ROFL. - Rooh, on 10/12/2007, -3/+134Hi ^^ I'm Rooh.
I just want to try and eliminate all the unknowns so we can maybe have a real discussion here?
And the jokes were quite funny, actually... you all are entitled to your own opinions, and I knowyou're not the first nor the last that will talk about the possible stupidity of mine and Shinzo's situation.
But before the discussion continues to where everything is mere speculation, I thought I'd shed some light here.
Firstly, Shinzo and I both have real lives. I work for a bank as an Accounting Clerk. I go out with my friends almost every Saturday night, and I've had many real life relationships. Shinzo has also had many real life relationships, and I bore witness to his break up with Gemma as you might have read. This is both mine and his first and only online relationship, and honestly, I love it.
But I would also like to clerify something someone said about getting off the computer because I had 3,000+ posts? As I said, I work for a bank... I sit here at a computer all day, I can't really stop. In between processing payments or some odd job, I will go to the forums and post. I didn't know having a high post count meant I had no life, because trust me, I do.
Also, yes, we're young, but that's by today's standards. Why does anyone care, really? I'm 21, plenty old enough to choose who I want to be with. I have talked to Matt (Shinzo) every single day since the day we met. It was an instant connection. I talk to him on the phone all the time, I see him on webcam... I mean, it's really not like all I'm going by is text.
And yes, next month I'm flying to England to visit him. And then hopefully by March I'll have moved over there. If something happens... then it wasn't meant to be. But as far as I'm concerned, I'm in love, and I'm flying over to meet the man I could want to spend the rest of my life with. Proposing to me the way he did fit his character to a tee, and I love his character. Like many of you have said, it doesn't matter how he does it, so long as he did. And he did. And it was awesome.
But I do admire honest opinions ^^
And though I don't believe in divorce, I will be demanding ½ of all his in-game assets and EXP should something come up~ - nickconsumtion, on 10/12/2007, -2/+128Okay boys, time for a public service annoucement.
Whether via verbal, written, or any other form of communication, the following words should never appear in any marriage proposal:
1. *****
2. Rape
3. Suicide
4. Ex, or any names, real or otherwise, of ex-girlfriends.
We now return to our regularly scheduled program. - wheelerlt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+126Hahaha, do you think she'll get half his RAM when they split??
- sirket, on 10/12/2007, -2/+106I can just imagine the bride telling her kids about the proposal:
"It was a beautiful day- the sun was shining, the trees were in bloom, and the Orcs had been vanquished."
Hey- as long as _she_liked it then it's all good. - Nobi-Wan, on 10/12/2007, -4/+94You mean again?
"I got drunk and attempted suicide, at which point yuo decided to talk to me again."
Two words of warning for the girl he's proposing to.
MENTALLY UNSTABLE. - Sirocco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+85Plus 2/3 of all drops and EXP.
- oldtactics, on 10/12/2007, -3/+83Aw, she's witty. Let's keep her.
- nesibus, on 10/12/2007, -4/+80"When I was dating Gemma" - online g/f....loser
"We fougt before, over Kaikagome." - online g/f.....more of a loser
"Anyway, I messed things up with Kai and I was depressed." - online g/f....getting plain pathetic
"I had lost the both of you." - They must have signed off of MSN...
"You sound like a man, are you a peadophile trying to rape me?" - he didn't even know if it was a girl...yet he felt emotionally wrapped up in....her/him.
"I finally got the nerve to ask you to be mine, you said yes." - Yes...I will turn on my computer with 120volts and type to you through MSN....I'm all yours.
"I thought I knew what love was when I met my ex" - He knew his home row...and all letters A-Z...and internet symbols of expressing love - estvir, on 10/12/2007, -5/+79Joseth, please, go back to the forum.
There are many people on Digg; insensitive people, people who will make lighthearted jokes, complete jerks, friendly people, etc.
Stop trying to label all Digg users as horrible people and insulting us and if you honestly expect these 2 to not be made fun of, you are 'new to the internet.'
I guarantee they will be made fun of on here, /., reddit and every other site/forum it's posted on. There will also be people who think it's really romantic, wish them well, etc.
All in all, it's the freaking internet and stop taking people's comments so seriously. Who cares if some jerk says something mean on the INTERNET and on a site like Digg.
Seriously man, get over it. Oh, you'll probably make yourself exhausted replying to all us THOUSANDS insenstive jerks on the INTERNET on the major sites, smaller ones, etc.
Personally, I think it's pretty pathetic. But hey, that's what I think and does it really matter ? Nope. That's the glory of opinions, the internet and not caring what random people say. - moofer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+70If they get divorced, who's going to get pwnership of the house?
- WhereAmI, on 10/12/2007, -3/+71Is he e-serious or really serious?
