I was just curious how many peeps think the way i do in game.
i asses myself alot. here is how I break it down.
do i know at least 5 people in game, that would drop everything they were doing to come help me if i asked?
If I shout out that i'm headed somewhere and offer some group slots, do people jump at the chance to come?
when I log in, do i get three or more tells with a howdy or where ya been slacker?
these 3 things tell me weather i've been a good friend, a helpfull ally, trustworthy, to take care of my group/raid/family or if i haven't. if i ask for help and no one offers, maybe i've been selfish of late and not helped anyone else. if i offer group slots and peeps would rather sit in POK or the lobby than join me, maybe i haven't been playing my class well, and keeping my groups alive and having fun. if i don't get a tell or three when i log in and there are lots of folks on well, i've been a crappy friend, moody or nasty or something along those lines.
one other thing i use to asses myself that you may find strange, is in guild chat and group chat, do people pick on me openly? does the whole guild and or group laugh along and add to the fray? If so, then i've been easy going, easy to get along with, have a good sense of humor and peeps know i love a good rub as much as the next toon. people like ya if they make fun of you openly.
no point to this post other than i was bored and thinking about it, then started thinking about me EQ friends. it's been a lot of years and there a few of you precious to me. strange how that works out, and i won't name names cause it hurts feelings that aren't on the list, but those of you know i'm talking about you. I'd come running across the country in real life if you ever needed me. thanks for picking on me in /gu chat. /bow

guess i never thought if it that way, but now that ya mention it i do sit in gu lbby afk alot lately incase theres any doubt lately for me its a matter of rl getting more busy with the end of the school year and all the activities for the kids. i know ya were not nameing me personally but reading your post made me do a lil personal reflection myself and find im guilty of passing on grps because of one thing or another and id hate for you to think its anything you do or dont do in a grp cause i luv pickin on ur skirt eeeeer kilt /Hugzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz puuuuurone

lol, no i wasn't thinking in particular of anyone passing on groups n such. i know peeps are busy, or sometimes already in a great group, or making potions or whatever. no finger pointing at all. just some thoughts i had on how to know if i'm a good peep or not.

OK, OK, I get the point.....and I was wondering why when I say hi in keeperstalk no one ever says hi back for like 20 mins.... /sniffs self to check if overly stinky
Gee if you had a beef with me bro, PM me....dont go to the boards and start bashing on me....JK....LOL
Seriously, those are awsome ways to do a self check. I often wonder some of those very questions. Because of my play times, I end up soloing quite a bit and miss out on the group fun, but when I do get a group I try to make as many friends as I can, just in case they actually play at the same time i do regularly so i can get groups. I have met a few people outside of the guilds lately that i enjoy grouping with and have seen online recently so have been getting groups more often. I do miss my old friends too, so I will make sure that if time permits and someone yells, I will come running as fast as Run5 will take me....Mondays are afk off and on days though, Tuesdays are ok, but wed-fri are mostly free time so yell early and i am there!

I know you wanted my name on the list cause I am great like that muhahaha oh yeah and cause you have to help real life bro. Brainz I really think you just fake LD all the time in WOS cause you are embarassed and dont want us to meet any of your OGRE family in there or your scared one of the two. I am convinced of it and you will not change my mind otherwise. Har Har. I have not had a real problem with anyone not wanting to group. My main reason for playing this game is to group with interesting and fun people and I honestly think I have found a place that shows me the best potential for meeting my eq needs. Ok I know it is cause you only want slows and really has nothing to with me but I am okay with that. Just dont tell me that so I can go on believing I am the greatest shammy that EQ has ever known.

LOL...send me a yell Tobus...anytime you see me on, and maybe you can bring your brother too, depending on if he has his kilt on straight that day!
