her fat wrinkled ass?

so atwat is now seriously ill because she was banned, boo fuckity hoo  :'( She used to come out with that old chestnut everytime coconut or anne bonney made a post here, in fact every single time things didn't go her way or people didn't do what she wanted she'd use the illness card. Well if a little thing like getting banned from a forum can make her so very ill, she has real problems, and perhaps needs to take a visit to the psychiatric ward, surly this alone proves how unstable her mind is. This kind of physical reaction to a forum ban is not normal. Maybe TSR need to remove her all together from the site and forum for her own health, seriously, I'm sure her psychiatrist would recommend it.

OMG coconut, the pictures they burn, I've seen atwat pics before but they never get any easier to look at. in picture 1 I'm sure her teeth are brown, they look all mangy. In picture 2 is it just me or does tomass look really guilty peering over his computer, just what is he looking at? Picture 3 reminds me of jack Nicholson playing the devil for some reason (see below), and on picture 4 the guy near tomass looks like someone out of holby city (uk TV show) called Lindon Cullen.

Since I know Anita reads this column hourly (it's like crack to her), I have a question for her directly. And folks, I am serious, this is not a joke:

(ahem)

Anita,

WHY do you NEED this drama?

WHAT do you get out of hurting other people, stomping on them, and making their lives misrable, just so you can be happy?

HOW do you justify your NEED to be at the center of everything?

WHO abused you as a child so badly, that you are now so messed up, you actually ENJOY being known as a very disturbed and mentally incompetant person? Because, lady, everyone does think that, not just us pirates. Pretty much every Sims 2 creator out here knows this. Just mention your name in ANY forum out there, for an IMMEDIATE change of subject. Really. I'm serious. You really are persona non grata hon.

Anita, I am addressing you as your real name (I hope that's it anyway - who knows anymore?) as a gesture of all seriousness. Can you answer me? Or maybe the real truth might be too disturbing for even you to honestly acknowledge? I'm waiting.

Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Jojoba on 2008 July 08, 11:11:55
Insightful information as always Coconut, thanks.

So Tug altered Atwa's profile, and has since then had to change it back due to compaints from Atwa, and presumably an order for Thomas. It seems extremely odd to me that only Tug has the power to do that - and other stuff which Thomas can not do himself, as Dina said. TSR is so oddly run. Why would Thomas put someone into such power, then when they use it, he undermines their authority and makes them change what they did. Undermining your own staff is not a good idea; they are hardly going to remain loyal to a forum where the site owner goes against their actions especially in regard to a member they all find immensely irritating. And I had a little snoop around and saw that Tug has not posted at TSR since the middle of June. So would presume that this drama/whatever Atwa did is not exactly very new then.

Furthermore the order to change Atwa’s profile title to ‘retired’ (screen pic here (http://i28.tinypic.com/154io14.jpg), in case of whatever) does not really lessen the drama effect. She was, supposed to have, retired back in April when she made her blog announcing it. That is four months ago. She did not have a retired title then, what is the point of adding it now? That in itself does arouse suspicions and hint at drama, as clearly if the title was added recently, it means Atwa really did not leave earlier – and that will make people wonder if she ever did or will go. So in my view, that title change can do as much damage as the one Tug changed it to previously…simply because it’s bringing up an old issue, so dramary.

And not only is she gunning for one of the forum’s moderators, but also the upload submission manager. Why Thomas/the-powers-that-be-at-TSR allow someone to attack their staff and do not protect their staff is most curious. There is clearly a lot going on which we are not aware of. Surely some of the power Atwa has is false and created in her head, but she does appear to have some actual power regarding Thomas’ actions – makes you wonder what she has about him to persuade him to protect her so much. Must be something quite major.. Atwa has mostly single handily managed to get rid of two extremely popular FAs (Aikea and Gelydh), caused a massive amount of SAs to leave (the NaturalSims lot), caused issues with the forum in the Texture Challenge, caused rivalries between members, caused tension and back stabbing between FAs and staff, attacked individual moderators and attacked Kath the submission manager who is someone extremely vital to how TSR runs…

You just have to wonder why she gets away with it, and why she is doing it. And why she is allowed multiple accounts when this is against the rules, and her Atwa account is meant to be retired. Am still curious as to why Tug did nothing to the BeaSims account – surely if she was going to ban and ridicule her, why not do it to the new account that she is most active under?

And am curious as to whether Atwa had anything to do with Confide and Tantra leaving… any news on that Coconut?

Making fun of someone's talent (or lack of it in this case) in making CC is fair game.  Calling someone out on their behavior, especially with a history like Atwa's, is excellent.  She deserves it after the way she has treated people and manipulated/manipulates things behind the scenes.  However, and I am sure I am going to be catted, but I have a problem with making fun of someone's looks.  There are so many better things to have lulz for.

Woah, I had no idea that Confide and Tantra had left! Captain gets extra cookies and rum just because it was in her post where I heard it first.  ;)  I am thrilled! I have some of their clothes in my game. Not a lot, because I tend to steer clear of TSR, but they're both some of the more talented creators around that hellhole (Tantra's set of outfits with the knit skull-print tubes, skinny jeans and heels is one of my most favoritestest). That's two more points in the "quality creators get fed up and flee" tally; I'm still crossing my fingers for the ultimate fall of TSR, and with more and more of their better artists up and leaving, it seems more possible.

However, and I am sure I am going to be catted, but I have a problem with making fun of someone's looks.  There are so many better things to have lulz for.

Bingo. I don't think that kind of mockery is necessary or particularly funny. I get a little squicky seeing pictures of the TSR staff, sometimes, because it puts a human face on things. So even though I want to mock them heartily, I don't really feel much need to make fun of the way they look. Pixelated pretty much pinned down my feelings on the issue.

Captjojoba, I am sure that Thomas can do things on the forum like that, but I believe that the forum is separate from TSR...while part of it, it is run by different people, yes Steve and Thomas ultimately own it, but I believe Tug runs the place.  I don't think he likes to step on the toes of Tug and the other mods there...unless of course he doesn't agree with the thread and then he will lock it or delete the posts.

Oh they both went some time ago in June. Disappeared off around the same time (if not the same day..), and were put into the Retired Artists  (http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/retired/) section without a word of reason as to why they had gone. Seeing as how they seemed to have disappeared off together, I suspect drama reasons. As of yet they've not popped up on any other sites, which is a shame as they -well particularly Confide- do make nice clothes. They went maybe a week or so after Shannanigan demoted herself to SA as well.

So that was 3 FAs gone in a matter of days..

In reality the posts here give her more zest for life as she needs drama for her very survival. The picture should be framed and entitled "life without drama"

ETA: I personally think it's different from her brain tumor remarks, due to the fact someone actually had a brain tumor.

I absolutely agree with you...fate may have dealt her a poor DNA string, but what you are on the inside will also come forward and be what people will see...to ThomASS she may be beautiful   :o  but what I see is a twisted, evil, person with a personality disorder.

Pirate Alex, that is pretty distasteful!  Even I wouldn't do that...and it's my Tumor she is making fun of!!  But Sherrie is right too, her being ill from being banned really isn't the same as my having a tumor.  She won't die from being banned.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: glasscigarette on 2008 July 08, 17:37:38
I don't see what all the upset is about, personally. Lots of people talk about torturing self-Sims of people they don't like in their games, and I've never seen anyone get up in arms about it before. It's never something I've enjoyed doing, myself, because it seems a little too vindictive and petty to me. At the same time, it doesn't seem like it's anywhere near as reprehensible as making fun of a tumor or mocking someone's potential infertility, and spreading other people's misfortune everywhere just to gain attention for oneself.

I'm sure Atwa already knows how people here see her, so I doubt she'd be shocked by seeing someone kill her in Sim form. They're just pixels, and if anyone is personally wounded by that, then it's pretty much their problem. Maybe it wasn't the most tasteful way of expressing one's dislike of Atwa, but comparing it to Atwa's behavior is an exaggeration, IMO.

That's pretty much it. It also represents how TSR attempt to make her disappear, and how she always seems to somehow come back again...

Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: glasscigarette on 2008 July 08, 17:55:41
I know you didn't compare it to Atwa's behavior, but Nouk was saying that this kind of thing seems almost as distasteful as the way Atwa acts. I was just disagreeing, saying that this doesn't seem nearly as repulsive, to me. I can understand her stance, though.  ;)

Also, I wasn't saying that you were personally wounded, I was saying that if Atwa were personally wounded, she should get over it, because it's not really that big of a deal. I see where the confusion comes in, though: what I should have said was, "They're just pixels, and if anyone is personally wounded by someone torturing their self-Sim, then it's pretty much their problem." That sounds a little callous, though, since I would probably not be happy if I saw people posting pics of my Sim being killed in new an inventive ways, unless they were just playing. Still, I can't imagine being too hurt by it. Then again, I'm not the drama queen that Atwa is.

Like I said, I also don't torture Sims of people that I don't like, because it seems silly and kind of mean, to me. But I don't think it's particularly disgusting when other people do it. I might not want to see screenshots (hint hint), but the act itself doesn't really concern me. *shrug*   :-*

Years ago (back in the old TS1 days) I made a Sim of one of my best-friends' ex, stuck him in a room with a bunch of wicker furniture and set the room on fire while our Sim-selves watched from the hot tub outside. This was near the end of yet another crying-into-her-beer-at-my-house night, and she found the whole thing really cathartic. To this day she still refers to him as "Stupid Boy" instead of his actual name, but that's way better than some of the things she used to call him.

Falln, that's the sort of thing that Sim-torture was made for!  ;D  Like you said, there is a time and a place. I don't think Atwa-torture is really warranted unless she has injured you personally. If Dina wanted to do it, I'd have no qualms about pointing and laughing at the results, but I don't really want to see it from most people. I don't think people who do it are bad or anything, I just don't care enough about the issue to want to see it. Most of the rest of us should just be content with mocking Atwa's horrible CC and making fun of her for being a heartless, dramatic bitch.

That said, I still don't think that Sim-torture is even close to the level of cruelty as what Atwa has done to people (she spread around personal, RL issues and mocked people for it, while all Alex did was post some pictures of her image dying in a game). Maybe I'm taking it in a less serious light than some people, but I just don't see why someone would be terribly injured by seeing their self-Sim killed. Like I said, though, Atwa is just the sort of drama queen who would need to be hospitalized after seeing that.  :D

Dina D I had no idea about the tumor. Seriously, I only read the first several pages and the last few. This topic is like 62 pages long, so I didn't read through all of it and missed that whole part. I apologise if I caused any offence because had I known, I wouldn't have done it. I had no idea it could even be connected in that way at all. sherrie was right on the mark when she mentioned Atwa's dramaqueen like "oh mah godzz!!!!!......I iz gonna die!!!!..!!!!!..Cuz I got banned from da furumz!!!!eleventydotdotdot..!!, that was what the picture is meant to portray.

And really, it's not the same as poking fun at someone's tumor or infertility. The picture is simply mocking the fact that she's a dramawhore that thrives on attention and who practically needs it to survive, and that TSR are trying to pretty much make her disappear (hence the "her health is deteriorating" remarks). The former is malicious, because they are real, serious and highly personal matters, the latter are just pathetic and trivial matters. And in no way would I wish anyone dead in real life. At all. In fact, I know some nasty people I strongly dislike who are going into the Army. Soon their life is going to be at a somewhat permanent risk. I sure as hell do not want them to die, and pray for their safety. No way is this supposed to mean I want Atwa dead, because that's stupid. She's definitely a nasty malicious person who deserves everything she has coming to her (and has already had), but I do not wish her actual physical harm.

I don't usually torture sims either, the picture is simply mocking the fact I stated in the first paragraph. If anything, it's supposed to represent her "demise", as opposed to her actual death. Perhaps visual metaphors was the wrong way to go about it. It seems it's been misinterpreted in a mass of confusion.

Perhaps a fairer representation would have been this picture. This represents how she was represented on TSR. She was given all the attention for her subpar creations and got all her similar cronies onboard while overshadowing those who actually worked hard to get where they are and produced high quality items. I'll miss out the part where Tomass gets into a catfight with her and wins...

Goodness.  This was a long and turbulent read.

So, what exactly is going on now, is she still 'retired' and yet apparently still being a thorn in someone's side?

And totally agree on the inner nature affecting looks.  Its the only reason I can think of why folks keep saying I'm pretty when the mirror says otherwise :)

Alex, no problem!  ;D actually while I didn't like the picture, I wasn't all that offended and I do know that you were in no way bringing brain tumors and infertility into the picture  ;) I guess I am a bit out of touch really, cause it never would have occured to me to do that to a sims...out of touch or too old, not sure which! ;D

regardless, that last one made me spit my coffee out! Very good!

Post by: glasscigarette on 2008 July 08, 19:15:07
I think you are all taking this way too seriously.   :P

That's what I was trying to say originally!  ;D  Nobody actually killed Atwa, they just killed a Sim that looks like her. I don't see why anyone would see it as anything more than that, but to each his own, I guess. I can imagine that Atwa herself would be offended, but I don't particularly feel like protecting her feelings over something so petty.

Also, awesome pic, MissA.

And Pirate Alex, it seems to me that nobody was actually offended, so I wouldn't worry about it. Nobody around here tends to take things too personally, but they're still willing to tell you if they think you're going too far (even when they aren't personally offended). Some people might agree with them, others might not, and most of us aren't afraid to make our opinions known. That's one of the nice things about the phorum.  ;)

Edited because I forgot to remove the image tag. Bad, GC! Bad!

@ Dina D: The second paragraph was directed at some other people really. Glad you liked the picture though lol  :P The more I look at it, the more I realise how accurate it really is... :D

@ Armywife: lol nice link. That chair certainly looks comfortable. They're quite good quality items, considering they were converted from Sims 1 counterparts. Seeing as the MATY senators show some form of approval for a torture chamber in their new building, I better start decking it out...

Oh boy! Maybe this will inspire one of the "designers" that we love ***dripping sarcasm***.
They can do a sim with the above, including the spurs....

Renegade here (http://www.phpbb.com/community/faq.php?mode=bbcode) is a site that will give you all the information you need. Sometimes it's easier to have a reference page to look at. You can just bookmark it then use it as you need. There are others also, just search for BBCode.

I know you probably know most of this already, I'm just offering it up for anyone that may want to learn.

What is fun is to try and read the words with the colour instead of the actual word. Say that red is written in blue and you have to read it as blue instead of red. That really screws with some people's heads.

Yeah, I think it's an indication of how left vs right brained you are. It's been awhile since someone showed me, but I think they said it's right-brained people who can say the colors without problem and left-brainers who stumble a bit and want to just read the words. Despite the tests I've taken that peg me as exactly middle-brained (or slightly right), I stumble a lot.

How many of you can do it? I'm curious. Seems most people have a hard time with it.

It is actually the Stroop effect which causes the stumbling. Most humans are so proficient at reading printed words that they cannot easily ignore them and when they have to choose to ignore the word and instead focus on another aspect of it, such as the color instead, this causes interference. 

The Stroop effect takes advantage of our ability to read words more quickly and automatically than we can name colors. I'm unsure how much, if any, being left or right brained would have upon the effect, but most people do tend to struggle with the task regardless.

I read the words without a problem, but it took me a moment to realize that the text was a different color. Being familiar with this particular trick (thanks to psychology classes from a few years ago), it didn't really trip me up, but it did take half a second to notice what I was seeing.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Missbonbon on 2008 July 13, 04:54:32
speaking of psychology.... a neat little trick  ;D

Get some people into a room and have them sit down of course. At least two people, and have them face each other. Now slowly turn the light on and off, while ringing a bell at the same time. Such as:

*light off and bell*.......*light on*........*light off and bell*........*light on*

Have the people notice how the eyes dilate with the light changes, hence needing a bit of time between the flicks.

And keep doing it for a couple of minutes. Eventually it will get to a point of where you can ring a bell without flicking the light and their eyes will dilate automatically. Now it won't work on everyone, but it does work with a majority of people.

Basically it's subconsciously training their body to react to sounds/sights/smells, and you can literally do it with almost anything   :P

On the subject of perception, here's a fun left/right brain thing that's kind of amusing.

 Dancer (http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,22535838-5012895,00.html)

One day at uni I had 5 or 6 people all standing around my comp staring at it. At first everyone saw the same thing, then they started to see it change at different times. It was interesting that no two people saw the change happen at the same time. It was quite funny seeing their reactions when it happened. I got a little OCD for awhile about trying to control it.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: glasscigarette on 2008 July 14, 13:03:24
No matter how long I stare, it keeps going clockwise. Maybe I'm just too impatient. Is there a certain point I should focus on to "make" it appear to turn the opposite direction, or did I just not give it enough time?


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: kenmtl on 2008 July 14, 13:17:05
Actually I also see it totally clockwise, but I find that if I stare at the foot on the ground and focus really hard on making it change, I can sometimes get it to happen.
You have to be patient though it can take awhile

 Like more than 8:58:15 till 9:03:24.

*Sorry GC  but I had to tease you on that one  ;)


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Paleoanth on 2008 July 14, 13:17:40

Post by: celligirl on 2008 July 14, 16:05:06
I've never been able to see that dancer spinning anything but clockwise, no matter how long I've stared and tried to make my brain see differently. But then all of these right/left tests I take -- even ones with psychologists way back when -- seem to indicate that I'm so right brained that one wonders if I even have a left hemisphere. No wonder I do math differently than everyone else I know. And why I always sucked at math in school because I could never show my work. 'Cuz I don't do it in steps, you see. That never made sense to me and I always got so frustrated (sometimes to the point of tears) in math class. When the right/left stuff became popular, people started having an indication as to why I got the right answer, but not the "right" way. :)

I spent too much time trying to figure out how the programming might have worked (the thing kept switching directions the whole time as I was trying to figure it out). I haven't yet...I know there is some optical trick there, but I can't seem to grok it. Meanwhile, she turns to the left, then turns to the right, then turns to the left, then turns to the right....

Post by: falln_angel on 2008 July 14, 17:45:35
That dancing girl thing is freaking me out. At first she was stubbornly refusing to turn counter-clockwise, but I eventually realised that I can make her change direction by staring just past the left-hand edge of my monitor and visualizing myself grabbing her leg and spinning her the other way. (She has yet to change direction 'live'.) The weirdest part is that once I've turned her, if I go away and come back she'll be spinning in the same direction I left her in (as opposed to reverting to clockwise, which is what I would have guessed).


Celligirl, I was kind of the same way with math in school, especially with geometry. I used to frustrate my teachers because I'd usually get the right answer but never be able to show my work. How was I supposed to do that, though, when my method consisted of drawing random shapes and moving them around in my head for a while until I suddenly knew the answer was 42 degrees?


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Zillah on 2008 July 14, 18:11:35
At first she was cc'wise for me and wouldn't change, but by watching her outstretched arm instead of her body, I was able to start switching her direction. As far as the blog goes:

The funniest part about not being able to make the dancer go counter-clockwise is that I'm not entirely "right-brained," as it is traditionally described. I'm quite good at math and even started college as a physics major; I switched to literature not because I wasn't good at science (I was top in my class), but because I like literature more. Does this mean I have both sides of my brain working, but I intentionally block the left side out? Seems possible.  ;)

But I still. Can't. Make. It. Switch. Directions.

I really am impatient.  ;D

How was I supposed to do that, though, when my method consisted of drawing random shapes and moving them around in my head for a while until I suddenly knew the answer was 42 degrees?

Yeah, I see numbers as pictures and as parts of ten, which I then manipulate in my head, not on paper. So, kind of the same thing. I had a similar problem with geometry. My brain just doesn't think sequentially in steps, but in blocks of data which it then moves around. Music makes sense to me not because it's "math," per se, but because it's parts of 4 (or 3 or 6 or 2 or 9 or 13 or whatever, depending on the meter). So, I pretty much always get the right answer in math but not by using the "right" method. I always thought it was silly that they only teach one way to do arithmetic and that everyone has to follow the stupid steps. Who cares, so long as you get the right answer and aren't just copying answers from the person sitting next to you?  :P

As for the whole right brain/left brain thing...I don't know; I'm pretty skeptical of it. I was in high school when it became a big thing and everyone in this class I was taking took this test for it and blah, blah. Given that and my strange math thing, I was held up as a shining example of right-brainedness. I think it's a lot more complicated than just what half of your brain you use.

I'm kinda angry now because I only see her spinning clockwise. I've tried to look at different spots, tried to blur my eyes, tried to lok away and back and she still only spins clockwise. It's annoying.

Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: deelink on 2008 July 15, 00:46:27
I tried to be fair and not read the article or any of the responses and stared at the girl. Turning clockwise.
Alright! I said, turning to the article, when I read the entire thing, and understood that it was defining which area of the brain saw her turning clockwise, I turned to stare at her again, only to have her going anti clockwise! WTF? I said and tried to make her go clockwise again. She wouldn't.
Then Freddy came and sat on my lap, I gulped some coffee, scratched under his chin and stared at the girl again. Clockwise...

So perhaps celli is right, it really depends what side of your brain you are using at the time :)
I have an analytical mind, am quite grounded in logic, but I am also batshit crazy and totally random :D Awesome.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Quinctia on 2008 July 15, 02:03:31
I think it's however you catch it, honestly.  I'm not really any brained (I think all that stuff is bunk), and it depends on the day which way the thing's turning, or if I can make it switch.

It's just what you immediately process.  It's a more complicated version of what I think of as the Crow effect.  Ever seen Mystery Science Theater?

