Everquest, Guildwars, World of Warcraft, Furcadia, Starcraft, E.V.E, Secondlife, yeah the list goes on really. They are games we all play and true though some of these games, just have us simply killing monsters and grinding for experience points.. Other games are different so different you wonder if its a game at all, because people get upset or get wrapped up in it.
Take the game Secondlife for instance, its made and built by the people who play it. For a lot of players its a place where you can meet up with others all over the world, its a grand social event and you don't have to be yourself. Well you can be yourself but you don't have the usual restraints that society places on you, you could be like me and have no life at all apart from Secondlife.
It's just a game?
I once read that though Secondlife is a game, there are real people behind those avatars. The question was asked where do you draw the line, when those people actually start to get hurt? When they cry over something you done or said, when they hate you or when they laugh with you. Where is the line when its no longer a game, but something a whole lot different?
Okay so let me bring in to the equation a thing a lot of us like to call Roleplay, now I know where the Out of character and In character line is. A lot of roleplayers especially where I roleplay in don't know that line, and I have to admit I have occasionally blurred the line myself.
Why?
You get attached to the people you are interacting with, attached to their characters. Yes its easy to blurr the line when you get OOC pissed at something IC, you're too close to your own character or how their feeling hits your own emotions. I seen it often enough to realise thats when people need to back off, to look at the situation again and remember where the line is. OOC feelings for those who become friends or more also bleed a lot in to roleplay, its no fault of your own it just happens. No one is exempt from getting annoyed or crying over RP, for lashing out over the stupidist little things. If you happen to join a group one that is close-knit like a family, the line continues to blurr as you get more involved and tangled. Issues arise not from the roleplay itself but from the people behind the avatars, at the end of the day you're still dealing with real people.
So it's just a game......
Think again and be careful how you play.

Can I ask why? You play around I see you preying on others, then why must you play with my emotions? I'm not your bitch I'm meant to be your friend, I can be left alone for weeks on end and I do what I want. I am going to cut you off we haven't done anything in weeks anyway, before I go any deeper before I fall anymore. You used to be a shoulder to cry on, for a while now I feel like a pet and I own myself not owned. Can we go back to how we were before? Just two good friends with no complications? How the fuck did we end up this screwed up? Why did it all go downhill? I care for you, show me you care by just being there.
Once again my love my support my pillar my wife, I've had enough of drama coming at me from all sides over the weekend. Though I screw up or let things happen, you never hate me as I can't hate you. You are as you say my bulldog, I know I love you not sure in what way but I know I would give you the world. When I fall over, pick me up. Please?
Oooooh that's so damn hot, growl for me baby.
Okay you, yes you. Damn it just cos you aint here doesn't mean you need to bloody smother me when you are here, I can see why she told you to see other people. I don't think she wanted you to smother those people too, we both love you but you are getting rather clingy. Give us a breather yo!
Erm babe polygamy is nothing to worry about, I may acutally have a streak of jealousy now and then. I won't let it ruin anything or let it show, I'll just bury it cos it goes after time. Long as I know you care, long as I know you'll be there.
Whatever you want do in life, don't make the people around you cry. I'm here for you to talk to, I do happen to be a good listener. Okay? Good.
I do not sound cute!
No I will not be singing on air.....

[Yep its message time again, some is OOC and some is IC :P I won't say which is which, that ruins half the fun]
Live with us, come play with us. We'll make sure to corrupt you, and then you'll be one with us.
Why don't I say hi to you anymore? Because I hardly get a conversation out of you, unless it seems on your terms and when you want to talk to me. I love you all it takes is one word and I go running, but you neglect me leaving me on a shelf somewhere. I'm not going to sit here crying.....
Quit being emo, you're so much more fun when you smile.
Sweet baby don't you cry over the things you can't help, try to stay in a serene place the problem might solve itself. I'll always be here, here for you. I just want you happy, because your laughter brightens up the world. I love you babydoll <3
I got one thing to say to you!! Ppppppppuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrr!
Please don't worry or feel bad because you're not around, you got a life and things to do in it. Its not like I can't survive without you, I understand and I'm not a priority. Take care of the things that matter, and look after yourself.
I heard all about but its just one side of it, it all could have been handled in a better and more mature way. I don't care what anyone says you won't be alone, you just need to see what you had and what you got. Things went sour and I'm sorry, there is still time to heal the wounds and rifts.
We face eachother from different sides, the anger burns can't remember why. It's kind of crazy to cause such pain, our foolish pride makes us hate this way. We watch our world fall apart. Tell me what good is winning, when we loose our heart? - Brother my brother by Blessed union of souls
All those accept my new path I will embrace and call my family, I spent such a long time with you all. All I ask is that you don't cause conflict between the old and the new, if you hate me that much just know I'm no traitor.
Do you know what love is? You speak it, but you don't seem to feel it.
It takes an asshat to know an asshat :D
For your sake its time you saw you are with people who are poisoning you, you grew some balls and you lost them again. You fill me with this undieing disappointment, I can shed no more tears of distress. I'm pretty much done and I grow weary of the insults, whenever I decide to say hi to you. Seriously wake the fuck up!
MOOCH!

