Crystal- Manipulative (?)

[Mister Cheese]

Okay...

I'm gonna be honest here, I felt bad for her that nobody really helped her with making this. However, I'll explain.

I just felt like I needed to write this, cause I probably can't sleep tonight unless I get this off my chest.




Okay, so I started up my server after gey Swim Club. I was seriously gonna Bluzone, but after noting that Bluzone was shut down, I just decided to build.

I was building a courtyard for something, and one of my other friends, Craftinator, joined. We talked for a while, restarted the server for a technical issue. We play, build, and we were having a fun time.
Then, Crystal joined. If I remember correctly, her ID was 15978. She started asking me strange questions, like: "Is this server up often?" , "Are you a good builder?" , and "Have you recreated something before?". I asked her why she was asking such strange questions, and she said she had been asking around 100 people these questions, and every time, they rejected her when she asked the final question. I wanted to know what it was, and she told me "I want to create a complete recreation of Fatal Frame in Blockland... Would you like to help?"
After a while of explaining and her begging me, including a discussion of the game's weapon, a camera that damages enemies innthe game, which I am not an addon maker, so I kept mentioning it. She kept ignoring it. I told her I just needed to think about helping her with it. Her tone, I just didn't like. It almost seemed manipulative to me. She immediately left after replying "..."

About 1 hour later, I got back on Blockland and started the server up again, really hoping to get some work on that courtyard in before bed. To my dismay, Crystal joins. She immediately asks if I thought about her proposal yet. I honestly hadn't yet, so I kinda chose right then and there, trying to be nice. I said I would help when I felt like it, and immediately, it's like she took a sorta bossy personality. She spawned, and told me to make 5 chairs, all different, for the mansion of the game. I did so in about 10 minutes. She replied with "Hm. Okay, color these all different."
Keep in mind, I AM hosting the server, and SHE'S acting like the host.
I did so yet again, and was getting a bit aggravated. Still being bossy and barely building anything, I mentioned her tone, she said something rushed about how she was "sorry and wasn't trying to be bossy, but I kinda had the idea..."
I just needed to get away from this woman (?). It had been an extremely rough day, and I just needed to... Get away. I decided I had to pull the ol' "dead relative" card, and said I had received some bad news... My grandma just died, I said solemnly to her.

She simply rushed "oh I'm sorry". I replied that I just needed to shut the server down, to just... Process my feelings. Replying with "............", she leaves.
I immediately permaban her. She just didn't seem trustworthy to me in any sense.

I could just be being a huge asswipe right now, which I really hope I am not, but I try to be nice to people, and they practically treat me like they are my superior.

tl;dr
Lady joins, asks for help to build a recreation of Fatal Frame, acts bossy, gets banned. Seems manipulative.

Have you seen this Blockland before?

she should host her own server and ask for people to join, not boss people around.

Came on my server asking same thing. Thank God I didn't listen to her.

[Nobot]

How can you possibly just randomly ask someone if they want to take part in a recreation build project as big as that?

I mean you should at least gather and organize everything you are going to do, make a discussion topic or whatever and then try and find people you would know to help.
You don't just go around asking strangers to help with something like that, very weird.

Goddamn it, I meant Blocklander. Stupid AutoCorrect.

She did seem strange.

She ignored the whole server concept and just asked me out of the blue.

I was pretty sure somewhere in the conversation she mentioned having a Blockland Forums account, barey using it. She never told me the username, though.

[CharlesSpeaking]

so basically, you accepted her request and banned her for having you help her with what you said you'd help her with?

okay no

[blocklandiansprofile]

I understand that how she was acting wasn't very respectful but, I don't feel it was right for you to lie and say your relative died, And for that i feel you're also to blame.

Um, you don't go to a server and command someone to build something.

I understand that how she was acting wasn't very respectful but, I don't feel it was right for you to lie and say your relative died, And for that i feel you're also to blame.

Maybe that wasn't best but if you wanna get someone off your back, use a white lie.

No, she had an attitude of sorts. She never really insulted me or anything, but she just seemed untrustworthy to me. Plus, extremely bossy, not really helping in the build she asked for me to "help out" with. She could have just told me it was practically just me building it.

I agree, and I feel bad for that now. It's just, it had been a really stuffty day, and I just needed to get away, and for some reason, I chose that... Not even sure why.

you banned her for being untrustworthy?

plus, you could have asked her if she was going to be helping out or something

but you banned her

This drama isn't really about getting her banned or the reason why I banned her... It's more about how she doesn't just host a server for people to maybe help build it with her, cause like Scratch said, you don't just join someone's server asking to help build a complete recreation of a game most likely you've never heard before.

You have no idea what ypu're talking about.

That's a huge project which you build yourself on your OWN server, not spamjoin servers just to manipulate hosts to abid your own biddings when you're not even admin.

Dude, it was fine. It was a white lie.

Btw, A white lie is a small, almost insignificant lie that shouldn't be justified at any time.

okay that's where i agree with you

wasn't talking about that

he could have just said he had a rough day, why did he have to lie? he didn't.

i wouldn't say that this lie was fine, worthwhile, or useful.

it's not something i'd call fine, myself.
