Jaez - hehe -- this is me - I think you think "silky" was me but she is
not.
I admit I am totally twinked! In fact, I even made a social key. But it is
still great fun.
Here is the story:
Late one night, early 4th of July weekend, me and couple of my fiends are in
Rivervale begging for a bind. I see Silvera Tinkerbelle who I know from a
server email list and run over to say "hi I just wanted to meet you!" (She
is lev 48 or 49 and I am impressed!) She actually talks to me and I nearly
faint! Well, we do some duck dancing and other stoopid char tricks and
generally hang out.
Then she inspects my equipment and goes: "Greetings Sylly, looks like you
could use some armor?" I say: "Well yes, if you know anyone selling banded,
I do have some plats saved up." She says come to the bank and lemme look
what I might have... Then my trade screen come up and she drops in a couple
of pieces of stuff I don't even recognize. Then she fills the trade screen
and says 'take'
At that point - I say to her "ya know I am way too low level for this..."
And she says "I will understand if you say no..." But I think - hey this is
the chance of a life time! So I take!
Then she fills the trade screen a second time and I am frantically looking
to see if I got nuff slots and destroying all my food and beetle eyes. She
says take.
And that is how the Bronze bard was born (I even told her: "I will have to
call you Silvera Twinkerbelle from now on" and she goes LOL!)
Whether it's for penance for my sins or what - one of my 'things' is I will
make free patch work armor for young adventurers. If they bring me skins,
fine otherwise ill even buy em and make. I really enjoy helping the young
ones get a start. Patch is the best thing for new adventurers and I try to
help as many as I can. Casters - you need to go to Millers by Surefall
tunnel in Qeynos Hills and get them to make you stuff - casters can wear and
it has AC.
A long time ago, I saw a guy in all banded running back to the guards at T2.
I thot that was too ridiculous and posted a rant on some web site about
twinking. This was back when I thought you should stand toe to toe with the
monsters and fight for your honor! Well, now I am the one in all bronze
running for the zone yelping "trin tran train to the zone@!@
<mailto:zone@!@> "
More and more are bronze is coming out now and I have made some decent
levels so my days as a spectacle are nearly over <sigh> I am going to miss
all the attention!
/ooc you are NOT anonymous on the internet - you are who you are! What ever
you do is how people will know you. I have many friends in char and love
meeting new people. I thank you for seeing the real me - I am a bronze
twink no denying that but I also try to do other stuff and keep things for
everyone!

Be carefull Sylly
You were, and still Are, running around in full bronze plate
at way to low
a level, but since you are such a nice person, I dont mind.
That and Ive seen you many times and you havent gone from
9-30 in 3 weeks.
you seem to get enjoyment from the little things and I like
that....
