If anything, I would think these last few pages would inspire hope, as in ppl realizing "Yes, it really IS possible to get one!" If I get one, will you be happy for me? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I guess it's pointless to try to get one now, it's way past 2:00pm. (hopes and dreams lost again) 😥 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good to know and yes, I do get upset when people take pleasure in my misery, it's usually the ones who already snagged a house.

Most people are not taking pleasure in your misery. There has just been an awful lot of complaining, over multiple threads, and many of the regulars just get frustrated trying to explain the same thing over and over again......... and typically just getting bashed themselves for trying to explain things to folks. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may be taking this a mite too personal. And it may sound a bit rude to you, but I don't even know you enough to enjoy your potential misery. The upside of that selfsame coin is, that when folks post here, all jubilant, saying they finally got a new home, I am simply just happy for them, and just think "YAY! Another one got a home. And look how joyful they are." Honestly, for me, life is just too short to try and keep track of who was on what alleged 'side.'

There are people who cross the line in the forum towards those who are sad that they don't have houses (and the mods have been dealing with that from what I've seen), but I've not seen anything to suggest they enjoy the misery. More that they get frustrated about it. Which means some people really need to stop reading/posting to the venting threads, but it's not the same thing as rubbing their hands in glee because others feel bad. I have seen some going after people with houses who possibly do enjoy the misery. Not so much here, but inworld. They target those who've just got houses and are happy about it, because it's easier to crush someone at that point. It's that sort of behaviour that made me leave the groups behind. Based on that, there are some people who I won't feel happy for when they get houses, but at least it might make them leave other people alone for a bit. For most people though, I am happy for them, and that was a thing about being in the group I liked. I just wish it could have been more being happy for people and less abuse. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leora Jacobus Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) Well I came back and found that "ten hours ago" just after I posted that I'd go to bed the region has been released ... Only that all that "ten hours ago" seems not to be correct. Now it is 1am SLT I went to bed at 2 pm SLT = eleven hours ago. When exactly was the region given away ? 2 pm or 3 pm SLT or later? Just want to know if next time it might be worth staying up till (my) midnight. Edited July 16, 2019 by Leora Jacobus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I logged out just before 4 a.m. my time AEST (which I think was around 10a.m. SLT or thereabouts?) and the region still hadn't been released by then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leora Jacobus Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Well then I stayed logged in a lot longer then you ... till 2pm SLT ... and nothing had been released till then. But judging by the posts I must have JUST missed it! ... seems to have been 2:30 pm SLT or some such. ... never mind there are other days and other regions. ... and I am not homeless just a swapper and location - huntress 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootsiepop1 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Well interesting as I woke up and on another error screen this morning for a friend and of course something happened and gave her a houseboat, now not sure if this is an old area or new Penitent Beach, I see a few next to that have the read text and are empty so not sure if these were abandoned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said, and I feel the same about what I've seen happen in groups when some poor soul happily announces they got a home and gets ripped apart. Some people really do make it hard to wish them luck in finding a new home. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna Istmal Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 (edited) What I say here is not for criticizing or offend anybody, is just what I thought reading some groups chat. Some people are trying from long to get a house without suceeding and this is what they had to read in chat: people excited for the beauty of the houses and the places talking each other , exchanging ideas and suggestions for making their houses even better; people getting houses using some refreshing helpers; people even agreeing with friends and tell them when a house was available. All that had some consequences: increase the expectations and anxiety of people without homes for having one soon; increase their level of frustration for being homeless. All that can give bad feelings and I am not surprised for that, so better to think well managing a group and act with a good balance. I am used to tell always what I think, not for blaming or criticizing but for help as I can, and i hope that this post can be useful.

Raspberry Crystal Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 I found it hard listening to all that excitement when I didn't have my home yet, so I dropped out of chat for a while, it isn't the feeling that's at fault. 6 minutes ago, Luna Istmal said: All that can give bad feelings 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true, but we know that every behaviour make others have feelings and their reactions are based on their feelings, that I meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
