My Adventure to the Castle.
My adventure to the castle, started back in May 16th, which was a Saturday morning, I remember the date specifically for a certain reason, I was searching around Google for a good Private Server to play, when I stumbled upon Universalscape. It was just the numbered IP address back then, so I joined it, and I was slightly confused, wasn’t sure on how to make money and the sorts, and I wasn’t using Silab+, I was in fact using, MoparScape, which therefore made everyone invisible, I asked around, asking for information on how to make money, and someone called, “IPotYouDrop” came along, telling me to teleport to ::Draynor and to chop the tree’s and fletch the logs into bows unstrung, and sell them in the quest tab, which then created me a new quest to become… Rich…? Sadly, Saturday are usually busy days for me, so I left the server for a few days.
May 19th, the day my journey on the Forums started, and the journey of mine and Dillons friendship began. I joined the server, simply because, Dillon and ‘Council’ told me to or else I got banned, (a lot of you probably won’t know who ‘Council’ is, and if you’re wondering, it’s an account Dillon and Bill thought up of, to make sure people joined the forums) so I joined the forums, Posting on what I can, and getting to know a lot of the people, and on the night, I spoke to Dillon, and how he needed some donations, to help the forums, to stop the pop ups and allow the forums to have more flexible space for it to ‘breathe’ in, so to speak. The next day, maybe a day after, Vadim, Donates enough money to get rid of the pop ups and to give the forums more breathing space, we all congratulated the forums in a whole, and thanked Vadim for his lovely and grateful donation. A few days later, was probably one of the most, nerve racking days within a game I’ve had, I was promoted as a forum moderator, I know how forums work, and I know how computers work, but, to have this responsibility is something new to me, Dillon trusted me, and so I had the responsibility to look after his forums, I was grateful for the opportunity, very grateful. The day after, I was promoted to Player Moderator, also another shock, I take my positions very serious and do the best I can, I took this as if it was a real job, helping where I can and doing what I can to enforce rules, after this what I thought was hard work, was gracefully met with a promotion, In game Admin, and Forum Admin, I knew what Dillon expected from me and I told him I’d try my best to fulfill his expectations. So obviously, as you can expect, as Admin I faced some challenges, some from staff, testing me, some from ignorant, unintelligent and stubborn players, I was doing well, I believe anyways, I was then promoted, to Head Of Forum Staff, and then not long after, Head Of Staff – In-game This job also threw a few challenges my way, some difficult some not so difficult, some actually rather annoying, but all were important to follow through, with the correct manner and attitude.
Around this time, I was going through a few private problems, and probably should of done the smart thing to take a step back from the server and forums for a few day’s but Adam being Adam decided to say “No, bugger that, I’m sure I can handle the Server & Forum problems that get thrown my way” Sadly, I couldn’t and to my own fault, I was demoted, right back to the bottom, I wasn’t too bothered, I wanted to help the server, and even as a player, I was still able to help, so that wasn’t a worry. This day, was also the day of the 24 hour Skype Chat challenge, which failed terribly, at the 16th hour, if my memory serves me correctly?... Dillon was annoyed at that, but afterwards, I cannot remember if it was the same day, but Dillon told us to go on stickam, I think it’s called stickam anyways, where Him and Jon we’re on rockband, Jon being as crazy as ever, and funny, and Dillon being Dillon, they were drinking, an extreme amount of energy drinks and probably didn’t do them any good, internally (
) but Dillon was on Cam and so was Bill, so I went on, but for some reason, my Cam was showing up upside down, we had our giggles about that for about 15-30 minutes, Don’t know why, but it was just a memory that is memorable, no reason as of why, just is, it was a funny day.
After this, Mod Jack, became apart of the server, he recommended me as Moderator, and to be fair, Dillon wasn’t to bothered whether I was or not, he simply came to me on msn, asking if I wanted to or not, and I accepted. Again, I was doing a satisfying job I was happy staying at Moderator, I didn’t let anyone know, but at the time if the opportunity came around to be promoted, I would of declined, for the simple fact – I was not ready, I still had personal problems, that I would not of been able to handle so much pressure, not to bothered anymore though.
After this, the BIG scare, the big ‘oh dear sh*t Dillon’ the whole, I’m closing the server down situation arose, I actually had 100% faith in Dillon, knowing he wouldn’t keep it down. A day, maybe 2 later, he put it back up, a whole new refresh to staff, the day I started playing again, he came to me, saying he had plans for me, Head Moderator, was his plans, I took this position on kindly, and I was even more serious with this position, with Marco, as a moderator at the time, I tried teaching him how to control situations. The new start to the server pressed Dillon towards new plans, for example, Making Admins Unknown, making already playing characters, into Unknown Admins, therefore, complications between admins and friends were avoided. A few days in, I requested that Dillon, would make a new forum board ‘Moderator Applications’ a place where normal players could… Apply, for Moderator, and I myself, would take care of them. My request was approved, and Dillon created the board, putting nothing but trust in me, the first set of Applications were sent in, one name was highlighted as soon as the application was sent in, Avenged Sin, he was great, and was promoted shortly after, he demands a boat load of respect from everyone, but he demoted Marco, and I disagreed, I was silly too, but I requested to be demoted, so Dillon also, accepted this request and demoted me.
I apologized to Avenged Sin, and also Dillon, I used my own Application I created to apply for mod, and I was accepted, which brings me to today.
The reason for this story, is Dillon, as a joke asked me to write a story, about my time on the server and forums, it’s not in-detail, at all, mostly, because I hate writing non-fictional stories, I hate it with a passion, so that’s my reason, It is pointless and I know, it’s not exactly 2000 words, but I feel like most people will become bored of this, but I have decided, I’m going to write a story, maybe, a page or 2 at a time, posting them up, etc, for you all to read and review, and tell me what you think, they will be distinctly fictional, and obviously untrue, so keep your eyes pealed for those stories, as I do believe they will fulfill the needs and interests of some of you. Thank you, if you read all this, it’s pretty much just a joke post, because I don’t think Dillon or Sergio expected me to ACTUALLY write it, but here you go. 1353 words of nonsense. ily
