Cordova Rant

I was doing some building in the Cordova Sandbox today. My build is a game (I'm not telling too much yet) that involves a enclosed arena on all sides. The arena is somewhat transparant and has a locking forcefeild door.

The ball in the game is physics enabled and moves freely in the air, so I didn't want anyone else inside to move it; hence the door. I was surprised by how many people came up to me and wanted into the arena were I was building. One person begged to be let in. Another sat outside and started puting cubes inside my build. Why can't I build in peace? I can understand people observing what I'm doing. Typycally, I'm nice to anyone who walks up to me. I'll usually drop what I'm doing, say hello, maybe start a small conversation. What got me upset was how people persisted even after I expliained that I wasn't going to let anyone in. Even that is not so bad. The most annoying part is how some people have no respect for your build. Someone started building their own stuff overlapping my build, and in some cases intersecting it. I politely asked them to move their build and to leave me alone. They still didn't get it.

I wish that people would use basic courtesy and treat one another with respect. Many of us do this is real-life, right? Don't leave manner behiend just because you are in a online game; there are real people on the other end. It's not like you are being rude to a NPC.
