A story of how I got here on this server:
I was on Twitch.tv, watching someone play Minecraft when he started a Terraria giveaway, like a raffle (I think), where only one gets the game. I think I was supposed to have attended the stream when he announced the winners (I couldn’t) but I won anyways. I was ecstatic! I at once linked the Steam Key to my Steam account (even at school), and when I got home I booted the PC and got the game running. I didn’t even bother to read anything about it. So I made the character, made a world, and was literally stuck. I had no idea what to do, I (for some reason) didn’t even swing the axe at the trees, thinking they were scenery, and just stayed atop the roof of a tunnel (spawned there by luck) along with, was it John? I don’t remember too well. After a lot of time doing nothing, I got some research going, and made myself a new world, with a good idea of what I’m going to do. I played the world, I got to the point where I go deep into caves but still get OPed by falling boulders, and I was getting (literally) sick (ok, not exactly literally, more like figuratively) of playing singleplayer (I didn’t really find myself getting anywhere), so I went to the steam community to find servers. Took a little while (I hadn’t heard of terraria-servers.com), but I came across one of little popularity and importance, completely obsessed with bosses, and the little me didn’t really get far, but I did get a Terra Blade from there, so that made my singleplayer world much easier. Eventually I grew tired of that too, so I looked for another server (the first didn’t fancy me). After another while, I got the IP of another server (Dark-Gaming, just for you to know now, it was the end of August 2014, I think) which looked very orderly, but I didn’t do much more than register because I had already capped my internet plan (I was still an active Twitch viewer then). After the end of the month, I got back in. I had no idea where anything was, never heard of half of the commands I use regularly now, I just tried to solve the authentic puzzle that was the spawn and the Free Build area. I found the item chest room, found lots of weapons and tools I’d use in SP (until I grew tired of cheating my old worlds and I’d make a new char and world (by coincidence (I think), every one of my 3 worlds has Crimson and Snow environments)) and found the stuff with which you use Clentaminators. I couldn’t find the clentaminator, so I asked in the chat. The answer (“do /i clentaminator” ) came with a command I would forever use and never forget. I looked for free space in the free build, found some at the top of the world near some 2 guys who seemed to be entertained doing nothing except killing Wyverns. I made some sort of apartment up there, one of the guys was the first guest. I would invite random people who appeared, and they included Pun and Ultimate (as far as I remember). Time passed, I was bored looking at the chat when someone mentioned “Dark-Gaming.com”. I was at spawn, and there was a warp to a Crew-only gauntlet. I went to dark-gaming.com and made my Crew account, but hadn’t realised warps would warp you when you stand at a particular place, not when you read the sign above, thus the reason for my first thread (here). I do stuff, I complete the magic missile maze, I would apply for helper, I get my inv upgrade, the world would reset, and now I’m trying to keep myself connected to this server while my never-stopping interests try to push me along and academic and personal matters try to pull me away (i.e.: now).
I hope you enjoyed (possibly) my longest post (that isn’t complete jibberish (here)), and that Lilian appreciates this.
Thank you. Yet another easter egg

Some ASCII art I made based on what I learned in 2013. It would be wonderful if I could modify the line spacing and typeface of the text, but this will have to do. (Learn: TrueType typefaces are pretty tough enemies of ASCII artists, which is why you will usually see such art use Lucida Console, or the like)
