and very "i'm being chased down because i'm not here". but i also know people who have a tendency to contact me other places if i'm not responding on discord so that makes it worse
(also psst do you have discord, we should talk sometime, i think we'd get along outside of plurk. obviously i'd make sure not to im you when you're invisible!)
anyway the only reason I'll message someone on other platforms if I dont hear from them is if it's been several days and that's out of the ordinary and I'm getting worried
other than that when I message someone who is listed available and dont get a response I maybe try again in a few hours in case the notification got lost, which happens to me all the time, or will just poke at random if they are habitually invisible
or on rare occasions if I suspect they are invisible but feel like there's something I need or really want to get in touch regarding, as long as I feel like they wouldnt mind hearing from me
in general tho if I assume that offline means offline unless there is an established history of always being invisible in which case maybe offline but who knows or the person in question has specifically said they're on invisible
in which case I may, occasionally, send something, especially if I need to say something but will forget, but expect it to be treated like an offline message
Honestly like I've completely gotten used to not caring whether someone is visible or not when I send them a message like "haha omg wouldn't it be funny if there were an AU where Junpei is a masked superhero and Akane is a masked supervillainness" but when people like hi me or hit me up on multiple platforms I am seriously like shut up
One time I had this autistic friend who would message people on multiple platforms just because he thought it would provide a helpful choice "oh you can answer whatever platform you want" and I was like I see and I'm not mad but,, no thank you,, so now things are okay
yeah, I'm always on invisible myself, because I don't like to lurk sometimes in my game servers without being pounced on. I just basically treat all messages to offline/invisible people as offline messages. they may not be there, but they'll probably get my DM sometime, and as it's text, no rush anyway. most of the time, it's more "oh, I had a thought, so-
"-I'll just leave it with you now, because if I wait until I see you appear online to tell you, I will 100% forget to mention about another way to try getting your Pan An's AGI score up a little higher" or something.
yeah, this is true. if they're treating you like Navi, all HEY, LISTEN!!! HEY!!! HEY!!! while you're set to offline, then that's just obnoxious, and would be about the time I take a sec to figure out if that particular person might have anything I'd consider urgent, or if they're someone I don't want to deal with at the moment....
because, ffs, likely helping Kura with a pageant type event in our game is not at all a priority, and she can sit the f down and wait, and I may or may not conveniently even see her DMs. (a player with very selfish habits in said game I play. I was not fond of her, and later kicked her out of the faction for being a giant rude, entitled brat.)
(every Pageant event, demanding, not asking, for help with her score, despite not needing any of the prizes, while much newer players legit did need them still, but she wanted to hog the spotlight... ugh. nope, not helping her. it's Pageant day, so it's Ignore Kura Day. I'm relieved she's no longer my problem, tbh.)
hime or hit me up on multiple platforms I am seriously like shut up
