Complaining = Whining

Postby wacicha on Sun Sep 02, 2007 1:06 pm

We can all find something to complain about. lol, and it seems we do!! Instead find ways around your gripes.

I have been told that some players do not like the low rank. Some players have put you on their ignore list.

Do you know that People have told me That I play the low ranks just to steal their points.

You can not have it both ways, so most of the time People join my games, I rarely join their's. I do not want anyone thinking I take advantage of any one.

Most of negative feedback that I read including the one I have came from newer players not the old veterans on site. And no one likes negative feedback.

Can anyone say that the have not given NEGATIVE feedback to anyone?

Can anyone say they have not put anyone on their ignore list?

I can say That I Have Not Done either

If you have time to complain then you are not in enough games. Why are you not in enough games.

hey wacicha, arent you technically complaing about people complaining :) All joking aside, agreed, there is to much complaing on this site, it is a private buisness, and lack cannot please everyone at the same time.

Since we are talking about complaining, Im going to try to get some more mileage out of this one... it isnt directed at anyone here, especially not wachica.

AAFitz wrote:You complain about complainers more than any complainers complain, which makes you a complainer about complainers, and subsequently me a complainer, who complains about a complainer who complains about complainers. Now many would complain that I use the word complain too much, but that makes them the lowest kind of complainer. The complainer of complainers about complainers about complainers, who use the word complain too much. If you feel compelled to complain about such a thing, many will have complaints about it.


As far as noobs giving a player like wachica negative feedback its a joke. Unlike him, I have a lenghty ignore list, and the majority of it is made up of noobs who leave people like wachica negative feedback.

When I see a feedback like that, i think oh poor jack played a jerk...and click ignore...so be careful who you give them too...youre not getting the response you think youre getting.

The one I have now is a great example. I could never let as many people know what kind of player that guy is until he left that feedback. Now every game I play in, they can see him, and click ignore, if they arent interested in playing that kind of player. He thinks I care about the little one next to my name, when in fact I almost always have a one there. It just changes from time to time as those who left them realize its them that look bad, and not me.

The only reason to leave negative feedback should be to warn other players of extremely bad behavior...abusive, cheating etc. As a personal vendetta, for anything else, the leaver will look like the bad guy every time.

Jumping on the "are you complaining about complaining" bandwagon :lol:

But seriously, I agree with you wacicha, there are too many people on this site who waste their time worrying about what other people do instead of enjoying this great game...

Everyone should spend less time worrying about what other people do and more time trying to get the most out of life (and Conquer Club)!

And yes I am aware that any post on this subject is necessarily ironic :P

What the experts say about coping with a chronic complainer:

There's no precise, clinical definition of a chronic complainer. But as anyone who's had the misfortune of spending even a few hours with one of these people can tell you, they're united by at least one common trait: the belief that they've been hard done by and a firm faith in their right to let everyone they come in contact with know just how poorly the world has treated them.

Contrary to what is probably your most immediate inclination, it's best not to let the chronic complainer know exactly how much you dislike their incessant whining. And considering the personality profile of the average complainer, this isn't quite as easy as it sounds.

According to mental health and behavioral experts, the chronic complainer shouldn't be treated with malice (no matter how annoying they might become!). Above and beyond everything else, he/she wants to feel loved and to be accepted by those around them. In clinical terms, many chronic complainers can be described as 'socio-affective recognition addicts,' people who complain for the purpose drawing attention, feeling appreciated and being valued.

LOL... okay, here you go...

Chronic Asshole Disease:

Long term and frequently recurring, chronic asshole disease is either always present or comes back again and again as evidenced by a concern only with them self and their advantage to the exclusion of others; especially one who is held to be mean or disagreeable.

This definition is making me uncomfortable...could you narrow the definition, just a bit. In its current state, I have an odd sense as I read it that I cant quite put my finger on, but I know I dont like it.

there are so many places to go with this:

ASSCAD [A**holes Suffering Severe Cronic A**hole Disease] meetings have been popular since the 80's, when the rise of cocaine and highly inflated stock market, and an absolute need for ostentatious displays of wealth, caused the instances of CAD to spiral exponentially.

Nowhere in society was this more prevalent in the legal firms and departments across the US where, sufferers from CAD were actually rewarded substantially for actually letting their symptoms run free and unchecked.

The final and most severe forms of CAD, and ASSCADs are found in the political system. These are a special case, however. Whereas the first two groups are rewarded for outwardly displaying their symptoms, this group is in a unique setting where, though they are indeed ASSCADs, they must appear to be anti-ASSCADs, and always be smiling and positive as they make deals to cheat the same people they smile at, thereby making them the biggest form of ASSCAD.

Luckilly, the early nineties brought on a new era, with a recession, and unfortunate war, that made being an outward ASSCAD, far less fashionable. The meetings were made more secret, and even for a while tried to find ways to cure some of the symptoms, but it has been a long road.

Unfortunately, one of the early treatments for CAD was suggesting alcohol. The reasoning was logical enough. Alcohol can relax certain people, make them more outgoing and laid back for a time. However, with ASSCADS, the effect was disastrous. Unable to control their symptoms of CAD once the alcohol broke down their inhibitors in the brain's chemical process, their symptoms multiplied two or three fold. The more alcohol, and the more severe the symptoms going in, the more severe the outbreak after the ingestion of alcohol. Often the outburst was severe enough to be broadcast on local and national news media, depending upon who the ASSCAD was, and what was done or spoken.

There will always be CAD, it can strike without warning, even the most reasonable persons, under certain conditions. If you find yourself starting to develop some of these symptoms, relax, take a deep breath, and think of your happy place. This will sometimes completely stop the symptoms in their tracks. In no instance should you self medicate with alcohol, and in extreme examples, you should immediately call 555.ASS.CADS. They will talk you through your episode.

For the rest of us. Remember, ASSCADS are people too, they just happen to be a**holes.

disclaimer. No offense to stockbrokers, coke addicts, lawyers, wealthy people, politicians, or any combination of said groups. This parody was intended only for entertainment value, and no such group or help number exists. Do not under any circumstances follow the suggestions for the made up CAD, or ASSCAD. If you encounter a person who you feel fits this description, do not try to intervene. Just smile, and ignore everything they say and do, and thank god you are not one of them. If you find yourself wanting to torment and ASSCAD, you may find yourself calling that number yourself sometime soon.

AAfitz... I tried to get a picture of an ASSCAD [A**holes Suffering Severe Cronic A**hole Disease] meeting, but the A**holes wouldn't let me in... I suppose that's a good thing... Anyway, I did manage to get a picture from outside a closed door meeting...
