If you're in Mag and don't PK (Or make solid attempts at it), it's quite a bit harder to get in with the right people. Not impossible, just quite a bit harder. It's just the way the city works. Hard work, not complaining, and great flavour RP will help you out, though.

I've been down this path before and I know how you feel. I definitely agree with Felicia's 'change of venue' statement. There are groups of people you can't please or at least get the respect/approval/recognition you feel you've earned no matter how you try to reach out to them. When that happens, it's best to stop trying hard because others will most likely see your efforts as silly antics. Don't stop being yourself, though, there's definitely no reason for you to, because, someone or many someones will eventually see your worth/efforts and appreciate you for it - these are the people you can reach out to as these are the people who will most likely embrace you for who you are.
Also, learn to appreciate and be happy with the things you do/you've done/you're planning to do. There are some things we need to give ourselves. Who knows, if you start appreciating what you do, you'll realize you don't need the approval/recognition you desire from others as much as you thought you did in the past. Maybe, once you do things without the wish to please others at the forefront of your mind, others will start recognizing you. It may not be what you had in mind or it may not be the people you had in mind, but it's still a good thing!
Don't let things like this bring you down. Try to stretch your patience as much as possible when you feel compelled to go elsewhere, and only go elsewhere when your patience can't be stretched any further. Always, always, be happy!

This is what I really try to do, but then I see people recognized through cityfavours and such for things that aren't even really spelled out, and I wonder, "Why didn't *I* get a cityfavour for what appears to be nothing? Why did XXX?" This is especially frustrating when I'm probably 1 CF at this point from CR6.
I know I have jealousy issues, and it's something I'm trying to get over. I still can't help but feel overlooked and under-appreciated. Thank you for the advice nonetheless.

Some days, you just get the feeling that God really hates your guts.
Then something nifty happens that makes you think that maybe God doesn't want you to suffer after all.
Ooops no. That was a slip up. Denied!
I hate all these miserable days.

I'm just tired of everything that can go wrong going wrong at the same time. I didn't get to watch Eurovision Song Contest because I was trying to acquire someone to step in for me on my shift tomorrow so I could join my father, brother and sister on the annual "four mountain trip", a traditional mountain trip where you traverse four or seven mountains surrounding the city which is a lot of fun, but then I failed at that because nobody could be bothered to make time for me like I've made time for them so many times before and then I get to work only to be greeted with a coffee machine malfunctioning while there's not enough salad, we're still short on change, I get crazier customers than usual and of course the printer needed to fail at the end of the day paving way for overtime today, and most likely tomorrow as well.
Srsly...

I ended up losing a job because I was under the impression I found someone to take over my shift, and then they didn't show up. And I had no choice not to be there. It was a crappy weekend restaurant hosting job anyway.

That's rough. I've been lucky in that my boss is very awesome, but it still frustrates me that everything cool has to happen when I have work, and that I can never EVER find someone to cover for me. I've had similar things happen many times before... it's not fun.

I know that feeling too, considering I work a night shift and everything fun happens during the day.

At least you people have jobs...I'd give some very valuable body parts to have employment right now. I've racked up my 20th bust on applications.

Which body part? You might be able to sell that.

Yeah, but revenue from organs only lasts so long. It's not quite so high that I could live off the interest.

The trick is to only peddle organs that have their highest value when rented rather than sold.

It's sad to see someone get ganged up. Especially when the said gang is being manipulated by someone else. It's sad when you can't do anything to help.

I dislike people who are easy to offend, difficult to please, slow to forgive, and quick to judge.

I was in an icc25 raid. Then my computer died. Four times.
Why me.

You just described half the playerbase of Lusternia.

That's probably true, but to be fair, it also applies to half the player base of Real Life v1.0 (beta).
Either way, I dislike that half.

/pat I would say I know your pain but that rarely happens to me. However I am forced to run with about 6 fps in icc25, whereas I get like 20+ in icc10. Weird.
