One Thousand Things

(aka ‘Be Nice, Please!’)

A thousand things
you’ll never get,
But ten thousand things
you should never forget.
Because only kindness
Will kindness ever beget.

The Merc that helped to answer your questions
While you wander lost, in all five directions.
The Page that traded you a slotful of pots
When you ran low, even without your ‘pl0x!’

The Sin that drove your KS-er away
And smiled and said, ‘You’re welcome, it’s okay.’
The Assist that buffed you out of goodwill,
(Even if he was just trying to spam his skill…)

The Mage that dropped you antidotes
Just in time, before Poison made you croak.
The Magician that drew the aggro away,
But got critical-ed to death, at the end of the day.

The Archer that came to your rescue,
And PKB-ed murderous Golems away from you.
Don’t forget the poor Clerics, for your games
of Death Limbo always drive them insane.

Acros that helped you kill that high level mob,
And even let you have that ‘awsm!!’ drop.
The DK partying you randomly,
To buff your HP up with HyperBody.

Remember the Bandit that smiled at you?
Remember how you smiled back too.
F2’s an emoticon that’s so cheerful
(I wish I could find FlyFF’s equivalent too.)

Who else?
Hmm…
Oh yes!

The random Nooblet (yes, don’t forget them!)
Who bumped your fame (down to negative ten)
Be thankful that at least someone notices you,
Scare them back and say ‘Thank j00!’

(Just don’t return kind for kind,
It’s better to fame someone else, you’ll find.
The world will too easily go blind,
If eye for eye is to what we’re confined.)

What of those that keep spamming ‘plz res me’?
Ah, just ignore them, they’re dead already.
Besides, if you really care,
Try to save enough money for airfare.

Unknown faces behind words on the screen,
That cheer you up when someone’s mean
The ‘ew, that stinks’ when you missed a drop,
And the lame jokes that make you laugh a lot.

These are games, such games we play,
That so easily make or spoil your day.
We all really wish just to have some fun,
So try and make it good for everyone.

‘Get a life!’ You scoff at me and say,
But sadly, they ran out of stock today.
So maybe next time, I’ll try again,
For now, though, all these will remain…

The thousand things
I’ll never get,
The ten thousand things
I will never forget.
Because (so simple!) only kindness
Will kindness ever, ever beget!

Hee. Something I thought of when I was bored. IT EVEN RHYMES!
Thanks to all of MMOtales for so many of the inspiring incidents, both Maple and FlyFF.
Especially Lamvao, for that ‘airfare’ bit. ^^

Here’s continuing the cookie epidemic.

    That was absolutely awesome, the only way it could have been even better would be if it contained hints to more games than MS and some FlyFF ^^
