Oooh, I think I know who this one...


I happen to know who that one is.

I am getting married...or am I. He loves me, I love him, but so many many problems keep getting in the way. Who knows when this marriage will take place.
We married finally. Though the night of the wedding we were split apart due to a battle. I came back to find him sleepy and then he finally died on me. Now I am a leader in a position I never wanted and trying to find our way back to the old ways.


And I bet I know who that it. Had a character die long ago and knew someone who would fit that top part. Now another character of mine got lost on his way to Krif and might have started something with an organization that I use to have connections with.

I am deeply determined to make sure we pull through this, and will do whatever it takes to do so.

Success for now, only if I could get them to see what I am talking about. After the trial though, the council will decide the fate of us all.
I am watching after the city as it grows, we already have received business.

Finally a newspawn, soon we will have many chances. We provide food for the entire region.
I am proud my goal in our Trading Company for my town is coming closer to starts, if only we could get a crew.

The next election is soon, and if I can get elected once more, I can bring us to more greatness.
I am happy, but bored and tired now.

Saved another from Chaos, if only there were more of me, the Order would be strong. Time for another one to save though.
I am still the same.

I might take over this Inn, don't know.
I am still manager, but worried power might be slipping. Soon, I might have to escape.

There, I left. I took plenty too, and I am coming for you man, for revenge. You betrayed me, so you must pay. Not to mention I am sort of rich now.

I am back in my swamp, we are preparing lots of food to build the roads.

More food, I get it. If only we could get this sand.

I am mad at the leader of this town, he wants to kick me out. How absurd!

I left, and we are at another town, if only more will join.
I am collecting healing food for the Empire I rule.

They are all dying, why did those people betray me?
I am still constructing the museum.

Ran out of wood, if only I had unlimited. Don't they see this museum is needed?

I am dying, of hunger and wounds. Why won't they heal me?

I am going to start a business, if the leader will endorse me that is.
I am preparing to fight.

They killed her, Me want revenge.
I am walking, on and on.

Still walking, growing sleepy.
I am in love with the town I am in. Everything is great.

The animals, something is wrong. They are acting like meanies.
I am slowly reaching the lake, from there I can start my dream.

I made it across the lake, and now I am starting my group. Everything would be fine, but I have unexpected company.

My first one, hope I did it right...

I Am…

- Living in my home town, not really doing anything. I’ve never explored much and don’t have much purpose in life, but I’m still going strong, I just don’t know what for.

- Sailing around and trading with the one who saved my life. I owe him everything and he is everything to me, even if he doesn’t know it.

- a cook, but it’s a boring life with no one to talk to so I spend as much time outside as I can, even if no one notices that I’m out there…

- I had grand plans to travel but had an unexpected turn of events and am now living in a small town with my love. Our house is too small, but the kind town leader gives us anything we need.

- wandering, exploring, gathering things from random towns I visit. One gentleman was nice enough to give me a cart, which has made things much easier.

- I was a low-ranking member of the army, but I disbanded and am now living with my much loved family in a small village in the woods. It’s a quiet life, but happy and peaceful.

- still living in the city I was born in, but I have a house and I one day plan on making iron and steel, as soon as I get everything I need, which will take forever.

- not lost anymore! I wandered aimlessly through the desert for a long time, but I am now helping to rebuild a town. They made me sheriff, but I’m not sure exactly what I’m supposed to be doing…

- trapped. The man I was working for has disappeared and hasn’t been back for a week. I keep knocking and pushing notes under the door but no one responds…I hope someone comes soon…

- finally starting to build my boat! Now I just need iron and steel to complete it, but there seems to be no one around in any of these towns…and I left my cart somewhere by mistake.

- no longer following a crazy man since he left me behind but I am grateful for it. I have found my love and my home. Now all we need to do is fix the place up a bit…

- working. I have worked since I was born. Cotton and string and rope are all I know. They say that I can have almost anything I want when I’m done and they’ve given me a house, but I don’t think this job will ever be finished.

- finally done gathering wood, and found someone to give me a job so I can earn the rest of what I need. One day I will sail!

- in the mountains. I left my homeland and ended up here, gathering gold. Some day I will leave and continue my travels but for now, I’m content to stay here.

- blind. It’s not easy, but the townspeople are so very kind to me. It’s cold here in the mountains, but they’ve given me a house of my own and an easy job that I’m good at. But sometimes, I wish I could walk on grass instead of these cold, hard rocks.

Is that by any chance in the Moku area?

Anyway, I am...

... a man used to a simple and quiet life in the forest, who ended up with more responsibility than he wished for when the old leader passed away.

... immensely happy that the town my liege entrusted me to administrate is now developing from a near ghost town to a vivid place.

... sleeping.

... a little lost right now, but otherwise exploring the coast of a huge largely uninhibitated continent.

... locked in a room with some fellow townspeople after a successful surprise attack without much hope of getting out alive again.

