The choices I have to make"},"content":{"rendered":"

Yesterday was quite eventful. As said, how I was thinking of going to Exo. I actually did, and the area is.. well, semi-available. There are these four structures named “Libia’s shed”, spread out on this land (guesstimating about 7’ish tiles between eachother).
\nThere is a mine on the North side of the area, but it was filled to the brim with mobs (spiders, trolls, a few hellhounds, a few wolves, and a lava fiend). I did my best to utilize the guard tower near’ish to the mine (by kiting them over to the entrance and calling the guards), in order to eventually get in there and examine a few samples of the ore (to get their base quality).
\nBut as night loomed over, I contemplated of making a campsite here and waiting ’till the 27th (as the 28th is the day I actually<\/span> need to throw in money into the upkeep), in hopes of meeting someone in the area (that knows who built these 1×1 structures).
\n—
\nI also decided to start making a thread in the Wurm Forum, in hopes of contacting someone. Suddenly I heard the sound of combat. Check local, and see ‘Wolfkilta’. For some reason, the name escapes me.. but I could’ve sworn I met him when I was exploring the server last year. Oh well. I asked him if he knew about the structures and who did them. Turns out it was him, and asked him to come over (to properly show him).
\nNearly 10 minutes pass, he shows up (along with someone named ‘Agaa’). I try to explain my situation (without the drama about how my only mine was stolen from me). He didn’t seem that interested in wanting to give me the area, saying how this is an old deed after his friend, and “trying to secure my(his) canal”.
\nThis ‘Agaa’ person asks: “you want to settle here?” It almost felt like.. “but, there’s other places of this server. Why<\/strong> would you want to live here<\/em> of all places…?”
\nSo then Wolf wanted to show me the boundary of his tree farm, which was just up the road to the West. I didn’t really see a farm per se, but I was all “okay, *shrug* I don’t see a problem with this”.
\nThen he asked me, how big would the deed be (after I had just said earlier (when I was explaining myself), that I live alone, and the deed wouldn’t be that big). But we walked around the area, and I tried to trace out how it would look. But I told him “I want the mine entrance to be deeded”. He says “oh there i have plan on highway”.. a highway? I hoped it wouldn’t be anywhere near the mine. And then he says “btw poor veins there”.
\nUgh.. seriously? So I guess there’s no real point in trying to get into the mine now. But I didn’t want to believe him. I wanted to see for myself.
\nSo he semi-helped me clear out the rest of the stragglers in the mine, and then got a few samples. There was sandstone.. but it’s 29QL. Wow. I didn’t even bother to ask him to test the Iron veins there, as I’m sure they would be bad as well.
\nWhile I was in there, Agaa said “not only do we live here, there are a few deeds, you should ask them too”… wait, what? But, I went along with it, saying that I would do it.
\n—
\nSol is now starting to rise again. I asked Wolf where would this proposed highway be.. right infront of the mine. It was not looking promising of living here, and it was pretty obvious that I was being deterred from doing so.
\nI was ready to head home (and cross this off my list of ideas to work around the problem). Told him it’s been a pleasure yadda yadda, and then he says “btw, your deed, will it be long term? or not” … uhh, it’s NONE of your fucking business if the deed will be long term or not!! But I didn’t say any of this to him. All I said was “I try to make it long term, as it is<\/em> where I live.”
\nLook, I would never say that to anyone who decides to live near me. In Wurm, you’re allowed to live wherever you want.. even when you own my only mine, you have every right to do so (and it was my fault for not deeding it sooner).
\nAnd I think the reason why no one deeded it, was because of that 1×1 structure there. It was gone when I went over there (and I can only assume Wargasm placed it there, to deter a deed)… that’s actually what I should do (if I find another mine), instead of deeding. Build a structure to prevent anyone from building there, and imp up the walls to as high as my Carp can go. It would cost a LOT less.<\/p>\n

After that, I hopped in my boat and went out of the canal. It’s like, this guy acts like he owns the ENTIRE fucking Northwest quadrant of Exodus! And because of this, he feels he has the right to give permission of someone that isn’t one of his friends, to live in ‘his land’. He has NO RIGHT to do that shit! …Of course, I could say the same for myself; with my dislike for neighbors, and almost feeling jealous that I<\/em> can’t have this power (to control a huge area of land). Because if I could, I would be able to stop the person from taking my only mine. \ud83d\ude1b
\n—
\nInstead of going home ‘in defeat’, I decided to “go visit an old friend” in Indi. Seeing how I was still on the Northwest side, I figured I’ll set a course to Deli, then turn around to Indi. However, the RNGods had different plans for me. Because as I ‘crossed over’ to Deli, I was stuck. I couldn’t move. I couldn’t see my boat. I was frozen in a teleporting loop. Tried logging off for about 10 minutes.. still stuck.
\nInstead of being smart and making a ticket to the GMs (because fuck seeing a Support tab for a week (just to show “ha-ha, you got fucked up by a bug!”)), I had B2 (very slowly) come over and hopefully see what actually happened to me. But when he finally crossed over to Deli, he couldn’t see me. I was hoping that with B2, I could teleport into his boat (to get myself unstuck) and then go find mine.
\nHe made the ticket for me. The first person was unable to help me (not actually being a full GM, but she forwarded the info to another GMs). However, she told me that even the GMs have ‘experienced’ this bug (but they’re able to fix themself). Another GM responded, and was all “why couldn’t Dragonhead make the ticket?” I had B2 lie, saying “he couldn’t”. Then when they ask “so is he stuck to the point he can’t make a ticket?” Ugh.. pretty sure they saw through the lie, but they were able to get me unstuck.
\nSo the next time this happens to me (hopefully it won’t).. I<\/em> will make the damn ticket. As I could see, it was hard for them to figure out who was having the issue. If I had done the ticket proper, they would had gone through a lot less hell in figuring out where I was and shit like that.
\nThis will not<\/span> happen again. Yes, the Support tab is annoying (how it pops up everytime I log in), but I can<\/span><\/em> close it out.<\/p>\n

