Title: Love Ranting Post by: dulcineea on June 11, 2004, 11:50:58 AM Some time ago I was looking for an old mud I'd been playing and couldn't remember the address for. While looking for this mud my eyes stumbled upon an interesting description of muds in general:
Quote Some players are said to have met their real life spouses while playing the game. Oki, so maybe the guy was talking about the girl sitting next to him in the ICafe..but it is still making me wonder. Is it wishful marketing or is there some truth to it? Let's not talk about wives or husbands..but maybe girl/boyfriends, good friends and other kinds of people you really bonded with just by finding them on Nanny! I have make such friends and I'm proud of that! A list to come :D ! Title: Love Ranting Post by: Carrion on June 11, 2004, 12:57:44 PM I have never met anyone in RL that I had met on Nanny first, not even as a 'friend'. FOr me it's the other way around, I have friends in RL that also do or did MUD... I've had some thoughts about joining the Nanny party (I _do_ live in Linköping!), but I haven't had that much incentive for it yet... There are one or two Nannyers that I _think_ I'd like to meet though...
Title: Love Ranting Post by: Snafu on June 11, 2004, 03:43:00 PM I can account for and know many people who have met from here..I could make a list but I'd be sure to miss someone..
I am one myself. *gasp* Twice? /Snafu :D Title: Love Ranting Post by: bahamet on June 13, 2004, 02:09:06 PM I don't know if anyone from Nanny met someone on Nanny first and then met and then married... I think there are a few that are dating IRL post Nanny experiences though.... Is Gabe and Mami one of those? Or did I read into that worng and that's just Nanny? OR did that come before Nanny.... Oh and Snaffy also....
Title: Love Ranting Post by: ladychris on June 13, 2004, 03:04:49 PM Plenty of RL couples that met in Nanny first, as far as i know :)
Dont mean to mix in other ppl's business, but those are a few i happen to know: Snafu and Labyrinth Ashlea and Viken Yaleah and Boyd Raya and Nothel Gabe and Mami Brom and Banshee ...and lots more :) Title: Love Ranting Post by: dulcineea on June 14, 2004, 12:09:38 AM Nice list :)

Boys! :evil: they have no sensibility for romance :P Title: Love Ranting Post by: Russ on June 14, 2004, 01:32:10 PM I know its not strictly Nanny related, but I met my wife on ICQ. :D We just stumbled across each other, and then after a few days realised that we only lived about 5 minutes walk from each other! Talk about fate!

Not sure if that falls under the category of "romance" or not, but it certainly falls under the category of "real." I should also mention, before Ladychris criticizes my inherent maleness, that I do have a sensibility for romance - and I have the scars to prove it! 8) Title: Love Ranting Post by: Kherec on June 14, 2004, 02:06:08 PM Oh I'm a romantic alright ... just don't believe in 'falling in love' over the internet. I'm the same with phone-dating, I can't fall in love without meeting a person and get the whole person (body, mind and soul, all parts equally important for me to actually fall in love).
But that's just me, I wouldn't dream of denying people the opportunity, if it's enough for them, I just couldn't fall in love in one half of a person, without getting to know the other half :) Title: Love Ranting Post by: Carrion on June 14, 2004, 03:58:15 PM C'mon GUYS, we all know it's face and body at about 99%, the last percentage is a mix of humour, wealth, interest in sports and some more... 'We met online'... Bah!
Title: Love Ranting Post by: Qwer on June 14, 2004, 04:01:46 PM I do know a guy that met a girl over the internet and after like 2 years of chatting on IRC they live now together, for like a year, almost. Shit does happen, just a coincidence. It can happen to anyone.
