Title: Mate Beggar Opinion (Also Letting Out Some Anger. xD)
Post by: Sandfury on July 01, 2014, 05:20:19 am
Now, I'm not going to be saying names. But here we go.
This is my opinion/rant on people who Mate Beg.
We all have encountered a mate beggar once. Following the lines of "Plz be my mate" or "I like you". Sometimes you can spot Mate Beggars with the blink of an eye. Some are more subtle.
 I guess this is now a guide with my opinions. xD
The obvious mate beggar is someone who spams the movie chats, or yells "I NEED A MATE!" This can clog up the chat, and can lead to many people attacking them, or blocking them.
Some are a bit hidden. I'm pretty sure a lot of us have created a male to get all the ladies, but is it attracting annoying people?
It can. And it does. You have someone whisper/talk to you. They strike up a conversation, then two minutes later; BAM! "Will you be my mate?"
I'm sorry, what? I just met you.
That's that. You back away slowly, then run for the hills.
Some people MAY actually become their mate, and that's fine.
Now to what lead me to create this topic.
You sit at a Mate Center, bored. You pass every time you go up. Then someone disconnects. Five minutes later, they return with someone IDENTICAL to your character. Yeah, I know I don't own the markings, the colors, etc., but it's REALLY annoying when they copy you so they can "increase" their chances of becoming your mate. So you tell them what you think, then they say "Oh no, I'm not doing that." And they run off.
I wanted to pull my hair out. That REALLY grinds my gears.
I mean, I'm FINE with people becoming my species to try to do that, but when you copy my character in general, that's REALLY annoying. It does take me a long time to think out my characters, and try to make them unique. Then that happens, and I become like the other wolves.
I guess that's it. What are your opinions on this Mate Beggar stuff? Was I too harsh on them?
Anyways, thanks for reading this. ^U^

i think mate beggars can be really annoying however if you turn them away nicely they shouldn't put up too much of a deal. you shouldn't get mad because i think that they are young kids who are just looking for a friend, or someone to roleplay and have pups/cubs with. i think the copiers are trying to get your attention although it attracts negatively. frankly, i think it's like trying to mate with a sibling. but this is just my opinion c:

so, really no offense but yes you may be a little harsh for the mate beggars. i'm pretty sure they're 9-12 years old and don't know much.

This happened to me an hour or so ago actually.
I was on Maxwell and he had gotten dragged into the MC, which he dislikes. But when everything got out of control, he left. And as I was making him walk away, some chick whispered me, saying: hey i like you, your character is cool, lets have pups okay?
And I'm like...um...no.
But yeah, it is very annoying, mainly if you are minding your own business, though I've noticed if you turn them down bluntly, they will go away and people will probably get a laugh out of it.

No, no I don't think you were to harsh. I also dislike Mate Beggars, Though I do understand what Spottedbears is saying about most of them being children, so we should also take the into perspective.

But this is why I hate mate beggars.

I once got some mate beggar come to me when I was just cruising with some mates minding my own business and he went on like this.
"please be my mate, I love you, I can't live without you! You are so beautiful, I need you! I don't want to live without you" blah, blah blah, and no matter what excuse I tried to give him he would just reply with stuff like "Oh no I can wait, I can handle that cause I love you! I don't mind if you don't get on very much" blah, blah, blah. His spelling and grammar were also terrible to the point where I couldn't hardly understand him either.
This went on to the point where everyone else in the area just told him to sod off and leave me alone, and even then he wouldn't give up! This whole thing went on for like a whole 15 minutes or more.
And I have had a few other strange mate begging experiences as well.
(Needed to rant about that)

So yea, also what you stated with the clogging up the chat, and randomly whispering you or randomly trying to sent you a friend request.
I mean it's all fine asking someone nicely like once and accepting it if they reject you, but begging for mates is just out right annoying, especially when they persist like that guy.

