Just a little story

[Blood Wake]

I don't know if I ever told anyone about this but it struck my mind while looking at the forums and thought I'd share.

When I was in Middle school, about 13 years old I found RWL through use of the internet at the library. The school was within walking distance of my house with the library in between so I got into the habit of going there every day after school. At the time you could use the computers for 30-120 minutes depending on how busy it was and they had a frustrating set of rules; of course you must have a no porn rule within the library, but the no gaming or chat rules were pretty lame.

Though Library workers would kick off people who broke the rules, no one ever knew that RWL was a game so I always got away with playing it since the day I found it until this 22 year old or something started working.

He saw me playing and told me I had to get off. I was very angry and don't remember if I was able to complete my turns that day.

Throughout the next week or two I was able to get away with using my turns without him seeing since I was aware of him, but one day when I was researching some Final Fantasy stuff so that it looked like I wasn't playing games he stopped to chat and it turned out we were meant to be great friends so he asked about RWL and I showed it to him. He never showed interest in playing but would allow me to and I would sometimes fill him in on wars with Wolf Snare and what not. Cause Snare was probably my first enemy. HAHA.

Brad had actually worked there before I found RWL but then went on a mormon mission, he doesn't truly believe in all of it or follow its rules though. His mom also turned out be a teacher at the high school I would later go to and always hope to get in her class. I never had her as a teacher but she gave me a framed Beatles poster.

I would hang out at his house and play Halo until like 3 in the morning when we'd finally crash so my mom was worried that he was a child molester. Some other kids that were slightly older than me were also his friends and one time their mom came and picked them up from his house outraged that they were at this fat child molester's house. He of course doesn't molest children... that I'm aware of.

Cool guy, we're still good friends and I've probably benefited from our friendship in multiple ways.

Thanks RWL!

That's awesome, it's always cool to hear RWLers tell their friends in real life about RWL. :)
