- Hello Betty
- [18/01/2013 3:14:40 PM] BettySpaghetti: Hey TheDuke!
- [18/01/2013 3:15:20 PM] BettySpaghetti: I'm not going to gloat or do anything weird or try to make you feel bad about what you did. That's not very productive and I don't want to be a bully
- [18/01/2013 3:16:01 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: Dont mind if you gloat. I was a total arse
- [18/01/2013 3:16:13 PM] BettySpaghetti: I don't want to be a bully anymore. I know I've said some off hand things about you that were'nt very nice and I want to say I'm sorry too.
- [18/01/2013 3:16:55 PM] BettySpaghetti: And that I forgive you. But I'd also like to know the whole story, from the beginning.
- [18/01/2013 3:17:03 PM] BettySpaghetti: If you don't mind me askin'
- [18/01/2013 3:20:18 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: Alighieri left. I needed a proxy to get mad at and i latched on to you. Even after i said i wasnt mad, i was still mad. But a few months ago, i met my stalker and she brought me out of the depression i was going through. I realised i was angry at myself for letting Doug (Alighieri) just drop off from all contact.
- [18/01/2013 3:20:27 PM] BettySpaghetti: I'm not sure if you have your little pencil on or not so I don't know if you're responding, so I'll respond with my own story in the inter--- oh well there you go
- [18/01/2013 3:22:37 PM] BettySpaghetti: I see, and what specific things did you do or say about me privately or publically? (I'm not asking for word for word transcriptions, but the basic jist)
- I need to know since it's important to me. I need to put that era of pls go behind me. I need closure
- [18/01/2013 3:27:14 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: Spaghetti Soldier was a friend of mine. I said things about your dislike of OC when every Anon is OC. Over the last 6 months I never really spoke about you anywhere that I remember ( Skype maybe) but i know i never started any shit about you in the threads during that time. Everytime something bad was said and "Duke pls go" came up, it wasnt me.
- [18/01/2013 3:27:20 PM | Edited 3:27:59 PM] BettySpaghetti: Anyway, I'll continue with what I was saying.
- When I was first writing AiE I felt really welcome and loved. I've never really had that before on a comparable scale so it was really exciting. Then I was trolled and trolled mercilessly and I felt like I was not only unwelcome, but that I was never really welcome in the first place. I felt hurt. At this time I was also struggling with coming out of the closet as a person of bisexuality in my real life, so that made it doubly hard for me to be criticised for who I was at that particular moment.
- I fell into a depression at that time. I filled it with my relationship with TheScooter but that soon tapered off into a bad breakup. The friends I leaned on for emotional support at the time also left me. So I was alone. Living alone for the first time as well. I got depressed and ate lots of junk and gained some weight. I didn't study as much and I didn't write as much.
- [18/01/2013 3:28:31 PM] BettySpaghetti: Now I'm eating better and studying more
- [18/01/2013 3:28:39 PM] BettySpaghetti: but I had to give up AiE for it
- [18/01/2013 3:28:45 PM] BettySpaghetti: I'm much happier now
- [18/01/2013 3:28:55 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: Hmm...
- [18/01/2013 3:29:15 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: We share similar paths during AiE sorta
- [18/01/2013 3:29:55 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: Both dealt with depression and both giving it ( aie) for a better life
- [18/01/2013 3:29:58 PM] BettySpaghetti: [Friday, 18 January 2013 3:26 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise:
- <<< Spaghetti Soldier was a friend of mine.Maybe, but my woes were caused by your friend
- [18/01/2013 3:31:32 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: But i chose a bad path. I caused hurt upon you and it never made me feel better. I was a horrible person because i was hated for everything and it is no excuse
- [18/01/2013 3:35:28 PM] BettySpaghetti: I forgive you. I know a lot of others that wouldn't, but I will because I think it might give us both a little closure.
- [18/01/2013 3:35:54 PM] BettySpaghetti: Did you listen/watch my leaving AiE video Farcry3 thing?
