Ok lets start at the begining:

1.For people who are tempted to steal things in a game that is when you should stop playing that game because what you are doing is causing your mind to confuse reality with a make belief world, where you have to be better than other people so that you can feel good and that you can pick on people the way they picked on you. Also when you are stealing from other people you arent stealing from them. You are stealing from yourself because by stealing from from others you are taking things that you didnt have in your time of experience in whatever you are doing. I have been stolen from about 4 times now and well im just saying that those people who steal things must have needed them more than me because they couldnt achieve them themselves. When you have to start stealing in a game to achieve what you want then that is when you should question your motives in the real world. Like for instance if you stole ingame then would you do the same if say someone had something you wanted then you would just steal it instead of working for it like that person who your stealing it from. You do it without realizing the side effects or consequences of your actions and in this case (Eamon) lost some of ihs friends because they believed that he wouldnt do such a thing as this and therefore lied to them, thus breaking their trust in him.


2.As for the matter of how Eamon is repaying for what he stole, he is doing the best thing possible because to reconcile himself he must give back plus more to achieve an ultimate forgiveness from himself. Also in fact of what he did he told the truth because his conscience was bothering him to due it. So even though he did steal the stuff he did say that he was sorry and told the truth about it, so i think that he deserves a second chance in life and he will have it if he can be true to himself first. As for the friends true friends will know that you were pressured into this because of the Society around you and the fast pace of the world. Dont feel bad though most people do tend to fit in or try to fit in by doing somewhat similar deeds.


3.Over the course of my gametime i have meet some interesting people. Now most of the people who play this game are from either the states or overseas. Now
why is that there is only a few Canadians left? im pretty sure when i speak for myself and Fallen that we dont see the sense in this type of actions. I mean whats in it for you in the long run, you people who are stealing stuff and such. Nothing because you couldnt have it your way so you just go and take it. Now ive shared accounts with a couple of people from the game and one person i shared with( wont mention any names) got some of her stuff stolen because of me. The reason she got some of it stolen was because i was at a friends house and his roommate when i left went into the account and stole the stuff. So in that course of actions she got hurt and so did i because i felt that i had lost a friend when we stopped sharing. Im the type of person who bonds quickly to people and ive got a couple of bonds on NM, this person being one of those bonds. People who call other people noobs only do it for one reason: to make themself look better. It a game for crying out loud it doesnt matter if your the best or if your the worst. What matters is that you have fun and that you create ties with people. I look at my friends whom ive known since ive been playing (basically since the game has been out) and im proud of where people are today. Im always there for people if they need help, and if i cant help them i get a friend of mine to help them etc. And its with these people that i trust and i know that they trust me because they know im not the type of person who does those things. I dont see the point in getting stressed over a game. I could very easily train my crits and get lots of items but im not in for that. Im in for the interaction part of the game i dont care if it took another 5 years to arch Fyara it doesnt matter 2 me. People who call me a noob are just funny because i think to myself " is this the way u think in real life because if it is then you must have a sad life."

4. Some people know what im about to say and others dont. I lost my mom over 7 years ago when i was 12. But did that stop me from attempting to achieve my goals in life. No it just made me work harder because i knoow that my mom is still watching me and my two older sisters. So when i play this game i dont try and race to be the first one to arch or to get insanely strong crits because i know that with time it will come to me, because good things come to those who wait. Currently im in College taking Police Foundations, and im putting myself through school because ive been living on my own for 3 years now. After College i plan to go to University to get my Doctor in Criminology, then to apply to Cesis ( which is kinda like the F.B.I),then break off with my own detective agency. Now your asking why am i talking about that. Because ive wanted to do that since grade 4 and im still doing it with or without support, becuase if you follow your dreams nothing can stop you.


5.I will still be Eamon friends because i believe that he justified himself by turning himself in, thus fixing his problem and has realized the truth that there is more than just this game in life.

I still consider myself one of the newer players, since the "old players" are those who can talk about pre-reset times. I know that I am nowhere near some of those players crit/item wise,

you can say that again

Is there any thread at all where you manage to stay on topic, or are you just missing the attention span it takes to keep your mind on track? Go find your neighbor's dog Rappy....

I don;t know you, I am really new in game but I respect you for owning up and trying to make things right.

I know you may not be able to see it now, but I am sure your friends will still trust you, because they are your friends.

I wish you luck in RT, something I hope to escape to one day....now if I could just get Lich to give me his pass.................:P

I think, instead of quitting, I am going to roll until I have enough level 1's to train an army of crits from lvl 1.

I dont know at this time whether or not I can quit Nightmist, maybe I will in time.

And, as stated, I gave all of my crits, except for one, to Donna and Ben.

Now, to whoever said it earlier, does it still seem like I was just trying to get my account unbanned?

lol Paul, It's a game like I said many times before. Your a friend therefore I forgive anything you do. As for my crits, I don't "own" any anymore so I was just trying to figure that out. Putting it in the forums was wrong and I should have asked you personally. If I actually did own crits I wouldn't think twice of letting you use any. Therefore if you quit a game you enjoy just because of this or my stupidity, I'm only a 2 hour drive away from kicking your azz :P

Paul? The old Integrity that helped me when I first started the game (On Eternal_Breeze?) I wish you the best of luck. Everyone makes mistakes. The fact that you owned up to them says more than you know.

This game isn't really about who is the strongest, who has the most gold. Not if you really think about it.

Whatever you do best of luck to you. always..

Don't worry Eamon, no matter what happens. Thieves don't get banned, remember? It's Nightmists unwritten rule.. You should have deleted everything, teach the stupid a lesson and still show you're sorry/not selfish.

[QUOTE]Personally I think it is all about how much effort you put into training, and that you never forget it's just a game. Of course I get mad too when one of my crits gets killed, but in the end I laugh about it and actually became friends with a load of the people who used to make my noob days hell.

Everyone can advance in this game, if approached right, even the newer players.

I agree with Lady_Maha, It is what you make of it and what you put into it!

What you did was not right. You betrayed people who trusted you. You say it was to advance b/c of the pkr's However, I am sure your friends would of helped you if only you would have ask'd them. They seem very willing to forgive you now.

As for the pkr's at the top, most of them started out just like us and earned the skill to harras us. Try to laugh about it and think of it as a motivator. Because, One day if you train hard enough you may surpass even them.

It seems to sadden alot of people that you are leaving and that may be best for you. However, don't let anyone you don't know push you to that. Your friend has forgivin you. Starting from the bottom may just be what you need, If you found it easier and funnier as a noobie. Just remember the lesson learned. :P
