Well I’m back in Wurm. I showed angry a few plans, and one plan I finally wanted to do, despite un-sittable chairs.

In this eventful 24 hours, I would have enough things to start a book on the word ‘FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUU-‘

As I have stated, over and over again, sittable chairs have always killed my plans, and my enjoyment of this game.
I’ve thought about going back to WoW… but, why??

And finally, I knew what I must do. My motto is; “Go after the source of the anger”. So I did, via the Wurm Forum. I pretty much BEGGED the devs to give us sittable chairs, and how we as a whole don’t want to wait ’till Gold 3 for this to get implemented.
After creating it, I was going to bed. I wondered what the results would be from my thread in the morning. Would the devs say “it would still be too hard to put it in”? Or, would I get every reply saying “we don’t WANT sittable chairs”.

The next day(today), I checked the thread, and it was worse than I thought. With most of them saying my request was ‘pointless eye candy’. I wish I could reach in, strangle their necks and say “FUCK YOU!!! YOU DON’T FUCKING GET IT!!! FUCK YOUR GOD DAMN GAMEPLAY BALANCING!! I WANT SITTABLE CHAIRS!”
I don’t think I have ever been so angry over a game in my life. Over something so ‘pointless’ as sittable chairs. But god dammit! If I’m going to play a game, I demand it to be FUN!
But apparently most people see ‘fun’ as challenging, killing shit…

What’s worse? I seem to be the only one, after all of these years since chairs where implemented in this game, that wants them sittable. Or the others that have wanted them have given up hope or quit.
But I say those who quit, wasn’t because of un-sittable chairs.

Since angry and his friend helped me yesterday, I continued doing work myself by removing the fences. The progress was time-consuming, but I finally got all of them that are in deed, letting the ones off deed, decay on their own.
But yet I’m faced with more, uncertainty/grief/anger over this game. Over the “can’t do everything I want” thing. And having to make my own decisions, where before I wanted to.

Lets say there’s alot of things going through my head now. Some have nothing to do with Wurm. Others, do. But one of the reasons why I need to take a break, was from all of the mining I did, and seeing all of those rock shards, wasted repeatably due to ‘just missing’.

That, and what I need to do to start working on a plan to hopefully make coming to the HS, more enjoyable. A double-wide path with trees in the middle, ‘leading’ to the house. And the house itself will be ‘spun around'(rebuilt), with hopefully a nice deck in the back.

But I can see this ‘nice’ deck. And the fact they will NEVER implement sitting down in this game, or have a TRUE deck, it will be a failure.

Once again, It’s been a pretty boring day. Except this time I tried to get alittle bit busy with plank-making and getting 4 of the 8 walls on the Storage room.

Later on, angry wasn’t on like he was the day before, but finally did. Then told me he wouldn’t be able to help me. He’s going to be busy working with wood at Bennie Bay, building houses and stuff.
So I thought that the only way he’s going to help me is I speed up what he needs to get done. So I grabbed my tools, went to Aegis, and finally took my first ride on my new sailboat, the SS Little Dragon.

As I headed North, me and angry where talking in PM’s about this north breeze. Suddenly, fog rolls in. And somehow angry said the fact the wind is coming from the north, the fog would be very thick… and it was!
I felt like I was hopelessly, floating in a cloud. Nothing but white all around me. All I had for navigation was my compass.
I looked to my left(West) and saw a spirit guard. Knew it was NH so I turned in it’s direction, and stopped in NH. Angry came my way, little did I know he would control the boat once he got there and take me to the bay.
He went through this… cloud. Finally the fog started to thin out just enough for me to see the shore. But did that mean he gave me control back? No. And on top of it, he took it to the shipyard, acting like he was the boss saying “this is where all ships go, wherever you like it or not!”(not actually like that but that’s what I felt).
After he, parked the boat behind a fenced-in area, all I could think from blowing my top was “think of it as Valet Parking” and headed to the bay on foot.

