Post by: BonzaiJoe on December 30, 2013, 11:57:04 AM
I would like to announce that I don't have anything to announce. Feel free to go on with whatever you were doing.

I would like to announce that I suspected exactly the same announcement from Bonzai Joe. ;D

'cause the Drama Queen CTG deleted it. Or the Attention Whore. The two expressions from the childish Rotoi's poor vocabulary. I'm "fond of" people having fun with others' medical problems.

My announcement is gone. I think it's fair enough if Akoss Poo knows.

Sorry for deleting the topic, it was a sudden anger attack.

Uhm, slightly weird, but ok. So there was an announcement but it was soon de-announced ::)

But on to new announcements!

For 2014 I'm going on Stunts-sabbatical! I won't be racing seriously, a bit like in the last two months. However, you'll probably see me on the track every month anyway, just in the bottom part of the scoreboard (rather than the middle-bottom, er...).

Thing is, I can't find the time to race properly and there's another task that I think I should concentrate on. And this task is the creation of —not less!— the Ultimate Track Editor for Stunts!

And I'll need a lot of help from you guys, so stick around ;D

You should be glad I keep my attention in you :D

Nobody's making fun of your medical problems. You didn't say the announcement was about this. Even if you have something very serious to announce, announcing that you have an announcement, instead of just saying what it is you want to say, is just attention whoring, and it sets a 'not very serious' frame.
About actual medical issues, I wish you best of luck and health, and I'm sure Rotoi does too.

Thank you BJ, but understand that to cry and to act like insulted or displeased it's another tool to attract attention.
   
I don't have to explain myself about it because everybody knows how it works. It's like to talk with an hysterical preteen girl.

Actually there was a message in "Another announcement", followed by the same attention whore message by Rotoi. What did it contain? As far as I remember, it can be summarized like that (also pointing on medical problems):

I decided not to announce anything, 'cause

1, it's too private
2, nobody would care
3, even I don't know what will happen to me (physically / mentally), so maybe nothing will change, but hopefully I'll make good decisions - and those desisions will be visible here.


However, it's not a secret. I have an irreversible eye problem (quickly spreading eye floaters covering about 5-10 percent of my vision field, strongly vibrating vision, eye pain ---> headache, dizzyness), getting worse and worse every day - also causing some psychological problems. It's highly recommended for me to decrease the time spent on staring the screen. Not the best advice for an addict. Since most of my computer activity is work (8 hours/day); and at home, playing Stunts (or other games) and chatting with chicks... well, I have to choose what to reduce. Obviously I can't ignore my work, so the only way is to decrease the private computer usage.

Another "not a secret" fact: I have no real life friends and I never had. I always thought they are useless. Therefore my only connection to people is online - mainly young chicks (and some weird communites, like this one). I need to keep at least one of these options... Since I'm an addict, it's very likely that nothing will change: I'll continue racing and spamming, while the nights will be spent with the internet Helens. That would be the worst solution. At least one thing should be thrown away (the chicks have an advantage). I don't know what will I do or how fast will my condition get worse, so it's useless to talk about "retirement" or any pathetic big words.

The only thing I know is that USC is finished, at least the "managed by CTG" edition. Although I hope somebody will continue managing this competition (with similar rules and principles, but in a fair way), I guess nobody wants to take such a low grade Stunts "brand". If anyone applies, I'll give him the eternal rights to manage the contest (even to MLR or Mingva would be welcome). The same goes for my unfinished car/airplane projects - although they are all far from ready.

Let's hope it's nothing and that you'll make the right decisions, regarding this place and everything else. It's not like you're my best friend, but I do care and I hope you're well.

CTG, your sight is more important than Stunts or Helens or most of the stuff on the internet. Point your eyes somewhere else, since you've only got a pair of those.

About USC, write the rules down in the USC forum section. If it's not this year, maybe the next one we'll find some time to get it running again. There's definitely space for a second, slightly different Stunts competition!

Well... if you are okay with a bi-weekly update, it can run... however, I have no mood for it.

I agree with dreadnaut here. Health is always on top of the list (both physical and psychological health). Obviously, cutting off your entire computer time (except work) is not an option as it will cause some psychological issues. But you really should reduce the time spent on it.
Real life friends are not useless, they would be a great help now. Talking to Helens is a lot funnier when done personally too, so I think you should go out more.
Take care and do what the doc says!

Real friendships can help in a lot of difficult life situations, but unfortunately it needs a lot of effort to build them from scratch. So if I were CTG, I would try to meet the internet Helens in real life. It's a fact that good sex is the greatest rapid solution for psychological problems. It's way better than alcohol, and if you don't choose an extremely ugly Helen, you won't vomit after it.

Hmmm... which discovery can be a larger disaster for a wife? If her husband drinks in secret, or if he fucks Helens? I think these are on the same level, but the Helens are more enjoyable for you, and better for your health. (At least if they don't have gonorrhoea, AIDS, etc.)
;)

The only thing I knew... well... it seems I can't hold back myself from playing, chatting, etc. If you are fine with a lazy USC, having updates only once a week and without a "strong" CTG, I can continue for this season.

No thanks, take a break at least until June with USC :)

We can have more live or special races —I'd like to try one with OWOOTR rules, as Alan was mentioning.
