Once I did a post entitled "I Trust You", stating that I trust you guys with anything personal. Well, I want to see if my faith is proven correct. I also once did a post about an online horse simulator, Hill Cliff Horse. I need to tell you guys something about it.
So on HCH I had a really great friend. Her name was Rusty. We talked and laughed everytime we saw each other (this was back when I played HCH all the time) until I messed everything up.
So one time on was on her server, we were talking as usual, when an old friend of hers joined. It was clear that they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so I left to give them some privacy. Then I looked at the server when I had exited it and was brought back to the server page. I have no idea what made me do it. I have no idea what made me do the horrible, horrible thing that messed everything up. But I went back into the server and watched the chat. I only got one line that her friend said, but I wished I had just waited until her friend had left. Since Rusty was the one hosting the server, she was allowed to look at the people on her server. Well, she must have, because she suddenly said my name in the chat: "Echomoon?"
Right after, her friend simply said "-_-", so I knew he wanted to kill me. I replied with "I'm sorry Rusty. I'll leave. And I won't come back."
I left the server.
I stared at it on the server page for a few seconds, then exited the game to play something else. From then on I didn't play HCH very much at all.
Well, yesterday the guilt and sorrow overwhelmed me, so I entered HCH, joined the main server, and practically spammed the chat with "Has anyone seen a mare called Rusty?!" and so forth.
Finally, a guy called Netflix replied to me (as everyone else on the server ignored me).
"Rusty left the game."
He left the server.
I never told her how sorry I was, or what a horrible friend I had been. But I knew I deserved what had happened.
I am so sorry that you now know i'm not just a jolly, humorous little girl after all. Please do not make the same mistake I did. I trust you guys that you will all be - well, yourselves - about this. I haven't told anyone in my life (except for you guys of course) about this secret. You people are the first to know. I am so sorry if you think much less of me now, but I deserve it.
Sincerely,
~A Blue Echomoon
I promise I wont even tell my best friends.
Thank you so much everyone! You are all so mind! I knew I could trust you all! *hugs everyone*
Hey Starbeam? Can I facetime you or can you facetime me?
Echo It's ok we all make mistakes were not perfect, were just unique and diffrent from each other and that's what makes u special
Aww Echo! x runs over and hugs her x We don't mind! We forgive you!
Its not your fault Echo, she could have left for a number of reasons, I trust you guys a lot to
Dont take this out all on you Echo, like everyone else said, its not your fault really. And dont think your friend hates you because of this, I bet she doesnt
I agree with Dragon. We all make mistakes, especially when we aren't specifically told not to
I don’t understand. You said you’d give them some privacy and you came back and were judged for it. Like Dragon said, she didn’t ask you to leave. They could’ve gone on another server to talk things out.
Thank you so much Dragon. And no she never asked me to leave, but when I left for their privacy I told her I was going to go. Also it was just me and her in the server until the old friend joined. But thank you so much for not thinking any less about me, I knew I could count on you :)
Echomoon, I don't really think it was or a fault. HCH is a game open to the public, right? And all the servers are open to the public, right? If your "friend" Rusty wanted to have a private conversation with someone, there are other places to that. And further more you never said in your story that Rusty asked you at any point to leave her server, so maybe when she said "Echomoon?" she was just wanting to see if you were still there. Even if Rusty was mad at you or something, I doubt she left HCH because of that, there are a ton of reasons she could have left the game that have nothing to do with you.
