Master is looking for a second to join our family at some point.  Last week he was in a CM chat room when a young girl caught his eye and he started a conversation.  Everything seemed to be good except she seemed a bit eager to be collared.  Next day when he looked for her she disappeared.  Profile gone etc.  Today he talks to another girl and asked if they could talk off line.  Guess what?  Same girl.  Now either she didn't remember his name or she's that stupid. 

Not really a question just a rant.

I don't really understand why you're surprised or angry. You seem like an intelligent lady that understands the medium that we are communicating on. People disappear. People reappear. People lie. People tell the truth. It's much easier to do all of these things when you're safe behind a keyboard and a monitor.

Status: offline 		I know that there are game players on here.  Lord knows I've run into my share.  I'm not really angry about it cause I was really skeptical when Master told me about her wanting a collar.  I'm just floored given that everything has happened since Thursday of this week. Did she think he wouldn't recognize the yahoo address? 

Of course I'll never get the whole game playing on the internet anyway.  Seems like a waste of good energy to me.

Oops forgot that I was logged in on his account.  Oh well. hehehe  Sorry Master

Status: offline 		yeah, it's frustrating.   I disagree with spanklette though - just because it's the reality of the medium we are communicating on doesn't mean it's right and doesn't mean it should be accepted.  Spam and viruses are also the reality of the medium we are communicating on but we don't just put up with them. 

i try and deal with online players by simply not talking about sex/bdsm very much when i'm first in touch with people... it means that with nothing to 'flick their bean' over most online players vanish of their own accord before they've had a chance to string me along!

Agreed agreed! I feel the same way about the way some treat others in this forum, the behaviour does not have to be accepted although it is. Alas.

'Flick their bean' lolol I've never heard that expression before and it's adorable!

Status: offline 		Usually the games are much more refined or at the least ones that I've run into.  Talk with someone, things seem to click so you start exploring wants and limits more over time.  Till eventually there is talk of meeting.  That's when the real fun starts.  Dates are set, plans are supposedly made etc then something suddenly comes up.  And this will happen as many times as the victim will allow it.  The part that floors me about this one is that she didn't have the brains to at least give a different yahoo address the second time around.  I mean hey if you are gonna be a game player at least be smart about it.

Status: offline 		Are you surprised?  They only talked for a day- did you guys get your expectations up too high too fast?  Have you been reading the poly boards about how many couples have tons of funny/tragic stories along this line?

She doesn't need to be smart about it- she's obviously got enough going to attract your dom.  She might be getting what she wants- new attention every night from a guy just drooling over her possibilities.  That can be a real rush for some.

LOL I know that it's not REALLY funny but...well, you have to see the humor in it.

Sure, I can buy the concept that it shouldn't be tolerated...but how do you propose to stop the behavior on an internet forum?
 
My solution is to accept the reality that this is a medium where many things take place that would not take place in real life. I've accepted that reality, and until an alternate solution comes along that's where I'll stay.
 
What you suggest is an online "utopia" where everyone is safe from the "big bad players", but you've offered no solution along those lines. Perhaps, that's because there isn't one. Your personal solution is a valid one, in fact, it's my solution, as well. But, it doesn't fix the larger problem that players can and do exist.
 
And, sometimes people aren't as nefarious as one would like to believe...they just don't know what they want.

They go in the same pile as people who dont' bother to read my profile prior to messaging me.

It's a huge waste of time, both mine and theirs, I'm not interested.

The only way I can understand it, is that their life is so unhappy that they have to make their fantasy world more interesting.

Status: offline 		I once had a real-life marriage proposal from a man I went to visit long-distance, when I returned home the next day to begin doing the things that had to be done to move to him, he suddenly quit calling me and deleted his profile. Days later he wrote an email from another account explaining he was under too much pressure (but HE was the one who had unexpectedly begged me to marry him!). Okaaaaaay buddy whatever.... lolol.

You're right, I don't expect this post to cause all those game players out there to suddenly give up their nasty little habit and play nice, just relaying a story that happens all too often.
