GIZZIE!!!

*BIG HUGS*

Remember when we first met??
We were on the same team in that mafia game during the Valentines Day event on Mene!

I still remember that game lol
It was intense!!!

Isn't it weird how the people we are friends with online seem to drift in and out of our lives and we're always super happy to see them but we're not super concerned when we lose contact with them unless it is super unexpected or something? Like I have friends I will go actual years between talking to and we still will start up a conversation we were having back then just like it never stopped.

[Kory]

It's definitely crazy how that happens!
I've been trying to make sure I stay in contact with my friends I've not talked with in a while. I have (had?) a friend I was really close to for a long time. She was very sweet and she even sent me a homemade quilt she made. And a bible. Although I never read it, I thanked her so much. I think she even wrote in the bible, "I love you, Ava".

I tried hard to stay in contact with her when she left the forum we were a part of... We communicated through email for a good few months. The last email she sent me, she was telling me that she was having heart issues. She was moving too, so that stress didn't help her heart. I sent like three emails since then. I'm so worried about her. We don't have any mutual friends anymore, since we both left that forum. I worry about her every day. I would hate to think she passed away and I never got to say goodbye. :(

I had another friend I used to talk to via Skype. We weren't the closest, but she was super kind. We would talk on and off for a while. But we lost contact...

The next thing I know, like three months later. She ended her life. I found out from a mutual friend who had her on facebook. Also, they posted her obituary on that forum too.

I felt guilty as hell because I should have messaged her more often to let her know that I still cared.

All of us came to the conclusion that her death must've been accidental. We were all on a schizophrenia board, so all of us could completely understand those suicidal urges. Although, this woman was very erratic and from what we all gathered, it was likely she stopped taking her medication... and one thing led to another.

It's hard to keep in contact with people when they leave a site, or the forms of communication change and change. But I find that usually, when I do write a friend I haven't talked to in a while, they're always happy to talk! And we continue on as though there was never a break :D

I'm so happy to see Gizzie again!!!

[Death by Mirrors]

Oh yes, I absolutely agree. While I'm still a lot better at keeping in touch with my online friends than real ones (I lost contact almost immediately with my school buddies or the neighbourhood kids when we "grew out of it") I am still missing some very smart and funny people I haven't talked to for years.

But at the same time whenever I happen to meet a former online friend again, it's indeed so much easier to take up the conversations just where we left off.

Every once in a while I get the urge to play epic mafia again, but it's very short lived since I don't know anyone in that community anymore

[Kory]

I really enjoyed the mafia game me and Gizzie were in!
I met a lot of cool people through that game.

Unfortunately, it got really intense eventually!
Like, we were all taking it super seriously and it was all we all thought about!

[Death by Mirrors]

Never played mafia, but I fondly remember a teamwork game where players had to defend themselves against zombie hordes for as long as they could. And I once played some witch hunter game that was pretty similar to mafia. Never been good at that one though - my comrades always chose to burn me at the stake...

[Kory]

Aww!

Teamwork is hard! It was like that when we did the mafia game too...
It was kinda unfair because the mafia members all knew who the other mafia members were,
And the rest of us were in the dark, so all of us turned on each other while the mafia members supported each other...
>:T

[MonBon]

That's kind of the point lol

[XoGizmooX]

Oh yeah the mafia game I remember playing that .... I need to go on Mene and see if I can find Amanee ??? (I can't remember how to spell her ign it's been too long) but we need to bring her here Ava

[XoGizmooX]

[mdom]

[bluebird]

the avatar site burnout is real

[Death by Mirrors]

Sure is.
I remember I used to be at like 10 different avi sites when I was younger (most of which are already dead by now). Nowadays it's more "yeah, have an account there... not logged in since a year"
