I was playing Pirates against a friend (bad mistake) and while we were playing, I got stuck. My friend shot the person on my team, so it was me against a friend. I was stuck, and I said just shoot me. When she came close to me, I shot to see if I could hit her once. (She was going to shoot me anyways, so I thought I might as well get more points so when she shoots me, she will end up with more points.) Well, my shot killed her. After we got out of the game, she said all sorts of things like "Cheap! You cheat! Rude little thing!" I said I was sorry, but obviously that wasn't enough. I didn't want to fight and make things worse, so I left. Then I noticed she deleted me. She is a highly respected person, and a lot of people like her. I just want to say I have lost my respect for her as a friend. Not as a person, but as a friend.

She knows lots of people, and I am friends with people that she knows. She has a way of making people turn against someone, so I'm afraid I will lose some friends. :(

*Mods, please move if this is in the wrong place.

No you did nothing wrong, you tried to play fairly instead of just loosing with no effort on your part.
Id say the person was wrong for deleting you and they are a bad sport/friend.

It's a game and with all due respect, she will get over it.
So, i'm not the best at pirates; and if i'm lucky, people can let me get unstuck then we battle.
But there's nothing to worry :)

Ok, thanks. I mean, it's a game. The object is to shoot people and win. Obviously our friendship wasn't good enough, or it wouldn't have crumbled because of a pirate game. I don't know if she will get over it, because I know there are people she doesn't like and she doesn't get over it.

Sunny honestly, it seems that this person has a short temper. This person was dumb enough to get mad because of credits? You can look at it this way: its better now that your not friends, instead of having to deal with it later

Yeah, but the problem is I will see her a lot in different rooms. And I don't want to have to avoid her everywhere I go. Really, it could happen to anyone. You just have to wait for the right (in this case wrong) moment, and you can lose a friend.

I would think that saying "Just shoot me" would mean that you won't try to kill her ship when she approached you. She might have seen you as a person who tried to use "cheap" (I use that term lightly - I find that there is no real cheating or cheap in pirates) tactics to try to win and get more credits, regardless of your friendship with her.

However, you didn't mean to do it and there was no good reason for her to act like you have stated in your post. I see why she might not like it, but to take something out on someone due to a mistake or accident in which they apologized after the fact, isn't the best in character in my eyes.

I, too have had some friends who I thought realized that it was just a game among friends, yell at me and delete me off their list because of me either winning the game against them or losing the game with them on my team.

Pirates brings out the best and worst in a person - some as more competitive players and also those who just play for fun. One thing still remains the same in every game:
You show some of your character as you play the game, but you show all of it when you lose.

I guess this isn't about me, because you said a she?
When the other person is stuck, let them get out, or NEVER play your friends again.

Wow, she deleted you because you won?!?

But omg! She doesnt sound that nice.. and you did not do anything wrong so dont worry about her. :princess:

I guess this isn't about me, because you said a she?

No this isn't about you. I did tell her sorry, I didn't intend for the shot to kill her. I was so surprised this was coming from her! She was also being very hypocritical, because she hates drama and tells people not to cause drama, or say anything to cause drama. Well, what she said caused a lot of it. She took it completely out of proportion. If that was me, I would have gotten over it. I won't let a mere 100 credits get in the way of my friendships.

Ok, glad it wasn't about me.
I'm sending you a PM about this, I know who it is im pretty sure.

aww i know i was just talking with my friend once then she deleted me and left :( :(

I also wanted to point out I was NOT planning to shoot her. It just kind of happened, like spur of the moment. What can I say, it's my instinct. :rolleyes:

That person doesn't sound very nice she took the pirates game to seriously if your friends delete you because of her they weren't real friends after all.

Well that person was wrong. Even if her friends delete you, you should be lad because they weren't real friends. Real friends will try to help and do the best for you no matter what. If you get a chance, try to tell the others what happened. But if you have to go out of your way or your going to start and full fledge war (sorry mods if i can't say that), just don't.