- [18/01/2013 3:36:15 PM] BettySpaghetti: is that what prompted this whole thing?
- [18/01/2013 3:38:15 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: Shane sent it to me, and jen saw it. She gave me the push to talk to you. I was afraid, admittedly.
- [18/01/2013 3:38:49 PM] BettySpaghetti: I hope you didn't think it was too boring! :D
- [18/01/2013 3:39:33 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: No, it was good. It gave me insight to what you dealt with
- [18/01/2013 3:42:04 PM | Edited 3:42:24 PM] BettySpaghetti: Well that's good. I should also mention that the bullying didn't ruin my life forever (just about 2 weeks). It's not like I was all: CRAWWWLING IIIN MY SKIIINN for months on end, but it did leave a distinct meloncholy, which, after this conversation, is fading.
- [18/01/2013 3:43:32 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: There is one thing i wanted to ask of you, and i can understand you saying no, but Shane needs help
- [18/01/2013 3:43:55 PM] BettySpaghetti: Sure, unless it's some sort of writing collab
- [18/01/2013 3:45:59 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: Hahahaha...no. People keep thinking its me, and it might ruin his chance for any fans. It sounds selfish, but he is an excellent writer and he is still so scared of pissing off the Internet
- [18/01/2013 3:46:24 PM] BettySpaghetti: [Friday, 18 January 2013 3:45 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise:
- <<< scared of pissing off the InternetAs he should be ;_;
- [18/01/2013 3:47:53 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: Yeah, but he wont take that leap to shock people with his work. I mean, he's no king of gore, but he scared me a little
- [18/01/2013 3:49:00 PM] BettySpaghetti: [Friday, 18 January 2013 3:45 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise:
- <<< People keep thinking its meAs for this, you should tell him to stop speaking for you in front of other people. It looks suspicius as hell. If you want your will told to others, tell them yourself. Yeah I know that might be a little bit of a problem, but if you want to turn over a new leaf you shouldn't leave AiE, you should make them try to understand you're not an asshole as a person.
- Should be an easy(ier) feat since you're being quite level headed and honest with me right now
- [18/01/2013 3:50:14 PM] BettySpaghetti: Now, there are some who won't forgive you, just gonna put that out there. Brainhorn and IntoTheVoid are two examples but they are the piss and vinegar of AiE so don't mind them so much ;)
- [18/01/2013 3:51:59 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: I couldnt care about brainy. He gets angry at erryone from downunder, though he hates not of those who live up-over
- [18/01/2013 3:52:01 PM] BettySpaghetti: Oh, also, the widest complaint I see waged about you is that you endlessly talk about your personal problems IRL. That might be okay a little bit in passing, but for most people it's a bit TMI
- [18/01/2013 3:52:37 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: Yeah, i gotta keep my mouth hole closed sometimes
- [18/01/2013 3:52:46 PM] BettySpaghetti: I know the feel
- [18/01/2013 3:52:57 PM] BettySpaghetti: certainly
- ;_;
- [18/01/2013 3:53:41 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: I am going to try to write, but i promise nothing
- [18/01/2013 3:54:52 PM] BettySpaghetti: Oh you don't have to write if you don;t want to, just try to be a little friendlier with the rest of us. It would go a long way, and trust me it's rewarding
- [18/01/2013 3:54:54 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: Oh and if this ends up in one of your videos
- [18/01/2013 3:55:03 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: I wont mind
- [18/01/2013 3:55:36 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: It seems rewarding just being liked
- [18/01/2013 3:55:53 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: I even saw someone recommended me
- [18/01/2013 3:56:18 PM] BettySpaghetti: Ah, well if you want to broach the subject of your involvement with the friend who was Spaghetti Soldier, that would go a long way for transparancy and likability. It's called honor and people dig that.
- [18/01/2013 3:57:31 PM] BettySpaghetti: Now, on for something that I did to you that wan't so honorable.
