Magel0maniac Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Throughout my time of playing Runescape, I've been many places and done many thing. Every now and then a player will ask me to add them, and often due to a variety of reasons, I will say no. After saying that I seem to get persecuted for being a jerk or something of the like... So I guess my question is: Am I really that bad for not wanting a person on my friends list? Should I lie to them and say my list is full? Has anything similar happened to you? Don't hate the poster, hate the post Currently: Being Awesome.RSN: Magel0maniacPM me if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauke Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I do that all the time. It makes no sense that people will want to be friends after talking to them for like a minute.

nerdboyxxx Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Lying isn't that good. I'd tell the truth, just say that you don't want them on. If they can't accept that, then put them on ignore :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Topic merged with the preexisting one. Discussion was evident on the newer thread and the older one was on the fourth page. Adding the older thread may help the original poster gain insight to his or her question. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Kurity Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 To be honest, i add almost anyone. If they talk to me, i talk back, they probably wont get deleted when i go on the periodic friends list deleting sprees in which i delete everyone i don't really remember.

Me_Hate_Libs Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I have 4 people on my friends list and all of them I know in real life. I don't really add people as friends, but I leave my friends on for anyone whp wants to get a hold of me. This website and its contents are copyright © 1999 - 2010 Jagex Ltd.

Saskia Snow Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I have 3 friends on my list :D I don't add many people either, and after leaving for almost 2 years my list kinda got lost. If people ask to add me, I will add some people, but most of the time I lie about being full so I don't hurt their feelings Old 'Scaper - returned * Former TET Leader * Council of Elders Member * Confirmed Scaredy Cat * Mother of 6 * Quester * Friend to many Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstarmafia Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I only have like 10 people on my friends list and I know most of them in real life. Otherwise, if someone seems alright ill add them, if I don't talk to them much or they're annoying ill delete them later. Always a bummer when someone ends up being really really annoying and just constantly hitting you up for no reason or wanting something and being irritating. Get ratty.

mrph3r Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I have 115 people on my friends list - however, only 20 of them are ever online due to the fact that I quit for a year not very long ago (either they have also quit or they've deleted me). My criteria for adding people are mostly intelligence and discussion value added - if the person's a lvl33 with 247 total but they know what they're talking about, I'll add them. I have deleted people with nearly max total before, though, due to their unbearable ignorance.

Obtaurian Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I don't have that problem. I have about 15 people added and only one of them talks to me. Toast: go irc Me: game /end conversations.

Wouter828 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 I use the full list excuse a lot. Usually when I talk to the random dude who then asks to add eachother. I'd add you if I've talked to you more than 5 minutes and still like you. This way I don't hurt their fweeelingsss, awww Click here for my blog.

Zierro Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 It takes a special kind of person to be compatible enough with me to be friends, otherwise they just end up pissing me off. I hate when I tell someone a level of mine and they want to be friends. Why do you want to be my friend? I told you ONE thing. Besides my level and the fact that I play RS, you know NOTHING about me at this point. It's obvious that they just wanted a high level friend. The funny thing is, when I was like level 70 it was much easier to make RS friends, because people were friends with me because of my personality - not levels.

Zaaps1 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 If you really want to be bad, then you tell them you're adding them, pm them to prove it, then remove them, then turn your private to friends. But that's pretty mean. I usually do the same thing as you. ~It's Super Effective!

Cabbage_Boii Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I don't have the heart to say no. I usually end up adding them, then deleting them, and adding them to ignore when they log off. wtf that is cruel? I say no thanks. polite...who cares? I dont think it would make them feel sad if they got told no to an rs friend... :? Let your yellow mellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspeeder Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Usually I will add them, then promptly delete them, and add them again to say hello or respond whenever they pm me. If one of those responses turns into a good conversation then they will stay on my friend's list, but usually this is not the case. About half of my friends list is people that I know irl (Even if I don't talk to them much :roll: ), and the other half is people I met online who I talk to regularily and I like to see online. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22 99 Necromancy since 11/22/25 Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 33 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 10 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winner5555 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 well for one, my friends list usually is full, and when it isn't, i'll add "1" "2" "3" "4"..etc to make it full so i can tell the truth \ the only people i add nowadays are people who i run into pretty much every day doing the same stuff, or people who're friends with my friends. Mostly when I talk to people in game, we'll have like a 5 minute conversation, then i'll say i'm about to leave, and they'll ask to be friends. Normally, this wouldn't be so bad, but 90% of the time they start off with asking me a question about a skill. I don't know if it's just me being paranoid, but I reason that if i add them, that's how it'll be for the next month, with them just pestering me with questions 621st person to achieve 99 slayer on December 3rd, 2007177th person to 99 summoning on June 21st, 2008 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
