Yesterday was a bit eventful on the MRT. Making a few books for the MRT Mail Center, and exploring a few places, and also getting stuck in stations, it was.. yeah.
But it ended with some hope, even though as pessimistic as I am, I question it.
One of the key moments for the day(besides being in the jury of another random court thingy on the old map), was going back home from Central City.
I was on the Expo line, trying to leave the city and get back to the Circle Line. Got to the final Expo station that would leave the city. There was two carts stuck on the ramp leading out of the station.
Asked for help to clear them out. Got a tp request from a member. Accepted, and they did the Mod’s job; clearing the tracks for me. I…. I stood there in shock. This… is what I’ve been reduced to? Feeling like I’M A FUCKING GUEST, all because I refuse to build a breathtaking town?!?! I seriously wanted to cry after that. I even had thoughts of quitting once again.
And it didn’t get better as I continued on my journey back home. C11(one of the stations I must pass through to get back home) was moved underground without my knowledge. Though that’s not the problem, it’s the line that wasn’t taken down with it. I didn’t even know it was done until I tried to go through the station, and was greeted by a wall of rock.
Chief happened to pop back on at this time after being gone for awhile. I told him the news, and he seemed to not give a fuck…at all. He was too busy with doing a new type of courthouse to care about if others like myself fall in the same “trap”.
After a few self-drama episodes, I decided to take matters into my own hands, and place warning signs to alert others about this(and how to work around it until Chief fixes it).
Sometime later, he came on Mumble. I told him what I did and asked if he’s planning to fix it ASAP. He says he’ll try today to do a detour until the person who he did this for, comes back.
Finally, I got back home(used my own type of detour) the same way I got there. And here’s the “why there could be hope” part. I asked Chief, if the Admins would ever… ever consider titles for road builders(aka people like me who don’t wish to build towns).
He said, once again, that I would have to be Mayor or up to build roads to other towns. However… he might(again, might) be able to make an exception, since of what I’ve done for the server in the past(with I-0 and stuff). He said he’ll put in a note in the next GSM that’s still being scheduled, if it’s possible I can be exempt from having to build a town to build roads!
Personally, though… I feel this is going to blow up in my face. I think Chief has forgotten, I’m the reason why they had to make changes to roads. Because of my constant over-protection of them, and not allowing others to build off of them without my permission.
Though I’ve learned my lesson from those dark days in my MRT life and learned that this is NOT a Single Player game, and allow anyone to work on my roads… even allowed them to edit them(to an extent). I feel this is just going to cause everything to go back to that thing, and the Admins aren’t going to want it there; especially Frumple.
I can hear it now… “Are you serious? You do know who you’re talking about, right? Benie? The over-protective whiny bastard?! You want him to be able to build roads again?!?!”
Obviously, they’re not going to be that dramatic. But this is how I feel it’ll end. Though they may think I have changed and give me another chance.
Even if they did, how are they going to implement it that won’t affect high-ranking members to be able to build their roads to other towns? I feel, I’m still going to be reduced to a ‘road builder for hire’ as my only option.
Even though this is still up to the Admins, I’m saying this now, so I won’t be shocked and angered if they do say it.
