Ok, it all started like this. I was screwin' around sparing with my friend. This char was fairly new so I had little to no combat skills. She was in the middle of beatin the snot outta me when she backs off and yells, "GRANDPA has a tower deed."
Now this made no sense, so I ask. "WTF u talk'n about?"
She pops open a gate and I walk through all pumped and ready to snatch a tower deed. We pop up at the Brit east bank. I was thinking...well we're in town but hell, I don't have anything good on my I'd risk my life for a 400k tower deed and I'm sure you would to. I walk a few steps hitting AllNames looking for GRANDPA when she pops another gate and yells at me to get in (She's pushy....she beats me often). So I run in and this time we pop up in Occlo. I step out baffled only to get yelled at to get in another gate. So I go in that one and this time we pop up in front of a tower out of town where my "friend" Stretch is awaiting our arrival. Stretch yells out, "GRANDPA's over here!" and runs off to the right. I run after him and we come upon a group of 3 guildmates. Ones named GRANDPA so I run up to him. Snoop, and BAM, the stupid ass has the tower deed RIGHT THERE!
*YOINK* You have successfully stolen the item!
Now I crapped my armor when I saw that. I bolted straight north into the woods screaming like a women the entire way. Now these 3 idiots didn't even know I stole the deed yet. But I was still running (I'm sure u would of). Once I got like 5 screens away my friend started ICQing me, "Those losers are called a GM! Hahahahhaha!! I can't believe u got it!"
Now before I could respond I went to go hide my char. I pop open the window JUST in time to see 1 ettin and like 10 orcs and 2 orc mages spawn around me. Thanks OSI, love the spawn rate...really. Well I heavied my pants again and ran like a bitch. OK, now I'm no longer gray. I'd better bank this puppy (and clean out my pants). Well ya know what...I had no regs or runes. CRAP!!! I icqed my friend and she asked me where I was so she can gate me out. I didn't have a clue where I was, I didn't draw myself a map while I was running like hell OK SO STOP LAUGHING AT ME. Now I had to go back to where we where gated in to meet my friend. She sent Stretch out looking for me. So I aimlessly run around for 5 min when I see a bunch of boxes. It's a decayed house! I look in some of the boxes....crap...crap....then. I find it...2k worth of beeeeer!!! whoooohoooo!!! My lucky day. I run about 1 screen and I see Stretch run by. Thank god!!! I say, "gate stretch now" (I guess all that running made me stupid)
Stretch replies, "Alright man, just gimme the deed and we'll get outta here"
I soil myself (that's 3 times now for any of you that are keeping track) again and run. He runs after me, lucky he's lagged and as stupid as a box'a rox and I lose him after about 20 min of running. God I love 100 dex. Oddly enuff I ran right into an area I recognized. Hey! There's the tower we recalling into by! I run there, my friend pops outta hiding. I tell her that Stretch is trying to kill me and she laughs as usual...y does she laugh at everything?
I say to her, "gate gate gate!!" (still stupid)
(WTF?! Is this the twilight zone?! I've known her for almost year now!! Why is she doing this? I would have to appeal to her soft side, I would have to bring back good memories of us, I would have to coax her into gating us to a bank...I charmingly say....)
She gates to Occlo and I pop it in the bank. Is this the end of my story you ask? No its not so stop interrupting me. I walk over to the bar with my box of beer and start drinking. I see my friend and Stretch walk in. I told my friend that the tower was half mine and half hers. I told Stretch to suck it. I was so happy I was gitty. After that I had Stretch killed by my good friend Dark Spanker er...I mean Dark Slayer. The next day 100 Japanese programming slave monkeys on typewriters (a.k.a. OSI) released a new patch that requires 345 spaces or 1 small island per house so to this day I never placed the freak'n thing.
"There's this dude named GRANDPA and he has a tower deed!!!"
"uhh...ok."
"Come on lets go!"
(Now I've known this guy for about 2 hours and I wasn't about to do that)
I repeat, "stretch now gate"
"hey np, just hand over the deed"
"uhhh...no....gate"
"gimme the deed"
"no"
"give it to me and I'll gate"
"no"
Corp Por
"Ok gimme the deed and we'll go"
"OH PLEASE DEAR GOD GATE ME!!!! PLLEEEEEEASE"
(witty)
"Ok ok, calm down."
