…anyone want to start a betting pool on when the game collapses? I wish I could post a big warning sign on her front page: “Do not enter unless you’re ready to be abused and cheated of your money”!

Oh lordy, if this is real this is funny:

Apparently Bran had an ‘eleven year career in the pizza industry’ and whathisname, her husband, spent ‘nine years at McDonald’s working his way from grill to Management’ before working a futher eight years in pizza stores!

Oh guys, I was angry, but upon seeing this I’ve realised that we don’t need to get too worked up about these losers. Their website was a good idea, but the design is awful, the navigation is terrible and the gameplay is clunky, slow and awkward. Good ideas that aren’t executed properly will be appropriated by others and done better, and in the end ER will fail because other people will be offering a better service, plain and simple. And Bran and her husband will be back at Pizza Hut being the King and Queen of their little store and bossing around their employees just as they do to the users of their website now.
Let them enjoy this ER ‘power’ while they have it, because these people will have nothing when it’s gone.

Someone passed along to me the latest from the blog dedicated to hating me. I hear it is incredibly slow over there. You’d think if I were half as evil as they claim it would be burning up all of blogspot’s bandwidth, yet it is so pathetically slow it proves how off base they are. Ah well.

But I had some interesting observations of this latest vitriol being spewed.

They are on about the game collapsing. It’s so horribly done. I’m such a horrible person. It is surely doomed. Any second now it is going to collapse and I will be left with nothing.

Ok. *blinks and thinks for a moment*

We just celebrated our 8th anniversary… Eight. Years. The number of people that have played numbers in the tens of thousands. Over 100,000, even accounting for multiple accounts. So having a tiny handful of them dissatisfied really isn’t a sign of the apocalypse for the game really. But it seems to be a common theme for them to predict that the game is going to close any second now. You know, ’cause it sucks so bad and I suck so bad.

So I start wondering things like:

• How do they think I’ve made it 8 years then?
• Why are they so angry if the game was so lousy?
• Why did they spend money on the game if it sucked that bad?
• What time do the fresh krispy kremes arrive at kroger?

What I think is that this prediction is really wishful thinking on their part. They are angry and are wishing bad on me because they want it to happen so it will hurt me. I would guess with the claims of me stealing their money they must have been suspended for breaking the rules. Which means they are outside now. They’ve been kicked out and they desperately want to be in. But they can’t be now because they fucked up. So they are angry. Instead of directing their anger at themselves for fucking it up for themselves, they direct it at me. Complete with wishes of bad things happening to me, showing what kind of person they in their heart. Horrible, nasty, vile, spiteful, vindictive bitches. Sad.

Clearly the game can’t be half as bad as they claim it is or they wouldn’t have wanted to play it. They wouldn’t have stuck it out long enough to get in trouble. Their level of anger and hatred directed at me for taking it away from them very likely means it was actually very important to them. They are acting like addicts.  Weak inhibition, rash, impulsive. (Which would lead to making multies.) And when denied the object they want, they react aggressively, hostilely, even violently. Deny a junkie their heroin or a gambling addict a seat at the table. Heck deny a child with this temperament a toy they want.

Anyway. What I figure is that all just means that they have, in their twisted way, told me just what an amazing job I have done with E-R.

(Oh and running an entire franchise is not a lame job that you laugh at, so laughing at me over it is just pettiness in an attempt to make themselves feel superior to me. But I’m sure the folks at their local fast food restaurants would love to spit in their food for looking down on those jobs!)
