*Sigh* I suppose I could go over the many pages of posts to find this out, but I'm too tired tonight... is it normally like this in this club? All confrontational, I mean? I was hoping the SHC would be more like "Awright, I got a shiny!" and "Dude! Wtg!". But instead, it's like "OMG, I got like, 200 shinies so far!" and "Man, u suck, u cheater! >:" I know I'm as guilty as the rest of us, because I told Pkmaster off too (perhaps a little too vehemently, I'm ashamed to say), but is this really what this club is all about? It makes me sad to have to read so many angry posts when I come here. ;_; I know I'm out of bounds here, and there was probably little else that could have been done, but it still bums me out.
I'm not wanting to quit shiny hunting or anything, and I wanna stay a member of the club (although I don't think I ever got an official okay on that one, either), but I really don't like confrontation. In real life, I'm the kind of person who will do just about anything to avoid it. In fact, I cry pretty easily in situations like that. *shuffles nervously* I don't exactly feel comfortable telling you guys that, but I just want you to understand why I'm saying all this. It may sound more like a complaint than I intend it, but what I really want is to know if it's NORMALLY like this, or if this whole incident is just an abnormality, and we're all usually laid-back, nice, and respectful to each other?
Anyway, I'll add in a report too.
Emerald: Wanted to buy it today, but my store didn't have it in yet.
Ruby: Still soft resetting for a shiny Treecko. I won't give up! (At least until I get my hands on Emerald ^_~)
