Lessons of Life from a pixellized game.
What wouldn't I give,
to be her guitar?
It's just admiration. I think all guys have the 'I want to be the thing she uses' kind of mentality. Let's say X has a random girl he likes. If the girl is a warrior, he'd be her sword.
I'd want to be her armour though. Can hug the body.
OK I got banned for around 2 days before I cleared things up with the Multihunter, who is like the moderator of the game. Before I got banned, I got attacked by this bastard, who is in the confederacy of my alliance. Which means that he is an ally of the alliance I was in.
After I got whacked, I told the alliance leader, who read but didn't reply the message. I said something like 'I got banned, and attacked by him. Would strike once the ban goes off.'
So when the ban went off, I whacked that bastard. How dare he attack me. Bitch. So after whacking him for the first time, I whacked him again, destroying his army completely. He said he attacked me for his heroes experience. I attacked him and my hero levelled up. And my hero killed his hero. Beat that, bastard.
Then after that, my alliance leader kicked me out and IGM-ed me something like 'WHY THE CRAP ARE YOU ATTACKING THOSE IN OUR CONFEDERACY?!" After that, I got kicked out of the alliance and the bitch attacked me.
That happened at around 5AM in the morning. It was like 4 attacks coming. The first was a raid, and I figured that it was a clearing wave, and the most it could do is take my resources. So I spammed away my resources and trained troops. And sent them out for a raid before the next 3 waves of attacks land.
Of course you people wouldn't understand, but that's OK. I'm just going to blabber on about Travian and if you don't like it, you can like skip to the next part of the post.
So I figured that the next 3waves of attacks consisted of battering rams and catapults. Battering rams can destroy my earth wall. Think of city walls. Battering rams destroy that. Catapults destroy buildings within my village.
Well, my troops did well. They staved off the 3 waves and destroyed every single battering ram, soldier and catapult that the bitch sent.
My hero levelled up again, duh. So yea, I'm proud of my troops. But they got annihilated by a 5th wave the bitch sent, and she included her hero there. That was inevitable I guess.
So Kaisheng sent me some reinforcements, the likes of which she would never be able to break through. But it's gonna take a long time to come. He sent at yesterday's morning, and now is 4AM. The first reinforcements would arrive in 5hours time from now. The bitch wakes up and attacks at 5AM. Different country mah. So yea. I guess she'd have a nasty surprise when she finds out that I joined a powerful alliance.
She dang hum one. She doesn't dare to attack people from powerful alliances.
And her alliance is very disorganized. Quite useless. I once attacked someone from another alliance, and that was quite a powerful alliance lah. Then she bitched about it, saying that that'd spark off a war that she would lose. So I don't think she'd dare to attack me, now that I'm in an alliance much stronger than hers.
Bloody bitch. Want make my life in Travian difficult. I'd show her hell. That's if I become stronger. Which would definitely happen.
What did I learn from that?
One can never survive alone. Seriously, in the world of Travian, you are not alone. You can be whacked anytime, for little or no reasons at all. You can be the strongest player, but still get raped by a united alliance.
You cannot survive solely on an individualistic streak. That just doesn't happen. There are no rules governing the world. It's like living in a lawless Singapore, where fights can occur anytime and is not deemed illegal.
If that's the world we live in, then a lot of people would have to stay in hospitals perpetually.
Getting a strong alliance would help me I guess. It all boils down to how you react in such a situation. Would you try to solo and tank off a bitch bent on destroying your village, or ask for help?
By the way, I still feel quite useless. I named the village after my special someone and this shit happens. I guess it's a sign from above. =\
Went to see my little baby cousin yesterday. He's like the height of my forearm. I remember my other baby cousin, who is rather much of a toddler right now(3years old). She was around that size when she was born, too. Heh. This one is like 3days old only?
A bundle of joy indeed. (:
I carried him for awhile also. Whoa. I was quite scared. It's a living human being, and it's so small. Heh. Very cute.
Watching movie with friends later. And it's already 5AM. I think my sleeping hours are screwed. I don't know how many times have I said that already. Zomg.