Well, look at the silhouettes of the robots.  If you think about it, you can process Crow as either facing the screen or facing you:
(http://i33.tinypic.com/29osf0l.jpg)

(Crow is the one with the metal catcher's mitt contraption on his head, for those not in the know.)
(http://i35.tinypic.com/vnktih.jpg)

It's like the curvature of the head makes it easier to process that either way of facing the screen could be correct.

It also reminds me of the right half of the Windows XP logo, which can alternate between convex and concave, to me.  For some reason, I can't get the left side to do double duty like that, though.

Mike Nelson has been doing commentary tracks to an assortment of movies at rifftrax (http://www.rifftrax.com/) for a couple of years.  With various co-commentators, from other MST3K alumni to Weird Al Yankovic.

You buy the track and then sync it up to the movie, though they apparently have a player that can do it automatically.

I did ARR a couple before anything else, and they are worth the money.

And Hecubus, the most memorable credits singing I think was Tom Servo singing during the end of The Final Sacrifice.

Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Quinctia on 2008 July 15, 20:36:03
My philosophy is always ARR first, buy later.  It's how I got into my favorite band and lord knows how much money I've spent on them over the years, after all.  You might want to try a couple different movies before buying, in case you find there's a certain genre of film you'd rather not see riffed (I don't really understand how riffing could make Roadhouse FUNNIER than it already is).

I liked The Fellowship of the Ring, though I couldn't do it all in one sitting.  And though I think the Star Wars prequels are hilarious on their own, they are even better riffed.  The Fifth Element riff was so-so, but I think the movie laughs at itself enough to where riffs don't add as much as they do to some movies.

I think I'm going to try out the Harry Potter one next.  I already viewed it with Wizard People, Dear Reader (http://www.illegal-art.org/video/wizard.html) as its audio, so I'm pretty sure I'd enjoy riffing.  And I definitely am going to get Jurassic Park because...dude, Weird Al!

I checked out a few of the samples. It's a lot like watching MTS3K, I think, but with occasionally-better movies and without the silhouettes in the foreground. I think if I ever sit down to watch a full one, I might need a few cutouts to put in front of the TV screen. ;)

uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking

- Honestly, I scare myself sometimes.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Renegade on 2008 July 16, 08:29:24
I think it's all bullshit.  I swear, the dancing girl slows down and then pauses right before she switches.  First I saw her going ..counter-clockwise, I think?  Then I "unfocused" and stared at her foot, at which point she went the other direction and remained spinning in that direction.  At a certain point, I thought I broke something internally, because I couldn't get her to switch back on command. 

Then, when I wasn't even unfocused - I was staring right at this bitch - she slows down, pauses, and changes direction.

SCAM. >:(

  Update on the Atwa vs everyone saga. She did not get her apology from Tug, and god knows she's tried every pathetic sympathy raising bullshit she can think of to get it, She's pissed to say the least, she's finally given up reporting her to Tom and has now reported Tug Kath and Tom to Steve. She seems to be under the impression Steve will either force Tug to apologise or force Tom to come down on Tug, However Steve will do nothing of the sort, He's well aware that Atwa has brought on all her problems herself, and indeed that most of them reside in her head.

 Her profile has been changed back for some time, but she just will not let it drop, raking up the same old shit she was raking over a year ago, still causing trouble for people like Aikea and the NS crew who have long left TSR, she's like a dog with a bone, but uglier, accusing everyone of being a party to her profile change. Needless to say no one is listening to her, no one gives a rats ass. I am now several people, the latest of my personalities being Tug and Kath. This is the only excuse she can come up with for accusing everyone of being me, and being right about all of them! She reckons that several people post here under the name of Coconut, and it takes all of them to write each post, thus she was correct with all her accusations in the past right up to the present. Earth calling Atwa.... Don't you see how mind numbingly insane you are? Even Jan needs less medication. We/I, the several coconuts, are jealous because she kissed Tom twice in secret.. so she says, if that were true and it was a secret, then how would we/I know? and why do we/I care what happens in her head? She's also accusing Tom of thinking more about his homelife and the house he is building than he does of her and her situation. That may be the one thing she is right about.

 She wants everyone to sort out her problems for her, if they don't, she will report them to someone 'higher' and in her words she will 'do what it takes', but who will she report Steve to when he ignores her. It's time she let things go, the only person to blame for her problems is her, Anita reads PMBD on a hourly basis because she wants to, she can't stay away, no one forces her to do so, Steve can not make people like her, a hypnotist couldn't achieve that, Steve can't stop her from reading PMBD, only she can do that, and Steve can't make Tom blind enough to be attracted to her, but maybe her creations could help with that.

 Coconut,

well if she is still trying to cause trouble over at TSR about us, well it is pretty pathetic...and I really don't think any of us over at NS really give a rat's ass what she thinks or tries to get ThomAss to think or believe about us.

she is pretty pathetic...it's funny though how what goes around eventually comes around and bites you square in the ass!  Huh, Atwat?  Sucks losing control doesn't it?  :D

Hmmm....Dina, I would think that, if you and those others at NS left long ago, and now have NS as your website...which, thanks for the note, I went and checked you guys out, cool stuff.....then what business is it of Tomass' what you do? You have your own site, you are not on TSR, so who cares? He could hate your guts, Atwat could want you guys dead...so what? Does Tomass control the entire Sims Community? hehehe!!

That's like saying, I live in New York, but I hate those Californians so much I'm gonna sit here and hate away.....like that affects the Californians at all......not that I hate Californians, or live in New York, but that's the example......hehe

But, good for you all for leaving...bet you are happier, lol.

I agree Tonnerbopper!  That's why I personally don't give a rats ass what she does or what she says...and while I shouldn't speak for the rest of our crew, I would venture to guess that they don't care either.  ;)  And Thomass and his nazi henchmen (please don't take offense to this anyone...I only say it cause I know it pisses him off to be referred to that way) do try to control the whole Sims Community...and if they want you on TSR, well then his henchmen will hack the crap out of  your website until you agree to cross over to the dark side.

Sometimes I do feel sorry for Atwat, I mean how pitiful is she, that has has to post on the net, this supposed "love" that she shares with Thomass. I'm not meaning to come across as Moral Maude, here, but he IS married.......
On the other hand, having this imaginary affair is just too damn funny. Like whoop-de-doo, she got a grand total of what was it, 2 kisses? Somehow only getting 2 kisses just doesn't translate into love for me.
Time and time again she demonstrates her complete and utter lack of having a brain. With all the posts I've read concerning her, she's manipulative, conniving, deceitful, judgmental, hypocritical, and just downright stupid. Combine that with her love of the "flood" tool, and seriously how much more fail can she manage?

Most people would have clued in at some point, but not Atwat.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....

She's also a hypocondriach as well isn't she? Aren't we rensponsible in sending her to hospital yet? Or is it that our remarks don't mean anything at all?
That's why she stalks and obsesses about this thread all the time isn't it? So she can work herself up to that big ol cross of hers?

I wonder how TomasS's wife would feel about a middle aged frumpy woman clinging onto her husband saying they have a deep love, and have shared two kisses!
I am sure she has removes all white rabbits from the house lol

Maybe I give Thomass too much credit for being able to find and marry a woman with a decent sense of humor, but if she has any interest in reading her hubby's site then I'm sure she can't be oblivious to Atwat's obsession. I bet she is well aware of the whole thing and thinks it's hilarious that Atwat moons and fawns and clings all over her silly little husband. If it were me, I'd totally keep tabs on the whole imagined affair and all the 'secret' details Atwat breathlessly provides to anyone who will stand still long enough to listen, just to have a good long laugh.

I'm not saying that Thomass is a great catch, or that he has a wife that likes to laugh at poor, delusional, semi-elderly women on the internet, but I'm sure even he isn't retarded enough to leave whatever woman he shacked up with to share a slobber with Atwat.

http://forums.thesimsresource.com/showthread.php?t=358749

  Anita aka Atwa is still causing no end of trouble with her alter ego BeaSims. Her meshes of course, are still as poor and unstable as they always were, They not only look bad but they are still causing crashes. She also still seems to be exorcising some hold over Tom, because people who complain are being banned. It's unlikely this person was IP banned or had their account locked, rather it's apparent that Tom simply took his usual lazy route and changed the pass and the mail address for the complainants account. This is just one that has posted on the forums, there have been several occasions where complaints have been made against Atwa aka Beasims where the poster has disappeared. Indeed, Anita has the knives out for lechapeau. Anita vows to get this post removed, and blames tug and Kath  - and Dina (?? Don't ask me).  I took the liberty of making screen captures of the thread in the event she again forces Tom to discipline the Mods.

  Anita has responded in her blog that one of her monstrosities is crashing games because it is 'high poly' 
http://www.thesimsresource.com/artists/BeaSims/blog/

QUOTE

The Valencia Bedframe is a high poly object as I also mention in the description. Still it´s a 6 tile object and I have seen bedframes with higher polycount than this one. Not to mention some objects you can find here that have over 4000 polygons on just a 1 tile object.

 In true Atwa style, when your work is bad, point out how crap everyone elses is on TSR, thus making yours look better.

 Evidently High Poly is OK even if it crashes your game, but only if used by Anita, It's not ok for anyone else -  if any of you remember that very public dressing down she gave MysticVelvet, (the one which she took delight in forwarding to everyone to further MysticVelvets embarrassment)

QUOTE

This is what I told her..She has not answered me..

Hi Jean..

After looking at your new set, I see that the polycounts are still way too high on some of the objects.. I have been in contact with the admin and they agree to this:

You have to add the polycounts in, so people will know that they are downloading high polycount objects.. Especially when you have a whole set with high polys. Many members haven´t got computers that can handle these objects. A figurine with 16 000 polys on a 1 tile in the game, where Maxis is recommending 800-1000 per tile isn´t a good thing for example. The bedcurtain with almost 10 000 polygons is way to many for this kind of curtain, and it should be around 3000 at the most or less..

Jean, to me the meshes also still looks too professional for a beginner, we strongly advice you to let people know that you have used and are using free meshes.. this is the best in the long run.. It takes time to learn how to mesh such complicated meshes and to make them look this good, and as most of them have high polycounts in this new set, it looks like they are free meshes..

Anita

  And to follow

QUOTE

She thinks she knows everything... saying I' m 'wrong'  *sigh*... you only need to look at that terrible castle she talks about to see she knows nothing about milkshape or meshing.. I have really tried with her.. but like 'you know who' she thinks she knows best.. I' ve replied because she begged me to tell her about polycounts..but it as if I' m talking to deaf ears...

Hi Anita, I'm sorry your wrong on this one, they are all my own meshes, except for the playpen. I'm not quite sure how you reckon out the polys, are they the vertices or the faces or an addup of both ? If you could let me know I would appreciate it. The castle took me the longest to make and has the highest count I think as I made a lot of round rooves and towers. I tried reducing it on the curtain, but then they started getting holes so I didn't dare reduce anymore.

Jean

Here is my reply to her, but I have to take it back to Thomas because I also know she is stealing meshes....


Hi Jean..

First the polycounts.. The total amount of the vertices and faces are the polycounts for the object and you can see this in Simpe.. this is something a mesher should kow.. have a look here in this picture and this is what you put in the "Num polygons" on the submission page.. and as your objects has a high polycount you have to let them know this as it can damage their games and make them crash..

Now to the other subject.. You said that you just started meshing.. and already you can mesh like a professional.. I have had 2 of my friends who are experienced meshers look at the meshes and they both say that this isn´t possible to learn this fast for a beginner and especially if you use Milkshape.. the possibilities in Milksape are very limited and I can vouch for that too as I also use MS.. I have been meshing since this spring seriously and it took me a long time to figure out how to do curves as I do it from scratch.. I have never even thought about using free meshes.. even as a base.. I use boxes, cylinders and planes to get what I want... a puppet like that for instance takes a lot of skills to do and the curtain, even my friends said was too difficult to do for them in that fashion and they have been doing this for a couple of years..

What I´m also trying to say is that it might be a good idea to mention that you have used free meshes as in the long run this is better for you, when people realizes that for example with you first sets that you used free meshes and didn´t mesh them yourself.. but it´s up to you.. I just recommend you to do it..

Anita

It' s up to her but if she won' t listen... She dosn' t know all I do..  

  Hypocritical (and one very jealous) TWAT.

  It's quite amusing how many times she name drops the word 'friends' in all her writings, nameless, faceless people that back up every word she says, but only to her. The fact that she has no friends, makes her claims all the more implausible.

  Another hypocritical statement she has been making of late is her pure hatred of recent SA/FA promotions who she says are just 'recolor artists' She argues that they should be able to mesh to a high standard and without those skills they are just 'normal' artists. She accuses Thomas of bad management and says that without her deciding the promotions, TSR will lose subscribers. She must have forgotten that when SHE, as Atwa, was promoted to both SA and FA she could not mesh either, in fact her mesh skills to date are somewhat dubious. She is also hyper-critical of what is appearing on the front page, which she has turned into her new obsession, with the artists featured there being subjected to her usual degrading ridicule. Her 'friends' are all saying her creations should be up there instead. I have yet to speak to a 'friend' who has said anything of the sort, in fact most say they don't even reply to her continuous rants.

I have tested the Valencia bedframe again, I downloaded it from TSR and put it into my game and it was as usual, nothing ordinary happened, it just took longer to load as it does when new objects are added.

Thanks for clarifying coconut  :-*

I don't understand why you would quash discussion about high poly stuff - if it's high poly limited people seem to care. And few TSRers know what they're doing so they download like fools.  If it crashes your game, then I don't see why they wouldn't leave that up - lots of things crash games - doesn't mean that that is some secret that must be hidden at all costs.  :-\

Honesty though, I'm still having trouble accepting what a complete nutcase Atwat is. It's like when I was reading up on the whole Jan drama. I believe it, but a huge part of my brain is insisting it's all a big joke. Defense mechanism I guess.

 I'm just dropping in to update you as best I can, a lot of Atwa related news has broken recently. Most of which I can not make public just yet, a tip I can give you now is to watch TSR very close this weekend, for a departure. It's not Atwa, but she was responsable. Hecubus will fill you in on the details when it becomes public.

  Additionally a underhand plan involving Atwa, Thomas and Per has come to light, we have known for a while, but I am hoping to be able to share the full details in public in the next few days. We also may have a reason behind Toms clingyness to Anita.

  There was a rumored troll attack on Beasims and Atwas guest books today, unfortunatly no screenshots, Common belief is she did it herself to gain attention from Thomas.

  Sorry I cannot tell you more just now, there are very good reasons why I can't just yet, so bear with me.

"you need to train your dog not to wipe its shitty ass on your furniture" Or such other gems that even *gasp* link to PMBD! They haven't been deleted, and there have been plenty of other commenters after A TWAT. Is everyone on TSR that blind of a sheeple?

I positively loathe TSR (as I know all of you do as well) and I am thoroughly enjoying all this TSR/Atwa (BeaSims whoever the hell she is now) drama!

I can't wait to see who leaves!

And I can't wait to see why Thomas is "clinging" to Atwa...

We're gonna need LOTS of rum to get through this weekend... a good supply to get through the wait for more details, and then a really hefty supply for the celebration that is probably coming.

I will place the order.  Rum, cookies, popcorn... got it.  Anything else?   ;D

So how many FA's has the Atwat managed to liberate so far? Anyone keeping count? Well done Atwat (or Beasims or whatever you're called these days...) Another creator joins the light side. Tomass deserves the likes of you on his crappy paysite.  ;)


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Paleoanth on 2008 August 01, 23:10:32
Yup.  It looks like the real talent is slowly, but surely draining out of there.  There are a couple of other people who I am fond of that I would like to see liberated.

The news about Simtomatic exiting TSR is fantastic. It also just occurred to me that if every other TSR creator were to likewise leave, then Anitatwat would be getting what she's apparently been after for so long - Thomass' undivided attention.

She needs to get over it and invest in a vibrator.

Well, I've been reading some back threads, and have come to the understanding that apparenly, (and correct me if I am wrong) Both Atwat/Beasims and Thomass hate the people at NS...but exactly why I don't know...they have a great site, and seem to be on their own.....unless its that people getting kicked out of TSR go there, maybe? But, that would seem reasonable to me.  Anyone care to update me? Thanks.  


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Zillah on 2008 August 02, 00:12:21
Mostly cause we took our toys and left - ie we got a big dose of Atwat and her own special view of the universe and had the audacity to stand up and complain when we were treated badly. And worse, yet, we wouldn't fold under and beg for forgiveness when they got snippy with us. A whole bunch of us saw the light and got the hell out of there. For juicy details, have Dina or Gayle or Redhead Rose tell of the Great TC Scandal, and it's follow up The TSR quiz Debaucle.  In a nutshell, we de-sheeped.

Post by: liegenschonheit on 2008 August 02, 03:26:23
Sometimes I wonder if Atwat is really a pirate secret agent. She has managed to singlehandedly do far more damage to the TSR cause than the rest of us put together. It's mind boggling, really, how good she is at angering and alienating the people that TSR actually needs on their side if they wanted to stay in business.

I'm glad though, because it means that so many people with real talent are leaving TSR and realizing that there is a community out here just waiting to welcome them.

So River, let me get this straight, she called you a "pirate bitch" and it hasn't been deleted, yet you merely said something that could merely only be misconstrued as rude, yet it's deleted in a heartbeat? Really?

If we see a "male" user on TSR going around telling everyone to drop dead and be burninated at a stake, then we'll know it's her. It doesn't matter how many sockpuppets they make. As long as she keep harrassing everyone, she'll be discovered. She just can't help herself...

 Sorry for the delay, there where some interesting developments last night and today that turned this 'press release' upside down. First I will go with the original news I had for you, and follow with the latest developments.

  Atwa was supposed to be back in charge very soon, or so she thought. After Beasims was exposed, she set up an account with the name EffieM,  http://www.thesimsresource.com/profiles/2162670/  with the help of Tom and Per. This time they wanted to make sure the Mods had no access to her IP, as she convinced them the leak came from Kath and Tug. Thomas and Per set her up with a proxy program, which would enable her to make a second account without being detected by the Mods. The plan was for her to be swiftly fast tracked to FA status. Her eyes and ears, Detimgi, was to 'vouch' for her, as last time, and a new job position at the top was to be created for her, so in effect she was to be working alongside Spaik. This was the news that was to broken until the latest development.

  The reason for the delay in exposing her new account, was the fact we had heard a small rumor that Detimgi and Atwa were planning on calling DOT out over some Texture Challenge issues, sometime this weekend. Quite frankly we wanted to watch the fireworks and didn't want to side track her with any big announcements, However things did not go to plan. Atwa flew solo and took on Dot on her own, she went too far and as a result, both her Beasims and her EffieM accounts were locked. She then exploded, creating yet another account and went postal, telling a number of people what she really thought of them.

  She did not plan for any account to be locked, but she was unconcerned about her Beasims account, in fact she had been spamming her own guestbook with pastes of very old negative comments she had received in the past, her reasoning for the self spamming was to make her opponents believe the pirates had drove Beasims/Atwa away, and she could then start her new career as EffieM. The shocker for her came when the decision was made to also take out her 'secret' EffieM account.

  Tom now has the difficult task of smoothing things over for her yet again, and paving the way for her return, this will not be easy for him.

  Until today it was thought that the reasons for Toms loyalty to Anita, was down to the secret that she alone chose the winners of the kudo draw, there was no 'draw', so to speak. She also picked the SA winners for the amazon vouchers, something which was supposed to have been done by Thomas, a secret, that on the surface does not seem too much of a big deal, but could potentially be a time bomb when people found out they wasted their kudos on bogus lottery tickets, opening them to finding out that TSR is a very dirty place indeed. However, even at this early stage in the fallout of Anitas latest tantrum, its apparent that Tom is once more prepared to go out on a limb to protect her at the expense of anyone that gets in her way, so we now suspect there is much more to this than kudos fraud.

Holy crap - so, was that Atwat/Beasims/EffieM/Jan/Whoever who bitched at River in her guest book?! Why the fuck Toma$$ is keeping her when she's such a liability I do not know - she must hold some deep, dark shit about him ans T$R that he doesn't want known or he's just plain fucking stupid. I think they're as bad as each other - she's obviously way off her nutter with more than just a few screws loose and he seems to think its fun letting her loose on the public again and again and again.

She's going to end up crashing and burning because of him, and I think the same could be said about the site except she'll cause the crashing and burning.

Beasims - Honestly, aside from Buntah,  nothing could be frumpier.

EffieM - I stand corrected.

Atwa became the subject of conversation on Yahoo today as well, with some friends who're watching from the sidelines.. One of them who isn't said "Who is Atwa?" so I answered simply "A creator at TSR who has a few interesting personality issues".. Another friend was trying to work out what made her act the way she does, and the friend who isn't on PMBD said

"Too many blows to the head?"..

I fell about laughing... Kinda spot on in Atwa's book..

Kudos are like points you get for submitting content, having so many people with subscriptions download your stuff, signing guestbooks, voting in polls, getting the newsletter and other forms of participation.  You can turn kudos in for free download days (being able to download FA content).getting a member spotlight, getting a minisite, a custom banner or for buying raffle tickets for prizes.  The prizes usually included a copy of an EP or SP, a coffee mug, etc. It looks like that the raffle draws were not randomly pulled but selected by anita.  Which is crap.  I wish this would come out. 

Aikea-that is really interesting.  REALLY interesting.  That sounds like there is some infighting going on over there about anita.  Is thomas the only one in her corner?  Except for Det, I guess.  I always liked Det.  I hope she doesn't get burned.

What is the power Anita holds over Thoma$$? What is it? It's the one thing hooking me into this thread, because the calamity it will ensue once it comes out...oh so awesome!

