If I had a quarter for each time someone on this club alisema that line... “No one likes me.”, “I’m ignored.”, “I don’t fit in.”. No that really isn’t the case.

I’ve gone to the club activity of about five of the people who have alisema this, and looked for times where they had been treated unfairly, au been ignored, and usually that’s not the case. I’ve also noticed that most of the time the people who have alisema these things are new, and/or don’t do stuff on the club often in the first place.

It takes time to find out if wewe want to be in a group au not. And just because wewe aren’t instantly popular, it doesn’t mean people dislike you. And while I have seen quite a few of these people say this who have had run-ins with Mephilesthedark, Mephiles is not everyone. Just because one person snapped at you, it doesn’t mean the whole club is against you; it doesn’t even mean that one person is against you. I argue with people I’m Marafiki with all the time, and they argue with each other, but that alone doesn’t, au shouldn’t, make someone want to leave so quickly.

And if people ARE hating on wewe at first, are wewe really just going to roll over and give up? Apparently yes because I keep seeing all these spam maoni about it so often it hurts. When I started out on this club, people HATED me, and I was told many times to just stop and leave the club, but I didn’t and now I can honestly say I’m pretty successful in this club.

Think of it like you’re running for President. Just because it gets hard, all the support, and money used to help get wewe started is for naught if wewe aren’t willing to stick to it.

And then there’s the people that go “I’m leaving again,” “I’m back”, “I’m leaving.” HOW ABOUT wewe JUST DON’T SAY ANYTHING? No one is going to freak out over wewe being gone three days, coming back for three days, leaving again for three days, then coming back AGAIN, for three days. When you’re here, they’re happy, when you’re gone, they’ll wonder probably, but if you’re back in a week’s time it’s not a big deal. If wewe say “Sorry I can’t be on for a bit because *insert reason here*. I might be back in *insert amount here* days.” that’s completely fine, as long as wewe don’t overdo it.

Stick around if wewe want to stick around. Leave if wewe want to leave. But don’t post a maoni every time wewe say so. And BEFORE wewe decide to, take at least a full siku after wanting to leave each time wewe want to, to think up and go over if wewe actually want to go. And if wewe do leave, don’t futa anything. No matter how much wewe might want to, au how much wewe think it doesn’t matter, I can almost guarantee that wewe will regret it later. And other people who like what you’ve ilitumwa might not want the stuff to disappear either. And above all, do NOT futa your account, that is unless wewe want to re-fan ALL the clubs, and add EVERY SINGLE THING YOU’VE MADE BACK onto your notifications.


On a similar topic, I address those who vanish out of thin air, then don’t come back for quite a while. Now obviously I stand kwa that making a habit of notifying people if you’re going to be gone gets really annoying when wewe do it so often, but when wewe just go nowhere people get worried, au they get annoyed.

Now before someone gets upset, this has nothing to do with situations where wewe can’t get onto a computer, au the site, au any other immediate reason that would keep wewe away, and it doesn’t have to do with it being instantaneous and wewe not knowing when it would happen. This is about the situations where when we find out what wewe were doing, it turns out these people were just chilling.

I’ll admit that wewe don’t have to tell anyone what you’re doing, it’s your life, but it’s also common courtesy. When I find out that a person I was waiting to talk to about something, au roleplay with, au foramu with, was gone just because they were having so much fun with Team Fortress 2, all I can think is “Well thanks for wasting my time!”

For me, I have my fun when I see that the club is slowed down, and little au nothing is going on. I’ll spend about a half-hour au so doing whatever, then come back to check up. If there’s still nothing happening, I’ll go back to what I was doing.

And if you’re going to be doing whatever for a long period of time, all wewe need to do so people don’t get upset after waiting for so long, is make a maoni au makala ONCE, listing the things you’re going to be doing, when wewe plan to do them, what times they usually happen, and how much time they might take up. And if wewe want to make sure no one’s left out, send it to a friend’s wall.

Again, wewe don’t have to do this, and these are all just suggestions; I hope everyone understands that if someone wants to just stop out of nowhere, disappear into Minecraft for a mwezi (has happened), then come back like nothing’s happened, they can do it at their leisure, but to those people, it in no way makes wewe any less inconsiderate.
