So offended (resoloved)

[Tiddly Winks 0]

I know that this seems a bit superficial to some, but someone just sent Tiddly Winks a message asking if I hacked the game because I had a bonsai before the release date of the new items. I told them that NO I didn't hack, that the ability to pull out the trees was made available on Friday when the mystery items were released and that I had to 'check' it out when people here started talking about it.

Given my feelings about hacking, such an inquiry totally offends me. I would never even consider hacking or cloning as an option, but now I feel totally offended by such a question and just a little bit insecure about trying new things on the game if that's the sort of questions it is going to bring about.

Is that right to feel this way, or am I overreacting?

I really don;t understand people like that. If they REALLY played the game then they would know like the rest of us that you could utilise that from the reset with new MI items. But even if not then you should have been able to do it now as the new items have been out over 8 hours
I would just ignore them and delete from my list...but then knowing me I wouldn't ignore them ..I'd send a snotty note and then delete them

I don't know if it is overreacting or it is right to feel. I feel offended when if I beat someone he/she says that I cheated.

Yeah, that's what makes this so hard, this person is someone I have known for a coupe of years now, they are someone I trust, but I am deeply hurt by this. It's like they are accusing me of cheating in a game where I have always felt this sort of behavior was wrong. It's like they are attacking my moral standards and accusing me of being a hypocrite. That's why it hurts so much.

It usually takes a lot to offend me, but this time I think this person really stepped across the line. If I didn't know about an item then I would have just asked, not gone the route of an outright accusation.

I think it is not overeacting, it is a normal reaction, it is somebody you have known for 2 years ..
Maybe he/she has envy of what you have

Thanks everyone. I guess I am really sensitive about stuff like this because I have friends who have been banned from the game when they didn't do anything. Such accusations really go deep and hurt.

I am still trying to decide what to do.

hey, everyone fells offended when they're accused of something they didn't do!
just forget about it

[Tiddly Winks 0]

I'm afraid that's easier said than done. I am pondering why someone I trusted would make such an accusation. I mean; even in jist, people should not do that. The printed word can be interpreted in tons of different ways, and it leaves rise to questions.

The main one being, should I be worried that someone has gone to PF and told them that they think I cheated? To me this sort of thing has got all the trappings of a witch hunt.

I remember seeing your bonsai on Sunday and just assuming someone who'd hacked might have given you the pot. At that time I thought you had to buy a pot, not that it was something straight from the garden. I was thinking how cute it was, and how cross I was I had to wait til it came out in the cash shop.

If someone directly accused you, it's silly and petty, but if it was something said in passing, ignore it.

SB has been given stuff she didn't know had been hacked before, like her pink heart glasses. She's so daft for days she just thought it was an MI.

I would just take people like those with a pinch of salt. We at PSFC KNOW you would never 'Cheat' at the game so it wouldnt really matter what they said. At the end of the day, They shouldnt have asked that question because that emplies that maby they are cheating...But aswell...They should have asked you wehere you had the bonsi from withouht beeing rude like that.
I understand how you feel because i asctually was asked this some time ago. Then unfortunatly i was hacked....and couldnt get my account back....I had to ask my friend to do it for me...And once i had it back i got banned for 'Scamming and hacking'.

Obviouslt NOT what i would do but they must have gone to do lots of trades and they got hold of my TOF password and was selling on there...Was my fault because i shuld have had diffrent password for them.

But anyways back to you =).
Dont worry about it. Let it go right out of your head and carry on with your game. Tiddly Winks would hate it so much if she knew you where sad =(. Smile =D...

SophieBella is a sweetheart of a pet. I just love her. Yeah, I will openly admit that when the mayor's letter arrived on Friday to check it out with the trees, I went straight to the cash shop to see if the 'bonsai' option was in there. Then after reading around, I noticed that the bonsai option was when you uproot a tree.

In all fairness, it could have been construed as something else, but what really bothers me is this person knows me, and they know that I would never hack or do anything that is considered unethical. Yes, I have accepted gifts from people, and never pondered if they were hacked or cloned, but when someone comes out and makes a remark like that, just rubs me the wrong way. I can't help it, but the way that was worded really, really bothered me.

Asking, 'where did you get this?' would have been fine, but coming out and saying something to the affect of 'you hacked it' is not fine.

Okay, I will try and cheer up.

I did level up in cooking today. Oh and the person contacted me, they were teasing. I don't think they really meant to hurt my feelings, but I guess all the stuff about hackery that goes on tends to put people on alert.

Thanks for all the supportive words you guys, I really appreciate it. I did speak to this friend today and told her that I was very upset by that 'joke' and she was very apologetic about what she had written. I went on to explain to her that hackers are not people to be taken lightly and that jokes about them are not right. She understood where I was coming from and since we have been friends for close to two years and she is someone whom I have grown to care deeply for, I decided that forgiveness is what I will do.

Of course, I will not soon forget, but maybe next time something gets said, then everyone will remember that things are sometimes interpreted in the manner that was not intended as was the case with me. She knows that now, and everything has been resolved.

It this had been a stranger, I would have not thought twice about deleting, they would be gone.
