Do people keep track of who comes to their parties?

Asked by Nimis (13260points) August 28th, 2011 from iPhone

I’m not a fan of the mansion parties.
Not against other people enjoying them. Just not my thing.

But are you sad or offended if you don’t see some names on your thread/party?

Can I just send a card?
Like one card for all of you?

I lurve you guys, I really do.
I’m just not a party jelly.

Is it just me?

I avoid them unless I actually know the person.

I don’t, coz that would be craaaaap!! I mean, they come & go in the blink of an eye anyway, a brief “buzz” & whoosh, gone. Not worth getting worked up about, in the manner you speak of certainly.

I think ucme is dipping into the Stella Artois a bit early in the morning.

I definitely don’t notice anyone’s absence, and I know there are quite a few people who’d rather send a congratulatory PM than participate in the parties. You’re not alone, and we still love you. :)

I can’t remeber if I showed up to my own party or not…

I am making an effort to check in on the party threads of people who have actually PM’d me or added me to their Fluther.

I feel if they are making an attempt to community build I should return the favor.

I get a big kick out of seeing the Jellies I butt heads with stop in and say ‘grats which truly shows we are all here for just the fun of it! Y’all know who you are!! ;)

There was one thrown for me at the 10K mark. I don’t remember who posted on it, much less who even hosted it. It’s the same in real life; public celebrations make me uncomfortable.

For the Jellies I’m familiar with that reach a mile mark, I send a PM. They deserve the recognition in my book. It’s just more comfortable for me to do it privately.

I didn’t notice anyone’s absence on my 10K or 20K and if I did, I wouldn’t care. :\

Parties are parties, you revel in the moment then you move on. It doesnt’ matter who shows up or who don’t. As long as you feel you are lurved.

I like the parties and I know for a fact that I missed 2 of them about 2 weeks ago, because I was offline for a bit and sometimes I forget to check the Meta section.

I know I enjoyed my own party very much, but I didn’t keep track of who was there and who was not there, I just enjoyed all of the nice things that people said and did. It was a hoot!

When I attend a party, I always try to bring something along that I know the person will like and I try to get the mansion all cleaned up to the specifications of the Jelly that’s entering. : )

Bellatrix's avatar

Oh yes, I made a list… you know who you are if you weren’t there!!! huh! huh!

Seriously, no. If people want to participate they do, if they don’t, they don’t! All good with me.

I can’t be offended if I’m guilty of doing the same thing. I was absent from the party scene for at least a year. I tried to send pm’s to those who hit a milestone, but I know I missed many. It got to a point (for me) where it seemed the congratulations on the party threads got less personal and users were answering just because, and not because they actually liked the user.

What I feel slightly bad about is not thanking each and every person who comments on my party threads. I wish I could be as witty and clever as some users who do this. I also have a lot going on at the moment and don’t have the time. :/

Bellatrix's avatar

I think anyone who knows the things you are going through right now, and I only am aware in a limited way, would absolutely understand @jonsblond.

Blondesjon's avatar

oh fuck! here she comes. i wasn’t here, ok?

Nimis's avatar

Damn it. Is it too late to edit my details to:
I lurve you guys—except for Blondesjon.
