Cruelty

[Nictos]

When I was a newbie with 7 survival I rode down a river in search for an escape -- a place where my things wouldn't get stolen and maybe I'd have a better start. I was devasted when I found out my bunny leathers were stolen and I'd never have the backpack I wanted. I've never gotten much further in the game than trying to get leathers. Hell, I barely just had learned to catch a rabbit. I went to my russian, more developed neighbor and stole his one his 20 boats and blasted off into the horizon.

As I reached the other side of the lake I saw someone carrying a boat, a hearthling that I rarely had a chance to see. We exchanged hellos and I told them my story -- that things were stolen from me in my sleep and I was emotionally wrecked. They offered to take me in as one of their own and I was very excited for that. Their names were Finnigan and Jef. They gave me backpacks and curiosities and made me one of their own -- on a village that wasn't claimed quite yet.

After time I took on a job as a miner and mined all day and night to make up for them helping me get out of the wilderness. They created their own part for me in the town where I could smith and work and I did just as such. I learned how to trade, how to build, and quickly got out of the newbie stage and built things for all of them -- made of metal because I focused 90% of my stats to be smithing and survival just for them. I was happy helping them and I enjoyed being appreciated for doing something.

These people were the first I've ever colonized and worked with and with that were my first game friends. I trusted them as my village mates and considered us to be a family -- I would do anything for them, and expected them to help me in small tasks as I had helped them in countless. I made several friends through them from trading such as a korean named Calipa who I trusted to be a good role model, and another village mate named Memento Mori -- who I had respected very much.

Today was the day our town became a real village. We got a claim and everything, I was very excited. I was playing and figuring out today's plans with 5 chests of ores, trades coming in, 5 70~80 stones stored, and many coppers bars made for the ones who adopted me. Calipa came inside the town, I was very happy to see him. He began attacking me with punches, I assumed he was joking around. I was confused at first as to why a friend was punching me, I assumed he was kidding about. But after a couple hits and me running around confused he knocked me down. The villagers that adopted me came up to my seemingly dead body and as I waited for an answer or to tell me this was a joke, Jef instead said,

"He's not dead yet. Another punch would do it".

I had enough time to message him one thing, but at that point I didn't know what.

Instead, I just said "..."

And I was murdered.

I stared at my blank character screen for a couple minutes to absorb what had just happened.

I don't know what the reason why or why this happened. But I've never felt more used and betrayed in my entire life. This happened 10min before I posted this. I learned no matter how nice I can be, no matter how much I try to help people and work endless hours to help them develop their down, a person can never be trusted. I am deeply hurt and I thank anyone who has read my story. I'll try and play again, but I'll need time. It's one thing to be griefed, but this is much, much more.


Thank you.

[kLauE]

Can you pm me coordinates from the village + name? I revenge your death

[Bugssy]

This game is F-ing brutal that way.

You learn never to trust anyone, only the foxes!

[Woot]

That really really sucks man, what was the name of your village?
I'd really like some more information as to why this happened.

I wish i could pen up foxes and keep them as pets. They're so soft and loving.

Unfortunatly the village had no name yet... The village claim hadn't finished drying and they were still deciding on the name. All I can offer is their name -- Jef and Finnigan. With the murderer friend, Calin, who owns a town that starts with a K.. can't exactly remember.

Thank you for all the positive posts. :] I think he's right, all I can trust are the foxes.

[sabinati]

wow that's pretty fucked up

[daemmonium]

Either you didnt post a part of the history, or they are the most retarded guys ever.

Why would someone kill a trustworthy worker?! It's one of the hardest things to find in this game.

Post co-ords and let the rangers do justice