That's pretty funny. xD I think I was That Mate Center. It's a hard job. q.q

Oh my. I can actually put myself in your shoes there. I hope that doesn't happen to me, ever. XD

I haven't dealt with "mate beggars" often, however I've dealt a fair share as well - heck, I was even one myself at one point or another (I was about eleven, and could hardly type a normal sentence).
The last "mate beggar" I saw was about three months ago. They were very persistent, just as Lexzah descibed but not as bad, and kept bothering me. (I eventually blocked them, but being me, an hour or so later I took them off my block list.)
They kept Whispering me things like "Want to be my mate? I'm literate, realistic, and I can join a group and download a map, just for you. <3" (Their actual grammar and spelling was far from this, but I've made it readable.)  I was horribly annoyed, but politely told them to go away.

However, it wasn't like that. They kept Whispering me, over and over. "Aw, babe, why are you upset?" I grumbled to myself before trying to be polite once more by sending them another reply - I couldn't hold my temper, but I made sure not to swear or come off as too rude. "I'm sorry, but I'm not your 'babe', and I'm upset because you keep on badgering me."
They kept on going with calling me 'sweet names', which was honestly creepy since I had no idea how old they were, and it could've been coming from a nine-year-old or a forty-three-year-old for all I know.

After three more Whispers from them, I just blocked them, annoyed, I decided to log off either way. I came back after about an hour, and unblocked them, guessing that they'd leave me be by then - which they had.

As stated by Wolfie, I tend not
to attract these people very often as I
usually don't go to Bonfire or sit around in
places by myself. If I am ever in Bonfire,
I am usually visiting a friend or something.
The lag. The beggars. No No no.

I do remember making a male character
for the first time ever to shake things
up a bit and perhaps roleplay as
a male (Which I have never done.)
When I got on this character I
unknowingly went to Bonfire
to the back part full of plants. My char-
acter was a German Shepard, I believe.
There were other Sheps there, so yeah.
Anyways, five minutes later, I have at
least three whisper conversations going
on with the other dogs that are fishing
for compliments. Annoying.

I feel your pain.



Oh yes, and also, shadowsofthedark, she's my friend too. o3o

Well in my opinion i don't think you were harsh at all, i honestly can't stand mate beggers ether it gets really annoying at times, Even times when you let them down nicely you get those ones that takes no for an answer. I hate those ones when you are gone for a certain amount of time, like to get a drink and then when you get back you get ether a wolf or lion going close to you with out your consent and i will tell you one of the experiences i had might be the best one, i went to bonfire once to meet up with one of my friends and this mate begger comes up to me asking me "Can u be my mate? plz." and i was letting her down easily telling her nicely, that my character already had a mate and then she started raging saying. "U cheated on me, u broke my heart cheater." seriously your character just met mine and yet you are claiming that we were a couple? Plus don't forget those ones that think they are in a real life relationship.

Exactly. Some people, as you mentioned, take the game / "mating business" too seriously, and think that it's really happening in real life (I actually think I've read up on that and it's an early-staging mental disease or something like that, I honestly can't remember exactly). And, I have another story that happened with me when a "mate beggar" wanted a mate with one of my characters.

Well, the "beggar" was gradually getting closer to my character (River), but they weren't like the "average 'mate beggar'". They were actually smoothly role-playing into the question, and it went something like this (though names are changed as I can't remember, same with the words):
Sasha: The wolf meandered around the area, finally catching the scent of a male. Her ears lowered a bit and a slight smile rose to her face. She crawled closer to him, pretending not to notice him.
(I was casually chatting with a friend, not really paying attention.)
Sasha: Sasha cleared her throat, sitting down and fluffing her coat to try and grab the male's attention. "Hello." She cooed softly.
River: whatohhi))
Sasha: She sat awkwardly, getting madder and madder. "Um, hello?!"
River: ?? what are you talking about?))
Sasha ((Why aren't you role-playing with me? >())
River: um, okay?)) River gave a slight huff before turning around. The cocky grin of his plastered his face together, atleast until he saw the female who obviously wanted /his/ attention. He couldn't believe it. /She/ wanted /his/ attention. He turned back around and ignored her.
At that point, "Sasha" decided to storm off, but I was practically dead with laughter.

You're right as my glitchy tongue. I am along side Lord Sura, I am the Lordess.

But you're right, I mean, wat? I've never encountered a mate beggar as Cubby... But, is it okay if I say... [blushes]
I actually like when people mate beg me... I mean, I do say no, but for some strange reason I like waiting for someone to mate beg me. It's strange, I know... but... yea. I think I like attention too much, yea, I'm crazy xD
