Today has been like a car with &#8216;DRAMA&#8217; written on the side, with the acceleration pedal stuck. And that car ran into my reputation. Fuck does it hurt. Honestly, though..I never had a reputation to begin with. But I do now, and it&#8217;s one I don&#8217;t wish to have (but I&#8217;m stuck with it).<br \/>\nThe day started with logging in, and wondering why I&#8217;m even doing so. Cybaru&#8217;s alt was semi-active, attempting to enchant my mailbox. I went over to where she was, and stared at the dirt of where the entrance is. All I could feel was devastation over what is going to happen this Friday, to something I love. A something with beautiful green eyes and that &#8220;Hi, I&#8217;m gonna #REKT you now&#8221; smile&#8230; that I will soon never see again. :'(<br \/>\nHasn&#8217;t 2016 claimed enough lives?!.. I guess not.<\/p>\n<p>But..I did my best to try to keep my mind off of her by getting to work on imping the things I said I would, starting with B2&#8217;s boat. Yet while I was imping it, I kept thinking about this utter bullshit Jax said to me (that the dragon couldn&#8217;t be contained). If she couldn&#8217;t, then why are people trying to pen her?!?! And holy fuck, this &#8216;Whykillme&#8217; guy was SO FUCKING CLOSE to finding her (not believing my attempt of throwing him off the trail). Thing is, when I was over there of where I found the dragon, I was checking the fence gates&#8230;and saw his name being the owner. That means Irondragon wasn&#8217;t the previous owner before I came back to Wurm..it was &#8216;Whykillme&#8217;, the one that <em>also<\/em> wanted to pen her and keep her as a pet. For the longest time, I thought he was one of the hunters.<br \/>\nBack to imping B2&#8217;s boat, I saw Garit on once, and told him what happened (and how Cybaru couldn&#8217;t help because of this love spell requiring a artifact). He&#8217;s all &#8220;uhh..what? No it doesn&#8217;t. I used it for some trolls and they turned friendly&#8221;. Yet he also didn&#8217;t want to chew her out over it (saying to &#8220;let her&#8221; believe). WHAT. THE. FUCK?! WE COULD HAD FUCKING SAVED HER LIFE WITH THAT SPELL!!!<br \/>\nSo it seems Cybaru was playing as a double-agent with the hunters, telling me it wouldn&#8217;t work. I wanted so badly for Garit to tell her off, but he refused!<br \/>\nSo now EVERYONE wants her dead?! Even people I thought I could trust. They backstabbed me. I fell for it.<\/p>\n<p>Why..is the world so cruel, when you can&#8217;t even trust your allies? Yet the more I think about it&#8230;&#8230;., maybe Cybaru <strong>was right<\/strong>. Garit may&#8217;ve used it on trolls&#8230;but there was no word if it would&#8217;ve worked on uniques. Plus, Garit tells me this &#8216;artifact&#8217; can only be found on Chaos, and can&#8217;t be transferred back over to the Freedom Isles.<br \/>\nAs I said before, and I&#8217;ll say it again..I don&#8217;t know what to believe in anymore. And yes, I will admit it, I am making way&#8230;WAY too much of a big deal over this. But I can&#8217;t help it. It&#8217;s not &#8220;just a game&#8221; to me.  It&#8217;s morals. And all I&#8217;m doing is making a total fool of myself and looking like I should go see those nice men in their white coats. \ud83d\ude1b<br \/>\nIt is, a problem. Yes. It&#8217;s ridiculous, even to me. I&#8217;m ashamed of myself for how far I&#8217;ve taken this. I&#8217;m breaking friendships (with blame and distrust), over a bunch of stupid code that takes the form of a dragon! And leaving Wurm is not going to help. ..Only killing her, will. It will <strong>end<\/strong> this madness (that I alone caused for myself), and then I can <em>finally<\/em> go back to my normal Wurm life (being anti-social and anti-constructive, bitching about Wurm Logic and having to cook).<\/p>\n<p>Moving back to imping B2&#8217;s boat, I got it to at least 35QL. And then I had a non dragon-related idea:.. &#8220;why don&#8217;t I just get B2 up to the Impalong and let them do this? Plus, he can take my un-imped lamps up there and <em>properly<\/em> put them in (one at a time)?&#8221;<br \/>\nAnd that&#8217;s what I did. Now that B2 has a boat, he can get himself up to the Impalong without me and do it. Might as well take advantage of the fact they&#8217;re extending it through New Years Day. I can&#8217;t go for him, because of the influx of people that would show up to the area (and I gotta be here to make sure nothing on and around my deed gets taken, just incase).