Today.. Sunday, 21th of June 2009.. I have lived the best day, of my entire life.
Why? Well.. Alot of basic stuff has happened but, basically every single feeling you could feel, I have felt within one day.
I have felt sadness, comfort, joy, love, enjoyment, hunger, thirst, happiness, sorrow and horror, been scared to death, and pretty much every kind of feeling you could have. It's very hard to explain, but basically this is one of those days when - you do everything perfectly and feel good about it. It's been such an emotional day.
Want me to explain more? Yeah sure, that's why I started writing this.
Well, the day or actually last night started pretty normal way for a nolifer.. I tried to sleep but couldn't get any, too much things going through my mind so I decided to just stay awake after rolling in bed for couple hours..
2am -> Evony
Well, I went to play a game that I have been playing for few weeks now (Evony, an online strategy game..), and well.. The moment I logged, I noticed that someone had JUST starter attacking one of my "valleys" there and I instantly I abandoned the valley, since he would be there first and abandoning it would spawn some NPC's there (Non player characters) and then sent some attacking troops to same valley.. Well it seemed that he noticed that I was online aswell, and pulled his troops away. (Notice that this guy, is slightly "higher" ranked player than me.. But I'm 100% sure that I have stronger army than him.. He has just played bit longer)..
Well, I left the valley there and ordered my troops to return home.. And ofcourse he sent some super fast troops there since my troops takes 5min to return the base before I can send them again.. And he captured the valley where wasn't any defense very easily with very weak troops. Well naturally I got very pissed about this.. And ignored the fact that he was from LOT bigger and higher ranked alliance than my own alliance, and attacking such guys might danger whole alliance and get us into war against them.
Anyways.. I gathered nearly all my troops at that time, and attacked directly to his city. First wave I sent 8000 (Basic Warriors, only workers are weaker) of second weakest troops as "minesweepers" to take out his traps and few other defenses that don't regenerate much if they are used. Basically to secure my next wave.
Well, after that I sent 17000 of third strongest attacking units (Archers), since they are ranged and can start attacking almost immediatelly.. It makes them alot stronger than melee troops, but they are also weak to attack. And as comparison, that guy himself had 11k archers in his base and 500 archer towers that is stationary defense system, but about same thing as basic archers exept that they can attack further and thus earlier during the fight. And I also sent 500 of the second strongest attacking units (ballistas), since I can't yet make the strongest units myself (Catapults).
During the first sacrifice wave I lost ~10k honor and at that point we both had about 79k honor total and well, because of that attack.. I saw an report of his troops, and saw that he had actually quite strong defense. 11k archers, 0 ballistas, 10k warriors, 500 archer towers and ALOT of other small melee troops waiting for me..
Anyways, with my Archers and ballistas I had also 1 of each other type of troops with (since the game attacks 1 type of attackers per turn with one type of troops) so basically since my archers are at the "backlines" it would perhaps buy couple turns of "safe attack" time before they get attacked.. It's not guaranteed tho but it's a very effective tactic to save some ranged troops and sacrifice few melees..
Well, it was very exiting to watch those numbers getting smaller and the moment of the attack getting closer: 3 minutes, 2 minutes, 1 minute, 30 seconds, 20, 10, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and....... BOOM, over 100k honor jumped to my "honor" count, and I already knew what it meant..
I had won. I lost about 7k archers total out of 17k and out of those 7k, 2k returned as "injured" and I could heal them with money lol.. So basically I lost few of sacrifice melee troops and total of 5k archers but.. The other guy? He got TOTALLY wiped, not a single troops or defence system was left. And god damn did I feel awesome at that moment? Was worth of not going to sleep xD
Anyways, after that I sent "transporters" out of all my 3 nearby towns to there, and plundered all his resources, and killed few of the "panic" defenses that he still tried to build up in the short time that he was given. And basically just wasted MY resources xD.. Oh well, that didn't still make me satisfied.. So I also took every single of his valleys that I could see anywhere near on the map.. With the very same "weak" troops (scouts, used for finding out what kind of troops and buildings others have) that he had used to take my valley earlier.. Well, I had to play around with them little since I already had maximum ammount of valleys that you can have in 2 of my towns and the other city didn't have any real troops in it so took quite a while before I were done with the humiliation. But it was all worth it. ^^
The night couldn't have started better, after that I just focused on building my towns bit more before logging out around ~8am..
8am -> Hattrick
Well, nothing much to tell about here but.. Hattrick is an "online soccer manager" game, that uses real life times for the matches etc.. So basically there's 1-2 games per week..
Well, I had been on a break from Hattrick from over 3 years already and just few weeks ago decided to start it again, and this time focus more on it than I had before.. To actually try to become good player there, unlike before when it was just randomly killing some time, instead of actually "playing" it..
Well.. I checked the match that I had yesterday around 9pm or so.. I had actually forgotten that the game was yesterday before it just popped in my mind after logging out of Evony xP..
And what did I find? Well.. Yeah, you might've guessed it but I had FINALLY after 6 matches.. Won my FIRST match while managering that team.. ^^ Lot result better than the couple evens and couple lost games before it.. Well it was still only 0-2 win, but it went exactly as planned an my team had hold the ball 61% of the time, so it was obviously a good match. It wasn't really anything that special but it made me even better than before.. ^^
Oh well after that I spent couple hours while checking my tactics etc for the next game.. (Since you never know who gets injured, who does well etc etc.. before the games are actually played).. And the clock was about ~10am when I were done.
10am -> Getting sleepy
Oh well.. I didn't get any sleep yet at that night so yeah, naturally I was getting tired already.. Even if I am a nolifer, and used to play "allnighters".. I think I'm getting old or something, since I just can't do it anymore like I used to.. Or perhaps I'm just in bad shape lol, because of too much slacking and not enough exercise.. But anyways, around then I started to talk with friend in MSN who had just woken up, she's a sister of a girl that I have started liking alot recently.. Now you might think, are you in love? Nah, it's not like that.. Not yet atleast.. Sure I like her alot, but experience has teached me to take things slowly but steadily.. Especially when it's about "loving" someone. Yeah guys, take a note here: TAKE IT EASY, don't rush with love or you'll just end up ruining it.
Well, I talked with the sister of hers for about hour before she said that her sister had woken up now.. So naturally I went to say good morning and so on.. And what's amazing, for some reason I could "small talk" like never before.. For some reason I was on fire today when it came to doing things. I just did everything so perfectly, unlike usually.. But already at that point I realized that this was going to be one of the best days ever, in my life..
Anyways, I was getting dead tired and well.. We were just chatting on MSN having webcams on etc.. Like we usually do.. Nothing really special, but it's always great to see the person you are talking to.. That way the things you say and do, sounds "less empty".. Atleast in my mind, but I just feel more comfortable that way..
Well, at that point I was so tired that I said to her, that I'd go to try and sleep few hours now, and I could leave the webcam on if she wanted.. And well, she didn't say no need, atleast xD So I went to sleep..
It was about 12am then.. And right now the clock is 10:30pm, and she came back from watching a document so I'll go tell her what just happened just like half hour ago.. Don't worry guys, I'll tell you about it later too. After all, it's part of the major things that happened today ^.^ ...
