I started the day (7th day) like all the others. Running from one shiny light to the next. Mission there, sweating there, new TP here, shiny thingy over there. Look a Berycycle! OH and what's a daily token again?
Then (about 6 hours in) I thought- hey how many people set out to intentionally waste/spend/drop/destroy/etc (with no ROI/MU), PED in the game? All I have heard in rookie chat for 6.5 days was everything about return on investment, speculation about land area dividends (and how much "we" need to invest in the loot pool), cost of decay, best economical use of guns and armor, how loot is great here and sucks over there. So I thought- hey what about someone who wants to lose PEDs? It's a rookie question for rookie chat. As a day 7 player I knew of one thing to do, drop 100 probes in the same spot. But I thought surely rookie chat could help with a more colorful way to lose money...
Two hours later (after a lot of misunderstandings of what I was really wanting to do) I had a space ship, a booster rocket thingy, and 10 ped in oil/gasoline (with no idea how to take off). 20 more minutes in rookie chat I learned space bar goes up and left alt..... i mean LEFT CNTL goes down). After begging and pleading and giving my position in chat I finally roped someone into killing me in space. My killer was very understanding and obliged when I paid to be transported to ark (they wanted to repair my ship but I refused).
I STILL own the ship and all my stuff though as I was in something called non-lootable space.
What was cool is that I had more fun today, seeing space and a new planet than I have so far in Entropia.
I guess my question is this. How should I waste my ped in the future (IF I can get back to caly or figure out ark)? So far I have lost/invested an actual value of 5 ped (50 cents american) for everything (TT value of space ship, booster/rocket thing, oil and transportation to ARK). With markup of oil and ship I might be at a 7 ped deficit total. Oh and I am now on another freeking planet. Not too shabby for 50 - 70 cents American (I think).
Oh and rookie chat- I am sorry I was a weird duckling tonight. I just thought- hey someone has to refill your loot pool after all No hard feelings!
