Benie's Games Blog

Today, I borrowed my old(now angry’s) sailboat to get back home to my HS faster so I can get my gear. Once I made it to the old BBX(BearBack Crossroads), I saw this thing that looked similar to BBM’s(BearBack Mountain’s) memorial.
Making the turn south, I saw nothing new, turned West, heading for the BBLB(BearBack LandBridge), I look over to where Halcyon is and see this house sitting on the hill to the south; the very hill I would’ve taken down as dirt for the island project. Angry told me a few days ago that someone planted a house near the mine that I uncovered. Got to my HS. Got my gear. Headed back.
Halfway back across the landbridge, I began to hear sawing. Checked my local and I saw 3 people. Decided to investigate.

At my old HS, they are… chopping down my pines. They actually thought Halcyon was deserted, and one of them wanted to live there…that’s where I stepped in after they where asking me if I lived around here, though I didn’t have much of a defense backing me, they believed me that I was the previous owner of the land.
I told them how I lost it due to the failure of my island project, and they acted like “We can make your plan still work!”… ohh how I wish I heard that MONTHS ago. I told them it was too late. But I had to leave and get angry’s boat back to the village before he kills me.
As I turned left and headed back to NT, a Young raging brown bear aggroed me and gave chase..but somehow it acted like it said “Ahh. Fuck it! Just go already” and left me alone by heading back into the forest.
Got back to the boat in one piece, but not without it’s problems. Heading back to the Northern Passage got hard when a sudden fog began to roll in. And if that wasn’t bad enough, lag was also building. I was forced to do an emergency dock and wait as Sol rised. But I had things to do and couldn’t let this fog stop me. So I kept on heading north, hoping eventually the fog would thin just enough to show the passage.
Finally I got back to the village and parked the boat. Then I logged off. And, that’s that.

Yesterday was full of action and we got alot done… yeah right. I’m actually waiting for angry to get stated building.
The day first started with angry thinking I knew his password because when I sailed on my Cog to Small Bears, somehow Benie went for the ride, and was found in the captain’s seat. After telling him a shitload of times I used Dragonhead, well he didn’t know if he could believe me.
But, I got myself back to the village, and Benie as well. As I was going there, he told me Baalel decided to move near us, and showed me the plan he had for Baalel’s house in Mapper.
Once I got back, angry got me to head over to where him(as Bennie) and Baalel are building the guy’s house. Once I did, angry gave me a meal.
Anyway, later on I had to go for several hours. When I got back, angry was still online. Baalel had left for bed. Angry and I where just talking random shit. Some how it got to Matty. I believe it was when angry was trying to remember when we met.
He found out it was Matty that got me back into Wurm. And I found out, angry was planning to move out of the camp anyway due to Matty. But I moved out before he did. So, me moving out didn’t screw up all of our lives as I originally thought.

The rest of the day, angry prepared to head back to school today while I flattened the area for building. Finally got that done.

After getting a shitload of messages from angry, staying Elysium is ours, that the former mayor has destroyed the writs. It’s now up to me to pay for and found Bennie Bay.
But, with my birthday now 5 days away, how am I going to be able to afford 25s for the deed, + 20s for the Cog, AND the money to give Bennie prem?

This came at a really bad time. Financial-wise. However with the USD getting stronger, it won’t cost as much to get 10s, every 12 hours. In other words, I would have the money to afford the deed in 1&1/4 days. Other words, if I start now, I’ll have it by Saturday Night.
As for the money for the Cog, angry said he’ll pay for it as a birthday present. 🙂

And as for Bennie getting prem, angry wants me to wait on it until he talks to…someone. He won’t tell me what.

