ii thiink ii 2pent liike fiive miinute2 tryiing two read all that tbh, iim not u2ed two folk2 2ayiing that much two me
iit2 cool tho, ii know the feeliing about 2tayiing actiive and 2hiit. iim 2ollux, or td iif you prefer, iit2 cool two meet you.
I w9uldn't have descri6ed the am9unt 9f text in my greeting as "a l9t", 6ut sure, if y9u d9n't really talk t9 pe9ple all that much. Y9u can see this deviati9n fr9m y9ur greeter expectati9ns as s9mething 9f an acclimati9n f9r future interacti9ns. 6r9adening y9ur typically predicted h9riz9ns.
It's nice t9 make y9ur acquaintance, S9llux. I haven't met very many 9f y9ur alternates, and I'm making the assumpti9n y9u've n9t met a great deal 9f mine, s9 this will 6e s9mething 9f a mutual learning experience - as much a learning experience as simply meeting the alternate 9f an individual can 6e, anyway, which I understand isn't really much.
@rebelliiou2 started following you
I d9n't typically tag individual f9ll9wers, as it's particularly likely t9 6e t99 individualized a greeting f9r them t9 c9mf9rta6ly ign9re if they were n9t in such a place as t9 c9mf9rta6ly reply, 6ut y9u happen t9 6e the first and 9nly in quite s9me time. I haven't 6een 9n my 6l9g particularly much in quite a while, which - while unf9rtunate - 9ught t9 6e expected when time has n9 real sense 9f fl9w, 6ut I'm 69und t9 make m9re eff9rts t9 av9id simply "dr9pping 9ff the face 9f the (we6)" fr9m n9w 9n.
My name is Kankri, and while y9u're under n9 96ligati9n t9 share a name in return, I think it w9uld d9 w9nders t9 help us c9hesively h9ld c9nversati9n here.

P9rrim suggested I 6egin this 6l9g with a ph9t9 t9 6etter attract attenti9n, 6ut I’m sure any re6l9ga6le p9st w9uld have d9ne just as well.

holy sh1t ok4y h1 f4m, you c3rt41nly h4v3 4n 3y3 for soc14l d3t41ls, dont you???
I d9 try t9 make my 6l9g as c9mf9rta6le an envir9nment as I can f9r all my f9ll9wers - past, present, and future. Already I have received c9nfirmati9n that my initial greeter p9st was very successful, and h9pe t9 see similar success fr9m my future 6l9gging, as well as fr9m 9thers wh9 might f9ll9w my examples.

D –> I feel much the same honestly D –> And I can hear the collective gasps of every other zahhak in a 15 mile radius as I type that
#but ah no#i am... terribly shy and bad at responding to greetings so I have yet to have introduced myself properly#i apologize#I am Oblivion Hello#It is nice to meet you :}
Similarly. My name is Kankri. There's n9 need t9 ap9l9gize, as I make all my greetings t9 new f9ll9wers 9pen ended f9r scenari9s just such as these, and many m9re. The last thing I want t9 d9 is make my readers unc9mf9rta6le 6y making them feel 96ligated t9 message me 9n acc9unt 9f a mutual f9ll9wing, as difficult as it can s9metimes 6e t9 start new c9nversati9n later 6ecause 9f it.

D --> The bots want you to get "swole" with them
I'm sure my 6l9cking will have inf9rmed the 69t that I am n9t at all in the 6usiness 9f getting "sw9le".

