There I was enjoying a lovely walk through my world. The scenic beauty unfolding before me everywhere I looked. I headed down the valley which opened out into a gorgeous meadow. Wonderful.
As I approached the tree line I stopped dead
No.
Nah nah nah nah nah it isn't
NO way. You are not there. You did NOT appear on this gorgeous seed which took me hours and hours to find. start - delete - restart - delete...
You did not just ruin my mood. Ruin my day. Ruin my darn perfect seed.
My whole world just fell apart. I was seething with anger and hatred as I closed my eyes for a few seconds and reopened them hoping that it was a dream. But when I opened them...it was still there. Not walking away. Not running and hiding but it had the gall to just stand there staring at me.
UNICOOOOORN
What the heck. You nasty, evil little *******
Where or when my absolute hatred of unicorns came from I have no idea. Maybe it is a repressed childhood memory. Maybe it was because I refused to buy my daughter My Little Pony.
Yeah I hate those too.
This thing was on my seed and I had to get rid of it. But how?
If I kill it, it will respawn.
I could build on the land but then I would destroy the beautiful meadow.
I could tag the map and never return here but then I don't get to enjoy the meadow.
Hold on a minute. Unicorns are supposed to be as rare as rocking horse poo. Maybe no more will spawn. If that is the case, maybe I will get some cool loot for killing it.
Out came the evil side of Gemini Ravenwood.
I opened my inventory and picked up my gun. Thought about it and put the gun back.
That Unicorn has to die painfully. Really painfully.
I picked up my spear muwahahaha
I am going to kill it very slowly. Poke it to death one poke at a time. I am going to poke it, follow it, poke it, follow it, until it falls to the ground screaming and apologising for daring to set foot, feet, hoofs, on my land. Then I am going to poke it some more.
If another one spawns I will build a corral and capture a lot of them. When the corral is full I will throw sticks of dynamite amongst them and have an explosion in a paint factory.
I killed it. I got absolutely nothing. No loot, no screaming, nothing. It was very disappointing.
I resigned myself to the fact that another blooming Unicorn will appear at some point in the future.
The upside is that when I am in a bad mood or just downright angry about something, or want to have a break from building, I can always go unicorn hunting.
Maybe I will wander out of my meadow and then I can dig a cave, lure it in and then run out and full in the hole. Or have it follow me to hell and watch it boil to death.
Maybe I will get some rare loot in a future update.
Whatever happens in the future it certainly adds an unexpected extra dimension to my gameplay.
I hate Unicorns
