Preface: QCDN, I have come here to talk about an incident that took place months ago. Nothing in this thread is false. It is all true. There are no screenshots. There are no vent conversations. There is only my word and I can only hope that I've made enough of a name for myself that will let you know this is all true. I've waited this long to tell everyone because it puts me in an awkward situation. It shows my one huge flaw that I've noticed of myself as of late. It shows that I am a hypocrite, and for the past month or two since the incident, I have been debating whether I should post this or not. I've come to realize I really don't care. We're all friends here, and we all criticize one another enough. I suppose I didn't want to seem like a fool and I honestly still don't.
It all starts in early November of 2006. My father had died a few days prior and I had to move from New York City to Vegas. I didn't play Final Fantasy XI at all. I had a friend who talked to me about her problems and I'd talk about my own. Her name is Mishaela.
Note: This is NOT about an internet relationship, I promise you it isn't
She was a very good friend, she'd help me get through things and we'd share stories about our miserable lives (I will not reveal any of these stories, in hopes of keeping this as far away from a personal attack as possible and I hope she does the same too). Well around the time of my big move I didn't feel like getting on much and there were things she wanted in the game. So I figured: "Hey, she's cool and all, I can trust her.". So in hopes of saving myself some time I gave her access to my account. I tell her "Take some money. If you are going to take something else, please run it by me first or let me know afterwards.". She tries it and it doesn't work. I tell her to keep trying and she still can't get on. Maybe she's typing it in wrong, whatever. I get on the account without a problem and give her some dough to help her out.
Fast forward to the end of April. I've gotten nearly all the best gear for all of my jobs, I just started playing World of Warcraft, and I can slowly see my FFXI playtime winding down. Maybe it's time to quit? Yeah, it's time to quit. I gather all my things from all my friends and prepare to divy up everything amongst them. So as I'm getting ready for my departure, Mishaela asks me if I could camp Roc with her. I tell her my character has nothing left on it. So she says she understands and that was that. The end of the month is coming soon. I log on the next day and get ready to say my final goodbyes. I click my character and log on. I go to the delivery box to send things and it finally strikes me: There's nothing left. Anything that was worth of value was completely gone. But how? After all those times I reamed people for being idiots about getting their shit stolen, IT HAPPENS TO ME! Damn. That's some fuckin poetic justice, huh? Keep reading, it gets better.
As soon as I find out, I tell a few friends. I'm hoping we can get this solved as soon as possible. We try to keep it all under wraps because it could just be a silly mistake. I go down the list of all possible outcomes. Several people have my account. All of them I consider my best friends or even like my own brothers.
Who has my account I ask myself. I cross out all possible names and I'm left with two. Cami and Mishaela. Cami is my best friend, one of the most awesome fucking dudes ever, it can't be him... can it? Well Mishaela couldn't even get on my account so she's out too. Who did it? Whoever got on, did this late night, 1 P.M. my time. Cami is asleep by then, and if he wanted to take things he'd tell me anyway. He always leaves messages letting me know he's using something. Mishaela is a late night player, and she has me on her buddy list on AIM, she could easily tell when I go to sleep. Then it dawns on me, Cami isn't even home. So it's Mishaela. Oh, Mishaela, you silly goose.
I tell no one she's done it. Before I even started to talk to her, I knew it was her. I send her an IM over AIM, we greet each other and I tell her what happened. It takes her nearly a minute to respond with just an "Oh...". she says that she can ask a few people to see if anyone knows anything, I say "OK". We keep talking and then tells me "I can give you pieces of my equipment to match the ones you lost. I feel really bad about what happened and I hope we can find out who took your stuff soon". I say "OK". this bitch has got nerve. As I'm waiting for her to give me her things she keeps telling me that these are her own things and that even though it's a big loss for her she wants me to have them. Was she fucking serious? She's trying to make me feel guilty about this. She gives me the following: Kirin's Osode, Dusk Gloves that are signed by someone I don't know, and a Maneater. All of this was taken from me, and much more. She went as far as to give me a different pair of dusk gloves JUST TO MAKE ME FEEL GUILTY. Get. Out.
I take all the shit she gives me without remorse. I don't feel bad at all. Not one bit. Your silly guilt trips do not harm me, bitch. I'M THE JUGGERNAUT! At this point I figure this is enough. I'm still missing about 15-20mil in items, but I doubt I'll ever get it back so whatever.
She sends me an IM. She assures me that all the items she gave me are hers. Then I tell myself it's time to seal the deal. I'm shutting her little fuckin game down right now. Then the following took place:
Mishaela: I just hope you find out who took your things... all of the items I gave you are mine...
Me: Yeah. It's just funny you know. Only two people have my account info. One is you, and the other person quit.
Mishaela: Are you sure it wasn't the person who quit?
Me: The person who quit... is me.
Game. Over.
She confesses to the whole thing. I get all of my things back. She tells me doesn't know why she would do such a thing, and that she's a piece of shit. Well, Mishaela, I do know why you did it. You're a selfish person. I helped you whenever I could, and I trusted you with things I wouldn't trust many others with. I gave you my loyalty and friendship. I'm glad I know how much it was worth. A few items in a stupid game. My friendship was a note of legal tender... For All Debts Public And Private.
I'm sorry everyone for not posting this sooner than I should have. You will not need the other side of the story. This is the only side there is: The Truth. Take it anyway you want. I wrote this because I won't let this happen to anyone else. Take it from me, your account will get hacked. Even from the very people you know and trust.
