It’s A Wonderful FT Life
Preface: Somewhere in the digital realm the Pixel Watchers observing FT hone in on one George B player as his time of game crisis is upon him. The mists are dispelled and we mere mortals are allowed to listen in as the Head Watcher and an apprentice Watcher are discussing what should be done.
Our characters:
JW- Joseph the Head Watcher C-Clarence an apprentice watcher GB- George a player hurting
Scene One
JW- You know why you are here a player is about to do the worst possible thing.
C- Take ogre halflings to the dwarf warlord dungeon?
JW- No! Give up and quit FT!!
C- That was my second guess, I’ve always said…
JW- Now be quiet! And listen. He has been a good player and helped many others but today a setback happened and he is so upset he is ready to quit the game completely!
C-Oh dear, what to do?
JW- You must somehow make him see the good again and change his path or he will quit forever.
C- I will do my best sir! And if I succeed can I finally become a full watcher not an apprentice?
JW- Yes Clarence if you succeed you will be made a full watcher!
C- Ok! Here I go! (He prepares to arrive in FT disguised as one of many pixel players)
JW- Now Clarence……don’t you think you should know some of his past first so you can properly chat with him?
C- Oh sorry sir, yes tell me everything
JW- Here is what you need to know. Now look carefully (in order to instruct Clarence JW takes him to various times in the FT play of George B. We look in through the mists of time with them.)
Clarence learns a few things about George B’s past first viewing his early days of play where he formed some lasting friendships. Clarence notices a pattern develop where George shares freely with others his goods, instead of selling old gear giving it away to friends coming up. He sees George buy a house and really settle into the kind of player he would be, friendly and helpful. He sees George grow in skills and crafting and his willingness to help others with quests. He even saw George at times helping the outcast and outlaw believing in the power to change.
But now we come to today where a string of events push George to his breaking point. First of all he got trapped when someone brought a spawn of monsters and lost his two pets he had paid for with real money. Then reeling from that he found himself attacked in PVP and lost a piece of plus gear. So he went out and spent all his gold to replace the lost gear only to find the same day a new quest now he can’t do because he just spent everything! Over the last few days some old friends had quit for good and it was dragging him down. And another game bug affecting how he can play was really stressing him out. Feeling spent and alone he reaches out to a good game friend for support. Instead of support they get into a fight and his nerves being raw he said things he wished he hadn’t. George B had enough and wanted out! Into this sink or swim situation Clarence arrives to try and help George.
