I fucking hate hate hate this cycle. All the ganking, the toxicity, the lopsided fights.
It feels like way back in 2001 someone made an honest mistake and hit someone while they were dueling and the misunderstanding snowballed for 21 years and now the only thing anyone knows anymore is the other guy is the asshole and they are completely justified for being an asshole right back.
This is supposed to be a game, it's suposed to be fun. I just want some fair fights, just want to be able to show some fucking sportsmanship instead of everything being toxic.
I've been working my ass off to put together some upcoming events in Hashan (which we'll probably get raided during anyways) but I think when those are done I'm going to take a week off from Achaea. That's just where I'm at, needing to take a vacation from a fucking game.
This is horseshit.
P.S. To the turdmancer who sent me tells to gloat after winning 12 to 5, if you could softly tongue punch my bhole that'll be great.
Right now all I want out of Achaea is to get my renown, try new things, see my friends and flirt with the text wife. I combat when I want to, and skip it when I don't. I play about two hours a day and that's a good amount for me.
I started a clan for people to find groups to do forays with. I've done my best to make it a welcoming place for everyone to come get their forays in. It's probably safe to say by now that the clan has generated hundreds of thousands of renown. As long as there are forays and achaea I'm confident that the Foray Soiree will be my legacy. A little something I did to make everyone's lives a little easier. If I ever decide to retire augs, or stop playing, or Shia LaBeouf buries a hatchet in the back of my skull while I'm walking through the woods on a foggy night I think the clan will live on.
Bringing people together like that in the game makes me happy. There is already enough tribalism in real life, I don't need more of it in my fantasy life.
Anyways. Achaea is a game and it's not worth getting heated about. I'm gonna play it the way I want to. Staff of Nicator 952? Maybe, if I feel like it.
Infamy: A system in which those who have spent thousands of dollars are led to feel justified in their purchase. If you've been playing Achaea since President Bush you also get the ability to know when the person you're about to gank has a piping hot cup of coffee in their hands.
Scapegoat: The staff. Once a person signs that IRE NDA they no longer have any feelings. It's okay to blame everything on them. It's probably their fault anyways.
Woke: "Ugh I have to add a new pronoun to my scripts. These damn woke players" - Super dumb, super cringe.
Loser: Anyone who enjoys the game differently than you do.
Metagaming: I do it, but you shouldn't.
Hypocrisy: Has no translation.
Irony: See Hypocrisy.
Everything I'm trying to do IG is based off a 53 page book that I can't get anyone to read. Not being able to get people to read on a TEXT based game is so confusing to me.
Why do gods even go visible on the who list? Everytime I speak with one they either ignore me, are polite but hostile or just hostile. After writing a bunch of poems in a single day I told Scarlatti we were going to celebrate with a colab and his response was basically "keep my name out yo mouth."
Like the events are great, but in my nearing 14 years of Achaea my interactions with the gods have been either to be ignored, past over, or killed by.
I really don't get it. Like, what am I doing wrong? I try to honor the RP and honor the gods and all I ever get is big old mud pies.
Another thing. I keep getting accused of having a main character syndrome like it's a bad thing. Oh no, I want to play the game how I want! I've been very open to collaborations, and have just gotten killed for it. I don't even have curing turned on just because I want to get it over with
Finally! We can shout the lame 3 insults or talk about unfair odds all day, but if we RP in shouts everyone wants you to shut up? It's the same thing on public posts. Since I'm not slut shaming people and having a three part series on cuckholdry it's not valid, and you need to tell me to shut up?
You know ignore is a thing, right?> If you can't be bothered with that you could also... just not pay attention or turn shouts off instead of shitting on somebody for RP.
I dunno. Like I'm having the most fun I have in years because I'm playing the game how I want to, but at the same time... What the fuck?
I feel like I've been over this time and time again. I'll play how I want t o play, and you play how you want to and if we don't like it, we just don't have to play together.
Toms of people get it, and I think there are more of us than not. It's just that the bad comes in clearer than the good. Not to mention I think a lot of people hold back what they really want out of fear of what others may think.
Ah just like real life. Anyways, my girlfriend wants to makeout so I'm gonna go do that now. Peace.
