What is the craziest thing that has ever happened to you in or with the game?

Just what the title says!


I'll start. This is a humdinger




So, I am casually perusing the wasteland, looking for some cheap PvP. And who do I come by? Shrubs!




I only knew of him because I stalk the forums (more then I should) And I recognized the avatar of his puppy immediately.


So, I sent a friendly "Yo! I totes recognize you from the forums, how is?"

(Note the time these messages where sent!)
(Also notw censores, to preserve the player's privacy/location/clan)






Anyway, we said hi like good commanders, and went our ways.


Next thing I know, I'm getting a random message from my buddy on Discord...




Now the time. just about 7 minuets after I first met Shrubs.


Also note that the last time he had sent me anything was 2AM that day.



Apparently his buddy

Who was none other then Shrubs

Had messaged him, congratulating him on hitting top 10 Offense players for the week (And he was sending me the link Shrubs had sent him to the screenshot of the current top 10)



So, in 10 minuets

I had just happened to casually find and recognize a forum user.

And had also casually learned that my bud, was his bud too.


I did not know my buddy knew Shrubs, and neither did my buddy know I had JUST met Shrubs.





So, step lightly out there! The wasteland is frighteningly smaller then you think!


Heads up high Commanders!

Cool to know! (Although I hope the ending statement is false... I'd absolutely hate to get extra radiation in my water supplies that came from the nukes I sent some of my "friends"). 

As for my story, (I'll shorten it a bit so it makes a bit more sense), I was playing this game at a library while doing homework, and one of my friends walked over and said he played it too.

Now, the people I know are into saying things like "Oh, that game? I'm level 100,000, with a trillion troops", but he actually logged in to show me his account! (Of course, he wasn't level 100,000, nor did he have a trillion troops)

I won't show his account just for his privacy, but it's pretty cool for me to think about!
