Awkward day today. The first thing I did (and it was night) was try to find that guy’s boat, by sailing south from my place and following the west coast.
No sooner than 5 minutes after I pulled away (and talking in kchat), I began to experience severe lag and getting D/C’d.. alot. So I decided to stop using kchat and that worked for awhile.
I got to the Southwest coast and decided to check the Vessel Lost and Found forum, and saw the guy’s thread and someone replied in it, stating that he saw it on the ‘ocean side’ of Solace.
Just then I started lagging and D/Cing yet again, and this time I wasn’t doing anything. Soon it got so bad I decided to fuck finding the guy’s boat.
Though finally the D/Cing started getting less severe, and tried again. Noticed a Cog and went over to it. And there it was. I quickly emailed the guy and told him I may’ve found his boat.
So I slowly made my way back home. Halfway I noticed a new person posting in kchat. When I saw the name I freaked. It’s Starhero! The owner of one of the rowboats next to my place! I quickly sent the guy a PM and told him that his boat, the SilverWind, is at my place. He jumped and yelled that the SilverWind lives. Yet however he wasn’t able to get it, saying he and his friend are stuck in a mine with a troll blocking the way.
So I continued north, slow due to no wind. When I tried to ask where they were, he asked if I had Teamspeak 3 and I said yes, and joined his channel. He told me that they’re stuck in a mine somewhere around Bay View. Yet they are resourceful, because they’re veterans. So as I was going around the server, they already made their way out and got to their sailboat, and before I could get to Samling, they were heading my way.
So I had to turn around and head back to my place, with them.. kinda following me. When I finally got home, I saw them passing me. So I had to tell them I’m over here.
Soon the guy saw his boat, but in disrepair. I lended him everything needed to imp and repair and he managed to get the boat seaworthy again.
Then after asking me if I had Lead, I showed him to the mine and gave him my spare pickaxe for him to have.
So to explain what’s been going on, Starhero and his friends are trying to find a place to settle down around here. So the SilverWind won’t be taken away until they can find said place. And right now it’s not in the way so I’ll let it go. They used to live in a place called ‘Atlantis’, a place on the NE side of the bottom Northwestern island, and near my place (explains why his rowboat was at my place). But it’s long gone. So they’re Nomads until they find a spot.
I also finally completed my pier! Now I can work on that Corbita I’m planning on. But right now I feel like I should wait until these guys get settled and get their lives going again.
I’ve also been helping them out by taking them wherever they go. I had to go over to where New BroVegas was to pick up one of them and take them back to my place.
As I approached, Local began to get busy with a guy asking who landlocked his boat with clay. I noticed the name; Konlin! Another owner of the boats!
I deeply apologized to him for what I did and told him I had permission from a CM to do it yesterday. He also apologized for not responding sooner.
He said that he’s been on, and lives north of El Rancho Lago. Seeing he’s been around, I decided to ask him who lived where I’m living now, and what was the name of it. He said it’s Fort Willow! 😮 .. How in the fuck? All of this time I thought it was Stillwater Bay! This changes everything!!
He also said the former villagers of Fort Willow disbanded three months ago, and the token finally went away 5 months ago (which is how old the server was). So they’ve been here since the creation of the server. Very interesting. Konlin is also a friend of Starhero. And his son is Doubleteam; the owner of the second rowboat.
So now I know the history of this place, and know it’s marked on the map as Fort Willow. I have to tell the leader of the Community Map Project this, to rename Fort Willow to Oceanside Retreat.
The rest of the night, I found out Starhero was the former mayor of Atlantis (due to him giving orders. Was quite obvious). He also was giving orders to Koi (one of his friends I met) to mark on the map where they should check out.
I offered to hold a cart filled with their stuff at my place for them to come back and get it when ready, and did. Soon Koi had the locations marked, and they headed out by walking up the road south of my place. Finally leaving my local and kinda got my quiet life back to normal, yet remaining on TS3. I took this time to get my alt to make some more Stew.
