Some Questions

Triskele is gone. The one sim may still be there but the realm as we know is has sunk into the sea. Or rather some of the sims have gone to Sylvhara and Arda. This will be obvious to anyone familiar with the maps of Triskele if they look to the east of Menegroth and the dark realm of Arda (i cant ever remember its name). I have been told that the landmarks for those sims still work by the way.

Its been almost 11 months for me in Triskele. It is harder this time. In Everwind there was not so much of me involved. This time there were quests and items i had built all over the place. I had a lot of time and effort in this. Of course it really is nobodies fault. I guess i was just depressed to see it essentially stripped, not by the owner but by the people who used to be there. And yes i know, i have taken my stuff too.

The search for a new home went well. We visited realms, met, narrowed the choices down and then visited again and chose Sylvhara. Some people did not hear what we were doing until the end and there were some hurt feelings i had to apologize for.

Sylvhara does seem the best choice as we have been told that we can move there and keep our groups essentially as is. The Queen has been most welcoming and accommodating to us all along.

I do worry though. Some have said we will just be absorbed by the existing groups there. Some of our people do not seem to really care but others do. I have also noticed some major discrepancies with the rules too. Many questions remain, hopefully to be answered in the next council meeting.

The main one is, will role play in the realm be controlled by the Alliance rules?

Another question; Will combat be allowed within Sylvhara that does not include intersim combat?

I do need to talk to the person who can clarify these things for me.

Or hopefully they will be cleared up in the meeting.

The end... maybe

Well i have no idea how things can get so totally screwed up. There was this life and death tug of war it seems over the realm and right now I have no idea who to believe.

The buyer backed out. That is certain. One story says she is a cooperate pirate, a headhunter and was only out to take the people.. the groups. Another story is that she truly believed our realm was about to die and generously offered her sims for free if the people would come to her sims and settle to pay tier. She would give every race a sim and have free room for the guilds.

There was a meeting where some bad things were said of the buyer and someone took a log and gave that log to her. Now she will have nothing to do with us... or role-play or even anything medieval.

Who is right.. who can i trust? There is no proof that one is right and the other wrong that i can see. I expressed doubts in that meeting that i hadn't before.. Things didnt seem right to me..there was other partners we had not met.. that seemed an obvious source of uncertainty. Why was she cutting back and so very concerned about the money when she had said how very rich she was in the beginning.. but we didn't want to mess up the sale by asking her. They seemed to be legitimate questions to me... *sighs* These are things she read and things others said that were much crueler. I am surprised i am still on her friends list. I expect to be taken off any time.

Now we are being asked to commit to the realm. We are being asked if we will stay there to make the new plan work.

How can i make that kind of decision when i don't know what to base it on? I gave my word that i would stay. But i have lost several friends tonight.. and i am totally heartsick. I was never going to get in this kind of situation again.. and yet here i am.

My mind says its time to go back and deal with things in the real world since this is even more painful than reality. I just really want to disassociate myself with all the hateful things going on. I don't want to be a part of it anymore but i gave my word.

What will the wise dragon do? I have no idea. But i know she would probably fly away from all the accusations flying back and forth. But really there is nowhere to fly to.

As much as i can remember i have been taking my prims back. I got the mer sim, and the dark realm tonight... the quest cave that i had dreamed of so much.. Its all on a water sim and thus is slated to be dropped. Then i started with the old clerics guild. All the quest objects i had made for the clerics quest and the building that Wren, Alphonsus and i had done to make the little infirmary. *sighs* Who could have seen it would end this way?

I am half tempted to just take everything of mine, all the stuff on the weyr too. Just to leave the place clean of me and go somewhere to make a new start. In any event i wont be seen by those people who hate me now. I don't want to be seen by anyone.
