SADDNESS
Mourning the lost of one of my twins

Just now in the heat of battle against Blue Vlads, up pops a notice and "Fat Fingeritis Strikes Again" as I see a one of the twins go down.

I WANNA CRY
SAD DAY
... I AM IN MOURNING! ...

[LostKnight]

Thank you for the kind words Cashew. Although I know you more as Pistachio and call you nutz or nuts.

Very much appreciate what you said.

Update

I have yet another unknown benefactor in hiding. The person I though it might be said it wasn't him, and I believe him fully. Another user explained how they did things years ago, that would explain one way of how it happened. So .....

This morning I accidentally killed off a pet, me and my Fat Fingeritis! While fighting Blue Vlads I clicked on one to attack that specific one ... up pops a notice "Remove this Pet" and hurrying to get back to the battle, I click on what I though was "no" only to see the notice disappear and one of the twins drop to the ground!

Finished getting the level with one twin and then put him in the house, bought a spider, got the twin out again and went back.

OH MY! What a difference, while the single twin stands in place, the spider is all over the place running around like crazy. I'm thinking go ahead dies, I am NOT clicking on enemies again, I'll kill what is close, and I was close to the twin! That spider was above me, below me to the right to the left ... would NOT stop moving around.

Then I get a /msg from JV, want's to know if I want to go for more bone keys. OH PLEASE AND THANK YOU! I needed a distraction, so I said "As soon as I put my pets in the house, pets not twins, and change my stats to have DEX 246. At this point I didn't care if I was 23 ex point from levelling I need to do something different.

Some time during the day I open my backpack and there a "pet" - HUH! WHAT! While getting bone keys the was a bit of an emergency here and I had to run to a pharmacy. Told JV I had to log, fully aware I would die in there alone when I came back online but hey, MIL comes first and my wife a bit 'wall to wall'. So logged out and went.

When I got back I log in and managed to get half a dozen swipes with my blade before dieing. Well, it is a quick way back to Map 0,0

Ran hope got the pets out "freed" the spider, put twin back in the house. He didn't want to go, said it was lonely! Told him not to worry, I had a surprise for him. Begrudgingly he went to his room. POP and I resurrected his brother and called him out. It was like old home week, they were running around, climbing trees, playing leapfrog over rocks and wanted to go swimming in the river nearby. Later boys later , first lets get some rest I have thing to do. I'm sure they are making a mess in the house but it's OK, today is their day.

Connected up with another friend and gave him materials to craft a Diamond Sword for me, I'm lower than lvl 175, but not for long, and can't do it.

Now it's time to give the Wednesday Hint (late I'm sorry) to the find my house contest and then get the Twins and let them do what they do best, fight the bad guys.

To my guardian-benefactor I am eternally grateful.

Time to get it on ... well, after the hint.

I'm so glad I got the opportunity to meet such an interesting player. ♡
You may be a baby in FT as you express it haha, but all of us have been a baby once in a while.
The feeling of giving and taking never gets too old. Certainly, it may sound selfish, but if you do it properly, it may be something amazing (It's so wonderful to see others grow in the game).
I hope you have a great many years here at Forgotten Tales LostKnight.
Do not be shy to ask when you feel you need help. I'm so happy to help you when time is right and my president at home allows it

@ Jessie Valdez

Thank you for the kind words JV, you're an interesting as player well. Yea, still a baby here, but I've progressed to the HUGGIES Pull-Ups I think. Of course others may have different opinions but at least I don't wet the bed anymore.

What I find is sometimes new user are afraid of me, like I said before, maybe it's the Blue Spandex Ninja Suit. However there is a neat story about that. There is another knight wearing the same blue suit. He came up to me one day, he's on my friends list, abourt a week ago and asked me what I thought. Said if I didn't like it he's change it. What's not to like, I thought it was great.

BTW, giving never get's old. At least not for me. I've been giving away $5 all my life, there's a story behind that for another time. And like you I certainly hope to be around for many years as well.

[Cashew]

Hehe sounds like you've got a couple stalkers!

Although in this case I'm sure a little creeping here and there ain't too bad

I'm glad you actually have them both again, those mob swarms can get awful messy without a little backup meow <3

[LostKnight]

@ Cashew

I'm not big fan of pets, they get in the way at times, but when mining they are a boon. But at times I want to GRRRR - when they won't let me cross a map line.

700,000 enemies hot on my tail, OK OK, 250,000 enem... GEEZE would you believe 9 enemies and a kitten? And they won't let me cross that map line to safety.

But you are right, sometime a good backup team does wonders!

My friend, who choose the same Blue Ninja Spandex suit I have, read this thread and realized we joined the game at about the same time. Must help him level up a bit. So if you see a knight, that looks like me, but isn't me, at least say Hi!

[Cashew]

I think you means meow <3

And yesh, they're annoying to learn how to control, and it could be improved but alas whilst I has the ideas I don't have the programming knowledge :p

Instead I spent a day playing/practicing around with em, just like my slank walk, til I seent what they do when I did certain things.

"What will happen if.. oh.. you'll die. Meow :c"

"I wonder if you can... nope you'll die. Meow :c"

"I promise I'll be really quick just don- aww.. you died. Meow :c"

"Oh noes I ish surrounded halp my pets are gonn- nvm.. they died. Meow ;_;"


Pretty much how I learn most things

Just make sure to do it in a safe area if'n you decide to play around meow

OK, in your case meow <3 or purrr if you wish.

I agree but there is a thing here, I MUST be very careful, no more mistakes like the last time.
These twins are very special. They were a gift, and I must look after them and nurture them and let them out to kill the bad guys under controlled circumstances.

I want to keep then as long as possible.
They love to go mining too! And they don't like the Blue Vlads, they kill them on sight.

ZAP_ZAP_ZAP! NEXT!

[Cashew]

Yesh, that's why all experimentation should be done in a safe, controlled environment.

But I always recommend people play around and figure out the behavior of em, helps when having to defend against those that would wish our companions dead, or if an accidental over spawn poses an overwhelming threat.


Personally I was never told any of this when I started, that's why I learned the hard way. I also know they were a gift, I'd hate for misfortune to fall upon you again meow <3
