I created a game "1minormana4Jah" as a joke and ended up with 3 morons
coming in and offering me a minor mana 4 my Jah . Now my question
seems  to be even sadder to me because not only did these fool take
the game name as real but they got it a.s backwards . So are the new
players coming into the game just stooipd or they havent reach 6th
grade english classes yet . Mrs Simms always tought us  " What u want
4 What u need?     What do you guys think

What exactly did you expect to happen?

I expected people to get the joke. Offering a minor mana  4 a Jah . I
didn't expect anyone to even join but to have them not only join but
get it wrong . popping in and messaging me that they have a minor mana
4 my Jah If you can't understand the problem with that then you must
be on the stooiped list also.

Seriously? The denizens of Bnet have never been that bright. Were you stoned
at the time?

> Offering a minor mana  4 a Jah .

Really? I didn't see the word "offer" in there anywhere. In fact I didn't
even see "O". Do you think that Mrs Simms taught the whole world? From what
you say I'm surprised she was allowed to teach your "special ed." English
class, using contractions like "u" and "4".

That *must* be it. Everyone is out of step except you.

P.S. What does "stooiped" and "stooipd" mean? Did Mrs. Simms teach you those
too?

People are stupid. I make a game called "35hr for script" with the
description being "eth upped titans". Seems simple, right? Well, over the
course of an hour, I got these responses:

"What was script? I didn't read it."

"I have titans." "Eth upped?" "No."

"What are eth upped titans?"

"I have 193 ed e up titans for trade." So, I open trade window with him,
start to put runes in window..."I don't take hrs." "Err, game name was 35HR
for them, but whatever, what DO you take then?" "WUG"

"I have eth titans you have hrs?" "Yes, I have hrs. Are the titans upped?"
"Whats upped?"

Then the last genius joins, runs up to me, offers eth, non upped, 190 ed
titans. I tell him I need eth upped titans, not eth non upped ones, and he
starts ranting about how the only difference is that upped titans do more
physical damage, and physical damage is useless for a javazon. I make 2
points, first point, physical damage ISN'T useless cause all the lightning
damage in the world won't kill immunes and leech is based on physical
damage, not lightning damage. Point 2, I already HAVE 196/9 eth titans, so
if he doesn't have upped ones for trade, mine are ALREADY better than his
and I have no need to trade for his. At this point he hostiles me(I'm on a
mule) and tells me he'll "own" my shitty barb. I tell him the barb is a
mule, but if he wants to fight, I'd be glad to get a real character and
fight him, so I grab my druid, hostile him, and get "f.ck u noob" followed
by him leaving the game.

Maybe I am Stupid also, but wouldn't it have been a lot easier to just up
your own eth titans and save yourself the grief and 33 HR's?

Shiflet is on Non-Ladder, and there you cannot upgrade Exceptionals to
Elites:

Ah, my bad, didnt know that since i have never played NL. You learn

It's not just you, I get asked this a lot. I'm NL. You can't up exceptionals
to elite on NL. Only way to get upped titans NL is to pay, and they don't
come cheap.

When I want something, I make with a name like:

n <something> o <something>

No ambiguity at all.

And, yes, B.Net is filled with kiddies mostly; I'm glad it's not only on
Europe. ;)

On the topic of Jah Rune, I had a guy come into a game I needed rush
making new Char. HANDED me Jah. So, I think I'll be making that tele
armor soon. Does anyone have advice on how to make a Godly Hammerdin?
(not to jak the thread- just to make it last longer)

ps- yes I have met a lot of weird people on D2, but a lot of smart, nice,
cool people, also. I DID get my rush for my char. thru Norm. & I rushed
the guy bak. Quiker than he had did. I like when that happens.

15 years ago, I made a comment. 15 years later, it has been proved
true. The intelligence of the web is dicrectly proportional to the
cost of computers.

Excellent point. I hadn't considered that aspect.

Actually I blame Microsoft for making it such that any thing having
marginally better than a single digit IQ can get onto the Internet.

Oh, comon, the general populous, possessing one brain cell, give us stuff

Yes, we are the computer nannies. But it makes you wonder about the
amount of effort expended for the return. If you stop to think about it,
how much time is spent to get work product out of one of them with a
computer, after you consider the computer, the software, the training,
the re-training, rebuilding the computer, and THEN they turned OFF the
spell checker because they didn't like the squiggly lines under the words!
