My favorite friend request ever

[dichuy]

Let me start out by saying I HATE when I'm asked to be friends when the person hasn't spoken a word to me. I just click "No" and be done with it. Soooo:

Friday night I was finishing up the new weapons quests when I docked on Tortuga to repair my ship. A Not: 8 girl asked to be my friend and I declined. To my surprise she whispered to me "I'M GOING TO REPORT YOU!" and ran off hitting the space bar over and over to make herself jump. So I thought I would introduce this young lady to manners. I answered, "I'm sorry, I don't become friends with someone whom I haven't spoken to yet." Her reply was "You're stupid." I'm just laughing and I typed, "Why would I want to be friends with someone who is mean to me and is going to report me for choosing not to be friends with someone I haven't spoken with?" and I headed to the dock to get back on my ship. She tells me "All the people in my guild like me and I'm in one of the BIGGEST guilds ever so you should be my friend." I decided to be a bit of a be-ach and said, "I was a beta tester for this game and was a guild member of THE biggest guild on beta." I decided to wait on the dock to see what she would say. She asked what a beta tester was and I explained. She then begged me to be her friend saying "come on, be my friend, I've had a bad day and already got slapped in the face.". Then she said, "you'll love my friend, they are the same level as you (32)." I politely declined they set sail into the sunset. Too funny.

Just thought I'd share that as it still makes me chuckle.

Funny! At least she talked back to you though. Whenever I pose the "and why should we be friends, we haven't even spoken yet" question, I get blank stares and silence

[Samantha Wildhound]

its just a game to me so i dont worry much about invites.

so i accept, and when they log off, i delete em, unless they make an effort to talk to me and get to know me during the time they are on. as thats the whole purpose of being someones friend i thought..

[Dr. Zeppers]

Perhaps you should have told her that you are not in her guild, and that choosing friends based on an affiliation is foolhardy. You select your friends based on who YOU like, and not whom OTHERS like.

I give them the question about why should I be your friend, and 9 times out of 10... they run off!

Added: I agree with Samantha

I to always click no, if I've been doing something with them, whether we have talked or not, and they seem to be respectful of me and understanding of the game, I typically say yes, and in some cases propose the friendship myself

I havn't had any one throw a temper tantrum like that with me yet lol but I have had some little boys try to start following me everywhere I go, a couple actually were already on my friendslist(probably from my first couple days playing I suspect) , they are no longer on my friends list lol.

as the game tell u chose ur friends wisely, it ur choice to pick not ther , i have no problem saying no , sound to me u made the right choice lol

[Aliese]

That's pretty funny! I've had lots of random friend requests, but no one ever has ever said anything to me when I've said no...which is my usual response.

I used to do the accept then delete when they signed off, but I felt bad about that so I don't do it anymore. Nowadays I'm just very selective on who I friend, and clean up my friends list from time to time based on who I haven't seen online in a long time, who I haven't played with in a long time, who I don't remember (lots of those [darn similar names...] LoL), and who has annoyed me by TPing to me without asking.

Really, there are only a few people I would actually consider game friends on my list.

Just an FYI: I'm 47 so am able to sit back and find humor in how the kids play. And as most have said, they usually don't answer if you ask why I should be their friends. But for her to have replied that she's reporting me the moment I clicked "NO" was too funny. I wanted to tell her Disney has more important things to worry about but I needed to get dinner started.

I have to say I don't get too many friend request lately...then again I always pick quiet servers.

[shadowypirate]

Do what i do, ask them something totally off the wall.

Like, "what's the capitol of South Dakota?" If they can't answer, say," got to know that to be my friend". If they do answer, say,"sorry, but people who know to much can't be my friends"

[Chris]

Pierre is the captitol of south dakota now can i be your friend ROFL

i just say no and move on with my life if i am mad i yell at them if they talk back i have a good ole time

Once in tortuga, I got sent to jail, and there wuz this 3rd level guy asking an 11th level girl to be his girlfriend, good thing is she said no! But then he asked me to be his friend and said, ya wanna be my girlfriend? So i used some advice from my friends and said, give me ten reasons why. Really :Odd

[Angel]

I would laugh if just asking that question would get you banned.....not laugh persay at you but at Disney. Cause "your giving out personal info" even though your not. I usually do the general, and X the box. Once in a while I'll get a stick up my ...... and ask why should I be friends if they dont even have the courteousy to say hi first.

[AdmiralSavvy]

Here's what I do, I click no and continue my life. Decline, move on. But I always found it funny when people ask why not and try to force me to be their friend.

[Lady Freckles]

LOL - I also refuse friend requests from randoms that just run up to me and click the friends button without saying a word.

This dude didn't even bother to try to friend me, he just wanted info ...

I was away from the computer and had left my character facing a wall in PR, came back to some guy (level 8 or 9 iirc) repeatedly asking me if I was a member. I contemplated just walking away, then answered him and said yes, I was a member. He then asked me the same thing 3 more times so I told him, "Yes, I'm a member and I've answered you 3 times already." Guy then says, "You are, can I have your ID and pass then." My response...HAHAHAHA, you just got yourself reported, as I took a screenshot. Figured he got himself a case of THE BAN.

I tend to only make friends with people I've played with and had fun with and would love to see a 'turn friends off' option like we have on TT.

I like to get to know the person by talking a lot first. Sometimes noob friend requests are funny, though.