In this city - Iglu & Hartley
[Lalalalala disclaimer not mine]
You came in to my life
You cannot separate yourself
You came in to my life
You cannot separate yourself
(Chorus)
And I found that round here
In this city
That I wont disappear
In this city
I got nothing to fear
In this city,
In this city
Close those doors
Close those doors now
Now, now, just keep em open
Keep em open
Yea, keep em open
Ill keep on, keep keep on going
Taking it in so, so heavy
Take it easy son, this aint so deadly
Got keep on, gotta go on, gotta go on
Take it all with what weve done
Gotta push it push it push it
To the top of the building
Even when no one is feeling
It might bother you
Dont let it
If these people just dont get it
They cant express it
They wont accept it
She said its okay that they may never give you that credit.
(Chorus)
And I found that round here
In this city
That I wont disappear
In this city
I got nothing to fear
In this city,
In this city
Ive been down here
Down these roads
People pass through
Some stay some go
Standing here broke
Not a penny to my name
But she says she loves me all the same
I try my best
And you do to
And all you want is something you can move to
Everybodys gotta get their kicks somewhere
Everybody gotta fit in somewhere
Theres, an open road
And Im traveling down
Dont know where to go
But I lock and load
Shoot that sky till the moon explode
Moon explode
Now were laying in a field
White flowers on our backs
Talking bout home
But we cant go back
I guess thats why we left
So we could take a step
Keep moving and forget the rest.
You came in to my life
You cannot separate yourself
You came in to my life
You cannot separate yourself
(Chorus)
And I found that round here
In this city
That I wont disappear
In this city
I got nothing to fear
In this city,
In this city
You came in to my life
You cannot separate yourself
You came in to my life
You cannot separate yourself
(Chorus)
And I found that round here
In this city
That I wont disappear
In this city
I got nothing to fear
In this city,
In this city
Close those doors
Close those doors now

miss you, I wish I knew if you are truely gone or not. Not knowing is driving me crazy, I haven't cried not even when I heard. All I'm doing is looking for a sign, and finding only the empty places where you've been.
No excuse I make up will ever cover the fact I betrayed you, and for that I'm truely sorry for the pain I'm causing you. I've fallen in to a dark place with no current escape, as usual I end up just hurting all the people around me. I don't mean to, I don't want to. I hate hurting anyone.
You crushed me. I hope you got what you wanted out of it, that you made me feel worthless. You reminded me I am nothing more than a fucktoy, that men are liars and cheats. For a brief moment you gave me hope that I could have something of worth, in the end you simply snuffed it right back out again. Thank you for putting me in to my low point, no really thanks.
Whenever you want a peach just ask, I will certainly roll one your way.
Sometimes things don't work out here on this thing we call Secondlife, at the end of it all what happens in real life counts a little more. Work at what you need to work at, but know that when people finally move on they still love you with all that they are.
Funny how you are called the Shadow consort, though others of your own family are rather fond of me and another. Perhaps they should be called a Shadow consort too, at least that will make it fair.
What the fuck bit you in the ass and died?
I don't know how I got here or why, I don't talk about my problems I just bottle up. Usually it comes out rather slowly, this time it decided to exlpode in bursts. Screwing up, goofing off, and anything else that I did, I've been hit hard since December but still its no excuse. Right?
You always have my back, I always give in to you.. What happened there?
I will always be a Shadow at heart, even when I'm falling apart.
For some reason I can't seem to do anything alone anymore.

I stole this idea...... I thought it was a good idea
I want to tell you how I feel but I think that would just drive you away, I enjoy spending time with you. If only I knew how to say it and hope you would stay, I can't even say it here.
Pull your shit together I don't want to be in the middle when you two go off at eachother, I'll be the friend you need and want but I am not your scape goat.
QUIT BITING ME! The more you bite the more tempted I am, it doesn't matter if she said we could. I know she would still be hurt by our actions, and I am trying to keep my vow. Either way I like your company, I find you rather witty.
I'm not first in your heart and I realise I can't take that place, I also know that I don't want to make you unhappy. I am happy with having you around and our shared time, I will always have a place for you in my heart. <3
I can't thank you enough for spoiling me as much as you do, or the cuddles you give to me whenever I need to smile. Whenever I am sad you do your best to make me laugh. Much love to you!
So glad I married you, love you alot babes.
Do not tempt darkness to you for it will not go well for you, sometimes the light can not penterate the pitch black of a souless creature.
Knowing that you are happy with your wife makes me happy, despite the bitterness I sometimes feel when I see you two together.

And I´d give up forever to touch you
´Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You´re the closest to heaven that I´ll ever be
And I don´t wanna go home right now
And all I can taste in this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it´s over
I just don´t wanna miss you tonight
CHORUS:
And I don´t want the world to see me
´Cause I don´t think that they´d understand
When everything´s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can´t fight the tears that ain´t coming
Or the moments of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you´re alive.
´Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You´re the closest to heaven that I´ll ever be
And I don´t wanna go home right now
And all I can taste in this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it´s over
I just don´t wanna miss you tonight
CHORUS:
And I don´t want the world to see me
´Cause I don´t think that they´d understand
When everything´s made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can´t fight the tears that ain´t coming
Or the moments of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
And you bleed just to know you´re alive.
