My most embarassing moment in UO was when I first started Napa, a few years ago, and I had this axe. This was a special axe, you see, one that chopped trees. Oh, woo-eee. Anyway, I was chopping trees, and I kept seeing all of these houses in the woods and everything. So, I was like, "Holy shit, that's so cool; you can totally seclude yourself." So, I literally spent about three days trying to chop down an area large enough to place a house. Meanwhile, I was near another house, and the guy who lived there came out frequently to talk to me. He asked, "Why do you keep chopping in the same area?" To which I replied, "I'm trying to clear a spot for a house."
"Trees never disappear, dude."
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah. You can't build a house over anything (shrubs, trees, rocks, etc.)."
"Oh..."
Now that is just fucking dumb of me. I tried to chop down trees for three days in order to place a house. Whatever did I do with that deed, anyway?
