Almost all the day yesterday, I&#8217;ve been sawing planks, making nails, and other things.<br \/>\nUnfortunately I cannot have a staircase&#8230; yet, as carts cannot use them; only Openings will work. Thankfully it&#8217;s not the end of the world. All I need to do is make sure I have everything I need Loaded\/Unloaded on the second floor that I need done, then I can simply destroy the Opening and build the Staircase. Another good thing is that the Opening doesn&#8217;t require as many materials as the Staircase does.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also waiting for the crops (corn) I planted for B2 to grow, so he can practice his HFC skill. A few days ago, he made his first Meal. Sadly they aren&#8217;t really filling right now (about 21QL), which is why he needs to work on his skill to make them better for us.<br \/>\nThe reason I need them to grow, is so they can be removed for the rest of the plan to work. Everything relys on them now.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nAnd now, to go back to.. yes, more of this crap you guys thought I was done with. \ud83d\ude1b<br \/>\nHonestly, I&#8217;m -mostly- over this. But the week after her passing, there&#8217;s still two thoughts I literally can&#8217;t bury with her.<br \/>\nThe first thing is the betrayal, of course. She did tell me to forgive them, but how can I? How can I forgive\/forget betrayal? How can I forgive\/forget seeing NO remorse from them? How can I forgive\/forget not even giving me another option?!<br \/>\nThat &#8220;I feel like I wish I could&#8217;ve done more&#8221; feeling also plays with this. I guess I keep being reminded of the other two dragons which are likely being captive somewhere, and wish I could&#8217;ve been one of them. Yet I can wish until I was blue in the face, and it&#8217;ll never bring her back.<\/p>\n<p>But the second thing is even stronger than this: &#8220;Will this happen again?&#8221; Yes, she&#8217;s gone, and I can&#8217;t bring her back. I get that. But I don&#8217;t want this happening again to me. I don&#8217;t even want to know there&#8217;s another one around.<br \/>\nAnd the simplest way to prevent this, is to do something that&#8217;s against the rules; removing access to the abandoned deed by removing the road connecting to mine&#8211; literally banning myself (and others) from going up there. It clearly states it&#8217;s against the rules to alter public roads unless you made them.<br \/>\nYet I have an ace up my sleeve, for that road <em>isn&#8217;t<\/em> classified as a &#8216;highway&#8217;. Plus no one travels on it, because no one comes here. There&#8217;s a reason most of the deeds around me are abandoned husks of their former selves.<br \/>\nPlus, if the GMs see me and try to ban me from the game? Bring it on. I won&#8217;t care anymore. That will be the ultimate &#8220;fuck you&#8221; to Wurm from me.<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t be completely removing access, though, as the former owners of my deed made a secondary access route via the side gate. It also leads to all points East of the deed and eventually connects to highways (which are public). I just want to make it hard for anyone (even myself) to go up there and witness what happened.<br \/>\nSo if a dragon shows up, up there, I won&#8217;t know. I won&#8217;t care either. I just don&#8217;t want to see that road. I got to &#8216;burn&#8217; it out of my mind. And the only way is to remove it.<\/p>\n<p>.<br \/>\nOne last thing I&#8217;ve been debating of doing, is leaving the Alliance. I added Garit as a friend, in hopes he would understand what I&#8217;m going through (and to talk to him if I need to). Sadly he, like everyone on this server, does not. All they see it is &#8220;good job guys!&#8221;, and I&#8217;m standing there holding onto her body, trying not to break down in tears infront of everyone. There&#8217;s a reason I never said &#8220;thanks for coming&#8221; on that day. Yeah.. thanks for killing what I tried to protect from you fuckers!!<\/p>\n<p>Going back to leaving the Alliance, Garit reminded me that anyone of them would&#8217;ve probably done the same thing to me. Yes, that&#8217;s definitely true. But at least I wouldn&#8217;t be staring at the names of her uncompassionate killers.<br \/>\nYet even before all of this mess, I still debated on leaving. Felt like I didn&#8217;t fit in and stuff. I&#8217;m just curious what are the downsides of not being in an Alliance (obviously besides not having anyone to talk to). And if I ever need Marble again, I&#8217;ll just order some and go pick it up.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s really no point in staying. As long as Wurm still has a community who is willing to help, that&#8217;s really all I need. The only time I needed to be a part of the Alliance was in the early days of trying to get back up on my two feet and getting my deed back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before I get to today&#8217;s facepalm-filled post (&#8220;I THOUGHT you said there would be NO MORE dragon-related posts!!&#8221;), I wanted to announce an update to my deed redesign.
