Shortly after I wrote my post last night the base of the main ARK
streamers that I watch was raided by a couple other tribes. They
came in with several T-Rexes and killed almost all of the dinosaurs
and I don't even want to guess how many hours it took to tame all of
those things. Then they went after the base and leveled all the top
floors and looted all of the stuff. So many hours of work. Some of
them at least were the ones who's base was leveled the other day
because they were capturing people and messing with them. There are
strong accusations that the other guys were stream sniping, meaning
they not only gathered intel by watching the other streams to plan
the attack and were also watching the streams during the attack so
they knew where people were and what was happening. It is also
speculated that one of the guys gave out the server password to
several of his friends (because it is a private server mostly for
streamers) and they helped him build up his army. All of it is still
based on speculation and rumors but apparently one of them has a
history of doing this so who knows. The raid lasted a long time
because the raiders were trying to track everyone down. Thanks to
the possible stream sniping it also looks like they knew where all
the beds were so they went around destroying those along with a
couple other personal bases belonging to the tribe members.
This morning a couple of the streamers I watch were still on. A few
had been working all night and managed to rebuild the first floor of
the main base all in metal along with one of the personal bases all
in metal. When I started watching one of them was floating high over
the raider's base, which he said he had been doing for the past six
hours. Whenever the raiders left to go collect resources he would go
down and mess with their base. Eventually there were only two people
left defending the base and the guy went down to talk to them. One
of them had only recently joined the tribe and was role-playing as a
mercenary. He also possibly has the highest ranked T-Rex on the
server. The guy I was watching did a lot of talking and managed to
convince the mercenary to leave the tribe because all he cared about
was his T-Rex and didn't want it killed. The other defender was a
“friend” of the guy I was watching and she eventually flew off,
after the guy took some shots at her with his rifle. And that is
when the fun began.
At this point another tribe member was online. He got on his bird
and destroyed the roof of the raider base because it had a metal
first floor but the second floor was wood. Then he went in, killed
all the offline raiders and went around destroying all the cabinets
and looting all the stuff (a lot of which was probably the tribe's
already). He took trips back up and loaded up the birds and the
first guy flew them back to the base, offloaded them, and came back
for another trip. After that they blew a hole in the outer fence
before the first guy had to get offline because he had been streaming
all night. And was kind of drunk because he had also been slowly
drinking beer throughout the night (“Am I drinking beer at 7:00AM?
It is 7:20AM and I have been drinking beer for 8 hours. So yes, I am
drinking beer.”)
For the next several hours the remaining tribe member systematically
lead all of the raider's dinosaurs, one by one, out through the hole
in the fence and into the ocean so they would drown. He originally
tried to kill them with his T-Rex but ended up getting completely
dominated by one of the raider's T-Rexes, which killed his. So he
went back to his bird and slowly lured them out into the ocean,
occasionally aggroing a megalodon to attack the dinosaurs in the
water and speed up the process. It was a little sad for the
dinosaurs but also funny because as he was luring them out of the
base he was using that baby-talk kind of voice that people use to
talk to dogs when they have done something good. People in his chat
were giving him crap for doing it when the raiders were offline but
he was offline during the attack last night and some of his dinosaurs
were killed, and the raiders have come across as dicks so far, so he
had no remorse. The raiders brought six T-Rexes and a few other
dinosaurs to wreck the base and kill all the dinosaurs. Today,
pretty much one man stole all the raiders loot and killed all of
their dinosaurs. At least the loot and dinosaurs at that base. They
are rumored to have at least one more.
I only slept about five hours last night because it took forever to
fall asleep and then I woke up really early and said screw it. I
made a few tweaks to my website and finally submitted it to the
discussion post. And I just now remembered that I was also supposed
to submit the website link separately on the assignment page. So
that was 36 minutes late. Hopefully I don't get too much taken off.
There is at least evidence that I was done with it because of the
time stamp on my discussion post and one of my classmates commented
on it earlier tonight. Too late to worry about it now, though.
Tonight I read a textbook chapter and several articles for class.
That is still from last week's reading. I need to read the chapters
on CSS so I can start adding that to my website and I need to start
writing my reflective journal entries because that is due on Monday.
It won't take much to do but I will of course drag it out until at
least Sunday night because I suck.
It is now closing in on one o'clock in the morning and I am hoping I
will be able to sleep tonight. I have been tired all day and managed
to avoid taking a nap, surprisingly, but now I'm not feeling it.
Again, because I suck. But I'm hoping for good things when my head
hits the pillow.
