User blog:CTheDragons/So now I am becoming paranoid...

As my streak counter ticks from 360 to 361 I have noticed my paranoia has increased.

It is for good reason I know. It from the trauma of last Friday 13 Oct 2017. A very unlucky day. Despite my edits had been recorded in my contributions to the Habitica wiki, it failed to increase my streak and thus was reduce to zero the next edit. This did become a test of trying to not throw things against walls. I pleaded and beg for those in higher places above to restore my wiki streak to its previous glory. Alas, although all agree a bug had burnt the streak to the ground, there was no magic in the kingdom that could raise it back up again.

So here I am, 11 months 3 weeks and counting and I am getting concern that this little hobby is becoming a big thing. Each day I edit I find I'm not satisfied with just one single edit. An inward urging that must be scratched, demands, I need at least complete two edits. Three edits and a sigh of relief leaves me. That being said it short live as I'm triple checking my streak counter against the streak in my Habitica daily. And then my relief is short live as the paranoia strikes up again. "Editing a wiki page will work best!" as I scurry around to find another edit. "That perfectly fine reply on wall, or blog for some reason may not count. That bug may strike again!" the muttering I hear in my head. Then back again to check that streak counter to make sure it well and truly stuck.

I know soon I will be able to rest. The beautiful platinum badge will be on my wall. In the mean time I'll try to keep the voices at bay and just check that streak counter again.
