I just started trying to figure out scripting. Holy shit, it's confusing. I'm reading the article on BASIC scripting and I only get it a little bit, there's no way i'll ever understand the advanced scripting (or whatever it's called)

Well the easiest way, and the way I started to grasp scripting is by a practical situation. Like from now on for a while, so you get the hang of it, instead of using variable changes and the such, try going:

%VARIABLE := %VARIABLE + 1
(Variable is set to Variable plus one)

If you need a certain script, ask me or solo (or some other people, just naming the two people most likely to be on) and we'll write it for you to put in. Trust me, the easiest way is to get other people to do it for you and learn from what they do.

You can use variables for this, and I reckon it is a lot easier to use variables than scripting in this aspect. Use hidden text.

For example, your first accomplishment might be that you ate the whole birthday cake by yourself. This can be stated under the variable ACCOM1, or %ACCOM1 in scripting. When you have made the accomplishment, set ACCOM1 to 1 (doesn't matter if you do it through scripting or not). On the character sheet page, write the following:

List of accomplishments:

%%ACCOM1%=%1%%You ate the whole birthday cake by yourself at your fourteenth birthday.%%

You can just make a list out of all your accomplishments. In order to actually link to the page, though, make the Character Sheet item, and in the Item Options set it so that when it is "used" it will take you to the Character Sheet page. On the character sheet page, put a link with a destination of previous to link back to where you were. If you need any more help, just tell us.

Strong. Make sure the Use link always uses the script to know about last page. Then previous uses the script to go there.
