Era 19 - The Era of "Omnipotent-Impotent" Worldships!!
Posted: Fri May 22, 2009 1:04 pm
What a crazy start to the Era...
Just when I thought it would be cool and powerful getting some lucky hits and having a massive player, it is just not as satisfying as you would think?? Now I actually think I feel almost sorry for some of the players I whine about who end up so far ahead in an Era. Curious, yes, I know, but strangely cathartic as well, to finally realize that being at the Top, but not being at the Top with integrity, either due to bugs, or "grey area" play, just is not the godlike rush I thought it would be.
Now, take away the obvious 'buggishness' of this new Era, and the unique set of circumstances that put me up so high aside, there is still a strange sense of responsibility that comes from being massive. Should I go crush everyone with pathetic stats, just because I can?? Should I foster cooperation and team play (the things I always whine about as necessary for a Healthy Q server...) when I obviously do not need anyone to help me?? Crazy, just frakkin crazy thoughts... To bully when I so obviously can, is NOT satisfying at all. The old saying, "Its lonely at the top..." now suddenly takes on a very real and herebefore unappreciated meaning for ole Affy!! OK, I stop waxing philosophical, but I wanted to give each of you reading this, that have never threatened the Top 5, an idea of what may be waiting for you...
HAHA, lack of sleep from a Freaky-Friday-Farm-Fest will do that to me I suppose...
If you are thinking, "Affy, you whiny bitzch, what are you crying for?" You have a massive player, and massive EPIC stats, stop being a baby and go play the game. Well, even being massive has its 'bugs' and quandaries this Era. If I try to farm anyone for any amount, like say, 5-50 million NAQ, I take 200-300 million NAQ in damages. If I try to Scan anyone, I take 200 million to 2-3 Billion NAQ in damage. If I am attacked by even a weaker account, I take 20-75 Billion NAQ in damage even from a successful defense. If I dare attack a Top 5 player, I take 100-500 BILLION in damage. If I take a pizz, I take 50 billion NAQ damage... HAHA
My offsite bank only holds about 50-70 billion at this point, so anything I do I can't repair it. My only chance is to keep attacking, keep farming, and cross my fingers and pray for a "Super-Bonus" NAQ hit (like the ones that started this whole dilemma) meanwhile watching my Stats, my Worldship, and my playing account rapidly deteriorate in front of my eyes...
I call it the "Omnipotent-Impotent" Worldship quandary... EPIC, just epic!!
Maybe that is sorta what Admin had in mind for us?? Be cautioned, that this may be in store for YOU! If buggy, we will get a reset after repairing code, and all is back to jumpstreet... BUT, If intended, read carefully my words of woe above, as this JUST MIGHT BE YOU, after you get your successful "Super-Bonus" NAQ hit. Spend it quickly, spend it wisely, you would be surprised how GD long it takes to SPEND, Spend, spend a QUADrillion NAQ only 500-999 billion NAQ at a time... Your pulse races, you begin to sweat, your fingers start to cramp, one more click, click-clack, spend, spend, SPEND, GD-it, I am spending as FAST AS I CAN, WTH I can't SPEND IT ALL!!! AAGgghhhhh
Dooopie-dooooo, never fear, bebita just stole 750 trillion NAQ away from you, your worries are gone... HAHAHAHAHA
EPIC, just epic. Beware what you wish for my little cheeky-monkey Q-mates, you just might get it!! 'The Philosphy of Affy 2009'
