"Not here in Tortuga"A normal Noobstown day, early October. Mining, selling stone to the town for projects, donating to the town bank... My mayor,
UnlikelyPirate, suddenly asks if I wanted to be a Town Assistant. I say, "But.. But.. Being a TA is a lot of responsibility

" Then the Captain says, "Ohh no lol not here in
Tortuga." So I accepted. Things were never the same since then.
Or so I thought.
A New WorldAhh, the dreaded TA job of recruiting people! A couple weeks into my TA-ship, I thought, "Let's give recruiting a try." So, at a time when 20 people were on, I stalked global chat for town-searchers, like a cat about to prey on a mouse. (Same sensation every single time I type /t add <name>). My mental list of TAs/mayors told me that
Magic271 and
ohlookawall were the only ones besides me who can add residents. I openly referred one guy to
Oakvale first. Then... It was my turn.
/t add xXAnimeOXxI met him at the town spawn, gave him a brief tour, and showed him his free plot. I helped him move things from his wildy house where
ViperVeryon8 also lived. Pretty social fellow. Next thing I know he was trying to recreate
Seastore in our town, after talking to
Seaside mayor
Debo37. He also got two of his friends into the town,
coolpolar876 and
HelloPriyanshu.
Some time later, Luffy-skinned
San57x100 became VIP then Moderator.
xXAnimeOXx also took on a Luffy skin. Thus, the "twin brother" relationship. I already was Ace-skinned before October started, with the "in-game little brother" position intended for my first Noobstown buddy,
clevelandbrown26. Nonetheless, I took San and Anime as my "little brothers," though San became more of a really good friend.
Anime and his friends became great
Tortuga residents, along with others I have also added--from
sombrerodude to
DrakkonOfNotch and
sliceanddice1234. One great joy of TA-ship is seeing your residents go through the learning experiences---master the server commands, grind mcMMO xp, look for good deals. Ultimately, Anime decided he wanted to build a town of his own.
---Writer's breathing break---
Time skip: After much support and advice (and a few corrections along the way), Anime established his own town,
ShinSekai. All things turned out for good, when a long-time friend of mine (who I feared left the server),
kjc_123, also joined Anime's town. Now they are part of the great nation of
Yunaiteddo.
Anime, his friends, and their endeavors give much pride to this... rather reserved Tortugan staffer.
To be continued...What does the future hold for the new breed of Tortugans? What potential lies in them? One thing is for sure--the will get the same support from the town staff, as always.