With B2 going back home, I made it to Indi without a glitch. With the unnecessary hell (that could’ve been avoided if I had JUST made the damn ticket), Sol is setting by the time I make it to my “old friend”; old OR. Somewhat surprisingly, no one wants the old deed (but with how dead the northern side of Indi is, it shouldn’t really come as a surprise). Most of the fences are still intact (with some decaying). Even my old private mine is still there (apart from a single lava spider inside of it).
\nWith all the mobs in the area dead, I stood there.. looking at that beautiful view of the Northwest ocean that I miss so much. Wishing I could had done more for this place (aka, remove the damn clay).
\nSince there was nothing else I could do, I went back home after that.
\n—
\nNow, to go over my options (again);
\n1. Find a way to contact this \u2018Fooli\u2019 and get them to ally with me, to gain access to the mine again.
\nI find this highly unlikely. Since he’s friends with War, I doubt he’ll be friends with me. Plus, War told me that Fooli doesn’t play that often (so it would be hard to contact them). What I could do, is try to take my two signs and use them to send him a message (to contact me on Discord or something), like what Angry did in order to talk to Ruffle years ago, to get my old homestead back. It might work on this guy.
\n–
\n2. Try to get help to find a closer mine, and build a 1×1 structure over the entrance. Imp up the walls and name it ‘Dragontail Hideaway Mines’.
\nTo get help from the Cele community, I don’t know how well this will work (or if they’ll even be willing to help me). Thing is, finding a spot for a mine is one thing.. finding a mine that doesn’t have crap quality veins, is a whole different story (as War told me). He told me that he found a mine, that went all the way through the peat pits, and found NO Iron.
\nHuh.
\n(There’s also a 2.1 option. Use the southern cave canal for mining)
\n–
\n3. Move to that tucked in spot I saw in Exo\u2019s Northwest side. If it\u2019s available, I would keep the name \u2018Dragontail Hideaway\u2019.
\n<\/del>As said, this has been crossed out as an option. Hell, all of Exo should be ‘crossed out as an option’.
\n–
\n4. Stop deed hunting, and go to Wurm Unlimited. There, I won\u2019t have to come on and fund it.. but I also would be missing out on exploration of WO. I could just simply call a starter town \u2018my home\u2019, though (and have my boats there). Aka, be a simple nomad.
\nThis is Option 4. I even tested this option, seeing if my boat would be able to go into the deed border (to prevent decay), and I believe<\/em> it’ll work. Pretty sure decay will be prevented, no matter what deed the boat is in.
\nThere is also an ‘Option 4.1’. Which is the following… spending so much, on something I hardly play. The one that claimed my mine, had every right.. all because it’s just not something I enjoy. Every fucking time, it’s the same thing. I move, I build.. I get bored afterwards (and then end up feeling that I’m having to force myself just to get online, and throw money into the upkeep.
\nI’m sick of it. I’m sick of wasting silver on something I don’t enjoy doing. Seeing all of these changes happening in two months since I was last on (to once again throw another month’s worth of upkeep in), is solidifying the sickness. My peace and quiet is now and forever violated.
\nSo why not go live with someone, who’s willing to allow me access to get my skills up (or at least, give me a place to call home, with someone ELSE throwing money into their upkeep)? …Because I don’t know how in the fuck to ask such a question, and not expect backlash. They’ll want me to earn my rent (of living there), by helping them (and not understanding that I want my privacy).
\nSo who in the fuck would want a scumbag like me?
\n–
\nThere is also a 5th option. It wouldn’t help with whole mine thing, but it would make having to come on to deal with the upkeep, not as frequent. Simply throw more silver into it (like a year’s worth). Aka, be like Ivan (who usually comes on just to get the upkeep back up).
\nAgain, it wouldn’t help with not having a mine anymore.
\n—
\nAnd finally, there’s a problem. If I go with Option 4 (or 4.5)… what about Tulsi? If I disband the deed (in order to stop worrying about upkeep), where will he live? I have been trying to get him to go live somewhere else, but he chooses to live with me.
\nThis is something I’m going to have to discuss with him (before I make a decision)… and hope he actually cares about said discussion.
\nSo I spoke to him, and it seems he’s stuck to me in his own little way (meaning, he’ll go where I’ll go). I honestly wish this included exploration, but fat chance.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I think I’m going to try the 2nd option; try to find a mine that’s closer to me. I’ll ask in the Wurm Forum, and see if anyone would be willing to help me.
\nThe only things I worry about this option, is people that’ll either say “you can just mine in the cave canal”, or “try contacting Fooli”. But I’ll just tell them that I’m looking for my own mine, and don’t want to deal with anyone.
\n…But actually, I’ve decided (after hanging out with Darkoden) that I’m just going to calm down and deal with this the best I can. Hopefully one of these days, I’ll see Fooli online and attempt to convince him to give me access into the mine. Losing a mine isn’t<\/em><\/strong> the end of the world, not when I still have access to veins (via the cave canal, and\/or Wargasm). Maybe we can ally up, and I can have access to his mines.
\nThough, I’ll need to un-ally with Angry to do it. And speaking of him, most of his horses have died of old age (except for one). I might take it (if it’s a female), and hopefully it’ll live long enough to produce an offspring (to replace it).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
