A lesson in humility

[Shadow Zero]

Humility: hu·mil·i·ty (pronounced hyoo-mil-i-tee or, often, yoo-)

Origin:

1275–1325; ME humilite < L humilitās. See humble, -ty2

—Antonyms

pride. (I say that another one is arrogance)(information was gathered from this place)

 

It was something that I had lacked for a considerable amount of my earlier time on YCM, and was the cause of a very large amount of hatred directed towards me. I excuse neither myself nor my actions, for there is none. I do however, finally make this thread to see what people think of me, both now and then, as well as to, hopefully, show that I am not the same as I was then. Of course, I still have my moments where I am prideful and/or arrogant. It is something that I struggle with, and am hoping to ahve made some progress in.

 

Anyway, I won't ask for forgiveness, for I know that it is something that must be earned over time. Nor will I ask for mercy, although if either of these are shown, I would of course be very grateful. I know that I have done terrible things in the past, and I shall accept any words that are directed towards me, no matter how unkind. If any of you whom I have known and wronged in the past have anything to say to me, I will listen and do my best to do better, as I have before.

 

For those of you who outright dislike and even hate me, that's understandable. It's inevitable that I would have those that would harbor such feelings, and to all I have wronged whilst here in these forums, I am truly sorry. Anyway, I'll listen to anything that anyone has to say now.

[Guest Tainted Black]

I forgive you Shadow. Heck, I did a while ago. (And by that, I mean a month at max XD)

 

... I'm waiting for people from the other thread to point out how I choose to forgive you and not Stiker... Besides, he only did it because he was forced to by his own wager.

[Shadow Zero]

Yeah, I wonder what it'll be like. Anyway, I'll wait for thenm to show up, and listen to what they have to say.

[Legend Zero]

Heck I don't even remember you so I'll forgive you! Now we can be friends!

 

And yes I'm srs

[Andx]

@Black: Let's not let this thread turn out like that one.

 

I must say Shadow, I think a lot of my dislike for you was unfairly placed. I believe I let the ban from R.P.820 enlarge once minor annoyances from you that I could have dealt with rather fine. And then there's the fact that I'm very paranoid about god-modding in RPs and that is something that still came up every now and then with you. Essentially my entire dislike of you has been based off of other things not directly your fault, though I suppose the ban from R.P. 820 was your own fault, and some god-modding. I hardly think that was worthy of your extended stay on my ignore list and my strange dislike for you. I mean we were friends in the Megaverse, I suppose I let my anger with Ryeden out on you somewhat too. I have to say my entire dislike of you has been pretty pathetic.

 

In summary: I have disliked you far more and far longer than I should have and I apologize for it.

 

(You're off my ignore list by the way. As of a few minutes ago.)

[Guest Tainted Black]

What Andx said. Except, I removed you from ignore a LONG ways back. (A month)

[Clair]

What is this, YCM Repentance Day?

 

Anyways, you've never done anything bad to me.

[~ P O L A R I S ~]

I don't believe we've met.

[Uchiha Sasuke XII]

*Looks thoughtfully*...Do I know you? But then again, I forgive you, over the stuff you stated. :P

[Shadow Zero]

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. ^^

 

lol no Clair, this is just something I should have done before, but never really came to mind until recently.

 

Andx, it's good to know that we're on speaking terms again. ^^ And don't worry, I really don't like godmodding either. e_e Notice that I got irritated by it in the war, and fixed my posts when I inadvertently GM'd?

 

Ah jeez, I'm getting ahead of myself. Sorry. Anyway, i'll continue listening now.

[Tempest Dahlia]

Put it like this:

Talk is cheap. lf you're going to change, l want to see it. Let us see if you are really into reforming or not.

 

History says l still don't like you, but let's see if the future will say otherwise.

[Shadow Zero]

Understandable Tempest Dahlia. After all, we've had hardly any contact at all since the previous incident in your rp club. I have been doing what I can to get better though, as Black may have told you at one point. Anyways...*continues to listen*

[Twig]

I love how you make a thread-all about yourself- saying that you have humulity. Apparently, it's important enough to be a thread. It could have easily been a Private Message to the people who you know(Black, Andx, etc...).

 

But that's not half of it. When I clicked on this thread, I expected a discussion about humility. I see a discussion about Shadow. Now all the posts of the people who don't know Shadow are +1 Post Counting.

 

I have nothing against you, Shadow. You don't have to make a public announcement. Not everyone knows you. You just need to change like you promise. If you really needed to say it, again, just PM the people who will actually care.

 

At least make this thread a discussion about humulity and not just about yourself.

[Guest Tainted Black]

Twig, he took the idea from Striker. Who lost a bet he set up

[Twig]

Twig' date=' he took the idea from Striker. [s']Who lost a bet he set up[/s]

 

So...what? That instantly make things all right?

 

I actually didn't see Striker's thread until now, but what I posted remains the same.

[Guest Merciful Idiot]

I barely know you from this Megaman RP.

[Dark]

First Striker, then you.

 

Honestly, YCM drama is just getting really lackluster these days.

[Shadow Zero]

Guys, there are two reasons why I did this, okay? Well, actually three.

 

One: To make a formal public apology to those who, I have wronged in the past.

 

Two: To listen to anything that they might have to say.

 

Three: Some of them likely would have had me on ignore. For example, Andx said that he had taken me off of ignore only a few minutes after reading this. Now how am I supposed to pm someone who won't get the pm?

 

Don't answer that. This is actually kind of personal, for me and some others at least.]

 

Megaman RP? o.O *tries to remember what that might have been*

[LarvaeMothKaiba]

Sooo, who did what?

[Orza]

Sooo' date=' who did what?

I did your mother. ;D

 

But on topic. Forgiven, even though I have no idea what you're on about.

[Pikachu]

I never hated you or disliked you, so how do I forgive?

 

Btw, <3

[Guest Tainted Black]

I think it would be more fitting to just say good job, Pika ^-^

[JadenxAtemYAOI]

What is this' date=' YCM Repentance Day?

 

Anyways, you've never done anything bad to me.

Today is YCM repentance day I guess.

I'm sorry for being a bitch to everyone I was a bitch to that means everyone even you.

[Aqua Girl]

Sigh..... I just want you to stop acting nice to me then when I try to play powers with you, you always act like I'm not worth it, I severely hate that.......((This is an example you always do this to me in other situations to))

 

You act like a kid who wants to play, but when I push you you quit and go to some one else.

 

((I know thats not you playing back when you "deny me the chance" becaous you acted Arogant when I attack you like, "Zero raises his hand and blocks Aqua's Ultimate tech, "Aqua you dont want to anger me' Zero says generating a aura"))

 

It's realy demeaning to me..... and has realy pushed me away from you....

[Shadow Zero]

Ah....sorry about that.

 

Aren't you overexagerating what happens in those circumstances though? Still, I understand what you mean. Sorry.....
