I have returned after going on an epic quest to lands unknown. I went through the Puzzle Games and a RPG in which I had to battle ducks with hooves, horses with spider legs, spiders with a Mac as a head, and much, much more. The worst was Mister Pig. He talked... and told me things that have humbled me on this journey. Suddenly I found myself at my destination. I had come all this way to MT.Tyrants to meet the guru TSTar and seek his wisdom.
"Hello... Mr.TStar? Are you there?"
"Well my, my, what do we have here?"
"I have come to seek your great and wonderful everlasting wisdom, master."
"You must best me in 3 challenges to prove your worth. Are you ready?"
"I am always ready, master."
"FIRST! JUSTIN BEIBER IMPRESSIONS!"
"wait...wat...I....there must be some mistake!!"
"THERE IS NO MISTAKE! Now go to your dressing room and dress up for your part!"
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!"
...30 minutes later [after a lot of crying and wondering what the cheese puffs I got myself into...]
"Are you ready to be the man of teenage girl's dreams!!!!!!"
"...Let's just get this over with. -_-"
"ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!!!!"
"You know you love me, I know you care T!
Just shout whenever, and I'll be there"
"You are my love, you are my heart
And we will never ever ever be apart"
"Are we an item? Star, quit playing
We're just friends, what are you saying?"
"Say there's another and look right in my eyes
My first love broke my heart for the first time"
[together... eww]"And I was like...
Baby, baby, baby oooh
Like baby, baby, baby nooo
Like baby, baby, baby oooh
I thought you'd always be mine"
"Oh, for T I would have done whatever
And I just can't believe we ain't together"
"And I wanna play it cool, but I'm losin' you"
"I'll buy you anything, I'll buy you any ring
And I'm in pieces, baby fix me"
"And just shake me 'til you wake me from this bad dream
I'm going down, down, down, down
And I just can't believe my first love won't be around"
[together]"And I'm like"...
yeah, that's enough... man that was terrible... let's not relive that... please.
Long story short, I.... won.
"OK... please tell me the next challenge doesn't involve being someone who has a smile that could light up a whole town, has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen and get so much lighter in the light. Who's hair looks really good on him and it makes him look more his age and could actually let people see his eyes, eye brows, ears etc. Who looks very mature and like his age. Just so cute in so many ways that words can't explain, the most handsome guy I have ever seen and probably ever will see....
OH GAWD YOU INFECTED ME!!!!"
"Mwuahahahahahahaa... it is about time you came to realize the true glory that is JB! Now.. for the next challenge.. you shall-
"Please more Justin! Please- I MEAN PLEASE NO MORE! NO MORE JUSTIN! ANYTHING BUT BEIBER!!!"
-fine... We shall embark on one of the most challenging of challenges for any man to participate in, THE GREAT ELEMENTAL THUMB WAR!!!!"
"wat"
"Just get changed.. that look doesn't suit you."
5 minutes later... [I spent an extra 3 wondering what JB would do in this situation... ]
"One, two, three, star, I declare a thumb war!"
"four, five, six, eight, try to keep your stars straight!"
It doesn't even need to be said, but TStar sucks at thumb wrestling.. as one might assume, his whole thumb turned into little tiny stars. I won by default.
"You got away easy that time, but this time, there will be no holding back! Now we must go Dancing With The TStars!"
"...You have GOT to be kidding me!"
"I will update
https://twitter.com/TstarsParties on the current status of your dancing skills, so it better be good!"
"....I hate you."
"hate love relationships always work out well I heard... NOW LET'S DANCE!"
"Who are the Judges?"
"Me, Myself, and I."
"You sneaky TStar, you..."
....look just don't make me relive that.. my feet hurt as I type this and well.. TStar accidentally threw some Fire Bolts as we were dancing.... Tiddlywinks fell out of his pockets and some people got Basilisk Blood... didn't turn out too well. Somehow I won... but I think he was just embarrassed that he did that to all those poor elementals.
"So, what did you want?"
"Well... I messed up big time at EC.org"
"So, what do you need me for?"
"Advice."
"On singing?"
"No, look, I messed up ok? I was stressed and I overreacted and made a huge stupid mess out of something trivial"
[insert telling him details about my problems bla bla bla]
"Believe me, as a former staffer there are times you just have to pick your battles otherwise you end up fighting the same battles with the same people endlessly and nothing productive is ever accomplished. Often it's a matter of putting out the fires while letting the embers smolder themselves out naturally.
Just always remember 2 things
1) Most of the gamers out there are 20 something or younger. They are kids and can often act like them. Don't let it get to you
2) It's just a game. Have fun. When people troll or go crazy just laugh it off and don't take it personally. No game is worth getting mad at
Everyone gets a little too intense sometimes, even me. I think Higs is the only one I've never see get upset. That's why I've always respected her and admired her so much. She really sets an example I strive to match. "
"Thanks! Just, don't ever make me do that first challenge again... please. It was awful."
"You do realize I absolutely hate Bieber right?"
"wat"
"I just put you through that to see you make a fool of yourself! I even have it on camera!"
................
Ok, so, I'm staying. Thanks to TStar's magical wisdom of a thousand TStars I understand where I was wrong and where I can improve. I hope you guys can understand. Sorry for the mess I made. I learned a great lesson on my journey.
