I attempted to stock up on Allied Notes for the update aswell but as usual there were bearly any fights going on so it seemed like a waste of time. I've been pretty excited for this Sunday since last week because the linkshell I joined, Weaponry, was supposed to be doing a Windy run (which I needed), however I noticed on Friday that they were doing Beaucedine instead. I was pretty bummed but not overly suprised cuz' that kinda crap happens to me all the time. My blues vanished when I noticed that the crappy shell I joined for Einherjar was doing a Windy run that Sunday. So, I figured great, I can tag along with them and get the clear, then run with my normal shell next week.
However, when we were getting ready to do our run on Sunday another LS named Illuminados took our spot. LS members bitched and moaned cuz' our leader had reserved the space on some website but those schedualer sites are pointless since they aren't sanction by SE. As soon as word came down that the other shell would get in before us I started feeling pretty down. The shell decided to go do Sandy but I had no intrest in doing San d'oria again so I said f-it and asked the leader of the shell that stole our spot if I could do the run since it's the last city I needed to be caught up with my current Dynamis shell. This is how that went.
Now, If I understood what he type correctly, first he says I can come, then he tells me that he won't invite me because one of the members in his shell doesn't want me to come. He then tells me if I give him 3 million gil I can come and I just have to trust that this complete stranger will give it all back at the end of the run. Needless to say, even if I had that kind of cash I wouldn't have been stupid enough to hand it over to this shady fellow, so, I just warped back to Whitegate and sat around feeling sorry for myself for a bit.
After an hour or two I couldn't shake the desire to get Dynamis Windurst completed today so I ran back to Windy, set my search comment to ask if I could tag a long and sat down next to the entrence. I ended up sitting there for a looooong time. I watched the last episode of Breaking Bad, played some BlazBlue, and excerised to the kill the time. Finally when I about to start my crunches a large group of people had amassed so I braced myself and asked the leader of Overkill, Overlordkain, if I could tag along with his shell. I got no response and thought he was just ignoring me but it turned out that he just missed my tell while he was getting everything organized. After debating a little bit on how we were going to do it, he just ended up giving me a glass and a pearl and I did the whole run.
Right off the bat I had a good feeling about this shell because they were tearing through the mobs with little difficulty and the route they took through the stage was different then the one I've taken every other time I've done this run. Things were going pretty smooth but we did eventually wipe...twice in a row. I started to doubt that we were going to win but we still had time so I stuck with it. It wasn't too long after that when I saw a giant statue crossing a bridge and knew victory was close at hand. The SOB got a couple of hits on me but I managed to survive get the clear.
Now I just have to hope Weaponry fails their Beacudine run so that they'll have to do it again next week and I can get the clear there too :)
