OK everyone, this is more to everyone but Crayola, but I want her to know its out here too.
I've been really pissed at her for a long time now and it seems as though its because of a misunderstanding on both our parts that we managed to get cleaned up after a few short menacing comments and then some more lengthy explanations.
A long time ago I was leveling my BLM through the dunes. As you all know, death is a not uncommon thing in the dunes and whenever anyone would die, Crayola would always be there to help out. She was raising us all for free (but I'd try to tip cause I know its appreciated and I really dont notice a small gil loss) and we'd keep seeing each other around talking and waving and having fun.
She'd let me in on important things that I didn't know. I've seen her running her price buster thing when some players were trying to take advantage of specials that were going on by overpricing items that could be bought cheap from NPC's. She was just always around to talk with and have fun with. The person you see ever two weeks that you can stay friends with forever.
Well I was running a casino on my main a long time back (now only done with a mule for blist reasons) and had accidentally traded 20k winnings from someone else to Crayola. I gave the person who won their winnings and expected my 'friend' Crayola to give me back that 20k. Instead she ran around telling everyone how she got it. Obtained more gil from another Casino doing the same thing and then gambled that gil up on yet another casino to way more than she got from us.
I was understandably pissed cause while 20k is 20k, its also the fact that she was a person I considered a friend and then seemingly mocking me for making a mistake instead of returning the item.
What I didn't know was that later that day she sent the gil back to me. See I do a lot of AH business and sending things back and forth from my mules and I dont even look at where the money comes from anymore. She also didn't tell me that she'd returned the money.
Since that day I've never once said anything or waved to Crayola again cause I'm a grudgeholder. I have that right...
Well today I walk out of MH and throw out a <Teleport-Holla> 500G <Can I have it?> and I get an invite from none other than Crayola.
My first thought was she's going to make fun of me about getting that money from me cause she's finally seen I called her a ***** on allakhazam. Well I was kinda right... I did receive some cusswords and I sent her back some cusswords too and I think we both got our point across of being upset with each other with this first exchange of words since the incident.
But after finding out she did return the gil, I feel really bad about remaining this upset with someone I once considered a friend yet overlooked her return of the property in question.
So if any of you saw my post about her being famous and while I do think she's quite famous, I think I need to retract the part about her being a ***** on there... cause she's actually a pretty nice person and if I'd actually thought back and remembered how I met her, raising people in my party repeatedly, wasting countless hours just standing there helping out players who needed it...
Maybe if I had thought about that I would have thought better of calling her a ***** and called her a pretty helpful player, and willing to go out of her way for those in need.
