Hooray For Hump Day!!!

















Well well well, if it isn't another Wednesday post. I'll let you in on a little secret next week unless you can figure it out beforehand. And if you do, one big Maho 100 cooking cookie coming your way. Congrats Mahorosamasan. Don't you just love secrets and rewards??


So first off, I would like to mention that not only am I rich and black, but I really am really famous! Please meet Lesil, one of my many fans! Who by chance accosted me in Vanadiel just the other day. Big shout out to Lesil! And for all you shy fans out there, come out and say hi if you see me on, I don't bite.





We attempted to 3 man a ZNM and we ended pk'ing. There's nothing like being overloaded and getting slammed for 500 a swing. Just you wait Ob, Tramp will get her revenge!!!! We'll get you yet!!!




So I've been a really busy little tarutaru this week. I got me a parade gorget, partially thanks to Kobe...although I truly believe I could've gotten it on my own. Ok, I lie, maybe not. But you know how I am, lazy and procrastinating, I got it 10 mins before my static started. We did manage to get to level 50 so it wasn't all for naught. One of these days, I'm gonna have me a tanking contest! May the best taru win, or Schutz...








Rank 10


In addition, I finally finished the Windurst missions with my fellow tarutarians Lola and Jokul. So a big congratulations to us! That Star Sibyl, she's something else. I would love to say that it's a great amazing delicious storyline, but ranking up a level or two every 6 months or so, well, let's just say mission 8-1 to the end was great! No worries, no spoiler here!









And big thanks to Mariane and Sindar for coming to help clean Dirty Girk's messy roofless house. Him and his friends, they sure know how to throw a party! We had us a little siesta afterwards, nothing like a good power nap.





Nyzul

So, one of my favorite part of the game, Nyzul. Who does not like Nyzul?? It's always fun fun fun fun fun. I love how it's never ever the same. At times, floor 10 can be super duper hard and floor 100 would be cake. However, I have to say it is most fun when we get drops. And thanks to Lola's [incredibly tough] TH, we've been 5/5 on drops. Check out some of our goodies!






Treabor, you're lucky those Goli feet didn't drop, I would've laughed my ass off! There's hope for you yet!





Alrighty Folks, this is where i leave for 7 whole days. Fear not, there will always be dessert.

Heavily Medicated for Your Safety

First let's start with ignorant people!

Remember back in January-ish when I wrote about a stupid kid in my lit class? If not, here's the link for a quick refresher.

Well this gentleman said something along the lines of:

"I am completely for the death penalty. I think if you get put in jail you should get the death penalty. I mean think about it, if we killed everyone who went to jail there wouldn't be any problems with prison overcrowding. And I mean there are death penalty programs that are costing states money. That's just so dumb, just kill 'em already!"

Now, don't get me wrong, I am for the death penalty, an eye for an eye and all. (Though on a quick side not, Mahatma Ghandi did say "An eye for an eye leaves everybody blind.”) Now, obviously I don't want it taken that far, but there are some people who commit such heinous crimes that there is no rehabilitation for them through the prison systems.

But back to Captain Jackass over there. The prison system is in place to try and rehabilitate criminals so that they can become functioning members of society. Does it actually work? Well, that's not up to me to decide, but killing people instead of sending them to jail is ridiculous. What happens when someone is wrongly accused? What, we find out 6, 7, 8 months down the road that we killed an innocent man?

And while prison overcrowding is an issue we as a nation have to deal with, there are better ways. Though, I do recall hearing an interesting fact that close to 80% of people who leave prison to join society again do something to get back into prison within the next year. It was also insinuating that the ex-criminals do this because life in prison is so cushy - 3 meals a day, hobby activities, a bed, and a roof over their heads. Perhaps some sort of half-way house like is done with former drug addicts could improve the rehabilitation success rate?

Okay, enough with the heavy, onto the fun!

Nyzul

Well, we have been getting a lot of nice drops lately, including our first Denali Body, which Lola won. Félicitations mon amie!

And then Veb killed me... right after I cured him too! That brat. Il es avare!


And then! Another Goliard dropped! And I won! But, and then Askar dropped, and I won! Though, no one else wanted, I think.


And Schutz got some fancey red shoes to click together on her blu.



Oh yeah... And Lola and Treabor are {Too Weak} Lols












MMM

MMM is going very well! Lola and Jokul have most of the runes they need and we've been starting to do some of the NM vouchers! They are all very fun, but neither of them were at their full 'might'. Which scares me just a tad. But yeah, you can't have fun without some sort of risk. Amirite? Don't answer that, I know I'm right.










































Dynamis

Dynamis is going good! Lots of drops for us. I found out Jokul got some Sch and Drk yesterday too, so congratulations there. But one funny thing here - I lotted the whm pants, and yet they autosorted to Starblade... I dunno how it happened, but it's not a very important peice anyways, and it's not very rare, so I'm okay with it. Oh yeah, I cleared Jeuno so now I can do ice zones, fun fun.




Well I guess I'll leave you with the quotes for the past two weeks +. Sorry about the late updates, but you know me. I love to procrastinate. I forget who said this, but Procrastination forces creativity.


Have a great weekend. I hope to see you in game. :)

<3 Oprah.
