Nah. Some Mythics are practically babies. They're all chirpy and happy. Makes Mythic Members group hell.

I'm not cynical, dmg04, I'm pessimistic and jaded.

Get it right man.

Also, I'm a bit cynical.

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

More like "With boredom comes cynicism".

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

What exactly keeps you coming back, aside from 1 upping everyone?
A morbid sense of self loathing.

Correlation vs. causation. I think account age is a prerequisite to be cynical because you don't see new members as cynics (maybe rarely?), however account age isn't the cause of cynicism.

I wouldn't say everyone, but yes, the mayority turns more elitist.

I'm not the case, I could careless what my rank is or what color displays.

I definitely agree with that, I've seen many changes in many members during my time with the Community.

Me you ask about? I have become more seasoned and much brighter.

My super serious attitude. I want that video.

Everyone gets cynical as they age in relation to everything. Can't really be helped. People just sort of lose their wide eyed mysticism relationship with the world that they hold when their young.

Some people even buy moderators drinks, ingest snake alcohol, and get their hands duct taped.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

You may be right. But - the only reason I've come here recently is just to kill 15 or 30 minutes. I joined when I was a kid, but have since grown up. To say I still come here for the same reasons I used to would be ridiculous.

I have to agree. It's funny seeing how negative the older members are towards each other, the site, and everyone involved with it. And obviously the ironic bit is that i'm not that old of a member and i'm already negative about this particular thing. It's a vicious cycle.

Obviously, however, there are exceptions. We can't put a blanket statement like that on all older members. Some of the Dragons are pretty cool.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

I wouldn't generalize it towards everyone who's been here a long time... I think what American Recoil said is probably the most accurate. Normal people don't overly complain when they are engaged in something entertaining.

I think what we're seeing now is just a bunch of bored people waiting for that entertainment. Some people who have been here longer have been through more cycles of this and probably have less patience for it.

I'm not cynical, I would even say I've become nicer to other members. Personally, I've matured and found myself working to be a strong member of the community.
