Cave Story Tribute Site Forums

All right, I wasn't trying to be nosy, but now that you make that comment, I realize there are some who don't take this kind of thing lightly, and I probably shouldn't have made this comment.

I was trying to be playful, but it obviously only seemed like that because age and gender don't seem like a big deal to me. I should have seen it from the perspective of people who take age and gender just as seriously as I do my last name.

I'll leave this comment up here for a couple of hours before I delete this conversation so that Polaris sees it and knows that I didn't mean any harm.

Oh, it's fine, Desu. Hayden didn't do anything invasive, like hack through my email and stuff, and he has a pretty fair reason for thinking that. But of course...

I'm not giving an iota of confirmation towards if he's right or not. <img src='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/awesome3.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':awesomeface:' />

Oddly, this reminds me of when someone at another forum thought that I was a 75-year old, no matter how many times I said that I wasn't. :/

So are you fine with this still being here? Or would you prefer that I take it down?

Well uh

It's on my profile so of course, if I didn't want it here I could just delete it <img src='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />

In less annoying words, it's fine right where it is. Don't worry about it, Hayden.

graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

In all seriousness though I agree with Hayden's idea that you're a teenage girl

For example: you said "besties" once

I guess I might as well clear this up officially, kinda. For future reference.

Yes, age and gender are big things for me. As well as my name. And my location. And some other things.

However, I don't mind guesses or theories. In fact, they entertain me. It's always fun to see someone guess my gender, age, etcetera. Especially because I inevitably won't say anything anyway. <img src='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/chin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':chin:' />

That said...if someone were to hack my account, check my IP, use location data, or any other black magic for the purpose of figuring out my identity, or for ANY purpose, really...that's just wrong. It's not amusing, it's not cool, and it makes me want to stab something.

Which is why I was so angry at Dunc, though I tried not to show it. It was a serious "Oh helllll no" punch-to-the-trust for me. I got even more rageish when he followed up my halfhearted attempt to defuse the situation by saying he <em class='bbc'>wouldn't leave me alone until he <strong class='bbc'>at least knew my age.</strong></em>

Sometimes Dunc is not very perceptive.

I was pissed and felt a mite betrayed. It took a long while to forgive the whole thing, and I'm still not sure I entirely do. I'm trying though. I really am.

You see, when I joined the forums, I was really, really averse to leaving any part of myself on the internet. I've gotten a bit better, but as Noxid says, I'm still very prudish and reserved. I'll probably be that way for a long while, possibly always. Things like these <em class='bbc'>terrify</em> me.

Most is forgiven, but...think things through next time. Please.

And if anyone is thinking of doing something like that...for a laugh, out of curiosity, out of malice, I don't care. Just don't do it. For my sake.

It's very good sake. Pete taught me how to make it...

I'd like to point out that I have not made any attempts to find information about you since you gave that tiny bit
And please please please don't get angry about me trying to figure this out
I'm just as obsessive about knowing things about other people as you are about not letting people know

And I'll be honest I have two ulterior motives
1. I'd love if you'd get Skype and talk with me and sold and some others because you're great we love you
2. CAVECON JUNIOR WILL HAPPEN AND YOU WILL COME for the same reason as number one

I've noticed that, and I appreciate it-

Wait. Gave <em class='bbc'>what</em> tiny bit? <img src='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/confused2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':confused:' />

And...it's fine, Dunc. I'm not really angry anymore.

As for your ulterior motives:

1.No
2.Hell no

:c

•_•

It simply cannot happen. Neither of them.

I'm sorry. It sounds fun. But I can't do it.

Yeah #2 is just silly bullshit we're not actually going to do it probably
But yeah too bad about the no-skype thing, it would be pretty cool to talk with you. I understand why you wouldn't want to, though <img src='http://www.cavestory.org/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':p' />

Yes...it would be fun...

But. The very thought of going on Skype is bringing on the angst and nya-ing.

:C

I'm sorry, Dunc.

Just out of curiousity, what do you think of your guess after the fact, Hayden?

I must say I am very surprised. I guess you taught me never to pretend to know someone's gender when you really don't. A long time ago, I used to think Wild Desu and MetaSeraphim were boys, and that Cultr was a girl. I hope you weren't offended by me expressing how I was 95% sure that you're a girl.

In any case, I believe this is the first time we've talked since then. I've been meaning to say something to you on the subject, but I haven't gotten around to it. Congratulations on coming out of your shell, I'm proud of you.

Interesting to note: the concept of Skype was met with "no" initially, and now look at how you've ended up

Don't worry, I wasn't offended. Like I said before, honest guesses were fun and I had no problem with them. At any rate, pretty much everyone who bothered to guess thought I was female, so...yeah. I wonder if that means anything.

At any rate, thank you very much! :333

<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote' data-author="Dunc"><p>Interesting to note: the concept of Skype was met with "no" initially, and now look at how you've ended up</p></blockquote>Well, I wasn't ready then. And although I said "neither of them" could ever happen, that was an error on my part. I probably should have said that Cavecon can't happen; I actually had a slight longing to join Skype and stuff then, but I knew it would take several months of personal progress to be ready. (And even then, the beginning was pretty bumpy.)