<br \/>\nAlready I had a person show up and log off somewhere while I was offline: name of &#8220;Trevortheholy&#8221;, driving a Rowboat of all things, parked next to Cybaru&#8217;s sailboat. Going to assume more boats are going to be showing up in and around my boat dock sometime tomorrow. It&#8217;ll be like a mini-Impalong, right here at Oceanside Retreat. Except..it won&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>So I got B2 on, instructed him on what to do (and told him to stay there until either everything&#8217;s done or the Impalong ends), and he left with no problem. Meanwhile, I went to imp the guard tower. I managed to get that up to 40QL. One time I thought I actually got it to Rare status for &#8220;You suddenly have a moment of inspiration&#8230;&#8221; triggering. However, it felt like I did, because not only did I get my second guard back..I got a 3rd one! Hot damn! \ud83d\ude00<br \/>\nWhen I spun towards my deed, I saw a hellhound prancing around on the grass. Time to try out the guards! Though the hellhound died, it required two &#8216;help&#8217; commands to get the 3rd guard to assist. Not liking that lag.<\/p>\n<p>Back up in my house, I then started working on 6 armchairs for the table outside. After many fails (and making more planks\/shafts than I needed), I got them done. I also used all the square cloth in my BSB that I got last year, for this very thing. Couldn&#8217;t find them at FM, so I had to make them. One time I asked B2 if they could ask the helpers at the Impalong to please make them for me. Thankfully I didn&#8217;t have to bother them, which is always a good thing.<br \/>\nB2 then arrived at the Impalong. I forgot to give him my pickaxe to try once again of getting CoC on it, so I had him fine the mailbox and gave him it through that. And that&#8217;s pretty much it with him. It was his own little adventure through Indy. Also, he can now cross-server back to me (remotely turned ownership of the boat over to him).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m sitting in one of the chairs I made, overlooking the NW island and just waiting for the time I would normally log out and start making something like this. Checked kchat, since there was no more fear of anyone finding her. And&#8230;it seems certain people have <em>not<\/em> forgotten my fuckup statement of the day I first found her. The question from Mr &#8220;Champagnedragon&#8221; was asking me &#8220;what happened to teh dragon that was after you?&#8221;<br \/>\nSince this is supposed to be a Private group, I tried to lie myself out of this mess by saying &#8220;No idea&#8221;, followed by &#8220;It ran off somewhere, never seen it since.&#8221; Then someone named &#8220;Nirav&#8221; joins the conversation, yelling &#8220;there&#8217;s a dragon?!&#8221; Again, I tried to lie myself out of this, hoping that all of this would just be swept under the rug. For the most part, it worked perfectly. I felt I was finally in the clear.<br \/>\nI told Tulsi about it in Skype, saying these guys were &#8220;wannabe dragon hunters&#8221;. I had no idea, that this would be a HUMONGOUS mistake. No, Tulsi wasn&#8217;t included in the hunting party. But I felt he would listen and not tell anyone about this. I felt confident. &#8230;. I now regret that feeling.<br \/>\nHe comes on without warning, and starts to make a fool of himself in kchat of trying to get Nirav to respond to him. But this wasn&#8217;t the worst thing. Ohhhh no. He..tells them what I said about them being wannabe dragon hunters! Oh my..GOD! TULSI!! NO!! FUCK!! And also, remember that lie I had them set on? He tells them that I have her penned! Yep, just kill me now and get it over with. NOW they&#8217;re going to come and kill her!! YOU&#8230;IDIOT!!!<br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\nYet, he&#8217;s also <em>not<\/em> an idiot. <strong>I&#8217;m<\/strong> the idiot, because I was so pissed off over the fact she killed me and wouldn&#8217;t allow me to get my stuff back. And after she was pinned, I stupidly told them where she was, and how I would arrange a hunting party after the Impalong. None of the alliance members know of this stupid thing I did.. except for Cybaru (I assume, because her alt logged out without saying a word). And looking back at the chat, I just see more and more, how far I&#8217;ve taken this. I&#8217;m no longer saddened over this dragon&#8217;s eventual death, I&#8217;m more ashamed at myself and feel like smacking myself with a plank just enough to wake me up to reality, that this IS just a fucking game!! WHY do I do these embarrassing and down right humiliating things to myself?! Once again, I refuse to think before I react until later on&#8230;, when it&#8217;s too late.<br \/>\nNo wonder I have no friends. No wonder why I live alone in this deed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today has not been a fun day.
