Observation: Life-cycles in EM

deleteddeletedover 11 years ago

In the short time I've been here on EM, I have made a few observations regarding the standard life-cycles of an EM player. I will record here my findings thusfar:

Player #1 - "Interesting, but not for me" : Joins EM > Gets yelled at for being a stupid noavi > Stops playing EM

Player #2 - "Too much, too fast" : Joins EM > Constructs uber profile and friends list in less than 1 hour > Play EM constantly in the next 48 hours > Not enough attention > Stops playing EM

Player #3 - "I have a bf/gf! Woop!" : Joins EM > Gradually works up games and decent profile > Gets a person to fall madly in love with online > Intermittently logs onto EM to talk to- and play their favorite setups with said loved one > Never leaves EM and never meets IRL

Player #4 - "I'm gonna be the best trollollol evar" : Joins EM > Troll > Eventually gets banned/bored > Repeat with new alt

Player #5 - "Seriously, don't f*** up my stats" : Joins EM > Gonna get the best score evar > Spends more time yelling at people in ranked games than playing said games

Player #6 - "Social butterfly" : Joins EM > Makes friends in unranked games > Spends time on random profiles > Skype a lot > Spends time on the forums... a lot > Coup d'etat on chat > Never leaves EM

Player #7 - "I am God" : Joins EM > (Try to) Become mod > "I will rule all of EM" > Never leaves EM

Are we simply here to follow these cycles, or will someone, someday, break this cycle and deliver us all into a new brilliant era of EM?

(This research has been conducted independently and without bias)

I think I'm more of a passive player. I play to win, but I also try to contribute back through mentorship/discussions.

Also, I would add a type:
The Thread Addict - Joins em > plays a few games, meh > joins forums > only does forums > never leaves XD
you haven't even been on the site for 12 months, and probably the forums for 2 months how are u trying to make implications on people who forum post lol

most of the thread addicts are former 5's and 7's, or current 4's. not many people have any interest in the forums until they have been around a while.

Do people actually hook up on via EM? Seems like a bad decision.

What about the EM player, who joined epic mafia because they were tired of the slow pace and lack of games in forum based mafia. They don't play for any social reason, because most people on EM are anti social or introverts, so who wants to be friends with them. They play comp because it is much more fun than ranked.