So… Your friends would rather listen to a story unapplicable to them than to you.
Have you considered changing your tactics? I mean, I’m sure you’ve considered it, but if your current methods aren’t working, it might be time to change something.
I traveled with the Signless for sweeps, and much of the time he had to change how he spoke to different groups of people. Different trolls are receptive to different things, and some metaphors and ideas will be lost on certain groups. There are, too, groups that simply won’t hear you, but I should hope your friends are not among those.
#:PP Is that supposed to prompt me to ask what you *do* think?
They w9uld RATHER take n9te 9f the atr9cities 9ur planet c9uld and have experienced in the past, and “96vi9usly” lacked in the w9rld as we experienced thr9ugh9ut 9ur lifetimes, thus causing them t9 9ver l99k and undermine what tr9u6les did and still c9ntinue t9 exist. I have c9nsidered it, and acted 9n th9se c9nsiderati9ns in the past, thank y9u. The tactics I empl9y currently have 6een the m9st effective t9 date, and had the alternatives I've attempted in the past pr9ved any m9re efficient, many pr96lems that persist t9day w9uld n9 d9u6t have 6een rectified an eternity ag9. I w9uld n9t use my alternian alternate as an example f9r tactics, anyway. Using strategies that had pr9ven t9 6e s9 catastr9phically pr96lematic in the end, and I mean n9 9ffense in saying s9, d9esn’t s9und like a g99d idea 6y any means.

Jesus fucking christ. I forgot how much of an eyesore that quirk is in large texts.
I know what you meant. I also know what I meant. If a tentative addendum to a response to a greeting was enough to put you off from talking to me, we probably wouldn’t talk long anyway. I tend to be a very off-putting troll. I make no secret of it, and you can consider that one way of doing that.
I ask your pardon if I’m reading this wrong, but are you upset with the Signless because he’s stealing your thunder?
If y9u w9uld like t9 think 9f it that way y9u’re welc9me t9 d9 s9, 6ut even th9ugh y9u’re n9t the first t9 suggest as much, it d9esn’t make that view 9f the issue any less inaccurate. At n9 p9int did I claim t9 6e upset with The Signless himself, and sh9uld I at any time in the future, it w9uld n9t 6e in relati9n t9 this specific issue that I am referring t9 N9W. It is n9t my thunder he is stealing, and It is n9t he himself wh9 is stealing the thunder - the thunder 6eing a metaph9r f9r attenti9n and rec9gniti9n in this instance. It’s all well and fine f9r my friends t9 6e regaling the tale 9f my adult alternian alternate wh9 lived t9 inspire change, ignite rev9luti9n, start a war, and 6ec9me a martyr after 6eing executed f9r his 6l99d, heresy, and numer9us 9ther reas9ns I’m sure the empire had la6eled generally as his existence and what it had caused, 6ut what is n9t fine is f9r them t9 6e s9 infatuated with the tales 9f an entirely different timeline, with very different issues experienced several th9usand sweeps - 9r an eternity - ag9, that they all9w it t9 6lind them t9 the very real issues 6ef9rus had 6een experiencing in 9UR timeline. Just 6ecause we were n9t dying vi9lently d9es n9t mean the pr96lems 6ef9rus had experienced were any less valid, and it’s unf9rtunate that kn9wledge 9f this “d9u6le” and the pr96lems 9f the past made many even less aware 9f the pr96lems 9f n9w.
would you be comfortable receiving asks pertaining to heavier, more serious topics?
S9 l9ng as the questi9ns I receive a6ide 6y my rules and are n9t made with the s9le intenti9n 9f causing harm, pr9m9ting hate, 9r starting seri9us disc9urse, my ask 69x will remain 9pen t9 additi9nal queries 9f any s9rt and su6ject.
ya like jazz?????????
I'm n9t particularly f9nd 9f it, th9ugh I've listened t9 very little. I h9pe y9u are aware that this is n9t an ask 6l9g. While I welc9me questi9ns, I wasn't expecting quite s9 many.
who do u like????¿¿?
Excuse me?
do you prefer pie or cake? or neither? or both??
69th are fine, th9ugh I d9n't have either with any degree 9f frequency. Is this relevant t9 anything?

