    Well, being used to Towny at the time, I had thought I could only be apart of one town at a time. I paid for a plot In Officetown but moved to clockworks and gave up my perms to officetown.

    man, i just remembered, i was just starting and this president said "who wants 20k?" I was the first person to say "ME", so i got 20k, and i didnt realize that i could have gotten resident. so.... i wasted it on buying materials for my house, then i realized "crap... i could have gotten res........"

    Well, I was a builder and wanted to buy a plot in a town, and I had like 7k. So I went through a town portal into a town that had the price of different plots labelled with signs. I proceeded o walk up to the signs and right click them like trade signs. I figured it must not be working because I needed resident, so I never joined a town as a builder.

    This is a great thread lol. Very fun thinking back to that time. Lets see. I remember seeing a Fort 3 Diamond axe in auction and nobody was bidding on it. 5000 starting bid which was a good price then. Doing a lot of mining, and having saved up a lot of cash I decided to buy it. I bid the 5k. I thought something was kinda weird cause he said going once, twice three times and sold very very fast ... But the rules are, you bid you pay and I still wasn't THAT sketpical. I was seeing all the money I was gonna make from that pickaxe. So I send him 5k and he tosses me ... as Im sure many have you noticed, I failed to say pickaxe originally ... my new fort 3 diamond axe :/

    First thing buddy says to me was "You know thats useless right." I did and realized how dumb I had been. I scrolled up thinking he scammed me in the auction, nope. He clearly wrote Diamon Axe and I threw the word pick in there on my own. So I said something like, yes I do and you dont need to be such a d***** about it. Shouldn't have said that I realize but was very frustrated. Then he threatens to report me so I tell him to have go and have his fun, I need to farm money. I was not biting and continuing this useless convo lol. All day I looked for the report and it never popped up thankfully :p

    I totally believe that Jason1964 has done something brag worthy.

    I say this with sarcasm.
