mud stuff

[juldea]

This possibly should be in three_kingdoms instead of my personal journal, but seeing as it deals with specific guild stuff and ME stuff I'll put it here. :)

For those that don't know, one way that the knights' guild honors people is by putting a statue of them at the entrance to the guild. Only one person can be on the statue at a time. It shows up as "An Honorary Statue of Player" in the room, and has a personalized plaque written by a player admin that details how cool and nifty that player is and what they've done.

I've been a knight for 5 years now, and I've never had a statue. It just didn't happen. I can't say why, I just didn't get noticed, or something... but I've been promoted to admin, so it doesn't make sense. Sometimes when I'm taking the mud too seriously it'll get to me.

And then, today, this conversation happens (Kirwan is the Guild Master, head player admin):

Kirwan tells you: want a job? if you're up to it, you could see about replacing the statue with someone new. dokken has been up there for a little over a month now.
You tell Kirwan: hrmm
You tell Kirwan: sure thing, I'll have it done within a day or two
From afar, Kirwan beams complete happy radiance at you.
Kirwan tells you: you're fantastic. thank you!
You tell Kirwan: no CMs, right?
Kirwan tells you: well, I think we've all probably been done before... or not?
You tell Kirwan: heh I haven't ;)
You tell Kirwan: dunno about others
Kirwan tells you: NO WAY!
You tell Kirwan: yes way
From afar, Kirwan boggles at you.
Kirwan tells you: ummmm, forget I asked you about this. I'll handle it. :)

YAY
Finally. Grin.
Heh. I'm so much of a dork that this makes me cry. I bet the actual statue, depending on what he puts for the plaque, will have me bawling like a baby.
Well hey, 5 years is a long time. I'm justified.