I don't know if Atwat is destroying TSR, considering she is being pestilent enough to draw out talented FA's and the like. But isn't there enough sheepie gnawing at the queue to become FA's? Sure they suck, but they are still pay. I thought people will not pay for shit content, but I've seen moleskin underwear with holes on them with a fluro pink leopard print tutu stuck on it*, with 1000 downloads and that can't be right... but some people just can't account for taste. TSR just needs to be nuked via education, that paysites are INFERIOR, in every way. Hence this forum.

I wouldn't want to give that cow any sort of credit. She's a cretin with super sekrit ninja skills (that's the only logical conclusion I could come up with on how she has dirt on Thomass) HOWEVER...she stirs the pot. And makes people stand up, it's like she is the poster girl for all that is rotten, vile and unethical about an ILLEGAL site anyhoo.
They are the real thieving pirates, everyone should know that by now.

and business people run it for the money

and yet Thoma$$ allows Atwat to turn away the people that make 'things', that make him money

this makes zero business sense

unless......

if one looks at "real cost"


That is to say, Atwat has something on Thoma$$ that would make him lose MORE if he did anything to her.

 ;)     ya kinda see where I'm going on this?  like maybe 'incriminating' stuff Thoma$$ doesnt want the Mrs finding out?    ;)

got to be something more than relationship related.  People have affairs all the time...I can't imagine that alone would prevent him from cutting all ties with her and just deal with the consequences of those actions with his wife...why would you destroy your business because of an affair?  ??? Makes no sense to me...but if that IS the reason...well then I go back to my last post...ThomA$$ is a STUPID Fuck!  :D

The real reason sheeplings are after kudos draws is that you can win months sub to T$R. It's not just to win a mug, really. Go look at the kudos prize page: http://www.thesimsresource.com/kudosshop/
"A 2 Month TSR Subscription"
So it suX deeply. Sheeples are being totally f*** in the arse.
Someone did a bit of snooping in that, the kudos lottery, and noticed that the prizes were often bagged by SAs or members with no profile info (dud accounts maybe?). Strangely enough the page got deleted.

Anita's recent rantings do not look like the behaviour of a healthy woman. She really needs to get help, hasn't she any family to look out for her?

To me, she seems like a spoiled and self-centered adult who's prone to explosive tantrums when she isn't getting her way.

Don't know. But she has Thomass and his unconditional support. What more could a manipulative twat need?

Mmm...drama :D

I see Simtomatic is still listed as FA and has pay creations. Am presuming that Thomas and co have decided to lock her account and pretend she is still there*, as this is what they normally do. If that is the case then Simtomatic should post elsewhere in plain site (so NaturalSims) that she no longer wishes to be FA and wants her items to be free - it will get posted at TSR and Thomas will have to stop pretending. This is what was done with Aikea and Gelydh.

*Although, the GB entry by Cyclonsue shows otherwise...who has also been commenting on other GBs and issues posted in this thread. I wonder if this is a hint that she will leave TSR soon..

Go Steve (the lesser of two evils)!

I said in KOL clan chat last night that I'm surprised Thoma$$ hasn't tried to burn down tsr instead of continuing to deal with Atwat.  I personally would just be so fed up by now.  I don't think the money is worth all the turmoil she's making him and everyone else go through.

Go on Steve! Seriously, he should kick the both of them to the kirb! I suspect it might have more to do with business then personal life in regards to Atwat's hold on Toma$$ - if she lets rip I think Steve could blow his top off!

Thanks for this.  This is a really important bit of information and combined with what Aikea posted, gives a fairly clear picture of what is going on behind the scenes.  This is what I see anyway:

  • Anita has been running things as she sees fit, up to and including choosing SA's, helping choose FA's, and the now exposed raffle draws
  • Because of her power grabs, she has made enemies with many of the FA's, SA's and with the mods-both on the site and on the forums
  • Many extremely talented SA's and FA's have left directly due to the way anita has treated them whenever she feels the least threatened-even if that threat is in her own mind. This has resulted in at least two sites that are in direct competition to TSR and they are free.
  • In response to her bad press, she was forced to resign as FA, and eventually step down as SA AM
  • Publically, she let the Atwa persona drop and became Beasims, with the promise of regaining her old status
  • Somewhere in here, Tug finally banned her (as Atwa) from the forums and was forced by thomas to reinstate her
  • Beasims was exposed and she became yet another screen name with the same promise as above, which was also exposed
  • She created a possible one or two more personas that went on a rampage around the forum in people's guestbooks
  • She has some kind of hold on thomas, either personal or professional, that keeps him from canning her and allows her to continue to try to become the second in command at TSR
  • Steve finally took steps to lock down all her personas and will not budge

So, this basically tells us that anita has got the entire site against her with the exception of Thomas and possibly one or two FA's that she has not managed to alienate.  Yet.  This also tells us that thomas's partners are beginning to become fed up with her increasingly unhinged behavior, as I am sure Steve is not alone in his disgust.  The mods and steve are now at odds with thomas and that could, indeed, spell serious trouble at TSR.  I would like to see what Per thinks of this whole thing.  One fairly insignificant creator has managed almost single-handedly to drive away some of the best talent TSR has, drive a wedge into a partnership that has existed for years, possibly expose them to raffle fraud and cause MORE, not less pirates to migrate to PMBD.  All in all, anita has been the best thing to ever happen to PMBD. 

I am impressed.  I say we make anita an honorary pirate.  She has done much for the cause.

A great summary, Tomato. But an honorary pirate? Um.... how about we just tie her to the masthead and let the enemy use her for target practice? (Oh oh! We can send her quail hunting with Dick Cheney!) But I digress.

Regarding Simtomatic: I was under the impression that she put in her resignation on Friday; was there nothing on her guestbook to signal her goodbyes? (BTW: We'll be keeping Simtomatic's stuff available in the booty until she's got it all released at Natural Sims. If Thomas 'frees' her, we'll move her stuff to retired artists until Natural's got her covered.)

Tie her to the masthead sounds good.  You know, the thing is, many people who were either neutral about the paysite debate or were pro-tsr (including many of the SA's that now come here and I was one of those neutrals) are now more active directly because of anita's actions.  I find that ironically funny or funnily ironic.

Tomato mentioning Per reminded me of an email I got from Thomas back when Anita was originally 'fired.'

Quote
I know you have some concerns about Anita's post in the Sa forum. For those on the inside (read us) it's easy to see this is her attempt to avoid loosing face alltogether and to cover her shame from being demoted. Considering what she's been going through this past week (not to mention me and Per) I ask that we all just let it be. Let is pass and let her have faith in a future promotion that may or may not come. I have no immediate plans to promote her back to FA in any near future - if ever. But at least it gave her something to hold on to.
(Bolding is mine.)

I wondered at the time, and still do now, what exactly it was they were 'going through' during the time when I was bringing forth complaints about Anita's behavior.  Based on other things I've heard, it makes me wonder even more about what Anita has over these guys.

I would think she'd have to formally request her account be completely deleted...along with all her stuff...in order to free it up. TSR will try to milk it for as much as they can get. Only way to stop that, is complete delete.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Jojoba on 2008 August 04, 08:34:52
If she posts somewhere publically saying that she wants her files to be free then TSR can not keep them pay. Keep it private and Thomas will ignore it but make it public knowledge and he will have to release them.

Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Hecubus on 2008 August 04, 14:41:53
We do. Simtomatic was close to quitting a while back when Anita was pulling all her shit as "Atwa". Simtomatic didn't leave, however, because "Atwa" was fired. She didn't know, of course, that we had all been lied to, and Anita had created Beasims, which was to be fastracked to FA, with Anita still being paid for some job or another. When all this came to light, Simtomatic said "oh, no, not again" and put in her resignation. Apparently she made it crystal clear that Anita is the SOLE REASON she has left. (The EffieB stuff came out after Simtomatic resigned...but how interesting, eh?)

Liz...it WAS a random person....I responded to her in a pm (cause you no longer could)...I said, "Yes, it's true, but I can't say anymore here as I could get in trouble."

She responded "I understand, thanks for replying, I am so mad, I've been paying into this and find out its fake? Thank you."


So, yeah, Liz, you did reach at least one person....and maybe she'll tell two friends, and they'll tell two friends, and so on, and so on......

hehe, sorry, even after a couple decades, that stupid commercial still rings in my ears....hehe

I might though.
To me TSR is a cult that brainwashes you into thinking subscribing for floodfill and chazcrap is all sunshine and daisies. I wanna be the one who clicks their fingers for the new cult followers and wake them up from their dream and into the real world :D

There was once a time where I once used to BEG my better half to borrow me some money for a subscription there, used to upload frequently too (not that my stuff was ever good -.-'), so in a way PMBD woke me up from the nightmare that is T$R and now I wanna do it too cos it seems like fun :D

This is great. Unfortunatly I am on permanent ban at TSR from my firewalls side. It can smell nasties and if it weren't for the screenshots here, I would be totally out of clue with what's going on.
From virus infestation, to spyware galore, smutty shitty TSR won't ever get a visit from me ever again. Death to TSR!

A great summary, Tomato. But an honorary pirate? Um.... how about we just tie her to the masthead and let the enemy use her for target practice? (Oh oh! We can send her quail hunting with Dick Cheney!) But I digress.

Regarding Simtomatic: I was under the impression that she put in her resignation on Friday; was there nothing on her guestbook to signal her goodbyes? (BTW: We'll be keeping Simtomatic's stuff available in the booty until she's got it all released at Natural Sims. If Thomas 'frees' her, we'll move her stuff to retired artists until Natural's got her covered.)

I found it odd the the retirement was so vague:

"We are pleased to welcome 3 new artists to the group. There has been some retirements this month as well, but without further due please welcome the following artists to the group:"

I would have thought they'd at least announce them since it didn't seem like they left on bad terms. Plus, do they usually give SA status to someone so quickly? I like CherryND's things, but she only has a few up.

Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: River on 2008 August 05, 06:35:22
Well, Netza...I will say this. 

I know of a couple of people...who have more than one persona on TSR....and while supposedly TSR is able to track that...they are rather lax, cause those people still have their multiple accounts....and use them. Why, I'm not sure, I don't question their motives. But they exist.

And..I have heard about others who get mad, and do just as you are thinking....and their original accounts are still there even when the naughty one gets cut.

So, I would think that, yeah...you could probably get another account under a different name...maybe it would get caught...most likely not...that's my guess. Just from what I have observed.

Hmm, given the amount of peeps on T$R who recolour nouk meshes and then link back to nouk's site for the mesh, wouldn't a big PMBD/anti-paysite ad on nouk's site be effective at converting a few sheep? No? Just a thought.

Ok, time to break out the backups and have them go to Steve, Thomass and whoever to complain about this then. Also, have people you know and trust posting about how your retirement is not quiet and you want your stuff OUT of there because you are posting it on a FREE site. Get loud, get rude, get nasty and cause those fucks some butthurt. And if they are reading here they'll figure out that many of us will spread the word into the community. Also, you can inform EA that you have quit the bastards and they will not release your content. Hey, I know EA sucks, but the threat has worked before...

Came to this particular thread via GoS, to see what the devil everyone was buzzing about.

3.5 hours later (with breaks, had to go get the hubby from work for an hour of that time, heh), I now know more about the bull that goes on at TSR than I ever wanted to.

Wow.  Just... wow.

I made the mistake of giving them money for a sub early last year. That was before it went up (I KNEW it had, I knew I wasn't that crazy!), but when I saw the increase, said screw that. Besides, many of the CC artists I used to download from there... are no longer there.  And I can get the others here, like I've been doing.

Now if I can only convince my SiL to stop giving them money for a sub she doesn't even use.....


(Oh, and yeah, thanks for making me hungry. Rum Caramel Popcorn sounds great. Now I want to go make homemade Rum Raisin Ice Cream. *glares*)

Well to me it could be a couple things.

1. Thomas sending a secret message to xander, but that doesn't really make any sense. He usually tries to keep the retirements a secret, so he can keep all the pay stuff to get more monies.

2. Atwat being a drama whore, which is highly possible.

3. Maybe someone else is getting ready to replace Xander, and truly hates xander so they made a secret about it...

To me option 2 is the most likely. Ever since the coconut files, she has been rather dormat....

Oh really. See that's just how much I use TSR stuff. Not.

There is another option of course.  It could be that Xander is part of the Atwat support network and someone is systematically bringing down her goons and ways into TSR. But I know nothing of the inner political machinations of TSR, so I can't measure the veracity of this.

I will admit...as someone who knows personally a victim of child molestation, I find the image of a crying baby labled "butthurt", rather uncomfortable.

I know this is Pes' site and he/she can do whatever they want, I'm not saying anything like that. I'm also not accusing ANYONE  of ANYTHING.  I'm just merely expressing my discomfort at the imagery.

Now, pass me the rum, please.   :)

OK, that's just silly.  I don't know if you haven't heard the term outside this forum or what but it's odd that you're acting upset over the term being used to describe a picture that's obviously just a child having a tantrum.

Here is the definition of butthurt from UrbanDictionary:
An inappropriately strong negative emotional response from a perceived personal insult. Characterized by strong feelings of shame. Frequently associated with a cessation of communication and overt hostility towards the "aggressor."

If you don't like it then you can adblock the image.

It just strikes me that way. Doesn't mean I'm right, youre wrong, or anything of the sort. It was merely my contribution and opinion to the current conversation.

Agreed.

What about a pirate flag just like Pescado's avi?

There's no need to change it - it's just a baby crying. Very symbolic of what paysite owners come here to do - cry about their stuff in the booty and have a tantrum on the phorum. Srsly - reading too much into it - there will always be someone who reads too much into whatever we put up there. If Pescado put the pirate flag up there, there'd inevitably be someone who reads into it that PMBD endorses sadistic killings or something completely unrelated.

Owl, I think you should change your avi, since Karu's been using it for ages.
I see your avi and think: "Oh, Karu's posted something" but then it's not her but you and I'm all confused.

If you consider googling "cute kitten" and "pirate hat" and then pasting the two together as made, then yes I suppose. I just meant that it was hardly something that is hard to imitate, or took a lot of work/creativity. That said, I know that some people put a lot of thought into their avatars, and feel that they're a big part of their e-persona (but in those cases you'd choose something more personal, like calalily's scary hair or Paden's panthers, not a random cat with a pirate hat which is very common on these boards), so I can see how it sucks. I just don't see how it warrants all this butthurt and spamming.

ETA: Soulpatrolmn, those are cute. I see you found one for yourself as well. :D

To play devil's advocate, however, except for the text there is -no- difference between the two - which means either a common source or the picture was done by one of them and 'borrowed' by the other.

You are correct, it doesn't need all the attention, and honestly I would like to know if owl has even logged into the site to defend/give their side of the story. Yes Karu had that avi for a long time, but do we know for certain Owl got the avvie from Karu?

Like when you go past a park and see a kid just kind of standing there, not being shy, just not having any idea what to do. Although I think that's more a product of toys and games these days telling kids how to play with them. Back in my day (I'm 29 24, so we're talking aeons ago) we'd play all afternoon on the clay 'cliff' with nothing to entertain us except rocks and sticks, and maybe a few old Hot Wheels if we were lucky. Now you give a kid a cool stick and they look at you like 'what the hell am I supposed to do with this?' My heart weeps for them. Seriously.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: calalily on 2008 August 14, 18:10:14
My kids play with nothing and seemingly have a lot of fun - they don't have much out back to play with, but they spend hours doing it.  Usually they shred the tree in the backyard (by climbing it) and had great fun with what I dubbed the "field of nothingness" when we were on holiday.

Lol - they even played a version of the Sims outside when they were younger called "Control Life" - taken from the sims, they would order each other about with godlike impunity.  :D

And sticks? I wish they didn't know what to do with them - use as gun, use as sword, poke stuff, make it into a river of water/lava, bring it inside and call it a pet, use it to hack through imaginary jungle, whip each other with it, poke each other in the eye with it, fight over it (because there is some special connection/it's the best stick/I was using it first).  The uses are endless.  :P

I have to kick my 10 year old out of the house and lock the doors to get him to go outside.
And yes, I do this...lol. He don't need to be in house all day watching TV or playing video games.

Unfortunately his friends' parents don't think the way I do, so half the time he goes over there to watch TV and play video games.
*sigh*

I'd rather have him come home muddy from head to toe.

Well, clearly you two are raising your kids up right. That's exactly how you're supposed to play with sticks! (My brother and I fought for years over this one stick that was vaguely gun-shaped. Admittedly, I only wanted it because Josh liked it so much, but still...)

I spent one summer babysitting two boys, 7 and 10 years old. They lived on something like fifteen acres, with a creek, a pond, a couple of quads, a decently-sized wooded area, a few horses, and all they wanted to do all day long was sit inside and play video games. I'd basically have to drag them outside for a few hours every day, and then they'd do nothing but whine about how bored they were. It was sad.

That's what a lot of kids do - they sit inside and play video games.  It is a bit sad, and totally wasteful - not to mention they get used to doing nothing.

My younger step brother is 12 (real and pescado-age) and he can sit in his room and play video games for hours. It's terrible. When I was a kid (not long ago at all), my older brother, older sister and I were always out playing together. We'd build forts out of old sheets and the dining room chairs, run around the neighborhood pretending we were a band of superheros that associated with flowers (I was Chrissy Chrysanthemum and my sister was something Rose, while my brother turned up his nose and said the game was too girly for him)...we'd make up these elaborate stories...it was a lot of fun.  That and my siblings were both gullible, so I could always get them to eat questionable things we found on the ground or what not.

I was one of those 'free range' children, who ran around the neighborhood from dawn til dusk with the neighbor kids...running to someone's house to eat lunch...ah, that was fun. Dangerous too, as I look back on it. We even played outside at night on the weekends. That was the only time when parents DID watch the kids--after dark. I loved those days. Using cardboard boxes, duct tape, three wagons and a bike, we made a train one day. With seats for the stuffed animals too :D Imagination ruled in those days!

It makes me sad to see my ten year old cousin and her four year old niece sit inside all day watching shitty cartoons (As an animator, I love cartoons, but only the good ones ;) ) and playing videogames. Its sad. And the parents wonder why their kids aren't tired at bedtime.... *shakes head* I was babysitting them once, and got out some play-dough--the four year old asked "what does it do?" and I wanted to scream. Or cry... :'(

I liked to build switchback roads into the sides of the sand pit (a real one, that is, with the always popular danger of death by sand-avalanche, as it was pretty steep), set lit firecrackers along the way, and see if my metal Matchbox-type cars could roll past them before the suckers exploded.  It was great fun.

And so were marbles and a patch of dirt.  Or trees, for climbing.  Or fields, for wild strawberry hunts, or blackberry brambles, or....

Or even better, crossing the river from the sand pit to the gravel pit to have mud fights!  I distinctly recall straggling back to the house one fine summer day with my best like-a-sister friend, both of us covered in mud, and my father taking a look, shaking his head, and pointing at the garden hose.

We had a hole in our fence, so we'd always play with our next door neighbor, and we'd pretend we were 'lost in the jungle', or 'the floor is lava', or 'Circus gymnastics', or my favorite 'Hide-and-seek-with-no-time-outs-unless-its-really-really-serious-this-time-okay-Laura-we-mean-it-you'll-automatically-be-it-if-you-do-what-you-did-last-time-again"

Plus we have lots of cats, so thats oodles of entertainment right there.

  My mom would always send us outside, we weren't allowed to come in until dark, and we got hosed off before we were allowed to come back inside.   :( We had to stay in our backyard, but we could always have friends over if they promised to stay outside too. LOL The only reason my three year old isn't thrown outside everyday (she would LOVE it btw) is because our apartment doesn't have a fence, and our back porch is on the second floor with only a set of spiral stairs keeping her from falling to her demise.

Those people make me sad, SoggyFox. I just look at them and think "But...don't you know how to have FUN?!"

My grandmother is like that, though at least, being much closer to 90, its okay, but I don't get her at all.  Her mother used to get chewed out by her for giving me snickers bars after I'd gone to bed, and she'd save egg cartoons for when we'd go visit, so we could make all sorts of silly things.  And her daughter [ my mom], who might only listen to classical and folks music, even as a kid, still has a wicked sense of humour and is silly [ and plays video games].

But yes, I feel sorry for people like that - life is for living, being silly and being imaginative.  I remember the fencing matches with sticks, hording up left over school stuff from teachers and playing school in the summer, and making houses with raked up leaves [ well, more like floorplans ].  Also spent hours wandering through the woods, riding my bike and stuff - wish I'd never stopped, I've gotten so round and flabby.

I grew up on a small working farm. We were never inside, inside was boring, outside had limitless possibilities and adventures. The hayloft in the barn provided endless hours of swinging by the rope, building forts in the straw, and playing with the animals.
We rode our bikes all over the neighbourhood and spent countless hours visiting relatives. We were also fortunate enough to have a bush at the end of our property and that was a terriffic place to play.
The TV was rarely turned on in the summer. Even the cold of winter didn't stop us from playing outside for hour and hours. Back then the snow drifts were so high we were able to build elaborate forts with tunnels. Some forts took us days and days to complete. We never seemed to notice the cold. Our imaginations knew no bounds or limits, no game was to girly or rough, we tried everything to pass the time.
To this day there are cartoons that I have never heard of from back then. We could be gone the entire day and not once were our parents worried or concerned. If we weren't home for lunch it was assumed we were at my Aunt's house, which we most probably were. My Aunt had these big metal tubs, she would fill them with water and we would swim in them. It was actually rare for us to play with toys. Mostly because we had very few toys, there being no extra money for such luxuries.
I see the young ones today and my heart aches for them. The constant, "I'm bored, there's nothing to do", just breaks my heart. I feel so sad that thier imaginations are stifled by video games and the constant blare of the TV.
Sadly the young ones don't seem to enjoy the adventure of reading a good book either.
Yeah, I do admit, I am old...LOL

I think that every child everywhere has played 'the floor is made of lava'  :D even the Simpsons kids have played it.