- I was in a writing collab named Baron of Bon Bon. It's a group of 7 people who made a parody of one of your chapters.
- [18/01/2013 3:58:12 PM] BettySpaghetti: I will not disclose the other members, but it was not a nice thing to do and I ask your forgivness
- [18/01/2013 3:59:32 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: I forgive you, seeing as they were all funny as hell.
- [18/01/2013 3:59:59 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: What would you have done if you ran out of my stories?
- [18/01/2013 4:00:02 PM] BettySpaghetti: :D Well I'm relived you think so
- [18/01/2013 4:00:20 PM] BettySpaghetti: You have a large body of work
- [18/01/2013 4:00:23 PM] BettySpaghetti: let's just say that
- [18/01/2013 4:00:50 PM] BettySpaghetti: but the group kinda faded in that purpose and now we just chat about videogames
- [18/01/2013 4:00:59 PM] BettySpaghetti: as ya do
- [18/01/2013 4:01:33 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: Yeah, but it wouldnt last for good. I dont care that people rag on me. Hell, i created "Duke pls go" for a laugh
- [18/01/2013 4:02:54 PM] BettySpaghetti: Well I'm glad you forgive me and I'm glad you're getting out of your depression
- [18/01/2013 4:03:24 PM] BettySpaghetti: One personal tip from me is also to eat better-- like salads and stuff. It really helps out the mood
- [18/01/2013 4:03:41 PM] BettySpaghetti: Too much meat is not good
- [18/01/2013 4:04:06 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: ...dont i know it. Jen has me on a fricken diet. I miss steak!
- [18/01/2013 4:04:29 PM] BettySpaghetti: :D
- [18/01/2013 4:04:54 PM] BettySpaghetti: I find Turkey Burgers with lots of herbs and spices do the protien trick
- [18/01/2013 4:05:26 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: Turkey? Koala
- [18/01/2013 4:05:32 PM] BettySpaghetti: :D
- [18/01/2013 4:05:44 PM] BettySpaghetti: Aren't they endangered?
- [18/01/2013 4:06:13 PM] BettySpaghetti: I heard poachers in Australia are themselves being poached by local townfolk
- [18/01/2013 4:06:25 PM] BettySpaghetti: THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME
- [18/01/2013 4:06:26 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: "A danger". Bastards can kill
- [18/01/2013 4:06:48 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: Drop bears and such
- [18/01/2013 4:07:52 PM] BettySpaghetti: I live in the American Midwest where bears drop because of economic depression
- [18/01/2013 4:08:30 PM] BettySpaghetti: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysmLA5TqbIY
- [18/01/2013 4:09:53 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: >Bear loses job at his law firm
- >Him and his family are homeless
- >They now live in a cave, eat garbage
- >Bear killed himself cos depression
- [18/01/2013 4:13:50 PM] BettySpaghetti: Well, bed time for me, cya!
- [18/01/2013 4:14:10 PM] BettySpaghetti: Best of luck on your endevors
- [18/01/2013 4:15:54 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: And to you, good sir. Hope to talk more :)
- [18/01/2013 4:16:04 PM] BettySpaghetti: Sounds like a deal!
- [19/01/2013 3:14:55 PM] BettySpaghetti: If Betty were here, s/he'd probably back me up
- -You
- I would! Although, you can just refer to me as a guy now. :D
- [19/01/2013 3:15:18 PM] BettySpaghetti: I'm not a transgender
- [19/01/2013 3:15:27 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: I'm sorry, but I still get confused with the whole "Betty" thing.
- [19/01/2013 3:15:42 PM] The Duke, Element of Blood and Surprise: Though I like the idea of thinking of you as Master Pain
- [19/01/2013 3:15:53 PM] BettySpaghetti: Think of it like this:

- [19/01/2013 3:16:00 PM] BettySpaghetti: ah there you go
- [19/01/2013 3:16:02 PM] BettySpaghetti: beat me to it