- Crossmenjeff, on 10/12/2007, -1/+68in game marriage is between a man and a woman. Not between elf and dwarf, or cylon and human, or a frickin wookie and an ewok.
oh i could go on... but i don't care. If that's what they want then let them do it. maybe they'll get some exp out of it. - rawM3TAL, on 10/12/2007, -2/+71"I fell in love on the internet, once.
It turned out he was really about 20 years older then me, and wanted to come and rape me.
I dont rely on e-love anymore." -Shnooks
Hahha, best post in that damn thread. Jesus christ. wat a nub. - WarPirate, on 10/12/2007, -4/+65dude he is not a nerd. Nerds run linux.

But yeah, I guess, congrats in advance. Not that I approve, but my opinion doesn't matter.
Shizno:
"Meh, I've been in love before, and that wasen't even half of what I feel for Rooh.
So whatever. With or without your little comments I don't give a *****." - He typed a bunch of hearts to another, but now he types hearts and xoxoxo.
Rooh:
"And don't you all worry, I typed Shinzo a very long and romantic reponse on MSN." - She means cybersexxxxxx. She let him stick his =D sign in her uppercase O or lowercase o in the rear. - user123, on 10/12/2007, -4/+61Shinzo appears to be Emo. I wonder if the wedding will require those attending to be dressed in standard Emo attire ...
- ez12a, on 10/12/2007, -3/+57...what if rooh's a man?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+58Joseth:
You're not understanding what we're laughing about. See, this guy never even MET the girl, and yet he proposed to her. You know what the problem with that is? He has NO IDEA what she's really like, and she has no idea what HE is really like. I'm not saying they're lying to each other, but what I am saying is that people act differently online and in real life, and this difference is subconscious. The shyest, awkwardest person in the world can be a sexually-assertive badass on the Internet, and no one would know the difference until they met them.
This isn't really a problem when you're just friends with someone, but when the whole point is that you want to spend the rest of your REAL WORLD life with them, the person's personality becomes pretty goddamn important.
I found my girlfriend online, too. In a chat room. You know why I still consider her my girlfriend? Because I met her. In person. And not just once, but I continue seeing her. In person. I spend time with her in person. I go out on dates with her in person. You don't think this makes a huge difference? It does. My perception of her changed after meeting her in person, and I'm sure her perception of me changed too. The lucky thing for us is that we liked each other even after the change of perceptions (probably even more so than before). I knew her for nearly a whole year as nothing more than text on the screen and a voice on the phone, longer than THIS idiot. And when we finally met for the first time, our relationship entered a completely different level.
So go ahead, have your little raging out-lash at us. In the end, you're still wrong. Knowing someone in person is HUGELY important if you want to ***** MARRY them, ok? One day you might learn this the hard way, just like these two lovebirds might.
I'm hoping they're gonna be ok and they'll stay together and all that jazz, but frankly, they're goddamn stupid to be talking marriage at this point, and you're a goddamn fool for encouraging them. - Sirocco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+53Divorce in 3... 2... 1...
- TekkaManBladeX, on 10/12/2007, -0/+52It probably took him a lot of +str to say that on a forum. But all that time spent leveling up and collecting +charm items will have been worth it!!!
- ElliotShoe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+52"You will all be invited to the real wedding and stuff, and the ingame wedding. I expect you all to be at the ingame wedding at the very least x.x"
Yes... the ingame wedding.
Although, the text-speech thing was pretty damn good.... if he said it in real lifemaybe. - Popdmb, on 10/12/2007, -7/+54they had to remove the thread after being dugg for 10 hours, which is roughly 9 hours more than the marriage will last.
- Popdmb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+46@ all
Joseth's having a tough time right now. He hasn't found his special flyer yet. - philomatic, on 02/08/2009, -7/+52Bet she turns out to be a dude
- justice7, on 10/12/2007, -2/+42@Joseth
got dammit man you need to chill
Get it straight, E-Love especially over games is NOT popular. Don't read the comments if you dont approve.
Personally I think you have issues. - Bobombom, on 10/12/2007, -6/+46I'm crying...
Because this is the saddest thing I have ever seen.
I know freedom of expression/choice exists, but proposing on a message board/game is slightly capricious and not forethought much.
You never know, it may work out (and i truly hope it does), but this was a somewhat immature means to ask someone to share the rest of your life with you. - DangerMouse9, on 10/12/2007, -2/+43and after the wedding, my mom can drive us all out for pizza. They have the new dance dance revolution at chuck E Cheese. Maybe mom will let us stay up late and watch R rated movies! I just hope she doesn't come down to the dungeon of pleasure (aka my room in their basement) and ruin the wedding night.
- betterth, on 10/12/2007, -6/+46I disagree, we speak on a completely different level. I used to be a bbs junkie, I modded a quite large one.
It's a lifestyle there. You spend your life on the board, or the game (heh, done that too).
It may seem silly, but to them FlyFF is their world. It's where that couple can live together and be together. It's where they met, where they talk and where they fell in love.