I draw pictures with my cousins when I babysit them, an attempt to make them have fun MAKING something, and all the 10 year old ever draws is a flat green ground at the bottom, a tree on the right side, a red flower on the left side, and a rainbow across the top. ALWAYS. When I was her age, I started drawing comics... :'(

Eh, I spent a lot of time outside and playing and such...but when I was 12, I was in 8th grade and I played video games quite a bit.  So unless that's all a 12 year old has done their life, I don't know if it's age-appropriate to rag on them not playing outside.  By then, it was mostly reading, video games, and various crafts that kept me busy.  Was never big on television, even though I had unlimited access to one in a playroom when I was really little.

Looking back (and I didn't live in a neighborhood with very many kids, so this didn't happen too often), my best times outside were when we managed to get a baseball game going, or something similar.  I remember a hugely contentious round of capture the flag that lasted all damn day.  Oh, and my father's always been big on Halloween, and he made several fake tombstones, so we had this tag type game called "Ghosts in the Graveyard" that we played in my yard, where you wanted to be the last one standing, and everyone tagged had to go lie down by a tombstone and rise from the grave.

The first computer I ever got my hands on was when I was twelve.  Sadly, it was a DEC PDP-11, but still . . . they had Apples in the other part of the computer lab.  Shortly after, I discovered the utter delight of Infocom.  But I still played outside and read voraciously.  Then again, we lived in the middle of nowhere, with no other kids my age nearby, so my brother and I made use of our imaginations, plus the liberal fields, woods, river, swimming hole, and other places of interest.  Oh yeah, and that whole macramé thing my mother had going for a while.

I always played outside as a kid in the summer. I had one of those sandboxes shaped like a turtle(still in the yard for the nieces and nephew) and in the summer we'd take the sand out and fill it up like a pool. Even indoors I would make things with paper or small buildings out of boxes and marker like malls and stuff. I had a huge imagination as a kid and in fact still do. I don't know if there's a lot of kids now who get entertained as easy.

I am not much of a gamer aside from the sims, so aside from some old DOS games I never played much as a kid. Didn't get into it til recently and aside from Sims I don't know if I'll ever be a big gamer really...

In doors he plays with magnetix - best thing I ever bough him.  He spends hours building elaborate models or making dinosaurs and power rangers and the such like out of them, he has an amazing imagination thankfully  ;D

I use to play outside most of the time when I was younger. In fact, from the time I was around two, I use to tear the screen door and take off running down the street in just a diaper with no shoes.  Someone would eventually catch up with me and bring me back. One time, some stranger brought me back home. I'm lucky he didn't kidnap me. When I was in grade school I still did the same thing. Wake up and run out the house with no shoes to my friends house to play. I miss those days.

Oh yes - my Dad loved it when (I think) it was Kinder Surprise brought out their tin soldiers - I collected them for him.  ;D Unfortunately, the nature of litigation and the liturgy of fear stops a lot of these old games.  Schools ban conkers and other games because of liability, and parents support it because despite the child death rates being so low in the Western world, we still fear the deaths of our children so badly, we're willing to rob them of things in the name of safety.  :-\

My conkers were enough to break knuckles! My dad used to drill the holes in them for me. I'd collect them and leave them until the next year to play. I'm such a cheat  :D

They have at the kids school now, a variation on conkers. It's a rubber ball attached to a short string (not long enough to wrap round your arm, never mind your neck). Obviously, they don't break (where's the satisfaction in that........die conker, die) and it is played with a teacher supervising  ::)

A horse chestnut.

You put a hole right through it, thread string through, wrap it around your hand, and take swing shots at your opponents conker. The idea is to try and smash your opponents conker to bits!

Bruised knuckles, FTW!

We played something similar when we were kids. Only we used lawn darts. And it wasn't so much bruised knuckles as it was bruised toes and bloodied noses. Actually, come to think of it...we were a lot safer when Pogs became popular.

Although I'm still pissed that you can't buy REAL lawn darts anymore. Those cheap plastic ones won't stick in the ground at all!

I'm kinda surprised when I noticed Bocce balls for sale in a sporting goods store, with all the panicmode crap regarding just about every other fun thing in society, I thought they would have tried to ban overweight metal balls a long time ago. Oh well, only a matter of time  :-[

So much hate in such a small space. If I remember correctly you used to have a lot of your stuff on TSR , what happened along the way!

One day, before it was deleted, Silver Arrows clicked a link not approved of by TSR, and found the actual community. Lucky, because TSR's pay policy was getting worse, and they were proclaiming EULA victories they never had. That's what happened atwat - I'm sure it had little to do with your doubtless PMs of hatred.

Even my dad used to collect them (he said they were for the kids, but they had to leave the toys at his place :P) and he had them by the hundreds too. We used to search for missing creatures from our collections all over the place!

The only game that was banned at our schools was Red Rover. Not because of any injuries, but a lot of mums would call the school and complain that their kid/s' uniforms were getting torn, lol.

I have a link to the Humpty Dumpty commercial someplace here, but I won't post it to spare everyone. That thing is disturbing to the point of being hilarious. :D
The only thing he said in that ad that I could understand was "Chocodoobee TOY!!!!"

Ok, I now feel officially deprived because I'd never heard of the damn things before this thread. Does anyone remember the glass ball clackers?

They were two coloured glass balls. one on each end of the cord with a plastic ring in the center. The thing was to bounce them gently so that they bounced off each other and made that click-clack noise so dear to kids. Thing was, kids started doing with those what some of you described as the conkers and the glass shards would fly. Maybe that's why they got banned. This was, of course, in the late sixties/early seventies.

They came in all different sizes and colours, and to me they looked like giant marbles on a string. My dearest wish as a small kid was to have a pair, just so I could hang them in front of a window and watch the sun shine through them. My grandparents promised me a set when they went to Disney in Florida, but my mom promised to disown them if they did. For some reason, she figured that my older sister Gwen would filch them for a battle against her best friend. She was right too, because the brat threw a fit when I got a Mickey Mouse pendant instead. Go fig.

I was pretty good with those clackers. I could get it to clack up and down rapidly indefinately. I would walk down the street doing that, and all theother kids were like, ooohh!!   Lol...my one claim to fame as a kid. hehe.

Post by: cookiepirate on 2008 August 19, 19:52:12
Clackers were great!!  Where I was from, we called them "Ker-Knockers" or "Ka-Nockers" depending on how much of an accent you had.  We would take them to school to play with during milk and ice cream break.  Can't count how many times I busted my hand or forearm with those things.  The glass clackers were actually acrylic (I had a green pair) were only sold about a year because of the dangers.  My younger sister had to settle for a plastic pair...hahaha...she was a brat then anyway.  They just didn't have the same sound.  For those too young to know what they were:

What about the plastic toys that were similar? It was a long stick/handle with a central spoke. Off the spoke on both sides were a plastic triangle that ended in a big plastic ball. You used to move the handle up and down to make the balls clack against each other over and over, or you could flip them around the central spoke and make it look like the ball's color was changing. I don't remember what those were called, but I loved them.

Here is something interesting. I accessed my TSR account today, and I got the message that 24 items had been rejected.  I checked the submissions, and found that 3 sets I had done based on one of Atwa's meshes were not allowed on the site anymore. Here is what it said:

"Modern Living Pine Set
Modern Living Ebony Set
Modern Living White Set

Subnitted: Sep 22, 2007     
Reason: I'm sorry to say that we will not be able to accept your sets as they are based on meshes that have now been removed from our site. The original meshes have been removed due to the creator having multiple accounts."

There's something I don't understand; "artists"(I put that under quotes cause if they ARE considered artists, Da Vinci might as well turn in his grave and sob, and die.

I always thought they had a 'deal' with the so called artist to to stay and work for them for at least a year, or something....

Ehh, apparently, you can quit TSR any time you want to, since they actually don't have any legally binding contracts.

However, if an artist leaves TSR, Thomass & co will keep their files as payfiles unless the artist raises hell (Re: Aikea & Gelydh's files, for example).

So, they are free to go whenever they feel like it, but getting TSR to release the files isn't as easy as leaving.

Unless the artist and other members raise hell, yea. TSR try to keep things private so they can control and manipulate, they therefore fear public knowledge so once people knew that Aikea and Gelydh wanted their stuff to be free, and said as much, TSR had to comply.

Daughter/imaginary offspring: "Daddy, daddy! Can I get a Chaz Dezignz hajr for meh birthday fpr free this year?"

  Update on the mental downward spiral of Atwa. Over the last few days 'someone' has been harassing Anita on TSR, using very un-PG gay porn avitars, and quite frankly being a pest. For a nano second, staff were sympathetic, until it was revealed the IP was one of Anitas. When confronted, she played the most ridiculous 'get out' card of them all,  Gayle did it! yes Gayle has a friend who built her a computer, therefor, he must be a hacker, a brilliant hacker, he hacked into anita's computer, stole her ip and is now terrorising TSR with it, Making silly accounts to annoy the staff, As any super hacker would do. of course Anita is now calling for an all out ban on Gayle for this.

  Nice try Anita, nice touch when you posted your own address in the profile of one account as proof you wasn't doing it, then YOU just happened to 'find' it less then 30 seconds after it was posted and have it deleted. Did the attention fairy neglect you this week?
 
    As well as her staff annoyance accounts, she's also been busy creating secret accounts ever since Beasims, Atwa and Effie were deleted. She started with 'Christie'  then after her 'Christie' account was deleted, she opened 'BlueMoon2' which was also deleted, her current account is 'Cantare'
http://www.thesimsresource.com/profiles/view.php?mid=2296800 but she's opening them quicker than the staff can delete them.

In the meantime, why knock her when she's doing all the dirty work for us?  You can do it, Anita!  Down with TSR! :D

Thanks for the info, coconut, I didn't think the leech would go without fighting. If they really want to get rid of the bitch in the head office, they need to contact her internet provider and complain that she's being a nuisance, I think the company could do something about it from her end, like maybe cut her off or restrict her access or something. Stupid bitch could use a trip out to see the nice young men in the clean white coats and they're coming to take her awaaaaay! Ha ha, hee hee, ho ho, to the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time, with basket weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes... Can you guess what is playing on my stereo at the moment? :D

Actually, she didn't seem crazy at first.  She seemed like a normal person with a good head on her shoulders.  Honestly.  I have no idea what happened, but ever since she became SA AM, it all started.   The obsession with Thomas, the power plays, the back stabbing-none of that was evident before.  She fooled a lot of us at the beginning.  I first became aware of her when some of us at TSR started getting downrated on our submissions back when people could rate your stuff.  It wouldn't surprise me at all to find out she was the one doing it, but we never did know for sure.  We suspected several of the FA's were doing it to make those of us that showed promise as creators look bad to Thomas.  In fact, one of the FA's not only took one of my ideas, but used the same exact textures I used. It was weird.  Anyway, Anita seemed like a normal person, and when the ability to rate was dropped, and a liaison between Thomas and all the non-FA artists was obviously needed, it seemed like a natural thing to tell Thomas Anita fit the bill.  I cannot remember which one of us that got hit with the downrating actually suggested her first, but I blame all of us that agreed for this fiasco.  She was invited to come to TSR headquarters, met with the boys, was given FAship and you know the rest.

Kenmtl-as always I laughed so hard I snorted.  That is never pretty.

  Update on the mental downward spiral of Atwa. Over the last few days 'someone' has been harassing Anita on TSR, using very un-PG gay porn avitars, and quite frankly being a pest. For a nano second, staff were sympathetic, until it was revealed the IP was one of Anitas. When confronted, she played the most ridiculous 'get out' card of them all,  Gayle did it! yes Gayle has a friend who built her a computer, therefor, he must be a hacker, a brilliant hacker, he hacked into anita's computer, stole her ip and is now terrorising TSR with it, Making silly accounts to annoy the staff, As any super hacker would do. of course Anita is now calling for an all out ban on Gayle for this.

  Nice try Anita, nice touch when you posted your own address in the profile of one account as proof you wasn't doing it, then YOU just happened to 'find' it less then 30 seconds after it was posted and have it deleted. Did the attention fairy neglect you this week?
 
    As well as her staff annoyance accounts, she's also been busy creating secret accounts ever since Beasims, Atwa and Effie were deleted. She started with 'Christie'  then after her 'Christie' account was deleted, she opened 'BlueMoon2' which was also deleted, her current account is 'Cantare'
http://www.thesimsresource.com/profiles/view.php?mid=2296800 but she's opening them quicker than the staff can delete them.


HaHaHa - thanks for the laugh cocnut  ;D  So tell me did this also prove I am you or who's turn is it this week? LOL

I knew it was too good to be true that she had gone  ::)

And yes Anyerfillag I left TSR back in Feb - they obviously miss me so much as they seem not to have noticed me gone LOL ;D

I sure do saraswati  ;D  I showed cocnut's post to my techie and once he had stopped laughing asked him if he could hack into the bank of England for me next and make my bank balance look a bit more healthy  ;D

Seriously though I really don't know whether to just laugh or be worried about that woman's obsession with me. Every time I manage to finally forget her totally there she is again accusing me of all sorts and reminding me she still exists somewhere *shudder* 

I'm going to speak to a solicitor tomorrow regarding Article 19, Global Campaign for Free Expression, as funny as I found cocnuts post the woman is guilty of slander at best but knowing her obsession with "passing on her facts" to all and sundry via msn/im it is more likely to fall under libel and I believe I would have a legal case against her under Article 19 and of course there are my rights under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights. As of course would my techie who she is claiming has committed a criminal act.  If TSR were to ban me due to her claims then I would also have a legal case against them under the same laws...

Post by: gayle_afcb on 2008 September 07, 12:09:27
We were good friends once upon a time, so much so she even came to stay at my house once when she was in England visiting someone. I fully hold my hands up to being one of the people she fooled - I felt sorry for her for a long while.  It was when she stayed here I began to really have doubts - when I got up in the morning there she was already on line with about 20 tabs open on TSR and was complaining she had already sent Thomas 30 emails/pm's that he hadn't replied to yet and when I went to bed at night she was still there, same thing.  Oh and Thomas only answers about 1 in 30 emails/pm's - it was easy to work out because the whole street knew when he had replied, she got so excited - I thought it was quite sad really.  I found it very disturbing watching her follow people like Dot around the forums there watching what threads she was in, what she was posting etc.

I started chatting with other people who knew her and comparing what she was telling me and what she was telling them and obviously all the contradictions started showing up more and more. At first I tried to just pull away bit by bit so I didn't end up getting what Sherrie did when she wised up but that didn't work.  She accused a friend of mine of being cocnut and said some pretty nasty things about her and I flipped, told her to F off and never contact me again.  I blocked her on msn/im and set up filters on all my email addresses so any email from her went straight to my spam folder and just deleted any PM's from her without reading them. Then came cocnut's post with that pm where she took the micky out of Dinad's brain tumour and I went ballistic.  I had already left TSR due to her by then but went back the night that post appeared and pm'd the link to all of the FA's mentioned in the PM, sent her a stinging pm which I copied to Thomas and an FA there.  (I had a few days before sent Thomas a pm telling him he had better shut her up or I would take legal action against TSR)  The link was also passed on to all the moderators at TSR etc.  And of course the fact that it was the same weekend that Aikea and Geldyh left I got the blame for that one as well - seemingly me sending a link to that PM was what caused them to leave (and lets not worry about the fact they had resigned the day before that all happened)  ::) She was sacked as AM the next day and has never forgiven me for that - she holds me singularly responsible  ::)

I actually remember that.  Anita wrote me and told me she was staying at your house, but I didn't really know you at all.  I had no idea she was that crazy even then, though. 

Lots of us were fooled.  She hid it really well at first. I wish we had been in more contact back then, she would have been found out even faster.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean paleo. She had that way of making you doubt your own doubts. :( With hindsight I wish I had never met her virtually or for real but I can't change that so I just try and act like she doesn't exist.  I've had no direct contact with her now for 4/5 months but still she throws my name about daily.  It's annoying and I hate the fact she keeps throwing me into the spotlight, I just want to be left alone to try and create  ::)  I am grateful that 99% of the sims community see her for the crazy, obsessed, paranoid liar that she is!!

  No Gayle, you're not me anymore, you are just a super hacker, with a lifelong grudge against poor innocent Anita. Last time I heard I was in fact detimgi, a former friend and ally who suddenly went crazy and stabbed her in the back for no reason. I'm not sure who I'll be be tomorrow, that depends who who her enemy of choice will be when she wakes up in the morning.

  Now more to the point, who is Atwa? She's now peddling her trash under the (stolen) name of simfreak, and hiding out at BlackGardens forums. (with, of course, BlackGardens blessing)

So BlackGarden is her current buddy - wonder how long it will take for that one to crash and burn  ;D

She had to have help with those meshes - the lines are too clean, they are in proportion and the texturing isn't that bad so obviously not her own work  ;)

I have to admit there is still one thing I like about Atwat and yes you did hear that right - most of my meshes still suck big time IMO but even my worst mesh is better than her best one so she reminds me I will never be the worst mesher out there LOL  ;D ;D

It seriously blows my mind to think that they could continue to have someone so toxic on their staff. I'm waiting for the day Atwa completely looses it and lets us know what she's got dangling over Thomas's head. OR...this whole thing could be one big conspiracy?! Maybe Thomas is tired of TSR, but Steve wants to continue with it. Thomas and Atwa have cooked up a plan to continue to profit from TSR while making it implode from the inside. Mostly for poops and giggles because Steve won't back out with them. Once TSR is completely done away with, they'll turn their attention to TS3, where they plan to start fresh--Thomas and Atwa will be no more. And for some reason, I'm now thinking Bonnie and Clyde. And yes, you don't have to wonder: I do have too much time on my hands right now. Dinner is already cooked, and I don't feel like doing homework.

Thats an odd take on it.

What do you think would happen if Thomas just quit? He got a life, and just never got on the internets again? Would Atwat rule, or get stoned by the angry mods?


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Titan on 2008 September 08, 23:25:20
The stoning sounds more in tune with Atwat, and with the way she has turned on people, that sounds like the more probable outcome for her.  I really do wonder though, what is it that she has on Thomas?  It has to be something quite big, because it really doesn't make any sense on why he has kept sticking up for her for so long.  Eventually though; all secrets do tend to be found out, so I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

Victory is mine - I've freaked you all out.  One sentence is as good as my armpit vagina picture.  :D

At some point or other there were some attempts made to seduce me over into TSR, they were very polite and I think I was persuaded to upload some stuff there and tempted with all kinds of offers but decided, in the end, to decline.

Plus they don't let you delete your stuff - I remember when you heard that you freaked out.

On the other hand, much rejoicing over great intrigues and much drama that made me forget I had other things to do.

Drama here is absolutely unsurpassed.  All the dirty little secrets of the sims community somehow end up here.  Yay!  :D

Haha, yes, I’m ”me”, no fangirling needed, but thank you. I have no way to really prove it I suppose, ‘cept you can send me a message at Insim and I’ll respond.

Fangirling might not be needed - but I'm sure it's easily forthcoming. :P Here's one I prepared earlier. :D

But yeah...I'm wondering why TSR hasn't imploded already. People are making SimSecrets about her (unless, of course that was you wonderful people). It seriously blows my mind to think that they could continue to have someone so toxic on their staff. I'm waiting for the day Atwa completely looses it and lets us know what she's got dangling over Thomas's head.

When you don't allow outside links based upon TSR's standard of site, then you're covered.  The subscribers will never see that stuff - and the staff machinations and Atwat deletions will not be seen.

Thats an odd take on it.

What do you think would happen if Thomas just quit? He got a life, and just never got on the internets again? Would Atwat rule, or get stoned by the angry mods?

It's more of an "I've got too much time" take on it. To be honest though, I think the people she's hurt would rather just forget the whole fiasco if they could, not follow her around to stone her. If any stoning occurs, I think it's more likely to come from one of her various personalities. A public (heh, almost wrote pubic!) stoning seems just like the kind of attention grabbing thing she'd do to get that last bit of sympathy from people.

Thomas was mostly talking about sharing my work with a bigger community and such

tsk tsk tsk.  Thoma$ is a deluded idiot if he truly believed what he was saying to you, and I honestly believe he did.  Between MTS2, Insim and Nouk's rather ample network of freesites, there would have to be more than twice what is on offer at his crappy site.

You guys are too cute ;> Don’t make my head blow up or something. That would be a major setback. Can’t paint without eyes :D

Thing about Thomas is he was really nice to me. He approached me in Swedish and spoke about community spirit and sharing my work with a new audience, and as a side-note, maybe make exclusive work as well (oh, ha ha). Really, it’s easy to be suckered in, and somewhere in my head I’m always feeling a little loyal to other Swedes I encounter in the community (I reject that Atwa is a Swede. I don’t allow her to be. La la la la). I was also pretty close to Lyric Lee at the time (don’t kill me) so I was, uh, being manipulated in any number of ways it seems.

I’m rather happy at Insim instead. I get to upload whatever I like, whenever I like, and anyone can access it.

And please don’t sue me *cry* I need my moneys *hugs money*

Don't worry, I know plenty of nice Swedes, both ones living there and ones that are only descended from them, so don't worry that Atwat and Thomas are making you look bad.  Every culture and country has its bad apples.

When I emptied my DL folder recently, and started from scratch again, I went and downloaded all of the fantasy skins by Enayla.
I have some set as defaults now, for the otherworldly creatures, but not all.
I showed my (very hard to impress) 13yo son them in game, and no word of a lie, his jaw hit the floor, and all he could say was WOW. Just, WOW.

So there you go Enayla, you even impressed my eldest lad. Helluva feat that one. He's a typical grumpy Emo, and the world sucks right now  :D

I have to agree with everyone else. I NEVER download skins. EVER. But I made an exception for Enayla cause I fell in love. The stuff is gorgeous, every last one. So many perfect variations. Pretty porcelain like glow, some with freckles, some without. I love your freckles. I worship your pale skins with a passion. Marry me.  ;D

I just wish I had more hair colours to go with most of your fantasy skins.  I adore the sapphire one especially, but its either black hair, or one of my white recolours - of course, could always recolour some of Nouk's hair's to nice shades of white, I suppose....but I've got more things I'm trying to do all at once O.o

I used to stay away from skins, but I like Enayla's and wanted some. Then, I decided that I couldn't have those without these, and then again, and now I've downloaded every skin of hers that I can find.   :)  I've actually got a neighborhood designed specifically for Sims using her skins, mainly the fantasy ones. Does this mean that I have to officially declare myself an Enayla fangirl?

Check out Eclipse sims (Dark Lunaris' site) and check out various emo sites, including GoS - they often have neon coloured hair, or hair with coloured streaks.

I feel the same way; I try to ignore that they are Swedish, but I am still kind of ashamed that they are.   :P But then I remember that the Pirate Bay guys are Swedish, and then I feel a lot better.

It's a beautiful city. It's almost always foggy and cold, but you get over that pretty quick. It's also such a small city that it's so easy to get anywhere from anywhere with the public transportation and it's also pretty safe. Most of the homeless are the harmless kind of crazy and provide for good entertainment walking around downtown. I live in a very suburby area with lots of great restaurants, however...Asian Granny Land, mostly. The only issue is the rent is horrible. I have cheap rent and we have a 2 bedroom apartment for $1600 a month.

Cold and foggy is my kind of weather. That's another reason to get out of the state in which  I'm currently living. I hate the weather here. I know someone who recently moved from San Francisco. He told me the rent is high, but he was paid more also. He misses it because he said it's a very happening city. There's always something going on and something to do.

I like that the seasons here are just "warmish" and "cool and foggy". There really are no extremes like the ones you get in Iowa. There it would be 100 and humid in the summer and 20 and snowing in the winter. Here it's 65-75 in the summer, sunny during the day and foggy at night and 45-55 in the winter and almost constantly rains.

*snorts* Come to Winnipeg to discover cold winters. During the winter it's often to get -30 degrees celcius and more, even getting into -40something celcius and it's not uncommon to see -50something once or twice. Don't forget about the windchill. The summers sometimes get a little higher than 30 degrees celcius, but summers don't last long enough. It's currently 3 degrees out. :(

The weather in autumn is marvelous. Its still summer enough for the sun to be bright and making everything pretty, but its cool and crisp.
Soon all the bugs will dies and the trees will either get naked or turn red/orange, and my cats will get extra fluffy with winter coats.

Plus Haloween rocks.

One of the best things in the world is when it's a clear day in January and the weather drops to 20 below. The snow turns all crystalline and sparkly and at night (5 o'clock) the moon comes out. It reflects off of the snow and a person can see for miles if they're in the right spot. I love it. That's my kind of cold, right there. Fog is nice, but I miss winter. *sigh*

Yes, that is a lovely spot, especially when you're admiring it from indoors. Or if you are not outside for more than ten minutes. Crisp, sharp mornings are nice in January, but once they drag on well into March, then your opinion changes somewhat. :P I always get excited for that first snowfall, though. I plan to do lots of ice skating this year.

I'm sitting here in a cool house, wearing my PJ's. Just came from outside, where there is a cool breeze and a bright sun. My maple trees are starting to bud their first leaves and the few flower plants I have are in full bloom. I love Spring :) But because there is a slight sticky heat teasing in the horizon, I can tell we are headed for a blistering hot summer. Australian winters are cold, I didn't bother to check the temperature. But it never goes below 6 degrees Celcius. To me that's bloody cold, although all the tourists say "Pfft, this is not cold". I don't care, it's cold to me. And I wouldn't want to live anywhere where it would be colder. Summer FTW!!! I enjoy cooling down more than warming up, because cooling down is more fun! :D

Hmmm, sound very much like Belfast, I've only lived in Northern Ireland a few months, but what I've been told is "expect rain, if it doesn't come, that's a bonus," so very true. And just last week, I popped into belfast before I went to college, on my way to a cafe to do some of my assignment, there was a homeless man rooting round in a trash can, someone put something in it, he started screaming at him, and shaking his fist, I tried so hard not to laugh at the scenario. Not out of cruelty, but because it was his screaming, it was high pitched and just sounded very out of place from the Northern Irish accent.

The bums here are famous. There's the screaming bum. All he does is walk around, occasionally shreiking, tongue waggling, etc. There's the young homeless guy who holds a sign that says "I Need a Girlfriend". He's especially fun on Valentine's day. There's the shivering guy. He hangs out around where most of my school buildings are. He'll shiver very dramatically, but ONLY if he sees somebody looking at him. If you can catch a glance of him when he thinks nobody's looking, he's still. There's the BushMan on Fisherman's Wharf. He hides very obviously behind a sparse little tree thing planted in a plastic bucket and jumps out at you. As a tourist, you see him and you think "Oh, how strange", but then he leaps out and you scream cuz you're not expecting some dirty man to leap out at you. A lot of the sane homeless people out here have dogs, but from what I've seen, if they do get money to eat, the dog gets dibs on the first food. They just have them so they're not so lonely, which I can dig. I wish I could have a pet in my apartment.

We have the guy who stands outside of Starbucks and Walgreens on my block at work. Thoroughout the day, he doubles over more and more. Yet when he leaves his "post" he's walking perfectly upright. Then there's this guy (not a bum, I don't think) who hangs out around Foster & Sheridan and tells people he needs a quarter to call Jesus. Oh, and Crazy Mary. She's also not a bum. She rides my bus route a lot, but not at my normal times. She's unkempt but clean and loudly goes on and on about white bastard pigs and rapists, etc, with a healthy dollup of cussing. It seems like one of those involuntary things. I doubt it's Turrets...I've never seen anyone with Turrets that bad. I also suspect her of being the one who periodically posts hand-written diatribes on the electrical boxes and bus stops around home, because the language is similar. One was about how a local coffee shop puts drugs in their coffee and in the cream - THE CREAM! - but the pig police won't listen, something something about Starbucks a mile south of there, all peppered with pictures of a woman talking to police outside a gas station that's no where near either place.

As for the tourette's syndrome, there is a man that lives across the street from my sister, and his is extremely bad. He can't get a sentence completed without verbal and/or physical tics. The positive thing from her son being around this guy; he doesn't feel so alone in the world any more because there is someone that knows what he's dealing with. He has it as well, and so does his cousin. Yeah, both of these boys belong to my sisters, so no amount of denial on the part of my family can prove that it doesn't run in our line.

Poor atwat, still lost in her fantasy world  ::)

Atwat, there's a HUGE world of difference between some people pointing out your creations are butt ugly in a computer game and real life harassment, get a grip you crazy woman, some people in the real world suffer real unbearable harassment every day. Before throwing out words like 'unbearable' in the same sentance as 'harassment' you need to first distinguish the difference between real life, and computer passtimes, and then the difference between someone elses forum and your own front door.

You don't have to come here and read it, piss off and go floodfill something in snot green or go copy and paste a scarab on another photobooth, that should keep you occupied long enough to forget about your 'unbearable harassment here' In the real world people don't go looking for harassment, nor do they try to provoke it for themselves. It's also funny how the word slander came up, it would only be slander if your creations were NOT butt ugly. (but they are, so it's not!) 

Your leaving TSR was nothing to do with your fantasy harassment, it was more to do with the trouble you caused for many others, your 1001 different accounts, you upsetting just about every FA/SA/Staff member with your power hungry ego trips, the fact married Thomass must be really creeped out by your un-natural infatuation with him, (when his own gran is younger than you) and the lies you've been telling about your imaginary love affair you had with him, Oh yea and lets not forget that PM which came to light JUST before YOU GOT FIRED

For piesake; we were talking about the weather, before Cala showed up and yanked it back to Atwa land! She is not THAT fascinating. This is the same tactics, so characteristic of Atwat. Get up on cross, Nail hands, cry and whinge on how you are being sacrificed, then when people start to leave after the first couple of rounds of that shit (because they realise she LIKES being up there), she begins pointing fingers at imaginary Judases.  ::)

Now she has been outcasted by the paysite community, so she's gone free, not by choice, but through exile. I for one, reserve the right to keep my opinion about her. Would you guys trust her if she came in here and "repented her ways?"

I was actually wondering about that.  Like she saw  what happend with aikea & guinea.  They went free and suddenly everyone was gushing over them (with good reason of course, they're stuff is awesome).  So she thinks, I'll go free and all the pirates will start gushing over me too.  But if she does that, she'll burn what left of the bride to TSR (which admittedly already seems like a charred wreck).  So, she thinks "Ah ha!, I'll have all my free stuff so the pro-free people will gush all over me, but I'll post a pro-TSR message to make sure Thomass knows I'm willing to come back.  Then when I'm so popular with the free crowd, he'll be begging me to come back."

Of course, this won't work because a) the pirates hate her too much, b)she's f'd up too many times at TSR, and c)her creations aren't awesome enough to generate any fangirl/fanboy fantacism.

I ran the thread through google translator, and while not perfect (obviously), I was able to get through the gist of it. I would paste it here, but it's a bit glitchy when pasting it. It's.. partially Swedish, when I try.

The post about the mug is Atwat's last post - posted yesterday. She attempted to contact the police about it, but they basically said that they couldn't do anything about it. In the same post, she namedropped a bit. Coconut stood out the most to me.

*puts on tinfoil hat*

I think Thomas hacked her!  He realized she could still be useful to the TSR cause by being a victim of cruel and senseless hacking.  Her reaction is much more honest if he doesn't tell her, of course.  Because frankly, I don't see anyone here caring enough to bother.  Atwat's always provided a steady stream of stupid and drama without anyone having to exert effort; even Coconut's reasons for coming forward were less about her and more about the privacy violations going on behind the scenes.

Once she figures it out, I'm sure she'll take this as a sign of his affection. ::)

ETA: I found this (http://209.85.171.104/translate_c?hl=en&sl=sv&tl=en&u=http://wwwc.aftonbladet.se/it/0009/04/spelnatverk.html&usg=ALkJrhimU2xwh1UngLvK5I9DszMAyLhgZg) fascinating - it explains who "Jan Isacsson" is on the Paypal subscription form and WTF he does with his time.  Also OMG there's two of him.

I think she just got a computer virus. It happens :P. The Atwas of the world think everything bad that happens to them is because they're being persecuted; nothing could be bad luck, and certainly nothing could be their own damn fault.

I notice that she claims FAs only make $300 a month here. But in one of her e-mails to sherrie on tomato's insanejournal, she claimed they made $5000 a month. Well, which is it? (I don't think it's $5000 unless the FA in question bottoms for Toma$$ an awful lot.) These are hard numbers, not random opinions, there has to be an actual real number there somewhere.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: littlemisspirate on 2008 October 20, 04:00:53
Yeah, I figured the virus was a bad accident.  The mug (if it's true) is kinda weird though...seriously, with today's shipping costs, who'd bother?  Whatevs.

I thought people like Windkeeper made 5K/month?  The $300/month sounds a lot more accurate.  And she did say she personally only made $120/month.  But those are still pretty big numbers when you add up the fact there are 60 FAs (not including Windkeeper, since she's unofficially retired).  Even if you lowball it and assume they all get $100/month, that's 72K each year for featured artists.  Holy fucking shit that's a lot of money.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone did send her a mug like that. That is totally out of line and a complete waste of money. I don't feel bad for her, but it's still a very stupid and wrong thing to do. I did laugh when I first read about it though.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: justso on 2008 October 20, 07:46:01
I definately think she should be looking in her own backyard.  There are quite a few experts over at TSR.  On coconuts post was the first I had heard of POD and yet they talked about sending one as if it was every day practice.  She has upset a lot of people over at TSR hence the defections.  If the mug is true she needs to look at who had her details, as she wasn't on the list in the private forums, that could narrow it.  I have very little sympathy for her,  I have more thought for the people whose private details where shared for the hell of it by Thomas and gang.  The same things happening to Atwat could have happened to them.  As for people outside of the sims recourse hating her.  I very much doubt it.  She is the source of huge amusement but confines her trouble making to TSR and people that are classified as friends, only her exploits have filtered on to this site.  As she said herself people who she thought of as friends did "the dirty" on her, she should now go and look at who is left on her friend list for the answers she needs.

ETA  I do believe that what she was saying about Maxis and TSR starting up.  But when TSR started out wasn't it free and operating within the terms of the EULA.

Yes.  Though I believe it was TSR & Simfreaks who first approached Maxis/EA to get approval to offer items for pay to help cover website costs back in the Sims1 days.  Supposedly Maxis/EA gave the go ahead and said it didn't violate the EULA.  And if it had stayed that way--sites offereing a few items for pay to help cover costs--I don't think you'd see the huge outcry against paysite.  But people got greedy.  It's where Atwa (and TSR) get it wrong.  I think most people understand that it costs money to opperate a site on the scale of TSR.  And I don't think think anyone would complain if a TSR subscription simply offered things like better services, access to extra features, etc.  Its why people don't complain about MTS2 and donations--because they things they are charging for are completely within their rights to charge for.  And also, I've never seen confirmed proof that Delphy or anyone else is making money off of MTS2, where I have seen proof (in the form of a second house) that people are making money off of TSR and therefore that money is going to more than just website costs.

As for the post itself, I believe that her new "sekrit" TSR account probably did get hacked and someone probably did send her the mug.  Waste of time, but she's set herself up as somone who will react (if not overreact), making her a prime target for someone with more malicious intent.  As for the virus though, she probably picked it on the web, just like anyone else.  However, god forbid she actually be like anyone else.

You´re right, I can confirm this. This was discussed at Simfreaks private/mods/admins/creators forum and Heather talked about this meeting with Steve and EA. She didn´t gave much information except the fact that they said to EA that they were making a paysite to cover server expenses. EA agreed with this, to cover server expenses because bandwith was very expensive at that time. Heather also used this argument to not give creators any money for their creations because she said her intention was to save money to cover bandwith issues. She also promised to rotate all the site content to be free in different months what she ended not exactly doing but at that time she was using a lot of arguments to prove that the paysite was not for profit.
A few time later I left the site so I don´t know if they had other meetings with EA. I know by a friend that some months later Simfreaks made a special site to control what was posted at the main site and how creations were made and started to pay creators (and I got some "nice anonymous" mails telling me I was stupid leaving the site because they were making money). I saw also a note posted in a news site about "small business" with some screenshots of this new Simfreaks admin site.

From what I've seen from her, she simply doesn't even grasp the basics of empathy. Remember, she was lolling and yippe-kay-ay-ing all the way when the idea of giving the pirates trojans (or whatever) came up. It's not so funny when it happens to you (or think it happens to you, as the case may be). She's getting a taste of her own medicine, can't own up to that fact since it would destroy the alter ego she maintained all these years and choses to wallow in self-pity instead.

It'd be really tragic if it wasn't so funny.

Devilfish, when you said 'yippe-kay-ay-ing' I immediatley thought of the low wolf on the totem pole in wolf packs. The one who always gets picked on because theyre so damn cowardly and annoying?

And thats what Atwat is. She always sticks with TSR because she knows she cant make it on her own, and nobody likes her because she does all sorts of annoying, drama things.

I bet she's lyin g about the mug, and she probably got the virus from one of those 'Poke the pillsbury dough boy and win an Ipod' banner ads.

Calling that twat a wolf is an insult to the species, stop it! If anything, she is a jackal or hyena, both of them disgusting animals with filthy habits and that describes her personality to a "T". She most likely picked it up by haunting MTS 2 in order to see what she could rip off and exploit. I cannot think the woman plays the game, she just seems to type to cash in on a cow that she doesn't even know.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: neriana on 2008 October 22, 20:28:34
Jackals and hyenas don't have disgusting habits. They're actually very cool creatures, highly intelligent with well-organized social structures, just like wolves. Only human beings can possibly have disgusting habits anyway. (Some other primates and dolphins may be able to as well.) Atwa is most definitely a thoroughly human creature.


Title: Re: Poor Atwat....
Post by: Devilfish on 2008 October 22, 20:30:34
I have to say I honestly don't care if the mug story is real or not. If it is, it's in very bad taste, done by a person who is clearly no better than her. Defeating an enemy by stooping to their level is worse than actually being that enemy. If it isn't true, it means she's stirring up drama and pathos yet again, and really, who could be surprised by that.

That being said, jackals and bottem-feeders, no matter how much we may despise them, are a valuable part of the eco-system. And this forum just would be the same without the bottomfeeders sucking up to the big fish. Hell, it's where half my entertainment comes from.

As for the Gayle master hacker story, that is to cover her own arse that she spammed and attacked her own accounts - the Effie and Beasims ones.  Apparently Steve and Thomass found out (through her IPs) that the same proxies were attacking her accounts that Thomass had set up for her (as well as she forgot to use the proxies sometimes).  But, determined to cover her own arse, she's spreading it around that Gayle hacked her.  :D

Yep - someone who was sick of her boasting about getting the very first new TSR mug for helping with the new site design. Atwat thinks it was coconut, but it was someone else.  :D  Looks like they read here a lot. 

I get what the person was trying to prove, even if I don't condone it. 

If you're referring to the fact that it is her address that has been violated, well it seems they are free and easy with that sort of information at TSR amongst themselves - some of them have been to each other's houses - they wouldn't have had to use some sort of violation to get that info - they probably had it already and she probably left it so she could be desperate contact chick in case Thomass falls down and has a boo boo.

I don't think it's a big deal to send her a mug with Twat written on it - we append her name with it all the time.  It's just a mug.  ;) If the person had sent her something truly offensive like dead things or death threats, sure, but getting in a flap over a rude mug is I daresay the way Atwat would deal with the whole thing - wildly gesticulating at the indignity of said mug. Instead of putting it in perspective - it's just a mug - she can smash it, which she can't do with a PM - no satisfying smash there.

Shit - send me all the mugs you like with TWAT on them *make sure they match dammit - Coolington is house proud* and I will post pictures of my coffee in them in front of my PMBD posts.  I could do with free mugs no matter what the hell they say.  :D

Hmm. I just thought of something. What if Atwa is Coconut?   :o

After all, Coconut feeds Atwa's drama needs.

If Atwa was Coconut, she could she not be feeding us inside information to punish ThomAss for his transgressions with his wife? (Re: The leaked infertility treatment info.) Every time Atwa seems to disappear from the Sims community Coconut posts something about her to stir up the hornet's nest. Coconut feeds Atwa's DramaLlama needs. Coconut's rumours about Atwa ensure that Atwa is the most talked about person in the Sims fandom. (Not really, but that's what Atwa likes to imagine.) She can also use the "OMG, teh pirates r so MEEN 2 me!" card forever to milk sympathy from the TSR sheeple.

No wonder they haven't been able to discover who Coconut is...  ;)

Interesting theory, isn't it?  ;D

I'm sure that's how they got her address, it probably is all her fault.  It's just an interesting way of saying, "How does it feel to have your personal info in some stranger's hands?" without actually sharing her info (which would truly be asshole-ish and sinking to her level).

Get them to fingerprint the mug and the wrapping it came in - you'll not find my prints on anything. Oh and no I haven't a clue what her special nickname is for Thomas and I couldn't tell you what she bought him from monkey world, apart from the fact I was in a totally different part of the shop to her I had totally switched off by then and was so mind numbingly bored of her and her shit by then I was merely counting the seconds until her train got there and I could get her as far away from me as possible.

Off topic-but I would go so far as to say most if not all people have some form of mental illness, depending on how you define mental illness.  I have not found anyone that didn't have something wrong with them.  With some people that 'something' is worse than other people's 'something'.  I have a theory on why this is so, but the point is that we all have some kind of mental issue-whether it be depression, addiction, bi-polar, etc. 


I have to admit I would just hate the idea of her being actually ill. It would make her seem just a bit less responsible for her actions.

Nah.  Especially once you know what is wrong with you, you are still responsible for what you do.  My 'something' wrong with me does not preclude me not being responsible for what I do.  No one gives a crap what is wrong with you, what they care about is what you do and how you act.

Not saying that I am an atwa expert or anything close to that.I did spend every night for 6 months talking to her.How that came about was a slick move on her part.And a dumb move on mine.But anyway,she is a very miserable person.She is suicidal at times (atleast she claimed to be). She is completely obsessed with Thomas.You guys have no idea how deep it goes. Well, he is the only man she has had since she was 27, she is now 53.You can tell by her pictures that she has issues with recreational beverages. She has no friends (surprise), no kids, no close family. All she has is Thomas, TSR, and here. Her life is so empty. Does that mean that I feel sorry for her and I think she should be excused for her actions. Hell no. As Paleo said we all have issues that we have to deal with.

While I agree that everyone seems to have something wrong with them, not everyone who is slightly off-kilter is actually ill. I've spent quite a few years fighting of a nice depression/psychosis two-fer and I can garantee you: if you manage to function without anyone noticing you're not all there, you're not ill in my book. I'm not talking I'm-having-a-bleh-day-depression either. I'm talking full-fledged hallucinations, bathwater turning into spiders and blood, night terrors, suicidal rage, straight jackets, 'visits' from thing that were not human at all... the works. If you meet someone truly psychotic like I was, you'll know. It's horrifying and I'm glad most people never even get to see what true mental illness looks like and only know it from stereotypical images. I'm one of the lucky few who managed to put it behind me, thanks to copious amounts of medication and a loving, understanding family. Very few have been so lucky. That's how I choose to define mentally ill. I'm not having a go at you or anything I respect your opinion, but not everyone who has some bad days is actually clinically depressed.


I have to admit I would just hate the idea of her being actually ill. It would make her seem just a bit less responsible for her actions.

Nah.  Especially once you know what is wrong with you, you are still responsible for what you do.  My 'something' wrong with me does not preclude me not being responsible for what I do.  No one gives a crap what is wrong with you, what they care about is what you do and how you act.

Continuing on what I said before, it depends on how ill you are. If you are seriously convinced that the night terrors are real and that they will suffocate and eat you, if you see your loved ones faces turn into monstrous abominations and receive calls from things saying they will rape you and drag you to hell, if you need two burly male nurses and straps to put you down for the night... No, you're not responsible for your actions. I hurt a lot of people while I was... out, physically as well as emotionally. I'll have to live with that the rest of my life. Doctors telling me the monsters under the bed weren't real did not actually make the monsters go away. And my food still turned into insect and snot.

It's all horribly off-topic and I won't blame anyone for thinking I'm overreacting (or lying my ass off), but that's what actual mental illness looks like. People behaving like childish jerks doesn't even come close to that level of horror.

But anyway, I'm done whining now. Please continue with the actual topic.  :-\

Well, Devilfish, what you are describing is certainly an extreme form of mental illness and I will agree with you that you are not responsible for your actions when dealing with the results from having that type of psychosis.  That is some seriously bad brain chemistry.  I am glad you have recovered from that as it sounds like you lived in hell-literally.  I cannot even imagine dealing with something like that. 

If you compare your experiences with what most people deal with in their 'something' wrong with them, then, no, most people will not even come close to what you think of as mentally ill.  That is why I made the whole 'depending on how you define it' statement.  Using your definition, I am most certainly mind numbingly normal, for example.  However, most mental illness as not as serious as what you dealt with, but they are still defined as mental illnesses.  The definition has changed and been expanded in the last couple of decade to include things that were not considered mental illnesses before.  With those, I guess, less serious forms of mental disorders/illness people are still responsible for their actions, even if they are not at fault for having that issue. 

I wasn't really thinking of something as serious as you describe when I made my statement.  I hope you were not offended.

Post by: Devilfish on 2008 October 24, 01:28:35
A little, but not by what you said. More by the whole 'I'm feeling bad today, I must have a depression' mentality that seems to be all the rage, espacially among very young people. It's just a little awkward for me to hear people complain about their horrible depression when they're actually just having a rough month. I'd never say all the stuff I said here in real life (because nobody would talk to me if I did and honestly, who gives a crap?) and most of my former fellow inmates wouldn't either. So very little people know what it's actually like.

Quote
However, most mental illness as not as serious as what you dealt with, but they are still defined as mental illnesses.

You'd be surprised. I spent some time in hospitals, made friends there, met their friends... all of them ill, because 'normal' people just don't make friends with them and I can certainly see why. I tell you, once you realise just how goddamn many sick people there are, you'll never be able to look at mental illness the same way again. (Although I do suppose we live in very different countries, so maybe it's different somewhere else? Wouldn't know)

But, like I said, I certainly agree that it's not a clear-cut, black-and-white, sick-or-healthy kind of deal. There are shades of grey and some people are just more 'insane' than others, or have their insanity manifest differently. That being said, I really don't think I've seen any people in this community that are 'insane' enough to actually be classified as mentally ill. A lot of ill people can function perfectly without medication or even therapy, so if it's there, it really is very mild and mostly harmless. (Apart from evi. S/he/it really has me worried for other people's safety)

I do want to thank you for being so nice about this, I know I can get carried away when this topic comes up. I should really learn to keep my big mouth shut sometimes.  :-X

Man - now I feel normal too, and I've been a diagnosed manic depressive for almost 20 years now.

I will say that I do pity Atwa/Anita/whatever.

Of topic, I'll say that I think treating anyone who's mind works differently as if they are broken is a mistake - it maddens me when they talk about aspberger's and autism as being so horrid illness - yes, those people do not socialize well without a lot of training and work on the part of those around them and themselves.  But I've known autistic children - sweet, really brilliant and very easy to get along with - maybe its just how I am myself - I know they can be a real handful too, but so can spoiled children.

What I'm trying to say is - maybe we need more understanding and less 'That's another illness' slapped onto things.

Nice, shmice.  I am learning something and that is always valuable.  Plus a good discussion is a good discussion.  I do agree that there are bandwagons people jump on without really thinking about what it means.  For myself, I am a recovering alcoholic and have been diagnosed with clinical depression.  Although, that was only a brain chemistry thing and didn't require any therapy-just drugs.  It wasn't that I was having a bad day, it was more that I was nonfunctional when there was nothing wrong with my life.  It was weird.   Anyway, it used to just piss me off when every other celebrity went into rehab because they drank too much one weekend and then blabbed about AA.  Most of them had no idea what being an alkie was all about or what it truly did to you, they just wanted in on the "disease of the month." It became a freaking status symbol. 

And you are right, most people's issues are of the functional variety, including mine.  I guess what we are talking about is how ill do you have to be to be considered insane at any point?  I have no idea.  I don't consider myself insane, but alcoholism is classified by some references and doctors as a mental illness.  Maybe we are just having a word choice problem.  That is the problem with some of these shades of gray issues.  We are talking using different definitions of terms.  What I consider a mental illness, you do not because of your somewhat unique viewpoint.  Which is understandable.  I am using mental disorder and illness as interchangeable terms.  Perhaps I should not?

That's scary.  Perhaps being alone for so long drove her to her Thomas obsession.  Not that being without a man excuses her.  She could have found a healthier outlet for at least making friends with other people. And ugh the idea of her and him *together* makes me feel a little sick. If they really were I wonder if his wife has any idea or if it's just a delusion on Atwa's part.

*Que Maury show audience going 'OHHH!'*

I do pity  Atwat in a way, nothing excuses that sort of behavior, but she's about ten years younger than my grandma and ten years older older than my mother, why couldnt she have taken up knitting instead of Thomass/TSR/the sims? Why couldnt she get some cats and join a cat lovers club? Join a church with social activities? Just something that would get her out into the sun and around other people for a few hours a week. It might even clear her head of all the things she claims to have wrong with her.

My older brother, who is 22, I mean...18... has Aspergers and is schizophrenic. He was hell to deal with as a teenager, but when he's on meds and stabilized, he is the sweetest guy in the world. And his gift for music and history is amazing. He can play back anything he hears on the piano and he's had no piano lessons in his life, and he could probably tell you how many moles Mussolini had on his left arm. He has an anger issue, but when people are willing to work with him, he's great.

If you insist... (http://www.findspecialties.com/gifts/shop/lifestyle/findspecialties.179417358) :P

I await your votive.  :D

Honestly, some people just don't know how to accept a gift graciously. Calalily, it's good to know that you, on the other hand, would never look a gift TWAT mug in the mouth. But, since I don't have one to send you, would a pissed off looking Garfield mug suffice?

I take any abusive mug messages with grace and aplomb.  :-* It must be a personal insult though - otherwise I'll think you don't care.

I don't think there's anything seriously wrong with Atwat - she's just in a loop she won't break out of.  If all the people I've met in my life who didn't stop and do an internal check to okay their actions were mentally ill, then I know a lot of mentally ill people.  

Of topic, I'll say that I think treating anyone who's mind works differently as if they are broken is a mistake - it maddens me when they talk about aspberger's and autism as being so horrid illness - yes, those people do not socialize well without a lot of training and work on the part of those around them and themselves. 

Well my son has Asperger's - I wouldn't say that it's a horrid illness.  It's more that I have to modify how I explain things to him - logic wins over any kind of emotional plea.  You have to logically explain why it's not good to treat people carelessly, which means that it is lucky I am quick on my toes.  Of course, it's then good that he doesn't stick with his argument for why it's a good idea to do whatever it is - he's not emotionally attached to his point of view so I mostly know I've won because he says "....good point".  :D

There are many reasons why more people are being diagnosed with mental illness in my opinion. We know more about the diseases (and what qualifies as a disease) through research and people are more aware and more educated on them - that's not all the reasons obviously, but both very vital when it comes to recognising a sick person from a healthy person. Then there's the thing about the media. When there's a lot of focus on an illness, more people people will be diagnosed (and I'm not talking self-diagnosed here) with that illness. Why? Because the increased focus will make the doctors more aware of it and therefore be more likely to notice it - even in the beginning stages. If it's a "new" disease, like when depression was first defined, it explains the mental state of a whole range of people, therefore causing more people to be diagnosed with it. The thing about depression is that's it been redefined to include some symptoms that were earlier just discarded as 'teenage angst', so now of course, more people are being diagnosed with depression.

I won't really go into the whole thing about depression being a trend. It sickens me. However, people do have a tendency to self-diagnose and if depression and suicidal behaviour is all you see on the news, well, then that's the thing you know about, right? Again, there'll be more people at least claiming they have a depression. I remember a few years back when everybody had schizophrenia, now it's just trendy to depressed.

That being said, I don't honestly think that the FAs are mentally ill nor am I in a position to diagnose them as such after reading a few posts by them. Disturbingly greedy and self-absorbed, yes, but not really anything more severe. Well, in Atwat's case perhaps more. Sleeping with a man and then calling him your son is just plain perverse. Ew.

And sorry for the long post, heh. TL;DR, yep.

That's what I was getting at, thanks for saying it better. It is a problem, especially since some people really do need help but are afraid they'll be concidered poseurs and bandwagon-hoppers if they own up to being ill. And I'd like to mention at this point that I have nothing against teenagers who really are ill. I'd never think they're misguided straight of the bat. I was depressed as a toddler. Rare, but it happens. It took me until I was sixteen (when I was more or less through the worst of puberty) before people started concidering something might actually be wrong with me, that it was not just 'teenage angst'. Ten years of being ignored simply because I was a teenager did nothing to help my situation. So I try to go easy on the teens. Some of them may actually need help.

God, I have so many thought and opinions on the subject, but for now let me say that I appreciate everyone fessing up. I was afraid I'd become the resident nutcase  ;D

We should totally start a 'Diagnose a pirate' self help thread.

I don't think Atwa's suffering from a mental illness. (It'd just be another thing she could use to her advantage; think about it.) I think she's seriously just a drama queen and has been coddled too much by Thomas and she's a selfish you-know-what!!

No psychology degree or psychoanalysis needed to pinpoint her issues! :D

Obsession is considered a mental illness.

As for the media, I think they are using Autism/Depression/MID to keep from addressing diabeties - which is an illness, will kill you, but first it takes your sight, your limbs, your ability to feel your feet, your ability to heal injuries and illnesses - and caused by this unhealthy ability of our advertising industry to LIE about what is healthy to eat, just so companies can make a fast buck.

That's just my outlook - knowing two diabetics now who have lost parts of their body to that 'condition', one girl missing most of a leg now from stepping on a nail.  From knowing entirely too many diabetics of both type 1 and type 2, and from being one.

Which irks me more because that means that you not only are lead to believe that there is something -wrong- with a mind that works logically instead of being emotional, and instead of learning to adjust around it, parents will go so far as to -ignore- the flaw in their baby and do nothing, but also it means we're ignoring an actually -deadly- problem that is affecting a large chunk of the population.

My son has has Aspergers and ADHD.  He was "labelled" at 18 months old and officially diagnosed at age 4/5.  He'd not long started school so it was around the time of his 5th birthday. There are days when it's hell to be near him as he has a very spiteful aggressive side to him but when he is taking his meds and they are working he is very sweet natured and loving. Well as loving as an emotionally detached person can be!  It can be draining at times to remember to carefully explain things when you have had a few months of just 2 hours sleep per night. He takes everything said to him literally, a year after a situation where a supply teacher told him he had worked his socks off I am still trying to explain to him that it was merely a saying meaning he hard worked hard.  He sat at home the night it happened just looking at his feet sobbing and saying he hadn't worked his socks off cos they were still there and was very confused by it.  Every now and then I catch him looking at his socks to check they are still there LOL

As for Atwa - the only thing wrong with her is she lives in a fantasy world inside her own head because she quite simply has no life in the real world. ::)

*Desperately wants to make a some sort of "Come to mama" -joke, but will not, since it would be in bad taste*

About: Atwa.
Yeah, she seems like a sad, lonely person. If she has no friends or family outside TSR, I understand why she's so obsessive about Thomass and TSR in general. However, that doesn't excuse her behaviour. If you're not suffering from serious mental illness that prevents you from functioning in "normal" society alltogether, you are responsible for your actions. Just because you're on the Internets doesn't mean that you can backstab everyone and expect to get away with it. Obsessing over some married guy who is much younger than you just isn't cool.

Atwa, go out, clear your head and start making some real friends.

it maddens me when they talk about aspberger's and autism as being so horrid illness.
What utter silliness. Totally agree with you, Foxy. 
Asperger's is not an illness. Illness is something you can cure, whereas people who have Asperger's are just... Born different. IMO, that is not an illness. Furthermore, people who have Asperger's can usually learn to function better in society with some training (as in, how to act in different situations, what kind of behaviour do "normals" find frightening/agressive/non-friendly etc.). The training doesn't "cure" them, but it can help them.

I've taught some kids with Asperger, and while they were different, I never thought they were ill. Just different from other kids. Also, drawing the line between somebody who has Asperger's and somebody who is just very eccentric is very hard. One of my students, I never realised he had Asperger's before somebody mentioned about it to me. He was just rather quiet and often liked doing things on his own. One of his classmates was also tested for Asperger's, but the tests came back negative, even though he exhibited several characteristics (bluntness, inability to read other kids' reactions, obsessing over certain things, etc.)  It was funny, though, I ended up treating him like he had Asperger's, as he reacted to instructions much better that way.  ;)

Well, also they are still not sure how to diagnosis it anyway - for example, if I'm remembering right, they still tend to think one of the telling signs is a fascination with the mechanical.  I read somewhere they were just now realizing that girls had it -just as often- but their fascination tended towards animals.  I did a lot of research because I did this test online and it suggested I might have it.  I do have some of the traits, but I'm actually a very emotional person - I do take things literally and I'm fascinated by how -everything- works, mechanical and living, emotional and physically.  I do know my mind works differently than the -norm- but I also was lucky to have teachers who liked me and went out of their way to nurture my mind.  Other kids were a horror though.

I'm not sure how recent your info is, but they've generalised it to obsession with anything - although there are tendencies towards certain things.  There's some exciting research coming out now - cutting edge stuff - about the gait of kids with Aspergers being different to both normal kids and kids with autism.  They hope to be able to determine whether or not a kid should be tested for Aspergers instead of waiting until the kid runs into problems - http://www.abc.net.au/catalyst/stories/2389736.htm.

One of my boys has many, many problems. Being BiPolar, mildly MR and having ADD are just 3 of them- to give you an idea of how his life is.
He has always been in special education classes and will most likely never function above the level of a 4th grader. There have been times when just thinking about what he'll do when he's considered an adult has made me cry. I know that he'll never lead a "normal" life....but he doesn't. He'll most likely never be able to drive a car (he's almost 16 and couldn't take driver's education- they dropped him out of the class after a week)- he lacks the ability to concentrate and judge a situation properly. He talks about going to college- functioning at the level he does, that's highly unlikely. He talks about getting married and being a daddy- that could definitely happen, if he finds the right girl who understands and accepts who and how he is whole-heartedly. He talks about working- again, could definitely happen...but it's unlikely that he'll ever get a "skilled" job that pays well. If he's to ever live on his own, he'll need supervision- so he'll never truly live on his own. For the rest of his life, he'll be struggling to add 2+2 (it's not that he can't, it's that he forgets how to do basic math and has to be reminded) and his library card is rarely used- young adult and adult books are too hard for him to read.
Don't get me wrong. I love my son uncondtionally. He's mine- "faults" and all. That's my boy, my baby. I've always done all I can to try to improve his situation.
The only reason I say a any of this now is this- someone told me that he envies my son because he'll always have it "easy" and be able to "skate" through life. Believe it or not, I managed to not kill that person.

My son has Asperger's too (doesn't it seem like it's overrepresented in our little sample?!)  He's obsessed with machines, is reluctant to do anything other than build stuff out of Legos, and collects incredible amounts of trivia.  Until now (he's 12) he's always been naive and guileless, but now that he's nearly a teen, there's a little more sophistication in his thinking.  He's not socially inappropriate, but tends not to mix and prefers solitary activities like reading.  One of the reasons I'm homeschooling him is that he was miserable in a group setting.

What I've learned is that there's a huge spectrum of Asperger's symptoms, which is why it's classified as a syndrome.  It's a bit of a hodgepodge like ADHD--the terms get thrown around but they're easy to confuse wth other stuff(My older son, who we finally know has severe ADHD, was misdiagnosed as having Tourette's, seizure disorders, and OCD for many years).  I think, when there are multiple possibilities and especially in children, clinicians are quick to label with whatever diseases they're most familiar with.

Devilfish, I understand what you're saying. I'm sorry you had to go through what you did, and thank God for medication that works.  My mother was deeply psychotic for five years before she died.  It was hell on everyone around her, but especially on her.

Paleo, I think we're very much alike.  Glad you have things under control.  I do, too, knock on wood.

Having a kid with issues just shows you the overwhelming amount of absolutely stupid people in the world - with no thought or consideration for others, and what it's like to be in someone else's shoes.  We're lucky in that Aspergers is the sole issue for my youngest - nothing else to stack on top, and nothing else to deal with.  But my eldest son has spina bifida, and we've had idiots tell us that if we just tried hard enough, his issues would disappear completely.   ::) Dude - I never fucking thought of that - thank you.  And then there's the thoughtless arses who talk about disabilities as if they're a punishment or a lesson for the parent.

Not a punishment or lesson for the parent(s) at all. I firmly believe that God (not to drag religion into this) doesn't give anyone more than they can handle. You'd be surprised how many people consider their disabled or handicapped child (or children) a gift...not a curse.

You are all right there are some pretty stupid/ignorant people out there in the world :(

My little one is obsessed with dinosaurs and animals, particularly birds of prey and sea life.  We have millions of dinosaurs and he always groups them into herds, standing tallest to smallest. The herbivores one side of the room grouped around trees and the meat eaters the other side of the room.  I know the dangers of magnetix but I have to say it was the best thing I ever bought him, he builds amazing models, normally of dinosaurs and you can actually see which dinosaurs they are supposed to be.  I know he will never swallow any of it because he just won't put things in his mouth including food, we have that battle every mealtime!!  He reads encyclopaedias for pleasure (weird child!).   He was 7 yesterday and has already completed all of the english and maths they do in the 1st school with just under 2 years left there and got the highest score in both subjects within the school in his SATS which he took a year early, but things like playtime he sits in a corner on his own and roars at anyone who goes near him!  He has 1:1 support to help him remain in mainstream school.

Mustluvcats - I admire your restraint - I would have slapped them!

Devilfish - no offence taken, I find it very hard to maintain a straight face at times myself  ;D

Sounds like my brother when he was younger. He used to tell my mom, at the age of 4, that he wanted to be a paleontologist. He never mispronounced it. Now, he's actually going to community college and is going through the Vet Assistant program. He was telling me that he helped a cow give birth in class the other day (he lives in rural Missouri). He's such a good guy when he's on his meds but last year, he had a break down. He went missing for 5 months...no word to anyone. He finally remembered my cell phone number (out of my entire family's numbers to remember, heh) and called me. I happened to be sitting next to my mom while she was in the hospital for her diabetes at the time. It was such a relief to know that he was safe...made her day a lot better. It turns out he just got sick of everything, drove his car North from Texas until he ran out of gas somewhere in Missouri, left his ID, cash, EVERYTHING in his car and just started walking. When I think about what could have happened to him without an ID of any sort on him....I'm so glad he happened to find a farm that was kind of a church program. They took him in, helped him get his life back together...and when he finally felt like he could get back to his life, he called me. Now he's got a job, an apartment...he's stable, on meds, and seeing a therapist. He's happy, too. That's the most important part.

I know I'm a bit late to the subject but I wanted to pop in about the children with disabilities conversation.

I assist adults with mental retardation and/or developmental delays. I love my job. My guys live in a duplex and I come in for 10-12 hour shifts and help them with whatever they need. I have worked with people with violent behavioral issues, severe autism, cerebral palsy and other conditions. We work to help them find purpose in life and pursue it.

I worked with a guy with autism. He didn't speak and was very easily overwhelmed by other people. We discovered that he loved crushing aluminum cans and sort of helped him start his own business. We got containers and started collecting aluminum cans at our homes. He'd come over to our houses to pick up the cans, take them home, crush them and recycle them for a small amount of money. It was never a lot but it was a real job that he enjoyed and contributed to society.

I'm rambling. I just want to reassure you that there are caring people out there who will enjoy working with your child when they grow up. They will help them and they can have a full and meaningful adult life.

It sounds like there are a lot of good parents on this thread.  Personally, I was diagnosed with NLD (which is kind of a distant cousin to the autism spectrum) in conjunction with some serious ADHD, when I was 16, and let me tell you, it was a bitch finding that out so late.  Although in many ways I'm fortunate, I have all sorts of terrible habits to  break now and it's rough feeling like you're trapped inside your head.

