Lessons of Jamaa #23: Hacking - Been there, done that

Yes, yes, yes, I have hacked.

But before we get into the story, let's clear the air.

My point in this blog is not to be the perfect role model, and say that I've done everything perfect with no mistakes. Because I'm not. No one is perfect, no matter how well they seem and hide their flaws. My point in this blog is to have you learn from my mistakes, so you don't make your own and have all the drama and stress I have had.

Yes, on XxFreeSpiritxX I did hack a little bit. Nothing big, not all the time. It wasn't very often. I remember when me and VisualEffects were friends. We were chatting late at night on Skype, and talking about freedom items and blah, blah, blah. I showed him the User ArticPaw (Who is now blacked out because he hasn't logged in in 30 days.) Who was wearing all freedoms, Mech, Wings, and Bands. Vis was in awe, and said he would 'guess articpaw's password until he died.' I remember I have heard of this stuff of hacking beta people, but not very often people succeeded. I started searching up random jammers, with beta names (Simple one word names) and found a few, tried to hack them, gave up. Some of them had nothing on them, most likely already had been hacked. I came across a jammer named Knowledge. He was wearing purple wings, and Regular (Purple and Orange) Gazelle Horns. I opened a new Animal Jam tab and typed in 'Knowledge' in the username box. I guessed his password for about five tries, and then to my surprise I got in. I recall telling Vis on Skype, I GOT IN!!!!!! I GOT IN!!!!!! And once I logged on, all knowledge has was the gazelles and purple wings with no den items. I remember really thinking if I should take the gazelles or not, and then I asked Vis on Skype, and he said, "Take them, I would, I won't tell anybody." and to this day I believe he has not, even though we aren't friends anymore. (That's another story..) I was pretty happy about the gazelles and traded them the next day and stuff for another top hat. (By the way, Visual ended up hacking nobody that night.) 

Later that day I logged onto Knowledge again, and became a local celebrity. At that time, not a lot of people knew about beta testers and stuff. I was a non-member wearing (Member) purple wings, because that's how it worked in beta. I remember on Knowledge someone offered a top hat for my Purple wings, and I declined, wondering if she would add more. I couldn't say anything except bubblechat in which I kept repeating, "Do you want to trade?" to this one jammer. PizzaWithIce and Aapen1 and the other jammer. (Who I will not name.) Were all hanging out in my den. Aapen1, (Pizzadrops brother) told the jammer that I was about to trade that you could wear my purple wings on non-members, because their special beta wings. She believed him, and traded me a Legend, Spike, Worn Blanket, And her Striped black top hat for my wings. I gladly, cleverly accepted the trade, deleted her and went to my locked den. She accused me of scamming her, and got her and her friends all around. There's more to this story, but it's unnecessary. 

I still remember her username to this day. I owe her a top hat. I know I do deep in my gut. If I ever    have the courage to send her a top hat, I will gladly do so, repaying a debt. I see her around every now and then, and avoid her. She doesn't know who I am. She will if she reads this. I'm sorry. 

The Point I'm trying to make is, Hacking or scamming or trickery of any type will leave a grudge in your stomach, no matter how many months past you'll always have that knot in your stomach get tighter and tighter and tighter.  (In this case It's been 5.5 months)

I have more hacking stories, but this was the rottenest I can 'fess up for now.