... sailing along the opposite side of aforementioned continent, staying with some natives until I decide to get on with looking for someone who understands my language.

... exploring the inside of the same continent after I didn't feel save living alone in the coastal town I was born anymore. I'm also quite happy at the moment because I found a small treasure.

... sailing very slowly in my little boat to a place where I hope to find limestone. I'm rather angry with myself because I found out I was sailing in the wrong direction.

I'm unable to quote because of deaths and such.


I am in love and very happy. I look forward to long sails on our slow ship, at least until we get a little quicker.

I am frustrated, perhaps thinking too much. I guess I've always been the strange one.

I am slightly worried at the moment, but overall I am doing well. I'm glad he left. I wonder if this new building will bring in a lot of people...I hope it doesn't.

I am alright. I wish he'd just wake up and stop this dreadful drowsy stage. I'm beginning to think of simply stealing the damn ship.

I am distressed, why did she have to die? The day was getting closer...and now it never will come. Did I do something wrong? Could it all have been my fault? I still speak to her, but she'll never hear me again.

I am in my usual mood. I regret how I worded the invitation...she would be wonderful to have around...but too late now. I wish these people would let me get the job done and get out of this port.

I am getting anxious, she's never slept this long...if she doesn't wake up, I don't know what I'd do...at least she'll be getting her food, so unless...no, she said that'd never happen...maybe putting off the wedding a little...could I have hurt her?

I am content. I wish she was a little more active, I love her very much. But I think she's going to be alright and pass through her sleepiness.

I'm going to have to be happy with what I've got. She is simply amazing. I'm a little pissed I'm not going to get to sail with her, and that he is...but they're both my friends.

I am okay, just sitting in the sidelines like usual.

So many things have gone wrong since she died...I'm sure it was my stupid attitude that ruined it all...we could have all been happy and together, but no...I had to be so selfish...now I just wish I could get off this damned boat. Why are all these people so idiotic?

I wonder if she can tell. She's pretty different though, so who knows. Maybe we'll get lost together.

I am comfortable and I feel safe for once. I'm very happy we're together. I'm a little worried, she's slept a few days...but I worry about everything.

I am just doing nothing.

I am a little angry, not doing much. I don't like it here.

Here are a couple really old ones:

Now the roads are done he's working to finally make a car.

She's training staff to do things and is wondering if the newspawns deserve to be trusted.

Continues to hold his group together... and wants to know how he can do more.

Now some middle aged ones:


Continues to get more famous with every person he meets. Just ask him.

Travelling alone since he spawned, mapping the interior of a very undeveloped island. Finding it harder to continue with his new appetite for smoked meat.

Developing resources for the rare machinery he can build on this island.

Another resource run. Wonders if home will every be a friendly place with the current leaders.

And my babies:

Fallen in love with most beautiful angel in the forest.

Crewmember with a perfect captain that thinks they are less than perfect.

a patient knight. Her chance will come.

I am...

... very glad to have found a good friend, even if I don't like eir friends much.

... about to say goodbye to the first person I've ever loved, and I don't even realize I love em yet.

... starting at the bottom, but keeping my eyes open for opportunity. Someday I'll run this place, and I'll show them how it's done.

... frustrated none of them would believe me about their approaching doom, but there wasn't any point in staying to die with them, so I'm heading for safety alone.

I am...

- a new recruit on a pirate ship, not sure of the future but certain the town I spawned in was boooooring

- about to travel to get provisions and try to start an outpost in a deserted spot full of really nasty things (because I don't know any better, lol)

- depressed because everything I've tried I'm no better than efficient and don't have a clue what I'm actually good at

- laughing at the guy who cried about impending doom and ran into the mountains, although secretly afraid he was right even though nobody's ever heard of that event happening before

- bored nearly to death waiting for people to wake up inside a building in a town that's too dangerous for me to be outside in

- head of security in a place we're rebuilding and all the previous leaders we know of have been killed

- confused about everything but trying to do my best to understand what seems easy to everyone else

I am...

-Old. I've been uprooted from my former position and now I wander, looking for more trouble to get into, wondering if it might be time to lay down and call it quits. I don't feel tired, though.

-Young at heart. Even on this ship with a new friend, I still think of ya. Shame ya had ta go the way ya did, but I hope you're at least a little happier now, eh? Anyway, I figure I'll try my hand at gettin' rich for a bit.

-Very confused. All of a sudden I find myself in a place where people are used as property. I myself haven't been as of yet, but the people who have been seem not to mind. Perhaps it is my reservations that are strange?

-Upset! Why am I getting dragged into this? How can he not see what a villain we've gotten ourselves in with? Oh well... I promised to help him out, and I sure as hell can't go back.

-Trading, trading, trading. Someday I'll have enough to realize my dreams after all these years, but until then, I'll keep on this route.

-Helpin' out back home. It's quieter than I remember, but it's good to be back, anyways.

-Annoyed. I gave you what you wanted, can you please just leave? I've got work to do!

