Hello, this is Kimker, and I'm confused.
I'm not a newbie. I've been on for months (though it's felt like longer), come
on Whyville everyday, and have lots of friends.
I'm not an oldbie, I guess. I know a ton about Whyville, and like I said, I
come on every day and have lots of friends. But I put on an oldbie sign and
WHAM! I was an automatic complaint target. Apparently, I'm not allowed to wear
an oldbie sign. "You haven't been in Whyville for a year," I was told.
But I know some things only a veteran would know. Did any of you know MediaWiz
used to be MediaMaven? Or Bigfoot's full name is Bigfoot Bill? Did you know
Whyville blacked out for about a week? Projectiles, plots, Club Y, the mall,
the Tiki Tours, GeoDig... these things weren't always around.
Did you know that the outside Dr. Lelia's could take you to a Haunted House
around Halloween? Wanna know a reason you shouldn't tease newbies by their looks?
When Whyville first started, NO ONE had faces! And when we finally got faces,
EVERYONE wore newbie stuff! Nothing else was invented yet!
How do I know these things? I read old Times issues!
So what am I???
I know I'm not a newbie. I'm apparently not allowed to be an oldbie. But I
have the knowledge of a semi-veteran. I heard the word middlebie once. That's
a bit of a mouthful, though...
Someone clear this up for me! Not that it really matters how long you've been
on... It's not my fault I didn't know Whyville existed until a while ago.
This is Kimker The Confused, signing off.