I’ve decided enough is enough. And there’s only one way to end this dumb fighting over what Bennie Bay will look like. To do my own plan and show it to angry, and tell him “Either my plan or your plan. Nomatter which one you pick, I will agree to.”
And so, I took care of the farm that angry re-sowed for me, and headed to Aegis. Once there, I walked over to where I had docked the SS DragonHead, and…. it was GONE! :O
After a frantic search, I found it on the southern point of the landbridge leading to Phoenix Enterprises and points north. I discovered after checking the settings, it couldn’t of been stolen. Wurm was getting a pretty strong West wind at the time, and that’s what I blame it on. It pushed my boat away from where I parked it to the landbridge where it got stuck.
Getting it past the landbridge, I took control and got into the tunnel. I noticed it has been widened in a few places. I really need to volunteer to help one of these days to allow boats to easily get through it.
Emerging into the Bay of Bears side of the tunnel, I gave a thank you to Xallo there for the hard work so far. Then it was off to Elysium, where I’m still going there, at an agonizing 8.14 km/h.

I will be posting pictures of two plans, once I have them done in Mapper. What Elysium looks like now(for myself), and my plan of Bennie Bay.
As for my boat, it’s going nowhere. I got it stuck in the sand. 🙂

Quite a few things happened at once today. It started off with logging into Yahoo Messenger and getting messages from angry that he’s talked to one of the villagers of what used to be Elysium, about asking the mayor to disband their writs so we can move in.
It continued on with starting work on my newest idea for the HS, to add water inside the HS for a rowboat to get in. Several things happened after that, such as getting a PM from this guy who is going to build my Cog and asked me where it was. I told him to ask Momarr.
And then Tukster shows up, telling us there’s 5 young scorps on the road to Rockcliff. I try to help him out with him, helping him kill one and luring a few to the deed.

After that, it started to turn ugly. Once I finally got my idea done, I forgot one major flaw in my plan. Why have a boat here when I’m going to be restricted to the lake. I rather not go into alot of detail, as it’s very embarrassing to explain in a public blog.
But, the reason why I’ve been doing all of this, is… is trying to make my deed better than Elysium. I really miss my old HS so much, and I don’t know why. But struggling to make the place better instead of JUST… accept what I have, I just can’t handle it. Nomatter what I do, it fails, because it’ll NEVER look like my old place.
My old place was wider. Longer. Here I feel like my choices of making it better are so small it’s microscopic. I didn’t have a fucking, rock-filled hill behind my house in the past. It refuses to work with me and it’s upsetting. Why didn’t I just fucking found Dragonhead Bay when I had the chance?? Because of the damn buildings Elysium has. I STILL could’ve founded if I used my head. 😛 If I founded the deed JUST outside of Elysium’s deeds, I would’ve had it!
But no.. I didn’t think about that. Plus I wouldn’t know how to get more meals like I do now. And angry would be pissed with the fact I’ll be so far away.

Why…. why can’t my brain handle getting along with others? Why do I like living on my own, but can’t handle it fully? AKA, anything that has to do with work, I try to get someone else to do it.
The entire point of a homestead is to live on your own, and not need any form of help. And my brain refuses to grasp, that I’m not supposed to need help with meals and shit.

If I decide to go after Elysium(as a village, sharing it with angry and glop), ok so I’ll own the deed. But still, it’ll feel like I have to ask permission to do work on my own deed, if it’ll be ok with Angry and Gop… especially angry. If it interferes with his plans, he’ll be pissed.
So either way, stay at my Homestead or at the Village, I’ll be restricted from doing things I want. It’ll be a lose lose situation.

Nomatter where I move, is going to have it’s own restrictions. From rock/clay tiles, to not having enough dirt to do something. Angry’s my friend…why can’t I handle living with him?!
I have to think about angry’s happiness instead of my own, and it’s hard. It’s really hard.

But maybe this will still work. I got to remember, that I’ll be leaving Dragonhead back at the HS, but taking Bennie to Elysium. I have to give this a chance.
Infact… I give up fighting with him. If he wants his plan, so be it. I will accept it. Maybe this will work out at the end. I just have to make it work.
With Elysium, I’ll have another chance to do what I want. And, if I have to ask permission… so be it. It has to be better than hardly having ANY option to improve my HS.
Plus, there will be a reason to need piers, since my three boats will have their homes there, including my future Cog. 🙂
And on top of it, it’s as long and wide as my old homestead. And when Elysium’s writs either get destroyed or rot away, I could use that as farmland, or something.
