I was Quietly Proud....
A Hard Week of PvP Battles and MapQuest expansions:whistle:
had brought me from a modest #25 to a soaring #1 in my Neighborhood,:laugh:
and Garnered me w/ Both Bronze Age and Iron Age Champion Status~
It was A Satisfying.... ....and incredibly Fleeting! ....Moment.:blink:
Some six-eight Hours after the PvP tourney Closed, apparently::unsure:
my Neighborhood has been Merged with another.:hmph:
I am Now back down to #7 in my neighborhood (which I can live, with and recover from...):evil:
and surrounded by "New Neighbors"....
:devil:_BUT_:devil:
My Planned and Hard-Won Week of basking in my Status as 'Current Champion' (Bronze and iron, Too!):up:
has been summarily stripped from me!:blink:
Instaed: I Stare at the misbegotten visage of a Newly (e)Merged Despot with nearly THREE TIMES my Points :razz:,
and someone who very Obviously has more-than-a-Few 'Diamonds on the Soles of His Shoes'~
{ I mean, Seriously! :razz:
I've been Playing only a Week in Dunarsund with -No- Purchased Diamonds (matter of Honor, son: Matter of Honor!),
...And I am now Facing a 'new' #1 armed with ... a Level Three (3!) Statue of Zeus ....and Six (!) Archer compounds...?:blink:
And Likely Will for the Duration of my Gameplay?!? :huh:....... Does That seem right...!?!:unsure::blink: )
< sigh >
I suppose it is somewhat petty,:huh:
but it certainly has removed More than Quite-a-Bit of the Satisfaction I had derived from this weeks gameplay.:unsure:
The Rewards being Numinous enough as it is::hmph:
I am disconcerted, and Frankly? Discouraged!!
.... that they have been rendered even More ethereal....
Not a Happy Camper, I.
(Please note:
the Excessive use of emoticons is Neither my Habit nor preferred communicative and stylistic choice,
but was chosen spontaneously as the at-hand emotional amplification tool of the moment
to more fully express my rueful dismay at the unfolding of these emergent events
as initiated by current game-play programming protocol decisions.
My Normal Mode of emotionally evocative protestation,
{ the Epic Verse in Iambic Pentameter and Free Verse, alternating }
I deemed too unwieldly in Composition to capture the purely kindergarten level (but nonetheless Visceral!!) Annoyance
this event has triggered in me, and Unlikely to be perused by Any, save the most hard-core of pen&paper RPG'ers.
Nonetheless: Be Glad that I chose Emoticon rather Than
the blazing pseudo-shakespaerean Stanzas of bilious annoyance I might have wrought
had it been a Month's gameplay invalidated
rather than a mere fleeting Week .
This Being a Raw emotional response, rather than an analytical examination
of protocol and proposed counter-protocol:
I recognize that this may not be the Correct forum for this particulair Misssive:
I Hope it will be allowed to Stand on the potentiality of meritorious discussion thus engendered.)
So, there It Is Then.