Maybe that was my intention. After all, I don’t know you. Maybe this meeting of ours will be unpleasant. Or, purrhaps, you can disprove my doubt and neither of us will have to worry.
:00 While I admit I’m always curious about others and their lives, and doubly curious about life on Beforus (since it’s still rather foreign to me, as a native Alternian) really I was… mostly checking to see what sort of iteration I was speaking to. I’m sure you know by now that you do have an Alternian double.
My name is Felide. Or Meulin, if you’d prefur.
What I meant, th9ugh I understand the implicati9n was extremely vague and it’s my 9wn fault certain readers unaccust9med t9 speaking with me w9uld 6e likely t9 miss it, was s9mething m9re al9ng the lines 9f “that can easily upset 9thers”. If y9u’ll all9w me t9 ela69rate f9r a sh9rt while here; while it is 96vi9us that n9t all greetings are 69und t9 6e g99d, pleasant, 9r even t9lera6le, putting as much 9ut 9n the ta6le can 9ften 6e seen as uninviting - 9r unwelc9meing, whichever y9u prefer. Excluding s9me excessively cheery individuals (and m9re, I’m sure), it can make greetings c9nsidera6ly m9re awkward than they have need t9 6e, and can really limit h9w 9pen any 9ne individual will 6e with y9u - whether it 6e in the initial greeting 9r later 9n d9wn the line. N9w, if y9ur intenti9n is t9 appear mildly unwelc9ming and limit c9nversati9n t9 the p9lite exchange 9f names, titles, and current activities, then 6y all means, c9ntinue as y9u are. That’s fine, and I didn’t mean t9 imply y9u sh9uldn’t, sh9uld y9u s9 want it. 6ut, if y9ur intenti9n if merely t9 stay true t9 the fact that n9t all the meetings y9u have will 6e g99d, y9u might c9nsider a different appr9ach - frankly the 9ne y9u’ve ch9sen is heading slightly m9re d9wn the r9ad 9f pr9m9ting 6ad meetings. N9t even necessarily in the way 9f having imp9lite, mean, 9r 9utright h9stile resp9nses, 6ut in 6rief, unn9ticea6le and unenthusiastic c9nversati9n likely t9 dwindle quickly, resulting in a lack 9f c9mmunicati9n thereafter. Pe9ple are less likely t9 resp9nd negatively when greeted with enc9uragement, anyway. Take my greeter f9r a relatively neutral example. Rather than ackn9wledge the p9tential quality 9f c9nversati9n with the gr9up I was addressing, I n9ted h9w g99d it was t9 meet new c9nversati9n. While it can a6s9lutely 6e implied that it’s g99d t9 meet every9ne, at the same time, I am 9nly really welc9ming the 9pp9rtunity t9 talk, n9t necessarily t9 talk with th9se specific users. 6ut again, it’s y9ur ch9ice, and I really d9n’t mean t9 direct y9u any which way, 9nly make sure y9u are aware.
I did state 6ef9rus as my hatch place in my sh9rt 6i9 page, as well as esta6lish my current general l9cati9n, if y9u were curi9us a69ut that as well. Feel free t9 read it at y9ur earliest c9nvenience - It’s sh9rter than even my entire reply t9 y9u n9w. And I am very aware 9f my gr9wn alternian alternate, yes. I might say “unf9rtunately aware”, 6ut that can caste such a varying degree 9f negativity t9 s9 many individuals, it hardly makes sense t9 d9 s9 anym9re with9ut explanati9n immediately f9ll9wing. His hist9ry has 6ec9me especially p9pular with 9ne friend 9f mine in particular, and it’s 6een making addressing the vari9us issues t9 6e f9und 9n 6ef9rus an increasingly my la69ri9us pr9cess than I even th9ught it c9uld 6e. I mean, seri9usly, y9u w9uld think at least s9me 9f the many issues I c9uld explain in detail a69ut the s9cial system 9f 9ur h9me planet w9uld 6e m9re 96vi9us a pr96lem than c9uld 6e s9 easily 9vershad9wed, 6y the ventures 9f s9me gr9wn alternate wh9 la69red and died in an entirely different timeline, n9 less. N9t t9 undermine the terri6le suffering that had 9ccurred 9r the griev9us issues 9n Alternia itself, 6ut it wasn’t exactly 9ur m9st pressing issue, and isn’t still. 6ut s9 t9 rem9ve all c9nfusi9n, I am the "insuffera6le" versi9n 9f that particular alternate, th9ugh I had played sgru6 t99 early t9 acquire any such 9fficial title. It's merely a nickname that is m9st 9ften applied t9 the "6ef9rus alternates" 9f the d9u6le y9u had descri6ed.
