Scoutman's Diary

[Scoutman]

So... uh where to start ah! ok hello there guys, Im Scoutman. Some of you already know me a bit, some of you have no Fng clue of who this ugly demented person might be (some might think this way). Anyway, here is a brief info of myself:

I started the xmas of 2004 as a regular orange suited avatar in atlas haven at VU recent to 7.0 where plenty of glitches surrounded me and (OH YEAH! SWEAT WAS A GOLD MINE now that I realize it) I was beggining to get acquainted with the game basics; the sweat, the goods, the game system itself... I dont want to tire your eyes with all the crap I have to write about the events till this day so ill skip to what happened a while ago. I had a fabulous global of 78 PED some items are still in auction as we speak, or should I say as I speak hehe. I know, you might care less, or you might think this is just lame, or the unfamous "My grandma can loot more than that!" well it is a personal achievement I have done for the second time in the game so far, so all gratz are welcome.

Resuming with the briefing, I had the incentive of having a proper attire to receive the upcomming VU 8.11, which is full of surprises according to MA staff, and so I did. I purchased some nice semi uber looking clothes to make a change in style and till then now I am on the resting grounds of PA waiting to relog. and thats about it. More info to come the next day.

P.S I want to thank MS9 for allowing me this opportunity to relate to other EU participants and non EU as well. And special thanks to Lykke for being so kind with all the people around her and devoted to get everyone to know her a little better in her diary, which inspired me to start this one.

What was I thinking?

So here I is!!! the first day of VU 8.11. I came to explore the new areas "hence my name" the old fashioned way, of course running. I didnt do any cheap stuff like wormhole cab, or Long ass range tp, of course I was short on ME and I only had lesser chip so I felt like saving. Starting from Myrene Island i see the new West checkpoint close to Pvp 4, looks like the resting ground of the ninja turtles . then from there I do a whole 45 degree swim to the north checkpoint. felt relieved I hit land after having my virtual legs numb LOL! then I made my way to Aukmul Island, the TP introduced on this VU. and well ive never seen so many people gather in that place; to me was unexpected. must be because there are new mobs around the area.

After all that is done, i go to RL class...boring by the way. and chit chatting with some friends and well. same old. then back home. I came to see the auction to check if my items were sold, then by changing the item buyout price of an item, I DIDNT REALIZE IT SOONER but that is really anoying to know that, i lose some money on just placing item. YES I KNOW its is the fee% which i totally disagree on, and there the argument starts...

MA couldnt think of any cheap way of making money. EBAY does the same thing, but more features are included so its worth it. fee of item listing and Additional fee after item sold I find that to be a ripoff. I would gladly pay fee only after item is sold, but for item listing its ridiculous. what if the item doesnt get sold... what happens?? people tell you in the face TOO BAD SO SAD! not only that, what if someone wants to sell an expensiv item in auction with a big TT value, or market value, having no peds on hold, you cant place it, why?? take a good guess. I know fee is in % now, used to be 1 ped flat fee and that was a major loss then for low value items. but still Item listing fee is a mother that pisses me off.

after all the crap was temporarilly over, I go hunt for a bit nearby and POW! , a late minute global of 69 ped, happy, but pissed about the auction stuff. I keep forgeting to take pix of my globals next time ill place it in the global gallery hehe.

till next day.

Verse number 1: Sacral Agenesis.

This past week its been full of compromises, none of them have been pleasing. both real life and ingame has been a hard hit. I am at the though of a chronic depression. I felt like my body is split in half and I am condemmed to live in such burden.

In real life, I am a college student, I havent been able to keep up with some assignments, doing it on my own and being around such bothersome family members makes my life impossible. I feel I am everyone's bitch around it, doing everything they ask me to do without any compliments. I cant rely on anyone but myself in there, and everywhere I go I am surrounded by people I can never trust. I dont know if its for better or for worse, but I am the one being affected, not them.

Ingame situation, The game is full of secrecies. Neonaven bought the site and I had no clue he owned this site. I asked him when, how and why, no answer... I felt that was a bucket of cold water he threw on me. I am aware anyone can see this diary including him. Here I am just try to make the point. Here I can at least have some privacy of self taught lessons without anyone making comments like "sucks to be you". I know also I am not the only one living in the same predicament. this is also to say out loud how people like me feels. I can be compared with some, but there is no equal.

Currently I am at my last PEDs in game, watching these neverending arguments (which I loathe beyond reasoning) about EF nonsense and bringing back old but awful topics I didnt feel like talking about. Also being eye withness of cowbrested Warrants and other challengers showing relentless spraying and praying with their ludicrous expensive toys. I felt humiliated and not being able to match their economy. Perhaps this world is not meant for me.

Although I met the Official guides and several nice people, I might reconsider and do the same decision ViagraFalls took: Quit game for good once and for all. Sad to say but true.

Verse number 2: Nunc Dimittis

This is Scoutman, after several months of not replying to myself the diary, didn't have the guts of doing so, pain and agony... almost in the verge of quitting the game and all in it for good. But I said, No, this is not how its meant to end, I must go on, even if it means to do sacrifices, I must keep on going, because there is people that I look up to, and if they don't know it, I must let them know that I exist because of them. My task is not completed until I achieve that. One of those people exist among us, a goddess of retribution. Devoted to those that are in need with the mere presence alone. This canticle means just that. I will not quit till I fulfill my purpose.

To that all of you that helped me see the truth of things. I thank you, I swear to you that I will not quit at this time of crisis, especially when a new page in our era in the Entropia Universe is about to set forth in the land of Calypso.