Why shouldn't that world, or the bbs assoicated with it, be where he proposes?
I love it, I think it's great. If you have a girl who could appreciate that, then go for it. It's a different culture though, and while we laugh, we have to recognize that. - InternetUser, on 10/12/2007, -3/+42Welcome to a new low in human civilisation.
- optimo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+40I don't even know what this means, but I will use it anyway:
What an R-TARD - johnhummel, on 10/12/2007, -5/+39Personally, I think it's kind of sweet. Would I do it that way? Probably not, but then again, I've known people to get married at Elvis weddings, I've seen people who proposed over phones because they were going on a long flight and discovered that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with someone else and didn't want to wait.
I did the whole "Horse and Carriage" thing in the middle of winter in Utah. And I think my exact words were "Will you marry me? And please say yes quickly, because I'm freezing my butt off here." Mega romantic? Maybe. Maybe not. But 12 years and 3 kids later, it seemed to have worked just fine.
Yes, the guy did it in a forum. Yes, it's kind of geeky. So what? Whether she accepts or not, he's proven that he's willing to take a very difficult and often scary step to let her know how she feels.
So kudos for him. And if they decide to get married, then may they have lots of geeky sex and generate another spawn of the next generation of nerdom, and be happy do so. And if not, well, hey - at least he tried.
Makes me want to watch "Train Man" again.... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35What can I say... I guess it was love at first type.
- Rooh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+34>.>;; Errr.. is that a proposal? ON A WEB FORUM!?
- adstretch, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35@Joseth
even someone on your own forum is questioning the rationale of proposing on a message-board, and they're of your "in world" group, imagine how ridiculous it sounds to the rest of the world. OF COURSE ITS GOING TO BE MADE FUN OF. If you're happy for them just ignore it, but making something that private, that public is going to draw people of all kinds, many of whom think proposing on a message board is downright silly. - ThePDW, on 10/12/2007, -0/+33Joseth, in the 5 or 6 posts you've made you are really digging yourself into a hole...
- motang, on 10/12/2007, -5/+36That would be hilarious!
- knupso, on 10/12/2007, -3/+36Just go away
- justice7, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33make sure is an epic ring
lol jokes jokes. - drpeppper, on 10/12/2007, -2/+33it REALLY says a lot about your character coming in here and explaining things even tho you didnt have to. I like you, and your attitude towards your situation. It is apparent that both of you arent moles like me and actually have lives.
So, you do have drpepppers blessing. Goodluck, and godspeed. - ElliotShoe, on 10/12/2007, -3/+33Rooh has been found...

Straight from their picture's thread. - MeekSpiffinton, on 10/12/2007, -3/+32@TheAlphaOne
I love how you edited your post and removed the samples REAL activities you previously mentioned. Like the "sports, the beer leagues for sports, the drinking, and the going out with friends to bars". I mean -I- would've edited it out too because it kinda ruins your own post. I mean, you're making fun of someone for not living in the "Reality" when you admittedly spend all your time in "Reality" drugged up to escape it.
Let me clear something up for you though. You're a goddamed loser too. No need to pretend otherwise or hide it w/ edits, we can accept this guy proposing to a girl on a forum (even if we find it humorous), we can accept that you're a loser too (not even a shock to us). After all, this is Digg we don't expect the height of popularity. - ez12a, on 10/12/2007, -2/+30i'm just speechless. more of an embarrassed speechless.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -11/+40And to top it off he actually posted a picture. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v187/InMeShinzo/marryme.jpg
I honestly feel bad for this guy. I hope he doesnt commit suicide or something. The girl did not say yes....or no... bad sign? I think so. - Clbck, on 10/12/2007, -4/+31@TheAlphaOne
News flash! You're on digg! - ChemEng, on 10/12/2007, -3/+29Ill vow my e-ginity...
Or something...
*chuckles* - DangerMouse9, on 10/12/2007, -0/+26can you imagine arranged marriages on there? I'll trade you my Sword of Zaxxillion for your first born daughter, plus 18 gold pieces and the Scarf of Invisibility.
- biff198, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25"I'm S3Rl0|_|S!!!11one"
- Sam0n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+24just thopught I'd point this out:
"Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1335 (1 members and 1334 guests)"
Digg takes an interest in this quite obviously
:-) - Rooh, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26^^ As to Shinzo's proposal being on FlyFFworld... I think he did it because on Flyffworld, in Spam Central, is where I first posted a comment about Shinzo, to which enticed our first conversation on MSN.
I think it fit our situation... and like I said, it fits his character.
About the in-game wedding stuff... yeah. I'm not a big fan of that, but a lot of my friends are X_x It's a big deal to them because if we did get married, it would be in England... and all of my friends on FlyFFWorld are from different parts of the world, and would certainly be unable to attend. So it means a lot to them to be part of something. -