-Nervous. I have finally made the jump I always secretly dreamed about. I can only hope my fears are unfounded and that I can live up to expectations!

-Indifferent. It seems as though I have signed away part of myself in this oath, and things are not what they appeared on the surface. I have done things I will always regret, and may death hunt me as I deserve to be hunted.

-Bored outta my mind. These guys are losers. I gotta get back there and see if she's OK or if I can get back to any kinda free existence, y'know? This is just... lame.

-Serving my country. I will continue to do anything I must to protect my beloved land.

-Sittin' and eatin'... two things I do best. I'm lovin' it.

-Probably the greatest person ever. At this rate I'll be famous in no time, and he will too. We've got it all figured out!

-Searching... searching for my niche. I only hope I can find it soon before I miss my chance.

-Estoy esperando para salir en un gran viaje.


-Old, yes, but not dead. I've fallen in with a very exciting woman. I don't know what to call it, but at least she pays attention to me!

-Sailin' around, makin' deals and gettin' rich. Got two nice ladies aboard now. Naw, it's nothin' like that... they're just good company, is all. I'm glad ta have 'em.

-Getting used to it, I suppose. These people aren't so bad.

-Looking for a way out. A good one, and fast.

-Wondering if I can actually do what I set out to do with all this, or if I'll just keep trading 'til I keel over and die.

-Lonely as hell! I didn't realize it 'til just now! I been hidin' in the past for so long... I gotta come back outta the old shell, if ya get my drift.

-Disappointed. I had hoped the response would be quicker... no, not quicker... existent. We still languish.

-Feeling better. I love this land, even if I care not for those who tread it.

-Still not full. Who needs friends when ya got a stack 'a food?

-Crushed... I don't know anything at all. I'm just a silly, silly girl, and now I'm alone. I need to go somewhere else.

-Laying low... I need to get off of this island. Why will nobody talk to me?

-Estoy en un gran viaje con una amiga muy querida.

The previous record wrote:1. There are so many 'truths' so far I've been able to keep them straight, I know I can keep it up. Hopefully everyone involved is as loyal as I believe them to be. I have so far to fall.

2. I had my plan, the prep is nearly done, but now I don't know anymore. Do I continue to hope she'll notice I think of her as more than a friend? Or do I give him the chance he wants? I suppose having them both isn't an option, it would be nice though.

3. I know he's holding me back, but I can't bring myself to hold it against him. I can't even work up the will to leave him, even though I feel like the life is being sucked out of me.

4. I hate him! I hate him for what he did. He's made me hate myself. I've never felt so worthless before. I can't trust anyone anymore. I won't give them their chance to hurt me.

5. I'm afraid that when I tell him how I feel, he won't feel the same way- so I won't tell him. Why should I? I'm happy to just sit with him, I'm not interested in pushing my luck.


1. My deceptions have been found out, and I am better off for it. Only one loose end remains, and it is so minor I'm not concerned. I've started to develop a sense of myself, I've found I have many flaws, and I like them.

2. I can't tell her, and he blew his chance... but now there's someone else. Or rather, I'm seeing someone in a new light. I can't act on it- how weak am I, to feel I need someone to complete me?

3. Home, finally, and things haven't changed all that much. I still can't leave him. He woke up for a few days, I got my hopes up, hoping he would maintain the habit.

4. I've found someone that makes me smile- but even he doesn't make me happy. I haven't told him this. I'm distancing myself now, feigning sleep while I starve myself.

5. I'm so afraid, the sleeping, what if this is the end? How do I come back from this? We've spent so long in this room, it feels like a prison, and it's not, it's home.

6. I'm different than the others, they're very accepting, very supportive. I'm lucky to have them, I know it, I won't take them for granted. He has such a wonderful voice...

The animals, something is wrong. They are acting like meanies.
I am slowly reaching the lake, from there I can start my dream.

I made it across the lake, and now I am starting my group. Everything would be fine, but I have unexpected company.


Will it happen? One side accepts my plan, but will my friends accept it? This is my one chance, I have to take it.

My town is growing, and once we have a potato harvestor, we will have enough forever, as long as she doesn't leave.

Reelected, unanimously. That is always good. If only I could get the entire bay to see things the way me and my city do. I wish I could stop this, but neither side wants help to negioate.

The desert is large without many people. I lack a chance to preach in Donii's name, it is way too hot.

I decided I would travel around still, serve as a traveling blacksmith.

I have a crew, I have found land, I am starting two buisnesses, one to cover up a more secret one. If only I can find him.

I am restarting my town, with the help of 3 newspawns. Soon we will have success.

We need more to join our cause.

I need help, my people are all damanged except me. I will go to the King far a way.

The museum has failed, I don't know what to do.

It has started, hopefully it will make me very rich.

I must stop crime, I will kill criminals.

I want to find ways to help my town, I just wish I knew how.

We have a chance ot get everything we need. Hopefully this guy is trustworthy.
