This is the first blog post I’ve made in WordPress version 3.0.1. I can’t believe how easy it was to update.
Anyway, these past days have been pretty slow in Volcano Forest. Anayy has been working on a guard tower next to the volcano. And I… I have been pretty much doing anything I can that involves wood, including helping make and attach the 100 planks needed for the tower.
One other thing. I made a large cart! 😀 I called it ‘Dragon Express’, but gave control of it to angry so he could make it the village cart.
There’s something I don’t like about Anayy, though. His desire to make farming an art instead of an enjoyment. I’ve always seen farming (and fishing) as ways of relaxing my nerves after a day of living with these two slap-happy guys.
This thing started with me walking around the village looking for something to do, when I spot one of Anayy’s fields that are harvestable. I tend to it and manage to get three cotton out of it. Then I go and replant one of them where they should be planted. Angry sees me and is all “NO! Wait!” and says “Leave those for Anayy”.
I say “I was just going to move them over here” and he says “He likes these fields in some order”.
My brain is all “WTF?! I see no fucking order there! He’s randomly planting them!”, then “Ok. Fuck it. If he wants to do it, then… whatever.” and try to find a place to put them, eventually putting them in Anayy’s house.
Seriously, Anayy. The animal pen is NOT the farm. Stop re-planting them in the pen! I don’t give a shit if your ‘order’ involves randomly placing fields. That’s not the way it’s done here!
Yet angry doesn’t seem to care, or maybe not want to get involved.
Alright so, the next thing is when I come back from eating my dinner and angry is not in my local, but is in the game. I ask him where he ran off to, and he’s talking something about that Ctrl died and can’t find his corpse, making no sense. I head down to the pier and notice angry’s sailboat is gone.
He’s still talking gibberish about his alt. I do my best to get him to explain what happened, then he mentions that he was doing something while autowalking on his alt, and he ran into a few hostiles and died.
Next thing I know he’s trying to get revenge for the death and getting his ass kicked by the same lion that killed his alt and can’t believe it’s happening. I can’t do shit because I have no weapons, so I stay back at the village. The hostile is a fierce mountain lion.
Eventually angry comes by and lets he barrow one of his swords, hopped on a horse and went with him on a hunting trip to get revenge. Got to where his alt walked for miles and died, and we killed the mountain lion and a rat. His alt got his corpse and we headed back to the village.
And the 3rd, final thing is when angry told me to get my pickaxe. I had to say “Oh god…” as my response, knowing the work will be long.
I got on the large cart with angry and we headed to CatVille, the settlement just north of us. We pass it and enter this long cave tunnel, and when we come out on the other side, I’m facing the ocean and the other island.
We go over to this one spot. I’m trying to figure out what angry has planned for me as he walks around the rock mountain we just went through, as if he’s looking for something. Then tells me to start tunneling at this random, nearly flat rock face. So I do, over and over questioning him what are we doing here when this isn’t part of our village.
So we finally make the tunnel to the mine, and angry is unimpressed at the result, then starts asking if my alt brought a pickaxe with him. I had to say no. Then asks me what he has, so I log onto him and check. 10 seconds later it closes out with no warning. And I found out angry once again tried to login to my account.
Instead of apologizing, he searches around on his alt trying to find my alt a pickaxe. But with no luck. I tell him that I could run over to Bay View and buy myself an enchanted pickaxe and give him my old one, but angry says no saying it’ll take too long and this needs to be done now.
I can still get my enchanted pickaxe, but not right now.
Halfway in the new mine, angry finally mentions about a vein he’s trying to find. And we finally find it; a gold vein. Woop-de-fucking-do. Gold is as useless as it is in Minecraft. To me anyway.
So he has me mining it trying to find another 30’ish QL ore, and all I’m getting is 1.00’s. Soon he gets fed up with the bad luck and we head back to the village.
And then I’m given the task to make two wooden mine doors, which I just got done finishing at the time of this post. And that is pretty much it. I’m not sure what I’m going to do tomorrow.
