Password Handling

NEVER GIVE OUT YOUR PASSWORD!!

Do I have to stretch it more? Don't even tell it to your friends that you know in real life! Do you know why? Here's a little story...

Here I am, raising my salary. 80 clams! That was the highest I could get it to, for now... I was so happy! I could buy anything! But something came over me. I wanted my salary even higher! The highest the salaries could get to was 116, but I was nowhere close.

Afterwards, I was still happy, so on a different chat program, I bragged to everyone. I met up with this guy; he was my friend's brother. He was one of the richest people on Whyville. I told him I raised my salary to 80 clams.

"Eighty clams is nothing," he said.

Another time, I had this friend over -- she also had Whyville. My parents were on the computer, so we played. She stayed over for supper.

Suddenly I got this phone call. It was my friend with the brother I'd been talking to. "Hi, I'm really bored, so maybe you can give me your password and I'll raise it."

Now, I KNEW I shouldn't have. But I just got so hyper and knew she was my friend. I gave her my password.

I went on Whyville the next day. I was so frightened. I changed the password. At school, she told me I changed my password. I pretended to be surprised and told her I'd change it back. I did. She and her other friends were then on my account at the same time as me. So I went right away to change the password once more.

Something caught my eye immediately. "That's not your password"??!! I knew immediately that the first thing they did was change the password. I phoned them, and they said it hadn't been them. YEAH RIGHT!

I e-mailed the password to me and... IT CAME! I finally got on and changed it. But the thing is, they took most of my face parts, my WHOLE HOUSE, and left me with nothing but one useless clam.

I started to cry. Nothing I could do. I couldn't go on her account and get my stuff back. But then I thought -- she changed my password into a not-so-obvious password.

So I tried that password on her account. IT WORKED! And even luckier! She had a Why-Pass!

I have to admit, I did change the password, but as soon as I took back ONLY my things, I changed it back.

She phoned me the next day and told me I took her stuff. WHAT?! I couldn't believe it! I only took my stuff back! But I hadn't been paying close enough attention. She had some furniture which I had thought she had stolen from me, so I sent it to me. I eventually went back and gave her back her stuff.

I knew NEVER to give out my password EVER again! No matter what! Especially if you have more than 300 face parts! She also knew never to mess with me again. The good news is, we made up, and we're still friends to this day.

My point is, never give out your password! Even to your friends you know personally, slept over with, played with -- she could be using you! And STEAL YOUR STUFF!

Please don't do what I did. I did a bad thing and she did a worse thing. I'm really scared now, but I can't deny the truth. Even it means banishing. *PLEASE CITY HALL!! DON'T BANISH MEEE!!!* OK!

Well, I have to go. And remember, there's only ONE space for your password. YOUR HEAD!
