The 4,738 PED HoF.....Six Months later.

Now for those of you who are new to the game, you may be wondering what a HoF is.. It's short for "Hall of Fame" and each day the board always changes for those who are out hunting, mining or crafting. But today marks a very special day for me. As it's been exactly six months since I and a player who had been in the game only 8 days got a very special surprise for the both of us.

The Story

Now I'm a nice guy in game.. Perhaps one of the nicest guys around, and it was one day while I was hanging with my soc at the time (The Dark Angels) that I got a PM from this newcomber (or Noob) who was trying to get to Atlas Haven, Perhaps the crossroads of the Entropia Universe.

How could I refuse? I asked the newcomer how far he had gotten and he told me Fort Fury.. I definitely suited up in my Shogun armor and grabbed some ammo, and was off on my jaunt to Fort Fury (Via TP). Once there I found the newcomer standing by the TP and after the formalities, we decided to head off into the wilderness to hunt down TP's so he would have them on his list.

Now my first mistake was leading this guy around because I was 'legally blind' in Real life.. but the newcomer avidly followed me and we picked up TP's Fort Medusa, Atlas South, Tethys Creek and Finally Atlas Haven and Atlas Haven North Sure he died at least three times, but every time I was there tending to his wounds and cheering him up.

So finally we get to Atlas Island North, the End of the TP Run, and for being such a nice guy, I said, "Look, I've got Extra PED to Burn I'll buy you an Opalo (The starter laser rifle for all new comers) and 350 rounds of ammo. He graciously accepted my offer.

So we start hunting the north side of the island chocked full of snablesnots, and exaosaurs, and the loots weren't dropping that good..

So I turned to the newcomer and said, "I know of this spot where the hunting isn't half bad, and it's on the south side of Atlas Haven at first he was skeptical but I assured him that we could take on anything MA/FPC threw at us. So we headed to the south side of the island.

We got to my "Favorite" hunting spot and after about 2 good loots, I spied the granddaddy of all Daikibas, a Provider class Daikiba" I turned to the Newcomber and said, "Want to take this guy?" He agreed and off we went after that beast.

Now I was toting an Isis CB5, and the noob had his trusty Opalo but was low on Ammo. I had an extra 500 medium weapon cells and gave it to him..

Then we attacked.

It was a tough fight, but as we killed the mob, all of a sudden the "Swirlies" went up and I was proud of myself.. For this had been what I thought was my 7th Team Global for that month..

But it wasn't until a few seconds had passed and my Soc Leader, Omega Dan Prime asked me a question.

"Ben," he said, "Are you the "TP Run to Atlas?" I sheepishly replied, "Yeah it was us, we just globalled on a Daikiba Provider.."

"No Ben," Dan shot back, "you didn't global, you 'HoFfed'

"What?" was my reply "A Hof?"

"Scroll up" Dan calmly said.

I scrolled up and was surprised to see that "Team TP Run to Atlas had Killed a creature (Daikiba Provider) with a value of 4,738 PED.

My first response was.. "WTF? we HoFfed for THAT MUCH?"

So I sheepishly turned to the newcomer and said, "Son, You best be setting down for this,"

"I'm sitting down," was his reply.

I then said, "We Just Hoffed"..

His reply: "What's a HoF?"

My Reply: "Do you want to Sweat?"

His reply: I 'sweat' for my money,

My Reply: "Son, You won't have to Sweat Anymore.. at least not for a while."

I then explained to him that Half of the Loot went to him.. and when I told him that it was for 2,369 PED (which is half of the loot), his reaction was that of utter shock.

"That's Mine?

"Uh-huh, We both made out like bandies didn't we son?'

Conclusion

Well Now it's six months later, and I still look back at that Hof.. I even got a screenshot of the HOF Board.. and there it was.. #1 for the day.

Now as I look back on this event six months ago, I think to myself, "How in the hell did this happen?"

but what did I do with my earning?

I reinvested it into armor plates for my shogun armor.. A set of 5B's and 6A's and since then I've never looked back

But the thing is that I still talk to the Newcomer.. Since our HoF we've become good friends, and even though he's in a different society than mine, (Which is Temporal Destinies), We still go out hunting from time to time.

My only other thought is this..

Thanks MA/FPC, for making my gaming a little more fun.

And that my friends is the rest of the story...
