Fcraft: My story
Posted: December 6th, 2011, 6:28 am
First, a little about me.
I was born in california, raised in new york. Now i am attending the
University for Advancing Technology in Tempe, Arizona. I am majoring
in game design.
I am a hardcore gamer, and i play competitively (go to tournaments ect.) in Halo, League of Legends, and World of Warcraft.
Since i got to school i have had less and less time to spend attending events and have since taken up a new pastime: Minecraft (Namely fcraft, which i discovered on my first day of minecraft ever)
--Now for the story--
The first day i was on fcraft, i built an 8 hour long build, which can be seen in builder63. (its a big red thing supposed to be a skyhook from Star Wars.) (this is also the first time i met nuclearwaffle, who i consider to be a great friend to this day)
I began to love the community and started to get involved, (annoying many people in the process.)
One day, i decided to check out some of the multitude of worlds that we had, and i came across pixelart by Astelyn, KingCrab72, and pavoneo. After bugging the heck out of Aste and Pav, i was able to get some insight into how to do pixelart.
I was greatly motivated by those three and hoped to one day be as good as them, a feat which i am nowhere near to accomplishing. I began to work on pixelart, and began to create some of my first work.
One day, I was promoted to vet by fragmer. Needless to say, i was overwhealmed and squandared my first few days, ignoring work, trolling hit_girl, and generally making a nusance of myself.
It all came to an apex when i went over the top and messed around too much, namely with Dreaminginsane, who demoted me.
After appealing and agreeing to change my ways, i was re promoted, and went back to building and started to help people.
However, i still trolled and eventually, n8 and kingcrab sat me down and gave me an ultimatum. Stop trolling or leave. Intuition told me that this was the general consensus of the greater majority of the community.
I began to slowly but surely wise up to the fact that i was not entiled to my rank, or, better, to being in the fcraft community at all. Realizing this set things into place for me.
I worked hard, helped people, and tried not to annoy some choice people. Eventually, i think that it all came to a point (i think) where people began to trust me a little bit more.
Fastforward a multitude of hours and i was promoted to op, where i am now and where i hope to be, helping others, for a long time to come.
----------------------------------
Afterthoughts:
Thank you to everyone in the community, namely the ones mentioned above, who helped me mature as a person and a member of this great community. (and to Helio_ and inter, who i bugged on countless occasions to move stuff for me, and fragmer who seems to be there whenever i need him)
This is my story, feel free to paste yours below.
