Myself and another player were asking eachother our fishing levels and having a nice friendly discussion. Suddenly one player who had been there the entire time in silence, bursts out "Shut Up! Some of us like to fish in peace!"

 

 

 

We suggested he turn off his public chat if he is so disturbed by our discussions, he declined that proposition.

 

 

 

Myself and the other player continued to talk and the player continued to complain.

 

 

 

What i would like to know is possible reasons why typing in the game would upset someone who's sitting there in silence. usually someone who doesn't speak is either AFK or watching television or what ever and wouldn't be fussed with what the other players are up to.

 

 

 

Any ideas why it upset him like so?

He's stupid?

He's stupid?

 

 

 

That was my first conclusion.

Hormones :XD:

I thought females are subjected to hormonal mood swings, not males.

I'd go with attention-seekers for this one :|

Ummm go back to science class, both do. Just -tends- to affect females more. But both are affected, and everybody to a different degree.

 

 

 

Anyway, i imagine he's just a git. They exist.

..Men

 

 

 

But yeah, the kid's an idiot. People like him are the reason that ignore lists are invented :thumbsup:

 

 

 

Plug :

I find it quite hypocritical that you said he should have turned his public chat off(Or added you to ignore) when you could have done the same.

 

 

 

*PREPARES FOR FLAMEZORZ*

probably he hates talking to people and has no social life? even on the internet

Why would he turn his chat off if he is talking to his friend?

 

 

 

And I got something like this in Falador when smelting. Somebody told me to quit bragging when I was just talking to a friend.

Maybe HE was a girl :ohnoes: . Maybe he's gender confused :ohnoes: :ohnoes: . Maybe hes just anal :uhh: :ohnoes: .

 

 

 

But I think hes just a moron who couldn't understand the concept of turning public chat off (unless one or both of you are pmods, which cant be ignored by something like that) =D> . I'd call it a tempertantrum.

He had a bad day, and he was really edgy probably

He was playing interesting and he turned out being a jerk.

*cough*Friends*cough*

 

 

 

Is this really something to rant about?

 

 

 

So you got told to shut up, big deal. Weak rant imo.

that guy was a jerk but you could have used one of your clan chats, all you have to do is type / which isnt much harder

Just throw him on your ignore list.

Some people are just jerks.

 

 

 

No point physco-analysing him on such little evidence and there would be no benefit to it anyway. Just move on.

maybe he connects fishing 2 real life, people don't talk a lot while they fish sooooo yeah

he just prolly want someone to talk to? idk maybe all his buddies was offline and needed to say something to anyone who will listen? lol

The guys was probably having a bad day and could no longer stand your noobish conversation. He found your conversation very irritating.

Thus the Ignore list, setting chat filter to Off or Friends, etc. There are better ways to deal with the situation than the one the annoyed player chose, if they were mature enough. Apparently, that wasn't the case.

Im gonna go with he had a bad day and is p.o with your convo.

 

Either that or maybe he's trying to make a "perfect" vid lol

 

 

 

I had a similar experience when fishing at catherby

 

One guy said :"Can you all be quiet, I'm trying to be lazy"

I rarely speak, and I'm not AFKing or rarely watching TV, I usually just listen to music.

 

 

 

But I've often wanted to tell people to shut up.

 

 

 

Some of the rubbish people talk about is just annoying.

 

 

 

I can thiink of plenty of conversations I wouldnt want to hear.

 

 

 

if I'm having a conversation with a friend, even if they are right next to me, I would more often than not PM them.

 

 

 

A: because my conversations are nothing to do with whoever else is standing there

 

B: because, I dont want to hear your conversation with a friend, I wouldnt be rude enough to stand on the same square as you and tell my friend what kind of day I'd had at work or what I did today etc.. etc..

 

 

 

If a conversation is open to everyone to join in, which from what you have said, this sounds like it was, then he had absolutely no reason to ask you to shut up.

 

 

 

But if you're having a conversation that someone was to join in and not be welcome, ie: talking about life / work / school / what your plans are tomorrow / how pretty your gf is / how your mom annoys you.. keep it to PM.

 

 

 

Other circumstances I can think of:

 

 

 

People asking eachother every level they have- look at h/s

 

People boasting to eachother about their mains

 

People standing for ages talking about how bad their life/day/being hacked/ friends stealing stuff they lent them etc.. etc..

 

 

 

 

 

I'm not saying you were doing any of these things, but a "nice friendly conversation" might not be everybody elses nice conversation.

 

 

 

To me a conversation between friends is just that, keep it between friends, use the PM function, I dont want to hear it. But I wouldnt be so rude in most cases to ask or tell people to shut up.

 

 

 

He probably had no reason whatsoever to ask you to shut up from what you've said it just sounds like some random idiot. but RS is full of idiots. Personally if I find peoples convs annoying they go on iggy for a while.

Wow, i get told to "STFU NOOB" all the time, but I just laugh because im not pathetic enough to take offence from it.