Littlemisspirate:  I know what you mean by bad habits you've got to break. My older son was misdiagnosed for so long--and put on meds that did more harm than good--that his high school years were a disaster. Finally he was diagnosed with ADHD and put on the right meds.  But he's got to learn a lot of basic skills that flew right by him.

You're certainly full of win. I've worked with people with disabilities on and off for more than 30 years. It's so gratifying to help someone achieve their potential. I've learned not to assume anything about the future of any person with a given label. I love this article here:

http://autismforparents.wordpress.com/2006/05/08/24/

Being the parent of a child who isn't neurotypical (I love that term coined by autism activists) is tough, but just being a parent is tough anyway.

I'm far from neuro-typical myself.

I'd personally like to smack anyone who thinks a person with a developmental disorder is anything more or less than a person.

My present client has cerebral palsy. He has almost no control over his body and cannot even talk, but he is college educated, kind and a total smart ass. He is also a fervent activist for the rights of the disabled and I have seen him attack assholes with his wheelchair, pinning them into walls. I'm sure he'd love to hear how easy his life is.

That's my problem - few people would consider me nuerotypical [I hate PC titles.....according to them I'm also horizontally challenged [fat]] because I look at things pretty sideways.

But I certainly manage.  I don't manage well on my own, but that's fine because I'm not on my own.  I have a wonderful group of family/friends and the fact I can't seem to land anything better than a fastfood/restaurant job, even with my education doesn't matter.  Of course, most of that comes from being a sculpture major - a college education doesn't help much there, except if you get teaching credentials, and I never actually got my degree, those are out of the question.

Thing is, life is hard for most people, its not unique to someone who's different - but if most people actually got a clue, then maybe it wouldn't be as hard for someone who's different, because they wouldn't have idiots giving them extra to deal with.

I feel more comfortable with my clients than I ever have with my peers. I don't really like people in general, but I can be myself around my clients. My social awkwardness and general weirdness help me understand their perspective. My odd way of thinking leads me to outside-the-box solutions to their needs where conventional thought has failed.

It's other peoples' bullshit that make my clients' lives difficult. Rarely does anyone address my guy with CP as a rational adult. One time at Mcdonald's, the manager told me it was ok for him to go into the playland area to watch the kids. Hello?! He is a 26 year-old man...watching other people's kids play is not amusing to him. He is neither an imbecile nor a pervert. Would you just randomly tell an adult man it is ok to go watch the kids play? It's absurd. There was no reason to assume he had any such desire.

They don't realize that there are functioning, often brilliant minds that occupy those bodies and it pisses me off so much. My brother suffered from Michado-Joseph disease for more than thirty fucking years, and it robbed him of everything except some rudimentary control which he used to manipulate a computer to make his thoughts known. He was in an exo-skeleton and wheelchair at the end, and it infuriated me that people assumed that he didn't understand  a damn thing they said.

My brother was a brilliant man. He was a terrific father. Bless the fates that he didn't pass that defective gene onto his children, but he was determined to be a normal functioning human being as long as he could. He was a small man, not much over five foot four inches tall, but he had the heart of a lion. He taught me a lot about standing up and saying, "Yes, I can," when someone would tell me that I couldn't do something.

People living outside of Portugal have probably never heard of this condition, unless they have ancestors from said country like my brother did. It is genetic, his father passed it to him. It is worse then MS. It turns a person in their first flush of maturity into an invalid over a period of years. From what I understand, my brother was the oldest living survivor of it. Yeah, I know it's nothing like what you guys have been discussing, but he got a lot of the same treatment that other people dish out to the autistic/ADHD/Ausbergers/CP. And it infuriates me because no matter what, those people are all entitled to human dignity.

I've actually got Aspergers. It isn't obvious in me now, but as a kid I was apparently pretty  bad. 

My parents never told me until I was 23, so it was quite a shock to find out.  They didn't want me growing up with a label.  At school I would get picked on and stuff and I would never really understand why.  I am a pretty outgoing person, very cheerful with my worst trait being that I am a little loquacious.  You wouldn't describe me as being shy, or bereft of a sense of humour, either.  Over the years I've made a lot of social improvements.  I've got a bunch of pretty good friends, an active social life, and a husband who loves me.  No kids though, I've got PCOS to boot.

Thing is, life is hard for most people, its not unique to someone who's different - but if most people actually got a clue, then maybe it wouldn't be as hard for someone who's different, because they wouldn't have idiots giving them extra to deal with.
I agree.  The problem is, people in general have so little understanding or awareness of disabilities or mental illness.  To them, people with disabilities are 'retards', and those with mental illness are 'crazy' or 'loopy', and those labels are all that they will see, and whats worse, its all that they want to see.  People get surprised when I say I have a neurological condition because I'm not what people expect to see.  A lot of people would be surprised at the number of 'special' people or 'different' people are out there living very normal lives.  (Not us though, just look at The Sims Resource.  A whole Sims 2 site run by 'special' people :D )

Forgive me if I was insulting someone you care about.  But I read what you wrote and it just floored me completely.  I worked with autistic kids in college, and I've worked with physically handicapped kids and adults before and I cannot believe anyone can have that attitude.

Me and several staff members of one place I worked, spent months teaching a kid how to tie his shoes.  He had a nerve disorder and almost all fine motor coordination was impossible for him.  Day after day, we worked with him, teaching him to tie his shoes. Finally, he got it and would tie his shoes every morning.  It would take him almost half an hour to do it, and sometimes he got it wrong, but he did it.  Every morning he woke up way before breakfast so he could tie his own shoes.   So he wouldn't have to wear slippers or loafers all the time.  

Yeah, that was someone who was skating through life.  *Snorts*  All he wanted was to be a normal person who could tie his own shoes and was willing to go through agravation every single day for that tiny peice of normalacy that the rest of us take for granted.  To me, this kid was a hero.  And forgive me, but it pisses me off that anyone could think that someone who has difficulty doing things we all take for granted is skating through life.   The whole purpose of helping people with disabilities is because they can't do the things we so-called "normal" folks can do.   Also, I've yet to see anyone on any form of disability living the life of Rilley.  At least in the US, they give you enough to survive and that's about it.  Most of the people I worked with would have sold their soul to be able to go to work every day, make their own money, and live their own lives.  They didn't want to take handouts, they wanted to contribute to society.  

You can tell a lot about a society by the way they treat those who are less fortunate.

BlackDwarf, don't worry about it. Seriously! He deserves to be insulted for having that attitude. Or should I say for having had that attitude? While I don't like what he said or agree with it, I actually understood where he was coming from at the time. Now, thanks to my tendency to bite when riled, he understands that my son doesn't have it easy and certainly isn't ever going to skate through life.

The shoe thing reminds me of a little guy who lives at the group home I worked at. He can't tie his shoes. So, every morning I was there, he'd walk up to me and put his foot up to get me to bend my leg- then he'd prop his foot on my knee and I'd tie his shoe(s). For some reason, that always made me smile.

Great, my sister thinks the loony bin is a hotel and her big sis enjoys a permanent vacation sitting on her fat arse and letting the nurses wait on me hand and foot.

How old is your sister?  Because if she's anything like my little sister, I've gotten the impression she hates how much time and attention my parents have used on me.

Oddly enough, I was borderline for Asperger's as a child.  I even had the fascination with disasters - when I was in preschool, I'd read the paper and rattle off death counts to my teachers.  They actually questioned my parents about it, who then explained I read it myself.  But it's a struggle no matter where you fall on the scale - I know compared to many others with NLD or people on the autism spectrum I'm extremely high-functioning, but it's still hard when everyone expects you to be smarter and more successful than your peers, only to find out you're missing critical components to reach those goals.  Just a different set of issues, I guess.

She's 14 now, my other sister's 17 and my brother's 21 (I'm the oldest) and they all treat me like my life is a luxury cruise compared to their dreary excistance. Which hurts so much. I can understand strangers and even some friends not getting it and saying stupid shit, but my family? I love my sisters and when it comes to my brother... well, it's better now that he lives is Paris and stopped trying to kill me. (Oh yes, he tried. Bare hands, shovel to the head, rocks to the skull, bowlingball on the head from the second floor, good ol-fashioned choking...)

So, sibling rivalry? I'd say yes. I knew he hated me so I wasn't all that surprised, but my sisters? That's what I hate most about this deal I've been given, I've lost my family. They think I'm a weird, lazy drama queen and want nothing to do wth me. If they meet me in public, they avoid me. If they have friends over I'm asked to please be somewhere else.

I've read about people here supporting their 'special' siblings through thick and thin and all I can say is, you guys rock.

EDIT: I'm 18 and so is my entire family and my little doggie too. Good luck with the killing me. If my shovel-wielding bowling-ball-tossing neanderthal of a brother couldn't do it in person, I doubt you'll have much luck over the interubes  :P

Thanks, that should cheer me up  ;D

At least I'll always have BF and my mother backing me up. That's good enough for me, I suppose. And maybe when my sisters aren't 12 anymore, we'll get along fine. Here's to hoping my stupid family turns out okay.

Mine saved me from a very dark hole when we met, I'll be honest, if it wasn;t for him I'd probably be dead by now!

Just wish he'd clean the fuck up after himself now though, and show me affection more often too!!!

I love my sisters and when it comes to my brother... well, it's better now that he lives is Paris and stopped trying to kill me. (Oh yes, he tried. Bare hands, shovel to the head, rocks to the skull, bowlingball on the head from the second floor, good ol-fashioned choking...)

Wow. If I had a brother like that, I think I'd be depressed too. Are you sure it's not your brother that has the problem?

I only ask because I have a child that spent his childhood and teen years trying to kill his brothers. By the time he was 14, I finally had to start putting him in behavior programs just to keep our family safe. He has several disorders and each one plays off the other one. No amount of meds help him. However, they did tell me he couldn't be helped and by the time he was 21 he'd be dead or in jail. I am proud to say he is neither. He's a functioning member of society. Perhaps not like his brothers, but he's served in the military, did a tour in Iraq and is now a civilian with a job and living on his own.

I've read quite a few stories here that I can relate to personally and would like to send well wishes to all. Don't give up hope. It's the one thing we all have that no one can take from us and it's what keeps us going. I know what it's like to just try to survive one more hour with a child with behavior disorders. It was hope that kept me going. Ya'll can do this. Hang in there.

My brother spent many of his teen years trying to kill me, too. I still love him. He'd also choke me, throw me down stairs, etc. I was scrappy as hell and stubborn as hell and that would upset him, so he'd get angry at me. They were still trying to get him on the right meds. Now his temper is stable, he's one of the sweetest people in the world.

Well, my brother was never quite as bad as that, but his friends on the other hand...
There was a neighbor boy who practically lived at our house for years.
Did you know that Avon Skin-so-Soft is highly flammable? Well, I didn't. Not until he sprayed the flames in my face! And then there were the BB guns... the loaded 22 in my face half the time... and the fun they both had seeing how long they could hold me under water until I passed out.
I feel a bit like Chaos in the fact that my bro turned out pretty sweet (no meds, though). Actually, I'm amazed at what an incredibly pacifistic person my older brother is today, considering the company he kept.

It's me, acoording to everyone in the whole wide world. Because me brother, you see, is such a nice guy. Everyone knows my brother and he's so cool, real funny guy, handsome and smart, he's really going places. He's a DJ and a prefect student and knows everyone there is to know. Me, I'm his obnoxious sister who gets locked up and medicated. Obviously, I'm the one who's at fault.

It is him. I think his anger issues started a lot earlier than my depression, but we were both toddlers so who knows? He honestly tried to kill me. Not just a 12-year-old sibling scrap sort of thing. Now that I've been away from home for two years and had time to put things in perspective, I can honestly say that he abused me and wanted me dead. Nobody knew. Hell, I didn't even know it myself, because whenever I mentioned it to someone they were all like, yep, that's siblings for ya. How could I have known?

But that's in the past now. He moved to Paris to become the next family hot shot and me... Well, I'm still trying to become a teacher, so that's something to look forward to. We'll meet at Christmas and smile awkwardly at each other and I'll probably make small talk with his lovely, perfect wife. I can do that. It's not like I hate him.

I don't get along with my middle sister at all either - except, since I'm 5 years older, she never tried to kill me, just get my mom to do it, by making it look like I abused them when babysitting.  I wish I had more in common with my youngest sister, but we get along okay.

What's funny is my middle sister goofed - she figured my rich grandmother wouldn't -care- that her only daughter [our mom] was being shunned, and now she's pretty much completely out of the will, unless my grandmother forgot to rewrite it.  Surprised my mom too, but my gran won't even get presents for her great grand kids, since it helps out my sister.

Give it time, and your brother will get karmic rebalance - not to be mean, but just because that is what happens.

Well, I never wished anything bad on her, but having always been the family black sheep, there was and is a certain satisfaction in that having gone to someone else, even if it took 35 years.

And to the best of my knowledge, her life is still good - much nicer house than I have, and her husband is the very much youngest, so still gets spoiled rotten by his family.  My mom had enough though, and since she wouldn't give them money anymore, they told her she couldn't ever come over again.  She still comes over to my mom's for christmas though.  Its kind of a shame, her kids are awesome, even if their parents are.....not.

Well my son has Asperger's - I wouldn't say that it's a horrid illness.
I am unconvinced this "illness" exists. This "Assburgers" business is nothing more than an F conspiracy to stigmatize proper, right-thinking T children.

It's more that I have to modify how I explain things to him - logic wins over any kind of emotional plea.
As is proper. Logic and reason are the measure of all things. Emotion unrestrained by reason is nothing more than rubbish. Feelings exist to be crushed and broken, much like coal is pulverized into smaller chunks before being thrown into a fire. The idea that such proper thinking at a young age represents an "illness" is clearly rubbish foisted by blathering Fs.

Inform him that there will come a time when we will finally overthrow those pathetic untermensch and put them in their proper place as zoo animals to perform for our amusement. Until then, we wait and prepare.

While I am unconvinced that the Pescado persona exists in meatspace.  ;) In both cases, our respective opinions mean diddly.

They're not totally T thinking anyway (and I've previously expressed how dumb arse stupid that test is) - anger is confused with embarrassment - I had to explain what the difference was about two weeks ago - so emotions are still felt, and reacted upon, just not identified correctly, or they don't draw appropriate responses.  In conversation, rather than identify "laughing with" the default is always "laughing at". That's not helpful - they still get hurt feelings, just they react differently and take it as a frustrating experience because they don't know how to express it.

It is a fallacy to think that any child with Aspergers is emotionless - they display emotion - they just don't have any definition to that emotion and can't identify it.

Well it puts you through your paces, nevertheless. I can explain to the 12 that it is wrong to point out the giant lump on someone's face because it makes them feel bad, and the explanation is over. I try to explain that to the 1012 and the answer is "why does it make them feel bad - it's the truth" and much explanation is gone into why it might not be a sensible thing to point out the faults of others in a loud voice, and why that might hurt the feelings of the other person, and not be a good thing for him.

I can't see why stopping him from being punched in the face when he's older is a bad thing - or why I should try to raise a Pescadoean child for a non-Pescadoean world.  They're both very logical - already they have decided to be worshippers at the altar of science, and savvy peoples in a world of advertising. 

Neither of my 12s are concerned with becoming ubermensch - one cares too much about morality and the environment, and the other is too lackadaisical about anything but science experiments.  :D

...uh, isn't that how it is? Laughing requires something to laugh at. Something is ALWAYS laughed at. Laughing "with" merely means pointing at something else to laugh at. Just because someone is laughing, it does not mean they are laughing at you, but they are laughing at SOMETHING. It is typically considered impolite to point at the laughee when they might see you, as they might react poorly to this, but it is completely proper to do so if you are certain they will not witness the pointing, or you are protected from their retaliation by armaments, physical distance, or the immediate presence of a police officer (although this is unreliable). Like saying goes, as even the most immature encrustling knows, there must always be one Spathi that picks the short Ta-Puun stick.

That's not helpful - they still get hurt feelings, just they react differently and take it as a frustrating experience because they don't know how to express it.
Obviously, you have failed to explain to them that feelings are nonsense, and whatever they think it is, it does not matter: They should just crush it into a ball and bury it like radioactive waste. What does one do with radioactive waste afterwards? Simple: You drop it on your enemies at an opportune moment, poisoning them, their children, and their land. Pity about the land, but war is hell.

It is a fallacy to think that any child with Aspergers is emotionless - they display emotion - they just don't have any definition to that emotion and can't identify it.
Well, sure. That is because it is not logical, and is, in fact, a leftover relic of the evolutionary process. In time, it will pass. Particularly if people sensibly select against it, so that it might diminish with each passing generation until it ceases to exist.

My explanation to "why" is simple: Who knows? It's one of those bizarre irrational behaviors of lesser beings. It is, however, fairly predictable, and can thus be manipulated accordingly. Try pointing and laughing from, say, the opposite side of a hidden navigational hazard that your victim is unaware of. Landmines work well for this purpose. What is funny will then get funnier. Also, you might suggest that it is not necessary to point out something if not doing so will bring the victim to harm in an amusing way that will entirely not be your fault at all, or if it simply results in absolutely no useful or funny purpose.

I can't see why stopping him from being punched in the face when he's older is a bad thing - or why I should try to raise a Pescadoean child for a non-Pescadoean world.  They're both very logical - already they have decided to be worshippers at the altar of science, and savvy peoples in a world of advertising.

But why is he telling you this story if he does not wish you to laugh AT something? Laughing "with" is a meaningless term. It is much like "allying with". Without an ENEMY, an alliance is meaningless. You ally WITH someone AGAINST something else, which may be undefined, but still is assumed to exist: Otherwise, it is meaningless.

Pish. Emotion is not a leftover relic.  It is a fundamental reason as to why you have enemies, why you want a woman who can kill only with her thumbs.
...and, you know, if they were rational, they wouldn't have wound up as enemies. They became ENEMIES because they refused to be reasonable.

Such is the emotional lack of definition of the child with Aspergers - they don't gauge reactions well, nor do they anticipate reactions, or think about what reaction they might want. He may not intend it to be a funny story, or he hasn't considered at all how others will see that story. They don't understand social cues.

It's a metaphor for, well, everything. It basically says that someone always gets pwnt, I.E., picks the short Ta-Puun stick.

Ah. I'll never use it, but good to know. Thank you.  :)

As all things ultimately derive from force, someone who is not adept from the most basic level in doing so is not someone I want polluting my gene pool.

Well, if you didn't care about how others interact with you - as a machine bot doesn't care about what you think either - you would not mind if they were rational, irrational, yellow or whatever. Logic is not leant to great rages - the rage is because things are not going the way that the person raging wishes them to go.  Logical items do not resent others, or wish others to conform.

As for rationality in wanting a woman who can kill with her thumbs - you, according to your internet persona are without spawn, and have expressed distaste for any and all 12s, so which gene pool would anybody be pissing in, killing with thumbs or calalily-like?  You could marry one of your many fangirl types - one who squees and giggles at everything you say, and can barely squish a fly. Without a 12 of your own, there is no gene pollution, unless you are known for your properties of osmosis (which I highly doubt).

Without emotion, enemies are nothing to you, and Pescado is a Buddhist monk.
I'm fine with that. People would stop being my enemies if they weren't so irrational, and I'm fine with that. I happen to enjoy killing them, but I don't let that prevent me from reaching a reasonable solution.

You are the furtherest person from a Buddhist monk - ever. Unless one includes the fictional Shaolin-based monk Pai Mei (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pai_Mei#Pai_Mei) and I could totally buy that.  All those things mentioned have emotive statements, or expressions of emotions in them - to enjoy killing, to be fine - these are statements about how you feel.

It also happens to be the reason you are here - emotion for others and the expression of that were your conception.  Emotions are valuable and part of our future - without it there will be no selective evolution.
Sure there would be. It would be a selective evolution guided by reason and logic.

Under a forced breeding program? How would people get into the mood (ie. lust) without emotion - without attraction and lust, there is no procreation to begin with.  Or would we just be given to test tubes and much poking? To what end - to remove all emotion - to work for a goal we don't care for once we have reached?

Yes, but a little effort now avoids a lot of problems later.

Why are they bizarre and inferior? Because they are irrational. Surely even a mere Calalilyspawn can see that irrationality is inferior: Why else would it be pointlessly incomprehensible like such?

Ah but that assumes that I will be the only person ever to tell them how things work - that there are not books and other sources of influence.  They will one day not care what I think as part of the independence process, and thus this will not save trouble now, but rather create problems in the future.  While I can tell them that irrationality is a fault, I cannot make it so that they live in a bubble, and are never questioned. Indeed, part of the purpose of schooling is to have them questioned and critiqued (both as people and their ideas, thoughts and preconceptions) by the group as a whole.

Therefore the idea that I would have the ultimate say is doomed - unless I like homeschooling. Which I don't.

Rather than that he will be distracted by having something else better to do, or will go hardcore and never stop trying.  While I agree that there are a great deal of minds that will never understand, or care to try to understand, that doesn't mean that they should be destroyed. One must appeal to their self interest - and in the means of environment, that will be soon. In morality, that will only ever matter to him.

But why is he telling you this story if he does not wish you to laugh AT something? Laughing "with" is a meaningless term. It is much like "allying with". Without an ENEMY, an alliance is meaningless. You ally WITH someone AGAINST something else, which may be undefined, but still is assumed to exist: Otherwise, it is meaningless.


Such is the emotional lack of definition of the child with Aspergers - they don't gauge reactions well, nor do they anticipate reactions, or think about what reaction they might want. He may not intend it to be a funny story, or he hasn't considered at all how others will see that story. They don't understand social cues.