Hope I helped!

That is absolutely disgusting. Whoever it was that thought that a few points is worth more than friendship needs to seriously think about their priorities - Definitely not a true friend, forget about it Sunny, no friendship is really lost, she/he obviously wasn't a real friend.

I suppose if she'd shot you while you were stuck it'd have been ok though.

Sigh

People like that just spoil VMK

If it helps at all, just think of your friends who really appreciate you as a person, not a few points.
You're always welcome to play pirates with me - win or lose, even if you shoot me while I'm stuck i'll just laugh about it and move on. As should everybody.

If whoever it was that Sunny shot is reading this, you should be ashamed of yourself. Get your priorities straight.


ARG - Things like this anger me!

I just HOPE whoever it was is not currently on my friends list, if I knew who it was and they were I can assure you they'd be gone in a click of a finger.


Sorry hope I am not going too OTT :P

People like that never change. Even if they do happen to "forgive" you - I wouldn't give them the option of becoming a friend of yourself again.

Wow You Did Nothing Wrong If Someone Cares About Credits More Than Friendship Then They Are A Little Spoiled. They Had No Reason To Treat You Like That.

Well that person was wrong. Even if her friends delete you, you should be lad because they weren't real friends. Real friends will try to help and do the best for you no matter what.

You did help, and so has everyone else. I'm still shocked that this person did this. And I have told my friends, and told them what happened. I don't think I started a war, I even told that person that I didn't want to fight, but I think she ignored me.

I wouldn't sweat it, Sunny. If it wasn't this, it would have hapened at some point for some other reason!

I find it interesting that you say you have seen her do this with other people: she doesn't get over it so you have already seen before this happened that she is not very kind to others..:xmikec:

You will still be my friend and I know a lot of other people that think you are pretty nice, too! You are liked around here, ya know?

So you ain't gonna be lonely or be an outcast, OK?:xwink:

You didn't do anything wrong but it seems to me if she was a real friend she would have understood, me and my friends play pirates sometimes and i get stuck all but they understand and tease me about it sometimes.

Ok, I'm glad to hear I'm not an outcast lol. Yes, I have been around her when she was arguing with other people. I don't know the full story about those, but I have seen her argue with people.

And I did get a Pm from her, she said "This could have been resolved between the two of us instead of letting all of VMK know. She said I left out the part about me getting the "post service" and that she gave me a moment to get unstuck. Yes, she gave me a moment to get unstuck, and yes I said I was going to get the mail, but the mail was up the street, when I thought it was at our house. I don't really see how that makes a difference, as I was there the whole time and never left.

So, let me get this straight.

She got mad at you for shooting her in Pirates?

Honey, a person like that is not a friend. I get yelled at, reported, deleted every single day in Pirates - and I don't care. As Whipstersh stated, Pirates shows a peson's true colors. And this individual's weren't pretty. If I were you (You'd be pretty!) I would just move on and if anyone asks you what happened, just say "It's a personal matter, sorry". Who cares if she'll turn "people against you"? Chances are , if you have good friends, theywill delete her.

Peace,
the.

Honey? lol Thanks for the post. (And a good laugh :))

seriously, it seems like this person has to get over themselves. omg you skilled me in pirates when you said you were getting the mail im deleting you!

does that sound like a friend?

uhhh..

no.

Sunny, it sounds like you have plenty of great friends left!

When I play a game of pirates, it is just that. A game. I don't get mad because someone shoots me whether I am moving around or just plain stuck. I take if for what it is and I just have fun with it.

I sounds like this person has alot of growing up to do.
I wouldn't worry about her being mad at you. Sooner or later it will come back to bite her.

Just keep being who you are and you will have nothing to worry about! :xgrin:

Hear The Sledges With The Bells, Silver Bells...:xmas35:

You didn't do anything wrong Sunny. You just go on doing your thing =)

...What A World Of Merriment Their Melody Fortells. :xmas35:
