Now on to tonight...I was hunting FI as usual, that's where I live these days, and had had a good couple of hour run when I ran into a char called 'Puffie', who up til this point had pegged for a possible bot, running for his/her life with a drake, a cockatrice, some DE's & several minos on his ass all the while giving the universal HELP sign '99'. So I took care of the cock for him, and started on the DE's when fucking G-Mino brought up the rear of the chase, lol. So I ran too, but got caught up in a tight spot with a couple of minos and the big one on my ass and ended up dyng to the fucking thing. Bah! That made death #23...
I restart and get situated and head back that way again to find Puffie, a level 60+ fire elf I believe (no summon out and didn't see him use water at all) beating the hell out of the G-Mino, and he '99'd me again so I joined in to give a hand. He ran low on mp's and I also needed a regen so we took off and got filled up and started again, this time ending it after a couple of minutes hard balling it's ass. I wasn't looking for anything, I was just trying to help out, but Puffie dropped me an n-dai for my trouble. How very nice of him! I figured by this point that whoever it is doesn't speak English, but 99, ^^ and =) go a long way in such situations. Thanks friend!

I went back to my levelling and had just about gained back what I'd lost and was cosidering staying up to get another % when fucking BlueMilkTea appeared behind me out of COI and killed my spirit. he then came after me, and I, being the Doofus that I am, ran like a girl going ????????? lol. Well he didn't stop and I started lagging a bit so I just quit running and took the inevitable, and I actually d/c'd at the moment of death. I log back into Lin and notice right off that I wasn't missing any %, so BMT did at least spare me that instead of letting me die by mops instead. I whis'd him and asked him why the hell he did that, and he very politely tells me that we're at war with MIT because apparently Karmoth hit him a couple of weeks ago at Top Drake, and that Anju knew about it all. He was very surprised when I told him I had no idea what he was talking about and that I hadn't seen Karmoth in weeks, literally, and had only seen Juju briefly a couple of days ago, and that he didn't say anything about it nor did either one of them send out a pledge note about it. He said he wouldn't hit me again, but told me to ask Anju about the situation..Which I did in form of a semi-rude pledge note. That's bullshit; and if it's true I think Karm should have let pledge know...

So technically that was death #24, but I'm not gonna count it since I didn't actually lose any experience. The counts stands at 23, for the time being.
On a good note I am actually over 50% now, I'll post some pics when I feel satisfied enough to do so. I am pleased with my progress thus far, but I must say i have been working my ass off the last few nights. The deaths haven't stopped yet, obviously, but they DO seem to have slowed down a bit **KNOCK ON WOOD** Ciao.