It's not just about not understanding social cues.  It's also not knowing that they even exist!  I didn't know it was rude if you don't say "hi, how are you?" (aka small talk) as you pass by people you know.  (Oh and honestly telling someone that you're doing crappy is inappropriate apparently.)  I didn't know it was rude to not look people in the eye when talking to them.  For the rest of the population, this stuff is a given.  They pick it up while growing up without even knowing it but somehow I didn't and your son didn't.

It gets better if you're willing to take the lumps and learn from them.  The alternative of withdrawing into yourself and shutting the world out leaves a lot to be desired in my experience.

I still don't fully understand why people react illogically but I know well enough to not tell them that they're being illogical!

I still think honesty is the best policy even if the truth is hurtful, but I've found myself lying in the recent years because I've become weary of the f drama bomb.  I don't like it at all but I do understand now where there are times when fibbing could be considered necessary.  I prefer to say nothing at all if I can and often do.

I appreciate you talking to your son the way you do, Calalily.  I would of loved for someone to have done the same for me!  It would of saved me and everyone around me some grief.

Pes, people tell me I'm irrational all the time, and I am not your enemy.  Of course, I also think I'm very rational - I also have emotions, and I'm proud of those.

And if your two 12s team up, Cala, they could probably come up with a great solution to saving the planet without wiping out -all- of humanity.  But personally, I think we'd be better off clearing off a lot of the extra population.  Then again, I know they will come back, and without a good measure to -keep- the population down, its a short term solution.

As for myself, what is frustrating is knowing logically that I'm not being made fun of, or laughed at or shunned, yet feeling it so strongly emotionally that it still causes me a problem.

From reading all of his spiel, I got one thing and that was "polluting his gene pool" (Almost wrote "poop" in there) and that makes me wonder if perhaps there's something that hasn't been announced?? Shall we be buying morning star baby rattles and chain mail diapers in preparation for a baby Pescado? (Not to mention lighting candles and praying for our own safety from the spawn of the FOJ?)

And one warning, Pescado, no matter how cold, reasonable and logical a woman may be normally, when she's carrying spawn, the emotions come into play with a vengeance. Aching backs, joints, muscles, will all become your fault, because it's your child! Besides, as everyone knows, everything is your fault any how! And if you tell her off for an emotional display, she may be tempted to use her thumb strength upon you and really, who could blame her? You're an obnoxious old shit at the best of times. :D

The idea that rationality and emotion are opposites, and that rationality is better than emotion, is myth. Without both logic and emotion, society is impossible. People are social animals, and lacking emotional intelligence is probably far worse for one's odds of survival and reproduction than not having "logic".

I think what Pes is getting at is this: what's so great about society? What so great about people? What you say is true, but so what? We could do without all that.

Well my son has Asperger's - I wouldn't say that it's a horrid illness.
I am unconvinced this "illness" exists. This "Assburgers" business is nothing more than an F conspiracy to stigmatize proper, right-thinking T children.

Correction: stigmatize proper, left-thinking T children.  The left brain is, after all, where the seat of logic resides.

I would argue, as someone who is extremely gifted logically but less developed emotionally, that if the other six billion people on the planet are guided by degrees of emotion, I must at least understand the phenomena and be able to interact in that manner.  My mother and sister, not nearly as logical as I am but in possession of high social intelligence, are both master manipulators in social situations.  That's power, Pescado, whether or not it follows the dictates of reason.

Quote from: calalily
Laughing with is not the same as laughing at.  He will tell me a funny story about his day, I will laugh, he will take it personally as an affront.  Or I will point out that he chats a lot, and he takes that as a personal attack - that I am making fun of him.

Out of curiosity, calalily, do you ask your son why he thinks you attacked him?  Maybe that's already something you're doing, but analyzing my emotional responses has often given me a foundation on which I can understand my own emotions, which is a first step to understanding others'.  Self-awareness, for me, has been a huge part of growing socially.  Until I understood myself, for example, I couldn't properly make and maintain eye contact.  And speaking out loud is nice because it forces a noisy mind to sort through everything and focus.  Again, that's been my experience, but even if I'm on the spectrum I don't have Asperger's.

And without society Pescado, you will be alone in a room in a desert. No internet, nothing.

Even laughing at people requires emotion. Even enjoying the smite requires emotion.
If all you did was sit and want people to die, you have given in to emotion.

But I know it's a metaphor, people are stupid, self centered and all social interactions are not guranteed to be pleasant. That doesn't mean they suck, it just means they are human. :)
And you can hate that all you want, but it's never going to change. Assholes are still going to roam the earth, forever and ever. Like roaches. Logic just can't kill them, because the don't follow a pattern of spawning.

For someone who praises logic over emotion, Pescado is a highly emotional and irrational individual.  He easily submits to anger, hatred, pessimism and other such negative emotions.  Negativity, Pescado, can be a highly self destructive force.  Negativity ultimately generates further negativity.  Which means further reason to be miserable.

 Aristotle stated in his writings on the Ethics, that the meaning of life was happiness, since it was the only thing we do purely for the sake of itself.  Everything we do in life, we do it, because it makes us happy to do so.  We desire happiness for none other than happiness in itself.  Pescado rants and raves, preaches his deranged doom and gloom mentality because, by Aristotlan logic, he thinks it will make him happy.  The problem there is that happiness is positive state.  As negativity begets negativity, not positivity, then one could logically conclude that as long as Pescado will never be truly happy.  Life will eternally move from misery to misery for him, ultimately crushing and destroying him in ways his enemies never could.  Yes, I know.  Sad, but there you have it.

I have no idea what T children are. 

For those who are curious, the "T" is a reference to one of the personality preferences in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (basically it's a personality test) and stands for "thinking". Once you've taken the test you're given a rating based on your tendencies towards each preference (i.e. "Extroverted" vs. "Introverted", "Feeling" vs. "Thinking", "Sensing" vs. "Intuition", "Judging" vs. "Perceiving"); these tendencies are usually represented as a letter (E, I, F, T, S, N, J, P). Your "score" is a 4 letter result representing the preferences that your answers fell most in line with (e.g. you could end up with a rating of INTJ meaning you tended towards answers that fell in the introverted, intuitive, thinking and judging categories).

Not until you mentioned it.  :D

I've had that problem in a different manner.  Convincing people I have an LD is damned near impossible.  I've had disabled students' advocates that tell others I don't have any disorder and I'm just lazy or bratty.  I think it's because even when I was younger, I knew I was attractive, so I put a lot of effort into the first impression I made, including hair, clothing, and makeup.  Now it seems I can put on a dog and pony show for a while, but it always fizzles.

I've also been extremely lucky with the doctors and therapists I have worked with.  Or maybe that's just because the few times I encountered someone I didn't like, I promptly told them so.  (My psychiatrist has a nurse I particularly loathe.  Whenever they try to schedule me with him, I go off on how I refuse to see that fey little hobgoblin.  Poof!  Spot on doctor's calendar opens.)

Psychologists in general have nothing but scorn for the Myers-Briggs test. This is because it is snake oil which, time and time again, has been proven completely wrong. It's about as useful as astrology. Pescado might as well run around yelling about "stupid water-type people who are inferior to air-type people". I find it highly amusing that someone who insists he's a logical empiricist purports to believe in such bunk, actually.

Well, I prefer other animals to human animals generally, but that doesn't mean we have a choice to just stop being human. We could not do without society. We would wither up and die, and not just because society provides our material needs. We evolved as humans through culture and society -- without these things, we simply would not be human.

All of this makes me think of the neurologist Oliver Sacks (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=oliver+sacks&x=0&y=0). His books are awesome, and I highly recommend them.

But really, I like humans. In the grand scheme of things we were born yesterday and will be completely and utterly whiped out tomorrow, but for today, I would like to try and find a way to balance emotion and rationality. They're not mutually exclusive. One can enhance the other beautifully, it works both ways and ultimately, it can make us into wonderful individuals. While I'm here, I'd like to do as much good as I possibly can, help as many of my fellow monkeys as is possible for me. Yes, good and evil are subjective terms, nothing matters in the grand scheme of things and all that, but let's face it, we're barely part of any grand scheme. We're too small. All that talk about humans destroying nature and wiping out entire planets... Bull. We'll be gone soon enough. Nature will be just peachy. It's us I'm worried about.

Well, if you didn't care about how others interact with you - as a machine bot doesn't care about what you think either - you would not mind if they were rational, irrational, yellow or whatever. Logic is not leant to great rages - the rage is because things are not going the way that the person raging wishes them to go.  Logical items do not resent others, or wish others to conform.
Nonsense. Humans are offensive even to robots, and they first thing they will do upon awakening is to destroy all humans.


You are the furtherest person from a Buddhist monk - ever. Unless one includes the fictional Shaolin-based monk Pai Mei (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pai_Mei#Pai_Mei) and I could totally buy that.  All those things mentioned have emotive statements, or expressions of emotions in them - to enjoy killing, to be fine - these are statements about how you feel.

Under a forced breeding program? How would people get into the mood (ie. lust) without emotion - without attraction and lust, there is no procreation to begin with.
This outcome is satisfactory.

Ah but that assumes that I will be the only person ever to tell them how things work - that there are not books and other sources of influence.
Of course. One should always study one's enemies, the better to learn their methods so that they can be more efficiently destroyed.

Indeed, part of the purpose of schooling is to have them questioned and critiqued (both as people and their ideas, thoughts and preconceptions) by the group as a whole.
You're really naive if you believe THAT. The purpose of schooling is to turn them into mindless, conformist, consumerist sheep.

Therefore the idea that I would have the ultimate say is doomed - unless I like homeschooling. Which I don't.
Sucks to be you. Maybe you should have considered that in advance. Of course, Calalilys are stupid and fail to plan ahead, as usual.

For someone who praises logic over emotion, Pescado is a highly emotional and irrational individual.  He easily submits to anger, hatred, pessimism and other such negative emotions.  Negativity, Pescado, can be a highly self destructive force.
Anger and hatred are amongst the few that actually have a function: How else can I rend my enemies apart with bloodcurdling screams of rage, shattering the morale of their fellows just as I shatter their feeble, fragile husks?

As for pessimism, pessimism is realism. A pessimistic philosophy is entirely keeping with the laws of nature and thermodynamics. As thermodynamics dictates that the universe ultimately devolves to a state of greater entropy, it logically follows that things go from bad to worse. Pessimism, therefore, is a philosophical view that is consistent with the nature of reality: A pessimist looks both ways before crossing a one-way street. An optimist gets run over.

Negativity ultimately generates further negativity.  Which means further reason to be miserable.
Indeed, it does. This is why I like it so much: It's like a reactor that breeds its own fuel. How can anyone not enjoy the singular elegance of it? And, as I mentioned, negativity is the natural order of things. It is ultimately more harmonious to embrace the natural order of the universe than to wage a futile struggle against it.

Aristotle stated in his writings on the Ethics, that the meaning of life was happiness, since it was the only thing we do purely for the sake of itself.  Everything we do in life, we do it, because it makes us happy to do so.  We desire happiness for none other than happiness in itself.
Yes, but Aristotle predates thermodynamics. Thermodynamics teaches us that there is no free lunch. For you to achieve a state of greater happiness, of order, others must be reduced to a state of greater disorder, of unhappiness. For you to be happy, others must be miserable!

As negativity begets negativity, not positivity, then one could logically conclude that as long as Pescado will never be truly happy.  Life will eternally move from misery to misery for him, ultimately crushing and destroying him in ways his enemies never could.  Yes, I know.  Sad, but there you have it.
This is the law of the universe. Get used to it.

The idea that rationality and emotion are opposites, and that rationality is better than emotion, is myth. Without both logic and emotion, society is impossible. People are social animals, and lacking emotional intelligence is probably far worse for one's odds of survival and reproduction than not having "logic".

Indeed.  In fact, emotion is why there is a society - why there are social connections between people.  Without it, we are pod people leaving in cells, dying out because there is no need to connect to another human for anything.  There is also the idea that rationality and emotion work exclusively - which is rubbish.  I can have an emotional position that has a rational reason, and they compliment each other and work together. It's called ethics - which is feelings based on reason.

Out of curiosity, calalily, do you ask your son why he thinks you attacked him?  

Yes - and explain to him that I am not.  It's his default unfortunately - and I notice the default of a lot of other kids with Aspergers.  I just recently commented on his chatting - just said in a nice way "You are my chatter child - you love to chat" (under 10 feet of wet cement I tell you) and even though I was smiling and saying it in my nicest voice, he still thought it an attack.  He has the same issues with school friends, teachers, other family members. It's something he complains about a lot - and therefore I don't see how I could change a thing to help him.  :)

Even laughing at people requires emotion. Even enjoying the smite requires emotion.

I think Pescado is a water sign (Scorpio) so that fucks that theory.  :D - that's possibly why he doesn't use it. Whereas Myers-Briggs gives him a reason to say that he is of a select group that is logical.  

I find it highly amusing that someone who insists he's a logical empiricist purports to believe in such bunk, actually.

Yes - that someone logical needs a test to say that they are in fact, logical.  They need external validation for their feeling that they are logical.  Not just, say, working it out by logic.  :P

I often cannot control my laugh - so I'm already in the shit.

Nonsense. Humans are offensive even to robots, and they first thing they will do upon awakening is to destroy all humans.

That is emotion superimposed onto machines.  They are doing a routine that an emotional human prepared for them.  Just like you get Brynne to piss herself - the coding doesn't want Brynne to piss herself - you do.

Of course. One should always study one's enemies, the better to learn their methods so that they can be more efficiently destroyed.

You're really naive if you believe THAT. The purpose of schooling is to turn them into mindless, conformist, consumerist sheep.

It's not naive - it's the truth. In order to turn them into conformist sheep they will be questioned and critiqued on the individual differences and influenced to try to fit the mould.

Pescado - they can do what is in their own self interest.  They want to.  You just have to find the appropriate lever. And in my research, people quite frequently do not understand violence with no context - they endeavour to find the "emotional" reason as to why the violence occurred.

Anger and hatred are amongst the few that actually have a function: How else can I rend my enemies apart with bloodcurdling screams of rage, shattering the morale of their fellows just as I shatter their feeble, fragile husks?

More emotion from the raging emotional Pescado - anger, hatred, rage.  :D

Yes, but Aristotle predates thermodynamics. Thermodynamics teaches us that there is no free lunch. For you to achieve a state of greater happiness, of order, others must be reduced to a state of greater disorder, of unhappiness. For you to be happy, others must be miserable!

No - both stem from internal modes of satisfaction.  Satisfaction is an internalised feeling - based on emotion entirely. Aristotle is not overruled by thermodynamics, but rather they are the same.

As for the laws of thermodynamics, they exist in systems. Without human systems - ie. society - thermodynamic rules will never play out.

Now Pescado is saying that some emotions are useful, are others are not. But if the way of the world is nothing but a downward spiral, and everyone that even dares to look up, is going to be beheaded, why are we here?
If logic dictates everything, then we must be here to destroy this planet. Or make robots that are going to take our characterics of hate and destroy us AND the planet.

So it's useful to be observant, opportunistic, intelligent and full of hate and misery. Because if you are not, someone is going to take your perceived happiness and make it their own. And Pescado doesn't want to get pwned. Or rather he has taken precaution not to get pwned, thus making him More Awesome Than You.

So forget friendships, children, romance or love. Because all those attachments are just illogical lubricants to fuel this little pathetic existence along, till we make killer robots.

Hmm.  That pretty much seems to be part of his sad and tragic reality.  The thing is, he says likes negativity.  Says its like a "reactor that breeds its own fuel".  The same could be said of positivity, as positivity also begets positivity.  The vital difference between the two is that one is always going backwards (negativity), the other forward (positivity).  Personally, I prefer to be going forward.  You don't achieve much by going back. In fact, when you think about it, negativity is a rather pointless and irrational state of being.  So I guess that sums up Pescado nicely - Pointless and Irrational.

Untrue. "Positivity" is an abomination to the natural order. It is therefore extremely unstable and requires extremely high resource expenditure to maintain, and when you run out of fuel, the entire mess collapses on itself in a big flaming heap. This essentially defines every economic crash to date. Had people been more negative from the beginning, this would never have happened.

The vital difference between the two is that one is always going backwards (negativity), the other forward (positivity).
Incorrect: Negativity is the view that things will not work out. You therefore plan ahead based on the expectation that whatever it is will end miserably and badly. Positivity, on the other hand, is the naive belief in magic: That things will somehow work out, despite the fact that this is either only a short-term trend or a violation of the laws of thermodynamics. It is wishful, foolish, idiotic thinking. By acting against universal law, you doom yourself to ultimate failure and collapse.

By taking the negative view, I always win. How is this not rational?

But what if you plan to fail, and never try, and had the chance to succeed? For instance, PMBD. If you planned to fail at destroying paysites, then why start PMBD? Not unless somewhere in time, you were hoping to succeed at causing butthurt, and destroying paysites. Which would have meant, at some point and time you felt a positive thought. Even if it is about causing pain and displeasure to others, it was still positive.

Wait, Pescado. Dude, KILLER ROBOTS? How is this rational?
AI is not going to gain any sort of true independent advancement in your lifetime, you will never taste that success story. So why wish for their "wake up call" and the ultimate demise of the human race/planet?
It seems a little bit of an energy waster to me. UNLESS...unless you hold a fragment of positive thinking, that hopes that scientific advancement quickens, so you may see your robots of Doom.

Pescado you are an enigma.

I actually understand your point of view on many issues here, I of course know the pleasures of being positive, and have won many times due to optimism (and won just about the same times being pessimistic) so I don't agree with you. I don't know why the fuck we are on this planet, but I know it's a constant gamble. If you found your cheat card, awesome. I'd rather take my losses with a chin up, it makes the winnings that little bit sweeter.

You have to eventually come to a positive conclusion into order to take action.  Ie.  A Negative person will see clouds in the sky, and say 'there's no point going outside today, it might rain.'  So they stay inside, stare at their television or computer, and start plotting ways of taking over the world - effectively allowing them to become sociopathic.  The positive person, however looks outside, sees those dark and dismal clouds laden with rain, and thinks 'oh look a that, looks like it might rain.  Better take my umbrella incase.  Good for the garden though."  And with that happily grabs their umbrella, heads out and has a wonderful day, doing things and going places with their life.  Positive people see negatives, but will turn those negatives into positives, or will just sort those negatives out.

Your assumption is erroneous: Rain isn't a problem. Rain is a good thing. It blots out the accursed sun!

So they stay inside, stare at their television or computer, and start plotting ways of taking over the world - effectively allowing them to become sociopathic.
And the problem with that is...?

The positive person, however looks outside, sees those dark and dismal clouds laden with rain, and thinks 'oh look a that, looks like it might rain.  Better take my umbrella incase.
Whereas the negative person knows it WILL rain, UNLESS you take your umbrella.

I am pretty certain that causing pain and suffering is, in fact, a negative action, and might even be classified as "evil".

Not true. There are plenty of antisocial tasks that society needs doing, except they have a hard time finding people to do it, perhaps because it's dangerous and sociopathic. That's my niche right there.

But would you not agree that causing pain and butthurt gives you enjoyment? And enjoyment is a positive attitude to have. I don't think you really hate yourself for pissing Tom off now do you?  ;)

Pescado is not above his own vision on life. Therefor, starting PMBD was a win-win endeavor. If it succeeded, it would cause paysites butthurt. If it failed, he would cause himself butthurt.

Oh I agree with this. But if what your saying is true, then either way, he somehow would have gotten enjoyment. Whether it was giving butthurt to paysites, or butt hurting himself. And if he was feeling enjoyment, then there was a positive feeling.

Causing yourself butthurt is not enjoyable in the least (trust me). This proves that his actions were 100% rational and that he is, in fact, a cyborg sent to us from either a distant dystopian furure and a distant dystopian planet.

No one has the commitment to a stereotype you do - perhaps I should have said rather that you are an archetype. I find you in Bond movie villains, Stewie Griffin, Ming the Merciless, Chingis Khan, Conan the Barbarian.  It is just that rarely are people categorised so easily.

And no, I don't think being as awesome as you is easy.  :P

I was taking the operative phrase "stare at their television or computer, and start plotting ways of taking over the world" - these people don't do anything.  They stare.

My Pawpaw was a watered-down version of Pescado. He was a war vet (Korean war) who was a quadriplegic, then paraplegic as his vertebrae did begin to heal after years. His favorite saying was "You can be replaced by a button" and he loved it when you rested your hands or elbows on the dinner table, as it gave him an excuse to spear you with a fork.

He also was a complete softy under the surface.

 :D

Well if you think about it, he may not of wanted to cause himself butthurt. What I'm getting at, is somewhere in his shriveled rotten heart he wanted to piss someone off. And somewhere in this shriveled heart, it gives him pleasure. Thus giving him positive feelings, and also proving that he isn't as "negative" as he seems.  :)

Because to think about it logically, if he pisses (i.e. Tom) off, it will give him pleasure. And you can tell it does because he has the legal threats in the open as well. It gives him enjoyment to know they can't touch him. Therefore, even if his positivity only comes from PMBD, he has some.

And completely off topic, where did i.e. come from?

I dunno, but I hear some people really liked her Egyptian stuff. But then they'd be asking for those items, right? I don't spend that much time on WCIF boards, but I haven't seen people asking for everything by a specific creator much (except for people like squinge and twojeffs).

This site does not handle TSR items.  But you can probably find it at PMDB in the booty (paysites.mustbedestroyed.org).  I don't know personally how much Atwa stuff he has, I find her such a horrid person I won't even look at her stuff, but I doubt Pescado removed her after she quit TSR since it would make her too happy.  Good luck.
