**Update: I realize now that mailtimes can come across as rather greedy, and I luckily no longer have interest in doing them ^-^ ALSO, now I realize that the horse plushie might have been meant to help me along, since the person didn't know me very well.
So, read this with an open mind! Thanks (: **
I made the greatest careless mistake that one can make.
I was incredibly foolish.
I teleported to a buddy, in a den full of incredibly "rare" people, beards and rare items equipped. Overwhelmed, I attempted a few trades, but to no avail. These people were on a whole different level of "rareness." A bit intimidated, I clicked on Mt. Shiveer.
A penguin wearing a fox hat danced on a clump of frost, saying," GIFTING AND TRADING IN MY DEN. NO SCAMMING, PLEASE. ^-^"
I was intrigued, so I entered the person's den to find more rare people shouting out random items that they wanted, each attempting to scam each other. A random person kept persistently sending me Jam-O-Grams inquiring "WHAT FOR BOW."
The JAGs sparked a memory- my good friend, FluffiestSlug, was having a mailtime for her blog. I decided that we could have a mailtime together, and I exclaimed," Please send random items for a mail..." ".... time that I am having! ^.^"
Only one person sent me an item, and it was merely a Horse Plushie. Surprised at the lack of generosity, I was about to keep the lone plushie, when I decided to click on the player card. It wasn't someone that could barely spare the plushie, nevermind someone new to Jamaa.
It was one of the extremely rare people, with a bow AND a fox hat AND a glove. I gulped, and discarded the item sadly. There wasn't even any writing on the default JAG, even though the sender was a member.
I then proclaimed," Any items that are no thoughtful will be discarded. Sorry!"
A wolf with slits for eyes wearing a spike and a rare helmet walked up to me and cried," don't just expect people to send you rares!"
I responded," I'm not. A very rare Jammer just sent me a plushie. I love plushies, but I can't help but think that they only wanted to be mentioned in the mail..." "... time. :("
I fled from evil Aldan and went to Cascade, a much better-sounding name and a MUCH friendlier sever.
I wish, now, that I had paused to take a screenshot of the yelling wolf, or even the owner of the den, though she's probably entirely innocent.
Well, I couldn't say ENTIRELY.
Anyone playing on Aldan is anything but innocent.
