"It's just a game"
If I keep telling myself this, then maybe losing a couple of dollars because people are fucking morons won't be such a big deal.
I'd have preferred to have burned those dollars, literally, though.
When there's a raid, in pokemon go, and there's 24 accounts, you need to split into two groups.
And when it's a legendary, you need to have a minimum of 5 people in a group. MINIMUM! (Unless everyone is over level 35, has the right pokemon with high IVs and powered up, but that's something really hard to do in the game)
So, when those who know what they are doing tell you to do at least ONE private group to split up the teams, don't tell them that they are being stupid and then jump into the public lobby anyway. On top of that, do not claim that it's completely stupid to want to split the two groups based on team so that the teams could BOTH get the extra balls (which are useful for the raid)
You screwed over me, my mom, my dad, and one other person. We always raid with your group and you know us!
If I had known that there was one more person that was going to get screwed over like that, then I could have asked a tight friend to hop out of the raid and we could take it with the five accounts. But we didn't know.
That's money down the fucking drain.
Thanks jackass.
And, yes, I am very bitter. Because you flat out told me that I didn't know what I was doing.
I'm sorry, but WHO was it that split the mewtwo raid up? Who was it who got over 100 players organized so that everyone had the team advantage, nobody got left out, and it was all run in a timely manner so that it wouldn't fall on it's face with the retarded 45 minutes for the raid? (I miss the 2 hour raids...)
Not you, bitch! Not you, stupid jackass! The two of you don't raid as much. The two of you aren't fucking leaders. And the two of you royally fucked over four players.
Thanks a ton.
We should have gone ahead and done the raid without the last four of you. We backed out and were going to do the two teams because of YOU guys. But you pull this shit instead.
Thanks.
And this is after I had my knee give out. (Thank the heavens above that I made it back to the van by then, so I didn't fall onto the harsh gravel. I just hit my bad hand against the hood of the van to catch myself. Not so sure which would be worse...)
I didn't have a jacket, and it's fucking cold out.
I was out there in the cold and wind to try and help everyone, and you all fucked me over.
And then you wonder why my family ducked out and said "Fuck it" to helping with any other raids today.
I'm glad that NOBODY involved with this caught it. I'm sorry that only TWO out of your large group caught the damn legendary, because that means that those who didn't intentionally fuck us over got caught up in your shitty karma.
I'm glad that you didn't get enough people for the other three raids that happened after that. Because you don't deserve the help after pulling this stunt. Again.
If it was an accident, or the first time that you have done this, then fine. I would give you the benefit of the doubt. But this is not the first time you have done this. You constantly screw over people in the large groups because you think you know it all and don't know a damn thing.
If you don't know how to set up a private group for the raid, then bugger off and let someone who knows what the hell they are talking about and doing handle it.
-sighs-
It's a stupid thing to get pissed off about, but that's $3.00 that was thrown away because of this. $3.00 that would have been put to better use as our lunch today. But c'est la vie.
If we see either of you two at a raid and there's more than six total people, then we're sitting it out. We're not wasting any money because you can't handle things. And if there's another EX raid and you're around, I'm not going to raid on your side. I'd rather raid with one of the other teams than to be in your group. I'll take the loss of three balls in order to not be of any aid to you.
I know this is petty, but whatever. It makes me feel better.
In other news, my uncle on my dad's side passed away last night. Lung cancer finally claimed him -sighs-
Sooooo, let's throw the stress of that in with the stress of now needing to make a completely unplanned trip out of state for a few days in the next week into the mix.
Oh, and the fact that I'll now have to, most likely, miss my best friend's younger sister's wedding, which has been planned for months and months, now, because of my own family issues.
At least it's almost Halloween. That's one good thing. Even if I'll most likely be spending it at home, with nothing to do other than RP and stare at a screen...
Maybe I should do my own scary movie marathon that night, possibly.
