It was 8 years ago, I was in high school and when I would ditch class or had an off hour I would go into the library to play games like "Line Rider" or That game where you shoot the turtle out of a cannon? Cant remember the name. But one day there was this group of kids that I wasnt very fond of, they were laughing having a great time. So I glanced to see what they were doing. They thought they were all hardcore on world 4-5 and began to tell me they were some thing important on that world and how awesome it was.
So naturally me not liking them, I thought it was a stupid game and told them that (Oh how ignorant of me) Over the next few days same thing, then finally they told me to give it a shot. So I joined a world and all the years of me making fun of them, now it was their turn and they let me have it. I WAS AWFUL!! I lasted a week, maybe 2 on my first world. They never stopped making fun of me for how terrible I was at the game.
So I decided it was time to take it into overdrive, I joined every world out at the time and was determined to get good at it so I could beat them. Finally by world 24, I was a decent skill level, they also played that world and were not far from me. This was at least a year down the road from when i first started. I knew they were playing on the world and I was set to destroy them, I started a tribe, that tribe grew and I had them all nobled within 1 month of the world startup. It was at this moment, I knew I was hooked and had to get back to reality. So I quit and didnt play again until world 69, and then here I am again on this world just having fun with people I met from other worlds.
