Last night at 3:00am when I was up getting my kit and checking on Cissa's DRAGONZ EGGIE (nicknamed Eggie) I was thinking about what a brand new player told me when I was helping him/her. I brought a lot of stuff that would be useful to a brand new player who hasn't even made a cobble generator and I helped the player get started. While I was helping him/her expand, she (I am pretty sure the player was a girl) told me, "You are really good at your job. How long have you had it?" I was confused and told the player that I don't have the job and the player responded, "But you do. Isn't the job of a Skygod to welcome new players?" That made me think of when I was brand new.@Kem was the one that came to my island and brought me stuff. Then Saints_4 came and helped me build under my island and then Terrick helped me later when I was scammed 2 diamonds when trading for a mob spawner. So basically the player, pieflavoredpie9 (for some reason when I do /seen it tells me that the player has never joined), thought I do a good job welcoming people. Unfortunately I am not sure if I do well. I remember when I helped Maggie1777 and she told me that I was very nice and helpful but she never came back after that day which makes me very sad. This has happened with a lot of the players I have helped but there are some that do still play, but I doubt they remember me. I don't know if the players will ever come back, but somewhere out there on some abandoned island there are chests with a diamond (note I helped the players lock them so there is no way that the diamonds will ever be retrieved ) and I don't really care. I just hope that the players had a nice one day and will eventually come back. After all of this, I really do think that donors, especially Skygods who get 3 diamonds a day, should make an effort to help new players even if it is just something as small as replacing a lot sapling. Thank you for reading, Cissa ADD ON: I'm not sure if this player has a forums account, but I am going to add this so he does not read this and call me out. So the other day I was playing hellblock and a player asked to join my island on there. I politely said, "No, it is not my island, sorry." And the player then asked me if he could join my island on .net and I said no. He then continuously asked me for diamonds after I said that I was out and I could maybe give him 1 when I got my kit but that answer wasn't good enough so I was spammed about it. The player then decided to ask me who the owner of the island on hellblock was and I told him that he would not get to join because he spammed me asking for stuff. I was then told sarcastically, "Thanks a lot. You were a great help. I am never coming back here. Would you like my stuff?" And I replied asking why he was never coming back and that if he didn't need his stuff that I would love it. He replied, "I am not coming back because you were rude and too bad about the stuff. I jumped into the void with it." If I don't help on hellblock, it is not that I am being rude. I don't help because I cannot. I will do my best to answer any questions but please understand that I have nothing that I earned myself. Regarding island joining, on hellblock I only live on the island I do for business purposes and on net, I prefer to live alone, sorry. Also, if I do not give you items it is because I don't have any other stuff to give away and/or you were rude to me. Please understand that I try my best to help, but I am not always able to help. Sorry, Cissa By the way, I am typing on my phone and accidentally cut the entire thing trying to change the doing color so that is why I may have been repetitive. Addition (2.9.14): Recently ingame I saw some donors complaining about the number of non donors in the game specifically the amount of non donors participating in chat. This made me extremely sad and mad. I want everyone to know that there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a greenbean (I say "greenbean" with affection ). Truthfully, donors are not any better than greenbeans. We are all equal and I do not see why anyone would ever consider donors better that non donors.
Thanks Veggie I get up every few hours at night to check on Eggie xD Ah, looking at your text I see how the spoiler and hide thing works...remember my fail? part but it didn't
Diamonds are nothing to me, I give them away all the time. Same goes with spawners. Those who hold onto them to "save", when they're getting 3 a day, just no. I don't even play that often anymore, anyways. I gave away like 32 diamond blocks and nearly 3 stacks of spawners shortly before becoming inactive. Not in my interest to see people leave, but it happens. Just can't bear a new player being clueless/scammed.
