Hey, Eraser. Thank you very much for the read and taking the time to post. I wonder, what that question you referred to may be? The scammers's motive in the advert, or the Why Bother? Actually, the advert was created as an after-thought, because I wanted to grab the attention of others, then surprise them with something completely different.
I have Googled it and I am amazed by the poem. I guess what goes on in our mind certainly has been someone else's thought too, at one point. To be honest, my inspiration for this was founded more on my favourite book at the time, The Great Gatsby.
I didn't quite understand the hood hypocrisy. Was it because both of us are wearing hoods and thus hopeless romantics?
.
But I liked the other hypocrisy better:
'I went through each forum, and came across some bizarre communities, namely the Stories forum (after all, who are these show-offs, people who have too much time on their hands and snobbish enough to write STORIES, or its more flamboyant relative, literary pretentions, about a computer game?).'
Trust me. I really had fun with that.

Well, this story has been accused of as a spin-off from The Great Gatsby
. It's true! One of the only few difference is that the wealth Kipplin accumulated weren't really 'real', and there was no concrete proof that David ever loved him in the first place.
But I think though, in the end Kipplin had given up, and it was the narrator's turn to try to impress David with what Kipplin had, ironically, the quantity of his love is quantified in dry numbers of XP and skill level.
To everyone else Kipplin would have just been any other no-lifer. Just like Gatsby was just a criminal. But actually, there's so much more, and no character is completely good or evil.
Perhaps this was why I loved Great Gatsby so much. It was sooo romantic