Once I got there, I was blown away about how much it has changed. This is the first time I’ve seen it since I moved to Dragon Forest. I found the logs he wanted me to turn into planks. And so I went up there, and worked, and worked, and worked… all by myself. But I kept my temper in check.
Later on, I finally got help from some of the “villagers”. And then later on they left. I asked angry why and he said they’re putting the planks on the houses, and I was invited to join. So I did with the 48 planks I had on me.
After a few delays of not having access for me to build the houses, I finally got started. And we got ‘The Storehouse’ finished, and then worked on ‘The House of Alts and Spare Beds’. During this time, angry said that gop was coming on. Amazing!
I haven’t seen gop since…. since I left the bay to find a new place to live? I believe it’s been that long. And low and behold, gop popped into the game and began to work, without making a word. Probably was speaking in PM’s to angry, or in BB’s village chat.
And alittle later, after the 2nd place was finished, he left as quick as he got here, probley never to be seen ingame again until next year. lol

I thought “Ok, we’re done. You gonna help me now?” But no. Angry had us building on another house. And there was less people at the time.
Getting done with that, I presumed we’re finally done.. HELL no! Got ANOTHER house to mess with!
This one is all the way Southeast of Bennie Bay. A place angry calls ‘Anaysoan Point’. He finally showed me where it was. And the first thing I noticed is, it was deedless. And how angry’s villagers, live here instead of the bay.
Why.. prey tell? Anyway, I started building on this. Down to just me building on it. Then another worked on it, then angry worked on it. Thought “Finally! We get this done and he can help me!!” until the other one left, so it was just me and angry. We got a few walls done, I saw we where out of planks, got frustrated and wanted to go back home.

Right now though, angry acts like all he needs to do is a few things and he’ll help me. But it just seems he’s trying to either take advantage of me of the fact I’m willing to help him, or trying to think of every little thing to keep from helping me.

I spent, all day yesterday, wasting my time instead of just… DOING, what needs to be done! And when angry got on, I asked him to help me and he said he will.

Time went on and I had to eat, thinking he will be at my house, waiting for me to get back on.
When I got back, he wasn’t there. “Wha??” went through my head. I fired up Steam and angry gave me a blog post of his(that he has deleted, but I ain’t going to let him forget about this), saying he’s going to come back to Neveron with a homestead deed and give the deeds/writs to Baalel.
“Dude.. you can’t be serious! You’re throwing away Bennie Bay, to go back to Neveron?!” I thought. But angry wanted to through it. So I brought a cart to Small Bears, as he wanted.
Got there, he loaded his stuff in it, gave me what’s left, and we walked back. Once he founded, unknown to me he put all of the money for the size ten deed upgrade into the deed, giving it 500 days of upkeep.

I left, told him if he needed me, that he knows where I was. Then said in my Village chat that he’ll disband in a week, because I knew he was unhappy. And later on, the truth finally came out of him.

I convinced him to go back to Bennie Bay. Because, his villagers need him. And it was wrong to just… leave them like that, to get Neveron back.
He then tried to sell the deed on the Wurm Forum, and my heart sunk into my stomach. Because I knew, whoever gotten it will probley tell me to leave. Or something else. Anyway, I wouldn’t like it.
I did my best to plead to him not to sell it, because it would be highly damaging to me.

He gave the deed to BenieTwo, 1 of my alts I used to get a bunch of money. Made some planks for me, and then went home.

So that’s basically happened. He has learned not to make this mistake again.

*ALERT! Huge blog post!*

Been playing Fallout 3 alot. But I’m getting bored. Been everywhere. Seen everything. Killled everything.
So… I decided to come back to Wurm. And started working on building a catapult to knock down the fences built by Ruffle.

After eating dinner, I found out I forgot to pay for prem and got that done, then asked angry if he had the ropes I needed, and met him at Small Bears, got the ropes and gave him the 5s I got from getting prem again.