Lol when I first joined skyblock I built my entire island. Nobody helped me Sometimes when I ask Mods questions they sometimes dun answer even not in AFK. But Cissa is also kind she gave me a God diamond pick when I asked Most skygods say "Never"
Some players need help with their islands, some not. As for me that when I started I didn't need any help. I constructed everything at my own. I really enjoyed cutting tons of trees, smelting lots of charcoal and smooth stone... Just because I've seen what I'm going to do. And when the time came to fill my Nether cave with lava I asked somebody to help. Kerahna was so kind to sponsor me couple stacks of redstone blocks. I really appreciate this. And of course all those gifts that people have given to me. I don't really get an idea of possessing lots of rares. What's the purpose for all these junk? Are they really help someone?
cissa bought a whole bunch of leaves off me when i first started and WAY over paid helping me get a trading foothold, well at least an early one. whenever im bored or see a new person askin for help i always pitch in were i can
that's really deep cissa, that brought me to tears, I never got any help when I started, just myself and a few friends. I was constantly being scammed and stolen from, with plenty of griefings each week. I was miserable and no donors or "skygods" (wasn't skygods back then) would help because they were too high to give me their time. I later got donor 25 about 6 months later, and I didn't want to be like the others so I made it my goal to help people. I started a event called sunday giveaway, where I gave away diamond picks, iron and grass. (I didn't have diamonds cuz I was a 25 and they were not as such large quantity) I started doing frequent dropparties and I made tons of friends (well... not donor friends...) about 8 months after I got 25, I got 50. I was so excited I could do so much more. I made tons of donor friends at that point (Rachel, Fox, Krissy, Cissa, and others I cant remember.) I loved it so much and I just started loving skyblock more than ever. about a week before Christmas I got donor 100. I started being able to do so much more since I could now get diamonds. I loved to help people get started and give them diamonds. on Christmas day I chose that I loved skyblock so much that I would get skygod. it is a lot of money. most people say its not worth it, but the thing is... I donate not beacause its really a good deal, but because skyblock is really the only place in this world where I can truly be myself and still be accepted. in real life I am bullied for liking video games and not being an athlete, I think my mom hates me, and I am losing friends left and right. skygod made me gain popularity and it made it so much easier to help people, because now I could spawn animals and get 3 diamonds per kit. tons of people said I was wonderful and said they thought would be a good mod. I signed up on the forums. sadly still no response yet but I feel like its my next step in truly helping people on this server, to be the best person I can be. im sorry if I am wasting you time telling you my skyblock life story... ive played on this server for over 2 years and I have kept it secret for so long and I wanted to share. I love helping people and skygod made it so much easier. I hope people don't think of us as jerks, we donated so much not because we are stupid, but because we love this server with all of our heart. thank you for your time... ~Choco
UNlike Iridiam, nobody gave anything or helped my skyblock. But Cissa gave me advice for my small island told me to expand it by building below island. All other donors that tped to my island just told me :SSMH ur island is small, rate is 4/10. ;(
wow after that deep message as im crying at home your talking about a pick? dude I would have given you one ive just been really busy.
ChocoSpider74, I don't mind reading your skyblock life story (not going to quote post because it is long) and I am sorry I made you cry I guess? Lol, YOUNGY made me cry the other day when he sold me Eggie. I try my best to help people because it meant so much to me when I was new and some Skygods came to help me. Terrick was especially amazing to replace my spawner after I had been scammed. It made me so sad since I saved up for that thing by selling full single chests of animal products from /warp animal, wood planks, cobble, and snow for only 1 grass block each. That was especially painful and I remember not knowing how much one was worth and donors would tell me that it was worth 1 grass block and I would sell it for that. SSMH, I am glad you enjoyed your diamond pick and advice on your island. If you need help building a lower level, I can do it easily since I have fly.
im not a skygod but only a $25 donor but there was a non donor(forgot the name sadly) and they were in the chat asking if anyone could give them a diamond pick and that they would give it back once they were done. I had seen them asking and no one had replied to them so i /msged them i can give you one. I tped to them and i gave them a diamond pick. They had said thank you so much and i said your welcome and you dont have to return it. (there island was still new) i had then said have the pick as a welcoming gift, and i then left. That day i had felt so happy juat for doing that nice thing that i wish everyone would do every now and then.
Yeah that's good but there are also some other people who never want to give anything even if it's a single piece of food. So I'm happy that there are skygods like you out there and there are donors out there who don't mind givig away something.
I try very hard to get everyone what they want, unfortunately I can't always do that but I try. ^ Yeah, if I am spammed really badly after I have already replied I usually /ignore for 5 mins or so. I never leave people ignored though because I will forget and never know them later on.
