Victories in Gaming

 Sometime ago, all my friends kept going on and on about this game called Minecraft, a sandbox game where you can build practically anything from nothing. I decided to give it a try and have been a little hooked on it for a few months now; however, I only play the free version. When I'm feeling bored or have a need to build something silly, I go to a specific server and do so. Earlier today I went into a favorite server of mine and built a sphinx on top of an exposed underground cavern filled with water. It was rather impressive, though I am super bias. After finishing that, I decided to make a giant sign next to it that would read "THE PHARAOH'S POOL" except that every time I got even halfway through building it this guy would come and destroy the sign.

I get that it is a game and that people can troll whenever they want, but I try not to be a troll. That's rule number one for me in gaming. I simply rebuilt in response to the destruction. The troll returned and destroyed the sign along with part of the sphinx. Using what I learned in elementary school, I walked way. I trekked half of the desert map before returning, rebuilding once doing so. The troll returned before I even was halfway through repairing the damage. I got so pissed I tried finding an admin to get rid of him, but none were around. Again, I traversed the map to be rid of this troll. When I returned I found he was gone again, leaving my home in shambles.

Now I tend to follow the NO-TROLLING rule as closely as possible, but at this point I threw it out the window. I looked up a method on how to transport my character to where the troll was tore his rather intricate house apart. As I ran off into landscape while cheering, I realized that I broke my only rule and how I felt like a jerk afterward. Sometimes we have problems in our lives where we have to deal with annoyingly aggressive people, but we have to push through them.



Just Remember: Sometimes we lose our cool, but we have to reign it in and try to stick to our self-imposed rules.
