Sooo – what are we doing here? No – don’t worry I’m not being philosophical – I’m serious. Why are we here wasting our time in this new-fangled virtual thingamabob? People go out with their friends, have a great time – meet someone nice, and have sex. Sorry - that has no relevance to this article – I’m just stating the facts of life again. But anyway – they come home, sit on the computer and bore themselves to death without reason. “Damn ‘beans” – they not only invent a machine that can bore you, they make it so that you can then alphabetise, highlight, link, e-mail, save, backup - and upload your boredom to the Internet. These utterly pointless websites, which are solely designed to eradicate that newfound boredom, do absolutely nothing other than allow you to read shit like this.

First there was ‘Planetarion’ which, like a virus, takes over your life - and slowly enough always kills you through lack of sleep. To pile on the utter shiteness of this, they then expect for you to pay money for the ‘enjoyment’ - and they cut you off if you decide not to pay. It’s like a parasitic worm that let’s you get attached and then slowly feeds of your waking time. The only reason we join ‘the game’ is to meet people to talk to, but the whole point of life is to go out and to meet real people!! What are the chances that you would ever meet the ‘fit’ girl from Sweden – and even if you did. 1) What are the chances that she’d be fit? And 2) what are the chances that she even is a girl and not some foolish monstrosity like Gareth!

Here (well just below here) is the reason for using Planetarion – as given by ‘UG the Caveman’ – also known as Gareth: (Check his profile)

Here!! (Finally):

“Investigating why I'm still playing Planetarion

I was thinking; what is it that holds me to Planetarion? Why do I spend in excess of 8 hours a day in this cyber world, moving fleets of theoretical ships through theoretical worlds? Destroying imaginary foes, in a game that has no visuals and a 2d interface.

Where game play isn’t that great, the story line is average and bugs that are being straightened out. So why am I still obsessed with this game? Why am I writing this? What is the point of it all?

And then it struck me, it’s the community. The community makes or breaks an online game. Planetarion even though it is now P2P is still popular, and will be because of its amazing community.

Planetarion has a community that doesn’t care what background you come from. You could be a mafia don, a black person, a Muslim, gay, a member of the IRA, rich or poor, thin or fat. Whatever you are, others never judge you on any of that. You are accepted for who you are, what your personality is like.

That’s why I escape into this wonderful online world each, and every day. Where I meet and chat with some of my best friends, who live all over the world. Planetarion is a world where I can "work" and play without being prejudged. But be accepted for who I am.

So when I have had a hard day I escape to this world, where you are not prejudged...That’s why I’m still here 2-and-a-half years on. That’s why I'm playing P2P (Pay 2 Play) Planetarion.

To show you how utterly depressing planetarion can be – read the following forum post written by myself – $esso Dio, when began my second round – in Jay’s galaxy. What a complete mistake that was….

"The only thing that keeps me life together is PA, i have no girlfriend, i spent all day at BT waiting to come home so that i can go out, then when i go out its so totally bullshit, i wish that i was either at home or at BT. My life is meaningless. The only "guaranteed" thing in me life PA - is being ruined as the whole game slowly falls apart. I have no money. I have no time, i have no life -- its all meaningless..... and throughout the chaos - Devastation is the only thing that’s 100% certain.. Why do i bother. I try to bring order from chaos as MOD, but nobody bothered to listen. I asked politely, i asked firmly, then i swore and for trying, i was kicked. So out of spite i organised the rebellion. And it all went downhill from there. the only player that i ever talked to was exiled. Hes gone, james (teste) has gone. Id love to leave but id end up killing myself from boredom. Everybody calls me boring. I don't like to be boring, but nothing ever happens arround here. I try anything new and everybody just takes the piss. -- Whats the point? I dont know. Where do i go?, what do i do, i have so much time and so little to do. and yet i never sleep. i wonder if thats it.. not enough sleep - getting depressed. Boredom sinks in. I sit at a computer all day and all night. And people say im not active enough. I go out and come back early so that i can check my account, but people still say im not active enough, my friends all say im boring cos im on the internet too much. They call me a computer freak, to tell the truth i find computers quite boring. The only reason i talk to people and play pa is so that i get to meet new people. thats somthing u dont get to do in this hellhole. ..... And they still say -- im not active enough ..."

To make a point clear – this was during round 4 in march 2001. There is further reference to PA (Planetarion Administration) in the march section of the annual review. Also – this version has been edited to make me sound more unhappy and less erratic (i.e. less spelling errors)

So – now you see my point! But neway – back to the point in question. We are allowed space to.. to.. release our innermost thoughts and all we do is waste is although we are not aware that we are wasting it. Instead of making petitions to stop world hunger – prevent famine – and make people less thin and dieing. We choose to send dodgy junk mail to each other, read mass mailings as to how it is possible to enlarge the size of my penis by 2” (by sending only $19.99 to some person from southern Utah), and waste it on ‘family WebPages’. I myself of course have a wicked* website. Just follow the link and you will find almost all of my innermost secret thoughts revealed to the whole of cyberspace.

*Note the sarcasm

And so – like al of my other articles – I show you that I am in fact a maliciously pointless fool – and you feel ‘less bored’ due to your ‘enlightened surf’ through cyberspace.

But then there is one valid point to my article – Cybersex is so unbelievably pointless – so if anybody ever asks you for ‘cyber’. Just say yes and make sure that you eventually end up writing ‘I urinate on your chest’. That’ll be sure to get rid of those Swedish transsexuals (also known as Lawrence wheeler – check his profile too)

Still utterly pointless and guaranteed to that point!!