When I got home, I noticed Baalel’s rowboat, DoomWagon, was missing from my pier. So I searched the lake. Got to my other old HS (that’s West of the lake). Saw the writs where still there(“The fuck?! I thought angry nuked them!”) went through my head.
Then I saw my old chairs. I know I wanted a patio infront of my house’s door, and asked angry to nuke the writs. And he promptly did. I did tell him about Baalel’s boat. He said the goons probley took it again. “Again?” I asked. He said yes.

After getting the chairs, I continued searching the shore of the lake. As I reached the southern edge of the lake, I saw a settlement belonging to a “JD Centrals”.
I then swam to BBM. Once getting there, I noticed access into BBM was denied. Anyway, I was starting to lose hope until I turned left of the Eastern access gatehouse of BBM and noticed a rowboat named “DoomWagon”. Found it! 😀
But, that was proof the goons “stole” it(explanation about the “stole” part later on down). I found it facing a sign with “Scape Den” on it. Scaper took it!
I told angry I’m going to have a talk with this guy as I dragged the boat away from BBM and took it back to my pier.

After that I made some nails (been a long time since I did) and built a few fences. And got the catapult done, then started work on a Cart Storage for my…geh. 4 carts(I don’t need 4 carts, angry…).
The first place I put my Cart Garage was split right on the deed border. I didn’t realize this until I started putting planks on and saw I was leaving and entering at the mid point.
As I was working on it, I saw Silverhammers walk by in my local. He didn’t say anything.
So I asked kchat if the side that’s outside of the deed will decay more. But the conversation went to Silverhammers bleeding to death due to a bear.
I told him he needed to seek a medic ASAP. Then knew kchat wasn’t going to help me with my issue
So I thought “Why not just put it somewhere else in the deed?”. Looked around and noticed the ground where angry’s little shack was. Saw it was a 2×2(what I wanted), and it was in the deed, and went on to start building.

About 5 minutes later, Silverhammers pops up behind me as I’m planning the building.
We talked alittle, and he explained about an issue with Mine 1. Something about “falling near a mine near a homestead”, aka he fell near Mine 1. So I need to do something about that. Maybe build a fence above the mine entrance to prevent people walking on BBH from tripping and falling in.
Then he headed back to BBM. I told him that I wanted to speak to Scaper about my boat.
In PMs with him, he started telling me that Scaper didn’t steal it. That the guy found it floating in the lake about 1-2 weeks ago. Going to have to believe him, since it can happen. The boat doesn’t have an anchor.
But it doesn’t explain my missing Cog issue before, and the anchor was still on it when it was found by a CM.
He also said he he’s heard of Baalel’s name, and how he was looking for it. When I told him this is Baalel’s boat that he gave to me.

So. That pretty much explains what happened. Sorry for the super-long post, but I have an issue of wanting to over-describe something. 🙂

I just noticed this today. Angry’s working on a forum for Bennie Bay. This is very good.
Here’s the link to it. He’s still setting it up, so please use the current board for BeniesBuilds.com.

The release of Wrath of The Lich King is coming this month, the 2nd WoW EP. Before, I have wanted it. But as time went on, I just got bored with WoW and stopped playing.
But, why I canceled my accounts? Well, I figured I’m pretty much done with it, and it would leave a nice hole in my bills. But there’s another reason. A reason that was spawned because of WoW and grew into a monster because of a heavy metal band…

Yep. That’s right. My dragon obsession. From what I read about WoTLK, it heavily involves, dragons. If I had gotten this, with my obsession as bad as it was (yes, was. Thanks to The Dragon Megathread putting it on life support, due to Rule 34 of Facepunch(the right of porn), until I was able to finally grab ahold of it and strap it down to keep it under control) it would send it into outer space.

To further control my obsession, I’ve decided to not get it. Simple as that, right? No more issues, right? … As long as they don’t shove this game in my face.
I fear Garry will make a WoTLK subforum. But then again, seeing how most people hate WoW, the chances of that are slim to none.
