I pretty much gave up at 5k, and then just bought 10k for 10 USD, which I could have sold for 20-40k at the time. :3
Where to start? 1.) Not bothering to pay attention to anything in the tutorial area and not knowing what I'm doing for like a week 2.) Spending a ton of money and building a cool, seaside house in the wild 3.) buying a ton of gold ingots and making gold tools that lasted like 30 minutes 4.) buying more stuff and building a floating farm (or "chinampa" as I call it) and a dock 5.) Not knowing that you could /sell and using voting as my primary form of profit 6.) building a moat outside my wild house to keep all dem griefers out 7.) buying a ton of TNT to assist in my moat building only for it not to work 8.) Taking a month to save up 1.5k to buy a plot from jwpwns
I went to Wallstreet and randomly clicked donation signs no knowing what they were until I realized I lost all my money.
Guys I have the worst one. I tried to buy a silk touch 2 diamond pickaxe for 10k and lost the money...no screenshots, or didn't remember his name. Silk touch 2. Ugh.
Nobody can beat this one. When I bought my first plot, I thought Resident meant ACTUAL resident so I typed in random crap hoping my nametag was shiny and green. I pmed a Mod saying that I bought a plot and I should become Resident now. She said, you have to pay 15k. I cried for like, 3 hours and ragequit. Also, when i got my first 1k I thought I was the coolest person ever, so I spammed my town saying I was the richest person on ECC. FAIL
The worst was when i got hired to clear some land. I tried to clear the dirt with my arms (no shovel) and the stone with stone pickaxes because i thought the iron/diamonds were expensive. Took an hour to get 1/10 of the 50 x 50 x 1-10 land .
My biggest fail was when i started, i was just wandering around the mining world confused because i didnt know there was a protected area around the portal. So i kept getting mad and punched a piece of dirt for about a half hour....... XD XD XD XD XD
Just saying MrNeedlemouse didn't scam you. Shishrr used client list to change his name to MrNeedlemouse and scamed you out of 4k and transfered it to his account: http://ecocitycraft.com/forum/threads/ban-appeal-for-my-friend.43260/#post-200380 even ask joel997 who is a mayor plus.
I went into a pvp arena with all my stuff and died in 5 minutes. I was confused about why all my stuff was gone and then I facepalmed after realizing how pvp worked.
I paid attention to chat, so I knew pretty much everything about the server after an hour. I'm having a hard time thinking of any fails... I paid 1k for a skele spawner that you could hear from the build's teleport, then thought "Oh, I'll remember the build's number" and then forgot it. Um... Oh yeah. I wasted like 5k enchanting books to sell. I always bought the cheapest xp, but still. Some of you may remember me yelling in chat about how idiotic I was being while I was still doing it.
Having over 30k and not buying resident What did i do? Buy 40k dirt :| For a mayors town; who eventually never got mayor
now, i remember a president pmed me about something and i called that person a dude to then find out she was a girl.
